TO THE OPESATIVE XASOHS IN THE UNIOJC .

Grusell and Peto en that account are deserving our sympathy and support ; we , therefore , humbly present you with the sum vf £ 10 , regretting that the sum is so small ; but not kno-vnng how boos a similar attack may be made on our own camp , we aw forced therefore to act with all doe caution , and & limited liberality , or tke amount would be larger . We hope that it will be Bumcieut to
convince you that we coincide with the deciiiTe steps to * hare taken , aad will at all times do our best to assist in opposing the tyranny and oppression of such men as Allen ; and more particularly when the men act as you have done—peaceably and judiciously ; and we have no doubt that with the co-operation of your brethren , you will ever stand formidable against your enemies , not only against tyrannical employers , bnt against taose dastardly and unprincipled masons , as they term taemse ^ res , that have attempted to do your work . Bat thanks to God , their base attempts hare been frustrated , and ever will be , so long as you stand flra to yourselves—no division ia your camp .

" That we are of opinion that after the full and fair rtatementa with respect to the masoas at present on K * n * fep , that they acted aa men , and are deserrhur the esteem and respect of the operatives of Bristol ; and oa the other hand the conduct of Mr . Allen is deserving the reprotition of every honert mtn . " Carried unanimonsly . Mr . Simeon proposed , and Mr .

" Carried unanimously .

Jones , " That with regtM to the present' strike of the masons in London , the conduct of a certain portion of the press in that city gives us no very great surprise , is -sre be ; ieT 6 that the nugoritf of ttue press in tills « matrv is bound to support the interests of tbe capitalists before that of tb . e working man , but from henceforth we are determlBed to withdraw onr support from those papers -srliich do not come boldly out for the rights and interest of the working classes , and we beg distinctly to be understood , that we consider the Dispatch , the London Times , and Homing Advertiser to have taken the part of Messrs . Grissell and Peto against the masons . " A vote of thanks were then proposed to Messrs .

THE QUEEN V . WHITE AWD o ' cONNOB . The Attorney-General moved for a rule to show cause wh y a criminal information should not bo filed against George White , of Bromsgrove , for writing a false and scandalous libel , reflecting upon the character of the Rev . C . A . Anstey , one of the Masters of Ilugby School , and against F . O'Connor , tho proprietor of the Northern Star , for publishing the libel in that paper . Tho libel was contained in a letter addressed to the Editor by George White , one of the defendants , aud dated Bromsgrove , 30 th Ootober , and which imputed to the gentleman on whose behalf the application was made , conduct of
a nature so atrocious , ar . d so utterl y ba * e , that if it were true it could not be characterised in language too strong . The writer of the letter , after stating that as a proof that in this country there was ono law for the rich and another for the poor , said he would relate several instances of abomiaa . liona committed by the parsons in the south of England , which clearly proved the lasoality of the richer classes . The letter then went on to state that a certain poor hawker had , Borne lime siuce , in consequence of his poverty , been obliged to send his wife and child home te her mother , at Rugby , and that she subsequently went into the workhouse , where she , unfortunately , attracted the attention of a certain Rev . Gentleman , who was
a married man , and one of thu head masters of Rugby School ; that the hawker , having subsequently become eoabled to maintain his wife , applied to hare her restored to him , but that tho Rev . Gentleman , haviug determined to make her the victim of his improper desires , prevented her joining her husband ; that the hawker then appplicd to the Guardians to discharge ) his wife and her child , and that on her discharge sho was inveigled by the parson into his house ; that on the hawker threatening him with an action if he detained his wife , the parson discharged her from his own house and toofe another for her close to his own ; and that he also induced the parish officers to raako & claim against the hawker for £ 12 l&s . lid .
for the maintenance of his wife , nnd that subsequently she had Lad a ohild by his Reverence ; that after this the parson had offered the hawker ur aey to live with his wife again , which he had refused to do , and that the parson had taken her before a magistrate to make her swear the child was her husband ' s , but that the magistrate had refused to administer the oath to her ; that in order to prevent the husband from taking proceeding , the parson had procured his imprisonment in Warwick gaol on one occasion for two months , oa another fur ttu-lve months ; that the hawker would cnier into an action against the parson , but he had no mean . "; and tho letter concluded by asking whether Mr . O'Connor would take up this case . wuich
was another iusuu , ce of the manner in which iiie laws were worked by the rich to mage the poor subservient to the ^ rauli cation of their beastly appetites . Now his affidavits weut to show that the Kcverend C . A . Anstey was the person alluded to in the hbel ; and the affidavit cf the Reverend Gentleman and his wile weiit to shuw that some years since they had taken a person numed Ann Fcaron , who had been married to an hit-h hawker , and who had left her husband to li ve with her mother , in consequence of his inability to support her , into their service as an occasional servant ; that she afterwards went to reside
with her mother , and that Mrs . AHstey having heard that her husband had returned , and was ill using her , to induce her to live with him , had gone , accompanied by Mr . Anstey , to the cottage of Ann Fearon ' s mother , and had found Fearonill using her ; that Mr . Anstey had remonstrated with her , aud recommended her to come aud live quietly at Rugby , which F <* uron said he could no > do , as ' no owed tho parish officers money ; that thereupon Mr . Anstey had offered to speak to the parish officers ou the subject , tu induce them to tako the money by instalments , which he had dt-ne , and had written to Fearon uu the subject .
Mr . Justice Wigiitman—He denies all the imputations I The Attorney-General—He does , my Lord . — The Learned Attorney-General then proceeded to contend that it . was a ciuty Mr . Anstey owed himsclr , the school , ana his country to come forward an ! oltar himself of those imputations , which had bean "ast upon him merely for a r / olitioal purpose .

