THE FIRST BID OF THE AUCTION . Thb next best tiungto the obtaining of & victory fe tbe knowing bow to make a right use of it . The Whip have been taught by this election that they ue powerless as a faction ; that their only hope and pop is in the people . Bat they axe deep dogs . They Well know how to make the best of their defeat ; utd if tbe people be not careful to exact the fall benefit of their advantageous position , they will assuredly be robbed of so much of it as Whig treachery lad finesse can filch from them . Let bo Ban look for generosity or eren honesty from the Whigs ,
They are essentially traders ; imbned with the rery life of bargaining and trickery ; always anxious to regain power , and viable so to do without the people , they will now seek to cheapen , and banter with those against whom they held closed the door of the Market-place aa long as they could . The "finality" doctrine , falling short ftf their own mark , will now be , of course , abandoned , * nd a Suffrage bid will be forthwith a * de for popnlar support . Tbe " Aotwr-hDld gddfl " will again give forth their influence , and tbe Ballot-mongers bellow oat the praises of their
merchandise . Indeed , the game is began already . At Huddersneld , an Association is new forming , having Household Suffrage and the Ballot for its objects ; and there is no doubt that the example will be followed through the whole country , if the people do not put an extinguisher upon the movement in its infancy . And this , we tell them , will be done . We tell them that the time for trimming and cajolery has gone by ; that the people will mocfc every pretension to UberaBtj , Bhort of the full mea-• ore of universal right . The people must do it , or they are traitors to themselves . And we know they
will do it ; their noble stand against the clap-frap cry of cheap bread , raised at so picked a time , gives BS fall eonRdemee . If the oily tongue and lolltrtr heart failed to accomp lish its deceitful purpose , hating all the specious aid of poverty and hunger , we hare so fear of any minor effort being more Eneoessfol . The people have been too often bit to place themselves again within tbe reach of the biters . Their colours are nailed to the mast head—the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing
less than the Charter . The mountain may come to Mohammed as soon as it pleases , for not one inch will Mohammed budge towards tbe mountain . They may writhe and month , and kick , for a time , against the pricks , bat finding the people ' s stern resolution taken and immovable , tier will be fain enough to f ita the fixed priee for a new lease of Downingttreoi , ud again take office as the servants of the peop le—ardent , zealous , and henett , this time , because compelled to be so .

Russell , of XoUingham , 250 Northern Stars , 200 Chartist Circulars , 220 Illnmiaators , about 150 miscellaneous tracU , and 130 Chartist Rnshlights , for the Irish , who cannot see that they are slaves . Axchhuxd Leightos , Hiwokth , has sent -us a reply to an article in ( he Leeds Mercury of the ord mstant , in which , in a report of electioneering proceedings at that place , he is charged teith being " c traitor , a liar , a man of bad principle , and & ( Juiniit Tory agent . These statements , he says , the peop le of Haworth veil know to be false . So do we ; and so does every one who
knoics A rchibald Leighton half us well as we knom him ; and so will every one else thai knows anything at all of the Mercury : the only wonder icould be that truth should appear in its columns at all . The head and front of Mr . leighton ' s offending appears to be , that he refused to be a tool to do the dirty work of the Whigs . He says : 1 hold thai every man has a right to his own princi ples , and , therefore , he has a right to defend them either publicly or privately . It is well knewn to all , and particularly by those who wish to misrepresent me , that I hold Radical princi ples , nor am I either ashamed or afraid to defend « y principles , which are embodied in the Charier , as far as I am tf ability to do so ; and I of

Good Nxws toe Shefpuuv—Mr . O'Connor having received numerous complaints of the noninsertion of correspondence from Sheffield ( which never arrived at the officej and being most anxious to make the Star as beneficial an organ at possible for the whole of the working daSSU , has appointed Mr . George Julian Harney correspondent for Sheffield and surrounding districts . All persons who may have communications for the Star , from Mr . H . ' s district , will , upon his i nstalme nt , transmil the same to him for arrangment . Mr . Harney being , at present , under an engagement , as West Riding Lecturer , respectfully requests that the delegates and managers of hit mission , will
be good enough to call a meeting at as early a time si is perfectl y convenient to themselves , for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not some other person can be subttituled for him during the last month of his lime . Mr . H . feels as he will be still in a part of the West Riding which requires his service * , that a double service at the same esyence to the Riding may be thus performed ; but should the delegates even express a desire for the fulfilment of his entire lime , he will most cheerfully obey . Mr . H . also beg * to say that he Kill become distncl agent for the Star , and toill establish a plan of serving at their own homes those persons who have note to come a great
