      TO THE INHABITANTS OF WIOAN AND ITS VICINITY . Friends . —Believing that in the sight of the great creator , all men are equal , and that the human race constitutes but one great family , and that all men are brethren ; and , seeing that a large number the of youth of this town are growing up without education , and that many adults among us are unable to read or write , and consequently cannot benefit by tbe many cheap publications and other sources of information with which our country abounds , we appeal to the benevolent and well-wishing of their less favoured brethren and sistera to assist us in establishing a mutual and self-improvement society , by contributions in books for a circulating library ; also personal exertion to rescue the victims of poverty from ignorance and vice , thereby enabling them to unlock

      the stores of knowledge and wisdom , and thus overcome evil with good . Although our institution is called' The Wigan Land and Chartist Mutual Improvement Society , ' none are debarred from its benefits on religious or political grounds , our objects being to enable all to read , think , and judge for themselves , leaving , therefore , religious instruction to its legitimate teachers , the Christian ministry , and confining ourselves to secular education . We hope to enlist the sympathy and obtain the assistance of all parties in promoting the interest of our society . Rule 1 . That each member pay an entrance fee of threepence , and a weekly subscriptioa of one penny , except it is proved to the committee that want of work , or other causes , renders them enable to pay , wben they shall be admitted free , until tbey are enabled , by better circumstances , to pay the regular subscriptions .

      Tivebwn—A meeting of the Chartist Association was held on Friday evening , for the purpose of entering into arrangements to secure the election of Mr W . Rowcliffe , as a member of the town council , in the p lace of Mr Thos . Payne . The chair was taken at eight o ' clock , when it was proposed and seconded , that Mr W . Rowcliffe was a fit and proper person to be one of the town council . It was urged by the speaker ? , that eveiy individual then present , should exert himself to secure the return ef that gentleman . It was proposed tbat the eandidateshosld pledge himself to appear before the burgesses at least once in every year , to give an account of « hafc had been done by the council—what he had wished the councillors to do—and"what they would trot do . llbis proposition

      T » as considered necessary , for * bis reason , not one of 'the councillors thot get « lected to that office can think of appearing before the burgesses . It is high time to destroy that confidence which the do-nothing , hypocritical , tear-shedding Whigs have hitherto contrived toeeonre to themselves . Ou Monday a meeting of the burgesses of the wand was called at tbe Worth Arms Inn , for the purpose of nominating a fit and proper person as a candidate for the office of town councillor . Proposad by Mr Snow—* That Mr John Hill should take the chair , ' which was unanimously agreed to . The Chairman , on taking the chair , oommentedon the extraordinary vacancy that had occurred .

      renresent the burgesses of the # ard in tbe town council . Seconded % Mr T . Tongue . Mr'H . Land proposed Mr W . Roweh'ffe . Seconded by Mr T . Rudd . Mr Knight then spoke a few words in favour of Mr Wotton . The Chairman then called on Mr W . Rowcliffe , ! when that gentleman very ably stated his principles , which were embodied in ' The Charter and no -Surrender . ' He wound np his address by giving the Whigs and Tories a good lashing . The Chairman then called for a show of hands for Mr Wotten , when very few were held -up . A show of hands was next dcmandedibr the Chartist patriot , Mr W . Rowoliffe . and nearly the whole meeting signified tbeir approval , by holding up their hands . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting separated .

William Cloughan , agent in Scotland , to the National Trades' Union , addressed a publio meeting of . the trades of this place in the ball ot the Mechanics' Institution on the evening of Friday last , on the principles , objects , and regulations of , the union . The hall , which holds seven hundred persons , was crowded . The meeting consisted . mostly ofthipwrights . Mr Cloughan commenced by exposing the weakness of isolated tradesand their

      inabi-, lity to maintain their independence , and to secure a fair remuneration for their labour , and in doing so , he reviewed the past history of trades' unions , and showed to a demonstration , that in order to secure protection to labour it was necessary that the whole trades be consolidated in one grand union , and hot ouly that there should he a union of number , be showed clearly ( hat there must be a union of sentinient ,, energy , and capital , lie exposed the folly of endeavouring to protect trade by paying men going about id ' e when a strike takes place ; while tbe money expended might be made to ; reproduce by employing them at their own trade on their own ac count , Mr . 0 . gave a clear exposition of lhe principles , objects , and rules of the National Trades '

