Mt deab Fbikkds , —Some little disappointment migbt probably be experienced by some of you at not hearing from me last week . I cannot help it . j I was labouring in your cause harder than my emaciated constitution is well able to bear , or than injustice to myself it ought to bear . I addressed large and attentiTO audiences , and at . great length , every evening ; but , as I last intimated to you , I am not now slwaysmaster of my own powers . Hardlibonr , seTere stndy , and the keen harrassment and torture of a thoosand devilries , operating , for a long coarse . of years , spon a constitution not naturally very strong , have done their work ; and have almost rendered me incapable of work . I am exceedingly desirous to perform what serried I may , while the
opportunity remains to me . It may not , and in all probability -will pot , be long . I could not ! write anything for you in last week ' s Star . Yon hafi your " portion of meat" served op by other hands . I know that yon are anxious to hear from me again , to know how 1 " get on , " and to keep up that friendly ialerconrse which we have so long held together th ' rough the colnmn 3 of the Star ; and it certaSaly affords me no less pleasure to communicate with yon . Secluded as i haTe been for years , I have Been but ; little of the people ; and was not sorry , therefore , to have this opportunity of getting once more among them . I find them the same people as I have ever done ; somewhat improved , it may be , in general intelligence , more especially on politics ;
warmhearted , frank , and ingenuous ; ready to accord to the humblest merit its full meed of praise ; and having still lie national fault of being , perhaps , too PDwerfnllv wrought on by the last orator , who speaks to them . There is , however , I am happy to perceive , a great Btep towards the correction of this evil . The people judge more freely , and think more independently than they were used to do ; and I rejoice to find it so . I regard it as an evidence that my labour has not been vain . 'Ks the very disposition I have always sought to induce among them . My efforts have tended ever to this peint . I have regarded it of firs ; consequence io free-them from the trammels of leadership , and to induce them to nse their own judgment , and directjtbeir
own affairs . 1 live only for them and their cause ; I know this to be requisite to the success of their cause ; and hence every advancement towards it affords me tbe sineerest pleasure . ; 1 left Leeds on Friday , the 14 th inst ., the anniversary of the destruction of the French Buttle ; a favourable omen , let me hope , of the destruction of that cursed moral Bastile , in which have been so long immured the rightsandliberties of Englishmen ; -with all its physical adjuncts of prisons , workhouses , and red and bine coax butchers , for tbe enforcement of its fell regulations . I travelled third class . 2 was glad to feel the sweet breezes , and enjoy tbe sweet prospect which the open carriages afforded me . I arrived at Belper just in time to find the people assembled , and anxiously expecting me . 1 find the cause iere , as in most other places , to have suffered
most severely from the mad freaks of last August . Belper was flourishing and in high spirits before then ; it has been drooping ever since . Despair seized on many ; fear on many ethers ; coercion from the tyrant middle class seized upon the fit moment , and M ^ ever since the strike , held tbe ; poor people in a state of vOI&a&ge exceeding anything that I have ever heard of . In tho whole course of my reading and observation , I do not remember to have met -with an instance of a people so thoroughly prostrated and nnhnmanised as are the working people ofthiB town and neighbourhood , by the "Liberal" CqrnLaw Repealing despots under whom they toQ . The instances of tyranny detailed to mebyh " onest sober , creditable men , of whose veracity there could be no doubt , were literally fearful—nenoBgh to make one -wonder into what damned region one had been east .
The only room' that could be had for me was a large room appertaining to an inn . It was filled with honest hearts and true ; many of -whom [ beat with fearful apprehension of the consequences that might ensue from their being ** reported" in tbe morning ; while hundreds cast their longing looks who dare not enter , and hundreds more thought wistfully and anxionsl ; who dare not even look . Ah excellent spirit was manifested by those- , who hazarded the venture . I addressed them on the present condition of the country ; on ite former state ; on il 8 fntnre prospects , and on tbe means of egress from the slough of general destitution . Never were people more attentive ; never did audience seem more perfectly to feel every word uttered , than while I depicted to them in too truthful terms their present state and fntnre prospects . I recommended Union and Organization as the only ground of hope * They caught eagerly at it , and I have some hope again to
see the " wasteplaces" of Belper built up and fortified . Under the gnidance of Mr . "backers , a sterling honest mas—aa I think—they had the good fortune to escape the trap last August- Strong efforts -were made by a few fools to plunge them ; into tbe vor tex ; bnt Tickers stood firm ; the people stood with him , and they were saved . It -was , bowever , as I have said , laid hold of as a pretext by the local tyrants : they filled the town with military ; they pranced np and down the streets , and vituperated the Chartists as though there ; had been some serious outbreak ; and they have ever since laid a ban on Chartism which amounts almost to a surveillance of people ' s thoughts . i'Tis fearfnl that such a state of slarery should be ^ any where ; bnt , while tbe system lasts , under which it has arisen , it will be continually getting more impndent and more oppressive .
