      TO THE CHAHTISTS OF SCOTLAND GESEBALL > , AOT ) TO THOSE OF GLASGOW ESPECIALLY , jlx Dkib Fbiends , —I think yon -mil agree with that the success of our cause mainly depends fLji the character and conduct of the leaders . 1 jjre discovered amongst Scotchmen * great jealonsy * nd a proper jeslousy , npon these points . In fact , 1 have known a well-conducted operative to shed jmjs at the recital of immoral acts committed by leaders , from a consciousness that those acts would jedoand to the general disgrace of the party . I am jjan enough to believe that , in this respect , I haTe uph eld jour cause ; and that I am equally jealous « yourselves upon this vital point .

      1 am now abont to defend myself against a charge * falsehood brought against me by Mr . Acland , at <® e of your recent meetings . ' I take the following Bjjract from * Evening Star newspaper as the tSaigs . It runs thus : — * Bat model of cant , ^ dissimulation , and falsehood , iriand , i * s been lecturing here for the last eight | f ^ -ffe Trent into the Ball ^ Trades ') last night as S g fcjtow 'was about finbshing lor the night .

      > TesIted * ' theirleadas ' as everything that -was base j - _ jskBd K"n -whether he said to Mx . O'Connor vhjt the league intended to abut their -mills ir . order to case » tnnwmt ? He denied ibis flatly , and de-Wiwed ^ - O'C M 3 Tnaa * boss -word ¦ was jiot -worthy j jiaait .

      This miBsraKe tafcea-down tool of the League las become impertinent , by my heretofore silence upon this snbjsct . He has -smrten some letters to BBKspspere « oiymR * & »* he ^^ tnO 58 ™ which J charged him as naving used at Halifax . Ihoee papers < Sd not publish any answer from me , jon may i 33 * assured ; and to you no confirmation $ f my word was necessary . But dow , as he has ventured to repeat the contraction before a public meeting , my turn has come . j&is is my answer . I had never laid isy eyes upon Jlr . James Acland till I saw Mm at Halifax , upon $ 12 night of our discussion—if his annihilation degerv&s ihe name . I wa 3 not likely to speak to Km . Had 1 met him upon the following day , 1

      jhcmld not have spoken to hm . To meet him as the jjired proponnder « f false doctrines ^ for the purpose of exposing him , is one thing j to inset him as gn acquaintance would be another thing . I did not meat to ilr . Acland than . Did he come over and jaesS to me ! Let theXJhairman , Sir . Jackson , and lbs meeting answer that j and if he did speak to is , niai oid he say ! for he has not yet lold me Did be put Ms hand to his mouth , and his mouin to Bj-esi ? Let 4 he Chairman and the meeting say . T&sShadhe to say to a perfect stranger I Now , jnjsssraon is this : —Mr . Acland said to me

      preeseijas Ihsve stated in toe Northern Star , and joSdnieihatisTras the intention of the League jo stop rax jdhs . " The moment he sat down , I Eomoneditto Mr . Rash ton , and I also repeated it ia m fo&owmg terns i * the Rev . Mr . Jackson , aaa aioat a dozen -working men , who accompanied as to my hotel after the meeting . " Well , 1 think Aelaaa let the cat out of the bag to-night , when be told a ? that the masters intended stopping all the jbhTs . 2 ? ow the fellow iold me that in the hope of insuring my acquiesence in a project which of all osiers I most dread . " Sow , then , to that recital

      Uiere are many witnesseB . What , then , < 3 id Acland s » j to me ! For that must be the question . What iad he to say to a perfect stranger of whom he had written and spoken very disrespectly ? Bat is fatibET asserts , fcai npon the same evening he ehaBenged me toicnher discussion . " Jserei : it is filse . Bet , beyond the direct contradiction , hesr jet nrcpgstanaal denial of the assertioa . Tne fismssaon was isTnave been 5 eiween ~ ai . Acland and ^ r . Jacison . I travelled more than forty milts , and Accessed three pabiie meetings , and travelled tne