distance , and at great inconvenience . Mr . H will slUl lecture in his district , and as far as Barnsley , Chesterfield , Rolherham , and so forth ; and will , as far as is consistent with his duty to his office , be ever ready to obey the calls of those who think that his presence may be serviceable to the good cause . As soon as Mr . Harney is settled ; ( and he requests his friends to be on the look out for a suitable residence ^ he will give due notice of his address and arrange ments . Mebthts Ttdtil . —Mr , O'Connor wUl cheerfully accept the invitation of his Wehh friends as soon as possible after his liberation ; but he is resolved that his next tour shall be
one of work—not of mere " usele : * display , " and has , therefore , resolved not to incur the fatigue and heavy expence of travelling , without further remuneration than the grett pleasure of being wearied . He will not accept of an invitation from any ( own or place until the people therein are prepared lo present him with petition sheets , for the Charter , and Restoration of Frost Williams and Jones , signed according to a scale of census to be hereafter laid down . Suppose 10 , 000 for Merthyr Tydvil . Then Mr . O'Connor can relieve each locality of all the
expence of postage and transmission of petitions ; and can have the whole petition arranged for the meeting of Parliament ; where this cannot be accomplished , Mr . O'Connor ' s presence will not be required , as Chartism will not have found itself to be in a sound state ; and his visits would be too short for immediate practical use for the purpose of initiation . The same answer applies to Hyde , and scores of places to which he has been in vited . J . W . C— "O'Connor ' s Release" shall appear in a week er two .
T . C . asks , " / f a person is unable to procure a register of the exact time of his birth , owing to some negligence , either on the part of his parents or the clrrk , at the time he was baptised , —will the testimony of both his parents , accompanied teith a written statement in the family Bible of his and the rest of the children s ages as they came into existence , be sufficient to establish that fact ? " We should think it would . Joskph Rovell . —They do not . The Nottingham Chabtists wish to have the name of some one of the National Charter Association in Newry , Ireland .

STJHDERXiAND . —Lectctrb on Teetotalism . —On Monday evening last , Mr . George Binns delivered an able and eloquent address in the Arcade Room , on { be EHbject of Teetotalism . This lecture was delivered in compliance with a special invitation from the Committee of the Total Abstinence Society , and when it is remembered that this Committee , or a pan of them , refused tbe use of the room for a tea to Messrs . Williams and Binns , on their liberation from prison , the fact of their invitiDg Mr . BinnB now is a strong proof that a more liberal and rational spirit pervades the members of it . It also shews that Chartists and Chartism are differently estimated now . The room was crowded , and the enthusiastic manner in which Mr . Binnsw&s received , the cheers throughout his addresB and at its clOBe , proved that the andience appreciated his services . I t was announced , at the close of Mr . Binas ' s address , that in compliance with a similar invitation , Mi . Williams would deliver an address in the same place , next Monday evening .

The case was defended by Mr . Clay , whose great abilities were unable to shake the evidence of the witness , who swore to having Been the stone thrown by the prisoner break the equare . Although maDy more were brcken , the Magistrates fined him 4 s . Would this have been the case had they proved it against the Ct artists !

BAXUrS&ET . —On Thursday night , or early on Friday morning last , a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs . Young aad Co . which was fortunately got under without much damage having been dona . Prompt assistance was rendered by every one present to stop the ratafee of the fire , and among the most conspicuous m working the engine was the Rev . Mr . Cooke , Catholic priest . SEKILWORTH .-According to notioe . a meeting of rate payers was called on the lOfch of Jane , to take into consideration tbe laying of a rate of 2 £ d . in the pound , the Rer . C . QuartBey in the chair , who stated the reasons for the rate being levied . Among the items was the sum of £ 32 which had been paid by the Churchwardens ; this it
was contended would render the rate illegal , and upon this ground , au amendment was moved to adjourn for six months . The Reverend Chairman not thinking of opposition , was so disconcerted as to be unable to carry oa the meeting ; after a few words from one of hia friends he declared the meeting was over but the rate would be levied . The antirate party issued placards exhorting the rate-payers not to pay an illegal rate . This caus « d another notice to be affixed to the church door , calling aaother meeting for the 24 th June , when the Rev . H . M . Vjlliers , vicar , took the chair . The
churchwardens proposed and seconded that a rate of 2 jd . in the pound be granted . An amendment was proposed for a rate of £ d . in the pound which the Rev . chairman refused to put . This brought fortb another amendment , namely , that the meeting do adjourn to this day twelve months . The Rev . chairman said he would put no motion whic ^ bad for its object the defeat of the rate . Great excitemeat prevailed ; the original motion was then put and lost by a great majority . A poll was demanded and fixed for Friday and Saturday 25 th and 26 th , from eight to four o ' clock each day . and at the close the rate was carried by 3 29 to 129 .
