STJTTOM-XN » ASBFIELX > . —On Wetaead&y eventng , according to announcement , a public meeting was held in too market-placs , Button-in-Ashfield , whicb ttm attended by at least 2 , 000 people , for the two-fold purpose of adopting a memorial to the Secretary of State in favoar of Samuel Holberry , and bearing a lecture from Mr . Dean Taylor . Mr . Q . Mee was called to the chair , and introduced Mr . Simmons to the meeting , who , in a short speech , proposed the following memorial : — " To ihe Bight HoncmraUt Sir Javtes Grahaa , principal Secretary of State for ike Home Deportment . " The memorial of the inhabitants of Sntton-in-Ashfield , in the county of Nottingham , agreed to at- * public meeting held on Wednesday , September 15 , 1841 .
" Shetteth , —That Samuel Holberry was convicted o 7 conspiracy and sedition , at the York Spring Assizes , 1840 , and sentenced to four years' imprisonment in the House of Correction , Ifarthalleiton . "Tost daring hi * imprisonment the said Sanmel Holberry has been subjected to the norrld restrictions of the silent system , the effects of which upon his health and constitution are so injurious that his physical power * are being impaired , his legs frequently swell , and his appetite for the prison diet completely fails him ,. " That the said Samuel Holberrj has yet , according to the time of his sentence , two years and a half imprisonment to suffer , under the unnatural and destructive system of prison discipline , which is fast ruining his health .
" That your memorialists belieTe that the Government to which you belong will not suffer a system to exist which is sacrificing the present and future health of prisoners confined for political offences—a system about which there is something so outrageous to common humanity , in the bare supposition of such cruelty , thai your memorialists believe that they hare only to lay th \* ease before the present GoTemment in order to secure for the said Samuel Holberry , if not an abbreviation of his term of imprisonment , at least a relaxation of his prison treatment , or , what we yet more earnestly petition for , a removal of the said Samuel Holberry to some other place of confinement where the horrors of the silent system are not inflicted .
" That your memorialists would beg to remind you that Mr . Jledhurst , convicted of manslaughter , hss been seta . t liberty , lest his health should be impaired , although , while in prison , allowed indulgences to which the said Samuel Holberry is a perfect stranger , and that the latter has already endured a long and painful imprisonment ; that to persevere in inflicting upon bmi the sentence awarded at the York Assizes will be thought , by a great many in all classes of society , to be excessively unjust and partial , and that it will tend to encourage a belief that the rich may do , with impunity , what is inflexibly punished in the poor . " That , having laid these considerations before your honour , your memorialists hspe that you will be pleased to intercede in behalf of the said Samuel Holberry . " Signed on behalf of the meeting . " Gilbert Meb , Chairman , " Sutton-in-Aikfield , " Sep . 15 , 1841 . "
The above was seconded by Mr . Daan Taylor , who , at great length , went on to prove that the Chartist prisoners had not been punished for any crime against morality or religion , but simply because they held different political opinions from the two contending factions of Whig jnd Tory , and that class legislation had the effect of driving many an honest man te the contemplation of thing * , which , by the two factions , are considered to be sedition , conspiracy , and treason ; but were they once to prove successful , would cause the authors to be ranked amongst the bravest and most renowned patriots » f the earth , such as Tell , Washing-Ion , he He then went on to show that nothing short of the People ' s Charter would restore this ill-fated
wrantry to order and prosperity ; and concluded by powerfully impressing upon the minds of his hearers the necessity of enrolling their names as members of the National Charter Ascodation—and sat down loudly applauded . Moved by Mr . J . Simmons , and ascended by Mi . Wm . Blaisdell , " That the editor of the Northern Star be requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting in the people's journal . " Three cheers were then given for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the incarcerated Chartists ; three for F . O'Connor-and the northern Star ; three for the People ' s Charter ; and three for th « people—all at the top note—after which , a subscription was entered into for Samuel Holberry , which still remains open , and which will be forwarded to him in dne time .