      Union , and concluded oy appealing to those present to take . immediate steps , in order that the whole trades might be speedily organised . Tbe chairman asked if any person bad questions to ash , or remarks to make , when R . Burrell proposed the Mewing resolution : — 'That this meeting of tbe trades oi Greenock , from the innumerable detectssusfained by isolated trades in their attempts to resist oppression , and to . maintain a fair remuneration fer their labour , are deeply impressed with the conviction , that so long as they remain in an isolated capacity their efforts will be in raia , . Being fully of opinion that , in order to counteract the rapid growing power of capital , it is indispensably necessary that the wisdom , energy , and means of the whole trades of the country be united in one band of brotherhood ; and that , having heard the principles , objects , and regulations of the National Trades' Union explained

      byMr Cloughan , we are fully satisfied that its machinery is well calculated to work out the objects for which it has been established ; and further , that this meeting express it as their solemn conviction tha ' . it is the duty of the several trades to join it immediately . We , therefore , pledge ourselves individually to use our utmost exertions to accomplish that eb ject . ' The resolution was seconded by a shipwright , supported by Mr Peacock , and agreed to unanimously . After the passing of the resolution , Mi Lawrie , from Glasgow , delivered a . most eloquent and argumentative address on the rehtive duties andrigntsof labour and capital , wken the meeting broke up highly pleased with the night's proceedings . Mr C . also states that the case ot the reduction proposed to the coopers of Greenock is settled for the present . Mr Cloughan next proceeds tomeet the trades of Aberdeen .

      Wolverhampton . — Mr Williamson attended a meeting of the plate locksmiths on Tuesday , Septcmb ' er 28 th , and delivered a long and interesting address on the principles of the National Abso . ciation . On Wednesday , he attended a large meeting at Willenball , which gave great satisfaction . On Thursday , he visited the rim and mortar locksmiths , and cabinet locksmiths of Wolverhampton . < Jn Friday , the tinplate-workers , whom he addressed for more than two hours , after which a resolution was unanimously adopted : — ' That we , the tinplate-workers of Wolverhampton , have full confidence in the National Association and the Central Committee , and will do all in our power 4 o-support and promote their objects . ' .

      GLORIOUS MUUMPII CU RICH 5 OVER MIGHT . Mr Williamson , at the request of the tinplateworkers , waited spon an employer of the name of SFearncomb , to adjust a dispute existing between him and one of bis work people ; the grievance being a reduction of the wages of W . Vernon without giving him notice . Ou Mr W . presenting himself , and in the most respectful manner making known his business , he was most insultingly ordered off the premises , which set aside all hopes of reconciliation ; but being nothing daunted , he ( Mr W . ) at once wrote to the Central Committee to empower him to proceed against Mr F , fer tbe recovery ef the balance due , which was granted . Mr Fleetwood , an attorney , was engaged to conduct the case . The case came en

      for hearing on Friday , before Mr Say , the stipendiary magistrate . Dr Deliane and MrFerreday were also on the bench . After an flour ' s deliberation , the magistrates ordered the employer to pay ' . eighteen shillings to the plaintifi instead of sis shillings ; but not having tbe amount in his possession , a , policeman was ordered to accompany him home for the money , together with two shillings for the . policeman ' s trouble . Thus , the law was made a successful instrument of restitution , where it might otherwise have been effected by the proffered offer of mediation on the pari of the Association . The Central Committee , feding convinced that Vernon would be sacrificed , have ordered him to London , to be employed at his trade by the Asssciation . Can there be

      a more striking exemplification of tho superior advantages the National Association affords , than this case ;? 3 t is . a fact that Mr Fearncomb was nevor beaten before , bnt , at last , has found aconquer-ir . Mr Peel reported that , on Saturday and Monday last , he attended at Dudley , and found that the dispute complained of , was that a nail , called by tbem a Braeiliao , was required to be made of a diamond shape , which , requiring morelabour , was worth about ten per oent . more money ; and which was given brother respectable employers in Dudley . On Monday , he wrote a note to the employer , Mr Hodgetta , but was mortified to find that he had gone to Birmingham . He met tbe men at two o ' clock ( n the ' afternoon , and addressed them on the present position , and future prospects , of the

