Newtows by Pjskcatelanp . —A publio rnieetin ^ of the Colliers ofthi 3 place , Huntlaw , and Pftinstone , was held on Tuesday last , in the School-house * ilr . Mitchbon in the chair . The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Hammond and Daniells , delegates from the Miner ' s Association of Great Britain and Ireland after which it was unanimously agreed by the meeting that they join the said society , j EDH 05 D 5 TOWW , NEAB MuSSELBtTEGH . —A ! public meeting ^ of the Colliers of this district was held on Wednesday last , in au empty bnUding . Mr . Thos . Dunlop was called to the ehair . who after opening the meeting , introduced Mr . Win . Daniells , who addressed the meeting at great length on the injustice and oppression constantly practiced noon Colliers both in England and Seoiland . This he attributed to their being disunited , and urged them in a strain of vivid eloquence to join their English brethren ,
"bpIjo-were jjw > 3 y straggling to raise themselves from that state of serfdom , to which the tyranny of the coal kings had forced them . He then took , up the laws of the Miner ' s Association , and commented upon them consecutively as he read them to the meeting , and retired , having evidently made a great impression . Mr . Hammond next addressed the meeting , and delivered a 'beaatiftil allegory ; on the various classeB in the nation , and depicted in imthlul colonrs the various tricks resorted to in order to keep working men in slavery . This had a very good effect . A many had come to this meeting filled with prejudice ; bnt these two addresses so far changed ihe appearance of things , that a resolution was put to lie meeting pledging themselves to join the Miner ' s Association , which was carried without one dissentient . One hundred cards were taken out before the meeting broke np . Hurra for union ! the gallant bark sails proudly on .
Edgekead btDaxkeith . —A meeting of the Colliers of this locality -was holden on Thursday lasti in the room of the Paup Inn , "which was filled to the door . . Mr . Peter Brown was called to the chair ; The meeting was addressed at very great length by Mr . Wm . Daniells , on the objects and tows of the Miner's Association , the benefits of union , and the infamous nature of Collier bonds , &c . He waB loudly and repeatedly cheered . Mr . Wm . Hammond followed in a short speech , when a resolution was passed in favour of joining the Collier ' s Association .
Dalkieth . Colliebs' Delegate Melting . —A delegate meeting of the Colliers of Mid-Lothian was holden on Saturday last , Mr . James Burns in the chair , Mr . Wm . Daniells secretary . A largejledger was purchased for the district , and contribution and enrolment books for the nse of the different collieries , and things put in a fair train to conduct the Business of the district in a proper manner . The following resolutions were then passed : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that all men "who may take an active part in this union , and who sh » H jbe injured for so doing by the masters , ou ^ ht in that case to bB stood bv and supported by the men ; but this
shall not extend to any man who shall nse insulting or abusive language to ha employer . " That Mr . David Momt be treasurer , pro . tern . " •» That the next delegate meeting be holden this day week ; and a general mteiivg of the Colliers of Mid and East Lothian on Saturday , August 12 th , but that the different coal works may fix upon any other day , should they see proper , and that Messrs . Daniells and Hammond be requested to attend . " After paying off bills for printing , books , stamps , & . O ., there was left a balance in the treasurer ' s hand of 12 s . The meeting broke np in the highest spirits , wishing prosperity to the cause in which they are engaged .
