Brothers ahd SrsTEES in Social aud Poli-TrCALBORDAQB , —We now tddrus you for tbe purpose of easing your attention once more to the condition of our brave-hearted and dungeon-bound brethren . After the many noble and eloquent appeals that have been already made on behalf of the suffering martyrs , we can add but little . But we conceive , while there is one Chartist suffering in our cause , and one child an orphan , we should be unworthy tbe sacred name of Chartists , did w » neglect to bring forward again and again the mffering * of our brethren . We have now to lay before your notice a plan sug . gested by tbe men ef Leeds , which , if taken up in a proper spirit , will materially strengthen the fund devoted to tbe use of tbe sufferers .

      That plan Is the publication of a Chartist Sheet Almanack , which , as a vehicle for the dissemination of our principles , will be found a most powerful auxiliary . The -profit * of wkich will be exclusively applied to the families of our imprisoned " nobles of nature . " We : rely for support in this philanthropic object on the bard-banded children of industry , and we confidently trust that the bees , from Johnny Groat ' s to Land ' s End , win have one of our Chartists' hives as a fireside companion . Men of Scotland , ever foremost in the ranks of those brare hearts -that bare resisted the tyrannical

      wwaftchtnenw of tke despot , and buried your indig nant defiance at the mitred prelate , we call upon you to assist us in this most holy task , and let us dash from us the stain of having neglected to cheer those homes rendered desolate by the unjust incarceration of their natural protectors . Let us shew to the pampered aristocrat that we are rally conscious of the virtue and worth of those men that have thui voluntarily dared to brave the persecution * of the oppressor , and the solitude of the dungeon , rather than submit to the continuation of a system that has deluged the world with the blood and the tears of her children .

      In conclusion , we sincerely hope that every lover of freedom , truth , justice , and humanity , will come forward oathiB occasion and , lend bis aid in securing the accomplishment of thia most laudable object ( Signed , ) Joseph Jones , Chairman .

      THE PROVISIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL TO THE CHAB . T 1 ST 8 OP GfcBAT BB . 1 I . 11 N AMD IB . ELAND , Fellow-Coumtrtmbn , —We doubt not but by this time you feel anxious to bear from us what is the state of the great political struggle in which you are all so ardently engaged . Several misunderstandings have arisen in consequence of certain parties having , through mistake , mixed us up with committees , with which we hare nothing to do ; but all is now fair , and we have to congratulate you on the prospect which is before you ; the organization is going on is a manner that exceeds our most sanguine expectations . There is scarcely & place but has nobly responded to our call— " Be up aad doing , " and we take this opportunity of stating , that

      those places which hare not yet been supplied with cards abail be attended to as early as possible ; the orders are very pressing ; but would have been met much better had . the different sob-seeretaries attended to the Star of the 19 th of September , and sent in their councils for confirmation ; there are already forty of the principal towns of England in union . It is much to be regretted that we do not hear from patriotic Birmingham ; but , no doubt , we shall shortly hear from that and other places . The news from London is of the most cheering description . The sub-secretaries will oblige by sending In the names of their members in alphabetical order , their places of abode , or residence , their different occupations , as also the nomber of their eaxd as early as possible . This is a general

      order—having no reference to enrolments already sent is , meet of which are imperfect It is desirable , that the full remittances for cards received be forwarded immediately , the profits upon which are the only means the Executive have to carry on their business with . Note—The first quarter of the Natlenal Charter Association will end on the 31 st of December , 1840 . As there are in most towns several branches , it is recommended that Town Councils be immediately formed upon the representative principle , so regulated that there be no predominant party ; sad it is expected that those men who lay claim to the rights of justice , will not endeavour to create an undne influence , bat act in a brotherly feeling of conciliation . Yon * purtuit is liberty and equality-, grant it to youi fellows .

      DUTIES OF THE COUNTY COCKCXLS . By referring to the 20 th clause of tbe plan agreed to by the Delegates at Manchester , on the 20 th ot July , it will be ascertained when tke nominations are to take place . It will be the duty of the County Council to assemble at convenient times , which Council must consist of representatives from different districts Kimi ^ r to the old Delegate Meetings , with this exception , their election and confirmation , will stand good for twelve months , but mark this proviso , all offices will cease with the existence of the Provisional Executive Council , when fresh elections and confirmations will take place according to the plan , to ascertain the state of the country , the progress of the cause , the means of getting np and dissemiaating cheap publications , watching over tbe conduct of the Missionaries , and reporting the same to the Executive Council .

