      Mt Bslotsd Feiexds , —The sueeess of our arise ^ Nottingham , does in truth snrpass my most- sangniue expectation ; and to a judicious foUowin ^ jip . of the example there set . I look with confidence for the establishment of our principles . I am here to ratfi , to protect , tod watch over your right * and % Uerats . lam joar * g * nt ; and yonrtbanksaremycnlT rewara . I did not think ifc possible to have presented gnch a front of virtuous poverty to the omnipotence of -old ! The higher classes , as they ; are styled , * re astonnded . Not a drunken man is to be Been in Notjjngh&m ! while tneTSnglish and Irish know no distinction of country—all fighting under the universal banner .

      rpk is j 3 blazing weather to travel in , and attend £ hree meetings a-daj far apart ; but I did it yester-< Isy ; and from the moment the "writ arrives , till the herald proclaims onr -victory , I shall not lay my kead upon a pillow . ' * Bnt , my fiiends , I am sorry-to learn that some trifling misunderstanding exists as to the fulfilment of my Yorkshire engagements . In my letter of the week before last , I stated the days in this week when I would Yisit Yorkshire , unless I got permission to defer it ; and I rejoice to say that I hare received letters , from eTery place to which I was pledged , cheerfully granting ' me the required' indulgence It is an indulgence to get wet throneh three times

      a day . Yet , notwithstanding , I learn that I was expected in Yorkshire this week . Now , this is unjust , as in my letter alluded to I put off my visit for a week , from actual inability to perform the work ; and , ' by reference to that letter , it will at once be seen that I nominated this week only if compelled by your rigid demand to comply ; bnt that I asked for leave till the pending election terminated . And now I feel convinced that I need only assure my friends all otbt the country , that the nonelectors of Nottingham consider my presence indispensble—to convince all that mj abandonment of the cause here just now would be fraught with great evil .

      I cannot describe to yon the state of sober and ¦ nrtuons excitement to which the public mind has been brought ; and to lose the battle would be chargeable upon those who would lessen its value , even by the amount of one individual . When we win the victory , for win ice musf , and trill , then I shall have some glad-tidings to carry you j but , until then , all mnst exeuse me .

      ASHTOK . —Mr . Bsyley , of Manchester , lectured in the Chartist Association room , last Sunday evening , to an attentive audience . ABERDEEN . —The usual -weekly meeting of the iNorthem District Charter Union was held in their Hall , 38 , George-street , on Monday evening last , Mr . James Jd'Theison in the chair . After a short address from the Chairman , on the progress of the Chartist movemeat , he aid he should wish to call the attention of the meeting to the report of the last week ' s meetin * of this Union , which-appeared in the Aberdeen Herald of Saturday last , which had been written by Mr . David Wright , and which contained a great many misstatements , and was calculated to do a great injury to the interests of this Union . He hoped he should be

      allowed to retire from the chair , in order that he might have an opportunity of expressing his sentiments regarding this report , and the conduct of its author . He was permitted to retire , and Mr . Waddle was called upon to preside . Mr . ATPherson then read the report , aid stated what he believed to be false and mis-statei as he went on . Mr . David Wright rose to defend himself from the charges made against him by Mr . M'Pherson . He said as he was not much practised in writing short-hand , it could not be expected that he could give every word as it was spoken ; yet , to the best of his knowledge , the report he had sent ta the Aberdeen Herald was exactly what occurred at that meeting . The cause which gave rise to this discussion was in consequence of a public meeting , called by the

