LEEDS TJ ^ vEMPL OYED OPERATIVE ENUMERATION COMMITTEE . Oar anxiety to promote any undertaking that bMB ft tendency to ameliorate the sufferings of the destitute , prompt as to eomplj with the request of % deputation from the above Committee , that ire would give a statement of its objects , in order that its claims to support u&y be more widely circulated . A glance over one of the enumeration books , and » statement of the order of procedure , made by the de putation , enable us to say that the mode which the Committee has adopted is admirably calculated to attain the end in view . __
The Committee is composed of Delegates representing the workmen employed at various factories md workshops in the borough , who contribute one penny each , weekly , to a Committee Fund , the necessity of which will be apparent from the following statement : — Twenty of the most intelligent operatives are , at present , engaged in the several wards taking the enumeration , who receive two shillings each , or upwards , per day . Two competent persons , otherwise unemployed , are engaged making an analysis of all the enumeration books which increases the daily expenditure , which , when added to the expenses previously incurred , by printing circulars , enumeration books , &c , will show that the pennies of the weekly contributors are being well applied .
We might here insert a few cases of appalling destitution which a brief inspection of an enumeration book brought under our notice , were we not aware that we Bhonld thus be unnecessarily antici pating the committee ' s report ; we will oaly say , thai the enumerators , when they have finished their several wards , will have laid bare such a mass of indigence and destitution , as but few indeed of the inhabitants of Leeds ever dreamed of . "We perceive that Shabxas Cbawfokd and other members of Parliament , have been put in possession of statistical details of the average sums upon which
human beings , in the several towns vrhieh they represent , are obliged to subsist . We are not aware of the auspices under whieh these details have been collected . It would be well , however , if the operajiTes of all pkees , where distress prevails , and where it does not prsvail , would take this matter into their own hands ; it is their own cas « . The operatives of Leeds are acting « pon this principle ; and good will undoubtedly result from its adoption . We have lone and earnestly contended for this
mode of procedure , viz ., the necessity of working men doing their own work . They cannot pondtr over the misery which they have brought to light without perceiving the causes from which it emanates . Let this be done generally , and we doubt aot the issue . The necessity of something being done is now becoming apparent , even to obtuse perceptions . CommiBseraiion for the Bufferings of the poor , and desire to alleviate those sufferings , are uaiable feelings .
The Enumeration Committee 13 acting upon a noble as well as a generous principle . The propriety f supporting this committee , we would respectfully enforce upon every employed operative in Leeds ; and to other towns , we Bay Go ye and do likewise . "