I left Belper on Saturday , for Loughborough . Here I was prevented from travelling third class by a most impudent fraud ; a mere sharpers trick played off npon me by tbe agent of the Railway Company- I went to the booking-office ; ^ sked for a- third-clas 3 ticket , receixed a ticket and paid down the sum demanded , supposing it to be for third class ; when the train came in I was told that there were so third-class carnages attached to it , but that I should be " all right , " as mine was a second-class ticket . Tiere were third class carriages to the next train , for which I would have waited , had I not been thus tricked . I have heard of similar tricks npontbis line before ; and 1 state ibis fact for the cantSon of other parties who may travel by the North Midland and Midland Counties Hallway .
At Longhborough , tbe people arem great poverty . And h « re as at Belper , the friends had difficulty in finding a roof to cover me . All the religious bouses , lax ? e schoolrooms , theatre , and other public buildings were refused . The only place that could be had was a place called the Unicorn room , the same that was had for Mr . O'Connor at his last visit . Thisi for " a iarg-j xoom , " is a very small room . O'Connor spoke from tbe window to the people outside , I have a great objection to outside meetings especially on Sunday a ; and in the afternoon we crammed jtbe place with as many as could get in ; not
occupying any space with seats , but making rail stand . It was a regular hot-bath . I was glad to make a pause about the middle of my sermon , and throw off my coat and handkerchief , and unbutton my waistcoat , that tbe sweat might have free course to run Sown . At night I eonld not stand it , The " lads" were obliged to inrn oat , and I spoke from the window . On Monday evening , I addressed them on Organization , and other matters . They are splendid fellows at Loughborough ; but a little fiery ; and no wonder , when one looks at their wretched poverty .
From Longhborongb I went on Tuesday to Derby . Here tbe Theatre had been taken . It was just ; at the close of the great Agricultural Meeting and Show ; when the town had been like a country fair for the-wbole week—all the streets filled wiife booths of showmen and publicans , and all the ingenuity of ' •* civilized man" resorted to , to ** gl ^ an np the pence . ' * Sncb a time was , of course , a bad one for a meeting ; many had not the means j of paying the small sum which the friends charged ; to clear expences . But we had a good meeting notwithstanding : the gallery well filled , but not crowded , -with honest ** workies" ; while the p » COniaiaed a great number of middle class men mixed among " , of whom there were also a sprinkling Lin the box ©' . They had advertised me to lecture on tbe Accordance of Ghanism with Christianity . The subject seemed to excite much attention ; the
audience was most attentive ; and the friends say th * t ihe lecture has done our cause much good in removing prejudice . , On ^ Wednesday , I went to Nottingham ; here to the great credit of tbe authorities , the people were allowed withont difficulty tbe nse of their ovrn splendid hall , the Exchange Boom . I was neveron a much finer room , and never saw a room better wedged with human beings . I question if another could have been crammed in any how .: How many went away I inow not . Many middle class men were present . I spoke at great length ; nearly three hoar a . 2 ?© t a man flinched ; all were apparently S 3 xnnch interested at the close as at the beginning . I was to be at Arnold the next night . Several Arnold friendB were . preBent , and requested that they might haTe the same preachment . This becoming known a great many of the Hotfegbam * lads " evinced their liking of it by going next evening four miles on foot to hear ii over again . __ _ _ l