      Complete Suffrage men , te hear a report from Mr . James Adams sad Mr . John Mitchell , of their proceedings as delegates to the Birmingham Conference , which was held in Macray's Pavilion , on Wednesday , the lsth of May . Previous to this meeting , the Charter Union bad resolved to attend it , and should there be a vote cf fh * -nV » moved to Messrs . Adams and Mitchell , they would move an amendment to it ; and as they were not elected at a public meeting , they would refer them back to those parties who elected them for a vote of approbation of their conduct Mr ^ James M'Pherson , Mr . A . Henry , end Mr . A . M'Donald , and others were appointed by the Union to move and second the amendment ; likewise , a resolution pledging the meeting to adopt ike memorial to the Queen and

      the remonstrance to the House of Common ? . Several persons not being satisfied with these proceedings , it was brought up at the last weekly meeting of the Union , when a long discussion ensued , in which Mr . David Wright , Mr . Dnnean Nicholson , and others contended that the conduct of Mr . M'Pherson and Mr . il'Donald in bringing forward that amendment , and opposing that of the middle classes , and disturbing that meeting , was unmanly and uncalled for , and bad a tendency to keep many good men among the middle classes from joining the present movement . Mr . D . Wright having reported this meeting in the Aberdeen Herald , with the report above mentioned , after a long discussion on the subject , Mr . Legg moved the following resolution , which was seconded and carried unanimously : — " That this Union approves of the conduct of Mr . James M'Pherson and Mr . A . M'Donald at the meeting held by the Complete Suffrage men in H&eray's Pavilion , on Wednesday , the 18 th of May ;

      and that this union has full confidence in the said two gentlemen . " After seme diaenssien , Mr . Legg moved another resolution to the following effect : — " That this Union , after having considered the report of the meeting of Monday last in the Aberdeen Herald , consider that the said report is false and one-sided , and calculated to icjure the cause with those who are unacquainted with the truth . " The Chairman took a show of hands for the resolution , when oniy one hand was held up against it . The meeting then broke np . Mr . Henry addressed the Female Charter Association of thia city on Wednesday last , the subject being , " that no one could claim the name of Christian unle * s he advocated eqaal justice to all hh fellow men , " Mr . Henry handled the subject in & ja&sner which did honour to himself and to those principles which he baldly and determinedly advocates . After a vote of thanks was given to the lecturer , sod the usual business of the association transacted , the meeting broke op . —Correspondent .

      EUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association held its usual meeting on Sunday last After the minutes were read and some routine business gone through , tie Secretary read the answer of Fear ^ us O'Connor , Esq ., to the address forwarded to the Star , from Ireland . It was loudly and most enthusiastically cheered , and seemed to find an echo in the breast of every man in the room , whether a . member or not Mr . Djott said he should not detain them byany lengthened remarks . If their ajscciation had done no other good than to elicit that lucid , incontrovertible , and pathetic expose if how Ireland had been treated by those "whom ehe trusted , it had done the State some service . ( Hear , tear . ) Bnt that association had done more ; if it had not been able to totally eradicate prejudice , or

      completely to dissipate Ljnoranee , is had by the strength of its arguments and the shaf 3 of . its ridicule , brought intolerance into disrepute , and to a great degree silenced vituperation and denunciation . ( Hear ) A shallow and unworthy insinuation was now all that the weak invention of the enemy dared to venture on . The public mind was fast breaking up ; the crude attempt at repeal had failed ; that unmeaning cry -was beginning to fail npo- the ear of its once ardent but orten disappointed followers , and 0 Connell himself saw and was forced to Wmit its hopelessness -without a change in the consiitoeneiea . ( Hear , bear . ) But the agitation of the libe-** or himself , changeful , fitful , flickering , inconsistent ss i : vis , had lost its magic ; there -was no longer any eathaaiasm—the Corn Exchange treasury bad run dry ,

      saa -though farthings were made a ltgal tender , even ] poverty ' s coin itself was not forthcoming . ( Hear , hear . ) j Out cf this apathy and diicontent the country would j shortly arise and claim the Charter . He appealed to all ] "who had an opportunity of conversing with the people , j ¦ whether they were not rapidly coming round to their j T * eWE—retaraine to common sense , and admitting the j necessity of securing the franchise f-r protection and j redress . Thus prepared , the people only waited the j cry cf ' onwards' from the general who had before led j them to victory ; and those who watched events closely vould find in the vaccilations of Mr . 0 * Connell , and the occasional overtures he made ( withy he mnst admit ,