GLASGOW—Testtmojual . —It will be recollected by our readers that we noticed some time ago the laudable and unwearied exertions of Mr . James M'Birnie to induce the civil authorities to institute au investigation into the weights and measures used by the BhopkeepsrB in this district . He was successful ; the weights of almoBt every shopkeeper were found deficient , and of course they were fined according y . Grateful for the benefit he had khns rendered the community , a number of the inhabitants met on
Wednesday evening week , in Scott ' s Coffee House , Mr . Robertson in the chair , when an elegant watch and appendages , value twelve guineas , were pre-Bented to him , by Mr . John M'Nab . The watch bore the following inscription : — " Presented to Mr . James M'Birnie , by the inhabitants of Cowcaddens , as a token of their esteem , for his perseverance in procuring an inspection of weights and measures . " Appropriate and patriotic addresses were delivered , and the evening was spent with that sociality which Bach an occasion was calculated to inspire .
MIDDLETOK .-Suk Trade . —The silk trade is growing very inactive , and there is every sign of a very bad winter for the silk -weavers .

Salpobd Hundred Quartkb Sessions . » -The Ashton Rioters . —The twenty-six men indicted for rioting and destroying houses during the election at Ashtou-uuHer-Lyne , and whose names are , James Broster , Richard Adcroft , John Court , JameB Hallworth , Joseph Carter , William Marsland , Jacob Lockett , John Howard , William Harris , Joseph Bratt , William Shelmerdine . John Royle , James Oaks , Benjamin Roberts , John Briggs , John Clarke , James Price , Job Tankard , John Cookson , Charles
Sutton , Thomas Jeakinson , Richard Joule , John Clare , James Boulton , and John Stockton , were brought up on Saturday ; and Dr . Brown , who appeared on tbe part of the prosecution , stated , that , as this Court bad not the power to inflict thai punishment on the prisoners , if they were found guilty , which the law provided , they would be tried at the assiEes . To this the prisoners made no objection ; and they were then informed by the Chairman , that they would be tried at the ensuing assizeB . They were then removed from the dock .
Inquisitorial Mode of Administbring Injustice . —A superintendent of the police force , named Castle , stationed at Wolverhampton , was brought before two of the Magistrates for that borough , on Tuesday , the 6 th inBtant , upon the charge of attempting to commit a rape upon the body of his servant , a girl of fifteen years of age , named Warner . This very excellent sample of the corps , it seems , by the statement of the StaffordshxTe Examiner , went down stairs early on Sunday morning and finding the girl engaged in cleaning tbe fire-place of afront room , forcibly carried her intoa back room , and took liberties with her person of a nature bo disgusting that we cannot publish the particulars . The nirl , immediately she was released , hastened home to
her parents , who reside in Stafford-street , and made known the occurrence . On Monday morning , the indignant father applied for a warrant to apprehend Castle upon tbe charge , and asserts that he met with sonie reluctance in obtftinfng-rl , and that upon hie requiring it should be placed in a constable ' s hands for execution , he was refused , and told thai the case must be heard in private . This , it appears , was done ; and the superintendent , who rested his defes . ee upon the plea that he had merely bared tbe complainant ' s person in a sort of joke—that she hstd ' used paper for lighting fires which he wanted for aiother purpose , and that he had turned up her clothes to chastise her for it—was fined 40 s . and costs . The complainant , however , positively swere that he had exposed his own person in the liberties he took with her , and that they were of a very different nature to that alleged by Castle . It does Dot
appear that be received the castigation he deserved , or that he has been dismissed from his situation , as he ought to have been , if the facts were as stated by the aggrieved parent . These private hearings or secret examinations savour too much of the inquisitorial tribunals of the Continent ever to become palatable to the people of this country . If justice is really the thing meant , those who are to dispense it ought not to be ashamed of dispensing it in the face of the world . But if the object be to screen the guilty , and disgust every impartial person , then the proceedings of these Wolverhampton Magistrates were eminently adapted to the attainment of it . If this poor girl had been the child of one of these Solons , it is a question if the offence would have been so Bnugly disposed of , or the offender let off with impunity ; for what effect will a nominal fine of 40 s . hare upon him I
