Lovett , Collins , Cleave , Vincent , He ? herington , & . Co ., who formerly stood high in the estimation of the people , expressing bis surprise that such men should be bo weak as to allow
themselves to be duped by the Big Beggarman . After several animated speeches , by various speakers , the meeting separated , highly gratified wivh the eveniBg ^ fi proceedings . The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : —1 st . " That we , tba Chartists of Burnley , are determined to persevere in the plan laid down by the Manchester Delegate , " , and would consider ourselves guilty of HIGH TREASON against the glorious cause of FREEDOM , were we to allow ourselves to be duped and betrayed by the Xe » Tail of the Big Beggarman . " 2 nd . "That the best . thanks of this meeting are eminently due , and hereby given , to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., for his straightforward , consistent , and manly advocacy of the rights of the people , and for his able exposure of the tricks of the London political damn-nation society .

HtJIxl .. —The New Move , &c—A public meeting or the National Charter Association was held in tbe Freemason ' s Lodge , Myton-gate , Hull , on Monday evening last , Mr . Lundy in the chair , when the following resolutions were passed unanimously : — Moved by Mr . S . Healey and seconded by Mr . W . Ringham , " As the signatures of Messrs . Burn ? , Wild , Peck , and Thorp , attached to the address circulated by Lovett , Collins , and others rray induce the country to believe that the Chartists of Hull are favourable to tbe new move , we , the Chartists of Hull , in public meeting assembled , declare that the above named Burns and Co . had rendered themselves unpopular with the Chartists of Hull long before the signing of the above mentioned document , and thai
this circumstance , in our opinion , disgraces them still more . " Moved by Mr . Worsdell and seconded by Mr . Padget , ** That we protest most u ^ quivocally against the intended new organization by Lovett and Co ., as we believe it calculated to weaken and scatter the energies of the working classes in their union to deliver themselves -from political Elavery ; and also we give our most cordial thanks to our well-tried friend Feargus O'Connor , and the Editor of tbe Northern Star , for bringing to ligbt the vile plot , the arrangement for which we believe commenced with the Leeds meeting , artfully continued by professed friends , and approved of by that enemy to Chartism and the Devi ' s own child , D * niel O'Connell . "

Lovett , Collins , and Co ., after a very lengthy discussion , and some able remarks upon facts which have only now been brought to light , but have been in obscurity , working their intended mischief amsBgst Judases * nd traitors , a number of letters were read from the ont-township ? , who had . sent delegates , all concurring in the base attempt to sell tbe birth-right of the people for a mess of pottage . The following resolutions were passed unanimously : —1 . "That we new with feelings ofindignaiion , the base , cowardly , and unjustifiable conduct of the unprincipled leader *
of the ' new move , ' in their continued endeavours to heap odium and discredit upon that tried man of principle , and unceasing advocate of the people ' s rights , F . O . ConDor , Efq . " 2 . "That we do place confidence in tbe old and well-tried advocate ol the people , in preference to the * crotchet mongers , ' and that we shall hold any man or set of men as traitors to the cause of universal justice , who atwmpt to divide and mislead the people , whosa strength is union , by the flimsy protest of illegality ; seeing that any measure adopted by or for the suffering million ? for their emancipation is illegal , whenever a corrupt government think proper , in their wisdom , to make it so ,.. either individually or collectively . 3 . " That if the ' new move' was in existence previous
to the present National Association , why did not Messrs . Lovett , Collins , and Co . attend the grrat delegate meeting , held in Manchester , in June , 1840 , when invited , and then and there bring forward their plan of national organization , instead of waiting until the present time , and now endeavour , by such conduct , to sow disunion and division in tbe ranks and amongst the leaders of the people . " That we do hereby protest against the appoiutment-of John Collins to sit in the Political Prisoners and Charter Convention , he cot being a member of the National Charter Association . " 5 . " That we view with feelings of the highest esteem , the selfdenial of Mr . O'Connor in thus calmly bearing tbe base treatment of the would-be ' patriots , ' and that
he is highly deserving of our best thank 3 and continued confidence , which we do hereby tender him as a mark of gratitude and esteem . " A vote of thanks was given to the chairman , and the meeting separated at a- late hour . Tbe time of Eending off the petition is on Monday next .

