STOuKTO ^ . —At the usual weekly meeting of the Chartists of Stockion , on Wednesday evening week , Mr . Davieon stated thai he had a resolution to propose , which he doubted not would meet with the entire approval of all present , namely : — "That the Chartists of Stockton Bend % delegate to York , on the liberation of Mr . O'Connor , to giro him a haarty welcome from the felon ' s cell ; and to con-Yinee him that the people of Stockton hare not forgotten his services—that they are grateful , and give him their most sincere thanks . " Air . Davison accompanied hi 3 resolution with a number of excellent remarks , in high praise of Mr . O'Connor . The resolution w * b seconded by Mr . JF . Shields , and carried unanimously .

SOUTH LANCASHIRE . —Delegate Meeting . —The above meeting was held in tbe Chartist-room , Brown-street , Manchester , on Sunday afternoon last
I > tflegates present—Mr . Thomas Davies , Tib street , Manchester ; Mr . John Cartledge , Brown-street , East Manchester ; Mr . Samael Pemberton , Hard man-street , Manchester ; Mi . William Yarwood , Hulme and Ci . oriton-upon-Medlock ; ilr . T . F . Craig , Salferd ; Mr . Richard Haslem , Oldham ; Mr . David Ogden , Failsworth ; ilr . Jon « Schofleld , Openshaw and Drorlsden ; Mr . T . S . Exersley , rnswortb ; Mr . Robert Johnson , MititUeton ; Mr . JsmeB Taylor , Jan ., Rochdde ; Mr . George Cookson , WarringVon ; Mr . William B . ix-ndale , Saaw ; Mr . John Dickinson , Pilkington and Preitwich ; Mr . James Lee « a , Mottram . Mr . T . F . Craig was called to the chair . Every delegate gave an tDCuuraging account of tbe progress of tbe cause in Li 3 locality . We rejoice to say that thousands who once looted upon tbe principles with indifference ,
suap ' cion , and contempt , are now become thtir adherents , and their most active and zsalous supporters . The financial kffairs were examined , and found correct , and otter business , for -which tfce meeting was called , was gone through in the best of spirit . After which the following resolutions were pass = d , without two opinions being expressed upon them , and ¦ wi thout one dissentient : — " Taat this meeting views with feelings of extreme resrret the attempt made by Messrs . LeveU , Collins , O'Neil , and Co ., to commence another mode of organisation . Firstly , because the plan already in operation has cost the nation a serious amount of money , besides anxiety and perseverance on the part of the people ' s delegates , and is working successfully , and has done more in tbe short time to unite the people , and bring them to a general understanding with each
other , than any one ever brought before the Radical public Secondly , because the commencing of another movement , eTen for the same object , would be calculated to confuse , and perhaps divide the people ; arid consequently give our enemies , who are ever on the alert , a chance to make inroads into qar ranks . Thirdly , because those men who attached their names to the original document , a eopy of which appeared in the Northern Star , ought , if we may judge from their pretenjons , to have done all in their power to carry ont tbe present plan instead of impeding its progress by standing aloof—getting up a fresh one contrary to the m- 'j jrity , or throwing any obstacle in the way , by endeavouring , as far as their influence , precept , and example go , to persuade the people that tbe plan is illegiL Fourthly , because O'Xeil ,-Collins , Lovett , and
others , were invited to assist in remodelling the old plan at the late national delegate meeting , in on ' er to mate it strictiy legal , but Dever attended . Fifthly , because they have been solicited to join the association , and they refused to do so , or show its illegality . Sixthly , because we consider the cause too sacred to allow it to be trifltxi with by any shuffling , equivocating , and half clap-trap , -whether pitronistd by Pan , or any other humbug , who acts from seVf-interest , ambition , or want of principle . We , therefore , pledge ourselves no ; to countenance , but rather oppose any plan while the present works so remarkably well ; nor any one , bat which is agreed to by the people ' s delegates , and not by a few individuals , wb » ever they may be . We hope , if they respect their own character and the cause of liberty , they will give up the attempt , and
join heart and hand in tbe present Association until the People ' s Charter becomes the law of the land . After this solicitation , if they persist , we shall feel it our painful duty in denounce them as men insincere to the cause they have espoused , and unworthy of confidence ; and that the Editor of the Northern Star be requested to insert this in the next publication . " 2 nd . ' Tbat this meetiDg tender Mr . James Leech , missionary , a vote of thanks for his past conduct , and they have tbe greatest confidence in him for the future , and that be be requested to proceed with his labours foT another month , " 3 rd . " A vote of thanks was gi-ren to Mr . James Cartledge , secretary , for the
excellent manner in which be has always kept the accounts . " 4 th . " A vote of thanks was given to the chairman , for bis able and impartial conduct , and that the meeting Btand adjourned till that day month . " We are reqaasted to inform the Chartists of South Lancashire , that business of the greatest importance will be brought fortrard at the next meeting , and it is hoped that a delegate will be present to represent each town or village where there is an association . . If they do not thinfe it prudent to send a delegate so many miles , th-y are at liberty to appeint any friend in whom they eaa place confidence , who resides in Manchester . But they must send proper credentials to satisfy the Council .