Mixebs' Delegate Meeting . —The delegates of the Miners' Association of Great Britain , who met at the Three Tuns , Manor Chare , Newcastle-npon-Tyne , on Monday , July 24 tb , met again by adjournment on Tuesday morning , at nine o ' clock . ; Mr . Wakinahaw having taken the chair , the Secretary read the urinates of the previous day ' s proceedings , whicii ware confirmed . The correspondence was then read . It commenced with a letter from Mr Boberts , of Bath , in reply to one sent to him by order of the Society . After the subject of the letter had been maturely considered , it was agreed that a Committee should be empowered to make the neces sary arrangements with Mr . Boberts , and that he be respectfully invited to be present at the next
meeting of delegates . The next letter was from ; Mr . Daniells , of Lasswade , in which he gave a very fiattcxing accoimt of the prospects of the Society in that quarter , notwithstanding the attempts of the masters to excite a spirit of jealousy in the minds of the men , so as to prevent them from joining in union ; yet most of the meetings he had attended lately had pledged themselves to become members forthwith . Another letter was read from the same district of Scotland from Mr . Hammond ; and one from Mr . Bropcy , stating the success he had met irith in expounding the price pies of union amongst
the coal-miners of Cumberland , which was highly gratifying . Letters were likewise read from tbe lecturers sent to Yorkshire , Lancashire , Siaffordshirt , Derbyshire , Jte . &c ., giving glorious accounts of tctir success throughout their different routes ; and each requesting largo quantities of cards' and rale ? , us the men were very ai ; xions to bo fnrnished ^ rixfa sheir cards and copies of the rules . The letter from Staffordshire coniradicted the report circulated throngh the newspapers that the miners in that quarter had struck work . ( Query—M 3 V not this * " Report" be an attempt , on the paTl of the enemy , to excite the miners to a Phematoke Strike ? !
Beware , fellow-slaves , of the snares that are get to enirap 70 a !) Amongst several other letters read , was one from Mr . Embleton , Berwick , stating the schemes which the masters and their tools there resort to . to prevent the men from entering ] the Society . They get meetings of the men , shew them the folly of fonmng a Union ; speak largely upon the evil titectsof union amongst working men ; andlatterly attempt to arouse the worst feelings of the unsuspecting miners against that which is their best interest . Mr . Embleton attended one of those meetings proved the necessity of union amongBt the miners , showed what would be its ultimate effect , and jo far convinced the men of the fallacy of the position taken by the minions" who had congregated them
that they all joined the society before they parted . A delegate proposed a resolution respecting the law fond . After the snbject was discussed , it was agreed that it be held in abeyance , until ifae arrangements were made with a solicitor . A long discussion took place respecting some grievances which the men of the Auckland districts bad to complain of . A resolution" was adopted that thty should clear 33 . for each day they work . The Executire then entered the room with a copy of the letter which they were instructed to send to Mr . Boberts , which was read and adopted . A delegate proposed— " That an opportunity be given to sueh off-handed men and others employed at tbe oifftrent collieries in Northumberland and
Durham , as may be disposed to do so , to join the society , upon paying the usual amount of entrance money ; and that i = uch of them as will not embrace this opportunity on or before the 24 th of August -next , -will not be admitted members without paying ten shillings entrance money each . "—Carried . And it was agreed that one thousand bills , announcing tins resolution , be printed and posted in conspicuous places at each colliery . A delegate proposed that the Executive be instructed to draw up a copy of a bond for the pitmen , to snbscribe for the ensuing year , and that the same be ready to bs submitted to delegates at their nrxt meeting . The meeting then adjourned nntil Wednesday morning , at nine o ' clock .

Great Meeting of Coal MiNEts on Kebsai Moob . —The coal miners of this county held a meeting on Kcrsal Moor on Monday last , July 31 st 1843 j to receive a deputation from the Coal Miner ' s Association of Great Britain . The attendance was very numerous , when we consider the shortness of the notice , and the disorganised state of Lancashire arising from , the League plot of last year . There was also another ! circumstance which prevented many from being present t there are two moors in this district , the one called Keraal Moor and the other Kersley Mpor ; and great numbers went to the latter place , and were disappointed . At twelve o ^ slock , the time j appointed for the meeting , Mr . John Lamase , a veteran coal miner , a man universally beloved by his fellow workmen in the
neighbourhood m "Which he resides , was unanimously called to the ohair . He opened the business of the meeting by a neat and appropriate speech , in which he depicted in glowing colours the awful atate of the miners of this ; district , and warned his fellow workmen against the subtle means that were now being resorted to by a certain party in order to try if they could notjmake the coal miners tools in their hands , to produceanother " outbreak" hi favour of their own petty measures . He trusted that they would watch these { parties ,, and not allow themselves to be cajoled into a premature Btrike , w into any strike at all , until they wero able successfully to combat the mightyipower that waB arouBed against them by the great capital which had been wrung from their labour .