Sthangb if True . — At the haunted htrase at Clewer , near Windsor , the other day , an elderly gentleman was floored by a cross-buttock from the phantom-fist of the goblin who tenants that my&terions domicile . Nothing was seen , but very considerable inconvenience was felt , by the venerable gentleman . Outrage at Watehfobd—Eleven PebsonsShot . —On Thursday evening , about nine o ' clock , a crowd of children assembled in the Manor , and were shouting , " Down with tbe Tories , " " Wyse and Barron for ever , " with several exclamations of a like nature , when a monster , named Morgan , who resides in Henry-Btreet , opened his door , and deliberately fired a pistol , loaded with balls or slugs , on the young and
innocent creatares ; he then reloaded and fired again , and then shut his door , and fired a third shot from his window . He succeeded in his deadly purpose . Will it be credited , he wounded eleven defenceless children , three of vrhom are not expected to recover ! Some D 0 J 8 , iadiiinant at this horrid and brutal outrage , assailed the residence of this wretched and blood-stained man , and broke the windows in front of his house , but they were stopped by a few discreet neighbours . Tbe police conducted the prisoner in perfect safety to the Mayor ' s office . The following named wounded persons ( all being under the age of eighteen ) sat at the side bar : —Jobsnna HenDeberry , Alice Foley , Mary Doyle , Alice Keating ; Michael
Kelly , and Martin Magrate . Some of the other persons wounded vrere sent to the Leper Hospital , and others are in so dangerous a situation that they cannot be removed . Among the latter are a son of Mr . Thomas Torpey , a little girl named Mountain , and a boy named Quilty . About half-past ( en the prisoner Morgan was brought forward , when the Mayor read the information of some of the wounded people , charging the prisoner with having filed two pistol shots . The Mayor taid he should commit the prisoner , and would not take bail . Since writing the above , we have heard that the child named Mountain has died of her wounds . Morgan is fully committed . —J bridged from the Waterford Chrtnicle .
Captcbe op a Whale . —A small whale , of the firmer species that frequent the Atlantic , ana usually follow the herrings in their migrations , waB caught at the stake-nets of Mr Scott , near the conflux of the Pow Burn , on the afternoon of Thursday . The person in charge of the netB . an old man of the name of William Graham , whi le standing at the door of his hut , about two o ' clock , then high tide , observed an object of considerable site rolling about the stakes , within a few yards of the shore , and blowing op aireass of water as if from i jet d ' eau . Without any one to a « iBt—for he was alone at the time—the courageous fisherman hastened to the
spot , and , with no other implements than a pocket gully , and a rope which he brought with him , rushed in , middle deep , to the attack . The dorsal fin of the huge animal alone was seen as he approached , the water being more than sufficient to cover its entire body , though somewhat shallower - further out . The fish , in no way entangled with the nets , must hav « been sick , otherwise it might easily have escaped . Graham , however , ran great risk in attempting to capture it . With the utmost caution and activity he succeeded in making an incision in its tail with his knife , and in attaching the rope to it by a running-hitch ; but he had no sooner accomplished thi » than the ponderous animal { gave symptoms of undiminiihed

Tigoar . Throwing itself up in a perpendicular position , it continued for some time to lash the water "bout with its tail in fearful manner , and made several « fforte to regain the deep ; but the " gallant Graham , " belting on &j the rope , contrived to coanteru * it * motions . Aftw a desperate contest , during which he had the addren to inflict numerous wounds aboat the neek and jaw * of his formidable opponent , dyeing the water around wifh'its blood , ths conflict wat observed by two persons in a boat , who happened to be out shooting at a ~ Bhort distance . Rowing to the aid of Graham , the fish , by their united prowess , was at length , and with much difficult ; , drawn high and dry on . the sanda . The
struggle , however was not yet concluded , for it continued to exert itself with such fury that the rope by which tbe captors had it moored to a stake driven into the sand was snapped in two like a piece of Whipcord . The party then fired a bullet into its head , and after the mflction of sundry blows the protracted conflict was brought to a close by the death of the fish about eight o ' clock . As the carcase was allowed to lie on the beach till Saturday afternoon , a number of people from the neighbourhood had an opportunity of gratifying their cariosity by j » sight of it . It measured in length upwards of U feet , in girth between seven and eight feet , and might weigh about a ton and a half . — -Ayr Paper .