BRIGHTON—Meeting . —The quarterly meeting of this Association was held at the Cap ot Liberty , Poriland-street , on Wednesday evening , April 14 th , 1841 , lir . William Woodward in the chair , when tbe report of the C juncil , an able and well-drawn up document , was read ; and , on the proposition o * Mr- Sandy , seconded by Mr . Lewis , was unanimously agreed to , and ordered to be entertd on tbe minutes . The balance beet was then submitted , showing a balance in the bands of tbe treasurer of £ ' 2 5 3 . lid ., which ww allowed and passed . The O'Brien and Victim ' s Fund BaliTiee Sheets -were also placed before the meeting , in each of which there w&s a balance in favour of each fund ; of the O'Brien Fund , 18 s . Id ., and of tbe Victim Fund , 10 a . Hid . These were also allowed , and passed . Each balance sheet was duly signed by auditors , especially appointed . After a Tote of thaniB to the chairman , kc , the meeting was disso : Ted , the mem >> ers being biehly gratified at the state of the society , and its respective funds .
The address of Messrs . Collins and Co . having been s » nt to Brighton , and signed by Messrs . Woodward and Sandy , and hiving Teason to believe that gome of our friends may think that it has been signed on brhalf of the Brighton Chartists , we-take this opportunity of infurming them that -we do not know o £ one Chartist who dofs not highly disappprove of such eomluet , and are determined not on ' y strictly to adhere to the National Charter Association and their plan , butto resist to the utmost every otherprojectthat maybe started by whatever party-feeling ; as we are sorry and indignant at the conduct of men who can lend tbemselres to do the work of ^ oar most Inveterate enemies , by adopting a course " that must ineviUfcly C&US-3 disunion in onr ranks . Our reason for eending this is , our weekly meeting is not held till Wednesday evening , when the subject will be discus 3 ed , bat will be too l » te in the week for insertion in your present Star , and being anxious to remoTe any impression that it
has been signed on oar behalf or by our sanction . We , therefore , assore oar brethren that tbe Chartists of this town , generally , will remain firm as a rock both to the present plan , and also to the glorious principles contained in tbe Charter . Our motto is—Universal Suffrage and No Surrender , but at speedily as passible . We do not approve of the everlasting cant about the ignorance and immorality of the working men , and depriving them of their just right * upon that plea . If tht * e men desire to see ignorance and Tice at every description in all its naked deformity , let them visit tfaij town , attend the theatre , the gambling houses , tbe tsvenu and brothels , and the circles of the aristocracy and middle-class electors , and then , after Baking all dae allovaaee tar the working mas , groaning under the hellish system of oppression , aad driven by poverty to crime , whether or not tbe edacated ebusei ( so termed ) d « not by far exceed them is rice of very description .

MANCHESTER . —On Sunday evening last , the Rev . W . N . Jackson delivered a very impressive sermon on the conduct of the clergy and the influence they possess over the people in general . During bis discourse he was very heavy on the zigssag policy o » Messrs . Lovett , Collins , and Co ., exhorting the people to stand by the present plan , to work it In unity and love , aad it would aot be in the power of tbe base and . sordid middle class to prevent the Charter f row becoming the law of tbe Und ; at th » same time shewing th * t it was the power possessed by the middle «* a « exerted upon tbe Government , the clergy , and tbe arm j , that kes > t tbe people in bondage . A oollectioe was made for the wives aad families of the imprisoned Chartists .