The mee" ing was ; then addressed by Messrs . Swallow , Thompson , and Dayies , agents of the Association , who in a clear and simple manner laid down the plans and objects of the Association . A working miner ; moved the following resolution , —** That in the opinion of the meeting the coal miners of Lancashire are not in receipt of sufSoient wages for their labour to providefor their families the commonest necessaries- of life . " The resolution was seconded in a neat speech by another working miner , and carried unanimously . We omit the names of the "working men for very obvious reasons . Another miner moved the following— " That we , the miners of Lancashire , do immediately join the Miners' Association ; of Great Britain , and call upon our brethren who are not present to unite with us in adopting every legal means to redress our grievances and remove the present burdens which press so heavily upon ns . "
The Chairman put it to the meeting when Ii was carried without a dissentient . Tbe thanks of of the meeting were given to the chairman , who responded in a very humourous manner , in which the policemen , who were present in disguise , came in for their share . The meeting was then dissolved . Meeting oy Delegates . —As soon as the ont-door meeting was over , a meeting of delegates assembled in the large room , Brown-street , Manchester . There were about one hundred delegates present , representing the principal coal works in Lancashire , viz . from Dukinfield ; Asbton-under-Lyne ; Oldhani , Bradford , nearManchesterjBregznent ; Little Lever ; Crompton Field ; LeUanshaw ; Danse ; Lever ; Atkin ; Kawe's Fagg , nearBolton ; Little Bolton ; Tongue Colliery , Little Bolton ; Bents ; Little Lever ; Peel Colliery ; Hilton ; New House , Bolton ; Halsbaw Moor , Little Bolton ; Jenny Colliery ; Ratclltfe Bridge ; Chorley ; Batchffej Lane Ends ; Aspul ; Wigan , & . o . &c .
Mr . D . Thompson was called upon to preside . After the delegates had given in their credentials , the following resolutions were passed : — " That Mr . Wm . Dixon , of Manchester , be the treasurer until the next delegate meeting . " On this motion being carried , Mr . Dixon said that he hoped his friends would see tbe propriety of providing office-bearers out of their own association . He was not connected with the coal-mining business at present ; and he , thereforo , hopes thatthey would chose a man from amongst themselves : at the next delegate meeting . As a miner by trade , he should ever consider it to be his duty to render them every assistance in his power to ameliorate their condition . It was then agreed
*• Thaj a public meeting be held at Pendlebury , on Monday , August 14 , chair to be taken at ten o ' clock in the forenoon ; and , after it a delegate meeting in the large room of the Wheat Sheaf Inn , in Pendte ' bury . " "That Mr .. Swallow go into the Bolton District until the delegate meeting . " " That Mr . Thompson go into the Wigan Distriot as soon as be has concluded his engagements at Dukinfield , &c . " " That Mr . Dixon be authorised to pay Mr . Swallow and Mr . Thompson their wages for the past week , and also up to the next delegate meeting , with power to pay any bills that may be brought againBt the association betwixt now and that time . " ** Taat the resolutions be sent to the Northern Star newspaper for insertion . " Thetha £ ks of the meeting was then given to the chairman , and the meeting separated .