ADDRESS OP THE MEN OF MARYtEBONE AND PAWCRAS TO TIIE FRIENDS OF THE CHARTER . Brothers , —We have bad , a 3 you are aware , a long fight with our enemies the Whigs and Tories , and though UBsacceesful , we feel confident that our conduct has met with the approval of all friends . A base and dastardly triek having been played upon the people of the borough of Marylebone , we considered it necessary to vindicate our character by placing Mr . Villiers Sankey in the field . We did do so , and we were beaten , and our strength appears to be small , but why ? through the treachery of those electors who , after promising for aa , voted against us . The election has , of course , involved us to a small extent , and we ask of you , Brothers and Friends , to assist us , so that no burthen will be tarowu on the shoulders of our late respected Candidate .
We are , yours in union , Thomas Wall , Thomas Smith , WM . Beck , John Humphreys , James Kenwood , Robert Marley , H . B . Marley , James Fearn , R . A . Goodfellow . Marylebone . —Present Struggles and want of Confidence . ^ - We have , notwithstanding aU that the Whig press may state to the contrary , and they have lied enormously of late , no confidence whatever in tbe present representatives (?) of this borough . ( Sir
Benj . Hall and Sir Cbas , Napier , two knightly state paupers , who glory in Malthusian Whig principles , and advocate free trade (?)) It is true they have been returned by a large majority ; a majority WhiCH has left those aristocratic Conservatives , Cabbell and Hamilton ( who have spent thousands ; and our own more than ever priaed Sankey in the lurch ; but Btill we have no confidence in them ; they may do very well for , and doubtless serve , those Malthusians well who have elected them , nay , mere , they may possess the confidence of a few frequenters of the pothouses , whose love for fumes and intoxicating beverages so mantle their clear reason , ss to prevent them from judging for themselves ; but they never can , and what k more , never Will , possess the confidence of the enlightened
portion of either Whig , Tory , or Chartist in Marylebone . I have noticed this at several of their election meetings , Napier's especially , ( whose first meeting had well nigh created a riot . ) I have traced it from the saloon to tbe tap-room , aye , even to the hustings , where the " no confidence" expressions were most manifest I have seen Napier , the idol of pot-and-pipe-men , rave like an idiot at the manifest confidence in him . I nave Seen thousands wave him off tbe hustings ^ in Portland Place ) without an hearing ; I have heard their exclamations , their groans , their hootings and hissing ; and I have said to myself , by whom is be esteemed , and by whom considered , " a fit and proper person" to represent bo important a borough as Marylebone ? and common sense replies—merely his pot-house friends and
electors . This want of confidence increases our political struggles in this quarter , ind makes our cause progress rapidly ; as a first step , it indnced our leading friends to bring ont our hitherto retiring , but able and unwearied advocate , Stephen Villlers Sankey , who , though below all the other candidates In point of votes , stands confessedly highest in public estimation , as the attentloM , applause , and shew of hands , proves . Hurrah for YUliers Sankey , the only truly elected representative ef the indnstrioas classes , and the respected even of the Whigs and Tories ! On the evening of his ever-to-ba-remembered nomination , the glorioms 30 th of June , w « had two splendid Chartist election
meetings , in aid of sending him to the poll on the succeeding day ; one at the Working Men ' s Hall , Circus-street , New Road , at eight o'clock , and the other at the Black Horse , Rathbone PJaee , at ten . That in the Hall was crowded to excess , and when the people ' s candidate appeared , the cheers were truly deafening . A resolntion was moved by Mr . Wall , ( Wall , to whom the Chartists are indebted for tbe rise of Chartism , in a united form , in St Pancras ) that though there were several candidates contending for the representation of Maryleboae , Mr . Sankey was the only man that possessed the confidence of the people ; when it was put to the meeting , 9 »» hands ( oat of the 700—

