BABH 81 VBT . —Coalpit Explosioh . —One of the most awful and distressing accidents that ever took place In this town , or it ever fell to oar lot to record , happened aboat half- ^ ast ux « ' « k > ek on Monday morevbg . Just as the men got to their work at Mr . Twibell's eolliery , a firedamp explosion took place , and no less than fifteen of our fellow creatures were burned to death , and five more are only just alive . The alarm and excitement that hare been created in the town and neighbourhood , it is impossible to describe . At an early hoar the bank at the pit was covered with thousands of people , all anxious to ascertain the fate of the unfortunate sufferers . This mournful catastrophe has filled the whole town and neighbourhood with doom : and the
distress of the relations and friends of the unfortunate victims is beyond all description agonizing . The deprivation to them will be truly grievous and irreparable ; and we trust Bome publio effort will be made to Boften , so much as sympathy and charity can soften , its sad effects . Fifteen bodies in all have been got oat of the pit , quite dead , their names being as follow : —Three of the sine of Hinohcliff >>—an uncle and his two nephews . Junes Deacon and his son , a grown up youth . Walker , ( who has left a wife and child J Scholey , and MitchelL There is something particularly touching in this latter man ' s ease ; he had brought three bodies to the p it-bottom , and was in search of a fourth , when he fell a Bacrifioe to the dreadful and subtle element and his own
exertions . Three brothers of the name of Walton , and a fourth not likely to recover . Thompson , Schofield , PeaBe , and M'Carty , the latter an Irish lad , literally roasted . The depth of the pit , which we are informed Us but badly ventilated , is about 180 yards ; and thongh several rumours are current as to the cause of the explosion , but little of a Tery certain character can yet be said of it . All , however , agree that it originated in one of the men going vrith a candle into an unsafe part of the pit for his tools . The concussion was heard and felt too at an immense distance . It was like the report of a field of artillery , and shook down a wall near the pit . A young man named Walton was blown out of the eorre , whilst descending the shaft , and literally dashed to pieces ; whilst , singular to relate , two
others who were desoending with him escaped with but little injury . This was the first time he had attempted to go down to his work since being severely burnt about three weeks ago . One of the most singular traits of this distressing accident , was the preservation of two of the boys descending in the eorve before adverted to . Although actually blown out of the corve , they dropped into it again a 3 it went down ; whilst , as we hare stated , their poor companion fell t » the bottom and was killed . So abundant and overpowering was the baleful vapour which occasioned tbia dreadful calamity , that it was observed to issue from the shaft-month for full three minutes after the explosion . An inquest was held on the bodies on Tuesday , and a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned .
HuIX . —Pubuc Mestisg at the Towm-Haix . In compliance with a requisition , signed by 124 householders , a large proportion of whom are voters , the Mayor has appointed a meeting to be held in the Town-Hall , at one o ' clock , ob Monday , the 6 th of December , to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament to take into consideration the present defective state of the representation of these kinddomain the Commons' House of Parliament , with a view to its amendment . A soiree will be holden in the evening , at the Freemason ' s Lodge .

SOCHDA 1 E . DEMONSTRATION IN HONOUR OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . On Tuesday last , the above demonstration took place , aad the dupiay made on the occasion of the moral power of the people has proved that the men of Rochdale are not last in showing their love for liberty , and their attachment to O'Connor , for his firm a ^ hoMn ^ to the principles of T 7 niv « ml Liberty , and justice to the whole human family . Eirly in the morning , groups began to arrive at toe Ca&rtist Association-room from various unrounding districts . As the hour appointed for the meeting began te draw near , the anxiety of the people became intense . Parties were in waiting at the Railway station to convey the intelligence of his arrival to the Committee appointed to
carry out the demonstration . At the hour of twelve o ' clock at soon , a carriage and four drove up to the station , accompanied by the two marshals , and a great somber ot the friends oi our Ciuae , who , upon the arrival of Mr . O'Connor , formed into procession ; and , headed by the m > T *> ini « and the powerful band of the Chartist Association , proceeded down Date-street to the place ut meeting in the Botia . There were several Tery beautiful flags in the procession—one from Todmorden in particular , a silk one , with the representation of a bee-hive in the centre—on the Ttrena , a furious bull , pursuing a nest of Bishop aristocrats , and other wholesale plunderers of the people . On the arrival of the carriage at the place of meeting , Mr . O'Connor was greeted vrith tremendous cheering , which lasted several minutes .
