f Mr . Otteraos , too , has adduced other proofs o file demise of Chartism . In Manchester he enrolled 1300 Chartists ! is Huddersfield 223 \ in Bradford 222 j in Newcastle and neighbourhood 1 ^ 00 ; and in Edinburgo , in « ne night , 550 ] Thatis ,
3 , 395 CHARTISTS enrolled in one fortnight , ly one man , in five districts of the country i TerSy Chartism is dead !! In addition to these proofs of defunctness , let us also state that the Chartists of Leeds haTe just secured possession nrf the largest meating room in the town ; situate in the front street 5 and running ihe entire length of the Leeds Shambles ! They hare now a meeting room two bsmuxed feet long , which , will shortly be put into active requisition as a Chartist lecture room . There ib another proof of dead Chartism . Let Mother Goose go look at it j and then look at the Black Boy little parlour 1
Bat while Mother Goose proclaims Chartism dead , tohBTffosJtnffslQank it defnnct ! No : they haTe found it to be all-potent , invulnerable , and immortal . They daily see and feel its talismanic effects . Hence , in Goose ' s own borough we find that every gosling who aspires to a seat in the Municipal Council has to come forth clad ^ ap-a-pie in the impenetraable armour of Chartism ! And eren some are Income so zsaloua , ( for ihe time being ! J—that they
affirm their determination to " go further than the Charter . " Aye ; they are all at onee become downright thorough-going Republicans . What a mighty and a su . dd . en . change 1 Surely they will not return to Mother's school again ] Since they hare adorned our walls wilh green , " surely they will not again bedaub them with tollow . " We . shall . see We , however , opine , that the aspirants after Municipal honours are somewhat like the "Noodles , " about which Mother Goose makes so much ado . The
one ism arms to-day and at the back « f the counter to-morrow ; the other regiment—Goosey ' s own u Noodles , " though , dad in the Chartist coat of mail till Wednesday next , on Thursday ( when the polling is at an end ) may be seen as " Ygllow" as ever j ^ nd as ready to waddle at the heels of Mother Goose ! The Leeds Armual Canvas Market has been well supplied with fustian and hypocrisy during the . past week ; but ^ fewpurchassrs are found . The Burgresses have been so repeatedly taken in , as to make them more caufiou 3 . And they wfl ] , no doubt , keep an eye on the new converts to Chartism . i

" ™^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ r ^ r ^ ^ ^ r ^ f ^ r ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - ^^ r ^^^ r ^ r ^^ r n prir ^ F ^ r ^ r ^ r THE « LIBERATOR" AGAIN . THE POLITICAL "JIM CROW . " We gave in our last full particulars of the w BASE COMPROMISE" proffered By O'Coxkell , in his offer to barter " Uscosditioxal Repeal " for "FEDERALISM . " We commented in severe , but justly merited , terms , upon this shameless abandonment of principle , on the part of the Irish u Moses" ; and from ' all parts , —{ Ireland as well as England)—we have this week received Jpublic and private letters , warmly approving of the independent course pursued by us . Well , the ¦ compromise" took . With one solitary exception , that of the World , ill the Irish Repeal papers gave their acquiescence , silent or expressed , to the " New Move . " The Freeman ' s JauraaLthe Pilot
the 2 > rogheda Argus , the Belfast ' Vindicator , &c , Jtc 1 all flaming , uncompromising" iRepeal papers —all gave their silent assent . The Nation alone , of all the subsidized organs of the Royal , Loyal Association , " said anything ; and what it said was expressed in subdued tones of compliance with the vkase of the Dictator . All its big words and Mustering threats were "flung { to the wild winds of heaven "; and Young Ireland si once sacrificed its " high and haughty" resolves for Fatherland , at the shrine of self-interest ! as , when it burked the noble address of the Sheffield Chartists , it smothered its own sentiments , rather than risk the loss of its share of [ the " rint" plunder . And while the conductors
of the Tree Press thus licked the dust , they ? annonnced that the * greai" -Brummagem leader of the "half dozen comprehensible omnibuses-full" of " Complete " Suffragists , had visited the great Dakiel , and arranged with him the " abandonment" of "TJnconditional Repeal f that the said Joseph had proceeded to Cratofordslnmifto arrange with Mr . Shabmax Cba"ktobd , to take Aw p » ri in the new piece . The Monitor , a Federalist , was in ecstacies with the * new move . " In short , " all went merry as a marriags bell "; when , lo and behold ! the" Liberator " gave another twist 1 madbasothkrtubh ! 1 and again showed his dexterity in shifting the pea at the very moment that expectant Whiggery was prepared to lift the thimble !