unanimously— That wo denounce the new move in all its bearings , as an attempt to overturn the present agitation ; we are determined to have nothing to do with that arch-traitor Dan O'Connell , as we consider him an apostate , and that be has always been so to the people of England , as well as Ireland ; we are determined to stand by Feargus O'Connor while he continues to advocate the cause of tbe people , as he has done , whether in prison or out-of prison ; we maintain the present organisation of the people to be the only wise plan for overturning tbe present ariatocraey of this couatry ; and we further state that we are determined to agitate for the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less than the Charter .

The men of Colne are resolved that so long as Feargus O'Connor , and all other men of sterling integrity and honesty of sentiment and principle , will stand by them , they mav rely on their support and
cooperation . On the receipt of Lovett and Co . ' s circular here , we assembled the committee and members of our Association , and made known its purport and contents . The discussion of the merits and supposed designs of the new movement was very brief . A motion was made and passed , without one dissentient voice , that the circular should be forthwith returned , without signature , and at tho same time conveying our disapprobation of the proceedings of this new junta of wiseacres . We warned them of the responsibility of sowing the seeds of disunion aud discord in the Chartist ranks , and pointed them to the situation of the Whig Government , who , by succumbing and endeavouring by
their crooked policy , to conciliate and win over the Tories , their enemies , had brought themselves to the point of destruction . We told them to beware , lest they should be caught in the same trap . We assured the leaders of this dishonourable and mischievous movement , that we were more admirers of sound principle than personal idolatry ; and of honesty more than ambition and self-conceit . Wo hope' this untoward circumstance will be the means of making the Chartist leaders more cautious , zealous , and consistent , and not give the enemies < f the good cause , occasions for rejoicing and exultation at our disunion , and splitting into sections . — Correspondent .

NORTHAMPTON . —At a recent meeting , the Chartists of this town adopted the following resolution : — That this meeting views with sorrow the recent conduct of Lovett , Collins , and Co ., and at the same time we pledge ourselves to stand by the National Charter Association , and denounce any man , or body of men , attempting to mislead the people from obtaining the People ' s Charter . " IEEDS . —The cause of Chartism in Leeds is progressing more than ever . Every meeting of the Association witnesses fresh converts to its ranks . A spirit of zsal seems to be spreading amongst its members ; they begin to see that new is the time to make converts to their principles , for circumstances are effecting what reason has long since thought was doubtful . Poverty and
want are two great weapons in compelling men to think , and after that to act Men have begun to act . What is tbe cause of tbe present distress 1 Everywhere there appears to be a spirit of enquiry . The Council . in order to meet tbe signs of the times , have drawn up a plan for Lectures and Addresses , similar to the one they have in Manchester . Meetings in future will be held in rotation , weekly , at Upper Wortley , Lower Wortley , Armley , Hunslet , Woodhouse , and West Ward , when three friends , in rotation , from a list of fourteen , will attend and deliver addresses . The Room in Cheapside is to be opened every Mouday night , when other three friends will address the meeting . The Council having adopted this plan , rely upon the membora for its success , by making it their concern to attend
and to induce others who are not members to attend likewise . The Council will persevere to the utmost in endeavouring to work out the plan with success . Lot the members generally follow the example , and then Leeds will be what it ought to be , the strong-hold of Charttem . r-fhMMtMag ou Monday night commence ? at eight o ' clock . At the Wee&Iy meeting on Monday night , a discussion took place upon the article in last Saturday ' s . Star , headed < Nottingham Election ; ' n was rather reluctantly taken up , but a many thought it was inconsistent with the principles of Chartism , and that it was the duty of all Chartists , if they found any thing which in their opinion was not in accordance with their principles , to speak out , for they believed that the Editor of the Slur was more liberal than to
take offence because they objected to an article of his writing . The following resolution was unanimously adopted after a warm discussion : — " That this meeting having listened to the reading of the article written by the Editor of the Star , headed ' Nottingham Election , ' considers it to be inconsistent with the principles of the Charter , an A that we consider it to be hurtful to the feelings of the Chartists in general , in the bre thren at Nottingham being called upon to support Mr . Walter , who endeavoured as much as lay in his power to sacrifice the lives of thosa noble patriots of our cause , Frost , Williams , and Jones ; we therefore cannot , as honest and consistent Chartists , countenance the recommendation of the Editor ef tbe Star , but would call upon all Chartists to remain neutral , and vote for neither of the factions . "
WCODHOUSB , Leeds—At a meeting of the Wootlhou 80 Chartists , held lately , it was unanimously agreed : —" That we place implicit confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq , and his colleagues ; ami further , that we never will countenance any man , or set of men , who wish to sow disunion in our ranks , or who have any connection with that arch-traitor , O'Cannell . " DAISY Hltt . —The Chartist cause is going on well here . Mr . Alderson gave a lecture here on the 21 st instant , on the rights of labour , which gave general satisfaction . At the close of tke lecture , & rote of thanks was given . to Mr . Alderson , for his able
