HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Mondat , Skpi . 27 . The House resolved itaelf into & eommitte of ways and means , and The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that he had no occasion to go into the details already communicated to the House by the late Chancellor of the Excheqaer , as it would be a needless repetition . In the present session there had been to ted £ 1 , 727 , 432 , to which was to be added the interest on exchequer bills , amounting to £ 740 , 000 , and these two items comprised the sum which the House was then called upon to supply , and this sum was as nearly as possible coincident with the sum which the late Chancellor of the Exchequer had estimated that it would be necessary to supply . The step which he had thought it right to adopt—namely , that of funding excheqaer bills , had been quite successful . He did not wish to bare recourse to new taxes to
make up the deficiency , aad he should therefore resort to temporary expedients . He proposed that either exchequer bills or the sale of stock should be applied to this purpose ; and he proposed that the option should be given to the Government of adopting either of these expedients . Mr . T . P . Basing contended that the proposition of the Bight Hon . Gentleman was injudicious , and protested against the coarse he was pursuing , is adding to the funded debt of the nation . The Chancellor of the Exchequer defended the coarse he had pursued , and referred , as a-precedent , to the coarse pursued , under nearly similar circumstances , by Lord Monteagle . Mr . Williams contended that the difficulties of the country could be met by a system of rigid economy , and moved , as an amendment , " That it was inexpedient to add te the funded debt of the eountry . "
Dr . Bowsing adverted to the want > of economy in the collection of the revenue . Colonel Sibthorp said the Opposition side of the Hoast was attempting to bully the Government , bat they would find it too strong for any Each experiments . Mr . Hawks said it was only reasonable that Sir Robert Peel should state the principles upon which his Government was to be conducted ., Mr . Ewast and Mr . Scott followed , and dwelt upon the distress prevailing in the manufacturing districts . Sir Robert Peel said that Hon . Gentlemen opposite must not deem him disrespectful if he still adhered to his resolution of not entering apon the question of the Corn Laws . He admitted the existence of great distress , bnt it was most mischievous to deal in exaggerated descriptions .
Lord Pauurston said he would not object to the particular proposition of the Chancellor of the Excheqaer , for it was the only resource , except that of voting fresh taxes , which was left him after the rejection of the measures of the late Governttent . Mr . C . Wodd condemned the course pursued by the Government , and dwelt at some length upon t&e necessity of an alteratitn of the Corn Laws . The resolutions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer were then agreed to , Mr . Williams not being able to pat his amendment owing to some point of form . Sir J . Graham moved that the House should resolve itself into a committee of the whole House upon the Poor Law Commission Bill . Mr . Yorxs moved that it should be an
instruction to the committee to insert a clause to the effect" that the commissioners be not empowered to enforce indiscriminate separation between man and -wife , and that in no case shall they sanction or permit separation when the application for relief shall be substantiated as arising from positive inability to obtain work , or from physical infirmity , and not from idleness , vice , or crime . " Sir J . Graham said it was impossible t ) overestimate this subjeet ; but if he entered into the discossion of the Poor Law Amendment Act upon uis motion , he could not refuse to do so upon others ;
ana no snouia tnus be earned into details contrary io the intention < rf the Government , which was anxioas to have time to consider the subject with proper care and caution . Mr . S . Wortley supported the course pursued by the Government ; and , while he condemned the separation of man and wife to the extent to which it was carried , he still hoped the Hon . Member would withdraw his motion to a more favourable opportunity . Mr . V . Smith said that it would have been more manly for the Government to have at once declared for how long a time they meant to continue the Poor Law Commission .
Sir R . Peel said it was intimated to him , in the early part of the session , by the Noble Lord the member for the city of London , that he intended to bring is a bill for the continuance of the Commission for one year , and he only now brought forward that Bill . The Hon . Gentleman should have made himself acquainted with the opinions of his leader before he threw away so orach excellent indignation as he had wasted upon this point . Mr . S . Jbbtis said there was time , if they gave op their hunting , shooting , and other recreations , to inquire into and adopt measures to ameliorate the deplorable condition of the labouring -classes of the people . Mr . Pakisgton supported the course proposed to be pursued by Sir J . Graham . Mr . C Bcllkb supported the Gevernment , in the course which it was , under the circumstances , bound to adopt .