Whether , notwithstanding the silence of his bribed - press , he had heard the rumbling of the thunder of popular discontent in the distance ; or whether he was galled by the taunts of the Tory press , to say nothing of the stinging sxr ^ xxr ^ t . of our independent contemporary , the World , and our own exposure of hisj perfidy and treachery ; and feared that these would tell upon the popular mind to the great detriment of his popularity , we cannot tell : but be that as it may , the turn about was taken ; and only fire days from the announcement of his " BASE COMPROMISE , " we find him again an
« UNCONDITIONAL REPEALER" 11 On Saturday he issued an address to the Irish people , which will be found in another column ; in which , after insisting that " in all and every event , peace , order , and absence of violence" should be persevered in by the people 1 he sets on to say B That Repeal must not be abandoned . " * Perse vere , " Eays he , * ' firmly and peaceably ; and the Hepeal is certain . "
If the Repeal ** mnst not be abandoned , why did he offer to abandon it only on the previous Monday ! If a the Bepeai 1 b certain , " why did he offer to *• compromise" only five days before ! 'Tis all very well for Mr . OTqskell to tell the people to " keep quiet ;" to pay their " proclamation" shillings ; and to " per-Bevere f but persevere in what ? thbt havz j > oss jlll he beqctred op tttrv : it is for him now to produce hi 3 " measures , " and give the people something to persevere with .
WHERE IS THE COUNCIL OF THREE HUNDRED ! Where is "the machinery to he worked io carry J&eppa }* ? Forcible means he repudiates . The cr * ren tone of the Nation lisping " with bated breath and in a bondsman ' s key , " shews feat the valorous threats of Young Ireland are all fndge I mere M win-penny" clap-traps 1 I We now tell CCoxxkll that his talk about " the Repeal being certain /* and his appeals to the people to ** persevere , * re rank humbug ! On Sunday , Mr . O'Coskell addressed two Ward meetings . At the Post Office Ward he appeared again rather in the character of a FEDERALIST . Trae , by way of clap-trap , he sud "let no one abandon the Repeal "; but he took care to add that
* Whenever he found an advance towards his side of the Question made by those who had never joined them HE XLWiT 3 "VEE 5 I HALT-TFAT TO MSSX IRSJU " This , of course , was " loudly cheered" ! Again , he expressed himself as being willing to abandon much for a ams justice f and then most consistently added : — "Se wanted perseverance for the restoration -of therr independent Irish Parliament ; and there let mm not be misunderstood . By independent , he did not mean > a Parliament independent of the Crown , bni of the other Parliament "
Can -any one make common sense ot this , ot regard it as common honesty .. Bat no doubt he spoke to ant his audience , composed , nost likely , in a great a ^ wre , of " respectables . " In the St . Andrew ' s Ward , on the same day , he held another meeting j and there no doubt having another sort of an audience , he went the " whole hog" with a vengeance * Give me" said he , ** Bui six months of perfect tranguiUiy , akd xp TOTT HaTE-JSOT A JPA 2 LIAXKHT IS COLLEGE-GREEN .

At the end of six monthsj O'Cohnell will be found to he the same bragging , lying moon , tebank he has ever been I Repeal will 710 / be obtained , Nor will his head be upon ihe block He is too " so // to ever think of that upshot . So " svxe as the rising of to-morrow ' s sun" , his prediction will prove to be a heartless mockery And those who " tremendously cheered" will have discovered to their sorrow , ( unless indeed they are in love with fraud and cling to deception ) that they have cheered a vain babbler , who had not the wisdom to guide , or else not the honesty to lead , a generous but ; too-confiding people to the goal of their aspirations .
