SSH 3 BLE 7 . —Easteb Dots . —The w with ¦ fl * sew Reewr against lbs inhabitants for the recovery ©* Easter Does , still progresses . Twoxpore Yictuaa , Mr . Jobs lister and Mr . John Butterfiekir W the list , destined to bvre their goods taken fcom their houses , unless they par the tax to the State Church . To-day CWeanesday ) , being -what re jeauaonlj called Jostiee meeting , these two indiyj < hials made their appearance according to the order « f the summonses , to shew cause why they refused to pay- They informed the magistrates and the Eacior , who mi present , that as men who wanted jrtbi&g iron the State Church , they thought it pajrhi , in common honesty , to let them alone . They ataTobeerred , that as they had never paid anything of the ^ ind before , they ware entirely ignorant -f the nature of the demand , and thought that , as
It ms at best a questionable concern , they ought to jafrfj them by reading over the law on the subject . W , Ellis , Esq . * fTt >« jrm ^ n of the meeting , accordin glv read something out of a book handed te him by the elerk , about an Act passed in the reign of William III i for the better reooverj of small tithes , cffftriBg * , oblations , © bventions , & * . After the readin g of this pieoe of staff , which appeared to contain no thing about the ease on hand , the magistrates give their verdict , as a matter of coarse , in janmr ft the Hector , and told the parties to cash up , k tafct the consequences . The Rector then got tip , mite satisfied with the decision of the Bench , and whilst walking toward * the door , had his ears jatatedwhb a regular hiss from the crowd . The tm TietiBs , wfco are thus marked out as examples -et the power of the Church , are honest , indBB * triou men , and , like the two before , of Chartist
principles . LEEDS . —Masoks' Stbikb Coworee . —This eooarittee set j aoeording to adjournment , on Friday evening . The minutes of the last meeting wera read aad confirmed . The secretary announced that ae had received a parcel of circulars from London , wtoch were directed to be made as good use of as etreemsianees would permit . A delegate from the plasterers attended , aad was added to the committee . Much important business was done , and it was recmested that the secretary should correspond with
tin various Charter Associations in the ont-townikipg , soliciting their aid in getting up public meetiags in f * Tour of the masons . The Chairman slated that the subject of Trades ' Unions should occupy sore of hid attention than it had hitherto * me , SBd solicited any of the member * to famish him with , information , on that subject . It was rewired that the committee should meet on Friday Bights , at seren o ' clock , until farther notice . The ttcmtttee sit every Saturday evening , in the Association Boom , Shambles , to receive subscriptions in aid of the strike .
As Old Fool . —On Monday last , an aged man who gave his name Joseph Fenton , and said he came from Tong , appeared at the Court House to support a charge of robbery against a nymph of the pare aimed Sarah Howarth . Fenton stated that he came to Leeds on Saturday , and about sine o ' clock in the evening he met with the prisoner and three or four ethers in the Calls ; they asked him to giro them seme gin , to which be consented , and went to a dram shop for that purpose . He sat with them some time , nd -when he got up to go away , the prisoner and one of the other girls followed him into the street , where
each ot them seized aa arm to prevail upon him to ere them some more drink—he refused and they left nim , when be almost immediately missed his psrse and money , two sovereigns and about thirty sMttJngs in silver . The prisoner was immediately apprehended , but the other girl got away , and she it was , according to his tale then , that had got his money ; but on Monday morning , he had changed iis mind , and swore stiffly that Howarth had got it . Ho money , however , was found , and it being evident that he had told two different tales , th « prisoner *» s discharged . We guess he will mind better asother time .
Tm Robbsby . —On Saturday last , a young lad , laniecl Jcnn Shaw , who has been for some time an errmd boy in ihe service of Mr . KettleweU , drugcst and grocer , Bridge End , was charged wiih saving , at various limes , stolen money from the liiL Is was stated also that he had confessed to having Bolen & quarter of a pound of coffee and two ounces of tvi tTtiy week for the list twenty-four weeks . Oa Iridij , l £ r . KrUlewell left his hhop for a minute or two , and on his return he saw the lad with his fc&ad in ths till , and on searching him , he fouua
some copper in his pocket ; he consequently sent fe & policeman , and gave him into custody . It was shewn by hia mother , that he had never brought * bj of euher the tea or coffee home , nor was the is all aware that he was guilty of any thing ot the kind ; it -was the first time that any thing ** i &eea alleged against him . The magistrates , d « wishing to send him lo the House of Correction , * nd Mr . Kettlewell not desiring to prosecute for the felony , he was ordered to be whipped and disaarged .

