Stkekb at Hbt ^ tet Iron Woeks . —A considerable degree of alarm was created in Merthyr Tydvil , on Monday night last , by an express arriving , requiring the presence of Wm . Thomas , Esq . ( a magistrate of the place , ) and the newly established police force . It appears that a general strike of the workmen had taken place , and that the whole of the works had eonsequeniiy stopped . All sorts of rumours were in circulation , that rioting Had takes place , and * that the workmen were abont t-o proceed to Merthyr Tydvil , abont three miles distant , to canse a stoppage of the works there , and also to Treecgar and Nanbyglo in another direction with a like intention . As yet there is no truth in them , and upon dns en- j quiry , find that every thing is quiet , bat every thing \ is at a stand . It is generally supposed that the strike hie arises from the great redaction which hare lately been made in the workmen ' s wages . These !
reductions hare been enormous , and coupled with the . discharge of Tast numbers , is creating a fearful state of things in the densely and hitherto prosperously-peopled district . Many families are in a state of the greatest destitution , without food , and msay thousands of th ° za very far from their parish *? . la the foil tide of railway speculation and prosperity of the iron trade , there was not a sufficiency of people to be had , and there waB plenty of work for every one . But the ri verse is the case at present , and the prospect for the ensuing winter is of the gloomiest kind . There is a notice for redaction again in almost the whole of the works in the parish of Merthyr . What will become of tke poor workmen it is impossible to guess . Should anything take place between this and the end of the week , I will not fail to write again . —Correspondent .

An Old Fool . —On Monday last , an aged man whogave his name Joseph Fenton , and said be Game from ToDg , appeared * t the Court House to support a charge of robbery against a nymph of the pave , named Sarah Howarth . Fenton stated that he came to Leeds on Saturday , and abont nine o ' clock in the evening he met with the prisoner and three or four others in the Calls ; they asked him to give them some gin , to whieh he consented , and went to a dram shop for that purpose . He sat with them some time , and when he got np to go away , the prisoner and one of the other girls followed him into the street , where
each of them seized an arm to prevail upon him to give them some more drink—he refused and they left him , when he almoBt immediately missed his purse and money , two sovereigns and about thirty shillings 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 his mind , and ewore stiffly that Howarth had got it . No money , however , was found , and it being evident that he had told two different tales , the prisoner was discharged . We guess he will mind better another time .