We pass by his wretched display at the Conciliation Hall on Monday , other than remarking that he appears not to have been listened to so patiently as heretofore ; for he querulously complained of interruption and disturbance . He has taken a horror , too , at revolutionary ballads , though the " bloodand-thunder" songs of the Nation were once " very good songs" according to his evidence . With feeEng 8 of choking sorrow and indignation , we ask , * What does O'Cokneu . hean ? " We will answer for him . Re means to betray ihe interests of the human race , as he has
repeatedly done before . We said last week that if he was convinced he could not carry Repeal under present legislative arrangements , let him hoist the banner of the Chabtss , and we would be with him . But honestly ; were he to pretend to be again a Chartist , as he has pretended to be before , we could not—WE DARE NOT , trust him ! His preseat game h to sell Repeal ; and while making his preparations to that end , to keep up his popularity by occasional clap-traps . Yes j Repeal has made " a progress that has startled" even himself )
And now Piightened at the Bound himself has made , " he has resolved to back out of it : and so sure as the morrow ' s sun shall rise" he will do so . Yes , the " base cohfbomisb" will bs effected ; and Dam will save his bacon 1

Mt bkab Fsiekds , —If this letter is very short , you must excuse me . It is but six o'clock , or little after , and I was not in bed till one . Bat I will go at the work at once , from where I left off . On Tuesday last , I went to South Shields at night , with Beeslty , and had a chapel , the largest place we could procure , crammed full . I spoke at considerable length ; found that Williams , of Sunderland , and seme others had done us much injury in that locality ; but I think I revived their drooping spirits . I enrolled eighty-one 1 and left at half-past ten in an open gig , on a most dreadful night to go to Newscastle , along the coast . I was a most hideous figure . I had a large kind of linen hood of Mr . Roberts ' s over my hat ; and the people took me for " BecCa . " We got wet and cold before we reached Newcastle .
On Wednesday , we were to have our grand meetlog in the large lecture room , on the Repeal of the Union question j and a grand one it was ; the largest in-door meeting that they have seen for many a day . Irish , Scotch , and English Union Bepealers , and Corn Law Repealers ; Complete Suffragists , and Chartists , were mingled in one common mass . I spoke for more than two hours upon the Irish question ; and then submitted a resolution , which was carried amid the most enthusiastic applause .
Every corner of the building was fulL Thousands were obliged to go away . Every window sill was occupied j and I was frequently obliged to stop to allow fainting men and women to be carried out . I never , even in 1839 , saw so good a spirit manifested . I did not forget my after duty ; for 1 remained to enroll , and enrolled seventy-six more Chartists ; many of them Irish Repealers . I had to strip , it was so oppressively hot : and , though without my coat for nearly two hours , I did not take cold . At the close of my day ' s labour , I thought I had done my eonntry some service . Judge , O judge 1 of my feelings ; my horror , disgust , and shame , when Thursday ' s post brought me the news , that Rep eal has seer abandobed
Aye , abandoned ! given up ! SOLD , as I shall fully prove in a series of letters which I purpose to address to ilr . O'Connell , upon my return to England . I undertake to prore that FEDERALISM , instead of 6 iyis « " Iceland to the Ihish , " would give the English oligarchy greater power than they now possess . He is now to be prosecuted ; and I shall stay my pen . I shall not venture upon a single remark ; but , as an Irishman , I feel deeply the heavy blow that has been struck at my country ' s liberty : and I rely upon the Irish Pastors and their flocks for counteraction . I cannot trust myself upon the subject now , I will write about it when I return . I sh » ll then fiud time ; and then the Irish people shall see their real position .
3 go on with my narrative . On Thursday , I received the congratulation of all parties ; but many poor Irishmen came to me with tears in their eyes , and asked me : ** Wisha , your honour ; is it true that we ' re sold , and that Repeal is given up for Sharman Crawford's Unioni " On Tiinrsday night , I west in company with our excellent friend , Mr . Roberts , to Sunderland ; eleven miles . We went in a gig . The lamps went out . It was shockingly dark , and wa lost our way : but
arrived some ten minutes after eight . There is a very large Hall j and the people tell me that they could have filled four such . It was too full . A good working man was in the chair . I spoke at great length ; and Mr . Jtoberts followed me , with a tremendous blow at Master Williams and the Sturge Conference . His speech wm most rapturously applauded ; and although Williams was on the platform , he never attempted to defend himself . He had most industriously circulated a report that I dared not go to Sunderland . However , I did go ; and enrolled 200 members .