Mr . &sokgs Hows , jeweller and watchmaker , waa called on to preside . Mr . JdB » Leech moved a resolution to the following effect : — " That in the opinion of this meeting all the poverty and destitution -which at present afflict the manufac ivicg classes of this country is t&e result of dan legislation , and that the obJti remedy win be , to make the People ' s Charter the law of lne land ; and that thii xieeting agree again to petition the House ef Commons immediate )? to pHce the Charter upon the Statute book ; and that this meeting pledge themselves never te rest until the whole of the people are taken within the pale of the constitution . "
The resection was seconded by Mr . Jos . Xwet . Mr O'Cox . nok . then rose and made a brilliant speech , which was loudly cheered , but for which -we hav « not room . We understand , however , that his unmerciful fiagsllatton o ( the Sun newspaper , for a leading article -on Monday last , wherein the monster directs . the incendiaries' fittention to Buckingham Palace and the Museum , wbs responded to by cheers and " bravo Feargaa , " which lasted for several minutes . The distinction made by O'Connor , between an Innocent and unoffending woman and an irresponsible monarch , was t ** j -beautiful . Upon the whole , be gave the " firebrand press" a tremendous castigation . Thus writes oer correspondent . We regret not having space for Mr . O'Connor's admirable speeeh . The meeting was attended by several thousands , who showed by their conduct that their motto was " Peace , law , order , " and that they will never be satisfied vrith anything less than their just and legitimate rights .
A . t the conclusion of the meetirg a procession "wraa ' onned , and proceeded through the principal streets , accompanied by the band , flags , && 3 Ir . O'Connor was sainted from the windows of several friends of the cause , as the carriage proceeded through the streets , with tokens of respect and esteem . The precession Snally accompanied Mr . O'Connor to Mr . Tweedale ' s Hotel , Bailie-street , Tfhere he -was again greeted with lond ai . d enthusiastic cheering .
TEA PABII iTHE ITESIG , At five o ' clock , the hour appointed tor the public tea party , the Temperance Institution , adjoining the Theatre , was beautifully decorated with banners , flags , mottos , and deviees belonging to the association , -when upwards of 400 sat down to tea . On Mr . O'Connor entering the room , he vas greeted with loud cheers . The party enjoyed themselves in mirth and harmony un : il the hour appointed for the public meeting in the Theatre . Long before the hour appointed the Theatre ¦ was crowded to suffocation , and numbers west away unable te obtain admission .
Mr . George Howe -sras again called to the cha : r . The first toast of tfee evening was " The People , the Bouree .- f all legitimate power , " which was responded to by Mr . James Tatloe , in a very neat speeck . Toe CHAisuis then gave " The People ' s Charter , and may it soon become tne law of the land " Mr . Thomjs Ljvset was called on to respond . He svl-i he was glad the committee had selected that subject for him to respond to , for he firmly believed that this csnntry would Dever be justly legislated for until the principles of that Charter became law . Under our present system of legislation we had every kind of property legislated for except labour . The Landowners , thfc East and West India Proprietors , the Church , and
the law . cad eacn their representatiTes , and each was protected , and by their political power were enabled to extract a great amount of wealth out of the labour of the people ; but if labour was lepresented the system would f .-o put an end to . ( Hear , tear , and cheers . ) [ At this stage of the proceedings the harmony of the meeting was in some degree intenupted by a Tory churchwarden , who appeared to be in a state of intoxieaton . He -was appealed to on his impropriety , and shortly afte : Wirds took his departure ] The -speaker proceeded—There is now a plan ef emigration proposed to remove the present unemployed portions of the community . If the Government wanted to remove ary of the useless classes of this country , let them begin by emigrating all the Bishops , parsons , aristocrate , lawyers , and other pests of society—( Joud cheers)—whose only labour is to live on the best of the land , and to be planning how to wring another farthing from the starving operative . If we had at the present time
a great number of unemployed labourers , they should look at the cause , which was owing to excessive taxation , by which the starving people are prevented from purchasing the goods of the manufacturers , and thereby giving increased employment . He was sorry that the town of Rochdale was to-morrow to be phced under the power of the Rural Police ; it was a disgrace to the -Tory party , who had petitioned for them , and thereby stamped their character with infamy . He called upon the people to single cut the parties who had signed the memorial for their introduction , a « d if they dared to come before the pnblic , to mark snch infamy by every means within their power . He thonght that Rochdale , above all other places , ought to be exempt from such an unconstitutional force , for they had shewn themselves capable of managing their own affairs , by sending to Parliament a Ban who was an honour both to them and the country which gave him birth . But their introduction was the result of disappoicte party

motives , and the people would never forget the party that had caused their introduction . The act will be the means of annihilating the last hopes of a faction that have ever disUngsiabed themselves by crushing the liberties of the people . Mr . Limy resumed bis seat amidst protracted cheering . The next toast was " Frost , Williams , and Jones , and may they speedily be restored to the bosom of their disconsolate families . " Mr . Joseph Linnet responded in a very feeling and affectionate manner . Mr . John X . &ach then presented an address to Mr . O'Connor , whleh he did in a complimentary speech . An address was also presented by Mrs . Sarah Ashworth , on hshalf of tha females of Rochdale .