BABHSLXr ? . —Gulfit Explosiok . —One of ihe most awful and distressing accidents that ever took , place in this town , or it ever fell to oar lot to xeesrd , happened about half-past six o ' clock on Monday morning . Just as the men got to their work at Mr . TwibelTs colliery , a fire-damp explosion took place , and no les * than fifteen of our fellow creatures were burned to death , and five more are only just alive . The alarm and excitement that have been created in the town and neighbourhood , it is impossible to describe . At an early hoar the bank at the pit was covered with thousands of people , all anxious to ascertain ths fate of the unfortunate sufferer * . This mournful catastrophe has filled the whole town and neighbourhood with p \ nnm : An / ftfi *
distress of the relations and friends of the onfortnnate victims i& beyond all description agonizing . The deprivation to them will be truly grievous and irreparable ; and we trust some public effort will be made to soften , bo much as sympathy and charity can Boften , its sad effects . Fifteen bodies in all have been got oat of the pit , quite dead , their names being as follow : —Three of the name of Hinchcliffe—an uncle and hig two nephews . James Deacon and his son , a grown up youth . Walker , ( who has left a Wife and child J . Scholey , and Mitchell . There is something particularly touching in this latter man ' s case ; he had broutnt three bodies to the pit-bottom , and was in search of a fourth , when he fell a sacrifice to the dreadful and subtle dement and his own
exertions . Three brothers of the name of Walton , and a fourth not likely to recover . Thompson , Schofield , Pease , and M'Carty , the latter an Iron lad , literally roasted . The depth of the pit , which we are informed us but badly ventilated , is about 180 yards ; and though several rumours are current as to the cause of the explosion , bnt little of a very certain character can yet be said of it . All , however , agree that it originated in one of the men going with a candle into an unsafe part of the pit for his tools . The concussion was heard and felt too at an immense distance . It was like the report of a field of artillery , and shook down a wall near the pit . A young man named Walton was blown out of the eorre , whilst descending the shaft , and literally dashed to pieces ; whilst , singular to relate , two
others who were descending with him escaped with but little injury . This was the first time he had attempted to go down to his work since being severely burnt about three weeks ago . One of the most singular traits of this distressing accident , was the preservation of two of the boys descending in the eorve before adverted to . Although actually blown Oat of the corve , they dropped into it again as it went down ; whilst , as we nave stated , their poor companion fell to the bottom and was killed . So abundant and overpowering was the baleful vapour which occasioned this dreadful calamity , that it was observed to issue from the shaft-mouth for full three minutes after the explosion . An inquest was held on the bodies on Tuesday , and a verdict of Accidental death" was returned .
ETTJIiL . —Public Mtcbtikg at the Towm-Hall . In compliance with a requisition , signed by 124 householders , a large proportion of whom are voters , the Mayor has appointed a meeting to be held in the Town-Hall , at one o ' clock , on Monday , the 6 th of December , to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament to take into consideration the present defective state of the representation of these kinddomsin the Commons' House of Parliament , with a view to its amendment . A soiree will be holden in the evening , at the Freemason ' s Lodge .