Colonel Wood , of Brecon , said he never supposed that this law was to be applied to all parts of the kingdom indiscriminately . In his district they had built houses so as to allow old couples to live together , as they had been accustomed to do . Mr . H . Hixde opposed the motion of the Hon . Member for York . Mr . Grimsditch hoped the Hon . Member for York would not press his motion ,-though "he believed the Poor Law Act was destructive x > f the social system . Mr . wigset said if the Hon . Member for York divided the House upon the question he would vote for him .
Lord Saxdon could not support the motion of the Hon . Gentleman ( Mr . Yorke ) , though he entertained very strong opinions upon the Poor Law Act . Mr . C . Wood supported the course adopted by Government . Mr . Habjdt hoped that during the ensuing winter the severe clauses of the Poor Law would not be enforced , and that oat-door relief would be more generally extended , Mr . Waklet said if Hon . Members instead of being the administrators of the law , were for a short time its victims , they would form a different opinion of its provisions from that which now seemed to possess them . The House divided , and Mr . Yorke ' s amendment was aegaiiyed by a majority of 187 to 36 . The consideration of the main question was then postponed until Tuesday , when Mr . S . Crawford will bring forward his amendments .
Tuesday , September 28 . On the third reading of the Administration of Justice Bill , Mr . Ward again bronght under discussion the question of compensation to the Hon . Mr . Scarlett . Mr . C . B fixer said that it was hard upon the copying clerks of the Exchequer , some of whom have been thirty years in their occupation , that no compensation whatever was to be given to them . After some further discussion , the Bill was read the third time and passed . Upon the motion for going into Committee npon the Poor Law Commission Continuance Bill ,
Mr . S . Crawford moved as an instruction to the Committee , that it should not be lawful for the Commissioners to declare any new Union after the paadng of this Bill until the question of the Poor Laws should be broaght before Parliament in the coarse of next session . Mr . W . Buepeld Ferrasd seoonded the proposition . Sir J . Graham said the measure before the House was one , which pledged no one , as he reserved not only the details , bat even the principle of the Poor Lawantil the next session of Parliament .
, Mr . M . Philips supported the coarse pursued by the Government . Mr . Waxlet said it was now avowed that the principles of the Poor Law were to -be maintained by the present Government , so that Whigs and Tories might be considered as pledged to its sappert . ; MXgW ** ° defended the Poor Law , and expressed krmtj&aus nn at the manly course adopted by Sir J . Graham , in avowing Mb adherence to the principles f that measure , whatever amelioration might be Bade in seme of its details .
Mr . S . Wobxlsy and Mr . Yorke supported the instruction to the committee , and argued in favour at tto » e « ttity of out-door relief . Coknel Sibthorp supported the motion , and said he was always opposed to the whole system of the Poor Law as usoeBs&ational and degrading to the MOpta .

The House then divided , and tha motion of Mr . S . Crawford was negatived by a majority of 139 toil . Mr . S . Crawford then moved his second instruction to the oommittee , the effect of which was to prevent the Commissioners from refusing oatdoor relief . Mr . Waklkt gupperted the motion . Mr . Darbt opposed the notion , which gave too great a latitude aad removed everything ia the shape of a test . The House again divided , and the motion was negatived by a majority of 1 * 6 to 32 . The House then went into committee , the clauses were agreed to , the House resumed , and the report was ordered to be brought up the next day . Sir J . Graham said be should move the third reading of the bill on Friday .

The " Sight . "—One would think that-starvation was an oddity in London , as the " Faculty ^ have engaged the Hanover-square Rooms , to exhibit their voFantarily starved or fasting man , Bernard Cav&naV for a Bight of whom they charge one shilling per ( fool's ) head . Whether the disposers of soon shillings could make a better use of them is not for us to state , it being rank presumption to dictate to the rich ; suffice it to say , that many noodles who go te see this ten days' starved man , pass by many who have not tasted what can be called food for ten years , or more . 0 miserable system 1 bat not so miserable either , for England U blest with a most 11 liberal" New Poor Law .