KeXGHXiEV . —Easter Dobs . —The war with the new Rector against the inhabitants for the recovery of Easter Dues , still progresses . Two more victims , Mk John Lister and Mr . John Butterfield , are on the list , destined to bave their goods taken from their houses , unless they pay the tax to the State Church . Today ( Wednesday ) , being what is commonly called Justice meeting , these two individuals made their appearance according to the order of the summonses , to shew cause why they refused to pay . They informed the magistrates and the Rector , who was present , that as men who wanted nothing from the State Church , they thought it ought , in common honesty , to let them alone . They also observed , that as they had never paid anything of the kind before , they were entirely ignorant of the nature of the demand ,. and thought that , as it was at best a questionable concern , they ought to
satisfy them by reading over the law on the subject . W . Ellis , Esq ., Chairman of the meeting , accordingly read something out of a book handed to him by the clerk , about an Act passed in the reign of William III ., for the better recovery of small tithes , offerings , oblations , obventions , &o . After the reading of this piece of stuff , which appeared to contain nothing about the case on hand , the magistrates gave their verdict , as a matter of coutbo , in favour of the Rector , and told the parties to cash up , or take the consequences . The Rector then got up , quite satisfied with the decision of the Bench , and whilst walking towards the door , had his ears saluted with a regular hiss from the crowd . The two viotims , who are thus marked oat as examples of the power of the Church , are honest , industrious men , and , like the two before , of Chartist principles .
BUDDEKSFIELD . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . West , the West-riding lecturer , gave a lecture in the association room , Upperhead-row , to an over-Sowing audience . He gave great and universal satisfaation . His principle text was the decreeing of unrighteous decrees against the poor . He handled the subject with a masterly hand , and made very great impressions , not very favourable to the powers that be . At the conclusion , an elderly gentleman , rose , who , by the bye , iB a local preacher , and exclaimed that" if ever he heard a true Gospel sermon preached in the whole course of his life , he had heard one that night . " Indeed the lecturer proved himself well versed in Scripture .
The League Again . —On Monday last , our Philosophical Hall was crowded to excess , to hear the great gun of the anti-Corn Law League ; indeed the very name of Col . Thompson was sufficient of itself to attract great numbers , he being well known as a pubio character . He had proved himself too honest for the factions , both Whig and Tory ; and it ia very much to be regretted that euch a man as the Colonel should be found in company with a set of political Whig quacks , supporting and puffing their political nostrums ; but it " was no go f indeed , the Colonel himself was obliged to acknowledge that the cause of all our national grievances , was the usurping of our political rights by the most villanous of all monopolies , the monopoly of legislation , and that all good and virtuous men wonld go for the removal
of the cause . The Colonel found out it was no easy matter to answer the variety of plain and simple questions put to him by plain and simple men , whom he found were too mneh awake to the sophistry and finesse of those who now claim the superior learning , and the Colonel , in this respect , tried his best in various ways , but found it would not do ; & plain simple question without a positive answer , caused him to feel his situation , and he seemed to yield under it . A question was asked , would they sign the National Petition , if the Chartists would sign the anti-Corn Law ! No , was the reply . The meeting concluded b y giving a vote of thanks , and three cheers to the Colonel , Btating that they were glad to see him at Hudderafield , believing that he had oome with good intentions .
huio .. —Mr . Stallwood lectured on the distress of the country and the remedy for the same , on Monday evening . A large concourse of people assembled in the large Freemason ' s Lodge , Mytongate . Mr . Webster was called to the chair . Mr . Stallwood was greeted with the most hearty acclamations . He addressed the audience at considerable length , contrasting wealth and want—investigated in a bold , clear , and lucid manner , our" wellbalanced" constitution—and pointing to the Charter as a remedy , he concluded his lecture amid the loudly expressBed approbation of all present .
BKVERLET . —Mr . Stallwood addressed a public meeting at the Pack Horse Inn , Market-place , at seven o ' clock on Tuesday evening . The large room of the above inn was densely crowded : Mr . John White was called to the chair . It was agreed that an address be presented to her Majasty congratulating her on her safe delivery , praying the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , the liberation of political victims , and the adoption of the Charter . OLDHAM . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . Henry Smethurst gave a most energetic and soul-stirring lecture in the Chartist Room , Greaves-Btreet , in which be depicted the extravagances of the Roval
household ; contrasting it with the degradation , misery , and starvation of the labouring classes ; all of which evils the lecturer attributed to class legislation , and the only permanent remedy that eould be applied for the removal of these ettls was the People ' s Charter being made the basis of the Constitution . To acquire this great object , he urged his hearers , both male and female , to join the National Chirter Association , to lay aside all religious prejudices and examine for themselves , and they would find that religion and politics must go hand in hand . This was the doctrine of the Wora of God . The lecture was listened to with great attention , and the crowded audience went away highly delighted .
MANCHESTER .- ©! , Sunday evening , the Chartists who formerly worshipped at Tib-street on Sunday evenings , « pened their New Room , which was attended very numerously , and Mr . Duffy delivered an excellent lecture . On the same evening Mr . Griffin lectured on the Cora Uwb , the policy of the leagHe , and the conduct of masters in making reductions , and gave great satisfaction . Mr . Cartledge , after speaking very highly of the lecturer , moved the following resolution , which was carried unanimously :- * That we , the Chartists of Brownstreet , having attended the meetings of Manchester and neighbourhood , where the reporter of the Slar has been present , and having afterwards read the reports in the Star , deolare , so far as they have been inserted , they have been oorwet : and we throw W . k
tbo attempt « f thoBe who are endeavouring to injure the Star , and impugn the veracity of the reporter " BUBTOH-UPOH-TREWT .-On Sunday last , the Chartists of Barton paid a visit to the poor man ' s church , in Redwood Forest , to bear a sermon from the Rev . Humphry Price . The text was taken from the thirteenth chapter ef Proverbs , and the twenty-third Terse ; the words are— Muoh food is in the tillage of the poor , but there is that is des -troyed for want of judgment . " The sermon gave general satisfaction . All declared that they never heard sueh a sermon before . The weather was very unfavourable ; but the Burton Chartists are determined to continue their visits to the poor man ' s church , despite wind or weather ; and they hopo that every poor man in Burton will join them in snpponing the only poor man ' s church , and fill the empty seats which are deserted by their enemies ,