      Iswelve over a mouE ^ amo-as country a gig , in grj-ire minutes , in raia , to be on the $# , Tnerefore I was anxions to meet AchsL I had been informed that the meeting was fndfor the previous evening , and , uninvited , went ireh 3 Ir . Hobson to TTaiffa-r for the express p&rpose cf surprising Mr . Acland and the League . Hesfore I was not afraid of meeting Mr . Acland . B ie tibaTlenged me to ihriher discussion , it must laHbeea after ih « proceedings of that evening had teamiied ; and was the result likely to intimidate mhom another trial ? What was the result ? An

      xaadmeflt to his resolution , after three hours * ^ iistEgm conducted in the most creditatable manner , shk 3 nuaBimonsly , in a mfietmg of near 2000 jsses , and his own party well whipped in ! Could Ifben dread further discussion ? I had measured Bj ^ pi meBt and found him a mere plaything in my toss . I showed that the great county-gun of the lepie-H-as a mere bottle of froth ; and 1 made him isei list he was as good a Chartist as myself , xsd that if he thoughi he could obtain it , he would T ? £ a the Charter to a repeal of the Corn Iws . 2 ? ow , how cocH I be disinclined b motlier exposure of one of the leaders tf Ub hnherso opponents of my party 1 The & £ is , he never said one single sentence '

      Let us have a verdict of public opinion delivered in open court by a jury too large to be packed and too virtuous to be bribed . I shall be at Manchester on Monday night next ; at Rochdale on Tuesday ; at Oldham on Wednesday ; at Ashton on Thursday ; at Bradford on Friday ; and at Huddersfield on Saturday . I thus publicly apprise friend and foe of my coming , so that they may have ample time to muster their forces , to crash me if they can . I make this

      tour to redeem my pledge to those places , where great exertions were made to send delegates to the Conference , and which I promised to reqnite by all mean 3 in my power . Thus my friend 3 have I embraced the earliest opportunity to relieve yon from the pain which the uncontradicted charge of falsehood against me would cause . Mr . Acland used the very words stated at the time in the Northern Star . He never challenged me to furthur discussion 1 now throw down the gauntlet , who will dare to take it up on behalf of the League !

      I am , my friends , Your true and faithful friend , Feabgus O'Consob .

      ( From our own Correspondents The all-absorbing topic of the moment is the stoppage of the Sheffield Old Bask of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co . This important intelligence was nia . de kxpwn on Saturday last , through the medium of the following notice posted on the door of the

      bank : — "" IT is with the deepest regret that Messrs . Parker Shore , and Co ., announce to their much-valued con-, nection and the public , that , owing to the long-continued commercial depression , and the heavy losses which their banking-house has sustained in preceding years , they are under the necessity of suspending payment ; and they have also to announce tothesrediiors of the house , that immediate steps -will be taken to bring their affairs to a close . Sheffield Bank , January 1-ith , 1843 . " The above intelligence was not generally known until Mondy , when , as may be supposed , not a little exciiement was the consequence . Soon after ten o ' clock on Monday morning , the door of the bank was opened for a short time , and an act of bankruptcy was committed by refusing the payment of the notes .

      In the course of the forenoon , placards , of which the following is a copy were posted in the town : — a In consequence of the lamented suspension of payments by Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., it has been thought advisable bv a number of the principal merchants and inhabitants of Sheffield , that a public meeting should be convened to express their unabated confidence in the stability of the other banks of this town ; I accordingly hereby convene a meeting of the merchants , manufacturers , and inhabitants of Sheffield , to be held at the Cutlers Ball , at three o ' clock in the afternoon of this day , ( Monday ) when the company of as many as can attend is earnestly desired . " Whllam Bkoadhubsj , Master Cutler . " " Sheffield , Jan . 16 , 1843 . "

      Shortly after three o ' clock the large room was crowded principally with the middle class ; a few working men were present who having nothing more profitable to do , came , seemingly , to see the long faces and hear the dolorous compliments of their " respectable" friends . On tbe motion of Mr . Page , seconded by Mr . Pierson , the Master Cutler xras unanimously called to the chair . " James Montgomery , Esq . moved , seconded by Samuel HatSeld , Esq . the following resolution , which was supported by 1 . Bonn , Esq ., and carried unanimously . " That this meeting deeply regrets the circumstances which havo compelled the Sheffield Old Bank , of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., to suspend paymeiit . "