Mr . O'Cosnob , 1 b reply , addressed the assembly for upwards of an hoar , in a speech replete with glowing eloquence , convincing argument , and deep pathos , which was only interrupted by the enthusiastic cheers of his auditory . The concluding toast was " The Tjinramhire witches , " which was responded to by ] Mr . Thomas Cook , in a abort and humorons speech , which was well received . At the conclusion of Mr . O'Connor ' s speech , he called upon all the persons in the meeting to come forth and join the Association , and appointed Mr . J . Livsey treasurer for the M'Donal ] Fond . After tha meeting , the band struck up , and dancing commenced , which was kept up to a late hour , to the evident gratification of the youthful portion of the meeting . Thus concluded one of the most orderly meetings ever held in this town , and it cannot fail to be bene-Icial to our rightful cause .

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN . M ? LOaD , MAX IT PLEASE YOUR LORDSHIP , —I should have presumed to address you a few days past , bad I not felt a delicacy in trespassing on your valuable time , at a period when you must have had ample employment in receiving the effice and honours of civic dignity , to which you have been lately exalted ; but as the excitement and bustle consequent upon such an occasion are , by this time , I should hope , greatly
abated , and yaar I < ordship is now beginning to fee ] yourself at home in your new quarters , I may , as an Irishman , be permitted to a ? k—was it indispensiblt ) that the man whom the people of Ireland so long confided in as a friend and a patriot , should accept the office of Chief Magistrate for the City of Dublin ? or was it merely to eojoy a triumph over the fallen faction whom you displaced ? If the latter , I will only say I do not envy you your glory ; but if the former , I ask , of what benefit to Ireland will be jour acceptance of euch an office ? Will the cause of Repeal gain anything by such a course ? I rather think that many persons will take example by your Lordship , and be Repealers in private , but not in public
My countrymen have ever been too credulous and confiding , and this your Lordship has had many proofs of ; they have ever given you eredit for consistency , without even inquiring whether you merited it ; but they must be blind indeed , if they cannot now see you in your proper colours ; for not content with the many thousands of pounds which they voluntarily contributed to enrich you , you covetted the paltry toys of effice , and to procure them " registered a vow" that no man should know yeur political opinions . Now , my Lord , I have no objection to your silence , or to yonr office ; nor do I begrudge you tbo honour of feasting on venison presented by the officer of a Tory Government ; but I do feel hurt to ste my fellowcountrymen made the willing tools of your cupidity ana ambition .