On Friday , I started with the indefatigable Beesley , for Seghill , a mining district , to attend a Chartist meeting , out of doors ; and , to my taste , it was a most triumphant one ; all Colliers , and all Chartists . I spoke from a niche in one of the gate piers of Lord Hasting ' s avenue , and had many of the middle-classes aad one overseer on horseback among my audience . A fine young Collier , Turnbull , wa ^ in the chair ; and Christopher HaswelJ , the honest delegate for the district , was in front of me . 1 expounded the " whole hog" thing . Beesley said I spoke too long ; but I enrolled ninety members in the open air . The landlord of the hotel where I put up , took his card also .
We then left for South Shields again ; and on Friday night , I gave them another speech there , and enrolled seventy-five more ; making one hundred and fifty-six altogether in South Shields . On my return , I had the pleasure of meeting Mr . Duncombe , who 1 was sorry to find labouring under a very severe cold , caught at Manchester , where he would speak in the open air . Satubday . —This was the day of days . The morning was awfully wet ; and yet I thought the procession of brave Colliers , with their banners and DnnJen-HB bands , would sever end . It cleared up about half-past eleven ; and Mr . Duncombe , Mr . Roberts , Mr . Beesley , and I started in a carnage and four for the place of meeting ,
five mile 3 off . I was very fearful about a gathering ; bnt when we got within sight of Sheddon Hill , now famous in story , it did make me jump . Bnt you shall hear Mr . Dnncombe ' s own words : — " Good gracious , where did they all come from ! I never saw such a meeting in all my life 1 " He was right . It wonld he impossible to go within 10 , 000 of tbeir number . I estimated them at 60 , 000 ; others went higher ; bnt it was as still as if we had been housed . Mr . Beesley made one of the best speeches 1 ever heard ; as did ilr . Roberts . Mr . Duncombe was received with roars of cheers and ¦ waviDg of hatB ; and in an able exposition of his parliamentary conduct , he gave the following illustration of what he termed justice . He said :- — " It
is not justice to impose a fine of £ 5 upon a man worth hundreds of thousands , and for a less crime to sentence a poor man to the treadmill . If we are to have equal justice , let . 'the master who has violated the law work the tread-wheel with his man , and theD the latter will believe that he has been justly dealt with . I would send the masters who violate the law for six months to hard labour on the treadmill ; and then we should soon have no more eomplaints . " Now , that was just what the men wanted ; and they expressed their approbation by cheering and elapsing of hands . A very flue fellow , Simpson , from Segfcil 2 ,-jnoved an amendment to one ot three resolutions ; which , after a calm discussion , was lO £ t , bnt few hands being held up for it . I take it for granted that you will have a report of these
meetings : for I merely Eketch them for you to snow the feeling and our position . On Saturday night we had a splendid Soiree in the Music HalL Many of the " Complete" chaps and " free-traders" were there : in fact , they have openly joined . Mr . Roberts excited their anger most dreadfnlly hy his speech : and , in speaking of the Colliers' movement , he said : — ** I wish my position 10 be understood by alL The Colliers do nndestand it . In the organizition of that body for the wages question , 1 recognize a strong auxiliary Chartist force . These wrists—showing them—have had the handcuffs upon them ^ Jive different times , for Chartism ; and my poor Colliers Co not think so meanly of me as to suppose that I am going even to give np the name under which I suffered !)—{ cheers , and "No , " " ,- " " we don't want you "} . "No , " continued

Mr . R ., "itiBmy breath , my life , and my hope ; and with God ' s blessing , I will serye my clients without disgracing myself or dishonouring my party' * . ' ^ Mr . Duncombe made a splendid sseech ; and concluded it with a full enunciation of the principles , aud a declaration that he was a Chartist , NAME AND ALL , and would neither abandon it himself or advise the working men to abandon it . It would be quite out of my power to describe the soeae that followed this plain , announcement . The whole meeting rose , and cheered for several minutes . I spoke after ; and poor Captain Weatherall , the Chairman of the League , wa 9 . obliged to make hie escape . He could not stand my defence of the course the Chartists had pursued . The Manchester Packer also addressed the meeting ; and when the business was over I enrolled seventy-eight n 6 w members .