the most the hall can hold ) was held np for it , and on the contrary being taken , then were two / It this not proof that Sankey is elected ? Three tremendous cheers and one cheer more wera then given by the meeting in token of th « ir approbation , amidst which the noble Republican retired . A like ©• mpliment was also paid to the" eaged Uob / ' and our beloved exiles across the water , Frost , Williams , and Jones , God bless them I and that glorious creed the Charter , after which the meeting dispersed , inwardly cursing Napier , fee . and their crew , and declaring that Sankey was the only man that possessed their confidence . Now what will be the result of this decision ? A portion of the electors of this great metropolis ( which contains nearly double the number of inhabitants of Manchester , have placed Hall at the head of the poll ( Napier being second ) , but the
people declare Mr . Sankey to be their representative , duly sleeted , and having their confidence ; and they consider Hall and Napier aa two unbargained for servants without characters , who have usurped places in the people ' s own House , to the exclusion of their ( the people's ) own accredited representative . However , we have got our member ( and a Right Honourable member he is ) , and the electors ( or at least a portion of them ) have got theirs ; oars , who is possessed of the confidence of the thousands , is excluded from oar own House t because his constituents aro lodgers , ( and it is ^ ell known that lodgers are of times more enlightened than those who claim the house , and , in general , pay
the rent and taxes . ' ); theirs , possessed of no real confidence whatever , are admitted , because they are sent in by persons who live in the bottom of ah-o-u-s-e , "free gratis for nothing ; ours is the advocate of the interests of all ; theirs of a class only . Sankey , whom the enthusiasts have rejected ; we will reserve him for ourselves : he is a man of whom we may well be proud , and who , if I mistake not , can be of nearly as much service to the people out of the House as IN it As Tom Attwood once said of himself , he te undoubtedly possessed of great talents , posgeses great influence , and enjoys the confidence of the good and true" of all classes .

BIRMINGHAM . ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE " PLAGUE . " The " Liberals" of Birmingham have made another attempt to gull the natives , and finding- that Douglas , Edmonds , and Co . were completely laid on the shelf , they Bent for Mr . Murray , of Manchester , to prop up their falling fortune . Large bills were posted , announcing two lectures by the above-named individual , on tbe injustice of the bread tax , to take place at the Publicoffice , on Tuesday and Wednesday evening , at eight o ' clock . At half-past seven , on Tuesday evening , the Publicoffice was crowded to suffocation , and the various rooms adjoining completely filled .
Mr . Murray attempted to commence his lecture , but was interrupted with cries of " adjourn , " " we ' re nearly stifled , " " Stepbenson-square , " "Oxford-road , " fee . At length It was moved and seconded that Mr . Benjamin Hill , a straightforward Chartist , should take the chdir . This was carried unanimously amid loud cueets . Mr . Murray demurred . He said he had not been used to such scenes as that which he then witnessed . ( Shouts of "Perhaps not ; we ' re wide awake here . We'll have none of your Manchester doings here , " Sec . ) Finding it was no use to object to the apppointment of a chairman , be then stated his wish that the meeting should be adjourned . A show of hands was taken on the subject , when it was decided that the business should proceed . Mr . Hill then addressed the meeting , and declared his determination to procure a fair hearing for all parties who thought . proper to address them .
Mr . Murray endeavoured to procure a hearing , but such was the crowded state of the place that it was nine o'clock before the Chairman ( who exerted himself with all his might ) could procure him a hearing . He at length proceeded with the usual statements of the anti-Corn Law advocates , interrupted with shouts of " When we get the Charter we'll repeal all bad laws , " " We have heard all you said a hundred times over . " Mr . Murray declared himself no Whig . Re was no bit-by-blt reformer . He was for the people getting their rights , but he would take what he could get . After a drawling and ineffective address , the lecturer concluded by informing the meeting that as he would have other opportunities of addressing them he should conclude and reserve to himself the right ot answering any person that thought proper to oppose his views .