Daniel O'Connell and the Charter . —A correspondent thus writes : — "I perceive , from the list of answers to correspondents , in last week ' s Star , that Patrick Ryan wishes to know what were the words of Mr . O'Connell , when he placed the original document of the People ' s Charter in Mr . Lovett's hands ; Mr . Waddington ( a most zealous London Chartist ) informs me that they were— 'There , Lovett , there ' s your Charter ; take it , it is yours ; you have a perfect right to it ; ' meaning , that the industrious classes , in general , had aright to it , and that he told them bo throBgh Mr . Levett . This was at Mr . Lovett ' s house ; and after he ( the renegade Pas ) had signed his name to that important document . If Mr . O'Connell now thinks that we are ' wrong' in demanding that which he himself has acknowledged to be a ' right , 'the fault is his , not ours . "
Mr . L . T . Clancy , founder , and late Secretary of the Dublin Repeal Charter Association , addressed an English assembly for the first time on Tuesday week , at Lambeth ; tke subject of his discourse , or lecture , which occupied above three hours , was " O'Connelliam in Ireland ; Ribboniam in Ireland , and Chartism in Ireland . " Citt of London . —Mr . L . T . Clancy , late Secretary of the Dublin Repeal Association , lectured at the Scientific Institution , 55 , Old Bailey , on Thursday week , for the benefit of Mrs . Peddie ; O'Connellism in Ireland , Ribbonism in Ireland , and Chartism in Ireland , " was to have been the subject of hiB lecture , but not being able to commence till near nine o ' clock , he could only deliver so much of it as referred to the renegade O'Connell , reserving the other portions for the two following Thursdayu .

The glorious demonstrations at Lancaster , Liverpool , Manchester , Leeds , and Sheffield , leave as literally no room for comment ; for , besides occupying our whole space , they present to the reader such a mass of intellectual provision that to add te it would be presumptuous . We need offer no other apology for the entire absence of what is called "Leader" in the Star of the present week ; nor for the omission of much , and the condensing into the smallest possible compass of much more , of valuable Chartist and local intelligence , forwarded te ns from a great many localities .

AT SHEFFIELD . For some time past , Use Committee appointed to superintend the getting up of the Demonstration in honour of the Chief of the People ' s Choice , Feargns O'Connor , Esq ., had been unremitting in the duties assigned them . The Theatre Royal was engaged Foot hundred tickets were printed , 260 men ' s and 150 women's . By the 27 th , these were all sold , asd so great was the demand then , when there was no longer a supply , that it was now seen , when too late .
had there been nx or seven hundred tickets printed , instead of four hundred , no doubt all would have been sold . Bat it was now too late to make farther arrangements , consequently , immense numbers who had postponed applying for tickets , until the Monday evening and Tuesday , could not have their application granted , and as may be supposed , were bitterly disappointed . Large green placards , posted throughout the town , on Tuesday morning , announced the arrangements for the day following . We subjoin a copy : —
" TO THE MASTER CUTLER . " Sir , —We , the undersigned inhabitant householders of the borongh of Sheffield , do hereby request you to convene a public meeting , to be held on Wednesday , September 29 th . to consider the propriety ef presenting a congratulatory address to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., on hU arrival in Sheffield . [ Here followed the names of the requisitionists . ] " The Master Cutler having declined to call a meeting for the above purpose , we , the requisitionists , hereby call one , to be holden in Paradise Square , on Wednesday , September 29 th , at two o ' cloek in the afternoon precisely . After which , the members and friends of the National Charter Association will proceed to the Railway Station with carriages , banners , and music , to meet Mr . O'Connor , who will arrive at Sheffield by the quarter to three o ' clock train , and will then return to Paradise Square , where be will address the assembly ; and then in the same order proceed to the Theatre , where he will be honoured with a public dinner , &c . &c . "
At length the day—the long wished for day arrived . The previous evening the rain had descended in torrents , and caused no little unpleasant feeling in the breasts of our fair friends , fearing , as they did , that similar weather might be their ill fortune on the morrow . On rising , about half-past five o ' clock , we found that a stiff breeze had dried the streets wonderfully in the course of the night , and although the clouds overhead looked anything but propitious , we had faith that all would be well ; but about halfpast seven the rain came pouring down , considerably damping our hopes . About eight o ' clock it ceased , and again the friendly breeie speedily dried the soaking streets . From this hour the day began to wear a better aspect ; and after twelve o ' clock the sky looked gloriously fine , and all dark forebodings vanished .