exposure of the tyranny of masters over their workmen . On Sunday last , the Chartists met as usual at the Old Cot , when a spirited discussion took place on the merits or demerits of the new league , after which the following resolution was unanimously agreed upon : — " That tbis meeting is of opinion that the men who have signed the circular of Messrs . Lovett , Collins , and Co ., and leagued themselves with that apostate , and betrayer of the factory children , Daniel O'Connell , are traitors to the cause of Cbartistn , and highly merit the censure of every honest Chartist ; and it further pledges itself to abide by the eighty-seven tried leaders , and our disinterested champion , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., and the Northern Star . "
MANCHESTER . —A * Brown-street Chartist Room , on Sunday evening , Mr . James Leech , South Lancashire Chartist Missionary , delivered a lecture . In the cuurse of an able lecture , he expatiated upon the Corn Laws and Currency , in which be refuted the fallacies of the Repealers in a masterly style . He alluded also to the " new move ; " and said he knew a gentleman who resided a short distance from him , who was worth his forty thousand pounds , and who reads the Star as soon as he can get hold of it He had obtained the portraits ol all those who had been b « en given with the Star , and amongst them of course was Mr . John Collins , which hung in the sitting room ; but when he had read Mr . Hill ' s exposure of the private document , he pulled down Collloa's portrait , and out with hia
penknife . He then cut it across and threw it into the fire as a mark of disgust ( Cries of " Served it right" ) A gentleman rose whose name we dare not mention , because of the tyranny of the capitalists , to move the following resolution : — " That this meeting looks upon the Movement put forth by Lovett , Collins , and others , as a treacherous design against the liberties of tbe people of the United Kingdom ; and that we consider it calculated , if persisted in , and that its original intention was , to break up the energies of tbe people and destroy the agitation for tte Charter . That Universal Suffrage is tub birthright of every nation ; therefore this meeting denounce the sephiatry used in Lovttt and Co . ' s circular , and believe that for a paltry bribe the said parties have renounced juBt principles , in
consequence of which they are not fit advisers of honest men . That this meeting wish to convey to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., their entire confidence in the principlesaclvocated by him , and their firm determination to abide by them , believing them bestcalculated to give universal justice to the people . T . bey wish likewise to shew their utter detestation of all political renegades , under what banner soever they may appear . They wish also to tell Mr . O'Connor not to despair , but remember the responses which have been go promptly given at various times throughout the country , viz .: the young patriots , the Leeds meeting , and the new Convention , &c therefore , we are for the old plan , tbe old set , and no other . "
The mover of the resolution said , that when they took into consideration the gigantic efforts and ths immense sacrifices which Mr . O'Connor had made in the cause of democracy , together with the undeviating consistency which he has shown in the advocacy of the people ' s cause , be thought it would be the basest ingratitude on the part of those for whom he had done and suffered so much , to sit tamely down , without declaring to the world , and to his enemies especially , that they place the most implicit confidence in him as a gentleman and a patriot ( Cheers . ) Mr . James Cartledge seconded the motion , in an able and appropriate speech , and the motion was enthusiastically carried .
COBDWATNERS AND TaILORS , MEMBERS OP THE National Charter Association . —After the financial and other business had been gone through , it was unanimously resolved , 1 st , " That the thanks of this meeting are due and hereby given to Mr . Hill , editor of the Northern Star , for his prompt and able exposure of the * Cocktail Gingers , " and their new move . Also to our brother Chartists generally , throughout the country , for resisting tbe temptations held out to them in tbe manner they have dona And further , we pledge ourselves to have no connections with the new move , or any one connected with it , being determined to have the Charter without any humbug . " 2 nd , That we have the greatest confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq , and we pledge ourselves to stick to him like wax ao long as he stands to his colours , of which we have not the least doubt "
SUTTON-IK-ASHFXELD . —At a pnblio meeting of the Chartists of tbis place , especially warned to take into consideration O'Connor ' s letter in the Star of last week , and the New Movement clique , which was numerously attended , the following resolutions were unanimously carried with acclamation : — - «' That we , the Chartists of Button , having learnt with regret that Messrs . Collins , Lovett , and Co . bave concocted a counter plan Of organisation to that already in operation ( which we believe ts working well for the obtaining of the People ' s Charter , ) as laid down by the delegates of the people assembled in Manchester , and which we believe calculated to causes split in the Chartist camp . From all we cm learn , from everything connected with the New Movement , ( and in reference to the Big Beggarman , Dan , especially , ) we are led to conclude that that waa their intention , and that such conduct at
such a time , and in snob , a manner , from such men as Collins and Lovett , lays them open to the strongest suspicion that gold dust has been thrown into their eyes , and blinded them to the best interests of the working millions of this sea-bound dungeon , for their owm selfishness ; and that such conduct Is highly cen-Mrable by every real lover ef liberty . " "That this meetiag fully approving of the plan laid down by the delegates assembled at Manchester , do pledge them-• elvea to use every legal means in their power to put down any movement which is calculated to impede its progress ; and we do furthermore tender onr thanks to Feargus O'Connor , Esq . and the Editor of the Northern Star , tor their unparalleled exertions in the cause of democracy ; and , further , that we do place implicit confidence i * Fe * rgus O'Connor , Esq ai the unflinching advocate aud defender of the working millions « f Great Britain and Ireland .