paupera to fall back upon , whom they could compel to work at six shillings per ; week . They would then have , an independent population . The man would sayj" Well , I don't like farming ; but I earn ten shillings a-day at if , if you will give me that , I will work for you . " This was not the object those men had in view , who had jumped from clogs to boots ; from the cellar to the' mansion ; from the mansion to the palace ; and who were now looking out for principalities ; and alt this , too , aohieved under a ^ restricted trade" I Suppose , and it was not improbable , that a manufacturer had realized £ 100 , 000 by the labour of one hundred hands in ten years , he would ; then retire , and leave his poor labourers to starve—( hear ) . Was that a system of justice ! Suppose , like the parson , he only retained 1-lOth , he would then have the lion ' s share— £ 10 , 000 ; and the other £ 90 , 000 would enable those who had earned him his Wealth , also to retire into honourable idleness . The manufacturers
complained , of trade when they did not make the enormous per cehtage they formerly did . If they did not gain so much this year as they did the former year , they asserted theirs to be a " losing trade . " Mr . O'Connor then clearly shewed that the true interest of the shopkeeper was bound up in the prosperity of the working man . It was asserted that the Charter would unsettle everything ; that there would be no security for property . Those who raised that icry meant there would be no security for plunder . They did not want to divide the property of their oppressors ; they only wanted security for their labour . The Marquis of Westminster asserted that he was the worst used man in the Empire , because he had to pay £ 12 , 000 income tax . He did
not wish that meeting any particular harm ; but he heartily wished that every one of them could make the same complaint . That was a specimen of the loyalty of the aristocrats . Take away from the Archbishop of Canterbury his revenue , and his loyalty would fly off in a balloon . Take away from the clergy their tithes ; leave them the churches , beautify them in every way , let them tread upon velvet and be } attended by angels : but if the tithes were gone , away too would go their loyalty . It was the same with the '" Free Traders "—refuse them cheap corn , iand all their loyalty ? evaporated . They talked about" Free Trade , " but they knew no more about it than an Irish pig knows about geometry . Every increase of trade had been followed by a
reduction of wages , and if there was a demand for tea times the amount of goods now manufactured , in ten years time there would be a supply ten times exceeding the demand . He was the real corn law repealer . The League were but half repealers ; they only wanted labour subjected to their control , and to constitute corn aa another medium of exchange . If they had ihe Charter they would repeal the corn laws on the morrow ; for they knew that the Land would supply with food three times the present population . The law of primogeniture now contracted the supply ; the whole land going to the eldest son . Thence arose the necessity for new churches , police commissions , poor law commissions , sittecuree , places , and an Income Tax ,
to support the younger brothers . He was right glad of the Income Tax , and was sorry that it was not 10 per cent . Tho working man hadi to pay in indirect taxation , fifteen shillings out of every pound ;• but no sooner had the middle class got three and half per bent , on ] their surplus wealth , than the country was threatened with revolution . Peel had offered the ironmasters a grant of £ 50 , 000 ; or to get up an Emigration Fund . They wero all a day after the fair ! Government had sent a , Commission into Wales , consisting of a Bow-street officer , to inquire into the grievances of the people . It was like locking up the stable when ihe horse was stolen . If every sectional grievance was redressed , it would be the worse for the working man . If Peel had
given £ 5 Q , Q 0 p to the ironmasterB , who would have had to pay it ^ but the working men 1 If those who were now bidding for their support , were to buy them to-morrow , they would reap no benefit . If Tom Attwood was to get his , £ 1 notes , what would they avail them ! They bad been living in paper houses too Ions ! Every brcezj had shaken them into convulsions , and they wanted no more flimsies . It mattered not who was prime minister ; under the present system he could not do justice to the landlord withoutiinjuring the clergy ; he could not assist the manufacturer without destroying the agriculturist ; he could do neither , unless he went to the source , to the bottoni of the well at oace . It was useless to knock down one fortress ; they must storm the
