My DEiB fioBSDK , —Smca I last wrote , I hare attended the most numerous , as well as the moat enthusissSe meeting , that has beea holden for some ijnje 5 n BksSoL 5 ie Infernal Leaj ^ us iiaT e succeeded xaJbinjiBgi » p' | be room whereiihe Cnsrtiste formerly joel ; however , we g&V TJyan ' s immense circus , and fflledit to tie xooL . There were many gallant Irislmea presenV ^ So a , p peaTealpari 5 cnl&rly interested ; and * &ecwBole srent <> ff gloriously , and gave strong promise of a good xesaltirom an Improved Ejsten > of Organizition . On Saterdsy I attended a public mer iting-at Trowbridge ; the most spirited that I ixve seen since the bouncing demonstrations in 1829 . The people turned out , and between six and
seveno ' clock , met Mr . Iloberis and me , Tvith a band , abont ainDefrom the town , trMch we eniered amid cheers and great rejoicing . ! Trowbridgeis one of the old clothiag towns thai ias J > een xnined by the Leeds trade ; and the inhabitants aoj being so irinnh mixed as those constituting ibe ^ population of one of oar large modern **_ 3 ae ? ls /* sfilLpresents a distinctness of character , fiisHngirishaile as "srell in the similarity of accent , as in that of dress . He growing yonUs of Trowbridge are the Etxaightest , cleanest , most lively , and intelligent lads I ever saw in any life . Y « a know how useless 1 $ is to guess at numbers ; however the oldest man of 1 Kb town declared that he lad never seen anything like it ; bo jon may judge that the spirit has not died sway there . After ihe procession , I
addressed " the people in a large chapel , ^ and they ± ell me list I -gave great satisfaction . 1 am going to paddies tne people of Frome to-night , to take satisfaction fjjr my wounds ; and in speaking of Irome , I am sorry to be obBged to add , that I learned ihe injuries sustained are more numerous than I lad any jsoiioa of . The learners isring IJTeparefl Joi an active campaign in this district "which was to have commenced after ihe prorogation « f Parliament , are siark staring mad at my present Tisit ; while the poor-Sturgites have been fairly knocked off the one crutch that we left under them at rforptujfoTftT I am yours truly , F .

PS . —On Monday evening , I proceeded "srfihmy friend , Mr . Roberts , to Fxome , and was met outside the town by a band , and . a large procession ; the committee informing me that the enemy had mustered in great numbers , and armed with stones , and provided witli iorns , as a means of annoyance , ¦ were determined to drive na -ont of the town . J asked wnere they proposed holding their meeting , and they told me in a field a little outside of-the sown- I then told them not to go out of die way , But to go through the market place , which was then in "riew , and literally crammed with >» mr |? m beings . Onr procession : marched up , "being by this time increased to thousands , with band playing and colours Jiving ; and , npbn ihe junction -of the hostile armies , sB took off their hats , and cheered together , the
intended assaSaats joining in the procession , and COEsriniiing the most attentive portion of my hearers . Alter our meeting , -which , I understand , gave general satisfaction , -we again fell into line , and inarched through the town , where we parted shortly to meet again . On Tuesday , J left Bath to attend fire joeeting ai Tower Hamlets , which locality I "had mistaken for Bermondsey—a circumstance that occasioned great confusion ; but , notwithstanding , we had one of the most spirited meetings I ever attended in London ; and they srere perfectly satisfied with the disappointment , npon my promise to address them again in the same place on Menday next , the 6 ih instant , at seven o'clock precisely . And now J have to reqnest particular attention to this feet , viz . that I wfl ] ha there at seven , and commence mv address at that hour , if not more
than three are collected , as I have nearly twelve zalles to go after the meeting . F . O > C-