There is one thing , however , which gives me a great deal of pleasure , and which I have no doubt will gratify your LordBhip exceedingly ; namely , as you havo been heretofore outrageously violent in your denunciations of Chartists , and would by every possible means attack the character of '' Torch and dagger men , " to show that yeu have now the opportunity to examine , and the power to punish , should you find any sack within your jurisdiction ; that you have the will lo do so there can be little doubt ; therefore , if we find no convictions amongst the seven hundred honest Chartists of Dublin , you will be obliged to admit that Chartism is not so " terrible a thing" as your Lordship has taken so much pains to represent it
1 have no doubt your Lordship will keep your promise aa respects your silerc-a on political matters , but 1 nave no wish , sare to furnish you with a few hints occasionally , which your Lordship can either uiuso npon in your easy chair , or reservo until heaven releases you from the solemn engagement y » u have so voluntarily mada I have the honour to be , Your Lordship ' s most obedient , Humble Servant , W . a Clifton . Bristol , 74 , West Street

Invited to visit Nottingham , Sutton-in-A&hfield , and Mansfield , and accepting the invitation , I left Sheffield at two o ' clock on Wednesday , Not . 17 th , taking the train ( ox rather tha train taking me ) to Derby ; a hard frost the previous night had dried the streams , covered the earth witij its wintry man tie of white , and made the atmosphere piercing cold . 1 shall not pretend to give a description of my ride to Derby—enough that about a quarter to fear o ' clock we reached the station at Belper , and now 1 began to feel myself at home , the country was not nev to mt ; but though I had travelled tee road several times between Derby and Belptr , I could tc ^ rctly believe my senses when , after a few minutes" rapid whirl the well-remembered pleasant little Tillage ot Doffield glided ( apparently ) by me , a few minima more , and Derby "hove in sight" There was the town wh « re I had while yet a boy brsred per-

secution , and in Brandreth ' s death cell had laid me down nightly on my prison bed ot straw to dream of the fntnra when tTraanyaboald wliher ao 4 , dW . and equality , freedom , and justice nign triune sarer ^ ign of a liberated world . In that town whew those musings erf entbnsiasm were nurtured , which at » subsequent period found vent in speech , and brought down upon me the denunciation of open enemies , and the slander of pretended but falsa friends , I was called madman , fool , traitor , fee . ate . And why ? because I spoke what Iftlt ' O , eonld 1 feel what I have felt , or be what I have
beenr—Says the poet ; bnt , that may not be;— 'tis a hard lesson to learn , to a young heart beating with the love of truth , that " language was intended net to express bat to conceal man ' s thoughts / ' bat , 'tis a lesson that all must lean , and all must ui ore or loss act upon . Talleyrand baa been denounced as a monster for giving expression to the above sentiment j he was a monster , so doabt , bat he wm bat a littie monster ; the great tyrannic monster is society , that practically proclaims and enforces the above rule . Am I asked , do I act « pon that role ? I answer , yest for I do-not now speak all that IfeeL I feel more than tongue or pen can tell—much more ! In that town of Derby I once had friends" friends of my youth f perhaps by them I am now forgotten . Bat why pursue the subject further ! the recollections of the past are painful , and if they recall a few gleams of sunshine , they serve bnt to render the
darkne 38 of disappointment more visible . We reached tke Derby Station about ten minutes past four o ' clock—that station with its innumerable office * and rooms of refreshment—its gas illuminationits scores of carriages and engines—the countless throng intent on business , pleasure , or other pursuits , that fill its walks in one twenty-four hours—is one of the proudest trophies of man ' s skill and labour to be found , probably , in any part of the world . But » murderous social , or rather anti-social , system poisons alL The men whose ingenuity and toil have here made beauty and solidity to everywhere greet the eye—whose right arms here have wrought that which to be appreciated tuust be seen—these men , nature's nobility , are treated as outcast Pariahs by those who profit by their toil ; even on these railways , these " modern improvements " on the old system of travelling , your " third class passenger" is treated worse than the dog of the aristocrat , —and why I Because he is poor !
" How long by tyrants shall the earth ba trod ? How long thy people trampled on , O God T " I had hoped to have been ablo to have spent an hour in Derby , but finding , unless I took the first train , I could not leave until half-part seven , I had no alternative but to proceed . Accordingly at half-past fear I left Derby in tne train for Nottingham . I sat next a gentleman , whom , entering into conversation with , I found much opposed to the railway system of travelling , on the ground that the " third class passengers " were treated with neglect and insult . Finding ourselves agreed on this point , the conversation turned upon the present state of the country and public affairs generally . 1 found my new acquaintance to be a bitter foe of the aristocracy and a stanch Com Law repealer . The Chartists , of course , came in for their shore of abuse for opposing the philanthropic schemes of the cheap bread
gentry , my acquaintance expressing his conviction that the Chartist leaders were in the pay of the Tories . Taking no notice of this last absurdity , I set about showing him the impossibility of the middle classes carrying a repeal of tha Corn Laws unless aided by the working men . I justified the conduct of the Chartists in standing out for political enfranchisement , and T flatter myself made him half it not wholly a convert . He admitted that the suffrage was the right of the people , but feared it weuid only be obtained by bloodshed ; that I snowed him was a vain fear ; that would the middle class honestly join the people , the Charter would be made the law without the shedding of a drop of blood , or the loss of a single life . Ho assented but doubted if th « middle classs would join the people ; but added , Uiat sure he was Reform must come , or Revolution would come . Having reached Nottingham we parted .