      Waiiam Fisher , Esq ., moved—seconded by Alfred Sorby , Esq ., the second resolution , which was also Carried unanimously" That in order to obviate any aggravation of the great calamity , by unnessary distrust , we , tbe undersigned , hereby express our entire and Bnabated confidence , in all the Banks at present existing in Sheffield , viz : —The Sheffield and Rotherham Banking Company ; Messrs . Rimington and Younge ' s Bank the Sheffield Banking Company , the Yorkshire District Bank , thb Sheffield and Hallamshire Banking Company , and the Sheffield and Retford Bankiug Company ; and we pledge ourselves to take their notes as usual . " On the motion of Joseph Levick , Esq ., seconded by Sobert Sorbv , E * q-, the thanks of the meeting yrereretedto the Master Cutler , for his promptitude in calling the meeting , and his condact in the chair .

      The Master Cutler acknowledged the compliment , and most of the oommercial chiefs present having affixed their signatures to the second resolution the meeting . broke up . In tbe evening window bill 3 wero left at the principal shops of the town on which it was intimated that the notes of the above-named banks would be taken wherever the bills were exhibited . On Tuesday morning large placards were extensively posted , giving the resolution of confidence in the existing banks , adopted at the meeting on the previous day , with the names of the principal merchants and manufacturers of Sheffield attached .

      Tuesday being market day , there was as nsual a large influx of country people , augmented , on this occasion , by the intelligence of the stoppage of the Old Bank ; many were the grievous tales told , and msDV who had come to Sheffield hoping to find rumour false , as she usually is , found their hopes blasted and their fears realised—it would be with heavy hearts they left Sheffield that evening . The tales of losses , or anticipated losses , which if they prove - to be so , will inflict a vast amount of ruin and suffering on the town , are , as may be Euppesed , rife on all sides . Ws are informed that the greater part of the unions , sick clubs , and other societies in the town had their funds lodged in the hands of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co . ; of course great i 3 the anxiety felt among those bodies .

      The third edition t > f tne Iris stated that arrangements were in progress for immediately re-opening the bank ; but the Independent is nearer the park in staling " that the affairs of the bank will be wound up under a fiat in bankruptcy , " adding what a great many will fervently pray may prove true , " that ft is confidently expected that the assets of the bank , aided by tbe property of the partners , will prove more than adequate to the payment of all demands . ' Notwithstanding the promptitude of the Master

      Cutler , and the confidence resolutions of the respectables , < which no doubt has done something to prevent panic , ) credit is so fax shaken < and no wonder , for of all banks in the town , the Old Bank had , np to last Saturday , by far the greatest share of public confidence . ) that to our knowledge not a few of the shop-keeping community have determined to refuse , and are refusing , ail notes except Bsnk of England . A few days will test the boasted " stability" of mere than " one suspected establishment , enough for tie present , that there is anything but that confidence so much vaunted of . r , j- _ ,-y- i . in m , ^^ i ¦ » . ¦ igtn ¦ ¦ ¦ .

      The Militat . —Impobta ^ t Cask . —At the Rochdale peuy sessions , on Friday last , a case , which excited srnne interest , was brought before Messrs . Royds and KelsalL It appeared that four private soldiers of the 60 ih Riflas , stationed at Rochdale , had , oil the previous evening , apprehended a man named John Simpson , living _ at Rochdale , and locked him np in the prison without the superintentiant of police being acquainted with th 3 circumstances . 'It appeared from the evidence , that one of the soldiers got drunk in the town , and was knocked down by some person unknown . Having been informid that Simpson was the individual whastruck him , be , accompanied by three other soldiers , proceeded to Simpson ' s house , and the four drew their

      swords and threatened that if Simpson did not go with them to the lock-up they would stab him , or any other person who might attempt to rescue him Simpson was obliged to go with them , and was brought up on Friday , when the above was stated . Mr ^ Hunt , solicitor , defended Simpson , and it ww proved he was not tie person who had Btruckthe soldier . Mr . Royds immediately discharged defendant , and the soldiers were severely reprimanded for their rash proceedings . —fWas that all !] ExtHPtE to La > "dlobds . —The Marquis of Lansdowne has placed at the disposal of bis Irish agent the sum of ^ 1 , 006 , to be laid out in draining , under the guidance of an eminent agriculturist , whose services are to be employed in advancing the improvements of the farms , and the tenants are to bave the benefit of earning this money among themselves .