Mr . Duucombe ' s two speeches on Saturday have raised us a hundred per cent . The people love him ; he is co explicit , aud divested of Parliamentary claptrap . He left for Edinburgh on Sunday j but , as " there is no rest for the wicked , " I was compelled to stop , and preach ; and to travel the 120 miles to Edinburgh all in one day by coaob . And I am glad I did . I learn that the place I preached in will hold two thousand . I was afraid that I had tired them with ten days' incessant talking : however , at six o'clock the room was crammed . I spoke at great length , and enrolled eighty new members . Now , about these meetings . Oar enemies say that we always exaggerate . But as 1 write for the working men , who love the truth , 1 can appeal to them if ev « r they saw bucq meetings , for a whole week and more .
On Monday morning , at eight o'clock , I left New castle for Edinburgh ; and 1 think I left it better than I found it , having enrolled nearly 1 , 100 members , and having revived a spirit which is not likely to be put down . Chartism is now more lively than ever in Northumberland and Durham . Edinbtjbgh . —I arrived here at eight , p . m ., and went off at once to Cecilia Hall ; a very very large theatre . I took my pack of cards , like a " pedlar " —but not a tbaffickihg ONE- ^ -with me . Boxes , Galieries , Pit ^ and Stage were filled : all olasseB , magistrates , lawyers , and all . But now for a dodge . The humbugs bad invited Mr . Duncombe to a Soiree , and without the knowledge of the working men . That party , —the humbugs . —amounting
to nine in this city , contrived to muster about two hundred to meet Mr . Daucombe . The Chartists isueed a bill denying that they had any part in the proceedings . Mr . Duncombe went there , and told them that they had a right if they professed the principles , to take the name ; and they all looked very bluo . He must have increased his cold there ; but when he came to our house , at half-past ten , we soon warmed him . He delighted the Modern Athenians ; " and they passed a vote of confidence in him , and in me . He again came out for " name and all ; '' and said that bad he gone to the Sturge Conference , as delegate from Edinburgh , he would not have consented to give up the name .
But Chartism is dead here ! Wait till you hear the proof ! I enrolled
550 MEMBERS ; and was so . delighted with every thing , that I have promised to be back here and at Leith on Saturday next , when I will make it up to 1000 . Chartism is neither dead nob dtinc . It has been injured by a Bet of greedy devils ; but the people have shaken them off . I have no more to Bay , but that I am juBt about to start for Dundee with Mr . Duncombe ; and that / do not find Chartism deadin Scotland ; but on the contrary , more lively than ever . Think of 550 members , with all the sneaks that have been trying to choke us in one way or other . I hope to manage the 25 , 000 yet ; and then the growlers will have something to bark at .

' 7 blch . * " « 8 O long pressed Heavily agon all the brashes
of the trade , and in devising the best means to remedy those evils . Amongrt the evils , tbose ef false marking , and the manufacturing of cheap and trashy ; article ., are the most prominent and baneful . To the former , the attention of a respectable and honourable company has very properly been directedthe , only regret is that it should have been bo long delayed . The latter evil is one which all , who at all understand the manner of its working , mast deplore ; and to remedy whica the Committee are about to use their best efforts , and , to enable them to do so effectively , la the object of the present appeal .