      Association .- . Birmisoham . —On Tuesday , October 3 rd , a public meeting of the trades was held in the public office , at which . Mr ( Peel was present , who entered at great length into'tbe present position of the Associationafter which , Mr Smith proposed , and Mr Pare seconded , . the . following resolution , which was carried unanimously , and signed by Mr Richard Uill , chairman , on behalf of the meeting : — 'That this meeting is fully satisfied by the ex . lanatioj ) given by Mr Peel , with the conduct ot the

      Central Committee , relative to the Holy town miners , and that , the false reports published in 'Lloyd ' s Paper / at the instigation of Mr Jacobs , late member of the Central Committee , is deserving of the abhorrence of every honest man ; and that this meeting do pass a vote of censure on Mr Jacobs , for bis unprincipled misrepresentations , and his attempt to injure the only means afforded the working man of protection for labour , namely—general union of all trades , under the banners efthe National Association .

On the next day he left for Ramsay , where he found great opposition bad been raised by the master class , parsens , magistrate ? , < fec . ; all was

      exeitement when they learned of his arrival , they seemed in as great a panic , aa though an invading army had taken their town ; all were running about to prevent him taking a room , and every annoyance was given ; however , he was not to be turned from his purpose , their petty , mean spleen , only stimulated him on to greater perseverance , and at length he obtained a large room at the Butchers' Arms inn , Parliament-street , immediately posted the bills , and obtained a large meeting . The Laxey meeting also was held , and meetings will be held at Peel and Foxdale .

      Leicester.—Mr Humphries Attended A Publi...

      Leicester . —Mr Humphries attended a public meeting in the Market Place , Leicester , a numerous body of the operatives of this town attended ; there could be no less lhan COO present . Mr Buckley was unanimousl y called to the chair , who remarked tbat the object of the meeting was to hear an explanation of the principles and constitution of the National Association . He bespoke a candid and impartial hearing , and trusted that what questions they had to ask they would ask at the close of the lecture , he sbouldsay no more . but caii on Mr Humphries : woo , on rising , said , " tbe present meeting was a disgrace to the present advanced age of intelligence and civili-. lation , inasmuch ' as it plainly bespoke tbe abject and wretched condition of the people . Instead ot the working classes having to meet together to concert measures for their own welfare and protection , they ought to be protected by the state , equally with the property of the capitalist , for the working-man ' s

      property we all knew was his labour , and as valuable to him as ( he rich man's wealth . " The speaker then ,. at considerable length , entered into some interesting and explanatory remarks on the principles of the Association , showed its beneficial tendency , and that when ita whole machinery was put into operation would effectually raise tho condition of the working-classes . At the close of the address , the following resolution was carried , ' That this meeting having heard the principles of the National Association explained by Mr Humphries , we the non-members , do pledge ourselves to become members of the Association , and exert our power to induce . others to follow the same example . ' The Chairman then entered into an animated address , in which he depicted the sufferings of the people , and showed they were oppressed and degraded , and that the only sure way to remedy these things was , for the work * ing classes to combine in one vast association for the mutual protection of each other ' s interests .

      Nothsoham . — -On Tuesday , October 5 th , Mr Humphries attended at Nottingham , where he met a portion of the trades . The meeting was not very numerouslylattended , in consequence of its just being the very height of the fair . Mr Godfrey was called to the chair , who , after a few remarks , introduced the speaker , who , on rising , said , ' In consequence of the deep depression tbat afflicted the trades in this country , the people were in a state of destitution , and so long as they were so , tbe masters would take every opportunity of reducing the price of their labour , and they , in their present position , were unable to resist these aggressions . Now the only way to obviate this , tvas for the operatives of this country to form themselves into an extensive , consolidated National Confederation , for the mutual protection of each other ' s welfare . ' The speaker

      pointed out the advantages of co-operation , and urged upon them the necessity of forming themselves into companies , for the purpose of creating funds , to be employed in purchasing goods manufactured by the association . That unless the members of the Union would determine among themselves to baeome consumers of suoli articles aa their associated funds created , they need not expect others to do so . If the trades would do this , the central committee would have increased means to carry out the objeets of tbe Association . At the close of the ad . dree . " , a number of questions were asked , which elicited considerable and important information ; a resolution expressing the satisfaction of the meeting with explanations given by Mr Humphries , and a vote of thanks to the chairman and speakers were carried , and the meeting dissolved , highly satisfied with the proceedings of the evening .