ROCHDALE . DEMONSTRATION IN HONOUR OF PEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . On Tuesday last , the above demonstration took place , and the display made on the occasion of the moral power of ths people baa proved that the men of Rochdale are not last in ahowing their love for liberty , and their nttarhment to O'Connor , for bis firm adherence to toe principles of Universal Liberty , aad justice to the whole human family . E&rly in the morning , groupi began to arrive at the Chutist Association-room from various auaoiioding districts . As the hoar appointed for the meeting began te drav near , the anxiety of the people became intense . Parties were in waiting at the Railway station to convey the intelli gence cf bis arrival to the Committee appointed to
carry oat the demonstration . At the hour of twelve o ' clock at noon , a carriage and four drove up to the station , accompanied by the two marshals , and a great npnber of tbe friends of oar c ^ use , who , upon the arrival of Mr . O'Connor , formed into pro cam ion ; and , beaded by tbe " » " «> t » » and the powerfol band of the Caartieti Aaodation , proceeded down Duke-street to the place ef meeting in the Bntts . There were several very beautiful nags in tbe procession—one from Todmorden in fwtunlar , a silk one , with the representa tion of a bee-hive in tbe centre—on the reverse , a furious boll , pursuing a nest of Bishop aristocrats , and other wholesale plunderers of tbe people . On the arrival of the carriage at the place of meeting , Mr . O'Connor waa greeted with tremendous cheering , which lasted several miDutes .
Hz . Ssorgk Howe , jeweller and watchmaker , was called on to preside . Mr . John Leech moved a resolution to tbe following effect : — That in the opinion of this meeting all the poverty sad dertitutio * which at present afflict the manufacturing classes of this country is the Tetutt of class legis lation , and that the only ; remedy will be , to make the People ' s Charter the l » w of tbe land ; and that this Sleeting agree sgsln to petition tbe Boose ef Commons immediately to plaos tbe Charter upon the Statute book ; and that this meeting pledge themselves never te rest until the whole of tbe people are taken tdthin the pale of the constitution . " The res » lution was seconded by Mr . Jos . Linnet .
Mr O'Coxnob then rose and made a brilliant speech , which was loudly cheered , but for which we havs not room . We UBdeistand , however , that his unmerciful flagellation of ths Sur . newspaper , for a leading article on Monday Isst , wherein the monster directs , the incendiaries' attention to Buckingham Palace and the Museum , was responded to by cheers and " bravo FeaTgwu , " which lasted for Beveral minutes . The distinction made by O'Connor , between an innocent snd unoffending woman and an irresponsible monarch , was very beautiful Upon the whole , he gave the " firebrand press" a tremendous caitigatioc . Thus writes our correspondent . We regret not having space for Mr . O'Connor ' s adoirable Epeeeh . . The meeting was attended by several thousands , who showed by their conduct that their motto was " Peace , law , order , " and that they will never be satisfied with anything less than their just and legitimate rights .
At the conclusion of the meeting a procession was formed , and proceeded throagh the principal streets , accompanied by the band , flags , &c Mr . O'Connor was saluted from the windows of several friends of the cause , as the carriage preceded through the streets , with tokens of respect and esteem . The procession finally accompanied Mr . O'Connor to Mr . Tweed&le ' s Hotel , Ballie-strett , where he was again greeted with loud and enthusiastic cheering .
TEA PAKTT IX THE EVEM 5 G . At five o ' clock , the hour appointed for the public tea party , the Temperance Inititution , adjoining the Theatre , was beautifully decorated with banners , flags , tnottos , and devices bfelongiDg to the association , when upwards of 400 sat duwn io tea . On Mi . O'Conno * entering tbe room , by "was greeted with loud cheeks . The party eDjoyed themselves in mirth and harmony until the hour appointed for the public meeting in the Theatre . LoDg before tbe hour appointed the Theatre was crowded to suffocation , and numbers weat away unable te obtain admission . Mr . GEOfiGE Howe was again called to tbe chair . The first toast cf tie evening was " The People , the Bouree of all legitimate power , " which was responded to by Mr . James Tatlor , in a very neat speech .