The lecture upon Repeal , on Monday night , wag a masterpiece ; it told well . A good many of our Irish brethren were present , and evinced their satisfaction by repeated applause . Mr . Doyle dwelt upou the attempt of certain parties to cause a disunion betwixt tha Engluh Chartists and the Irish Repea 2 erg , acd he called upou his Irish brethren to pay no attention to these libellers of the great body of the working men of this country , but to judge and act for themselves . Tho visit of Mr . Doyle has done great good to the Chartist cause in this town . '
GLASGOW . —At a meeting held in the Young Men ' s Academy , College-street , on Friday evening , Mr . Burns in the ehair , the rules of tho Association , as amended , were unanimously adopted ; after which almost every one present enrolled their names , and notwithstanding the tickets being now issued at a uniform charge of one penny a-year , many paid sixpence and some a shilling . Mr . CoJquhoun appealed to their more fortunate friends , not to take advantage of the penny charge , but to come forward in a spirit worthy of the cause in which they were engaged . He intended paying as much for his ticket as he did last year ; the penny system ha . d been recommended to suit the altered circumstance of many of their best friends ; he paid half-a-crown for hia ticket last year , and he would pay tho same sum this year . The ordinary business being disposed of , Mr , James
Adams introduced the eubjeot of Mr . Hill ' s visit to GlasRow aBd after paying a high compliment to that gentleman for his unswerving advocacy of the people ' s cause ; be moved that a soiree in honour of Mr . Hill and the principles contained in the People ' s Charter be held on the evening of Wednesday , 16 : h AugusfcJ ; seconded fay Mr . Mitchell . This was warmly supported by Mr . Dennis , Mr . Millar and others , and carried by acclamation . A committee was then appointed to carry out the resolution . A vote of thanks to the chairman , and the meeting quietly broke up . The unprincipled and treacherous Whigs arc at their work once more , but I am bappy to be able to eay , that these sneaking poltroons are at last taught that their career is coming to a close —yes , the day is approaching when the mask will be torn from their accursed forms .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Wednesday . The adjourned debate on the Irish Church was resumed by , Mr . Tkelawney , who advised the House to taka into its deliberate consideration , that they must either abolish the Established Church in Irelaad , or submit to the alternative of civil war . Sir R . H . Iiieus followed , criticising Mr . Ward ' s plan for redistributing the revenues of the Irish establishment . The member for Sheffield , though belonging to the established Church in England , Would coolly rob the sister Church of 17 s . 6 d . out of every pound sterling of her income—would put a halter round her neck , with , the other end of the rope
in thehands of her bitterest enemies , and drag her to dishonour and destruction . ; The Earl of Listowex warmly and emphatically condemned the past policy of England towards Ireland , the blame of which he did not wish to throw on any existing party , but which now required to be dealt with vigorously and impartially , if we wished to retain the affections of the people , or to preserve the union . Lord Beknard contended for the apostolioity of the Church of England in Ireland , which he supported , not because it was the Church of the majority Of the empire , but because it was essential to the welfare of a Protestant state to maintain the ascendancy of the Protestant Church .
Mr . Cochrane said , that the maintenance of the Union was involved in that of the Church . . Mr . "Viixiers Stuart contended that the question of the JEstablished Church in Ireland was not one of religion but of property—not of faith but of money . - Mr . Hardy , considering that the primary function of the established Church in Ireland was to preach the Gospel , defended it on scriptural grounds . While he was speaking , notice was taken that there were not forty members present , whiqh proving to bo the case , the House adjourned at eight o ' clock .
Thursday , Aug . 3 . A long conversation ensnedon the "counting out " of the House the night before , when it appeared thai the cause was the non-attendance of the " liberal " English and Irish Members . A conversation also ensued on the Scotch Church BUI , and then some unimportant business followed .