Ihe League Again . —On Monday la&t , our Ph >; jpophical Hall was crowded to excess , to hear th-- f ; rea . t pin of the aati-Corn Law League ; indeed the very namo of Col . Thompson was sufficient of itself to attract great numbers , ho being well known as a pubu character . Ho had proved himself too honest for the factions , both Whig and Tory ; and it i- wry much to be regretted that such a man as the Colonel should ba fouad in company with a set of poiit'cal Whig . quacks , suppoiiing aud puffing their political nostruias ; but it " was no go ; " mdeed . the Colonel hiraseir was obliged to acknowledge that the cjusc of ail car national sriuvances , was the usurping of our political rights by tho most vilianous of all monopolies , the monopoly of legislation , and that all good and-rirtuous inon would &o for the removal of the cause . The Colonel found out it was
no c-asy matter io w . swer u \ 3 variety oi' plain and simple questions put to him by plain and simple n-en , whom he found were too much awake to the sophistry uad ihicFsc of ihosi .- who uovr claim the superior learning , aud the Colontl , in this respect , tried his be » i . in . v-ri-ius \ v : i \ s , but found it ' would not do ; a plain simple question without a positive answer , oaused h ; m to itel his situation , and he seemed to yield under it . A question was adced , would they sign tfio National Petition , if tho Chartists would sign ths ai > ti-Com Law 1 No , wis the reply . The meeticg concluded by giving a vote of thanks , aud three cccer * to the Colonel , siatingthat they were glad t * see him at Huo'derefieid , believing that ho had come wuh good inttutions .