BRIGHTON . —The following has been received in answer to the Memorial transmitted to the Home Office , by the Chartists of Brighton , for an amelioration of prison treatment of Samuel Holberry : — " London , Sept . 18 th , 1 S 4 L " Sir , —I have the honour to forward a copy of the letter , I have this day received from the Secretary of State , in answer to the application m&da by myself and Mr . Wigney , in pursuance of your letter of the 27 th ultimo , enclosing a Memorial to the Marquis of Kormanby , relative to the case of Samuel Holberry .. " I am , 8 ir , " Your very obedient Servant , "Geo . R . Pecbell . " Mr . : N . Motling / . Brighton . " " London , Sept ISth , ISO .
Sir , —I beg to inform you , that my colleague , Capt . Pechell and myself , have received a reply from the Home Office , to your Memorial in behalf of Samuel Holberry , and that it will be communicated to you forthwith . " I remain , " Your obedient Servant , " J . Newton Wiobt . " Mr . Nathaniel Morling , Brighton . " .
COPT 0 ? BEPLT TO MEMORIAL . " Whitehall , leth Sept , 1 & 41 . " Gentlemen , —Secretary Sir James Graham having had under consideration the Memorial that accompanied your letter of the 25 th ult . on behalf of Samuel Holberry , a prisoner in Northalierton gaol , I an directed to acquaint you that orders have haye been giTen for the removal of the prisoner to York Castle , there to uniergo Die . remainder of his sentence , and that the surgeon will be requested to pay constant and particular attention to the prisoner ' s health , and to report thereoa _ to Sir James Graham , from time to time . " I am , Gentlemen , " Your most obedient hnmble Servant , " S . M . Phillips . " To Capt Pechell , M . P . " J . >* . Wigney , Esq ., MJ > . "
Thus it will be seen that what the Whig Secretary of State , Lord Nonnanby , refused to do on the petition of poor Holberry , the Tory Secretary of State , Sir James Graham , has complied with on the memorial of the Chartists of Brighton , viz , a removal to some place where the horrors of solitary confinement were Hot so much inflicted . Anether tib . i 1 has been driven in the coffin oi Whiggery , and driTen home and well clinched . Credit is dne to tho men of Brighton ; they took the matter up on the appearance of ths letter of Holberry in the Star of the 14 th nit , and we beliere thai Brighton has been the o > ly town that has sent a memorial . Holberry is removed ; and if he is not better treated than when in the hell of >" orthallerton , we pledge our word that Brighton will memorialize again and again . But we trust that the next removal will be to the bosom of his family and friends .
FIFESHIRE . —The spirit of discord appears to hare reigned rampant here . Com Law R-ptal , fixed dnty deception , ie , have but too well accomplished their purpose for awhile , fey prodncing party strife ,: separation between chief friends , eonfusisn , apathy and i indifference ; but men are tins disclosed , deserters no longer impede ; the trne friends , with greater facility , i urge tLe onward movement Kiscaldt has endured the brunt , a goodlyfew have , borne the test , and emerging frcm the disaster ofi defeat , honourably encounter , and determine to release themselves from burdens which others have abandoned ; I and to be simple , unencumbsred , straightforward Chartists . Notwithstanding a total abstinence meeting in the usual place of assembly , and abstracting numbers who are supporters of both associations , another was procured where a crowded and enthusiastic audience , received the missionary ' s labour with reiterated plaudits till a late hoar , the committee still remaining to devise measures ef progression .