In toe Spnng-Kmfe trade ( during the last few years ) a class of ttanufactuteta have arisen , wbo , without capital or correct moral priuoiples to reguiate their conduct , have commenced a system of dishonorable competition with the respectable masters . To enable them to do so , the wages of the workmen have been reduced —the articles manufactured , have been in consequence deteriorated in quality as well aa reduced in price ; these have been introduced into an already over-atocked market , clogging up every avenue , deceiving the customer in substituting an inferior fora gehainearticle , bringing disgrace upon themselves , and ruin upoa the town and its manufaotUres . Perhaps ft may be said competition becomes unjust when the wages of the workmen and tUe credit of the dealer nave to suffer in order to support such a system . It is to stem the tide of such a torrent of dishonourable and disgraceful proceedings , that the efforts of the committee are about to be directed .
As a trade , the Spring Knife Cutlers have become almost proverbial as degraded ; and why ? Is it because its members are less intelligent than the generality of working men ? Wa answer , Not la it because they are less industrious , less ingenious or persevering than in other trades f We think not . It is because they have been worse paid , their industry less rewarded , and their labour worse remunerated . Ought , it to be ao ? Reason aud an enlightened philanthropy alike answer no ! Shall these things continue ? We hope not , and it is our purpose to break those shackles which have ao long bound us . Fellow-Townsmen , will you help us to do bo ? We hope you will , and we think we shall not be . disappointed . If we continue to fall , ethers must and will inevitably follow , if we rise , all will feel the benefit .
It is not to be expected that evils which have been years in accumulating can be removed in a day , or all at once ; but unless something be done , we feel assured that the reproach which has been heaped upon us by foreigners , on account of the inferior and trashy articles which have been sent abroad , and the efforts they are now making to perfect their own manufactures , Will eventually shut us out of the markets of the world .- " Be not weary in well-doing , " is the advice now given : upon the encouragement and aasiatinca you afford depends the future success of the cause ; and whatever others may do , you must , to the extent of your ability , render all the aid in your power .

TRIAL OF THE WHITBHAVEN " RIOTERS . " Cockermonth . Oot . 18 , 1843 . The trial of Daniel Garraty and James Doran , two of the party charged with having administered a sound and hearty thrashing to some seoeders from the Miners' Association , came on to day . The Court was densely crowded by per ions anxious to witness the rather novel display of "justices juBtice ; " and the bench presented a larger display of the " great unpaid" than we have ever before observed . Peile , Lord Lonsdale's agent , was not present ' there were rumours that he Was in bed , suffering from a flagellation administered on , the proper prominence indeed , but rigourou ? ly and rather unskilfully—the operator having made up by a strong and untiring arm for his deficiencies in " Cardigan" science . The rumour , however , was outte unfounded .
Mr ,. Roberts had been specially sent by the Miners Association , to defend their brethren ; and , with his counsel Mr . Greig , sa . t immediately in front of the Chairman . Mr . Ramshay was counsel for the prosecution . Our readers are familiar with the leading features of the story . The Colliers of Whitehaven are a most Si evously oppressed race of men ; more so eren than eir brethren in Durham , Stafford , or other coal distriots . Their wages for the most part hardly exceed six shillings per week ; and for this miserable pittance they are constantly exposed to the miseries of a foul atmosphere and the danger of sudden death . During Ihe few last years , more than six hundred lives have been sacrificed , which might HAVE BEEN PRESERVED BY A SMALL EXPENDITURE by the coal ownebs . From this horrible state of existence they had no hope of emerging , until the establishment of the Miners' Association , and the
appearance of Mr . Brophy , the talented and energetic lecturer seat by that Association , to instruct them in the benefits to be derived from a cordial union . Mr , Brophy ' s argumentative appeals to their reason worked a change in their minds . One after another , and by tens and hundreds , the men joined the " Association " , and looked forward with hope to a : peaceful and successful struggle with Capital . The natural and necessary result of this could not , of course , be concealed from the masters . They held several meetings , at which Mr . Peile was very active ; and at last entered into a solemn league and covenant to employ no pitman who would not sign a pledge to belong neither to the Miners' Association , nor any other Association for the Protection of Labour , for the term of two years . This wanton exercise of tyranny provoked a feeling of independence ia the Pitmen . All , or most of them , refused to sign the pledge , and were immediately turned oat of employ .