THE BIRMINGHAM DEMONSTRATION . Wb know not how to begin to write on this inviforating subject ; and , with our present modicum of space before us , dare not do so . We shall , therefore , simply leave the following extract from the letter of an eye-witness , which our readers will see was written as a private note , to tell its own
BIRilHf GHAM FOR EVER , HTRBAH ! !! • "It ins not a Birmingham demonstration enly , ii vaa a Midland Counties demonstration It d « fiei description , and baffles all calculation at te numbers . I » h * di give aosne facts whereupon you may form a sort of estimate . The streets of Birmingham are both long and wide ; Bromsgrove-street is particularly long—I should say frem . top to bottom nearly a balf mile , and when I arrived at the bottom , that portfon of the procession which preceded the car filled the ftreet as full at an egg . It wai not a procession ; it was a town full of people ! While I wai at the bottom
< £ Bromsgrove-stxeet , I could not see nearly to tb end of the procession , which was behind tbe car . — Every TPtn who has witnessed the processions for the last twenty years , with the exception of Mr . Blaxland , allows that it was far away the largest ever jeen . Even if inclined , it would be impolitic in me to exaggerate , ai hundreds of thousands taw the reality , and will judge far themselves . Mr . Blnx-Jand , one of the old Council , and an excellent man , told me that he thought tbe procession to meet Attwood ox bis return from Lord Grey , was larger , if any thing , but that Monday ' s far out-numbered
any other be bad seen . The Executive was there , and Leaeb , who saw half a million on Xersal Moor , says that be thinks Kersal Moor was a larger meeting . I was at Birmingham at the grand Attwood convention demonstration in 1838 , when the press gaTe us 209 , 900 . Mind , 290 , 000 , and I assure yon , on my word of hononr , you could have stolen the procession of 1 S 38 out of ours of Monday . It bore no comparison . Well , M ' Douall saw the procession to meet the delegates in 1 S 39 , and he said that it would be an insult to compare them . The Town Hall of Birmingham is estimated to hold 12 , 000 persons and Ijusure jou , that the numbers congregated in Birmingham on this ever-memorable 20 th of September , 1511 , would have taken more than two hours to walk
in and out of the said Town HalL Now for the joke Our great-grandmother of this morning , the Morning Herald , gave us , I presume , upon the Bame authority that it gave a list of the Administration that was not toot , 800—mind , 600 ; men of Birmingham ; mind , 800 little boys and women . The dolt ! the fool ! the ass ! Uie < i"a jfr"g old woman ! Can anything go farther than Rich folly , to increase the people ' s confidence in themselves , and to destroy all confidence in all other classes ? Is there now , or is there not , a neesssity for a daily organ of out own , to fight the old -woman with ? Th » dame is beginning already to tali of prosecutions also ? Never was there such a demonstration , and never was there a bigger fool and ass than the combination of both th&t wrote to our great-grandmother . " Yours , it , "P . S . Mind , this was the only demonstration ever jot up in Birmingham by the working classes . "

MORE WHIG TACTICS . Tee defunct faction seem resolved , eTen in their grates , to do something in the way of mischief . They eeeia disposed for a repetition of the Stevenson ' s-Bquare tragedy on Monday . A placard , of which the following i 3 a copy , has been plentifully circulated among the Irish of Manchester ; doubtless , in tbe hope of exciting some disturbance . We trust the prudence of the people will disappoint the wretches copt : —
" Irishmen ! Fesrgus O'Connor comes to Manchester on Monday next , Sept . S 7 th , and expects to triumph over his opponents here by inducing you to folio w in his train and do homage to him as a patriot . In order to conciliate you , as he knows he can do no good without you , be has tacked th « Repeal of the Union to the People's Char ter . Irishmen ! who is the great leader of the Irish people ? whs is the true liberator of bis injured country ? Daniel O'ConnelL Whs c&tmaelled th 9 Chartists of Leeds to give Mr . O'Conneil Bwelcsme ? Fearcus O'Connor . Who has uniformly
libelled , abused , and belied Mr . D . O'Conneil ?—Peargus OCsnnor . Who was the means of reterning Walter for Nottingham , and restoring the Peel and Stanley government to power ? Feargas O'Connor . Irishmen , if you love your c « untry , if you love your great leader , if you are true to your cause , meet Feargus O'Connor , in StephenBon ' s- * quare , on Monday next , and show to him and the world , that yon hate tyrants and hypocrites , and are not to be led away by Tory wolves in Chartist clothing . "A . N IEISHMAS . "
The infamous dosnment bears no imprint . It is doubtless meant for mischief . Let Sir Chabj . es Shaw look to it , that the peace of the town be kept , and her Majesty ' s peaceable subjects protected from outrage .

TO THE XDITOB OP THE HOBTHEHJY STAB . Sip-, —Having ascertained that there is an advertisement in the morning papers for ISO stonemasons , for the new Houses of Parliament , which states that applications are to be made to Mr . Wardle , on the Works , I therefore trust , through the medium of your journal , to throw a little light on the statement of the advertisers , which , if not contradicted , might be the means of drawing-masons to the above sfor' k under the idea that Viie monster Allen tad been removed from the Works , and Wardle put in his place , at the same time Wardle will be found to be only a clerk , -whom they have made a tool , for the purpose of enticing men to the Worts , knowing that the name of Allcu is notorious as a tyrant , and no one will attend to his call . We therefore beg to state , that any mason engaging under such circumstances , will immediately be placed under the contfoul of Allen , and to r-. place those who have struck against his unbearable conduct . I remain , Sir , Toot obedient servant , Thos . Carter , Secretary to the Operative Masons' Society General Union , London , Sept . 22 nd , 1841 .