TJ' 6 Chaikma . n then gave " The People ' s Charter , and may it soon become tbe law of tbe land . " " Mr . Thomas Livsey was calied on to respond . He p'dd he was glad the committee had selected that subject for him to respond to , for he firmly believed that tb-u o-nntry would EtTer be justly legislated for until the principles of that Charter became law . Under our present system of legislation we had every kind of property legislated for except labour . The Landowners , the East and West India Proprietors , the Church , and the Law , had each their representatives , and each was protected , and by their political power were enabled to extract a great amount of wealth out of the labour of the people ; but if labour was ) epresented the system ¦ s oalil ht put an end to . ( Hear , sear , and cheers . )
[ At this stage of the proceedings the harmony of the meeting was in some degree interrupted by a Tory churchwarden , who appeared to be in a state of intoxicaton . He vras appealed to on his impropriety , and shortly afte : wardB took his departure ] The speaker proceeded—There is now a plan ef emigration proposed to remove the present unemployed portions of tbe community . If tbe Government wanted to remove any of the useless classes of this country , let them begin by emigratdDS all tbe Bishops , parsons , aristocrats , lawyers , aad othei pests of society—( load cheers)—whose only labour is to live on the best of the land , aad to be planning how to wring another farthing from the starving operative . If we bad at tbe present time a great Dumber of unemployed labourers , they should look at the cause , which was owing to excessive
taxation , by which tbe starving people are prevented from purchasing the goods of the manufacturers , and thereby giving increased employment He was sorry that the town of Rochdale was to-morrow to be pieced under the power of the Rural Police ; it was a diagnce to the Tory party , who had petitioned for them , and thereby stamped their character with infamy . He called upon the people to siagle cut tbe parties who had signed tbe memorial tor their introduction , and if they dared to come before the public , to m&tk such infamy by every means within their power . He thought that Rochdale , above all other places , ought to be exempt from such as nncoDStitntional force , for they had shewn themselves capable of managing their own & 8 ki » , by sending to Parliament a man who was an honour both to them and the country which gave bin birth . But their introduction was the result of disappoicte party

motives , and the people wonld never forget tbe party that had caused their introduction . The act will be the jnetkoa irf iwinftiflatftig the last hopes of a faction that have ever distinguished themselves by crushing tbe liberties ^> f the people . Mr . Livsey resumed his aeat amidst protracted cheering . ; The next tout waa " Frost , Williams , and Jones , and may they speedily be restored to the bosom of their disconsolate families . " Mr . Joseph Linnet responded In a very feeling and affectionate manner .
Mr . John Leach then presented an address to Mr . O'Connor , which he did in a complimentary speech . An address , was also presented by Mrs . Sarah Ashworth , oh hchalf of th * females of Rochdale . Mr . O'Cohnob , inwply , addressed the araembly for upwards of an hear , in a speech replete with g lowing eloquence , convincing argument , and deep pathos , which was only interrupted by tbe enthusiastic cheers of his auditory . The concluding toast was " The Lancashire witches , " which was responded to by ^ Mr . Thomas Cook , in a short and hamorou speech which was well received . At the conclusion of Mr . O'Connor's speech , he called upon all tbe persons in the meeting to come forth and join the Association , and appointed Mr . J , Livsey treasurer tot the M'Douall Fund .
After the meeting , the band struck up , and dancing commenced , which was kept tip to a late hour , to toe evident gratification of the youthful portion of tbe meeting . Thus concluded one of the ' most orderly meetings ever held in this town , and it cannot fall to be beneicial to oar rightful cause . — — — — — — j-i-niiMji p * J > rt ^^^^ B ^^ a ^^^ i ^ ii mi ri ¦ ¦ ¦ * -a—a ^ ^ i ' i f ft mi

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD MAYOR OP DUBLIN . MT LOSD , MAI IT PLEASE TOUR LOHDSHIP , —I should have presumed to address you a few days past , had I not felt a dalicacy ia trespassing on your valuable time , a . t a period ¦ when yon must have had ample employ ment in receiving the « flice and honours of civic dignity , to which vou have been lately exalted ; but as the excitement and bustle consequent upon sneb an occasion are , by this time , I should hope , greatly abated , and your Lordship 1 b now beginning to feel yourself at home in your new quarters , I may , as an Irishman , be permitted to ask—was it indispensible
that tbe man whom the people of Ireland so long confided in as a friend and a patriot , should accept the office of Chief Magistrate for the City of DabJin ? or was it merely to enjoy a triumph over the fallen faction whom you displaced ? If the latter , I will only say I do not euvy you your glory ; but if the former , I ask , of what benefit to Ireland will be your acceptance of such an office ? Will the cause of Repeal gain anything by such a course ? I rathtr think that many por-8 OU 8 will take example by your Lordship , and be Repealers in private , but not in public .
