Mt Djeab akd onlt Fbibsds , —Various attempts hare been , made by the M<huEi&n " Starve Beggar" faction , ior the last six yeare , to destroy me first , and then to destroy yon , and your every hope of justice ; but I hare met them on the threshold and beaten them , under every disguise they have assumed . And now that they hare augmented their forces by a junction "with all the scattsred fragments of Whiggery , soma maudling old women cry out
u shanv , why denounce the new-fledged patriots Why not lie down and let them strengthen themselves for your destruction ? Be sure they are hoaestj -well-intentioned , and sincere . " Have I not traced them through their every coil , and unfolded the snakes to public view ! Have I not told jou that they ware moved by Joseph Home and his associates ! and now , in confirmation allow me to lay btfore you an extract from a letter which I have jast received from Montrose . I : is as follows : —
"Sir , —I have seen a small notice from Mr . Harrison , stating part of what ha had heard from Mr , Invert . a S ; ari not , Sir . I will go farther than Lovett . Yesterday week , after Joseph Hume was returned for these Barglis , I , as one of a deputation , waited upon him , to request of him to take charge cf our petition-sheets with 1 , 954 signatures , which I hope by this time the Convention have received . He kindly received us , and promised to support the six points , and will enter more into detail afterwards . He then began slap : —
" ' Vi e want to get a paper to supersede the Star ; to get rid of Feargus O'Connor , and all his hot-beaded followers . There are Lovett , Vincent , Hetherington , and Collins , and a good many more , -who are doing all they can to bring about that so much-needed object . ' " Ifow my hot-headed followers , I ask yon whether or not this extract brings the charge of treachery and conspiracy home against the intellectual CliartlsU ? And this 13 from Hume , that Malthusian s-ATve-beggar political economist free-trader ' . —one
of the camp followers of Whiggery , who supported the faction until he had pensioned his friends and relations upon the parings from the paupers' platter . These are the very fellows who have been the authors of all y onr misery , and who are morally , aye and legally , guilty of every act of desperation to which the plunder of the faction shall drive a starving and an outraged people . They put down the Star ! Poor devils ! xhey shall put down my last shirt first . They get rid of Feargus O'Connor ! The wretches t I will beat them all to their hearts content . I laugh at their pigmy force and womanish threats .
Theirs is a war of waters , raised against the heftd and front of democratic omnipotence , —not against Fe&rgus O'Connor ; but ha-nng laid me low , they wonla then pull down the pillar which I have dons onen ? an * s share in erecting . They whine andsimper , and cry cut , " O , don ' t denounce P Good Jack , kind folks ; no , you shall have your pleasure . I will bow to your mighiy will and pleasure ; but it shall be when I loss the dignity of self-respect . They are not the first smugglers who have been wrecked
against that rock of principle—the Northern Star . They don ' t want a national mirror ; they desire a looking-glass , in which they nay see reflested monkeys of their own dressing—patriots of their owa imagination— toys gilded with rich men ' s golu . They will milk Sturge , and then send him to grass I They could not have hit upon a better milch cow for their purpose , because they profess to have the same object in view—namely , to make bread cheap for people who have no money to buy it with !
Bat be assured that , from whatever quarter they may draw their aid , succour , asd support , they shall ever find in me and my " hot-headed followeri " a party who will surrender their principles , or alter their name , only with their lives . But this is decounting , " 0 , kind friends , gentle followers , pray lie down in quiet , and allow our iatellec : uil saviours to cure ns by killing us I Ever your fond and devoted friend , FtUEGCS O'COXSOBA Chartist , and no surre&der .