At Arnold m had a most comfortable Tea Party at the Grey Honnd Inn ; after which J edinea toe " lads , " in the Ranter ' s Chapel , -which the trustees hadiifldly lent them for tbe purpose .. 1 had an excellent congregation , and preached a Bermon as long as that of tbe night before . I I met -with one thing at Arnold that pleased me to tbe very bobI : a sure evidence that daylight is dawning in upon the workies . " The sick clubs have drawn out their money from the Savings Bank and the Bag shops , and invested it in land . Whole fields haTe been pnrchased and divided into small garden plots among their members , for which alight rental is paid to the clnb . The advantages , of this , to the institutions , are many . Their funds are secure : THB BAXK WILL SOT BKEAX ; THEIR MONEJ WILL BE USED ALWAYS FOR THEm
BEKIFIT AND KOT FOR THEIR OPPRESSION ; their funds pay better interest than before ; while they derive indiridoaliy a great advantage from this afp-licaiion of them . Thaa

are they better able to pay their contributions than they would be ] if the money were banked with Government for their oppression , as before ; and this " banking" of it in mother earth , by the additional interest it pays , gives a drawback to each member of some pound a year already , which will , of course , increase-as their funds accumnlate and they acquire more land . This is glorious ! a beginning of good things I O I it did my heart good to walk over those gardens and to see the savings of the poor man thus sensibly disposed of . All honour to the Amold sick olnbs 3 Let all dabs follow their
example . : Os Friday , I made my way to Sutton-in-Asnneld . The day fixed fir this town was the worst that could have been fixed . The whole year migbthaye beengone over for the selection , and I could not haTe hit upon another day on which it was so unlikely to get up a meeting . On Friday evening the poor stockingers are always "hard np f * finishing their week ' s work , which mast be in on Saturday morning ; working very late ; and having neitber an hour nor a penny to spare for anything . This was Friday evening , and it was the Friday evening before the ** feast " The lads 'were sadly" off" at my coming on this evening ; they would fain have had some other ; bui it conld not be ; We cannot always command
circumstances ; some place mast have that identical evening , and it fell to the Sutton men ' s share . They made the best of it ;] and we had a good meeting . Chapels , school-rooms , and public buildings of all sorts were as usual closed against us , and there would have been no alternative but open air speaking , had not a player-showman had mere Christian feeling in him than all the parsons . He had erected a large pavilion for his exhibition during the feast week ; and with great cheerfulness gave the friends the nse of it for my preachment ; and bad a night as it was we had it well filled . I had ranch pleasure in here meeting the Rev . Mr . Linwood , Unitarian Minister , of Mansfield , about three miles from Sutton ; a talented and most gentlemanly man , who . I learn has , during his residence m Mansfield , deserved the thanks of all good mm by an nnfiinohing assertion of the rights
of the poor . Mr . Linwood ' s pulpit and chapel are what pulpits and chapels ought to be ; the media of expression for God ' silaw—the law of right ; and he sets the praiseworthy example to his order of denouncing class legislation as a moral wrong and as anti-Christian and unsoriptural . The friends had requested Mr . Linwood to take the chair , and he at once assented . I speechified for more than two hours , and at ths close , proposed a vote of thanks to the kind player for the use of his pavilion , in doing which I paid some well-merited compliments to the pious gentlemen in black , who had refused ub their chapels . Mr . Linwood left the chair for the purpose of seconding my resolution ; and though I thought I had tolerably lashed the hypocrites , my scourging was a whip of small cords to which he added scorpions . I afterwards learned that some of them were there . I hope the admonition they received will profit them .