"Rebecca" still continues at work . Toll-gates disappear as if by magic . The troops are harrassed beyond measure ; but they always happen to be just where they are not wanted ! and the parties they are out in quest of always appear upon the spot just vacated by the soldiery . The parties who were apprehended , as announced in our last , have all been holden to bail . The main charge that seems to ' be against them is that of assaulting Captain Napier , the officer . As for the . " information" said to have been given by a
" Rebeccaite" traitor , it is held not to be worth one pin . His wife says he was in bed with her at tho time the Tolgoed toll-bar was demolished ; and whioh he has hoaxed the police into the belief that he was present at . She also says that he is not quite baked in hi 3 upper garret : bat soft as he may be , the police seem to be softer still . Respecting the present position of affairs we have received the following by the last post on Thursday , from a correspondent o £ our own , whom we thank for his attention , and trust this is not the last of his favours : —
Swansea . —Sir Robert Alarmed . —To-morrow ( Wednesday ) being the day fixed for the re-examination of the parties charged with a participation in the doings of Rebecca , no small anxiety is shewn by the " powers that be , " lest an outbreak of some kind or other should take place upon that day . We previously bad a strong body of infantry ( more than the barracks could accommodate ) , stationed in the town ; but this powerful force was deemed wholly inadequate to protect the liege subjects of " our Sovereign lady the Quetn , " against the formidable powers of the all : conquering Rebecca . So wo have to-day been favoured with a fresh importation , consisting of a troop of the 4 th Lignt . Dragoons—fellows with lone mustaehios and
longer swords—and two additional companies of infantry , who look aa if they required some Welsh mutton to restore vigour to their exhausted frames . I waa up at Newport last week and saw some flying artillery , " destined , no doubt , to mow down or to blow up Rebecca ' s daughters , when they catch them . In short , the whole district is in a ferment . Our worthy Mayor , honest man , is at his wit ' s end . A few days ago , some haymakers were returning frond their work , carrying a comrade shoulder high , who had actually the hardihood to cry " Rebecca for ever J" But as this waa , of course , a species of high treason , the Mayor , it is said , struck the delinquent with a cane , gave him over to the fokcb , and afterwards held him to bail . A subscription ia going on to enable the party to prosecute the Mayor for an assault . Yesterday I had occasion to call at the police office , and 1 found those worthies furbishinc ub old nistols . each With a
face as long as a fiddle , and appearing mortally afraid that some serious onslaught was about to be made . A lot of arms have been found in the possession t of a respectable person in this neighbourhood , the investigation about which has been strictly private ; but the party has been held to bail . The copper-makers turn out on Monday next ; when I am informed that an attempt will be tried to make it a Chartist strike . Should such an attempt be made I shall certainly he there , and oppose it all in my power , as I thjnk this kind of fan has cost us dear enough already . I forgot to say that the testimony against the Rebeceaites is not worth , a straw , as the only witness against them was a man who was quietly in his bed while the . whole game was played . At least his wife Bays so ! Should anything of importance occur tomorrow , I shall send you word in time fora second edition .

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Thubsday . Lord Brougham brought bflfoxe the House a " stupid , ridiculous , malicious , and false libel" upon him , which had appeared in the Examiner . He would not , at this season of the session , move for the party to be brought before the bar , but would do so next session . Lord Campbell said it was a breach of the privileges of the House ; and he doubted whether Lord Brougham could give notice to bring the matter before the House next session . He thought they must deal with it then .
Lord Brougham said he would put that aside . He should proceed at law and prosecute , and they should then see whether the law had any protection to afford the Members of Parliament .

MAliCHESTBH . —Cabteniebs' Ball . —A disenssion npon the propriety of amalgamating the land question toih the agiiation for the Charter took place in the large ante-room of die above Hall , on Sunday afternoon last . The attendance w& 3 numerous and respectable , and the whole business was conducted with the greatest harmony . Several persons havinj ? expressed their opinions , the subject was adjourned for iurther discussion on Sunday next , the chair to be taken at half-past two o ' clock in the afternoon . On the bvsong of the same day , the large Hall "was densely crowded in every part by a highlyrespectable audience . The proceedings commenced by our numerous and tfficient choir singing ; a Chartist Hymn ; after which , Mr . O'Hisgins'a letters to
i /> ra £ uot were read from the Star . Daring the reading the most breathless attention pervaded the vast assembly , only interrupted by expressions of the deepest sympathy for a people subjected to the unmerited persecution and heartless crnslty ao vividly ponrtra . yed by Mr . O'Higjjins . The Chairman then introduced Mi . " James Leach , who was received , with every possible mark of respect . Mr . Leach commenced by thanking hi 3 audience for the kind reception he always met when addressing his Manchester friends , and proceeded , in a style peculiarly his own , to expose the consummate hypocrisy of the men who , although they call themselves anti-monopolists , and make great pretensions to philanthropy , are the greatest enemies against which the vrorking da 3563
have to contend . He gave a description of the many stratagems made use of to effect reductions in the price of labour ; and shewed , by arguments the most clear and convincing , that nothing short of the Charter would enable the toiling millions to effectually resist further encroachments upon their only property . He concluded with a powerful appeal to his hearers to enrol themselves as members of the National Charier Association , and thereby prove their love for those sacred principles of which he was the humble advocate . Mr . Leach sat down , amidst long-continued plaudits . We feelprond in having to state that the appeal made by Mr . Leach was not made in vain , for at the close of the lecture twentysix persons joined the Association .