ASHTON . —Discussion bktwbkm thr Chartists and the Cobn Law RfiPEALBBS . —The Committee of the Charter Association of this town , and the Committee of the Anti-Corn' Law Association , have had it in contemplation , for the last six weeks , to make arrangements for a discussion between the Chartists and Corn Law repealers of Manchester , on the subject of the Corn Law * . Last week the terms were agreed upon , and the town placarded , announcing two night ' s discussion , on Monday and Tuesday evenings . The Chartists sent an invitation to Mr . Bell , of Salford , and Mr . Griffin , to take the Chartist view of the question . The other party invited Messrs . Watkins , CulverweH , Rawson , and Butch , as their champions . On Monday evening
agreeably to the notice , the hard hands , unshorn chins , and fustains , assembled in large numbers in the Charlestown meeting-room . Mr . Smith was chairman for the Corn Law party , and Mr . Woodjoff for the Chartists , and Mr . Spencer nmpire . Each Chairman hoped they would give every speaker a fair and impartial hearing , and that neither approbation nor disapprobation would bo shown . After the reading of the placard , and Btating the terms , Mr . Culverwell was called upon to open the question , for which he was allowed twenty minutes . The speaker then went through a regular culled , prepared , cut , and dried speech , containing the old absurdities , which have been exploded and refuted scores of times . Mr . Bell occupied twenty minutes in reply , and upset every position of his opponent . Mr . Rawson , another of the Anti-Corn Law party , went exactly in the same strain as his colleague . Mr . Griffin cave wav to Mr . Littler , and
reserved himself till the second evening . Mr . L . supported the arguments brought forward by Bell manfully . Our readers will form some estimation how they went on when we inform them that Bell and Littler followed them up , quoting their own authority , and beat them upon their own ground , until they were driven so close into a corner as to deny that M'Culloch , Porter , and M'Queen were any authority , or any standard , to go by . Both Culverwell and Rawson , finding they were dead beat , would not acknowledge either of those three statistical writers , although they are quoted by all the lecturers and speakers upon the subject . The subject was well sifted , and has done muoh good to the movement for the Charter . A vote of thanks to the chairmen was moved by Mr . Bell , and seconded by one of the other party , and the meeting dispersed without any resolution , by giving three cheers for Feargus O'Connor .
Second Night ' s Discussion . —The discussion was resumed on Tuesday evening , before the same Chairman and umpire as on the previous evening . The discussion was carried on in excellent temper , and at the close a resolution , proposed and seconded by two working men , in favour of the People ' s Charter being the first step to be taken for the redress of all grievances , was unanimously carried . STOCKPORT . —On Friday evening last , Mr . Birtch , of Manchester , one of the anti-Corn Law lecturers , oame to this town to lecture to the Youths ' anti-Corn Law Association . Although it is called a Youth ' s Association , the greater number are men .
some forty , others fifty , and even as high as sixty years of age ! The Chartists mustered and elected their own Chairman by an overflowing majority , and rejected the self-elected Mr . Coppook . Town Clerk . This was xather too galling to be stood quietly ; and to obviate it , he called for the police to take Carter into custody . Birtch proceeded with his written lecture amid the laughter of the assembly ; and at the conclusion , Coppock gave htm a vote of thanks himself ; not daring to put it to the meeting . In the meantime , Carter was confined in an anti-room , guarded by two policemen , until he shivered with cold ; and in order to make up for the insult , when they released him , Coppock offered him a shilling .
Lecture . —Mr . . Clarke lectured here on Sunday evening last . Muoh enthusiasm was exhibited . Several new membere were enrolled . HALIFAX . —Devrat o * the u Plague . —The M Plague" men of Halifax have had Col . Thompson down for the purpose of " putting salt on the people ' s tail ; " but it was " no go . " Mr . West , the West Riding lecturer , tackled the gallant Colonel , and so pestered him with facts and figures that hi " salt" became quite ineffective . After a smart discussion , the following resolution was proposed by Mr . James Rawson , and seconded by Mr . John Crossland , " That this meeting is of opinion that a Repeal of the Corn Laws , accompanied by other just ana necessary measures is unattainable but by and
through a Radical Reform in the House of Commons , and this meeting p ledges itself not to assist in the agitation of any political question , save that of the enfranchisement of the whole people , and will never cease their efforts in the cause or right until the People ' s Charter shall become the law of the land . " The Chairman inquired if there was any amendment , but none appearing , he put the motiou , when the forest of handB that appeared was incalculable ; and , in a meeting of between two and three thousand , six hands were held up against it ! The Chairman declared it carried , amidst the most enthusiastic cheering . Cheers were then given for the Charter , for O'Connor and the forthcoming demonstration , for West , for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the meeting separated .