BUBLIV . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association held their usual weekly meeting at their great rooms , 3 So . 14 , North Anne-streel ; Mr . Patrick Dyott , secretary . The mimUes of the last day ' s proceedings having been read , Mr . H . Clark , proposed that Mr . John Wilds be admitted a member . Mr . Freebairn seconded the motion . Mr Dyott moved" That Lir . J . Hickson be admitted a member f Mr . Martin Scdnded the motion . Mr . O'Higgina moved , and Mr . O'Connor seconded , " That Messrs . M'Kienan , M'Nally . and Ternan be admitted members . " Mr . O'Higgina addressed the meeting upon the recent outrageous conduct of some of the members who had recently withdrawn from their association , and congratulated the meeting &ud
association on the fortunate circumstances oj having got rid of some ofthem at anyrate , wfiiie heregretted that they had prevailed upon one or twohonestmen to leave that society and join the seceder 3 . Those paxrie ? " who were now gone out from amongst them , had given their society great trouble aud annoyance from the commencement . It was fresb in the recollection of every one , that they had been accusing each other of being spies aad informers , and that they had gone so far as to take le ^ al proceedings against one another which proceedings were settled in that room . ( Hear , beaT , ) " they aie gone and peace be with them . " The next effort to destroy tne association was to bs found in the ba 3 e iiUle conspiracy against their noble-minded and
truehearted friend , Mr . P . M . Bropby . ( Great cheering . ) There were but few men in any station of life superior to Brophy : kind , benevolent , good-natured almost to a fault , a ^ d , at theeame time , possessed of an indomitable > pirit that no power on earth coula subdue—( hear , hear ) . Poor Brophy was persecuted , hunted down in the land of his birth by an infamous cowardly gang who bated him on account of his many virtues and sterling patriotism . But then his poor wife , who wa 3 too sensitive and too delicate to withstand the shock caused by the persecution ot her husband . She , poor creature , sunk by slow degrees since the day her husband was denied the rij ^ ht to vindicate his character at the Corn Exchadge , and wa 3 ignoniiniously branded as an Orangeman and arenegade by Mr . O'Connell —( hear , hear ) . ' - It is now evident that it was this latter kind of slanderers who have withdrawn from us that misrepresented Mr . Bropny to Mr . O'Connell , and so
imposed upon his credulity as to prevail upon himwith a na-iion at hiB back—to _ crash an honeft , innocent , upright man , —a man who bad no means of support . Bg a wife and three children but by his hard earnings . Poor Mrs . Brephy isnomor . I As it is now well known thai she fell a victim to the persecution and' -banishment of her husband , ft is hoped that ter death will be a warning to those who have great power , never to persecuta a poor , honest man again . The children are wholly unprovided for ; but he ( ilr . O'H . ) trusted that some provision would be made for them ont of the £ 16 , 000 which were received at the Corn Exchange , where the misfortunes that have beta-lien them originated when t ' aeir good father was denounced a 3 a renegade and an orangeman , and when he was refused the poor privilege of defending bis charasier . ( H < -ar , hear , and great sensation . ) ThLs is liberty , js it ? No ; it 13 'tyranny ana pereecadon In their most unmitigated fcrm . Talk not of Gesler ai ' i ; r this!—Mr .- Fraebairu
passed a very high eulogium on the character , merit * , and success of Mr . Brophy . Mr . Waters , Vwho was not a membei ) begged the privilege of aadressing the meeting . He Paid that he was sorry to see a meeting of his countrymen finding fault with Mr . O'Coauell -. the country owed him nsuob . The English "Chartiits did not support the Liberals at the last elections ; they helped the Tories , and put out our friends the Wui ^ s . The Tories aro giving all ' ihe p ) ace 3 to their own friends ; and , if they remain long in power , all the offices will again be filled by Tones ; aud is it patriotism to la th < 2 enemies of the people get the good pk > ce 3 , instead of our friends ? He ( Mr . Waters ) was at ihe Corn Exchange the day Mr . Brophy was ' . urned out . and
be must say that he thought him bad ] y u .-ed . ( Hear , hear . ) But who could blame Mr . O'Conuell 3 Surely somebody must hava imposed upon him , or he would have Beard Mr . Bropny in his own deience . He . ( Mr . Waters ) wished to know why it was that the Association was opposed to the Wn ? g $ . Surely the Whigs Were better than the Tories ; a « d did Mr . O'Conuell not fcay that it would bs better to keep out the wind with an old hat than not to keep it ont at all . He came thc-ra to hear what they had 10 say upon thtse subjects , as be was at a Ios 3 to know the reason why they opposed the Whigs , and also why they did not follow the mighty leader , O'Connell . He thanked them for the attentive hearing they had given to one who