      aTery bad grace , ) to Chartism , indications that tbeti » e ! * as rapidly approaching when to secure the popularity j he had acquired , that great man must consent to guide ] aid cease to controol the public sentiment- { Hear , i hsa . j Mr . O'Connell { not Dan ) , made some rery perti-1 sent argumentative , remarks , on the way in which the j lo-wer classes bad been treated by the men to whom i they had given their money and their confidence . No- j Sting could be more flagrant than the fact that almost j all the old agitators after climbing to ambition ' B pinnacle j on the shoulders of the people , had kicked away th& I lidder to which they owed their elevation . ( . Hear . )! Several other Bpeakeis addressed the meeting , asd the j Secretary having given notice that he would en next : Sunday sucmit the draft of an address to the people of England on the present position ot Ikeii aSaiis , the Betting Beparatei

      OMTHERQE . T-A large public meeting was held on Enfield , on Sunday afternoon , May the 29 th . The day was beautifully iine , and there could not be less than twenty thousand present . Mr . Hodlam , of Preston , was called to the chair ; he opened the meeting with a few appropriate observations , and introduced Mr . Marsden , from Preston , who came forward amidst loud c ' leers , and entered into a lengthy statement of our prospects ; told the working saen to take their own affairs into their own hands ; that they must rely on thoir own strength ^ iheir ^ own energy , and perseverance for the attainmenfof their just and inalienable rights , and cohcladed by reading the following document : —To the enfranchised portion of the community , and all those

      possessed of political power . Gentlemen , — -You have bitherte governed us , whilst our part in the state hath , been but to toil , to pay , and to obey . We have performed our park With an immense debt , created by war and heavy taxes , still national credit halh been maintained ; the nation's dignity supported , and its wealth yearly increased . You must admit that it was your duty to have protected pur labour in return , but reckless sepoulators have been allowed to indemnify themselves for their loss ; the result of their avaricious schemes by reductions jn our wages . Thns , year after year , have our wages been sinking , whilst a Corn ' Law has been supported , keeping provisions ; at a nearly unvarying or ice . in order that the class of landowners mieht

      continue to receive the same amount of rental . To make-mattersVorse , machinery has been introduced to Tin extent so aa nearly to supersede manual labour ; and now , whilst one-half of the working population are deprived of all employment , the other half find it difficult to sustain life With all their toil . For twenty years we have petitioned and implored , but in vain—first , for a ; removal of the Corn Laws , then for Boards of Trade , and a diminution of the taxes ; and the only way in which Govern- ; mont has acted in reference to us , has been by an endeavour to silence our complaints in dungeons and bastilea , and getting rid pf us by emigvationi Our prospects are now gloomy in the extreme . Nothing now presents itself but starving to death on our

      native soil—the land which our sires so nobly defended . We are now become convinced that appeals to you are useless ; you have destroyed our confidence ; the hopes so long and fondly ch . eriab . ed are for ever blasted . Honceforth , on our own strength , and the justice of our cause , shall we rely ; and look within ourselves for the elements of another and a better state of things . We long not for anarchy—we pant not for blood ; but we cannot behold our wives discontented and unhappy , and our children famishing for bread , without an effort to relieve them . You who profess to be our friends , aud would advise us to bo patient , ease the pangs of hunger ; or if that be not in your power , be silent , otherwise we can no longer view you as

      friends , but only aa enemies m disguise . It is criminal to tell the starving to be patient , and proves your sympathy to be but rank hypocrisy . You profess to admire the forbearance we have hitherto manifested , and cry out peace , peace , whilst a war of famine ; created by Mammon , is pending thousands to premature graves . What is your motive ? We are not assassins ; wo wish not for plunder ; we wish but for a fair remuneration for our labour , and to have that labour protected . It is all that we to live by . We have no access to the land , that is monopolised by a few . It is not in the nature of things , that the majority of us can ever possess wealth sufficient to purchase machinery . Ought then , we ask , a few wealthy capitalists to be allowed to monopolise our only remaining meaas of subsistence ! , ' is this justice ? Is ihis protection ?