At two o clock precisely , the Council and members of the Association moved from their rooms , accompanied by the various banner bearers , and an immense concourse of people to Paradise Square . On arriving at the hustings , on the motion of Mr . Gill , Mr . OUey was unanimously elected Chairman . Th « Chairman observed they would be aware of the business for which they had been called together ; it was to agree to a congratulatory address to be presented to Mr . Feargus O'Connor on his arrival . Mr . O'Connor was expected to reach tke
j railway station before three o ' clock , he , ( the chair-! man ) would not therefore , detain them by any : further remarks , but would call upon Mr . Harney j to propose and read to them the address prepared by the Council . \ Mr . Harney then read the address intended to be j presented to Mr . O'Connor , and in a few words pro' posed its adoption . ' Mr . Gill seconded the motion . I The Chairman took the sense of the meeting , 1 when a forest of hands declared the address unaui-| mously carried . i The Chairman said they would now move down to j the Station , there to meet their friend and champion . j Immediately the vast mass assembled—proceeded j with all baste to the Railway , any thing like order
was out of ifae question—so intense was the desire of the thousands who , from the Square , and every street | leading to the Station , now poured down to the place I where they expected to behold O'Connor onee more . i Their patience was , however , pat to the test , having i to wait till near half-past three o ' clock , when a beau-\ tiful Union Jack , waving within the gates of the '¦ Station , borne by the sturdy veteran , Duffy , who had ; accompanied Mr . O'Connor from Leeds , announced the arrival ef the people ' s leader . To adequately \ describe the enthusiasm with which Mr . O'Connor : was hailed , is a task we are not fitted to perform . j Enough , that agiin , and again , and yet again , the > mighty multitude made the very sky to ring again < with their thundering cheers .
¦ The following is the order of procession : — ' Splendid green silk banner of the Sheffield Chartists . j Motto : — " The National Charter Association "j M Justice to all—privilege to none . " > The Reverse— " The greatest happiness of the great-1 number for the greatest length of time . " i Members of the Council of the National Charter

Mr . O'Connor and the Council were the only parties who reached the Square in their carriages—the whole of the other carriages were shut ont by the mighty mass of human beings who filled every nook and corner of the Square . So far as we could see , the number of people in the procession would have filled the Square nearly three times over—as such , many thousands neither saw , nor heard Mr . O'Connor in the Square . Silence being obtained—The Chairman called on Mr . Harney to present the address before adopted to Mr . O'Connor . Mr . Harnet then read the following address : —
TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . The Address qf the Sheffield Artizans , and others , in Public Meeting assembled , Sept . Mth , 1841 . Patriotic Sir , —Upon the occasion of this your public entry into the town of Sheffield , after sixteen months" incarceration in the dungeon , of despotism ,, wo deem it out du >; to briefly address you , expresslng . our approbation of your past career , and our esteem of your publio conduct ; at the same time giving yra to understand what we require of you in the future for oar continued and hearty support .
As Englishmen , free in heart and sonl , though politically and socially held in the chains of thraldom , we seorn to play the part of sycophants . The language ol flatterers ikall not be ours . But , in all sincerity , we award you oar heartfelt approbation of your political career . From the first hour that the name of O'Connor became familiar to the public ear to the present time , we have watched olosely your conduct ; as a member of what ought to be the Commons' House of Parliament—as a Representative of the People in the Convention of 1839—as an advocate of the claims of the working classes on the platform ,
or the assertor of their rights through the press . We have seen nothing to condemn ; muoh , very much to admire . Your ever-to-be-remembered services in behalf of the Dorchester Labourers , and Glasgow Cotton Spinners , entitle you to the lasting thanks of the trades of this country , whose rights were invaded by the unjust punishment of their persecuted brethren ; nor will the people of this country ever forget your unparalleled exertions in humanity ' s c&oae , waea night and day you laboured , and thank God , successfully too , to save from the bloody sentence of the law , the virtuous , unfortunate , betrayed John Frost and his compatriots .