was not a member , and who never spose at a public meeiing before . —Mr . H . Clark said that he for one vronia usn his political fauh to the sieeve of no man . He was born and reared a Catnolic , and that religion taught him to abide by the faith , end not by any individual—( hear , hear . ) He ( Mr . C . ) had learned his political creed , and he would stand by at ; and if Ftargu 3 O'Connor himself departed irom the straightforward path , he ( Mr . Clark ) would not follow him—( hear , hear . ) It was because Mr . O'Cennell had left his Radical friends , and joined their enemies , " the base , bloody , and brutal W Digs , " the authors of the Coercion Act , and the Poor
Law Amendment Act , that he ( Mr . Clark ) conld not support Mr . O'Conuell—( hear , hear . ) The people were deceived and betrayed by the middle ranks . Let them now be cautious how they trust them . —Mr . ' Dyott . said that as it was growing late he would oot detain ¦ the meeting with any lengthened observations , particularly after the manly and independent speech of Mr . Clark . But he would just say to Mr . Waters , that if he would favour the Association- with his presence on Sunday next , the question would be discussed , * ' Whether any man , who supports either a Whig or a Tory Ministry , can be the friend cf public liberty or popular rights ' .

—( hear , hear . ) This question will open the whole case , and it will be discussed with perfect candoar . —Mr . Duff was called to the on air ; the marked thanks of the meming ; were given to Mr . Rafter , after which the meeting separated . ABERDEEN . —The signB of the times are indeed portentous . The rapid spread of democratic principles is indeed amazing . Radicalism is now , not only the adopted creed of the oppressed millions of Great Britain and Ireland , but the aristocratic scions in our Universities are being tainted with the same doctrine , and have begun to shew their admiration of our principles by endeavouring to honour the advoca ; es—and perhaps the good readers of the S / ar will inquire in what manner I The following will show .
A number of students at King ' s College , Old Aber deen , having imbibed 1 he principles of the Charter , they rpsolved to test their fellow-students' disposition towards the cause of liberty , by bringing forward a candidate at the late election of a Chancellor of the University . There were three parties in the field , aud as a matter of course each party nominatd a ctndidate . The candidates were the Duke of Wellington , brought forward by the Tories , Lord Brougham , by the Liberals , and , would you believe it , the t aird candid * te was that champion of liberty —that foe to oppression—that man of the people ' s choice , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., Barrister at Law . Mr . O'Connor ' s supporters were assiduously engaged m canvassing for their man , as were al& 3 the other
two parties ; and after having done their utmost the respective numbers of supporters for each candidate were as follows : —Wellington , 63 ; Brougham , 57 , and O'Connor 36 . The Liberals and Ultras consulted as to the best course to be adopted ; if they polled the Duke ' s party wero in the ascendency , and would beat them , so they resolved to coalesce . The Broughamite » and O'Connorites , accordingly united , and Brougham was chosen , as he had the greater numbt-r of supporters on the Liberal side . We do not consider this as a defeat . It must be looked upon as a great triumph to the cause of liberty , Had OConDor becD elected he would have been entitled by an Act , of Queen Anne to a British peerage . Tue Professors of the Uaiversity must
indeed be astonished to find democracy has taken up its abode wuhin those walls where nothing is taught but the most self-debasing doctrines . But this shews that iho love of liberty is inherent in man —that it is confined to no particular class in society ; and though prejudice may warp itsulf around the rea on of some—though ignorance may retard the triumph of the ca < sse of justice and humanitythough passive obedience be inculcated as a virtue ihto the minds of our youth , still the love of liberty is predominant ; the very enunciation of the word awakens feelings and emotions within the youthful bosom indescribable , and when ho contemplates the happiness which would be the lot of man weTe he free , he looks forward with blissful expectation to the time when liberty , equality , and justice shall be inscribed on onr banners—when these principles
shall be engraven on our hearts , and peace , plenty , and happiness the lot of mankind—when the hearts of our yoath are untaii : tad wuh error , are imbued with the beauty of truth , enthusiastic , warm , compassionate , and benevolent , alive to the oppression tfca ' , crushes their fellows , keen in their perception of the C 3 use and the means to remove it , then is the time to make impressions on . theiv minds which time will not eradicate or circumstances change , to stamp indelibly on their hearts an unquenchable love of liberty , of truthful integrity , justice , and humanity . We hope that the example ot these youths will be followed by oihera thiou . ^ hout . the country . The students here have the sirongest hypes of returning O'Connor at tho next eleciu-n . May success attend their effom . Hurrah for O'Connor and the students of King ' s College !