      Either give us labour for which we are to be properly paid ; or if machinery must do the work , let us share the produce . Can any desire be more natural and just ? But to whom inuat we apppeal with so reasonable a request ? Will landowners permit us to cultivate the land for ourselves , or will millowners allow us : to enjoy the wealth derived from these machines 1 Yet these are pur law-makers —to these alone we are necessitated to apply ; and , though onr request to us appears reasonable and just , to them it appears the most : extravagant desire imaginable , and is scouted as such accordingly . Ou what , then , do you who affect to sympathise with us ground your hopes ? Is this feeling and dispositiiu on tho part of our rulers about to change 1 Experience answers hover ; and that our present de . siituto condition is but the natural results of

      classmade law . We , therefore , tell our rulers calmly and deliberately that we can no longer bear the system of slowrmurder which they seem intent on following up . Better die by the sword than dio of hunger ; aud , if , wo are to be butchered , why not commence the bloody work at once . ( Immense cheering ) Lifehathjno charms when all prospect of happiness is gone , for happiness cannot exist without contentment ; and where is contentment to be found without a biifficioncy to satisfy the cravings of hunger , and something like comfortable food and raiment . The majority of our countrymen will never stand by and see injustice doae when those who feel the bitterness of oppression nobly defond them'elves —( hear , hear , and cheers ) , but crawling

      sycophancy and servile submission disgust every rational mind . We claim to bo ranked as citizens , not as slaves . We wish the nation ' s will to bo law , feeling assured that the bulk of the people can have no interest in the present Btate 61 things , with the ballot to protect each in the enjoyment of his political privilege—wealth would not corrupt , nor numbers intimidate , and the exercise of the mental faculties of reason and judgment would alone decide in the choice of our governors , and man be no longer taxed without his free consent . We tell tho Premier to call to mind his own expression , when Cabbett reminded him of his being the son of a cotton weaver—the Premier replied , that no generous man would block up the avenues to

      public favour and distinction . Where would the Premier be , if he was the son of a cotton weaver in our day . Would he not fiad the gates to those avenues barred against him , and yet he is ungenenerous enough to strive to keep them for ever barred . Let him now think himself doomed to the loom , or the mill , incessantly toiling , through life ia poverty and rags , aud ho will inwardly rejoice , when in our assembled multitudes , uncter the canupy of heaven , we solemnly declare that allegiance to our unfeeling rultys is no ; longer ' 'due . Is it not a shame for the Premier to receive £ 5 fiQ 0 per year , or more than £ 90 per week , from an impoverished people ? Is it not wrong for many of the peers and peeresses to be in the receipt

      of pensions aud holding sinecure offices ? Is it not scandalous to retain hundreds of women pensioners . Is it not wrong to allow tha tithes to be wholly absorbed by the Church , whilst the aged and destitute , for whom they wero in part intended , should be wholly unprovided for ? Is it not highly unjust to permit the same amount of interest , upon the debi to be paid when the greater cheapness of labour hath made money so much more valuable , and when £ 1 will procure as much of our labour as donble the snm would at the close of the war and when that debt was contracted ? Is it not unjust in the landowners , for the same reasons , to keep up the Corn Laws ? Can any man put his hand to his heart and say that ihe present salaries for officers of state