OLDHAM .--On Sunday evening last , Mr . Henry Smethurst gave a most energetic and soul stirring lecture in the Chartist Room , Greavea-atToet , in which lie depicted tho extravagances of the Royal household ; contrasting it with the degradation , misery , and starvation of the labouring classes ; all of which evils the lecturer attributed to class legislation , and the only permanent remedy that could be applied for the removal of tbeee e » ils was the People ' s Charter being made the basi 9 of the Constitution . To acquire this great object , he urged bis hearers , both male and female * to join the National Charter Association * to lav aside all religions prejudices and examine for themselves , and they would find that religion and politics must go hand in hand . This was the doetrine of the Word of God . The lecture was listened to with great attention , and the crowded audience went away highly delighted .
MAWOHESTEB . —On Sunday evening , the Chartists who formerly worshipped at Tib-street on Sunday evenings , opened their New Room , whioh was attended very numerously , and Mr . Duffy delivered an excellent lecture . On the same evening Mr . Griffin lectured on the Corn Laws , the policy of the league , and the conduct of masters in making reductions , and gave great satisfaction . Mr . Cartledge , after speaking very highly of the lecturer , moved the following 'resolution , ' which was carried unanimously : — "That we , the Chartists of Brownstreet , having attended the meeting ? of Manchester and neighbourhood , where the reporter of the Star has been present , and haviug afterwards read the reports in the Star , declare , eo far as they have been
inserted , they have been correct ; and we throw back tho attempt of those who ara endeavouring to injure the Star , and impugn the veracity of the reporter . " ASBTON . — -Discussion between tbb Chab-TISTS jJb thk Corn Law Repjsalers .--The Com - mittee of the Charter Association of this town , and the Committee of the Anti Corn Law Association , have had it in contemplation , for the last six weeks , to make arrangements for a discussion between the Chartists and Corn Law repealers of Manchester , on the subject of the Corn Laws . Last Week the terms were agreed upon , and the town placarded , announcing two night ' s discussion , on Monday and Tuesday evenings . The Chartists sent an invitation to Mr . Bell , of Salford , and Mr . Griffin , to take tho
Chartist view of the question . , The other party invited Messrs . Watkius , Culvcrwell , Rawson , and Birtch , as their champions . On Monday evening , agreeably to the notice , tho hard hands , unshorn chins , and fustains , assembled iu large numbers in the Charkstown meeting-room , tyr . Smith was chairman for the Corn Law party , and Mr . Woodruff for the Chartists , arid Mr . Spencer umpire . Each Chairman hoped they would give every speaker a fair and impartial hearing , and that neither approbation nor disapprobation would be shown . After the reading of the placard , and Btating the terms , Mr . Culver well was called upon to open tbe question , for which he was allowed twenty minutes . The speaker then went through a regular culled ,
prepared , cut , and dried speech , containing the old absurdities , which have been exploded and refuted scores of times , . Mr . Bell occupied twenty minutes in reply , aud upset every position of his opponent . Mr . Rawson , another of the Anti-Corn Law party , went exactly in the samo strain as bis colleague . Mr . Griffiu gave way to Mr . Littler , and reserved himself till the second evening . Mr . L . supported the arguments brought forward by Bell manfully . Our readers will form some estimation how they went ou when we inform them that Belj and Littler followed them up , quoting their own authority , and beat them upon their own ground ,
until they were driven so close into a corner as to deny that M'Culloch , Porter , and M'Queen , were any authority , or any standard , to go by . Both Culverwell and Rawson , finding they were dead beat , would not acknowledge either of those three statistical writers , although they are quoted by all the lecturers and speakers vipon the subject . The subject was well sifted , and has done much good to tho movement for the Charter . A vote of thanks to the chairmen was moved by Mr . Bell , and seconded by one of the other party , and the meeting dispersed without any resolution , by giving three cheers for Feargus O'Connor .
Second Night s Discussion . —The discussion was resumed on Tuesday evening , before the sarae Chairman and umpire as on the previous evening . The discussion was carried on in excellent temper , and at the close a resolution , proposed and seconded by two working men , in'favour of the People ' s Charter being the first stop to b ? taken for the redress of all grievances , was unanimously carried .
BURTON-UPON-TRENT .-On Sunday last , the Chartists of Burton paid a visit to the poor man ' s church , in Redwood Forest , to hear a sermon from the Rev . Humphry Price . The text was taken from the thirteenth chapter of Proverbs , and the twenty-third verse ; tho words are— " Much food is in the tillage of the poor , but there is that is des -troyed for want of judgment . " The sermon gave general satisfaction . All declared that they never heard such a sermon before . The weather was very unfavourable ; but the Burton Chartists are determined to continue their visits to tne poor man ' s church , despite wind or weather ; and they hope that every poor man in Burton will join them iu supporting the only poor man ' s church , an < i fill the empty scats which are deserted by their enemies .
STOCKPORT . —On Friday evening last , Mr . Birtch , of Manchester , one of the anti-Cora Law lecturers , came to this town to lecture to the Youths ' anti-Corn Law Association . Although it is called a Youth ' s Association , the greater number arc men , some forty , others fifty , and even as high as sixty years of ago . ' The Chartists mustered and elected their own Chairman b y au overflowing majority , and rejected ths self-elected Mr . Coppock . Town Clerk . This was rather too galling to be stood quietly ; and to obviate it , he called for the police to take Carter into custody . Birtch proceeded with his written lecture amid the laughter of the assembly ; and at the conclusion , Coppock gave him a vote of thanks himself ; not daring to put it to the mcetiDg . In the meantime , Carter was confined in an anti-room , guarded by two policemen , until he shivered with cold ; and in order to make up for the insult , when they released him , Coppock offered him a shilling .
Leccure . —Mr . Clarke lectnred here on Sunday evening last . Much enthusiasm was exhibited . Several new membere were enrolled . HALIFAX . —Dki'Kat of thb "Plague . —The "Plague" men of Halifax have had Col . Thompson down for the purpose of " putting salt on the people ' s tail ; " but it was " no go . " Mr . West , tho West Riding lecturer , tackled the gallant Colonrf , and so pestered him with facts and figures that his " salt" becamo quite ineffective . After a sma : t discussion , the following resolution was proposed b y Mr . James Raweon , aad seconded by Mr , John Croashnd , ' Thai this meeting is of opinion that a Repeal of tho Cora Laws , accompanied by other just and necessary measure ^ is unattainable but by and
through a Radical Reforni in the House of Commons , and this meeting pledges itself not to assist in the agitation of anypoiiticalquestion , save that of theenfraiohisemeut of the whole people , and will never cease their efforts in thti cause of ii > ht until the People ' s ! Charter shall become the law of tho land . " The Chairman inquired if there was any amendment , but none appearing , he put the motion , when the forest of hands that appeared was incalculable ; and , in a meeting of between two and three thousand , six hands were held np against it ! The Chairman declared it carried , amidst tho most enthusiastic cheering . Cheers were then given for the Charter , for O'Connor aud the forthcoming demonstration , for West , for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and tho meeting separated .