citadel . They were not advocates of physical force . Th « y diduotiwant , as Baron Rolfe said * " take the Tower with a rusty pistol . " Nothing would give Sir . R . Peel , the landlords , or the League , so much joy as a Chariist outbreak : ! Such an emeute would soon cause them to sink their sectional grievances , and have a pop at the Chartists . They would soon forget all minor differences in the endeavour to destroy the hydra of popular demand . But tho Chartists were too strong in moral strength to destroy themselves by any violent measures . They needed only union and perseverance ; and for all to work as he did . Mr . O'Connor then gave an account of his meetings in Wilts and Somerset , referring to his acoicieul ; and also commented upon the
Marylebono metting as triumphant evidence of their power . The Marylebpne meeting thus proved that his labour had not been iu vain . Eiery exertion had been used to set his countrymen ai . 'a ! ust him , but the attempt was vain . Ho bad Jr . aped coals of fire upon the heads of his enemies , by repaying good for"jevil . Ho knew the day would come when justice would be done him . Through good and evil report " ho had stuck to his country . Was it to be endured that private jealousies should injure their country ?? He was proud of the reception Father ftlathew had met with . The English people did not stop to enquire whether he was au " Irish " Priest , or a- ** Saxon" Parson , but hastened to do him honour . Mr . O'Connor theu ably dwelt on tho
subject of Irish Repeal , and showed that , if " a Parliament" was all they wanted , they-. might have the English ; for { nothing but Irish business was now transacted in it , unless it ww now and then a turnpike or a railroad bill . By-and-bye , ho aupposed , Rebecca would he stepping in for her share . When he was commissioned ten years ago by tho Marylebone Association to go on a tour through the country , he asserted at Stockport ( hat he would sell the people by auction . He asserted the same now ; but no One had bid fairly yet . Peel woald soon be bidding Household Suffrago ; Russell would bid Universal Suffrage , and tbe lot would be knocked down . Peel would say he had bid too ; and the lot would have to be put up again . Peel would then give Annual
Parliaments into the bargain ; Russell would throw in the Ballot ; Peel would give Payment of Members ; Russell no Property Qualification ; Peel would then throw in tho whole Charter , and the lot would be knocked down to him—( great cheering ) . He would sell ? them all tomorrow , neck and crop , at thai price ; but it was scarcely worth his while to sfcll them for £ Qo
he had never allowed ths weakness of a moment to have any influence over him , but had remained firm to ihe Charter , well knowing that if they abandoned orio portion they would soon be compelled to abandon the whole ; and the agitation would become an object for scorn and derision . He was glad they : did not get the Charter at the time of the Reform J 3 ill . They were then not politically educated enough to have fenced it well with the proper details . All nations were rushing forward into one great system of brotherhood . Mind was pushing forwaf a to combine with mind . Steam and cheap postage had done much in producing that result . They could nqw shake hands vfith America , and kiss Franco . 1 he whole political world was on the eve ol' a convulsion . The rambling of the mental
earthquake could be distinctly heard , and he trusted that out of chaos and confusion , peace , and prosperity would arise Mr . O'Connor then alluded to the cruelties inflicted by the manufacturers upon the children and others iu their employ ; shewed the manner in which the press had houndad on the Government against him ; and concluded by informing them that he had entered an action against the Times for libel , which would be tried by a Surrey jury on tho following Monday . He-also urged upon them the necessity of perseverance and Organiaition . A Conference would be soon holden : at BirminghacJ , and ho trusted they would comnienee from that period a new and a successful contest . Id mattered not v / hether they had a Whig or a Tory Government . They had only to be sufficiently powerful seiI the Charter would be granted them .
Mr . O'Connor , during the whole of his address , was loudly cheered ; and at its conclusion a lengthy resolution was moved by Mr . Shaw . and seconded by Dr . Bowkett , thanking him for his paBt services , and pledging the meeting to unite for tho Charter , which was carried by acclamation . Mr . O'Connor briefly repliedi after which Dr . Bowkett addressed the audience on the subject of their power , by cooperation , to secure freehold property , and referred them to a , pamphlet he had written on that subject , which wag published by Mr . Cleave . ; Mr . Sherrard moved , and Dr , Bowkett seconded , a vote of thanks to the Chairman , who made a suitable reply , and ; the meeting dispersed . Many of the middle classes [ were present , and appeared much interested with ! the lecture .