The Belper men had followed me to Derby , and I could not get over their importunities . Visit them again on Sunday I must ; and 60 I had nothing for it but to take liberties were I can . My own dear Hull people were lefttin the lurch , as they hare often been , while I went abroad : I knew they would not say "astray . " They love me too well to prevent my doing all the good 1 can ; and as there seemed to be some prospect of good at Belper , I went therein- ' stead of to Hull . I preached twice in the lodge room at the Leopard linn , and left the people , having received from them a promise that they would meet on Monday night and reorganise for the renewal of their struggle in the holy war . Monday evening I addressed the men ! of Sheffield ; found them as usual , firm , earnest , ardent , and determined . There
iB no nonsense about Sheffield . They are men of the right sort . The Town Hall had been refused us , and the lads" were compelled to put me into their own room , in Fig Tree-lane . They have had it tastefully beautified since I was there . It is now a very handsome room ; but rather wanting in size . However they made a hot bath of it and I was glad to strip again . Many too , especially females , finding the heat overpourmg were compelled to " get out " before I had done , whiob was not till near eleven o ' clock . I was in ill health , and once or twice obliged , from sheer exhaustion , to sit down abruptly and take a few moments to regain strength and compose the throbbing of my poor head which was almost splitting . However I went through my work , and the people bore with , me and thanked me
I have now had a day or two ' s rest , aud shall have another or two before shaking the warm hands of my Scotch friends , with whom I hope to be next week . To prevent all disappointment , let me here state the places in Scotland to which I am invited , and at which ( D . V . ) I purpose speaking— Leith , Edinburgh , Aberdeen , Moutrose , Arbroath , Dundee , Glasgow , Paisley , Greenocfe , Hamilton and Campsie . Of these vbe five last lie in a sort of cluster ; while the six former are mostly wide of these and of each other . I am desirous to economise my travelling expences . as I think every man should be who travels at the people ' s cost ; and 1 have therefore laid out my routes in " lines" as much as may be . I snppose I shall reach Leith on Thursday sometime , from then to Monday night I give myself to Leith and Edinburgh ; Tuesday I take steam ship for Aberdeen ; Wednesday I attend the festival at Aberdeen ; Thursday I
preach there ; Friday I take steam boat to Montrose , and give them Friday evening ; thence on Saturday to Arbroath where I speechify at night ; and take tbe rail on Sunday morning for Dundee , so as to preach twice , it' need be , to my Dundee friends on Sunday . I stay Monday over , and speak on Monday evening in Dundee , or any place in that neighbourhood , in which my services may be required . I take steam-ship on Tuesday for Edinburgh , and thence go by rail to Glasgow ; so that on Wednesday , the 16 th , if all be well , I shall be ready to address my Glasgow friends ; on Thursday , the 17 tb , Hamilton ; on Friday , the 18 th , Campsie ; Saturday and Sunday , 1 shall spend in Glasgow . Tuesday , the 22 nd , I give to Paisley ; Wednesdays the 25 rd , to Greenock ; whence I return by water to ' Carlisle ; thence to Newcastle ; Sunderland , and Shields ; and bo , home .
Thus , I shall not be idle in my recreation . Indeed , 1 cannot be idle . I live to work , and must do so while I can .

The deceased was a member of the National Charter Association in Manchester , ever Bines ita foimation ; and was held in great estimation by a large circle of acquaintances and friends . In compliance with Wb ovin desire , expressed a short Itime previous to his death , the Chartists of tne Carpenter ' s Hall locality determined upon
following him to the grave in procession . The afternoon ' s meeting in the-Hall yraa therefore adjourned , and a band of music engaged , which preceded the Sunday School children and a ' great nombar of our Chartist friends , to Seddon ' s house , in Back Qaeen-street , where the hymn commencing with "Great God ! is this the patriot ' s doem ?

We are assembled for the hallowed purpose of paying a aincere and heartfelt tribute of respect to the memory of our deceased { friend and brother , who , during his life , proved beyond the possibility of a doubt that he was a true friend of his fellow man , Insomuch as he
imbibed and promulgated the sacred principles of truth , justice , and universal liberty . Hia unbending adherence to those principles , bis genuine and virtuous love of them , has been tbe cause of his death , inflicting a heavy and much-to-be-deplored loss npon bis dear relatives , who are now shedding the scalding tears , flowing from hearts riven with poignant grief and anguish . The friends of . their departed brother may also be seen weeping with unaffected sorrow and regret , that another has been added to the list of martyrs la the cause of political ) freedom . Yes ! Our much respected brother George Seddon was a martyr ; His death has been caused through the cruel and unfeeling treatment be has received . 1 It ia now my painful duty to narrate briefly , a history of the facts connected with it . Mr .