      Dear Friends , it is quite evident thatjf our present agitation is carried on with prudence , success is certain , One and all have come to the conclusion , that our social condition—degraded as it is , has originated in class legislation , that the present House of Commons , is not only k not a jepresentetion of tbe people , but

Murray was called , t ^ ine , chair , who briefly informed tbe meeting of attimportaatdut y ^ hey . asCnartwta . had to perform ; it was to rallyrouud a man who had sacrificed his time , money , health , and liberty , in the people ' s cause ; he meant Feargus O Connor , from the slander of a treacherous and envious faction in London . It was the practice of the supporters of a Government , when any of the leaders was attacked by an opposing party or

      faction , ta give tneir conndenca to their leaders . He . tke » fore , thought it their duty , and the duty of every Association fat this cause , to protect their leaders ; he should , therefore , call Mr . Wall to move the first resolution . . Mr . Wall said he was not aware , on coming into the meetingthat evening , he should be called upon tbproouie a resolution which he held in his haiid , It Was a Vote of confidence in Mr . O'Connor , and a strong one too ; but not at all too ' 8 tr « t » g for thepreaent occasion , for it was a line of policy generally adopted by an envious and jealous fiwtion , to raise a report of misappropriatiou of the monies passing through the bands of the object of their envy . This was the case with Mr . O'Connor , as regards the FroBt Defence FuhdiwBich the

      reaaereor tne wortnern star wui at once see ; to be false ; for not only has Mr . O'Connor done his duty to Mre . Frest , but he is a crejitor of ncafly j 5300 in the Chartist cause ; he ehoul « 5 HhercfOTe , beg leave to move the resolutton . Which was as follbwsi— "That having read with surprise and indignation , the base insinuations of certain envious and- cowardly calumniators' of London , detrimental to the character of FeargnsO'ConHoraB a patriot , who ' hail sacrificed Ms time , property , health , and liberty in the cause of our political freedom , we deem it our just duty as members of the borough of Marylebone division of tbe National Charter Association of Great Britain ,

      in public meeting assembled , to place our utmost and implicit confidence in F . O'Connor , Era ., foe his past arid present conduct in the . p « ople '« cause , fw which he is at present ujvjtb deprived of his liberty ; and we are of opinion , that any calumny intended to be heaped upon him , comes from the enemies of the people ' s cause and people ' s rights . " Mr . Rennie , sen . seconded tke resolution , which was put and ' carried unanimously . Mr . Humphries moved , and Mr .

      rWATWIHKftnMII . T .-rOn Saturday eveninit laet , the members of the Political Association , with a nomber of the friends of liberty , partook of an excellent dinner , at the house of Mr . Robert Beaum « nt ; after which Mr . Leech , of Manehester , deUverad an eloquent , and interesting lecture on the principles of . the Charter ; and a number of toasts and sentiments having been disposed of , a vote of thanks was giv « n to the lecturer , three eheer&to Feargus O'Connor , the Northern Star , the Charter . Frost , Williams , and Jones , with the rest of the imprisoned Chartists . At the conclusion of the meeting , a vote of thanks was given to the Chafe

      man . The meeting broke up about ten o ' clock-, and all those who composed it w « e highly gratified with the proceedings of the evening . Much praise is due to . Mr . Beaumont , for his eflicient management as host , and to whom we are justly indebted , he allowing aa the use of his commodious house ( not an alehouse ) to hold our meetings , thereby preventing inebriation . This Association has been established three months , and is connected with the National Chartist Association , and numbers from seventy to eighty members , who are very zealous in inculcating the principles ot the Charter , mental improvement , a&d sobriety . ' .

      CON 0 LBTOM . —The frienda here are actively employed in organising themselves according' to the rales of the Chartist Association . Although Consleton is but a small town , there being only about 12 , 000 of a population , etill We should be able to form a strong branch here ; were it not for the' persecuting spirit that is shown b y the whole of our employers , the priesthood , and the authorities of the town . Yet , in spit © of these unfavourable circuntstances , we are determined to uphold our cause in tbe best manner we are able , and by agitating the publio mind , whenever an opportunity offers itself . We intend very shortly to get up an oat-door meeting ; » nd we have also written to Dr . M ^ DbnaU to pay us * visit , which he has kindly promised to do