" "Thatm pledge ourselves not to countenance the new Whig * skinned plan , but to support the present , the old plan of organisation , as we are sure it is calculated to bring nothing short of the Charter—the whole Charter ; and that the concoctors of this scheme are not further worthy of our notice , and that they Ought not to sit in the Convention , or fill any office whatever .

The meeting was addressed by Messrs Dillon , M'Mahon , and Robinson , in terms that plainly showed that Dan ' s effort to suppress and stifle opinion on the subject of tbe Charter , has been a vain and fruitless attempt . Several new members were enrolled * and the following resolution was passed with acclamation : —Moved by Mr . M'Mahon , and seconded by Mr . Robinson , —" That Wardens be appointed in every parish in the city , to collect , and agitato the principles of the Chatter ; that the present Committee be Um first , and that they shall be empowered to nominate sub Wardens to collect , and that such sub-Wardens be entitled to be Council , or Committee-men , wlien they shall tiave got one hundred names .

BRIGHTON . —On Wednesday week , a gen « ral meeting of the Chartists of Brighton was held at tho Cap of Liberty , Mr . Giles in tfie chair . It was agreed — " That the lists of councilmen , as they have appeared in tbe Northern Star , be confirmed by this meeting . " Previous to putting the motion before the chair , Mb Woodward wished to make a few observations . He commenced by eaying , tUat aa he was one who Jj 3 < i attached his signature to the " Lovett and Coltins' Document , " published in the Star , he would trouble them with a few words . This was the first time he had ever appeared before them with taj degree of pain , for he felt he had excited some suspicion against himself on account of his name being attached to the address . On Thursday last , when he had been
appointed for a second time as one of the forthcoming convention , hu had indulged in some strong language to those persons who had blamed him for so doing , because he had the greatest confidence in those persons who had sent the address to him , bathe must confess , that on reading the Star of Saturday last , and perceiving that the worst of traitors , Daniel O'Connell , was mixed up with it , he must own he felt ashamed of his name being attached to the list , and he must confess that the confidence lie had always felt in Mr . Lovett and the others , was considerably shaken . A short time would shew them who were the evil doers ; he Could assure his fellow members he felt vexed and humiliated that he had any thing to do with it ; and if he had lost any portion of
tbe confidence . they had reposed in him , he was qoita willing to resign as a member of the Convention , as s > councilman , or member of the association . He placed hims «] f entirely in their hands , to do as they pleased with him . Mr . Sandy next addressed them . Ho stated that ho was-not satisfied with the Star , nor with the conduct of Mr . Lovett ; when Mr . Woodward brought him the address , he then stated he did not agree with many parts of it ; the same course ought to have been adopted . with respect to this address as was ilone on the introduction among the people of the Charter . He bad written to Mr . Lovett stating his objections , the answer to which he wonld read to th » meeting . [ Mr . Sandy then read the answer he bad received . ] He condemned Mn Lovett for tbe inju » tic »
he considered he had done him , in publishing hia name as agreeing with the address , without his saoctiom . He should wait until the reply ot the other parties , and if not more satitfactory , he should withdraw from all aasociatioBS ; but he would never cease striving to better the condition ot his fellow labourers by all the means in his power . Mr . Allen next rose . He never felt more hurt in his life than when he heard that Messrs . Woodward and Sandy had affixed their signa tures to this " new move" address . He bad bad some private conversation with Mr . Woodward , and he had convinced him that he had done so in error , and ha
was glad to say ttiat his confidence in Mr . Woodward was the same as heretofore . The Chairman said , for his part he felt perfectly satisfied with the explanation given by Mr . Woodward . Several speakers followed in the same course , Mtasrs . J . Page , Flaxman , &c , all perfectly satisfied by Mr . W . 'b explanation . The Chairman then put the resolution , which was crri ^ d unanimously . It was then resolved that the me . tiug be adjourned until Monday evening , at the same 1 ft '< e , for the purpose of adopting strong means to at once pnt aside the " new move , " for which purpose a general summons of tbe Chartists of Brighton was determined on . an'd which has been acted on .