      ETJUt . — -Some little excitement has been produced within these two or three weeks by the refusal of Mr . Padgett , the late treasurer and agent of the Association , for newspapers , publications , and beverage , to produce and make up his books , or to give to the Council any account of the monies which have gone through his hands during the past year . This , as he and the Council should have gone out of office at tbe end of December , was absolutely necessary . Every effort however -was made , but all of them unsuccessful , to induce him so to do . He positively refused to bring tbe books to the Council at all for inspection , or to make out any balance , so as to enable them to bring the accounts of the Association before tho members for final auditing .

      After repeated applications , which were met only witn inBult , the Council determined to bring the matter before the members . Accordingly a members' meeting was" determined on for last Monday evening , to take the whole matter into consideration . But ths Council having learned in the meantime that Mr . Padgett would , on that evening , be engaged at a dinner to be given fcy the Sturgeite Corn Law Repealers , to him and Mr . Webster For their services at the late Conference , the resolution wasrescinded , and the meeting fixed for Tuesday , to give Mr . gad « ett an opportunity to attend . He did attend . Mr . Arran was called to the chair , and a very long and patient in-rcstipation of the whole matter was gone iBtoample latitude was given to Mr . Padgett to say

      whatever he pleased in reply to every speaker , save the closing reply of the mover of a resolutioH , which was adopted . He was supported by one or two persons in most irregular ana factious style ; and , after ^ nore than two hours' conversational discussion , a resolution was almost unanimously adopted , affirming that " In the opinion of this meeting , the conduct of Mr . Padgett , the late Treasurer , in refusing to make up his books , or give an account of the monies that have passed through his hands , that the Councillors may retire from office , is at variance with every principle of Chartism and' honesty , and disentitles him to the confidence of this Association . "

      An amendment was moved , " That a Committee be appointed to see to the matter . " About eight persona voted for the amendment , and about forty for the -resolution . Mr . Padgefc very coolly assured the meeting that they might pass whatever resolutions they pleased ; it would make no difference at all to him , and walked away . . A council meeting was ordered for the next evening ; the secretary waa directed to send a written note to Mr . Padgett , requesting his attendance at the meeting for the purpose of fi- ally closing the accounts- Mr . Padgett sent a verbal answer to the Council , that he considered the business done with by last night ' s vote , and that he had other business to attend to . On

      this statemant being made to the Council , the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That this Council , having repeatedly , within the last three weeks , requested Mr . Padgett , the late treasurer , to produce his booka that the accounts of the . Council may be made up and audited previous to their retirement from office , and that person having constantly refused to do so , or to make out any acconn ^ of the monies which have gone through his bands for tbe kit year ; having specially requested Mr . Padgett to attend this meeting for the purpose of having the accounts finally made up , and that person having refused , the members of this council are reluctantly compelled to declare Mr . Padgett utterly unworthy of trust or confidence ; and this council will not hereafter act or consult with Sr . Padgett on any matter or thing which may concern the Chartist movement

      and this council request that none of their Chartist brethren will hereafter pay money into Mr . Padgett ' s hands . " There was not upon this resolution one dissentient . Every member present , whether of the new or old council , as well as some members of the Association , who were not councillors , knowing all the circumstances , heartily concurred in it . It was then resolved unanimously : " That this Council do now dissolve , and that the new Council enter upon their dutie 3 forthwith . " Arrangements were then made for procuring new books in place of those frandently withheld by Mr . Padgett , and for preventing , as far as may be , that person from fnrther appropriating the monies of the Association . Various matters of local business-were then gone into with an excellent spirit of unanimous good feeling . Among lhe rest , Mr . Hill was requested , by resolution , to delmr a lecture to the Chartist of Hull , on Monday evening , to which he assented .

      GIiASGOW . —Akdebston . —A public meeting was held here , on Monday evening , in the Chartist Hall , to hear an address from Mr . J . Moir ; Mr . A . Harley in the chair . Mr . Moir spoke at considerable length , exposing the bollowness of the party who called the late Birmingham Conference .

A vote of thanks was given to Mr . Cook for his services . We have already stated that we cannot insert these documents at length ; the present one would occupy nearly two columns of the Star , and possess only a local interest .