D ¥ N 7 EEMLIXE all but distracted by three-fold personalities and recriminations . Mr . Lowery lately delivered a lecture , giving to all professed satisfaction ; but alas . ' its tendency , unity of sentiment and of effort , B&eirs to have been effectual with none . An address , a lecture , and three sermons were received by tolerable and attentive audiences . The first was deliyered in support of a resolution , submitted to a public meeting , inviting F . O'Connor , Esq ., which was received with general acclamation , but was also met by most unqualified censure , from a party he will be at little loss to recognise , as it dates far back as Calton Hill , criticises the in ten suing space , and threatens to confront at any opportunity . That gentleman ' s declared intention , will doubtless furnish cogitations to heads , accustomed to a Tameing shake and reflection . "Ah ! he trill not come to Bunfezmline > . " Well , we shall see now , at all events '

sound . Malgre the sombre hue around and above , a numerous and delighted congregation reciprocated aod lauded the sentiments of the speaker ; who together with Messrs . Skinner and Blackett ' s abort addrenei engaged attention for some two boors . The truly intereating assembly , ardently hoping O'Connor wiHnot forget Kinross , broke np with loud and long continued cheers for him , their visitor , the charter , and fearlessly expressing opinion whether in the face of day or the shades of night , but conducting themselves , and retiring in peace . Comrades , catch the spirit to carry the Charter .
BOLTON . —This town is about to bestir itself , and take a prominent put in the glorious struggle . A society is formed in Moor Lane ; they have had but two meetings , and they now number fifty-five members . In the youth ' s society there are some very intelligent spirited young men , who bid well to be powerful auxiliaries in the good cause . Upon th « whole w © are in a flourishing condition . A great deal of our success is attributed to Mr . Isaac Barrow , who is ready , on all occasions , to forward our cause . He lectured here on last night ( Sunday ) to a thronged and delighted audience .
ARNOLD—We had yesterday ( Sunday ) oar anniversary for our Sunday School at Arnold . Twa most excellent saraons were had from our worthy lecturer , Mr . Taylor . In the afternoon , he preached from the 46 th Psalm , and 4 th verse— " There is ever the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God , the holy of the tabernacles of the Most High . " And in the evento * , from the 17 th chapter of Luke , 34 th , 35 th , and 36 th verses— " I tell you in that night there shall be two men in one bed , the one shall be taken and the other left Two women shall be grinding together ; the one shall be taken and the ether left Two men shall be in' the field : the ene shall be taken and the other left' What with our Cl artist dialogues and pieces recited by the children , and the two excellent sermons , it has gave a general satisfaction , and will sot be soon forgotten . Our collections amounted to £ 2 6 s .
BURNLEY . —On Tuesday evening , the 14 th inst Mr . Charles Connor lectured in a large room behind the Commercial Inn , to an overflowing and attentive audience . He made a powerful impression in favour of Chartism . On Thursday evening , the 16 th instant , Mr . James Leach , member of the Executive Council , lectured in the same room , on Trades' Unions . Mr . Leach was at home in his usual argumentative style , and he made a thrilling and soul-stirring appeal , which has brought to us Hiany friends . MORiET . —Chabiits Preaching . —Disgraceful CO > D ¥ CT OF LiEDS Teexotallers . —On Sunday last , Mr . Smith , according to an invitation he had received , went to Morley to preach a sermon on practical Christianity , and to attend the Morley
Temperance Festival on the following day . On his arrival , be found that the Temperance folks had determined to give him no countenance , having , as they stated , been warned by certain parties from Leeds not to receive him , as he was not a teetotaller , but a Chartist Mr Smith has been a consistent and able advocate of the principles of total abstinence for more than four yean , as the parties from Leeds well knew . In order to prevent the intended preaching , a temperance meeting was held by Mr . Atkinson and others from Leeds at the hour appointed for divine service , and Mr . Smith gave way , intending to preach in the evening . Mr . Atkinson not oontent with this m&cauvre , stated that the meeting had been resolved on for two months , that they did not know Mr . Smith was intending to preach ,
and that if he did not chose to do so , it was no fault of theirs . To this a person in the crowd replied , that it was a lie ; he heard it stated the day before tb&t Mr . S . was not to be received because he was a Chartist , and one of the Morley Temperance Society let it eut that the meeting was only resolved on that day . Mr . Atkinson said that another meeting would be held in the evening , bat as this discovered the plot beyond dispute , Mr . S . mounted the chair , spite of the efforts of the " liberal" clique to prevent him , and gave them such a lashing as they will not speedily forget . He proved that a plot existed in the Leeds Soeiety to pat down any temperance advocate who held the principles of Chartism , and stated that when he came to settle iu Leeds a person
wsls desired to make inquiries as to his politics , for the information of Mr . J . Andrews , and that Joseph Parker was not allowed to appear upon their platform , because he was a Chartist . Mr . Atkinson and his friend winced severely under the flagellation they had brought upon themselves , and attempted excases , which , like all falsehoods , contradicted each other . It was truly ludicrous to see the pitiful figure they cut . Mr . Smith preached in the evening to a large and most attentive audience , from Acts xxviii . 22 , and was listened to for an hour and a half with breathless attention . Mr . Smith has for ever silenced , in Morley , the ebjectioD , that Chartists are Infidels . He intends to pay them another visit shortly . — Correspondent .
DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Association held one of the most animated meetings ever assembled in this citj , on S « nday last , Mr . W . W » adman in the chair . The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed ; after which Mr . Henry Clark moved that Mr . Patrick Higgins and twenty others , resident in Sligo , be admitted as members . On the motion of tbe Secretary six were admitted from Newry as members ; and several members moved the admission of eight others resident in Dublinmaking a total of thirty-five . Letters from various pans of England , Scotland , and Ireland , were read , which called fonh the approbation of all present , many of whom came evidently to oppose , but who from hearing the sentiments of the letters , were
induced to give notice to be admitted at the next meeting . Mr . C . Dojle delivered a most powerful and convincing address , which had the effect of making several persons , who were not members , say that they certainly should become members ; one man in particular was so convinced of his errors that he came and begged pardon for the opposition he had giyen , and asked leave to be admitted a member , ilr . Doyle was loud ! y cheered throughout his address . Mr . O'Higgins , in a very clear and convincing speech , brought forward tbe motion of which he had giTen notice last Sunday . He said that Mr . Crawford was not only entitled to the thanks , but the gratitude of every real patriot and good man in Ireland , for haviDg divided the House of Commons
upon the motion for laying before the Sovereign 3 true statement of the real causes of the distress and misery of the people , and of the best , the only mode of alleviating it . The Whig Ministry were not just out , but on the eve of it , when this motion was brought forward ; and it is singular to observe how both Whig and Tory joined in their opposition to it . To him , Mr . O'Higgins , it did not appear strange to see the Whigs and Tories join in opposition to any measure which should have for its object the amelioration of the condition of the great body of the people ; but it mnst have astonished many a good man who might have been weak enough to imagine that the Whig 3 ever intended doing any act or thing calculated to promote the interests , the comforts , or
the happiness of her Majesty ' s subjects . There was not _ a place-hunter , placeman , or hanger on of the Whig Administration who did not vote either against Mr . Crawford ' s motion , or leave the House without voting at all ; and out of all the great professing patriots -which Ireland sends to Parliament , there were only two who had the honesty to vote \ rith Mr . Sharman Crawford , and these two are Mr . Powell , member for Limerick County , aad Mr . Roach , member for the County Cork , It is not only the duty but the interest of the Irish people to ask where were the O'Connells and Shiels , and the Shiels and O'Connells , when the House di-vided upon the motion ) Where were those fiery patriots who say to their
dupes—¦ ' Herditary bandsmen know you not , Who would be free themselves must strike the blow ?" Why did they not strike the blow when the opportunity was afforded them ? The Queen said that she deplored the distress of her people , and dees any one doubt but her Majesty would have recommended the Tories , who were just coming iato power to take some measures to relieve the Euffering 3 of the best and most loyal portion of her subjects—the honest hard-working classes ? >" o the Whigs would not allow her Majesty to be made acquainted with the suffering and the privations of her people lest the Tories might have the merit of being in power when seme measure might be recommended from the
Throne for the benefit of the people . Well , both factions joined to prevent the Queen from obtaining any information whatever upon the very subject above all others which it is right she should bo informed of , and which it was the duty or' her advisers to lay fully , fairly , and clearly before her . But , instead of this what did these two factions do ! Why nothing less than deceive their sovereign . Neither the one faction nor the other told their sovereign tbe troth ; but the very reverse . The Whig 3 told her Majesty that the distress , misery , and privations of her people , were entirely and altogether owingto theduty on f 3 reign corn being regulated and ascertained according to a sliding scale , which proved the average duty for the last twenty