Doyle then went through the principal facts < f the ease , iu which he shewed that Mr . Seddon was arrested in the month of August last , by a party of the Manchester Police , who dragged him out of bis bed add from bis home without allowing him time to put on bis clothes . They took him away from the bosom of bis ! family , when he had nothing on but his trowaera and waistcoat , being without either stocking or coat . In this state be was dragged to tbe lockup at tbe Town Hall | and confined for two ' days and nights in a damp and dirty ceil , without a bed lo repose his aged bodjijph-errdolhea to cover him ! The mercenaries of tbe law , called policemen , would not allow him to bave bis coat to put on , until the third day after his arrest From the Town Hall he was taken to the New
Bailey , where he remained nineteen days closely confined ; and during that whole time he was never nndreased , there not being room , in the arst place , the bedsteads being too narrow for two ' persons to rest npon ; and , in the ) second place , even If ? they bad been wide enough . He dnrat not lie down on them for fear of the filth . The bed clothing and steads were literally swarming with vermin . After being Itept in confine ^ ment for twenty-two days , Ae teas liberated , IHERE BEING NO MANNER OF CHARGE A « aINST HIM t What was tbe result of this barbarous usage ? The result was , that he got a eurfeifc of cold , which produced the moat excruciating bodilj pain , causing a complete : disorganization of his whole system ; and it finally put a period to his existence , after nearly eleven months of acute suffering . The recital of these
facts cansed horror te thrill through the vast assemblage . Mr . Doyle then , in an impressive manner , recounted to hia audience the exem plary patience manifested by the deceased while suffering ; and also his never-tiring enquiries about the progress of the good cause of Chartism ^ as well as the pure delight he evinced whenever he heard of a single triumph by the people over their enemies . In an energetic manner he called upon them ito imitate such virtuous and heroic fortitude , as that saanifested by their ever-to-belamented brother , V the martyred Seddoo "; and hie concluded by pointing' out the necessity of the honest sons and daughters of industry uniting for the purpose of establishing as the Haw of the land , the great principle of democracy .

THE ADDRESS OF THE NORTH LANCASHIRE DELEGATES TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS , We cannot close tbe deliberations of this day , without calling your attention to ajfew topics which we consider inseparably bound np with your social , moral , and political salvation . [ After repeated a ' ppeala to your judgment and reason , it gives us some consolation to hear aud see a more lively and energetic spirit manifested iu our various localities . Much , very much , however , remains to be done , before you are up to the mark ; before you can present a countless moral phalanx , and manifest that giant power which union alone can evoke . Let us have no more dormancy , apathy , or inattention to tho bounden duty which we owe to God and man . Aid , assist 1 and fraternise with each other . Let debating societies be established for the
edification and instruction of the rising generation , that they may be induced , by a love of patriotism , to incorporate themselves in our ranks . Let subjects connected with our march fer human redemption be proposed for discussion . "Prove all things ; hold fast that which is good . " The number ' of Chartist speakers ia far too small . Let us ( enlist the 88 ivieea of the youop , the ardent , and the virtuous . Cany out , as far as possible , the principle of j' exclusive dealing . " Deal only with those who are friendly to your claims . We also implora of you to dash from your lips the pipe , and the debasing demoralising ciip cf intoxication . Abandon and denounce the consumption of that which has proved a most prolific sou . ee of vice , crime , misery , destitution , and prostitution ; which bri immolated at its shrine ita tens of thousands of devotees , and produced tbe worst poeBible consequences to man .
We would also recommend to your serious consideration the question of the Land , coupled with out National Organization . It is , in onr opinion , eminently calculated to facilitate , strengthen , and propel with certainty and success our much maligned and persecuted movement ; and finally bring about the accomplishment of thai for which ( every lover of his country ought to concentrate bis energy to effect ; the Safe , speedy , and successful termination of our righteous movement . j Iu conclusion , let us advance together . Bound together by the enobling ties ' of justice and liberty , let these twin emblems of happiness glow within our bosoms and animate our minds . No other cause can impart such heavenly , such hallowed sentiments . Let us , then , as we love out common country , as we hava the well-being of our families , kindred , and posterity at heart , perseveringiy agitato until we attain triumphant success . Then can we sing with the poet ;—
" Shine , shine , for ever glorious flame , Conaeling gift from God to man ! From Greece tby earliest splendour came . Take Freedom take thy radiant round ; When dimm'd , revive ]; when lost , return ; Till not a shrine on earth be found On which thy glories shall not bum .