      TRADES' MOVEMENTS . THE MINERS . 10 TBI BMTOS OP TAB NOUTHMlf flTJB . Sir , —Seeing that the dispute batween the miners and their employers is not likely to come to a settlement for some time yet , as both parties seem equally obstinate , and as the press ( at least that portion of it which has taken any notice of the matter , ) seems disposed to threw tbe whole blame on the working men , and as I believe that the press , as well as the public , have been much deceived by the report of the government commissioner , I beg the favour of your allowing me to notice an extract or two from that report , which has appeared in several of our local papers .

      We are told that this commissioner has been appointed to inquire into the stata of the mining district ; , yet strange to say , we cannot hear of a single instance wherein he has called upon or consulted any of the working population . The whole of his information , such as it is , has been obtained from the master , and the following , I think , will show that he is much more inclined to plead the cause of tho rich oppressor than to report tho truth . In speaking of tho miners' union , ho says , ' The extra charge thrown upon capital b y the miners' combination is estimated at the large proportion of one-third , ia proof of which , he gives the evidence of Mr Murray , of tho Monkland Iron and Steel Works , who states as follows : —

      ' From the time I first knew colliers they have been always in the habit of restraining themselves In their labour . My conviction Is , that for the last ten years the physical potrers of all between twenty and thirty years et age hare not been exerted to more than two-thirds of their fair capabilities . In oonsequenco of this rest , ietion of labour , we are obliged to koep one-third more men in our employ , and to build one-third mere houses , to sink one-third more pits , with engine , railways , horses , engine-men , and drivers , and all the other incidental expeases belonging te this addition to our fixed costs . All this forms in the manufacture of iron a considerable additioa to the cost of production . ' IIo says , they cmploy about three thousand hands at their works , and he j

      bdiibves t > m- iwo . ihousanu could perlectly well no a the work for which tb » y , . have . now to pay three thou , sand , if they would only exert ' their physical powers to what be U pleased to tsrm their fair capabilities . . Now thero can bo no doubt but that the sum required to pay those thousand extra hands would be a considerable saving to Mesirj Murray and Cei It cannot be wondered at , th « n , tbat they feel so anxiom to got the miners to abandon their restrlcrian of labour ,, and hav » nothing more to do with union , seeing that it has been productive of ro much evil to the community at large , as tho commissioner has it . He again states , ' that the country is almost entirely iu tho dark as to one of its most important interests . It could not fail in this as in other and that tha

      important aattera of trade Mmmereo ; power of at once appealing to facts and figures , would dii . pel many an illusion , and prevent incalculable loss , an Hnconvenience . Could the whole community be made sensible of the enormous tax , which they at this moment arc compelled to pay in tbe shape of an enhanced price upon coal and iron , arising from tho restrictions of la . hour imposed upon themselves by the coal and iron , stcno miners in their combinations to reduce tnequan . ttty , and force np the price ; they wonld perceivo some , thing of the national cost of ignorance , and of the national disadvantage arising from so large a body of people being ejposed by tho limited state oftheir intelli . gencc , to be misled as to their real interests . ' ,

      Now , sir , I belisve with the commissioner , that an adpeal to accurate / mls and figures would dispel many an illusion , and I am quite orrt ' ain that the miners would not f )* 1 the least disposed to shrink from a full investigation of everything bearing upon , or at all connected with the subject , and I hesitate not to say , that the result of such investigation wonld shawto the community , that the enormous sum which they bare to pay in the shape of an enhanced price upon coal and iron goes into the coffers of the master instead ef being paid in wages to the working-men . Th < s I will undertake to prove from the Commissioners' own report . In the evidence of Mr Barker , of Chilling ton Iron works , Staffordshire , we find the following statements tv- 'The staple trade of Wolverhampton is suffering in a great degree from the unduly high prico of coal and iron , forced upon ns by this restriction ef labour . Among the coal and iron-stone miners , coals are now 12 ? . a ton , which a few years ago were only 6 s . 8 d . Bar iron is now £ 10 . a ton ; in 1842

      it was only £ & . 5 j . 1 ' Here ii an . advance of 8 s . 6 d , on tho ton of eoals , and let as see who sire the parties that have profitted ' most by it « I worked fora cosiderabte time in the neighbourhood of Wolverhampton . I left there in 1837 . At that time ths colliers were paid 4 sj a day , and for that sum thfy produced about 2 j tons of coals , they ara now , according to Mr Barker ' s account , receiving 4 s . 4 | d , per day , and suppose we allow the reduction of one-fifth < f their former day's work , wa find the collier ha ' sgtt lis . advance on the day ' s work of the master , out of which he gives him 4 | d . Now , these ar « facts and figures , and that is what the com * missioner so anxiously calls for . Verily , Mr Commissioner , it is high time that a thorough . investigation bo made , as with you , 1 believe thatsach would lead to the ' establishment of a more just and htaltty relation between labour and capital ! ' I fear , Mr Editor , that I have encroached too muth oa your space , yet I couW say much more , but for the present lnustconclude , lam , Sir , yours respectfully ,