FEARGUS O'CONNOR AT BOLTON . Oa Wednesday , Mr . O'Connor visited this town , and had , according to the opinion ef all who had the pleasure of seeing and judging , one of the most numerous , orderly , and enthusiastic meetings ever held inside any building in the town . Towards evening groups were seen coming from all the surrounding districts ; many , as far as ten or twelve miles . At five o ' clock they began to flock into the Hall , until about six hundred had taken their seats for tea . Whilst preparations were being made , a quadrille band , which had been engaged for
the occasion , enlivened the assembly by playing some lively airs . The spacious Hall , buut by the Teetotallers , was Uluminated by four large chandeliers . The building is calculated to hold about 3 , 000 people . About half-past five o ' clock , the time for commencing , Mr . O'Connor , accompanied by the good and true , entered the room . He was met and greeted in such a manner as to baffle description . In a short time he ascended the platform , and was again cheered . The company men partook to satisfaction of ** the cup which cheers bat not inebriates . " This portion of the business being
over , Mr . O'CoNifOB advanced to the front of the platform and announced his intention to sit till eight o ' clock to enrol members , and particularly invited the ladies . Many names were enrolled , the majority of whom were Mr . O'Connor's own countrymen and country women—the number who took cards of membershipamounts to one hundred . Mr . Wbkmwick was then called to the chair , and the doors having been thrown open to the publie , the spacious room was soon crowded to exoess , hundreds being unable to obtain admission . Mr . Dixom moved the first resolution , as follows : — "That we weloome with unfeigned delight that Noble Patriot , Feargas O'Connor , Esq ., once more amongst us , after his imprisonment in the dungeon of a tyrannical Government . "
The resolution was seconded by Mr . Htslop , Draper , from Wigan , in a very humourous and sarcastic speech , which called forth the cheers of the audience . The resolution was carried amidst the most tremendous cheering , during which Mr . O'Connor rose , but it was some time before he could obtain silence