TO MR . HENRY HETHERINGTON . Sir , —After having challenged me to a discussion relative to the principles of Chartism , as advocated by Messrs . Lovett and Collins , and the principles of Chartism advocated by the National Charter Association , ycu have , I find , declined the acceptance of my proposal to meet you , although I have much inconvenienced myself by offering to extend the time to any day up to Friday inclusive . You say ( I understand ) that you would not be prepared before the middle of October , as you
require to look over back numbers of the Northern Star . You forget that all the preparation necessary on meeting Mr . Watkins would be available in your discussion with me ; but you could not have forgotten that , from the middle of October , for some months , I have an engagement for every day . In this state of the affair , I must beg to hand you over to the Executive , who will be in London on Monday , the 11 th , when , I am instructed to say , they will take the part which I had assigned to mvself .
I must say , that your conduct has been most unfair and unjust ; but I have no reason to complain , if the public will tolerate such a trilling with so serious a subject . I am , Sir , Your obedient Servant , Feargus O'Connor . „ . . . , , m

BRON'TERRE O'BRIEN . Fellovc Coustrtmen , —Had not our exultation been chastened and modified by the very judicious letter of our persecuted friend , Mr . O'Brien , we should have been led by our enthusiasm , at his liberation , to make it a matter of public rejoicing and congratulation . Like purer spirits we can rejoice when even one is extricated from the jaws of our enemies ; but our advocate and champion is not one only , he is himself a phalanx . On the 24 th' of this month , O'Brien will , If able , walk out of the dungeon in which ha has been so long confined . It is not his intention to allow himself any long respite , but to proceed , as Boon as convenient , to carry on his attack upon the combined forces of capitalist and landlord .
All will see the necessity and propriety of Mr , O'Brien being so circumstanced that he can be at full liberty to adopt such steps as will ba £ > est to promote our common cause . In order that such may be the case , it will be necessary to forward all monies at present in tbo hands of the several Treasurers , to the General Treasurer appointed by the Central Committee ; and we entreat you , fellow countrymen , not to let this suffice ; recollect , for a moment , that the man whom we are thus feebly assisting , is persecuted for the transcendent ability , and the indomitable spirit , with-which he has pleaded for the rights of man . Recollect ! that he has sacrificed the honours of rank , and the comforts of competency , and submitted to the misery an 4 hardship of want , that he might assert those principles which are founded in truth and justice , and for which we hope that all are disposed to make some sacrifice .
Now that 3 Ir . O'Brien has outlived the torments of his imprisonment ; now that he is going to be restored to the bosom of his family , and the society of his friends , let us make one general effort , testifying eur gratitude to Mr . O'Brien , and our abhorrence of his enemies . Let every association have its voluntary collection on its next meeting night As much depends upon individual exertion , let every member go with a resolution to moot the subject if none else does . With such a resolution little exertion would be necessary , and , if simultaneously acted upon , great and good must be the result Signed on behalf ot the Committee , John Ogden , Secretary . Sept 22 , 18 « . - - ^

Fbllow Wobkino Hen , —Knowing , as I do , that political knowledge is the only thing wanted among tbe people to arouse them to a sense of their degradation and slavery , I deem it a duty incumbent upon every lover of liberty to use every means in bis power to regain for himself and bis fellow working men those long withheld but just rights which we are now struggling for ; and if the people will carry out tbe principles which I am about to recommend , I believe it would be of incalculable benefit , in supporting tbe Chartist cause , and that without the sacrifice of one single penny to tbe public , as yeu will perceive in reading this letter .
You are aware that we have an Executive Council , elected to direct the national movement , bnt whose labours are , to a certain degree , crippled fur want of better supplies , which may be considerably increased by carrying out tbe following plan , which I propose as follows : — I will supply all such as may favour me with their orders with blacking of best quality , and at the lowest possible price ; and whilst it is good and cheap to the consumer , it shall leave a good remunerating profit to the agent And I further propose to transmit to tbe Executive Council of the National Charter Association , to assist in carrying out the objects for which tbe Association Was formed , one halfpenny out of every shilling which I receive . Tba following regulations to be adhered to in tbe financial affairs : —
First , That every order must be accompanied with tbe money ( or we can never conduct our business with propriety before the public ) , and that the agent , when he sends me an order , most sent a copy of tbe order to the ExecuttTe Council , that they may know what i » dne to them every week .