      Bhould continue to be paid , whilst wiuug from so much poverty and wretchedness as that whichi now iill 3 the ' lari'd . J Against these things we war , and appeal to the understandings of all , and a&k whether we are not justified in demanding their instant removal ?—( great cheering . ) Mr . Tattersall from Burnley , rose to support it , which he did at some length , and retired amid loud cheers . Messrs . Swindlehurst and Mponey then ad dressed ; the meeting , and was well received . At thia stage of the proceedings , a Mr . Marquis , from Burnley , rose to make objections to some sentences uttered by some of the previous speakers ; and spoke amid great confusioni and seeing that his remarks was not in duo season , he bid them all a good afternoon . Mr . Tattorsail and several others replied to . Mr * . Marquis , and delivered some

      speeches rather too zealous and straightforward , and it is much to bo doubted whether their harangues Will hayo a beneficial effect or not . Mr . Gdlam moved , and a speaker from Chorley seconded , ' That a report of this meeting , and a copy of Mr . Marsden's document be sent to the Northern Star and British Statesman newspapers , and to the Commonueatihsman . " A vote of thanks was then put and carried to Mr . Oidham for his impartial conduct ; in the chair . It was generally reported and understbou that Mr . Beesley , from Accrington , and some of the Executive would attend * but they failed to do so ; it they had attended it would undoubtedly have had the effect of keeping back some very violent Bpeeohes that were uttered , not very much to the credit of the Chartist cause . Some person or persons in the movement are highly censurable , but who they are remains to be told .

      IMPORTANT MEETING AT HEY WOOD . On Monday last , one of the largest public meetings was held in the Market Place that has taken place in the recollect ioh of the oldest inhabitants . The last out-door meeting held in this town was during the agitation for ¦ . the Reform Bill , called by the middle classes ; and in point of numbers was far short of this meeting , called by the working men of Heywood . The Market Place was one mass of living being ? ; there could not be less than from 5 , 000 to 6 , 000 persons present . The manufaciufers were cut to the quick to see the working men go from their work , in tneir thousands , to hear the pure principles of democracy propounded } and the rights of labour explained . One of these modern Shylpcks said that he would rather h ^ ve given ten pounds than the meeting should have taken

      place ¦ I and two of the professed friends of the people who signed the requisition to the churchwardens to call the meeting , although the understanding was , that if the churchwardens refused to call the meeting ( as was certain to be the case , they being of the high Tory Bohool ) , that they ( the requisitionists ) would ' cal ) S the meeting themselves on thw ' r own responsibility ; as soon as the placards were posted , these two worthies got small bilfe printed , stating that an undue liberty had been taken with their names , they never having authorised any person to post their names upon the walls of the town , as taking part in calling the meeting . But , notwithstandiDg this twaddle , the working men were determined not to be done out of their meeting by the treachery of pretended friends or the intimidation of open foes . . , - ' " ¦ •¦ " ' . ''¦¦¦ . ' . ' . ' .

      Mr . Smith , a working man , was called to the cha ir . '¦ _ ¦"¦ ¦ ¦ ; '¦ ' ; . " . ¦ i . ' ¦ - . ¦ ¦ ' .. ;¦ ¦¦ . ¦ ¦' . ¦ ' . Mr . Wm . Bell moved the remonstrance to the House of Commons , in an able and argumentative speech ^ in which the lordsof the long chimneys came iu for their share of asoyere castigation inflicted upon the capitalists for their merciless treatment of tho labouring classes . Mr . Bell concluded by reading the remon&trance , which was seconded by Mr . Fletcher , and supported by Mr . Campbell , General Secretary of the National Charter Association , in a powerful speech , in which he ably exposed the Workings of the present system and all its effects upon the kbonring part of the community , and concluded his eloquent address by appealing to the working men upon the necessity of their becoming members of the . association . The remonstrance being put from the chair , was carried unanimously .

      Mr . John Bell moved the adoption of the memorial to tha Queen , and said he was not in the habit of public speaking , he therefore would content himself : by reading the memorial . It was seconded by a working man , and supported by Mr . Dixon , from Wigan , in a few brief remarks ; on its being put to the meeting it was carried without a dissentient . ¦ : ; ' . ' ¦' -: ' . [" ¦ : ¦ . ' ; , / :, ¦ . ¦ ; : ' ; A vote of thanks was given to T . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., and J . Fielden , Esq ., M . P ., for the mauly manner which they advocated the people ' s cause in the House of Commons . Three cheers were given for Mr . O'Connor and the Northern Star , and three for Frost , Williams , and . Jones . After the thanks of the meeting were voted to the Chairman , the assembled thoaanda separated in a peaceable and ; orderly manner . This meeting will not soon be forgot in Heywood ; it was decidedly the largestandmost orderly meeting ever hela in this town .