Lastly , Sir , we have marked your unbending , on * flinching conduct in the prison-house , to which those miserable hypocrites and traitors , the defunct Whig faction consigned you ; and have in oar hearts rejoiced that cruelty could not make you cower before despotism , or succumb to the tyranny of the oppressor , We sympathise with you on your late Incarceration , and do Kiost heartily congratulate you upon your release from the felon ' s cell , in which the tyrants of our country had immured you . And now , Sir , permit us to state why we honour you . It is not because you belong to the aristocratic portion of the state ; it is not because you have moved , or may move , in a different sphere of society te as , who belong mainly to the tolling masses ; nor is it because of your
taleats , which we are bound to admire . No ; we honour yon because we found you the honest and incorruptible . We are no " man-worshippers , " and had you , Sir , like unto others in whom we once confided , stept aside from the straight-forward path of political rectitude , like them you would have been rejected by the people , and the men of Sheffield would have been among the first to pronounce your condemnation . Oar confidence and support you shall have so long as an honest man and sterling patriot you are faithful to your trust , and no longer . Bat , Sir , fsithfal in the past , you have oar undimlniched confidence for the fa tare . Go en , then , patriotic Sir , go on in the noble coarse yoa have hitherto pursnacL Fear not the plots of yoar en « mlee , nor the calumnies of false friends ; the people will support you ;
and we , the Artixws of Sheffield , pledge you oar untiring help and aid until the Charter shall be Uw—every despotic institution annihilated—every unjostlaw swept away—and oar country ' s greatness established upon the equal rights aad happiness of all . Mr . O'Connob replied . He thanked them from bis heart and aoul . tie thanked them for the ele-Satly expressed address just read , and presented to m by his friend , Mr . Harney . It was not the first time he had stood upon this hustings—he had stood there when there was danger to brave—when every minion of tyranny was on the watch to entrap him . ( Cheers . ) He stood there again , aye , after sixteen months' incarceration iu a felon ' s cell—he stood amoniet them to hurl defiance to the oppressors , and
to toll them that vain had been their efforts to subdue hit spirit by persecution . ( Loud cheers . ) Thank God , he could now congratulate them on the p roud position of their cause . One of the vile factions had fallen , the miserable truckling Whigs were no more . ( Cheers . ) They had now the Tories in front ; and , by God's { blessing , as they had beat the Whigs , so would they beat and put down the Tories . ( Load cheers . ) Since he last met them , they had had a general election ; well , now they had a House of Tories and Sir Robert Peel , that great State qoack ; your disorder is bo chronic , yoa have laboured under it so Ions ; , you can bear it a little longer , and can afford to do without medicine for the next six months . ( Laughter . ) Now , he would
caution them against been misled by parties who would bid for their strength , not to free the people , but for their own selfish ends . Remember what were the promise , and what have been the performances of the Whigs . ( Load cries ot hear , hear . ) They began by giving my country coercion and ended with giving yours starvation ; and yet now they come forward and ask us to join them in their constitutional opposition to Sir Kobert Peel ' s Government ; well , what do they propose to give us in return for oar support ! O ! just nothing ; you are to " open your mouth , and shut your eyes , and sea what God will send you J "—( laughter , )—but never should the Whigs deceive them more ; he had saved them from the wolves before , and he would save them from the prowling wretches again . ( Cheers . )
if the Whigs admire our principles , as some of them say they do , let them join us ; to them we will not go , so to as they mast come . If the mountain will not come to Mahomet—Mahomet must come to the mountain . ( Cheers . ) The shopkeepers were beginning to find out that an empty till on Satuiday night , made an ugly wife on Sunday morning ; they were beginning to find out that if the working classes were miserable , they could not be comfortable ; hence they were now joining us . Mr . 0 'Conn » r , after a few other remarks , then entered into the question of free-trade , completely upsetting the fallacies of the " cheap-bread , " " high-wsges , " and " plenty-to-do" gentry . Alluding to the recent demonstrations , he said—At Birmingham a
gentleman wanted to get the Charter by fasting and praying , taking especial care that while he did the praying , the fasting should be performed by his flock . But glorious had been the demonstration in that town : at the head of thousands , and tens of thousands of the hard-handed sous of toil he had entered < he Bull Ring , renowned in the annals of their cause . The effect of his visit to Birmingham had been the uniting of all sections of the Chartist body . The Christian Chartist Churchmen had notified to their pastor that he might please himself , but they would join their Chartist brethren ; and if he would not , he might look for a congregation elsewhere . ( Cheers . ) At Manchester they had had six hundred thousand in procession . He had marched
at the head of the trades , marshalled under their respective banners . It was said that he would be assassinated if he went to Manchester : well , he went ; and he did receive a letter telling him that his countrymen would assassinate hini , though even six thousand of them should perish in effecting his destruction ; he heeded not this : he attended the meeting , and the men who ohiefly crowded round the hustings were those whom he was told would assassinate him ; but did they attempt to injure him ! No ; on the contrary , they had expressed their satisfaction at his conduct , and expressed their readiness to join the English people ^ IS * £ « & , ' « *?*» « t « s . ( Cheering . ) At eeds had
L they yesterday a glorious exhibition of their numbers and their strength ; and to-day he was proud and happy to see that Sheflield was more determined than ever in the good old cause Mr O'Connor concluded an eloquent address by warning his hearers to have nothing to do with secret societies ; no ' . threats of physical force were now needed , they were too proudly strong in . their moral might . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) Three hearty cheers were given for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; three for the Charter and no surrender and three for Mr . O'Connor ; when the mighty multitude formed in procession as before , proceeding up the principal streets of the town to the Theatre Royal .