OVBB DAHWBN . —Camp Meeting at Bull Hill- —On Sunday last , the Chartists of Blackburn and Bolton held a camp meeting at this place ; and , notwithstanding the day was very unfavourable , the meeting was a bnmper . It had been previously arranged that the Bolton friends should hold a meeting at the village © f Turton , on their way , at eleven «* dock in the forenoon ; after which they would move in a body forward to Bull HilL But owing to the very heavy rain , it was found impossible ! to hold the meeting . The speakers were therefore compelled to put up at the Globe Inn until it was
time to proceed on their journey to meet the Blackburn friends . About one o ' clock , Sol began to show his face , giving promise of a floe afternoon . The people , therefore , began to prepare for ihe road , all their proceedings being narrowly watched by police in plain clothes . All things being ready , and hundreds of people waiting to see them start , Mr ^ Dix on jumped into a vehicle , and addressed the assembly for about half an hour , aud was listened to with the greatest attention , with the exception of a little interruption from a drunken farmer , who resides at Turton Tower , and "who had been boasting that he was the chief constable of Turton . Odb of the
inspectors of tho police told him that if he did not behave himself , he would be under the necessity of having him locked up . This had the effect of making the man , who an hour before was swaggering that he was the master of all the police , slink ; away , stripped of all his pretended authority . Mr . ] Bixon told them as the wet had prevented them from holding their intended meeting , he would , if it was fine -when he returned in the evening , address them upon she all-important subject of Chartism and its objects . Hsvin ^ arriv ed at Bull-hill , it was a phasing sight to see the hardy sons of toil wending their way up the rallies and over _ ihe MIIb to the appointed spot were the meeting was to be holden , which "Was marked out by & fU g flnttering in tae breeze . The
people were not a little amused to see the stir amongst the peaee-preservers . Police inspectors driving about in gigs , giving their instructions to the privates , who were all in plain clothes , except one who drove one of ihe gig ? . In fact it appeared that they were afraid that the ChattistB "were going to take the mountain , called Black Hill , away on their backs : for one of the county magistrates had demeaned himself by coming in the character of a SPY upon oth « r men ' s actions , being dbissed cp in the GABB OF A BBOBES DOWN DBOVEB . Mr . Walsh , frcm . Blackburn , was unanimously called to the chair , and he opened the meeting by giving out sn appropriate hymn , which was sung in grand siyle . After this be addresFed j them ui tsiivitime air
• a * aau T . neu uurouueeu . . Mickle , from Blackbnrn , who addressed- them upon the necessity of Organization , and the inculcatinjt the principle of fcrotfiexly kindness amongst each other . He also told the meeting that it was necessary to have an Executive as a governing head ; but unless they attended to the Organization of their various localities , it would all be to no use . Mr . Mickleconcluded with an earnest appeal to them to bestir themselves in earnest in the great work of a nation ' s freedom . The chairman then introduced Mr . Dixon , from Manchester , "who said , when he looked npon that Task assembly , he conld not for one moment believe that they were all enrolled Chartists . In this and all other mixed assemblies ,
there were persons ot different opinions , and parties who came for different objects . Some might come ont of curiosity , and Bome to ridicule ; whilst QtJserS might come for the more manly purpose of hearing what Chartism was , and thus judge for themselves out there were others who came for none of these purposes , but to -watch the speaker ; and , if in the heat of the moment he should drop an nngn&rded word , to catch that and take it io their employers to see if they could make " sedition" of it . He ( Mr . I > ixon ) was glad to see men of this description on his right and on his left ; and-also one for his foolman—( laughter ) . He hoped that they-would take heed to what he said , and give a correct account to those that sent them . He was glad to see ; them there ; but he must say that he would rather ; have seen them in their own clothes , than in tho garb of spies . He would really assure