My countrymen have evtr been too credulous aud Confiding , Mid this yon ? Lordship has had many proofs of ; they have ever given you eredit for consistency , without evsn inquiring whether you merited it j but they must be blind indeed , if they cannot now see you in your proper colours ; for not content with the many thousands of pounds which they voluntarily contributed to enrich yon , you covetted the paltry toys of office , and to procure them " registered a vow" that no man should know yeur political opinions . Now , my Lord , I have no objection to your silence , or to your office ; nor do I begrudge you tbe honour of feastirig on venison presented by the office / of a Tory Government ; but I do feel hurt to s ^ -e my fellowcountrymen made the willing tools of your cupidity an » ambition .
There is one thing , however , which gives me a great deal of pleasure , and which I have no doubt -will gratify your Lordship exceedingly ; namely , as you bav ^ been heretofore outrageously violent in your denunciations of Chartists , and would by every possible means attack toe character of " Torch and dagger men , " to show that yeu have now tbe opportunity to examine , and the power to punish , Bhould you find any such within your jurisdiction ; that you have tbe will to do bo there can be little doubt ; therefore , if we find no convictions amongst the seven hundred honest Chartists of Dublin , you will be obliged to admit that Chartism is not so " terrible a thing" as your Lordship has taken ao much pains to represent it .
I have no doubt your Lordship will keep your promise as resptcts your sllenco on political matters , but have no wish , save to furnish you with a few hints occasionally , which your Lordship can either muse upon in your easy chair , or reserve until heaven releases you from the solemn engagement y *> u have so voluntarily made . I have tbe honour to be , Your Xordship ' s most obedient , Humble Servant , W . H . CLIFTOK . Bristol , 74 , West Street

A TRIP TO NOTTINGHAMSHIRE . Invited to visit Nottingham , Sutton-in-Ashfleld , and Mansfield , and accepting the invitation , I left Sheffield at two o ' clock on Wednesday , Nov . 17 th , taking the train ( or rather tbe train taking me ) to Derby ; a bard frost the previous night 2 i £ d dried the streams , covered tbe earth with its wintry mantle of white , and made the atmosphere piercing cold , i ( ball not pretend to give a description of my ride to Derby—enough that about a ^ quarter to four o ' clock we reached tbe station at Belper , and now I began to foel myself at home , the country was not new to me ; but though I bad travelled the road several times between Derby and Belper , I could scarcely believe mj senses when , after a few minutes' rapid whirl the weii-remembercd pleasant little village ot Duffle id glided ( apparently ) by me , a few minutes more , aad Derby "hove in sight" There was the town where I had while yet a boy braved per-

secution , and in Brandretb'fl death cell bad laid me down nightly on my prl » on bed of « tn « to dream of tbe future When ty » nny « honia wither «* 4 die , and equality , freedom , and justice leign Man * sovereign of a liberated world . In that town where thoiemusingfl of enthusiasm were nurtured , which at a « ubeequent period found Tent in speech , and brought down npon hie the denunciation of epes enemies , and the Blander of pretended bat false friends , I was called madman , fool , traitor , 4 c . &c . And why ? because I' spoke what I felt " O , could I feel what I nave felt , or be what I have been ! "
s » ya t&e poet ; but , tk » t nay not be;—tii a bard lesson to learn , to a young beart beating with tbe love of truth , that " language was intended net to express bat to conceal man's thoughts ; " but 'Us a lesson that all most learn , and all most mote of less act upon . Talleyrand baa been denounced m a monster for giving expression to the above sentiment ; he was a monster , no doubt , but he was but a little monster ; the great tyrannic monster is society , that practically proclaims sod enforces tbe above rule . Am I asked , do I act upon thatmie ? I answer , yes ! for I do not now speak all that I feeL I feel more than tongue or pen can tell—much more t ' In that town of Derby I once had friends" friends of my youth , " perhaps by them I am now forgotten . Bit why pursue the subject further ! the recollections of the past are painful , and if they recall a few gleams of sunshine , they serve bat to render the