Two members of the Association , named Garrowway , father and son , were , soon after their joining it , bought over by Peile ; they signed the obnoxious pledge ; earned the love of their master , and the intense hatred of their fellow-sufferers ; and were permitted to return to their employment . One result of this , —who can doubt it!— : was , what some people call ; " a good licking . " Others speak of the thing as " a sound thrashing . " When we were boys , we should have chronicled the act in our everlasting memory , as " a thorough good hiding , aud no mistake . " Lustily , vigorously , and well was the castigationadministered ; they'll ; remember it" a long time to come . :
Garraty and Doran had been active members of the Association , and had done their utmost to keep the Pitmen firm to their principles . The prejudice against them was therefore strong and bitter among toe coal owners . Evidence was prooured . A little goes a great way ! The coal owners are the Magistrates . The men were committed for trial , and great was the joy of the masters . The trial was just what might have been expected . Nearly all the magistrates on the bench were either owners of collieries , or conneoted with them by marriage , A . o . The witnesses were the two CJarreways * Who hod been" licked . " Their falsehoods and preyarications were most gross . One swore thas on the evening when he " cotohed it , " it was as light as day -. the : other that it was 80 dark that he should for lantern that
not have known the prisoners but a was held to their faces I When before the committing magistrates , only one of the prosecutors swore to haviDg seen the prisoners at a particular spot : at the trial both prosecntors had seen them . All these were pointed out in the eloquent and powerful speech of Mr . Greig , but he might as well have spoken to the Winds . . , The chairman " summoned up . " The jury laid their heads together : —* Guilty , my Lord . " And then the -magistrates retired to " consider the sentence . " ip Ihow they chuckled ! Feeble old shanka rattled and crackled with joy as they hobbled outand then they hobbled in again . " Eighteen months imprisonment and hard labour" was the sentence on Garraty : and " twelve months imprisonment" for Doran .

Several times during the trial the name of Mr . Bropby was mentioned , and it was curious to observe the effect on the magistrates . They actually groaned with passion . What a world of good that man must have done , to elicit such a tribute ; such a convincing proof of his power , from such a tribunal 1 They literally writhed with agony , every time the name was uttered . ] Some , indeed , who might be supposed to entertain a hope of catching him , smacked their lips j as if crushing the bones and licking in the gravy of a young snipe , When the witnesses spoke of the effect produced by his lectures . We would not giro much for his chance of an acquittal , if tried at Cookermouth .
A rather curious scene occurred at the commencement of the trial , lit was observed by the whole Court . The Jury had given several verdicts of " otcouiHaP' in cases where evidently a verdict- 0 !' " Guilty" had been anticipated ; and when the ' \ Colliers' Case" was called on , the Coupsel for the prosecution intimated that he should like another Jury , that in the box being " too merciful . " Then ensued a rapid " telegraphing" between the Bench and the prosecoiorfs attorney , or rather PeiJes ' attorney . The result was , a confidence in their minds that it was " al' right . " Immediately on the verdict being given , Mr . Greig moved in arrest of judgment , on the ground that the
Quarter Sessions had no jurisdiction in cases of conspiraoy . But his argument was addressed to unwilling ears . Id availed nothing . A heavier sentence was anticipated by those who knew how deeply the magistrates were interested in putting a stop to the Miners' Association ; and heavier it would have been if the prisoners had not been most ably defended . Bnt the presence of Mr . Roberts , as the recognised legal adviser of the Union , had a beneficial effect . The result of this trial is yet to be jaeeo : we think it will add strength to the cause which it was intended to destroy . 1

THE EXECUTIVE TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Fellow Countrymen , —We are again compelled to address you in a state of uncertainty relative to the Enrolment of onr Rules . Our legal adviser , Sergeant Bodkin , will not be able to give his opinion until tomorrow morning , which will be too late for this edition of the Northern Star ; though We trust to communicate it in a later edition . But whatever tfae ^ legal decision may be , we have still a most important duty to perform ; a duty to you who have placed us in oar present position . Is jCh&rttnato be abolished because its details may not be in accordance witk a Government official's interpretation of the Friendly Societies' Act ?