them though , thai the Chartists did not fear spies . Their actions were all aiove board , and therefore , so far as they were concerned , tee spy system was useless . Bnt as they were there , and being the guardians of the public peace , he hoped that they would neither break it ihemselres , nor allow others to do so . Mr . D . then went into an explanation of the principles and objects of the Chartists , arid addressed the people for near two honrs . " He concluded by calling upon the people to commence doings their owa worfc :, or it wonld never be done . The Chairman gave out another hymn , and the meeting separated . When the Bolton Cbariists entered Turlon on their way back , the people were avvaiting their arrival . Mi . Bixon addressed them , according to promise . The friends arrived back to Eolton berwixi eight and nine o ' clock in the evening , highly delighted with their day ' s pleasure .

CARLISLE . —Meeiinq of the Council op the Chabtist association . —On Sunday evening last a meeting of the above ; named body took place at their room , No . 6 , John Street , Caldewgate ; Mr . Robert Graham in the cbkir . - After some preliminary business -was disposed of , the members of the Council took up the subject of the Victim Fund , the necessity of which was warmly advocated ; after which the following resolution ww moved by Mr .

"
This is a step in the right direction , which would have been taien much sooner by the people , had they really known the absolute necessity of it -Had a plan , which we laid down many months ago , been laid before Mr . O Connor and others at Lancaster , as ft ought to have been , -we ha-ve every reason to believe , that long ere thiB a well-managed Yietim Fund would have been in operation . What was our plan ? It was this . That the Chartist Councils in every locality , where there ¦ were victims , make a regular and faithful return of the number , giving their jnames , their wives , ( if any ) and the number of their families ; also a full and particular statement of the cixcumstances of the various families , and to -what extunt they ought to be assisted . This return we proposed having signed by tte chairman aud
Secretary of each Association , aud sent to the Central Committee , who -would seu it their duty to make a faithful record of all the returns made to them . Being thus in possession of decorate information , the Central Committee would see the necessity of publishing in the columns of the Koiihem Star , a full account of all the cases , the extent of their necessities , and the amount likely to be required iy the Committee , to meet those necessities in such s way aa to save all parties involved from suffering anything like want- Thia must now be done without delay , and done too , in that effectual way which "will Beeure to the Committee in Manchester , the
means of acting with vigour and effect The wife and family of no good honest Chartist should be allowed to suffer ; more especially-when he himself is suffering the worst of treatment in sous cold and humid cell . No ; every thing should be done to afford him comfort and consolation , by endeavouring to dispel the cheerless gloom of bis dungeon 2 nd to calm the perturbation of his troubled mind , by affording that support which bs circumstances so imperiously demands . . Let him see that thesB -who have hitherto received support and succour from him , be not allowed te pine in want and misery , aud become ihe prey of ihe cold-Blooded master ia a Bastile , where
" Smiles are scarce as cooling wells Upon the arid wild i Where frowns are withering as the ll hells " Are to the factory child . " We need not pursue the picture any farther , for it is familiar to all thoughtful and intelligent Chartists . The wife of the patriotic and talented Cooper , is about to be dragged from a sick bed and thrown into the street , because her house rent and taxes are sot paid . Forbid it Chartism ; forbid it every feeling of gratitude aud respect which the Chartist body generally owe to this man ' s able and honest advocacy of their principles Why has Cooper got so severe a sentence 2 because he had the boldness and ability to drag the monster of corraption from ids den , and exhibit him in all bis hideouaness toy the world . His able and talented exposure of the doings of the League , are not to be estimated , and ought never to be forgotten by the people , =