darkness of disappointment more visible . We reached tike Derby Station about ten minutes past four o ' clock—that station with its innumerable offices and rooms of refreshment—its gas Illuminationits scores of carriages and engines—tbe countless throng intent on business , pleasure , or other pursuits , that fill its walks In one twenty-four hours—la one of tbe proudest trophies of man ' s skill and labour to be found , probably , In any part of the world . But a murderous social , ot rather anti-aocial , system poisons alL The men whose ingenuity and toil have here made beauty and solidity to everywhere greet the eye—whose right arms here have wrought that wbiob to be appreciated rcust be seen—these men , nature ' s nobility , are treated as outcast Pariahs by those who profit by their toil ; even on these railways , these " modern improvements " on the old system of travelling , your " third class passenger" is treated worse than the dog of the aristocrat , —and why ? Because be is poor 1
" How long by tyrants shall the earth be tvod 1 How long thy people trampled on , O God t" . I had hoped to have been able to have spent an bom in Derby , bdfc finding , unless I took the first train , I could not leave until half-past seven , I had no alternative but to proceed .- Accordingly at half-past feur I left Derby in the train for Nottingham . I sat next a geatleman , whom , entering into conversation with , I found much opposed to the railway system of travelling , on the ground that the " third class passengers " were treated with neglect and insult . Finding ourselves agreed on this point , the conversation turned upon the present state of the country and public affairs generally . I found my new acquaintance to be a bitter foe of the aristocracy and a stanch Corn Law repealer . The Chartists , of course , came in for their share of abuse for oppssing the philanthropic schemes of the cheap bread
gentry , my acquaintance expressing bis conviction that the Chartist leaders were In the pay of the Toriec . Taking no notice of this last absurdity , I set about showing him the impossibility of the middle classes carrying a repeal of the Corn Laws unless aided by the working men , I justified the conduct ot the Chartists In st&ndipg out for political enfranchisement , and I flatter myself made him half if not wholly a convert He admitted that the suffrage was the right of the people , but feared it w « nld only be obtained by bloodshed ; that I showed him was a Tain fear ; that would the middle class honestly join the people , the Charter would be made the law without the shedding of a drop of blood , or ths loss of a single life . He assented but doubted if tb « middle elasss would join the people ; bnt added , that sure he was Reform must come , or Revolution would come . Having reached Nottingham we parted .
At eight o ' clock , I addressed a crowded meeting in the democratic chapoL I was most heartily received , and shall long remember with pleasure , the kindness with which I was treated by the Whlg-liatlug Chartists of Nottingham . The cause is steadily progressing ; the worst obstacle is the extreme poverty of the working classes , but where men ' s hearts are right this difficulty maybe surmounted . Justice demands that I should here pay a passing compliment to that honest patriot James Sweet , who is regarded as the life and soul of the movement in Nottingham . He baa the universal confidence of the people . Long m » y he enjoy what he so well deserves .
Thursday , left Nottingham per coach for Mansfield , on my way to Button ; our road lying through a part of tbe far-famed Sherwood forest , the scene of the exploits of that immortal king of good fellows , " bold Robin Hood . " I was not aware until too late , that at one point of the road I was within a mile of Newstead Abbey , had I been aware of this in due time , nought should have hindered me treading the " holy ground , " sacred to liberty ' s noblest bard . But on my next vtstt , I will atone tor my past offence—nothing shall then prevent tue worshipping at the poet ' s shrine .