Are the acknowledged principles of justice and liberty to cease being promulgated , because of Tidd Pratt ' s decision ? and is that ; cause which has flourished under persecution ; which has grappled with the storm , and blanched not ; which , despite of oppression and the oppressor ' s power , has grown from infancy to manhood , now to be blighted by a mere passing gale 1 or shrouded in oblivion by the legal dictum of an hireling lawyer ? Forbid it patriotism !! We cannot think so meanly of our fellow labourers , las to suppose they will abandon the high vantage ground they nave obtained , and sink into the tame , submissive vassalage to which the factions would willingly ! reduce them .
Men of England 1 | Arouse from your apathy I Do you acknowledge the ; principles of Chartism ? if you do , we call upon to prove your sincerity by hoisting the banner of the National Charier Association in every town in the Kingdom , and , marshalling your forces under the New Organization . The time for party contests has gone by . The struggle is Aow between Labour and Capital . The bad laws and wretched contrivances of modern legislation have placed thesa two essential requisites for prosperity in deadly opposition to each other . Hitherto Capital
has been triumphant ; and Labour has been dragged in captivity at her chariot wheels . Our struggle shall be to emancipate Labour—to place it upon an equal political footing with Capitil : and never till this is achieved can amity exist between them , or the interests ef the one be made consistent with those of its rival In this arduous undertaking , we claim your support . We demand your co-operation . Backed by you , we will fearlessly prosecute it to success : but unless we receive your active assistance ; unless you , as working men , depend on yourselves , and do your own work , you will ever remain degraded slaves .
In order to assist in carrying the Organization into operation , we advise- the Chartists to send to us for election lists of persona qualified to become members of the General Council of the National Charter Association . This list raust be confined to seven persons , Including sub-Secretary and Treasurer . One person should also be nominated to fill the office of district Councilman . ; The ^ meetings in eiach itown must be meetings of Chartists ; and not meetings of the National Charter Association . This must tea strictly attended to , to avoid the fangs of the law . Cuds will ba supplied to members after the first quartar free of expenee . Any further information required will be supplied on application to the Secretary , 243 , } , Temple Bar .
Brethren : from many important districts We have not yet received applications for cards . To what recion are we ta attribute this sluggishness ? Is the spirit of Chartism so extinguished , that it can be no more kindle ? Is it from apathy , or from the machinations of interested parties ? Whatever may be the cause , we trust the ! effect will speedily cease : that wherever Chartism had previously raised its giant head , there again will it rise with renewed vigour from ih seeming slumber , and march onward to victory . Let " naion" be our watchword , Let the organization bo our rallying point . Let unjust suspicions be banished ; honesty and trustfulness of purpose be our characteristics ; and we fear { not the result . Thomas Clark . Henry Ross , : Philip M'Grath , President . Thomas M . Wheeler , Scwe ? - j . London , Octobar 25 , 1843 .
SOUTH SHIELDS . —Moral Force of the Fbeebootebs . —Cowardly and Murderous afsault ON Mr . Kydd . —As Mr . Kydd was walking from his shop , 16 , Barringfcon-fitreefc , on the evening of Tuesday , the 17 th current , about half-past seven o ' clock , on passing St . Hilda ' s Church , dose to a dark corner of the market-placa , he received a severe stroke from some person behind { him on the eyes with a thick dog-whip . On turning round , he discovered the assassin to be Mr . James Bell , ship broker , and secretary to the South Shields section of the Anti-Corn Law League . Mr . Bell attempted
putting the whip handle into Mr . Kydd ' s mouth . In this he was unsuccessful . Mr . Kydd , with an amount of caution and self-denial seldom practised under similar circumstances , stood , coolly remarking "that were it not for disgracing himself , he would trample him under his feet . But he knew better , and would troat him ! in a different manner . " Mr . Kydd called for the police in vain . At last , finding Mr . Bell likely to effect his escape , he seized the whip by the shaft , turning the thong round Mr . Bell's hand , and separated the two , putting the handle into his pocket . Mr . Kydd then took Mr . BeJl a prisoner to the polioe office . I The case , we believe , will be tried at Durham Quarter Sessions , in January . 1844 ,

One of the civilians in company then toated— " Success to Repeal , and a speedy downfall to O'Connell . " Scarce were the words uttered than a general row commenced .