At eight o ' clock , I addressed a crowded meeting in the democratic chapel . I was most heartily received , and shall long remember with pleasure , the kindness with which I was treated by the Whig-hating Chartists of Nottingham . The cause is steadily progressing ; the worst obstacle is the extreme poverty of the working classes , but where men ' s hearts are tight this difficulty may be surmounted . Justice demands that I should here pay a passing compliment to that honest patriot James Sweet , who is regarded as the life and soul of the movement in Nottingham . He kas the universal confidence of the people . Long may he enjoy what he so well deserves .
Thursday , left Nottingham per coach for Matisfiold , on my way to Button ; our road lying through a part of the far-famed Sherwood forest , tho scene of the exploits of that immortal tfng of good fellewa , "boldRoVm Hood . " I was not awnre until too late , that at one point of the road I waB within a mile of Newatend Abbey , had I been aware of this in due time , nought shonld have hindered me treading the " holy ground , " sacred to liberty ' s noblest bard . But on my next visit , I will atone for my past offence—nothing shall then prevent we worshipping at the poet ' s shrina
Reaching Mansfield I found certain friends waiting my arrival ; in their company I proceeded to Sutton . At seven o ' clock I addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting in the Hope Inn , Mr . Joseph Alvey in the chair ; I must do ihe men of Sutton the justice of saying , tbat of all the men I have met with in England , they appear to me to be the most determined and hearty in the cause . They nobly supported the first Convention , and had all England been like Sutton , the Charter would then have beea law , but such waa not the case . Well , have the men of Sutton allowed this to damp their spirits , or destroy their energies ? No ; on the contrary they are now , us before , in the van of the democratic army , steadily extending their organisation , collecting funds , and procuring signatures te the petition . God speed them , ia uiy prayer , and may the men of every other locality reading this—" go and do likewise "
Friday , went to MansfieM ; I here found tbat our " old . friend \ rith anew face , " Mr . Murray , of Manchester , late of Liverpool , was to lecture the same even-Ing on " Corn Law Repeal . " Mr . Murray ' TiBlt WUfl very fortunate , as the Chartists not having a room where they could hold a large meeting , had intended to liave called the people together in the Market-placo ; this owing to the state of the weather and extreme cold , was impossible , ns aucb I agreed with the Council to summon our friends to hear Mr . Murray . Tboy needed little summoning , and by halfpast seven , the room ( large r . nd commodious ) was well filled with Chartists and Corn Law Repealers . Mr Hamilton proposed that Mr . Dutton , a Chartist , should take the chair , som « per . ° on proposed another gentleman , whoso name 1 did not catch . A show of hands was taken , when by a sweeping majority the Chartist chairman v . as elected .
Mr . Murray th « n delivered his lecture , upon which I need say nothing . I th * n replied , and after speaking about half an hour , moved the adoption of the foil owing resolution : — " That while this meeting consider tho existing Corn La 77 to bo unjust ami oppressive , and one that ought to be erased from the statute book , thay are also of opinion that the said law in but one of the numberless evilsundev ¦ which the working classes labour , the rosuU of cla :-fi- ! eg ; slation ; and this meeting pledges itself to acitati-. for do measure of rtform short of the People ' s Charter . " Mr . Murray moved the following crafty amendment : '• That the Corn and Provision Laws are unjust and ought to be repealed . "
About fifty hauds were held np for tha amendment , and from two hundred and fifty to tbxee hundred for the original motion . Three cheers for O'Connor , three for the Welsh martyrs , and three for the Charter and no surrender , closed the triumph of the good men and true . Last Saturday ' s Star exhibited the awful distress prevalent ill Mansfield—need i add tbat circumstances are doing what argument failed iotfivct—and the " good old cause ' moves on . The services of Mr . Dsan Taylor , as county lecturer , have been productive of immense good . Mr . Tayler is warmly respected by th «; Nottinghamshire Chartists , and his highly successful labours will entitle him ts their eateern .
Saturday , I returned to Sheffield . One word Vith Mr . O'Connor . The Nottingham Chartists are most anxious to know when he will visit their good town . As one of the first places to rally round the banner iff Radicalism at his call , five years ago—they think they should not , and I am sure they will not , be forgotten . George Julian Harney . ¦

copies weekly , for discretional and gratuitous "distribution . ; Supposing , Mr . Editor , the National Charter Asso ciation to extend at this time over 250 towns , if each locality would agree to take a dczen copies for general use , this would call for 3 , 000 copies ; and if the promiscuous sale in the same towns were only eight copies in addition , tills would make the demand to be 5 . 000 , that is , 850 multiplied by 20 , which I trust would prove a remunerating number ; but if otherwise , I would recommend that at the end of the present volume ox section , it were raised to a penny , which I am assured no real Chartist would object to .