Tavist ck , —A . t a meeting of the members of the Chartist of thi 3 place on Monday evening , it was resolved , That we the Chartists of Tavistocfc are determined to stand by F . O'Connor and the Executive , as ioDg aa they stand by the people's cause , and that we will take nothing short of the Charter , name and all . Thanks were aUo voted to the five brave Bradford Chaitists for their noble and straightforward manner at ill i Slnrge Conference .
SHEFFIELD . ( From our owu Correspondent . ) Extract of a"Letter from Samcel Holberby . — Dear Sir , —I this morning received your welcome letter . * * The punishment ii / flieted on me is worse than if they had put an end to my sufferings at once , They have destroyed my constitution by unjast treatment at Northallcrton ; they hive brought me to that state I cannot eat , and though I have been avowed haif a pound of mutton every day , and tea night aud rooming , since I came to the C& > tle ; although 1 have been allowed all this , I am reduced to such a state of debility that 1 can hardly crawl—1 am only a shadow of my former seif . There is a poor convict lying beside me in ih ^
last stage of comsumption ; he is wasted very little more than I am . And , dear friend , you may rest assured that 1 shail nt'ver serve two years more in prison ; no , before half that time is expired , I shall be in my grave . * * Believe me , Sir , I would much rather leave this place a corpse , than remain here till my health is so far gone aa to leava me a burden to my friends . * * * 1 think if you were to wrue to Brighton , and get them to Bend a memorial to Captain Pecheu , it might have some effect , as a report went from the Burgeon here , last week , to the Home office , on the state of my health . It ' s with difficulty ihat I have WlOte , the paiu in my side is so distressing . " I am , yours truly , " Samukl Holbebry ,

We gave last week an account of all the vestry meetings that had then taken place , when the meeting stood adjourned to Monday evening , at which time there was a very full attendance . In consequence of the Court House being occupied by T . H . Marshall , Esq ., who was holding a Court of Requests iii the large court , it was half-past seven o ' clock before Mr . ftoherts took the chair . The Chaikmak , in opening the business , acquainted the meeting with the business which was nrider discusion when the Wednesday evening ' s adjournment took piace , and read ov <> r Mr . Barr ' s proposition . Mr . Gico . NtWTOJi , in a few brief remarks , opposed
the bill altogether , which he declared was uniio " cessary , the ratepayers being already burdened sufficieDtly with expenses , without an addition of five or six thousand pounds for obtaining a New IropiOvement Bill . He did not care what the House of Commons thought , lie should support the anieiidmentsi introduced , in preference to the original bill . Mr . Tuqs . Dixoii replied at soin ^ - . length .- . to the remarks made by Mr . Barr , and the principles Contained in his resolution , and coiiteudeU that tho alterations introduced had been adopted after matuve deliberation by the meetings which had been held , at which both considerable time and grekt attention h&i betu devoted to the object .