Public Meeting . —A public meeting to petition Parliament for the total abolition of Church Kates was held here on Thursday evening last , April 22 nd , the High Constable in the chair . The meeting was attendtd by " an overwhelming body of Chartists . A resolution condemnatory of Church Rates was proposed by the . anti-church rate party , but previous to putting it , Messrs . Allen and Flowers , in very animated speeches , not only condemned Church Rates , but all other tyrannical impositions . Th « veteran told the meeting some nice tales about the nice pickings of the church party in tbe seizure of chuicb lands , &c , wbiob were formeny in possession of the people , and , if it were so now , neither Church Rates , Tithes , Poor Laws , nor any other iniquitous enactments , would be
required to press on the people . Messrs . Allen and Fluwers concluded soul stirring addresses , urging tbt workies who were present to stand firm to their Charter , and the plunderers would yet be made to disgorgs their ill-gotten wealth . The resolution was tben put and aarried . A . second resolution , to found petitions on , to both Houses of Parliament , was proposed and seconded ; after which Mr . J . Good expressed his satisfaction in seeing such a numerous body of working men present ; he was happy to Bee that an amicable feeling was being manifested bv the working aud middle classes of Brighton . To the middle classes he could but say . he sympathised with them for their Church Kate " martyr , " but he really should like to see the middle classes sympathise , assist , and support
the political martyrs now suffering a lingering and cruel incarceration in the various gaols of England and Wales . Theirs were martyrs for vindicating tbe rights of conscience ; ours were martyrs for vindicating and demanding the anciont rights and liberties of their country . Mr . Good concluded his address by impressing « n the meeting the right of every man to the Suffrage , as embodied in the Charter , and sat down amidst loud applause . Mr . Allen followed , and lashed the middle clashes for their treachery to the workies , and said he was determined never to petition again unless it were for Universal Suffrage , till they were fully represented in their " own House . " It was useless to petition against any one iselated enactment ; get the Charter and they wonld soon swamp the whole
lot ( Loud cheering . ) The motion was then pat and carried unanimously . A resolntion for the formation ot a committee to carry out the foregoing resolutions waa proposed , but previous to putting it , Messrs , Wood * ward and Flowers , whose names had been inserted Is the list , requested that they might be withdrawn , as , being professors of Chartism , they could not think of joining any other movement except the ¦* . * People ' * Chatter . " M r . A . referred to a charge that had been brought against them , which was , that they had at various times been trie tools of the contending factions . Now , they were determined to have the Charter—they had nailed their No Surrender" flag to the mast ; they were determined to stand by it , and ere long , by union and determination , the freedom of their country would be achieved . Mr . Allen concluded a Tery able address , frequently interrupted by the loud plaudits of tbe Chartists . The resolution was then agreed to . It wss
moved and carried unanimously , " That the petition be entrusted to Capt Pechellfor presentation , and that Sir A . Dilrymple ' be requested to support it" Mr . Allen here stated that the chief causa why the Chartists did not oppose the requiaitionists , or move any counter resolntian , was , that tbe High Constable' had given sH a chance to attend by convening tbe meeting in th * evening , when the working classes could attend . His , » nd his brother Chartist ' s object had been achieved , namely , the dissemination of the principles of their Charter . If they had any inclination to bave movsd counter resolution * , with the phalanx ot firm hearts before them , their efforts would have been crowned with a triumphant result , and be trusted that when tbe Chartists wanted that hall , ( to which th « y bad contributed their share , ) the middte classes would throw ne obstacle in their way , but shew thsm the Sams ' , feeling as the CliartUts had shows to them that eveoing Several sddresees were afterward * delivered by Messrs
Sandy , Woodward , Good , Allen , Flowers , && , and the meeting broke up , giving three loud andhMity cheers for the Cfiarter—for Frost , Williams , sad Jones , sad all the political victims , with one these issce .