      LONDON . —A PcBiic Meeting , numerously attended , wasi held on Tuesday evening , at the Social Hall ,, J ( vhiteohapel , to hear the report of the Delegates , s ? at from the Tower Hamlets to the Birmingham Conference . Mr . Drake wa 3 called to the chair , and after briefly opening the meeting and stating its objects , called upon Mr . M'Grath to deliver his report . Mr . M ' Grath commenced by slating that they were assembled in accordance with the Democratic principle they were straggling to establish , that those to whom power was entrusted should be responsible for its * exerci e , and should render an account of their stewardship . That salutary controul vested in the hands of the people would be . almost in itself sufficient to make a ro £ ue

      ah honest man . The public press having placed before the country' the business transacted at the Conference , he should confine himself to the ques * tion of what good that assembly had done ; the prospective good which they had in view in assembling at Birmingham , wag the probability of a union being effected with the middle clashes , but , notwithstanding the Chartist Delegates had promoted this object with all their hearts , it had eignally failed ; still good had been effected ; several alterations had been made in the document called the People ' s Charter which in his opinion , were improvements , bnt the grand good in his opinion i was the great demonstration in the very b ? art of Efagland in favour of the People ' s Ohartfjv ' - ' - ' -B&wSWtea i were there assembled

      from the hilla and valleys of Scotland and Wales , and : from the green fields of EnKland , ~ ftSBe « ing that they would join in no agitation which did riot go to inscribe the People ' s Charter 011 tbe Statute Book of the land . ( Cheers . ) He was glad to see a member of the Council of the Complete Suffrage union upon the platform . He accused that body of injustice towards the delegates assembled at the Conference . They had no authority to foiat a bill of their own upon the attention of the Conference ; it had met expressly to prepare a bill and not to discuss one proposed by the Council . He was anxious to have voted for the motion to have the two bills laid upon the table , and to show to the world that if any improvements could be made in

      the Charter , they were willing to adopt them ; but the Complete Suffrage Party would not agree to that ; they were determined to have their Bill , their whole Bill , and nothing but their Bill- ( hear)—and because the Conference would not agree to this they had the extreme insolence and audacity to go to another room , vote themselves the Conference , and proceed with their own Bill . In his opinion the test of sincerity was consistency , and when ho saw the Sturge party pretending to democracy , and acting in such an undemocratic manner , it proved to him roat their professions were insincere , and that the time was not yet arrived when the middle class would cordially co-operate with them . Mr . M'Grath then in an eloquent strain shewed the manner in which

      the working men had ever been made the tools in the hands of the middle and upper classes ; he adverted to the speeches of Dr . Ritchie and Mr . Miall at the Conference , and denied that the middle classes had ever rescued the principles of the Charter from odium or disgrace . Onu of the main objections made against it at ' the Conference was , that they were physical force O'Connonte Chartists ; he rerepelled their charge of physical force ; if by being an O'Connorite Chartist they meant one who was a Chartist because O'Connor was , he denied the statement . He was a Chartist from principle , from firm conviction ; ho was ^ a Chartist because he boro the mark of tyranny on ~ his brow ; because he thought injustice to man was an insult to God . But if to admire O'Connor was to be an O'Connorite Chartist , then be was one . If he compared the efforts of O'Connor with those of any man

      of his day , or with those of Home Tooke , Cartwright , or those patriots who had preceded him , he must give to O'Connor the honour of pre-eminence in the advocacy of tho People's rights . When was there a victim in distress wanting bail , that O'Connor did not support and relieve him ? So long as gratitude was a distinctive feature in the Bruith character ; so long as O'Connor continued in the samo course as he did at present ; so long would he have the support , gratitude , and affection of the people . Mr . M'Grath then entered into the question of free trade , and having completely exposed the fallacy of it ? lerdiug doctrines , sat down loudly cheered . Mr . Robson briefly supported the views advanced by his brother delegates , and should be happy to auswer any questions which might be put to him . Mr . Wilson should not occupy their time any further than to correct a wrong statement in the minutes of the Conference . In section the 5 ih