years to be 6 s . per quarter , instead of a fixed duty of 8 s . a quarter , which they said would cause bread to become cheap , and enable the British manufacturer to compete with the foreign manufacturer , without reducing wages , which appeared to him ( Mr . O'Higgins ) ta-be rather an odd kind of proposition for statesmen to make , or sensible men to entertain , or attempt to foist npon a nation . On the other hand , the Tories led her Majesty to believe that the distress and misery" of the country were entirely and wholly attributable to a want of confidence in her Majesty ' s Minister ? . Now , while the
two factions between whom the country is plundered , and the people driven to a state of the moat tmparalleled destitution , Mr . Crawford comes forward like an honest maji , and loyal subject , to lay before her _ Majesty the information which she so much desired , it would be unnecessary for him ( Mr . O'Higgins ) in a meeting of Irishmen , to say anything in favour of Mr . Crawford , as a landlord . ( Hear , hear , "He is oneoi the best landlords in Ireland . " ) He lost his Beat for Dondalk because he voted for a total abolition of tithes , and against the Whig rent-charge , which leaves the poor tenant at the mercy of bis landlord , and secures 190 per cent .

to the parsons , thns uniting , by the strongest ttea of self-interest , the parson and the landlord against the poor tenant , woo beare the whole burden of ( he tithe without mitigation or relief . ( Hear , hear , and " That is true . " ) Hi . Crawford brought forward a motion for the repeal of the Irish Coercion Act . The Irish patriots , that is , those who are well paid fox their patriotism , joined all the Tories in the House against Mr . C . 's motion . He hasnow given notice of his Landlord and Tenant Bill , a bill founded in strict equity , and one which Mr . Crawford has carried into practical operation on his own estates . This bill , if carried into law , will do more substantial good to Ireland than any measure that was passed
since the "Union . ( " Hear , hear , the tenants will be paid fer their improvements . " ) It will prevent the landlords from turning out the tenantry without paying them for their improvements . When a tenant improves a barren piece of land now , subdues it , and makes it fruitful—either bydraining . shoreing . er clearing—it is taken from him at the whim of the landlord , and given to another at an advanced rent , the consequence of which is that the ejected tenant feels—and very naturally feels—that a robbery has been committed upon him , and not having it in his power to take revenge upon the landlord who had committed it , be wreaks bis vengeance upon the tenant in possession . The Whig and Tory press take care to announce every act of violence—or
supposed act of violence—of this sort , every " Rockite notice" to quit , and very often forges those notices ; but the people of England are never told , by either Whig or Tory journal , that those outrages originate in robbing the tenant of his labour , and turning him and his helpless family adrift upon the wide world , stripped of everything ia the shape of clothing or furniture : thus circumstanced , and thus treated by the heartless Irish landlords , the wonder is that there are not twenty outrages for every one we hear of . Mr . Crawford , in bringing forward hia Landlord and Tenant Bill , may be influenced by a desire to put a total stop to those fearful outrages , to save some of the Irish landlords from the fate which they so very justly
merit , as well as by motives of humility aad true patriotism . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) Why is he not supported by the Irish members ! Because tho .-e who profess exclusive patriotism are alJ , or nearly all , looking for places , either for themselves or their dependants . But the Whigs are out , and it is natural to expect that , as the chances of place are now in abeyance , they wUl begin to vote in favour of the people . Mr . O'Higgins concluded by moving the following vote of thanks to William Sharman Crawford , Esq .: — " That the warmest thanks of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association are justly due , and hereby tendered , to Wm . Sharman Crawford , Esq , M . P ., toi hia truly patriotic effort to lay the real causes of the distress and suffering of the people of
this great empire before her Majesty , by proposing the following addition to the Address from the House of Commons ; and also for his manliness in dividing the House upon it , and thus enabling the people to distinguish between their true and false friends , between real and sham patriots—* That we further respectfully represent to your Majesty that , in our opinion , the distress which your Majesty deplores is mainly attributable to the circumstance of your whole people not being fully and fairly represented in this House , and that we feel it will be our duty to oooBider the means of so extending and regulating the Suffrage , and of adopting such improvements in the system of voting as will confer on the working classes that just weight in the representative body which is necessary to secure a due consideration of