Reaching Mansfield I found certain friends waiting niy arrival ; in their company I proceeded to Sntton . At seven o ' clock I addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting in the Hope Inn , Mr . Joseph Alvcy in the chair ; I must do the men of Sntton the justice of saying , that of all the men I have met with is England , they appear to me to be the most determined im < t hearty in tbe cause . They nobly supported the first Convention , and had all England been liko Sutton , the Charter would then have been law , but such was not the case . Well , have the men of Sutton allowed this to damp their spirits , or destroy their euergiea ? No ; on the contrary they are now , ns before , in the van ot tbo democratic army , steadily extending their organisation , collecting funds , and procuring signatures te the petition . God speed them , ia my prayer , and may the men of every other locality reading this— " go and do likewise . "
Friday , went to Mansfield ; I here found that our " old friend with anew faca , " Mr . Murray , of Manchester , late of Liverpool , wan to lecture uie same evening on " Corn Law Repeal . " Mr . Murray ' s visit was very fortunate , as the Cuorliats not having a room where they could hold a large meeting , had intended to have called the people together in the Market-plat ^; thia owing to tho state of the weather and extremn cold , was imposBib' . o . as such I agreed with the Council to summon cur fritnda to hear Mr . Murray . They needed little suimriuuing , aud by halfpast seven , the room ( large and commodious ) waa well filled with Chartists and Corn Law Repealers . Mr . Hamilton proposed that Mr . Dut' . on , a Chartist , should take the chair , some person proposed another gentleman , whose naino 1 did r . ot catch . A show of hands was taken , when by a sweeping majority the Chartist chairman ira elected .
Mr . M urray then delivered his lecture , upon Which I need »^ y nothing . I then replied , and after speaking about half an hour , moved the adoption of the following resolution : — " That while this meeting consider the existing Corn Liw to bo unjust and oppressive , and one that ought to be erase t from the statute book , thay are also of opinion that tbe 6 ai < l law is hutoue of tbe numberless evils cm < l « rr which the working classes labour , the result or ciui-s-iegiKiation ; atul tliis meeting pledges itself to acitatc fer no measure of reform short of the People ' s Charter . " Mr . Murray moved the following crafty amendment : " That the Corn itnd Provision Laws are uDjust and ought to be repealed . "
About fcfty nands were held np for tho amendment , and from two hundred and fifty to three hundred for the original motion . Three cheers for O'Connor , three for the Welsh martyrs , and throe for the Charter and no surrender , closed the triumph of the good men and true . List Saturday ' s Star exhibited the awful distress prevalent in Mntisflehl—need I add tJiat circumstances aro doing what avgument failed totff ; ct—and tho " good old cause ' moves on . The services of Mr . Dean Taylor , as county lecturer , have been productive of immense good . Mr . Taylor is -warmly respected by tho Nottinghamshire Chartiats , and his highly successful labours will entitle him ts thatr eat « t . m .
Satarday , I returned to Sfit-ffleld . One word with Mr . O'Connor . The Nottingham Chartists are most anxious , to know when be will visit their good town . As one of the first places to rally round the banner of Radicalism at his call , five years ago—they think they should uot , and I am sure they will not , be forgotten . GEORGE JULIAN HaHNE * .

THE ENGLISH CHARTIST CIRCULAR . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir —It rejoices my soul to sse another number of the Chartist Circular , which , from its tardy arrival this last week at this sink or ce-s-pocl of Toryism , I had begun to fear had gone to that bourn from which only the immediate energy of our Chartist brethren can rescne it I do , however , solemnly trust that they will not suffer this real catastrophe to happeri . I should regard the circumstance as . a just and general misfortune—a deep and melancholy shade thrown over the otherwise bright path of political regeneration . Every working man in the whole breadth of the land should carry the Chartist Circular In his bosom , and read it to his dear wife and children at his meats . It is printed and composed for bis benelt , and should be worn next his heart .
I hare pondered much on the , tome , solemn notice addressed "To the Chartists generally , " in No . 40 , warning thim of the critical situation of the Circular , and do trust it will be responded to in a manner worthy of men united in the < sacred cause of freedom . I do fervently trust that the Chartist brethren of the United Kingdom will carry it triumphantly through its present Unassured course , and I have great satisfaction In stating that , on my reading the appeal referred to above , and tbe remarks connected with it , and the letter of our Chartist brother which precedes it , to the Committee of the Chartists here , they readily and unanimously resolved to adopt his suggestion , to take a dozen

copies weekly , for discretional and gratuitous distribution . ' ' . Supposing , Mr . Editor , the National Charter Association to extend at this time over 250 towns , If each locality would agree tV take a dozen copies for general use , this would call for 3 , 000 copies ; and if the promiscuous sale in the same towns were only eight copies in addition , this Would make the demand to be 5 , 000 , that Is , 250 multiplied by 20 , which I trust would prove a remunerating number ; bat if otherwise , I would recommend that at the end of the present volume or section , it were raised to a penny , which I am assured no real Chartist would object to .