      of penalties , it stated that Mr . Wilson moved an amendment that the penalty should be six months imprisonment and deprivation of electoral rights for three years , this was incorrect ; he moved the punishment of six months , and entirely objected to the three years' di&franchisement . He took that opportunity publicly to correct the mistatement , Mr . Robson made an apology for the absence of the other delegate , Dr . Wade . The Chairman then enquired if any parties had any observation to make . Mr . Neesom said , that seeing by the placards it was a publio meeting of the inhabitants and not a meeting of any class , he should state his opinion upon the subject before them . At the election of delegates he had

      allowed himself to be put ia nomination merely to gain a hearing , knowing from past experience that it was not always to be obtained . An observation had been made that a member of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union was in the room . He acknowledged being the person alluded to . He had stated at the election that it was a matter of perfect indifference to him whether they elected him or not , as he could attend « as a member of the Council , and speak upon any subject , though he should be deprived , and that very justly , too , of a vote . He should have been a most consummate blockhead , if he bad expected to have been elected after the treatment he had received on various occasions . Mr . Neesom then stated that if he had been at tbe

      Conference , he should have acted in a similar manner to their delegates ; that he considered the Charter entitled to equality , if not to precedence . He had no hopes that union could be effected between tne middle ai d working classes . As a whole , they were both too ignorant to be in a condition to unite for any common good , but he had expected that a union might have been effected between the honest and intelligent portions of both classes . He disapproved of the conduct of the Council of the Suffrage Union , and should retire from that body —( cheers ) . He did not say that to gain their applause , for he would as soon have their displeasure . He should also withdraw from being a member of the Suffrage Association , if they in any way acted

      inconsistent with the principles they professed . Mr . Frazer moved the following resolution , ^ ' That this meeting having heard the report of their delegates to the late Birmingham Conference , highly approve of their straightforward , manly , and independent conduct , and hereby tender them , as a commensurate reward , this their public mark of confidence and approbation . " Mr . Benbow seconded the resolution , which was carried uuanimously . Mr . NeeBom moved the resolution embodying a portion of that passed at the Birmingham Conference , and concluding with entreating the Chartists to abstain from wantonly interrupting publio meetings called by any section of Reformers , and in a long address endeavoured to show the impolioy of opposing the

      Corn Law Repeal meetings , disclaiming at the same time that he was receiving any portion of the League £ 5 Q , 000 . Mr . Hooper brivfly seconded the resolution . Mr . Robson moved , as an amendment , the resolution passed by the Conference . Mr . Mantz , in a speech of considerable length , seconded the amendment . Mr . Edwards supported the motion , and charged the Chartists with violently interrupting public meetings —( cries of " Name , name , ")—at the Uity-road , during the discussion between Watkins and Watson . Mr . Wheeler replied to ths chaises of Mr . Edwards . Mr . Boggis supported the amendment . The Chairman then put the motion and the

      amendment , when the latter was carried with two dissentients . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting separated . Flora Tavern , Yokk-i > lace , Barnsburt Park . —Mr . Knight lectured here on Sunday evening ; subject , " What is the secret enemy which destroys us , " and showed to the satisfaction of his audience that pride and prejudice . were the principal causes of the disunion and weakness exfeting in the people ' s ranks ; when united , the people were all-powerful , but when divided they we ' re weak and powerless to effect any great object . The room was crowded to excess , and a vote of thanks was unanimously given to Mr . Knight for his services .

      CiEHKENWELL . —The Chartists of Clcrkenwell held their usual weekly meeting at the Patriot Coffee Honse , on Monday evening last . Mr . Fuzzen in the chair . After the transaction of business of minor importance , on the motion of Mr . Wheeler , it was resolved that the locality elect a delegate to the Metropolitan delegate council . Mr . Sharp was accordingly elected as a delegate . Some observations were then made by a member on the propriety of considering Mr . Cooper ' s plan of organization . The chairman read the plan to the meeting when it was determined that it should be brought before the members next meeting night , for their approval or dissent . The subject of the new City Hall was brought before tho meeting , and , after some discussion Mr . Colemau was appointed as agent fox this locality

      TO THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . My Friends—I earnestly direct j our attention to the fact , that the " Political Victim Defence and Family Support Fund" has been almost entirely overlooked during the past month or six weeksyour attention , during that period , having ( naturally enough ) been absorbed by the proceedings connected with the recent Conference . JNow , however , that the business of that Conference has been transacted , you will not be angry when assured that you will prove yourselves as base slaves ; and cowaids as ever disgraced manhood , if you further delay a duty , which , it must be candidly admitted , has been a great deal too much neglected . j