The coachman instantly stopped the horses , and on the guard alighting he discovered that the wheels of the vehicle had actually ignited , in coneequenca of their not having been properly greased before starting , and tho velocity with which the coach was proceeding . The fire , however ! was extinguished , and the damage confined to the wheels . The guard was anxious for the coach to continue its journey on account of the mail bags , &c , but the coachman vary properly said he would not endanger the lives of the passengers by so doingj The mail was , therefore , forwarded by another conveyance , but nearly an hour elapsed before the passengers were enabled

The demand for broad cloths , in particular , has been very brisk , and some extensive sales have been effected iu goods suitable for the Eastern markets Much more is doing in the warehouses , in consequence of tbe visits of numerous buyers . Wool . — The Wool trade is also better , there being considerable more demand for it than has been the case for some time .
Bradford Markets , Thuhsdat , August 3 . — Wool—We have no change to report in this article since our last ; the supply is a full average , and prices about the same . Yarns—The demand for Yarns continues brisk both for export and home consumption . The advance required by the Spinners has been very generally complied with . We believe the Spinners have not been so busy as at present for a long time past , and are principally working to order . Piece—There is no change calling for remark in this branch of the trade , The Manufacturers are generally busy , and the operatives well employed .
M alton Corn Market , July 29 . —Afc this day s market we had but little doing in the trade ; tha weather having set ia i ? et and cold , increased the confidence of the farmers , who woald not submit to any . reduction in price , which caused the millers to keep aloof from making purchases . The prices rangedas follows—Wheat 68 s to 723 . per qr . Barley nominal . Oats lUd to 12 d . per atone . Richmond Corn Market , July 29 . —We had a tolerable supply of Grain in our market to-day , but . there was an advance ou last week's prices .

with ajight tendency to decline in the prices of one or two descriptions particularly adapted to tbe GtOT man market . In the goods market there was a pretty good demand for printing cloth , and a further but slight improvement in the price of good 27-inch 72-reed cJotb , which has been for a long time much depressed , and of which the manufacture has been greatly diminished . For other description of goods the demand was very moderate , and there was no change in prices . —Mane ester Guardian .

To this day ' B market there is a largo arrival of Wheat and Beans , but not much of othep grain . The Millers were not disposed to comply with the prices demanded for Wheat at the early part of the day , but after a reduction of Is . to 2 a . per quarter was submitted to , there was more disposition for business .

FEARGU 5 O'CONNOR , ESQ . IN THE TOWER HAMLETS . Mr . O'Connor lectured on Tuesday evening last , at Hemmingway ' s Saloon , Mile End Road . The charge for admission was 2 d . in the body of the saloon , and 6 d . on the platform . The attendance waB very respectable ,. aud would have been larger bnt for a mistake in the announcement in last week ' s Star , Bermondsey being Biibstiuited for Mile Sad . Sboriiy afttr eight o ' clock , Mr . FRAZtfcB . Was called to iho « hair , and in a brief and humorous address introduced
Mr . O'Coswor , who was received with rapturous applause . He commenced by apologising for the mistake in the Star ,, and for previous disappointments ; and pledged himself to be with them on the ensning Monday , and deliver a discourse upon the textile should that evening give them . The Chair * man nad alluded to persons who were very brave in his absence , and pretended to know more of his movements than he did himself . He had previously been accused of being " a spy in the pay of the Whigs , " and also of being " a tool in the pay of the Tories "; but now he had descended so low in the market as to be " a tool in the hands of a single individual" : he was now , he understood , accused of accepting a bribe of , £ 90 from the Duke of
Buckingham !! He did not doubt but that £ 90 might be a consideration to " a needy adventurer ; " but he knew it would go but a very small way iu seulisg bis political balance-sheet . He noticed this rumour , because the character of a political man was always opto to suspicion ; and he challenged the party who asserted that calumny , and who also asserted that he had proofs to * substaniiate it , to meet him before any public audience ; and he would dely him to shew that he had ever received Id . in any sbape , as " pay" or ** bribe" for politicalfiervice in ** consideration , " from man , woman , or child . ! If tbe principles advocated by his opponents were good , they would stand without being built upon the ruins of his { O ^ pnnor ' s ) fame . He did not assert that Mr . Cobden lived upon