their interest , and which their present patient endurance of suffering gives them the strongest title to claim . ' And this Association also thanks the thirtyeight members who voted with Mr . Crawford upon the occasion , but more especially to Messrs . Roaohe , Powell , Murphy , Bridgeman , Blackett , Blake , J . O'Brien , C . O'Brien , Sir V . and the Honourable Col . Butler , who are the only Irish members who voted for Mr . Crawford ' s motion . " Mr . Wood , in an effective speech of considerable length , seconded the motion of Mr . O'Higgins , after which three tremendous cheers , and one cheer more , were given for Mr . Crawford , and his landlord and tenant bill ; thanks were also given to the chairman , and the meeting separated , several as they left the room saying that Mr . Crawford was the only member in the house who represented the people of Ireland .
BARN SUSY . —The Barnsley Chartists held their weekly meeting on Monday . After the payment of their contributions and the enrolment of somt new members , the following resolution was carried unanimously , ** That Mr . J . B . O'Brien be requested to visit Barnsley as soon as he can make it convenient . " MANCHESTER . —On Sunday evening , the Tib-Etreet room was crammed . Mr . Griffin was called to the chair , who read two very interesting letters from Mr . Doyle , who was then in Ireland , giving an account of the progress of the cause , and the good which the Star was doing in spreading the principles of Chartism , and removing prejudice in Ireland , which was received with loud cheers . Mr . Benbow then , in a speech replete with interest and of great length , delineated the manners and
principles of the present times . The Chairman then gave out the notices , one of which was that he would lecture on Sunday evening next . He then read several extracts frem Cobden ' s pamphlet on Ireland , which attributed the evils of that country to the fact of its people being Catholics . A gentleman was next introduced who had arrived from Dublin that day , and who was a companion of O'Higgins and Brophy , the noble men of the Association there , who spoke for a few minutes in a very affectionate and sincere style , which gave testimony that his heart and soul were in the cause . He gave a cheering account of the progress of the cause in that country , and the number of respectable men that had and were about to join . He was loudly greeted , and a vote of thanks was tendered him and Mr . Benbow .
Demonstration Couhittee . —It is impossible to coavey an idea of the general excitement in this town " and district . The trades are making every preparation : twelve hundred tickets have been issued—just as many as can be accommodated with tea ; but they are not half the quantity which are called for . Go where we will , they have not tickets , and complain most bitterly . People are applying , from morning till night , to those persons who have been advertised in the bill to dispose of them : they come in groups to the Committee , and offer three times the money asked for them , but all to no purpose . Many of the most industrious femajes , who have made colours to carry in the procession , and have hired carriages , grieve much that they cannot procure tickets . There are many active and paying members who cannot get a ticket . Had there been convenience , the Committee might have
sold 5 , 000 tickets . There never was , poor as the people are , such a general excitement , and what to do to give satisfaction , they do not know . A motion was made in Committee last Monday night , to take the Carpenters' Hail , engage another band for a bail , issue another thousand tickets , and arrange with Mr . O'Connor to speak first at the Hall of Science , and then go to Carpenters' Hall , and there speak again , and thus satisfy both parties . The discussion was adjourned till Wednesday evening . Tha Eccles people are preparing breakfast for the patriots . The fiags are being silver-gilded and fringed . Every one seems to be doing his best . The Committee git till midnight : they sent a deputation to engage a coach and four , and as soon as the gentleman heard who it was for , he treated the men , and told them they should have a coach and six for the same price , so that we shall have a coach and six to bring them in with .