HUDDBRSFIEItD . —DisxRicr Delegate Meeting . —On Sunday last , according to announcement in the Northern Star , a meeting of delegates from the
different localities in this district was holden in the Chartists' Room , Honiey , Ppr . Kelso from Huddersfield in the chair , Mr . B . Brown acting as secretary . The various subjects of the Organization , the Conference , the time of holding it , the place of meeting , the desirability of securing ] the active aid and cooperation of our Scotch brethren , the Victim Fund , and matters of local business , were severally brought before the meeting and canvassed in the best spirit . The result was the passing of the following resolutions unanimously ; and to them the attention of the Chartist body is most especially invited : —
1 st . " That this meeting ] of delegates is fully of opinion that great advantage would accrue to the Chartist body by the holding of a General Conference of Delegates , to take into consideration tho different plans and suggestions thrown out for the re-organization of the Chartist ranks ! to assemble at as early a period as is compatible wish due consideration and arrangement . " I 2 nd . "That taking all things into account , we are of opinion that the first week in September would be as early a day as it would be prudent to fix upon for the holding of the said { Conference ; it being of the utmost importance that every locality should deeply consider the nature of the step they are
taking , and make all their arrangements in a busin ess-like manner , without tiurry and confusion . " 3 rd . "That this meetingjof delegates would beg to express their deep sense ] of the high advantage that would result to the Chartist body in general , could such & plan of Organization be adopted as would secure the cordial co-operation of both the English and Scotch Chartists in one general body ; and they would earnestly cap upon their brethren , the Chartists of both countries , to take this branch of the subject into their most serious consideration ; and to fix upon such a place ( of meeting for the holding of the Conference as will be mutually convenient for delegates from both countries . "
4 th . " That this meeting , without expressing any opinion as to the merits of particular plans of Organization at present proposed , ] cannot pass over the opportunity of declaring it as their decided conviction , that in any plan that may be adop ted , it will be essentially necessary to combine with the General Agitation of General Principle , a legal scheme FOR A PRACTICAL EXPERIMENT UPON THE LAND by those ioho have the desire and means to accomplish it ; inasmuch as such combination will secure to the
whole body legal protection , and many other advantages sufficiently obvious ( without enumeration . " 5 th . " That this delegate meeting , having read the appeal made by the Victims tb Persecution , inserted in the Northern Star of Saturday last , now suffering in Kirkdale gaol , is of opinion , that the charge of neglect brought against the Chartist body is fully justified ; aud that it is high time that the Chartists generally took the case of j tbe Victims into their most anxious consideration , and adopted means to procure and afford the necessary relief . "
6 ih . "That we highly approve of tbe suggestion of the Editor of the Star , tbajf a General Victim Fond be immediately raised by subscriptions from the Chartists and their friends all through the kingdom ; out of which , all \ necessitous Chartist Victims and their families shall be relieved , without favour or distinction ; and that we hereby call upon our Chartist brethren to cease ail efforts for individual cases , and apply themselves energetically to the raising of such General Fund . " 7 th . " That wo also approve ! of the suggestion that
tho Manchester Chartists should appoint a committee pro tern ., for the disbursement of any funds now in hand ; having every confidence that our Manchester brethren will appoint those who will do justice to every victim whose case may be submitted to their consideration , distributing the funds according to tho necessities of each case , anid not according to the rank which tbe applicants may have beforetime holden in the Chartist body . [ Means for the establishment of a permanent Tictim Committee may be devised by tbe contemplated Conference , when it assembles . " J
8 th . " That a Lecturer be engaged for this district for a fortnight . " j 9 th . That Mr . Davis , of Hawick , be the Lecturer if he be at liberty to accent the ! engagement . " 10 th . " That Messrs . GledhiU , Cunningham , and Dyson be a Sub-Committee to receive the answer of Mr . Davies , and make out a route for him , if he accept the engagement . " j 11 th . " That these resolutions be sent to the Northern Star , with a request to the Editor that he will insert them . " « # ? r 1 ? tiiM ? - tlwa . " ^ P « d t 0 Srad » y . August 6 th . Each one departed to his tiome , highly eratified
witn tne cars proceediLgs , arid at the brightening prospeotof Chartism in the dis riot . The lulUmsiA by the btrJkevPlot will soon again be succeeded by the ^ healtby breeze of Legal Agitation . Tne spirit and feeling evinced by the delegates at this their meeting , carried hope and consolation home to every heart : hope that the good work will be engaged in more heartily and move persevermgly than ever : and consolation that in tho worpfc of times there are a gallant little few who cannot be forced to abandon the cause , whatever may be th « baokening it is doomed to receive .