TO XHB EDITOR OF THB NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Mr . Coyne called upon me and complained of having his name included amongst the names of the party who made the brual attack upon Mr . Lowery , in Henry-street , in August , 1839 , and for which they received the marked approbation of the Lord Lieutenant and the . thank * of Mr . O'ConneU . He said that he waa in the room when the attack was made upon Mr . Lowery , but tbat he did his utmost to prevent it , and to obtain a hearing for Mr . Lowery , by whispering to
those over whom he thought he had influence , not to beat Mr . Lowery , but to hear him . The reason way he did not . speak out was , that he did not wish his name to appeat before the public at the time . He says he is a Chartist in principle , and is therefore desirous to relieve himself from the charge which appeared in the Northern Star of the 13 th instant Patrick O'Higqins .

SIR . —It rejoices my soul to sao another number of the Chartist Circular , which , from its tardy arrival this last week at this sink or ce'S-pccl of Toryism , I had begun to fear had gone to tbat bourn from which only the Immediate energy of our Chartist brethren can rescue it
I do , however , solemnly trust that they will not suffer this real catastrophe to happen . I should regard the circumstance as a just and general misfortune—a deep and melancholy shade thrown over the otherwise bright path of political regeneration . Every working man in tha whole breadth of the land should cany the Chartist Circular in bis bosom , and read it to bia dear wife and children at his meals . It is printed and composed for his benefit , and should be worn next his heart . I have pondered much on the , to me , solemn notice
addressed "To the Chartists generally , " in No . 40 , warning thtm of the critical situation of the Circular , and do trust it will be responded to ina manner worthy of men united in tke sacred cause of freedom . I do fervently truss that the Chartist brethren of the United Kingdom will carry it triumphantly through its present unassured coutae , anil I have gnat satisfaction in stating tbat , on my reading the appeal referred to above , and the remarks connected with it , and the letter of our Chartist brother which precedes it , to tho Committee cf the Chartists here , they readily and unanimously resolved to adopt his suggestion , to take a dozen

v THE CROWN AND ANCHOR ADDRESS TO O'BRIEN . We have reoeived . on this subject , a letter from Mr . Walking , which we think it right to publish , and which is the last we mean to publish on the matter . Mr . WatkinBsays : — ** TO THE EDITOR OF TUB NORTHERN STAR . " Sin , —My friends in London have pressed me , Tery much against niy own inelination , to notice several misrepresentations that have lately appeared in the Star . 1 am so accustomed to these things that they bare no effect upon me ; but my friends say that they may take effect against me ia quarters where the facts are not known . Well , then , in reference to the O'Brien address . I , as Secretary to his Committee , in
London , was appointed to draw up that &ddt&ss , which was adopted by the Committee , and became the address of the Committee . In my capacity of reporter to the Committee , I forwarded the address in an isolated form to the Star . How it came to be inserted in the report of the Crown and Anchor meeting , you , Mr . Editor , have already explained . It was not my business , bat tne business of the Reporter to the Star to report what took place at the Crown and Anchor ; in his absence , a friend did it for him it appeara I was appointed to read the address to Mr . O'Brien , and to
present it to him , when , on reading it , I got to the passage " There never was a press , See" Several individuals objected to it , upon which Mr . O'Brien rose to check me ; but as the general applause of the meeting overbore the individual objections , I proceeded to the end , windless of the interruption that bad taken place . The address wo * not put to the meeting , nor presented to Mr . O'Brien , therefore he could not , as Mr . Nagle Is made to say , tear it to pieces . The address was a verbatim copy of the one adopted by the Committee . »
•* To every word in the objected passage of tbat address , I stand . Time nor circumstance has not yet allowed any press to represent the interests ot working men in their fullest emient . I , et the emphasis be laid where it was meant to be , and no honest mind will object to the
passage . " A reflection has been cast on the O'Brien Committee for convening the Crown and Anchor meeting on the same evening that a benefit for Carrier was to take place . The Committee , as they were in duty bound to do , merely acted in accordance with O'Brien's instructions , who himself fixed that evening , unknowing of Carrier ' s bent fit ; and there was no time to apprize him of it . Both places were filled ; those , therefore , who complain most must be fond of complaining . "I am , Sir , Your « bsdient Servant , John Watkins . •? 20 , Upper Marsh , Lambeth . "