      The recent Conference honoured me by their unanimous appointment as the Treasurer of this too necessary , and I repeat , equally unfortunately , too greatly neglected fund . Now , it rests with youthe people—to determine whether this appointment sha 1 be something more than a mere pretence—a bitter mockery to our perstcuted friends , and an insult to myself personally ; for in no other light could I view the appointing me to an cfiiee to which no duties are attached . Make me really and truly your treasurer , and I will honestly fulfil my trust ; but I will not be a treasurer in name bnl y . As an evidence of my desire to aid you ia creating a fund equal to the necessities of the occasion , I now

      beg to submit a proposal to you . As the proprietor of the English Chartist Circular , I have accumulated an immense stock of back numbers of that publication ; that is , I have sunk "a pretty ( considerable " sum , —as Brother Jonathan would fiay—in printing more copies of each number of the Circular than the people thought proper to purchase . Possibly , iu the course of time , this " back stock" of mine kight be lessened by its subsequent Bale for perfecting sets and volumes of the Circular . But be that as it may , I think it better to devote it to an immediate good purpose . Well , then , I propose to place this " back

      stock ' of my Circular at your disposal . This offer , however , is a cmidilional one , namely , that you sell as well as purchase the Circular , and apply the proceeds to the Defence Fund 1 Thia can be easily effected . For instance , a Local Council of the National Charter Association , forward to me ten shillings and four-pence ; in return , [ I will send them four hundred copies of the Circiilar . Having disposed of these , they will have returned tbeir ton shillings and four-pence , ( which I shall have placed to tbo Defence Fund . ) together with' a profit for their own local association ! \

      Say , is not this a plan in which even the very " poorest of the poor" can co-operate j ? Recollect , too , that it will enable you to effect three good objects at one and the samo time , ] namely , the creation of a defence fund—the diffusion of your principles , as advocated in the Circular—and the augmentation of your local funds . 1 now leave this matter in your hands , with the hope that you wiif'decide quickly upon- it . At any

      rate , whether you accept or decline my offer , one thing is quite certain—we must now have a proper defence fund . We can count but a : few weeks between the month of March , when our persecuted friends must take their trial—defended , if yon supply them with the means of defence : without defence , if yon are base enough to leave them to the "tender mercy , " and unchecked brutality of an Abinger ! j Brother Chartists ! up , then , "to thia rescue , "is the earnest exhortation of

      Your Friend , ¦ John Cleave , Treasurer P . S . —What about Abinger \ Have joxx . forgotten him ? I should like to hear how many petitions you have prepared to the House of Commons in support of " honest Thomas Duncombe ' s" proposed motion for an enquiry into the conduct of Sour modern Jeffries . u Good folks all , " look to this . Parliament will te-assemble in . February ( next month . ) Again , I ask , where are your petitions ! I

      NEWCASTLE . —Mr . Kidd , delegata to the Birmingham Conference from Glasgow , delivered a lecture iu the Chartist Hall , Goat Inn , Cloth Market , on Sunday evening . Mr . Kidd was received with , general marks cf approbation , and lectured in firstrate style for upwards of two hours , proving to the satisfaction of all present , that nothing short of the People ' s Charter coald effectually remove the present misery so lamentably prevalent in the industrious ranks of society in these realms . After depicting the great amount of misery which exists in many parts of the country which he had lately visited , he declared himself prepared to prove that nothing short of the suffrage of the People ' s Charter could

      substantially alleviate that distress ; he was prepared to prove that the agitators for Complete Suffrage ( as they termed themselves as a distinction , from the Chartists ) were either dishonest , or thai they were aoting impolitic and consequently inimical to the cause of universal freedom ; and that he was likewise prepared to prove to Mr . Cobden or any other person that the free-trade nostrums of the League would not enrich the working classes of this country , as they pretend , but that a repeal of the Com Laws , under existing circumstances , would be a curse instead of a blessing to the British sons of toil . Mr . K . advanced mauy strong arguments ia support of his position , and remarked that he had