THE DINNER . As before stated , four hundred tickets were sold by Monday afternoon ; bat a large number of persons were « coommodated in addition to the above number ; and as near as we could judge , something

near five hundred persons sat down to dinner . The front of the stage was tastefully ornamented with festoons of dahlias and laurel ; portraits of Feargus and Arthur O'Connor , Emmett , and other patriots , decorated different parts of the Btage , where , on eleven lengthy tables , the dinner was served up . The arrangements were altogether excellent , and reflect honour on the . superintending oommittee . ¦ About five o'clock the company sat down to table aad were not slow in doing justice to ihe good things set before them . Each having partaken of the substantials . and the eloth removed , the Chairman gave
orders for the admission of the publio waiting outaide . The doors were no sooner opened than a rush was made from without , and simultaneously the boxes , pit , and gallery filled to overflowing , hundreds being forced to remain outside , for whom there was no room within . The speakers now took up their places in front of the pit , Mr . O'Connor being loudly applanded on coming forward . The Chairman gave , — ** The people , the only source of legitimate power . " Mr . Gm responded to the sentiment . Air— " Rule Britannia . "
The Chairman then introduced Mr . Wm . Martin , of Brampton , who presented an address to Mr . O'Connor from the Chartists of Chesterfield and Brampton . We regret our limits will not permit ns to give this address , nor that of the ladies afterwards presented . The Chairman next introduced Mra . Clayton , Mrs . Holbery , Mrs . Fodeu , and Mrs . Ward—a deputation from the Female Chartists of Sheflield , appointed to present a congratulatory address to Mr . O'Connor ; Mrs . Ward read the address which
was beautifully worded , setting forth the esteeem and respect in which he v »* held by the fair patriots whom they represented . The Chairman then gave "Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., the incorruptible and unchangeable advocate of universal liberty , may he live to see the rights of the people established , and the principles of freedom triumphant throughout the world . Mr . O'Connor , who was received with the most tremendous cheering , then replied in a speech of an hoar and a half ' s duration , of : which it is quite impossible to give even a word
Air— " See the Conquering hero comes . " The Chairman next gave "The Charter , the only means of redress for the wrongs and grievances of the people—may it speedily become the law of the land . " Responded to by Mr . Julian Harnet . Air- " Scots whahae . " The Chairman next gave— "The Welsh Martyrs ; may the united people restore to their fatherland the exiles in liberty ' s cause . " Responded to by Mr . Samuel Parkes . Air— " The exile of Erin . "
The Chairman next gave— "Justice to Ireland by the Repeal of the Union , and independent Parliament , based upon the prnciples of Universal Suffrage . " Responded to by Mr . M'Kkttrick . Air— " St . Patrick ' s Day . " The Chairman next gave , " The sacred memories of Tyler , Wallace , Tell , Washington , Bbsciusko . Muir , Emmett , Fitzgerald , and the patriots of all ages and all nations , who have struggled and died to establish the rights of man . " Responded to by Mr . Hollyoake . The CHAinMAN next spive , " Brontonre O'Brien , and all who have suffered to achieve the people ' s deliverance ; may they have their reward in the speedy triumph of the principles they have so nobly vindicated . "
Responded to by Mr . Marsh . Air—** A man's a man for a'that . " The Chairman next gave— "The Northern Star , and the rest of the democratic press , may the people enlightened win their rights , and nave the knowledge to maintain them . " Responded to by Mr . Mr . Buxton . This dosed the evening ' s proceedings . We may , in conclusion , mention that , in addition to parties from Doneaster , Barnsley , Rotherham , and Chesterfield , there were persons present from almost all the villages and towns within 30 miles of Sheflield ; we conversed with a gentleman who had walked forty miles from the Tory town of Newark , much to oar gratification . He assured us Chartism was
making steady progress in his locality ; and similar cheering information we received from all quarters . In Chesterfield , Donoaster , and Rotherham the cause is gloriously progressing . Wednesday was a day glorious for Sheflield—how muBt the miserable factions have quaked in their hearts to witness the peaceful moral exhibition of the . people ' s struggle , to see them in their countless thousands throne the streets , and hear their lionvoices shouting the death-knell of tyranny .