the subscriptions of the \ people ; or that Mr . Bright purchased his election for Durham by bribing the electors with the people ' s money . His principles did noi need such support . He had always asserted that if a man devoted ] his time to the service of tbe people , he deserved to ; be remunerated for it ; and it was hard indeed , that because he spent his own mon ^ y in the service of tbe people , that all the wrath should be poured out on hm : that O'Connor should be the nonn adjective to support principles which would not stand by themselves ! England was on the eve of a great change ; a change which it had become impossible much longer to avert . His object was to render jhat change beneficial to the people , by marshalling publio opinion , and bringing
it to bear on the source of all their grievances . Formerly their political leaders marshalled public opiuion only upon sectional grievances ; aud when they had raised an excitement , directed it upon that grievance which bore ptculiarly upon themselves . The manufacturer endeavoured to marshal ! public opinion against the agriculturist ; the church of Scotland agitators , upon a new road to heaven ; the church of England upon destroying a few Bishops to make room for more Rectors ; in Wales , the sectional grievance was tho erection of toll-bars . Now he endeavoured to prevent agitation for these sectional measures . The people had nothing to do with them ; but they had everything to do with the proper remuneration for labour . Labour was the
source from which all wealth sprung . Their enemies were opposed to the rights of labour ; and by distracting and dividing tbe working men , they bad driven them from the ; cottage to the collar . They were now bidding high for the people ; and if they had not such fiery offers , and so much gasconade , as in the days of Charles Fox or of Attwood , in 1831 , it was because the people now looked for the fulfilment of pledges made . Public opinion was now too sound to ignite with a . single match . If , as was assarted , the present Government was the rtflex of public opinion , then it was the more necessary that public opinion should be marshalled to run in one great stream that all the shoals might be removed and destroyed . They * were told that the people
were not prepared for a change . In . the opinion of these philosophers , whenever the people advanced , then "vvere they the most ignorant . At the time of the Reform Bill , they were " an intelligent people' *; but when they wished to advance further , they suddenly became "degraded" and "ignorant . " Mr . O'Connor then alluded : to Bright ? s election for Durham , which the League boasted was a great reaction in their favour . The Chartists cared but little about the electoral body . If they waited until the electoral body ensured them the Charter , it wculd not be in their lives , nor vet in the lives of their grandchildren . The Boa-electors had formerly a court of
appeal in the Honse of Commons . Their pstitiona constituted this appeal '; but now they had no longer that court . Their petitions of 1 , 500 , 000 , © f 2 , 500 , 00 » , and of 3 , 500 , 000 had been disregarded ; and they looked for substantive ] representation as their only remedy . Mr . O'Connor next dwelt on the question of "Pree Trade , " and showed that the object of that agitation was to enable the manufactures to under * sell the slaves of the wioleworld . Iftbeyreally sought for a principle to benefit the working man , they would locate him upon the Land , and render him independent of the foreigner for his breakfast or his supper . They well knew that if they did that , they would n longer have ft starring , a lounging army of

The friends at Froine are naturally anxious to render the suffering parties some little assistance . It is a tremendous heavy visitation upon the poor unwillingly idle family bf eleven children ! They wish to render all tho relief they can to tho poor sufferers ; and thus soothe , in some measure , the misfortune that has fallen upon them . To effect this they need the aid of their Charti .-t brethren throughout the country . ! They are bat few , and poor , themselves : and , therefore , call for that as sistauce from others theyjwould gladly render themselves had they the means . Mr . Bolwell , of Gallo-way-buildings , Bath , will receive subscriptions , and duly report the same .