The passengers wore all more or less injured .

Fathers and Mothers !— Friends of liberty ! prepare flags for your Children , and let the by-gone Demonstrations of Whiggery and Toryism sink into nothingness , compared to the Demonstration when Freedom ' s Noblest Son shall ride triumphant through your streets !

TO Open the Eyes of the Deluded World , I ask will any Medical Gentleman , from any quarter , contrast the honesty and success of his Practice , as Surgeon , Physician , and Accoucheur , with that of mine , during the last Twenty-eight Years f Surely this is the right way to test merit , medicine , and men . Thank Providsnce that all honest Lawyers and Doctors , and Clergy , are no longer my Persecutors , and the ' x own enemies , but , like other honest men , as their grateful letters to me , to publish their Cures , amply testify—are acknowledging the necessity of Universal Suffrage in Medicine , as in Politics , in order to establish the Health of Mankind .
FIRST LETTER . To Dr . Greer , of Glasgow . Dear Sir , —It is with peculiar pleasure that I add my testimony to that of many others in favour of your truly . valuable medicines . 1 have used them myself , given them to my family , and , of late , administered them to my patients ; and , in every case , the result has been so very good , that , approving , as I now do , of the Hygeian principles of Medicine , and Medical Practice , I have come to the resolution of using no other Medicines in my Practice than , yonr ' s—being convinced that , they will be always attended by the happiest results . I am . Sir , Your obedient Servant , ; James Thompson , Surgeon , Busby . The next letter will be from an honest writer .
Caution , —Since I conscientiously resigned , seven years ago , my lucrative situation , as Professor to tho British College of Health , London—( see Morisoniana , 1834)— when I , by the approbation of the late James * Morison , Esq ., Hygeist , and upwards of 10 , 000 converts to Hygeianism , ( who had read my review of the PharmacopieB , ) improved the Universal Medicine , and reduced its price—I have no connection with the conflicting parties , who sell what each call Morison's Pills—nor with any , but my own Medicines , which , after seven years' trial in every disease , of young , and old , on sea and land , of a publio or a private nature , stand unequalled for Safety and Successful Cures ; and which require only one trial , to ba appreciated .
Dr . Grser ' s Pills will be Prepared in London , and 74 , ( 102 ) South Portland-street , and 62 , Nelsonstreet , Glasgow , by himself and six sons . They are Sold in Boxes at Is . 3 d ., 2 s . 9 d ., is . 6 d ^ 11 s ., and Packets for Exportation , and Sea Captains . All stamped by Government . General Agents and Shippers receive large per centage . It being quite impossible I can faithfully reply to all correspondents , without a clerk , therefore , it is expected that all Strangers will send Enclosures who wish the best Medicine and Advice from me , who has given up all out-door practice , for this purpose . James Greer , Professor of Hygeianism . No . 1 , has White , and No . 2 , Green Labels on the Box Lids .
N . B . —The Essence of my No . 1 , Pills circulates Seven Hundred Times oftener through the Blood than that of No . 2 , and is perhaps the most Exhilarating Tonic ever discovered ; and the Essence of my No . 2 Pills does not , like that of other strong Purgatives , carry the food out of the Bowels , before tho lacteals take up its nourishment into tbe Blood ; but it affords , ( and allays the most acute inflammatory pain also ) full time for the Patient to be nourished by his food—so that eating well and digesting , and sleeping better , is the result of using my Pills . This thousands of people testify .