Let as make a simultaneous national movement to place tbe Chartist Circular in a situation Of prosperity , and to afford its meritorious editor that satisfaction , in regard to its publication , which hie labours and hia outlay of capital justly entitle him to . * Respectfully and sincerely yours , A CHABTIST . Liverpool , Monday , Nov . 15 th , 1841 .

ATTACK UPON MR . LOWERY , THE CHARTIST MISSIONARY , AND MR . pHEISTOPHBR COYNE , OF CAPEL-STREET , DUBLIN .
TO THB EDITOR OF THE NOBTHEE * STAB . Sir , —Mr . Coyne called upon me and complained of having h | s name Included , amongst the names of the party who made tbe brual attack upon Mr . Lo very , In Henry-street , in August , 1889 , and for which , they received tbe marked approbation of the Lord Lieutenant and the thanks of Mr . O'ConnelL He said that he was in the room when the attack was made upon Mr . Lowery , but that he did his utmost to prevent it , and to obtain a hearing for- Mr . Lowery , by whispering to
those over whom he thought he had influence , not to beat Mr . Lowery , but to heat him . The reason why he did not speak out was , that he did not wish his name to appear before the public at the time . He says he is a . Chartist in principle , and ia therefore desirous to relieve himself from the charge which appeared , in the Northern Star of the 13 th instant Patrick O'Biggins .

THE CROWN AND ANCHOR ADDRESS TO O'BRIEN . Webave received , on this subject , a letter from Mr . Watkins , which we think it right to publish , and which is the last we mean to publish on the matter . Mr . Watkins Bays : — , . .: M XO THE BD 1 T 0 B OP THB HO&THBBK STAB . " Sill , —My friends in London have pressed me , very much against niy own inclination , to notice several misrepresentations that have lately appeared in the Star . I am so accustomed to . these things that they have no effect upon me ; bnt my friends say that they may take effect against me . in quarters where the facts are not known . Well , then , in reference to the O'Brien address . I , as Secretary to his Committee , in London , was appointed to draw up that address , which was adopted by the Committee , and became the address of the Committee . In my capacity of reporter to the
Committee , 1 forwarded the address in an isolated form to the Star . How it came to be inserted in the report of the Crown and Anchor meeting , yon , Mr . Editor , have already explained . It was not my business , bub the business of the Reporter to ihe Star to report what took place at the Crown and Anchor ; in hU absence , a friend did it for him it appears . I was appointed to read the address to Mr . O'Brien , and to present it to him , when , on reading it , I got to tbe passage " There never was a press , &c" Several individuals objected to it , npon which Mr . O'Brien rose to check me ; bat as the general applause of the meeting overbore the individual objections , I proceeded to the « ad , mindless of the interruption that had takes place . The address was not put to the meeting , nor presented to Mr . O'Brien , therefore he could not , as M . r . Nagle is made to nxy , tear it to pieces . Tbe address was a verbatim copy of the one adopted by the Committee .
¦' To every wordintheobjected passage of that address , I stand . Time nor circumstance has not yet allowed any press to represent the interests of working men in their fullest extent . Lst tbe emphasis be laid where it was meant to be , and no honest mind will object to the passage . " A reflection has been cast on the O'Brien Committee for convening the Crown and Anchor meeting on the same Evening that a benefit for Carrier was to take place . The Committee , as they were in duty bound to do , merely acted in accordance with O'Brien ' s instructions , -who himself fixed that evening , unknowing of Carrier ' s benefit ; and there was no time to apprize him of it Both places were Siled ; those , therefore , who complain most must bo fond of complaining .