      when h « comes into this part of the country , perhaps that gentleman will see this account in the Northern Starf and it will remind him of his kind promise . We are upon very good and friendly terms here with the Socialists , as a many of our members are admirers of Socialism , though -they are convinced that Socialism can never be carried out until the Charter is obtained . And some of the Socialists * in like manner are members of our branch , and lend us all the assistance in their power to obtain the Charter ,, feeling convinced it will accelerate their cause and the cause of freedom throughout the world . A very novel scene was exhibited her * on Thursday , the 15 th instant , Which I shall call "Corruption met in the face ! " in consequence of the town

      being well placarded , annonnoing that the Lord Bishop of Chester would consecrate the New Church of Buglawton , a snail village adjacent to : Congleton , and that the clergy , in canonicals , would walk in procesBion with the bishops and the gentry of the town and country round , and inviting the inhabitants to join in the procession . Some of our members , considering this would be « good opportunity to open the eyes of the people a little , proposed xthat we should form a procession of the working elasseSi which was agreed to , and a committee of jate persons were appointed to make the necessary arrangements . We got three banners with the following moitos upon them : —The first a large black banner carried by two men .

      Motto— Look . here , yoiv working classes ,, and weep . The total amount of money to support the oh iirch is . £ 9 , 459 , 565 per year . " Second banner—Motto " Cursed is'he that oppresseth the poor . " Third banner—Motto , " He that will not work , neither shall he eat , " &o . Our processioa to walk , during the dinner hour . . The authorities of the town soon gained information of our intentions , and were very much alarmed , and sent the head policeman to oue room earl y in the morning to intimidate us . He threatened us at our peril to carry the large banner , and he stated that it would be broken and torn to pieces , and those that carried it taken into custody . He was then sent to several of the factories , aiwitAe masters sent for all . that were known to be Chartiats-, or Socialists , and they wore told that all would be discharged who walked in procession that day . the

      town clerk was then sent , along with the police , to our room , and he darodus tocatry the large banner at our peril . We told him we should certainly , do so , and should walk peaceably through the town ; and that if he , or the police , or any other party , broke the peace , they must take the , consequencesthat six persons would be appointed to take notice who broke the peace , or interfered with our procession . He then went away , finding we were resolute , and very uncharitably told us we might go to hell our own way and be damned to us . We discovered that the clergy were at the bottom ¦ of this intimidation . They were sadly alarmed lest the people should see the 9 , 459 ^ 65 pounds per year . A deputation then waited upon the Mayor to know if he had sent the police , to which he said he had . He received the deputation very kindly , and he begged and prayed , that the working classes would not walk in procession , for , oh ! said he , it will hurt the feelinss

      of the gentlemen very much indeed , for some of them haTe given five , and some ten pounds to the , poor , and I am sure they will not give any more . The deputation told him the people did hot want to live upon charity , but by their labour , and that it seemed these gentlemen were afraid of the , truth eomiBg out ; and that as to the Biahop and clergy they could not be offended at Scripture motto ? , Bnrely . Oh 1 eaid he , it . will do no . good , but a great deal of harm . Our banners were waving ; through ihe windows of the Chartist . room an hour before the time of meeting , and they attracted a large concourse of people . At one o ' clock , the procession began to move , and proceeded through the Marketplace , up Lawton-street , through Moor-street up to Buglawton , peaceably , but silently , until they met the Bishop and his party coming back . There were thousands looking out to seethe police seize the banners . The Mayor led the Bishop ' s party up , aad when the processions met the Mayor

      THE MODEL PRISON , OR NEW WHIG ¦ . .- .,. , . ... . B ^ sxitp . .... . ... ..,.,:. V- ;• As if the system of taprlsonwent lately sdeptedln this happy , enlightened , and . above all , free country , were not sufficiently cruel , our Liberal Whig Government have recently obtained a grant for the erection pf a model , or separate system prison * that is to say , for the erection of a prison as a pattern for all other prisons—ln-whleh prison , according to its eoneoctor ' a own aooount , the unfortunate inmates will be subject to constant solitary confinement , and will not be allowed to see or be seen , to speak or to be spoken to , during the whole period of their incarceration , however l ong that period may be . Think of this , Hberty-lovlng people of England—abhorren of every thing like torture—re

      flectthat -yon are absolutely paying your money to establish a system of punishment that will concentrate " in itself all the horrors of the Preach BaatDe , with those of tbe SpanUh Inquisition . Poor innocents ! JOU know nothing at all about it Even in the metropolis where the prison is being built , there is not one In a thousand who ever heard of the accursed thing , and those who have heard of it , are ' artfully told , that it will be used for the benevolent purpose of the reclaim Ing of offenders , who will be treated with the greatest kindness and humanity . ' We fiave Intimated , that the prisoners wiU not 'be allowed to see any body . <» converse with any body . TMs must T » understood with theexoeptfonof their keepers . It will be their duty , of course ; jte . torment their vietims occasfonaur with