BRADFORD . —( Wilts . )—Oh Satardfcy , the 17 th , Mr . Charles Bolwell , tbe Cbartwt lecturer for tbe eonnty of Wf tts , gave a feetare in White Hill Chapel , t > n the principles of the People's Charter ; the lecture was not so well attended as was expected , through the notice n » t t » ing generally « ndersteod- The lecturer bandied tbe subject in a masterly manner , which gave general satisfaction . After brief addresses from Messrs . Niblett and Carrier , the meeting broke up . LONDON . —( Westminster . )—At a meeting of tbe ChartUt * , held at the Charter Coffee House , Struttoa Ground , on the 18 th inst , a spirited discussion took place on Messrs . Lovett and Co . ' t plan of organisation ; at the close of the discussion , it was resolved unanimously that this meeting views with contempt the selfish and destructive plan of Messrs . Lovett and others , to cause a division amongst tbe friends and supporters of tbe Charter ; it is unjustifiable and unnecessary , therefore , we disapprove and condemn tbe whole proceedings , and will do all we can to support and make permanent tbe present organisation of the people .
S 7 APLSFORD , near Isotiingham . —At a meeting of the members of thiB Association , hrfd on Monday night , it was unanimously rvsolved , that as we consist principally of young unmarried men , no measure short of the People ' s Charter would be of any benefit to us ; we therefore pledge ourselves to stand by the Manchester Executive . We will have no humbug ; therefore wo enter our protest against John Collins , or any other person not enrolled in the National Charter Association , being sent to the Convention . We are not to be gulled by the long catalogue of humbugs—the mouse-trap smells too strong of D * n !— " the rint , boys , the rint !"—but we want no humbugs—let the " cock-tails" go .
BRADFORD . —The Chartists of Bradford met on Sunday evening , at six o ' clock , at the house of Mr . Carrodus , North Tavern , Wapping . After a deputation had been appointed to wait on the anti-Corn Law Committee te demand a discussion , the circular of Messrs . Lovett and Co . was read , and the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the Chartists of Bradford are satisfied with the present' legal organisation 91 tbe National Charter Association of Great Britain , and believes tbe attempt made by Messrs . Lovett , Collins , Hetherington ,
and Co . to commence a counter agitation , will be productive of evil ; and we regret to hear of men who were called and believed to be honest and sincere in their denunciations of oppression and class legislation , now attempting to delude the people who confided in them , by aiding and abetting a system calculated to sever the bonds of political brotherhood now existing in England , Scotland , atid rapidly progressing in Ireland , and are determined to discountenance any such attempt , and hold in utter contempt such degenerate tools ef middleclass oppressors . "
BIRMINGHAM . —Hcbbah for the Movement . —The National Charter Association is making rapid progress in this town . There has been hard work for the last month ; but determination and p »* rseverance bare overcome all obstacles . The room in Freeman-street is crowded every meeting night , and the real staff of former Kadical . Unions , both male and female , are rallying round the standard of liberty with ztal and enthusiasm . Mr . Martin ' s addresses have produced a lasting effect in this town , and there is now little doubt that Birmingham , which was selected by the Rational , Teetotal , Educational , Household Chartists , as their bead quarters , has Blipped through their fingers ; they will be constrained to seek a fresh shop . Hurrah for the brave " fustian jackets !"
LEC 1 UB . E . —On Sunday evening , a lecture was delivered by Mr . Win . Martin , previous to hia departure to Coventry , where be had been invited for a week . He went at great length into the causes which produced the misery now existing in society , and afterwards adverted to the secret move , for the exposure of which be considered the Editor of the Slar entitled to tbe thanks of every Chartist in the country . He thf n proceeded to show tbat Christian Chartism was not the best method for uniting men of various creeds and denominations , although he admitted the right of all men to bold whatever religious belief they thought best . He was pleased to see so many of his countrymen attending their meetings ; for although Mr .
O'Connell and his minions might denounce the Chartists of England as enemies to Ireland , be could tell them from his own experience , that Ireland had not better friends than the English Chartists ; it sheuld not be said tbat because they weuld not support O'Connell ' s humbug , that they were opposed to the liberties of Ireland . He hoped that every Irishman residing in this country would unite with their fellow sufferers , and struggle for the emancipation of both countries . After some able remarks from Mr . Williamson and others , tbe meeting separated well pleased with tbe worthy lecturer ' s animated and clever address . Mr . Martin ' s humorous style of speaking has made him a decided laToxtrite in B ' lrminKbam .