We regret much that we canaet persoad * our friends practically to observe the very clear and plain directions which we have so often given and repeated about the sending of matter for the Star . The extent of our circulation obliges as to go to press on Thursday afternoon ; and , therefore , onr friend * seem to think that if their communication * reach us by Thursday morning It U quite Boon enough . This is a great mistake . They should remember that every word of the paper has to be put together by single letters , and the whole space filled before we can go to press , and it is impossible to do this In one forenoon . Our men are busily employed in filling up the paper with matter which , from one source or other , we most supply daring the whole
week , and it seldom happens that more than one or two column * , besides the necessary space for editorial comment , remain to be filled on Thursday morning . This shews the importance and necessity of all matters of news , occurrences of the movement , reports of meetings , dee ., being sent to us at once , immediately they occur . Instead of which , it often happens , that on Monday and Tuesday we have scarcely any letters , and on Wednesday comparatively few till the night post arrives . The consequence is , that those letters which do arrive in the early part of the week are carefully attended to and given generally at length ; while we are obliged to have recourse to the London papers , and various sources , for matter to fill the remaining portion
of sa many columns of the paper as must be set np before Wednesday night Wednesday night and Thursday morning ' s posts bring as a shoal of letters from all parts of the country ; these come upon us just in the harry of writing and attending to what are called the leading articles ; while in the early part of the week we have more time to attend to correspondence . The eonseqaence is that one half of these letters are passed over entirely ; and the other half compressed into the smallest possible amount of space—and the next consequence is , that in the following week we have letters , of complaint from various parties about their communications being treated with neglect Some whose letters or reports may have been omitted for
want of space , refer occasionally to the police reports—the column of " varieties , " or some other portion of the contents of the 2 nd , 3 rd , ttth , or 7 th pages of the paper , whiafa are always set up flrat—and ask indignantly if their communication was leas Important ) than such or such a thing which appeared in the same paper from which it was excluded "for want of space "—others accuse us of partiality and unfairness in cutting down their reports to a mere annoucement , while those of other towns are given at greater length . We have had many most angry letters of this description , the cause for which has rested entirely with the parties themselves . Now If oat ftlendB will bat bear in mind that we an filling up the paper every day ; that the same column cannot be filled twice over ; that we mutt give out
such matter as ice have just when the men want it , or there would be no Star on Saturday , and that therefore we can't wait for the n « xt post—we must go on ; if they would remember all this , and send their communications promptly —in the early part of the week—all would stand a fair and a good chance ; and if they would also remember that we have only one weekly paper for all England , Scotland , Ireland , and Wales , and that , therefore , no one place can be allowed to monopolize an unreasonable portion of the paper , we should have no complaints of inattention to any party—because we know there would be no ground for them . Our anxious desire is to make the Star a truly national organ , equally representing all ; but we cannot d « this unless the country will aid us rightly in the seeding ot their matters of communication .
The above remarks apply , of coarse , to news , facts , meetings of the people , Chartist intelligence , tec . Original papers , letters to the Editor , personal correspondence , poetry , &c , must be here at the beginning of the week , or we shall not hold ourselves bound even to notice them .