FEARGTJS O'CONNOR AT BOLTON . On Wednesday , Mr . O'Connor visited this town , and bad , aooording to the opinion ef all who bad the pleasure of seeing and judging , one of the most numerous , orderly , ar . d enthusiastic meetings ever held inside any building in the town . # ^ Towards evening groups were seen coming from all the surrounding districts ; many , as far as ten or twelve miles . At five o ' elock they began to flock into the Hall , until about six hundred had taken their seate for tea . Whilst preparatioHS were being made , a quadrille band , whioh had been engaged for the occasion , enlivened the assembly by playing
some lively airs . The spacious Hall , built by the Teetotallers , was illuminated by four large chandeliers . The building ia calculated to hold about 3 , 000 people . About half-past five o ' clock , the time for commencing , Mr . O'Connor , accompanied by the good and true , entered the room . He was met and greeted in such a manner as to baffle description . In a short time he ascended the platform , and was again cheered . The company then partook to satisfaction of "the cup which cheers- but not inebriates . " This portion of the business being over .
Mr . O'Cohnob advanced to the front of tho platform and announced his intention to Bit till eight o ' clock to enrol members , and particularly invited the ladies . Many names were enrolled , the majority of whom were Mr . O'Connor ' s own countrymen and countrywomen—the number who took cards of membership amounts to one hundred . Mr . Wbenwick was then called to the ohair , and the doors having been thrown open to the publio , the spacious room was soon crowded to excess , hundreds being unable to obtain admission . Mr . Dixon moved the first resolution , as follows : — "That we welcome with unfeigned delight that Noble Patriot , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., once more amongst us , after his imprisonment in the dungeon of a tyrannical Government . "
The resolution was seconded by Mr . Hyslop , Draper , from Wigan , in a very humourous and sarcastic speech , whioh called forth the cheers of the audience . The resolution was carried amidst the most tremendous cheering , during which Mr . O'Connor rose , but it was some time before he could obtain silence to proceed . He spoke for two hours , in his usual eloquent and argumentative manner , and was listened to with marked attention . A large number of the middle class were present , who came forward and confessed that they had been misled ; and that he had completely dispelled their prejudices . Mr . Vickehs moved the next resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Galiaisby , and carried unanimously . It was as follows : —
That this meeting places the roost unbounded confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., as an agitator , and will continue tho same so long as he preserves his present career of agitation for the rights of labour and of man . " Mr . O'Connor again briefly addressed the assembly in acknowledgment , aud made a powerful appeal ia favour of Dr . M'Douall . Thanks were then proposed to the Chairman , to Mr . Barrow , and to the ladies , fur their efficient services , whioh were carried with enthusiastic cheering . Cheers were given for the Charter , and for Fro 3 t , Wil . iams , aud Jones ; aud before the meeting separated Mr . O'Connor enrolled more names in the association , and the petition 6 neets were numerously signed . The cauBe bas rapidly progressed in Bolton wichin the last few weeks .