Cuabtist Meeting at Freemas-Street . —Tbe usual weekly meeting of the members of the National Charter Association and others , took place on Monday evening last The room was crowded to excess ; upwards of 100 females were present , and the greatest harmony and good feeling prevailed . Mr . Thomas Goodacre was called to the chair , and after a brief address introduced Mr . Wm . Dean Taylor . Mr . Taylor said he came there that evening prepared to prove that the working classes of this country were slaves , it should therefore be Jlis task to shew the cause of that slavery . Their slavery arose solelyfrom class legislation . Some stated that tbe miseries of the people sprung from their immorality and irreligion , some from the wont of education , and others from the existence of the Cora Laws ; but he maintained that class legislation and that only was the
cause ; every man present was a slave , and every wife , daughter , and son , were slaves also in reality . He said they needed not to visit the nations on the continent to witness human wretchedness . 7 io , it was before them in every street both by day and by night , want and misery stalked forth in the sa called Christian Birmingham . If Ihe truth was declartd it might be written on the gable end of every building , on the front of every professed temple of truth , over tha doors of the courts of injustice , universal suffering and Egyptian slavery caused by class legislation . He then pointed out in a clear argumentative style the origin of poverty in this . country . The clergy preached that God made it , others said it came from the devil , but for the bentfit of religious professora they would endeavour to ascertain how
it came , who made it , and henceforth father tbe blame upon the right parties . He then enquired if God created distinct castes or degrees of rank?—whether all men vrere not equal ia creation ?—and whether plenty was not bountifully provided for all by ths Author of Xature ? Mr . Taylor then adverted to the New Poor Law Amendment Act , and showed up its monstrous injustice , and conemded his address by showing the necessity of Union and organisation , and exhorttd all men and women who had not previously done so , to enroll their names in the National Charter Association . —Mr . Edwards then rose for the purpose of moving a reselution . He said that the circumstances connected with it were so wellkaewn that he need make no comment on it , but allow the resolution to speak for itself . It was as follows :
" That the Chartists sf Birmingham , in public meeting assembled , do look with sorrow and disgust upon the attempttd secret movement of Messrs . Lovett , Collins , Vincent , ONeil , Hetherington , Cleave , and Co . ; and view it as a base , cunning , and traitorous attempt to barter the liberties of tbe millions for a century to come , by fawning upon , bowing to , and courting the middle classes , who have ever proved themselves our greatest and most inveterate foes , who already possess tbe franchise , and by its means trample the toiling slaves to death ; and further , we ean never recognise any man , or number of men , ( bowever dear they may hava been to us in time past , ) no matter whetner tbty call themselves Chartistt , Christian Chartists , or teetotal Chartists , unless they now prove their determination to push on the
grand national agitatioa , by joining the National Charter Association—and we also declare , that we ntsver can , or will , place confidence in those men who take the arch-traitor Ban O'Connell for their director . We therefore send this , as our firm and solemn protest to the Chartists of Great Britain and Ireland . " Mr . W . D . Taylor seconded the motion , and made some pointed remarks . Mr . Jehn Williamson supported it Mr . T . P . Green was glad to find that somebody had taken this matter up , as he had intended to propose a similar reBolatjoa . He heartily coincided in it Although ao maa worked hmler than he did to support Mr . Collins whikrt in prison , yet their conduct was so glaring , ttrt there was not the least doubt tbat the parties named ia tbe resolution were acting the part of
traitors . He begged to supjwrt the resolution . The Chairman tbeo pat the resolution , which was carried unanimously , with tbe exception of three hands which were held up agaiast it A « ubscription was then entered into for tbe purpose of £ iting np the room , and defraying tbe expeooes of the lecturer of Riwn > n ghiwn ; after which , fifteen persons enrolled their name * as members of tbe National Charter Association . It was announced that meetings were beid every Monday sad Wednesday evening * , at half-past seven , and that a lecture was delivered oa Sunday evenings , at half-past six ; and that reading and discussion would take place very Sunday morning , at ten o ' clock . The sub-Secre tary also gave notice that a balance-sheet of the Association receipts and expenditure would be produced on Monday evening next The meeting then separated .
The Members of the National Charter Association residing in Birmingham intend to remit £ l to Leeds , next week , as tbei-quota of the fund for the support of the delegates in London ; and request , tbat when the ballot is taken , Mr . Martin ' s name shall be placed as their representative . Ten shillings , from Stourbridge , which now lies in the Treasurer ' s hand 3 , will be forwarded at the same time , and for the same purpose .

Arran , the tal anted West Riding Chartist Missionary , delivered a P' jwerful and soul-stirring address to & crowded and e itentive audisnee , in the New Connection Methodist School Boom . At the conclusion of the lecture , the following resolution was moved and seconded by two | members of the National Charter Association , and carried unanimously : — " That this meeting , feeling that union among the masses is of all things most necessary to secure the political emancipation and the social regeneration of our unhappy country , strongly deprecates the new and secret movement of Messrs .