TO THE EDITOB OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir , —^ e Enumeration Committee will feel greatly obliged by your insertion of the following in your paper of Saturday next , in order to correct some inaccuracies whieh appeared in Mr . Rattray ' e letter of Saturday last , with respect to the dates of certain communications which passed between the Committee and the local authorities . Mr . Rattray has loft Leeds to work at Coventry , or he would have corrected those errors himself . The letter sent to J . D . Lucoock , Esq ., overseer ( in answer to one received from him , dated 18 th October ) although dated 19 th October , by dome means or other , was not put in the Post Office till the 21 st ,, and did not reach Mr . Luccock till the 22 nd .
Mr . Rattray also states that a deputation waited upon the Mayor subsequent to waiting upon Mr . Luccock ; but the fact is , they waited upon the Mayor on the 21 st October , and did not see Mr . Luccock till the 28 th . Mr . Luccock having waited npon the Committee on Tuesday evening last , and in the kindest and most gentlemanly manner pointed out the inaccuracies in Mr . Rattray ' s letter , they felt it to be their duty , in justice to Mr . Luccock , to give the above explanations ; as they have no desire to mislead the public in any respect , or to
come into collision with any of the local authorities ; their sole object throughout , and the whole of their inquiry has been , and is , ito benefit their distressed and suffering fellow operatives ; and , whenever they err in any of their statements , they are willing at all times , on these errors being pointed out , to retract them . Mr . Lucoock also entered into a friendly conversation with the Committee , as to the best means of affording immediate relief to the Buffering poor ; and , after each had explained their view of the subject , the following resolution was passed unanimously : —
" That John Speed and Wm . Cliff be appointed a deputation to deliver up the Enumeration Book immediately to Mr . Barr , on a condition agreed to by Mr . Luccock , that all oases which may be objected to by the Overseers , shall be submitted to the Enumeration Committee previously to the Overseers making their report to the Magistrates . " The Books are now in the hands of the authorities , and the Committee hope and trust that such use will be made of them as to benefit the distressed poor . Oa behalf of the Committee . ¦ John Speed , Chairman . Leeds , 25 th Nov ., 1841 .

Mr . Parker delivered an able discourse on the real character of the gospel , and the practical effect it was calculated to accomplish , which was listened to with the deepest attention . Mr . P . denounced the evils arising from hirelings and vicious parsons , together with their connection with publicans , pawnbrokers , police spies , and other idol drones , in bold and energetic language , and brought before his hearers the words of truth and soberness . A band of music was also in attendance , to whose gratuitous assistance the friends of Hunslet are much indebted . The music appeared to afford high satisfaction to a respectable and crowded audience .
Uppir Wobtley . —Mr . T . B . Smith preached here on Sunday afternoon to a most attentive audience . The ground only wants cultivating to yield an abundant harvest . Mr .

PEWBBURY . —The O'Connor Demonstration . This committee has been in an awkward situation on account of their being unable to provide a place of meeting for Mr .

would not let theft for ££ O to O'Connor ; but the Chartists of thia district , determined not to be defeated , have come to the determination to erect a place of their own . They have made an agreement with a carpenter to erect a large wood pavilion in Carrett ' s Croft , capable of holding upwards of 400 people . It ia intended to honour the noble patriot with a public procession , to start from the Marketplace , Dewsbury , at five o'clock in the afternoon , to proceed towards Heckmondwike , to meet Mr . O'Connor on his route from Halifax . Heckmondwike Chartists will accompany Mr . O'Connor to Dewsbury . Mr . O'Connor will address the people ; Mr .

Fellow Countrymen , —Oppressed as we are by the vicious institutions under which we have so long been used to suffer , it is clearly both our duty and our interest to make use of all the means in our povrer to secure our emancipation from that thraldom to whieh wear © subjected ; *> ad in order to do so we must get as many real representatives of the people as possible into the House of Commons : I think you will agree with me that by acting upon the following plan we could obtain our ^ ust " rights , even in spite of the boasted middle classes . Let two tenements of the annual value of £ & be taken of
the same landlord , by two Chartists , both to be secured in the name of the partteo , and the other ¦ feaing an fgJf ^»>* a ^ with him to become his rode * tenant .