The Chairman requested the meeting to keep order , so that an arrangement should be made as to the time that each speaker should be allowed to occupy . He thought that as it was rather late ten minutes would be sufficient He then put it to the meeting . It was unanimously agreed to . Mr . John Collins then addressed them . He said that one of the statements put forth by the lecturer seemed to him rather strange . He had told them that he was no bit by bit reformer , anrt yet he was an advocate for & bit As to the question of the Corn Laws , he agreed with the lecturer that they were unjuat ; in fact , tbe people had found that out twenty-five years since ; and bad been letting the country hear of it time after time . But the parties who were now crying out for their rep # al never said a word about them until they began to suffer themselves . The working classes had
been so used to suffering , that their skins were now miiottng thick , and he , for oae , would allow the manufacturers to have a taste of what the working classes bad pferieuaJy Buffered . He would not help , them unless they consented to help the people to get the Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) It was well known that the manufacturers had the power of applying all the benefits that might arise from a repeal of the Corn Laws to their advantage . He therefore would not trouble himself about the C « rn Law question , until they gave him a guarantee in the shape of a vote , which would insure him a share of the benefits to be derived from a repeal of the Corn Laws . There were also other bad laws that ought to be repealed , and if they were to agitate first for the repeal of the Corn Laws , and afterwards for a repeal of the New Poor Law , and E « on , he thought that looked like bit by bit reform ; he therefore could not join it
At the conclusion of Mr . Collins' address , the meeting commenced a general shout of ' White , White . " Mr . White , who stood in the prisoner's dock , stated that he could not gain access to the platform . He was immediately lifted over the iron spikes , and landed comfortably on the magistrate's table , amid loud and repeated cheers . He said that tbe lecture of Mr . Murray was made up of the usual statements put forward by the advocates of Corn Law repeal , in fact , such was the flimsiness of the argument used by Mr . Murray , that a few minutes would suffice to overthrow them . But why trouble themselves with again going into the question ? Had they not held a meeting in the Town Hall a short time previous , and held a discussion for six hours and a half with some of the
cleverest men In the country , before twelve thousand people , who , after patiently listening to both sides of the question , had voted the corn , sugar , and timber question to be an insult to the suffering millions ? He maintained that not only was the paltry measure an insult , bnt the bare fact of calling a meeting of working men , in order to appeal to their reason and judgment , and afterwards refusing them a vote , on the ground of ignorance , was a most outrageous insult to the working classes , and as such ought to be resented . But what after all did the advocates of Corn Law repeal propose to do for the working classes ? They say they want to increase trade , and also to give the people cheap bread . Now his friend Murray would admit tbat the trade of this country had increased
more than ton-fold within the last fifty years , and he would ask the meeting whether they were ten times bettor off ? ( " No , no , worse" ) Well , then , if an increase of trade had made the people worse off , what could be thought of the anti-Corn Law doctrine 1 The anti-Corn law men told them tbat they could not compete with foreigners ; bnt he maintained that the people of this country were not competing with them , but with some of the cleverest English mechanics , who had left this country on account of the oppression under whieh they laboured . This fact had been admitted by the lecturer . Even admitting all the statements of the Corn Lav repealers to be true , he would aBk them whether it was just or reasonable that the mechanic in England should be
compelled to work for the whole world , that he might be en&bled to procure thft mere necessaries of life tor himself and family ? Had Providence placed Bome par * ticular curse on the labourers of England , that they should be compelled to waste their lives in the stink and smoke of factories for thirteen « r fourteen hours a day , in order to keep themselves alive , whilst foreigners were enjoying the sunshine ? ( " No , no , " and cheers . ) For his part , he wanted to see men well fed and clothed , without enduring so muth misery ; and if foreigners wanted manufactured goods , let them work for themselves . He maintained that the boasted Commercial system of this country was a mass of fraud and reckless gambling , and that from it proceeded all the miseries and heart-burnings that afBisted society . He was for doing away with the whole system , instead of
increasing its evils , which was the avowed object of the Corn Law repealers . He did not believe that working men were brought into this world to be the mere machines of other men—to create for them immense fortunes , whilst they who produced all Were ia the lowest depths of misery . He felt that he was a man , and would never be content with less than fall and complete justice . ( Loud cheers . ) The lecturer bad admitted that the principles V tbe People ' s Chatter were just and true ; the pern « f England had fo « nd that no man eould controvsrt those principles . He therefore called on them aever to « ease their endeavours to obtain their establishment , and they could then repeal the Cora Laws , and all other laws that Interfered with the comforts aad happiness of themselves and families . Mr . White retired amid repeated
cheers . Mr . Murray said a few words l » reply . He had not b « ard either Mr . White or Mr . Collins object to his views bb to tbe evils of the Corn Laws , and should not interfere in their political opinions , although he was for getting what he could . The Chairman gave notice that the meeting was adjourned to the following evening , when it would be held at Duddeston-row . Threo hearty cheers were then given tor the People ' s Charter , and the same with right good will for Feargua C'Conaor , after which the meeting separated .