Mr . FttAZER followed in a speech of great length , and of surpassing eloquence . Ho . thought it was an iueult to ih . o meeting and to the ratepayers generally , to tell them that the amendments which had beou intioducerf were nof . suoh as could be ben-ncially carried out . He took the opportunity of . f «;' i > ly i-rijr to some remarks in an artiole in the Leeds Mercury of Saturday last , and contended in Uvour of the amendments which had been adopted , arguing for tlie principle of a graduated sreale of taxauoii , so that the working classes migh ^ be more leuiintly taxed than their employers . Twopence in the ppumi , to
he contended , was sufficient for a working man have to pay out of his earnings ; and this was the scale he trusted the meeting would abide by . With the amendment adopted in reference to tha tolis of the free market he did not agree , because he thought it vras making a class distinction , a . id le ^ is luting for one cla ^ B of the commuuity at the expence of another . Mr . Robwsqk , who said he was a emaJ ] tradesman , argued against the intt ' oductionof the graduated scale of taxation , and would have all classes 10 pay ihe same amount of rate per . pound , let thai amount be fixed at what it miKht ,
Mr . Thomas Morgan pointed , out the inconsistences and iutqualitiob of the pibposed graduate ^ scale , which h » characterised as dishonest a lid unjust .

Barraclou ^ h , hosier , Bri ^ gate , and stolen £ 58 in money . A pane of glass had been broken , by which means the fastener of the window in tho back yard was loosed , and in ^ re-s obtained . No one resided in the shop . It would appear that one of the thieves must have been concealed in the back yard , because both doors of tho yard w < re fastened that night by Mr . Bailey ,
whose house is connected . with it . The thieves let themselyt's but by . the back door of the house . Nothing was heard by which auy trace of the thieves could be apparently disenver ^ d tiil above a week afterwardsj when Inspector Child became acquainted with the fact that tiie tvvo _ lads , Kay and Gilroy , had bought a variety of articles , and amongst other thingp a watch each , cloth for a . tag'iiorii coac and waistcoat ^ and nine silk handkerchiefs , for > vhich thi ; y had paid in ¦ gold . Tuo handkerchiefs were bought at Mr . Hqlroyd ' s shop , in Klrkgatej and at the time they bought them , Archer was with them . Kay was in the employ of Mr . T . VVray printer , and Gilroy with Mr . Stephen Oat 8 , tailor , Templar-street . The taglioni coat was making by
Mr , Gates , and Kay wrote a note to him , that when he had" finished it he was to send it down tb Lengthtfine ' s beer-shdp , near the Boot and Shoe Yard , Kirkgate , where it would be paid for . When the time came , however ^ having seen Child and Hartley going into the beer-shop , the lads did not go to the house , but went up a passage , and Mr . Lengthorne refused to pay for the coat . These were the circumstances which led to their apprehensipn i and when they were first before ihe magistrates ; on Friday ^ the officers were in hopes of being able to ima ^ e the case complete against thim , by the finding of the mouey , or by some evidence which should fix the transrttcrion on them . In this , however , they unforr t . u ' na ' . ely failed . Kay declared that he had found
a purse three weeks ago , in the Crpit , containing £ 7 3 i . 6 d ., aud that the things which- he had purchased he had done so with that money . He is evidently an aitf ' ul lad , and though -yp . un . if in years jt is to be feared hs has contracted thosa habits and acquaintaivcea which will provo his ruim There not being evidence to warrant the bench in BendJKg the ease to a jury , the prisoJiers were all diseharKed . Whilst eearohiiig the prmling offico of Mr * Wray , in the hope that the money might be there concealed , the officers found wrapped up in paper , in an obscure corner , the types composed for printing an obscene paper , which had bten set up by the prisoner Kay ^ and which had occupied his perverted tasto and ingenuity at , hours vfhen his masteriwas absent .