TO THE ED 1 T 0 R OF THR NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Various reports having been circulated , through the medium of the journals of the metropolis , and which , if not contradicted , are calculated to prejudice the publio mind against a body of men who are at this time struggling for their rights , we therefore take the opportunity of soliciting a favour , to disabuse the public mind through your columns ; and trust , as your journal is the only one on whioh working men can depend for the truth , that you will lay its columns open for them . ' The Observer states that the men lately employed at the Houses of Parliament have strnsk against their foreman for no fault whatever ; and that sixteen or seventeen have been the means of
persuading 220 to leave their work without a cause . This , to us , is preposterous : more particularl y when we are aware that the source whence it came has acknowledged that the generality of the masons on that work were rational and thinking men . In order to fiivo the publio an opportunity to judge for themselves , whether the men have any reason to complain or not , we will give you a detailed account of facts ( which we challenge the world to deny , ) relative to the conduct of Allen , foreman at the above worlo . One of the men received the unwelcome intelligence from Manchester of the death of his mother and very naturally felt a wish to see her interred ; he informed Allen of his desire to go to Manchester
for that purpose , stating that he would be back in a week or fortnight , when the black monster turned round upon him and told him " if that was the case he might go away altogether , " asserting *• that he would not keep a jab open for any man that length of time under such circumstances . " As another specimen of his conduct , one of the men had his leg broken by a fall from the scaffold , and on his return to bis work , expected of course , that as he had been lamod in the service of his employers , that they would continue to give him work , but no , Allen immediately discharged him , in the most insulting manner , and told him he did not want
such d—d hobbling fellows as him there : again there was one of th » men who had got leave iron the under foreman to attend the death-bed of his wife , and on his return , Allen asked him where the d-1 idi : h—1 he had been r The man replied that his wife was dead , and he should want to go to burr her . "Then" ( says Allen ) « you may go and di 7 , and be d—d ! and bury yourself with her ! " It has also been quite customary for this monster to order many a good tradesman , in the most domineering manner , to " pick up his tools and be off , ' before they have been many hours on the job , without the least consultation as to whether they were blameable
or not . We now think we have said euftlcient to satisfy the publio of the sophistry and falsehoods contain ed in the journals of the metropolis , and will therefore

conclude by informing them that the masons bin manfully came oat , and there they will remain untfl that monster , Allen , » removed from the works , and are not , as has been stated , deficient of tS support of their Society ; and , consequently , the * wuf not be compelled to sartender for that whid is held oat to them by most of the trades of tfe metropolis , . , ¦ ... ,.

GBAVXXHOXtE . —( Nsab BoLTON . > -In n « town in England is tyranny carried to a more alarming extent than in this village . It has often been roar correspondent ' s lot to expose the shameful and brutal conduct of millowners and their tools-conduct at which human nature has shuddered ; bat he never saw cruelty in the mills that could be con . trasted with that practised by one or two petty tyrants here . The fustian-catting is Jjhe principle trade , and is in the hands of VfewMhen , who aQ employ a namber of persons , and ^ hnejtne work under their own inspection . SamelonUIWm are honourable men , and as moderate in their demands aa can be expected in their circumstances , but such
cannet be said of them all . One of these masteri has , on some occasions , had thirty children working for him—children under the age at which the milS take them—children whose parents are poor , an . 4 compelled to get them work on some terms , and , therefore , their poor children are engaged whu « tears bedew their parental cheek . At the present this man has eighteen children working for him , all at half price , some of which are apt more thaa-seveo reare of age ; yet they have to rise early and work late , and towards the end of the week—as if rest oi the Sabbath was too much / or these little ones—they are made to work all night : yes , the iron-hearted master makes them work all the Friday sight ; and if exhausted nature fall to sleep , the poor little ones are aroused by the flats of their masters . A few
dayB ago I was led , by Mormatiw . to inspect thii little helL After some conversation with the neigh . boars , I got in . When I got there , a female , about thirty years of age , attracted my attention . Her eyes were swollen , and of a dark parole colour . 1 asked what had been the cause , and was pointed to the master , and was told that lie , in a fit of anger had struck her with his fists ; On inquiry I found that it was not uncommon to see her abased , and to hear the children cry . But it would require tbs pen of an Oastler to do justice to the subject ; for cruel as the factory tyrants are , this man alone hat made more crippled children tbaa all the mills of Rochdale united . Well might the ancient penmai eay , ** The tender mercies ofihe wicked are cruel . " —Correspondent .