      IMPORTANT MEETING of thb MECHANICS ¦ ¦ ¦ V ; ,. " OF MANCHESTER . / . v ; " _ '' ;/¦ ¦ A general meeting of the above body took place in the large room , Sherwood Anns , Tib-street , on Tuesday evoning , May the Slat , to tako into consideration the propriety of joining the National Charter Association ; tar . Nuctell was unanimously called to the chair ; Mr . Bell and Mr . Whitcaker attended as a deputation from the Carperjtsr ' a National Charter Association ; and Mr . James Loach and Mr . John Bailey , as a deputation from the National Charter Association . Mr . Bell , in a brief manner stated the nature of his mission and the necessity of the trades joining in the movement for political emancipation of the industrious classes of this country .

      Mr , Whittakeu said it was with pleasure and a considerable degree of diffidence that he appeared before them on this peoasion ; with diffidence , on account of his own inability and the limited extent of lih talents to do justice te the great principles they had met to examine , but with pleasure , to see so many working men assembled together after the toil of the day , to assist by their united ; intelligence to adopt such measures as in their united wisdom was the best calculated to remove the present distress that affects society . As a member of a trade's

      union , he had found that they were not capable of giving that protection to the working man that hi 3 case required , and therefore he considered it to be the duty of tho trades to unite with the people in one grand and holy union to destroy the demon , class logisiation . Mr . Whittaker then explained the Charter point by point , in a masterly manner , and contended that the cause of all our evils was class legislation , therefore the most effectual plan to remove the evil was to destroy the oause by the enactment of the People ' s Charter . The Chaibman nest introduced

      Mr . Lkach , who said he would much rather have heard some one of the mechanics give their sentiments upon the subject . Mr . Leach went into a minute explanation of the origin of trades' unions , and the canse that brought them into existence ; and in his usual cool , deliberate and convincing manner , carried conviction home to the minds of bis hearers , that nothing less than an entire change in the system of government would ever henefit the people of this country . He addressed the meeting for upwards of an hour , and clearly proved that trades unions , without political rights , would neyep effectually pretect the labourer from the avarice of the classes that live upon their industry , and sat down amidst the repeated plaudits of the meeting . Mr . Booth made a few remarks upon the statements made use of by Mr . Leach ; and that gentle * raaii replied .

      Mr . Haley moved a resolution deploring the presect distress of the working classes , and the disposition of the masters to reduce tho wages of the men in their employment . Mr . Robinson : moved as an amendment a declaration , and certain rules of the Complete Suffrage Association . This called forth a warm and lengthy debate , in which the following gentldmen took part : —Messrs , Robinson , Haley , Bailey , Dixon , and others , when the original motion was withdrawn , and the following amendment to Mr . Robinson ' s motion was moved and seconded , "That we , the mechanics of Manchester , do forthwith join ihe National Charter Association , and that a > committee

      of nine , with power to add to their Lumbers , be appointed to carry out the foregoing principles . " On the amendment being put to the meeting , there was a forest : of hands in favour ' -. of it , and when put to the contrary there appeared only three against it . On Mr . Robinson ' s motion for complete suffrage , &c , being put to the vote there was four in favour of it . The following gentlemen were then appointed as the committee : —Mr . John Bel ! , Mr . Jameg Haley , Mr . A . Nuttle . Mr . James Burns , Mr . John Teasda , lPj Mr . E . Whitaker , Mr . Richard Dunn , Mr . James Newton , and Mr . H . Douglftsshaw . This meeting speaks volumes in favour of our cause . This once aristocratical trade has come out boldly for the principles . ofdemocracy . ¦