THE CONFERENCE . —ORGANIZATION . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAK . Sir , —As the general opinion appears to be » q favour of a Conference , aa the first Btep to re-organ ' Z'ition , it ia necessary that some definite means should ba adopted to enable us to come to a decision , and also to fix the time and place of holding jit , so that preparations may be made , and more undivided attention given to the various plans of Organiz % tion which have been , or may be proposed . 1 do not see how this can be ascertained without the general opinion being expressed ; nor do I see how tbe various opinions we have bad upon ihe subject can be
brought to a conclusion , so as to be acted upon , ¦ without tbe votes of the localities being taken ; to effect this , I suggested in the Star of tht 15 th , ult that all propositions should be sent to the Star , for publication on the 5 th inst . in order that the localities [ might vote upon them ; and to make this as simple and easy as possible , and that . ¦ we may arrive at same jdeflflite conclusion , I have arranged and placed , in a brief form , and classed under different heads , the various propositions which have been made * 1
A 1—That an Executive shall be first elected . f B 1—That a Conference shall be held August 21 st . B 2—That a Conference shall be held August 31-st . B 3—That a Conference shall be held Sept . 5 th . B 4—That a Conference shall be held Sept . 12 th . C 1—That the Conference shall be held in Bit tningaam . | C 2—That the Conference shall be held in London . C 2—That the Conference ! shall be held in Newcastle upon-Tyne . 1 C 4— That the Conference shall be held in Not tineham . [
D 1—That each town throughout the kingdom shall have the power of electing only one delegate , with the following exceptions : |—Birmingham , Liverpool , nnd Edinburgh , two delegates each . Manchester and Glasgow , three each , and London fciut . D 2— That each town , containing less than 50 , 000 inhabitants , shall be allowed to send one delegate ; if containing 50 , 000 , and less than 100 , 000 , two delegates ; and if 100 , 000 and upwards , four delegates , except London , which may send six . Of course ail delegates will be elected at public meetings ia accordance with the usual forms and will havo to produce certificates signed by the Chairman of the meeting .
ixowiftne dilterent localities come to a conclusion , upon one of the propositions in each class , i . e . one of each marked A B and C , and Bend to the Slur office , Aug . 8 , for publication Aug . 12 , w ' e shall see at a glance where attd when the general will ! fixes the Conference ; by this means we should have ] tbe same advantage over the coarse we ha $ hitherto pursued , as "we have by submitting a regular motion j to a meeting , instead of carrying on a desultory conversation without ord * t—and that tbe votes may be arranged without difficulty , I would suggest that the localities when sending to the Star jffloe , abonld merely send the number of the propositions which they vote } for ; J they may then be placed in tbe following form ;—Name of Place . j No . of Proposition . A I Il [ ll' 2 B 3 .

I do not see anyjotber means by which -we can come to a conclusion , nor have any other be <_ r . proposed , and those parties and localities who have expressed an opinion upon it , have agreed tfaat it would be fair and satiflfdctory . J With respect to Organization there are a few subjects which 1 have not yet ! seen alluded to , and to -which it may not be anms tp direct attention , so that they may be considered previous to the Conference being called . j That a general and simultaneous demonstration should be heH once a year . 1 That a general Tract Depository should be established for the purpose of suppljingjlocalities with tracts , and also to supply them for sale ;] the tracts to bo printed under the direction of persons appointed for that purpose , who abould seltct tbe best pamphlets and extracts from political works . I That small prizes should be awarded for short essays upon subjects to be decided upon , in order to insure a supply of tracts upon questions of interest , and to cause attraction . j That as far as possible Sunday Schools should be established in the various localities . I shall not occupy your ] space by remarks upon these , bat leave them to the consideration of cur friends . ; Remaining yours truly , t R . T . Morrison . Nottingham , July 29 , 1843 . ?