      theto p « esweer-an 4 setaetUnes , no ; doubt , with tbelr tonguss , » r some other more' efficacious inttrunvtnts . ' ¦¦ f SX&-keepers may ¦ at any moment see * the prisoners without tfcenselves being seen by ike prisoners ; so that the poor 'wretches ' will be llogerlng—not living—under the hetrkl xonaciouniess , that they Cannot eat , nor drink , nor sleep , nor perform any of the offices of nature without being liable to be gszed upon . The prisoners are to biyttasked when taken froaf tbitr cells on any occasion , and the chapel Is so constructed , that they will see the parson through a sort of tube , like a child peeping at a penny show . But whence came the idea of the inuk . No master ¦; .

      to be defended by a sort of tewer , with loop boles , to n > e upon the-people should they ever dire to follbw tbe example of ttie people of Paris , and expose to public execration the horrors of thir Modern' Baslae .

      The site of ground selected for the building- ' 'is situated on the ' eminence adjoining tbe rtfflal&road ^ Which leads from Pentonvillfto HoUowayj and Is adjacent to the : 'Caledonian Asylum , -tand -nearly - opposite - Gopenhagen House . It will consist ? of four » rlndpal erftctton * ot wjngB , which will stand . In angular directions to each other , and radiate toi a point in the centre . One of these wings is / so far completed as to be ready to be roofed ; in ; , the foundations of the others are aHhUd , and the external walls are nnished . This prison , when completed , will-accommodate 600 persons . The wings will be 180 feet long , 49 wide , and three stories high . Each of these stories will contain v 120 cells—thttt is , t > 3 on each aide of the wing , whioh is divided by a corridor sixteen ¦ feet wide , ranging from- one end of the

      building to the other . As these corridors will all meet in one point , a full view may be obtained of the whole extent , of the edifice by placing otteself In the centra The great feature in the system- about to be carried into effect , is that p £ absolute separation . The prisoners must at n « time , whether at prayers , or at exercise in tiie Open air , see each other , must not ctfhverse with each otbet ; in- fact , "must not possess the means of doing either one or the other . To effect this object , the convicts , when taken from their < $ Bs to the exercising yards , wUl be hooded or masked / TfVneu in the yards , the hoods will be removed ; and though upwards of one hundred persons maj-thus be taking exercise at one and the same time , and within a few yards of each ' other , they will be as effectually seDa

      rated , as regards seeing d * bearing , ajrth ' oagb : tlfey were many miles apart ; this is . accomplished by tie following means : —Circular plots of ground are sunrdunded by high walls . From the interior of ibiese out walls , twenty-seven other wails are erected , at about nine feet distance from each other ¦• in the flrat instance , these walls all radiate to a point in the centre of the circle , where they diminish from : nine feet to about three : feet from each other . We have thus , it will be ( Ken , twenty-Six exercLnng yards , Intoeaeb . of whicn . only one person ifl admitted at a time . In the centre is stationed a keeper , who , from his situation , has the ready means of constantly watching the twenty - six prisoners almost simultaneously ^ an * entirely unob served by them . A portion of these yards are covered in , in order to shelter the eenvlcta in wet weather : When the time allowed for exercise haa elaps © 4 , ttie hoods or masks will be again placed on the Awes of the

      prisoners , and they will be conducted back to their cells . The prison will be supplied with fine spring water from an artesian well , which has been already pierced to . the depth of 370 feet ; the shaft being m feet deep , and the bore 200 feet-fin all 370 feet The water rises in the shaft to the height of twelve feet It hae not been aocertained , However , whether this well will yield a sufficient quantity of water to supply the ' prison . The works are under the superintendence of Captain Jebb , of the Royal Engineers , wh <* furnished the ' design . Messrs . Crawford and Russell are the inspectors . As the strictest economy is observed , archi tectural beauty has not been much regarded . The Woods and Forests have no control over the building of the Model Prison , beyond passing the accounts , which ar e paid at the Trcaaury . i—fFrom Cleaie ' s Gazette 0 / Variety , in which . there is a wood-cut , representing the ground plair of ihe Bastile . ] ¦ ¦ , , ¦ . ¦ .. ¦ ¦ . - . ^ i ¦ > , : ¦ «••¦¦ ' • - ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