      many more to advance , which ho would then reserve , as he would in all probability have an opportunity of entering more fully into tne subject in the course of the week , when he hoped the advocates of free trade (?) would have the manliness of meeting him upon the subject . Mr . Kidd concluded the lecture by calling upon all who had the interest of the industrious' classes of this nation at heart , to come and unite for tbe Charter , as nothing but unanimity on tbe part of the working people was requisite to effect their glorious object . The chairman then said that if any persoa present differed in opinion from the speaker , and

      was inclined to express such difference , that they would have the same opportunity afforded them of expressing their opinions as he had , that he would pledge himself that they would get a courteous hearing , and that Mr . Kidd was ready to answer any questions respectiug his lecture and to maintain the postions he had taken .. . No questions having been , put , 3 vote of thanks was unanimously tendered to Mr . Kidd for-the able manner in which he had advocated the principles of genuine liberty that evening , and the meeting separated highly gratified with the entertainment .

      MANCHESTER . —On Thursday evening week , Mr . James Leach delivered a lecture to tbe Chartist Mechanics , in tbeir room , Brown-street . The lecture was listened to with marked attention by the audience , who were highly satisfied with the clear and lucid manner in which Mr . Leach haudled his subject . Tbo thanks of the meeting were given to the lecturer and the chairman . Carpenter's Hall .. —On Sunday last , the usual weekly meetingB were held in the above ball . In the afternoon , Mr . James Wood waa called to the chair . He opened the meeting by a few appropriate remarks and introduced Mr . C . Doyle . Mr . Doyle commenced by saying that the weather was very cold , but not tear so

      cold as tbe hearts of the men of Manchester in the great eause of political redemption . He was sorry to see the thinness of tbe meeting , in fact he was more than sorry , he was displeased : especially when be knew that on certain occasions twenty thousand Chartists could be mustered with very abort notice . He did expect that as the town had been placarded announcing the meeting and the subject of tbe lecture that they would have had a good meeting , for he must confess that he would much rather have seen three thousand in the hall than , a few hundreds as on the present occasion . Not that he cared , as far as the advocacy of the Chartist principles were concerned , whether there were twenty or twenty thousand present ; but in the town 'Where CUaitism waa tbe most popular , it showed a great amount ef apathy in the people . Mr . Dovle then gave a faithful account of the late

      Conference , and showed up the " Sucking Pig" party in their proper colours , amid the repeated plaudits of the meeting . He concluded by an earnest appeal to tha people to aronse themselves from their apathy , as , in his opinion , there never was a time that required greater energy and watchfulness than the present The thanks of tbe meeting being given to the chairman and lecturer , the assembly broke up . In the evening the spacious ball was well filled with a highly respectibla audience . Mr . John Murray was called to the chair , who , after briefly addressing tbe meeting , introduced Mr . Brown , from London , who delivered a most powerful address , which was loudly applauded . A collection was then made , after which Mr . Thomas Dickinson addressed tbe meeting , for a short time , upon the £ 50 , 000 swindle . The thanks of the meeting having been given to the two gentlemen who had addieaeed them , and to the chairman , the people dispersed ..

Bickenson ' a reply , they came to the unanimoua resolution 1 of honourably exonerating Mr . Bicbenson from , any intention of doing iDjury to the people's cause , at the same time declaring the charges brought forward- as frivolous and unworthy of notice . Mr . Dickonson having thanked the Council fox . then-good opinion , stated that he had determined to retire from public life ; and presented the Council with his credentials aa a lecturer

      It was moved by Jeremiah Lane , a&A seconded by Mr . John Nuttall , and carried unanimously , " That Mr . Dickenson be requested to take , back bis credentials , and hold himself in readmess to attend his engagements with the county . " This invitation . Mr . Dickenson complied with . A resolution was tl ^ n passed ^ " That their representative to the Counts Council be instructed to bring the matter before the , delegates , and get them t » pass similar resolutions , and make them known through tbe Northern Star , as that might tend to nad&the injury which Mr . Dlckeasou euffiwed by false » porta getting into circulation ; and that Mr . Dixon , as secretary to tbe County Gtuncil , Ia ; the whole matis * before the delegates . " M » . Dickenson was then engaged to deliver two lectuwa in the Carpenters' Hail , oa Sunday next .