THE " JOB CHANCELLOR'S FAREWELL J » The injurious influence which was brought to bear against the Reform party during the late con-j teat in this city , by the appointment of Baron Campbell , we never ceased to lament . We warned the Whigs of what their "job" would bring about ; but they persevered with their eyea open , and now they must only bear the results . Baron Campbell will , however , Bit no more . He took his farewell of the profession on Monday . After giving judgment on some unimportant casea , he stated , as reported : — " That the motions and short causeB being now finished ; the court stood adjourned . He took that opportunity of stating that he found the practice in
Ireland much improved and shortened , particularly by the abolition of the 6 ix clerks , which exampla he considered the courts in England would do we ll to follow—that he still perceived matters in which improvements could be introduced , and that he knew it was the opinion of Lord Cottenbam that the pleadings in equity might be greatly shortened , for that at present the great expence incurred in proportion to the sums recovered was ia many instances tantamount to a denial of justice , and the parties frequently submitted ( and wisely ) to the original injury rather than seek redress by bo expensive a process . This proceeded chiefly from the plaintiff , in Ms bill , telling his story in his own favour , which frequently turned out a thrice-told tale . This might be greatly shortened by the parties merely patties forward
their grievancesand their reasons for seeking redress , which in many cases might be done by petition , and . an order of reference at ; once made thereon . That , in the law reforms which he had already introduced , he had tbe aid of the English bar freely given him ; and in the contemplated changes he how had ia view , he had eyery reason to expect the like aid from the Irish bar ; but he mainly relied upon the co-operation of . that accomplished Jawyer , Sir . Michael O'Logblen , who decided with that happy aptitude for meeting the justice of the case eo desirable in an equitable j udge . That he was quite aware , before he could carry these changes into effect , hfl might be reduced to tbe situation of a private person ; but that was no reason why he should not cor .-tinue his exertions for the public benefit ; and ha felt that he had , while holding this high situation , filled it well . '
Now , Baron Campbell has sat altogether in the Irish Court of Chancery about twenty hours . He retires , and on the death of Lord Manners or Lord Plunket—the one in his 87 th year , and the other upwards of 76—receives £ 4 , 000 a jear pension , which , taking the average of human life , he will enjoy for thirty years . Twenty hours , we believe , contain some 1 , 200 minutes ; and £ 4 , 000 a year for thirty years will give £ 120 , 000—80 that it requires not to be very deeply read in Cocker to arrive at the conclusion that Ihron Campbell will receive , for th « term of his natural life , just One Hundred Pounds for every minute he sat as our Lord Chancellor !—that is , at the rate of £ G , 000 per hour ! And besides this he had a Peerage ! Lucky Baron Campbell , say we I—Dublin Monitor .

NEWCASTLE AND SUNDERLAND ELECTIONS , TO IBB KD 1 TOB . OP THB XOJtTHK&R STAB . Diab Si * , —It appears in the above boroughs tbat J . B . O'Brien , at Newoastle-upon-Tyne . and Mr . Binns , at Sunderland , were placed legally in nomination , and that they were , by the respective returning officers , declared duly elected ; and ( hat neither Mr . W . H . Ord , at Newcastle , or Alderman Thompson , at Sunderland , demanded a poll , and as no resignation was tendered for either O'Brien or Bums , these gentlemen , to all intents and purposes , are the legal M-P . 's for those places , yet the returns are filled up with other names , viz ., Ord and Thompson . Now it being of all things most important to the Chartists as a body , that men like O'Brien and Binns should be in Parliament , I beg leave to ask , through the medium of the Star , what are the necessary
steps to effect that purpose . Is it by so ejection petition ! is a committee of the House of Commons the tribunal that must settle the matter f if so . money will be required , and it being a national question , I beg to suggest the propriety of 4 h « Executive of the National Charter Association ordering a levy of one shilling per head on tha whole of the members , and which I am sure , poor as tha mass of members are , it would be readily responded to for such a purpose . This , backed by a subscription from Scotland , would , in my opinion , be sufficient to effect tha purpose : only , if done , let it be done instantly * Hurrah for O'Brien and Binns ! Hurrah for the Charter ! Faithfully yours , In the good cause . Edmund Staixwood .