      Dairy . Doncam Robebtsos . Tub Sinisn k ? Mosslkt . —The jtrike continues in Mpsley with unabated vigour . The men appear as determined as ever to resist the proposed reduction , though a number of then are literally starving . The originators of this reduction ara Messrs Giles and Mark Andrew , » nd Messrs Jerry and Trank Andrew , They are the same Andrews who ruined the woollen business in this district ; and they have freely lavished on them , the execrations and curies of the woollen operatives ; and by their conduct since they entered the cotton business they seem as determined to ruin that trade . They are always tbe first at proposing redactions ; and whenever they are compelled to give advance , which rarely occurs , they give , it with one hand , and invariably tako it back

      with the other , so that the spinners in rt & Uty never re . ceive it . They have built their spinners houses to live lo , and a house and a couple of mules are always * let ' together , . Since the strike commenced Messrs Giles and Mark Andrew have been to three of thtir spinners and demanded their rents ; tho spinners paid the rent , to the uo small discomfiture of the ' duos . ' Thfy ( the Andrews , ) determine ;! not to be foiled , hare since been to the said tenants , and given tbem motice to quit their houses in fourteen days , with sundry significant hints , tbat they , tbe'tenants , will not be wanted at the mill when tbe strike terminates . Such are seme of tbe schemes tried by these worthies to force the men into submission . We are well aware that some of the men

      must be victimised by these dastardly money-hunters , but we hope and trust that tfae spinners , as a body , will hold together , and cause the arrows of their vengeance , to fall powerless at the intended victims feet . These Andrews were the leaders in the 52 combination strike , but they shall not be the cause of as much misery and starvation again without the world knowing to whom the blame rightly belongs . Wo are sorry that some of the most respectable firms in theneighbonrhood , should have allowed themselves to be persuaded to offer a reduction at the same time . Had it not been so the operatives would have made these Andrews quake mi tremble beneath their united strength . Tbe infection we understand , has already extended to Asbton-undera Lyne , and no one can t ell where , nor how , it will end .

      Tns Sibikb at Dasweh . — A number of electors , shopkeepers , and householders of Darwen , have put forth tha following statement;— 'Having witnessed tha proceedings which have taken place since the cemmencement of ; the strike of the hands ef Messrs Walsh and Brothers , we hereby attest publicly our belief , that tbat strike had its origin in no frivolous pretence of the weavers , but was occasioned solely by grievances of such a nature as to justify that legal resistance which hatk hitherto been offered , and that the ' turn-outs' hava throughout conducted themselves in a peaceable and be * coming manner . We are alto of opinion , that the die . turbance which took place on Monday evening , Sep . 27 th , was occasioned by the improper interference of the police , in attempting an unjustifiable arrest of several o £ the peaceable inhabitants ; that nothing had transpired previous to these arrests which would , in any way , justify the police in taking such a step , and tbat , conae . quently the blame for what followed , namely , the break . of some windows and the womnds which some of the police received in the affray , is attributable to the police alone .

      Mr William Tnou, The Post.— A Lecture Wa...

      Mr William Tnou , the Post . — A lecture waa to have been delivered last night for the benefit of this excellent poet , at the National Hail , 242 , High Holbjrn , but owing to the scantiness of the attendance , it did not take place . It is much to be regretted that more publicity was not given to the matter , as we understand the family of this deserving man are reduced te great privations , and there can be no doubt tbat , if the fact of the leeture to be given were more generally known , a very full attendance would have been the result . The lecture announced to be delivered was on the ' Life and Genius

      of Robert Burns , ' by Mr Thomas Cooper , the author of the Purgatory of Suicides , whole , we understand ^ to give another on Wednesday next , at the Literary Institution , John-street , Fitzroy square , for thesame benevolent purpose . on the 'Rhymes and Recollections of Wil ! i » -n Thorn , ' which we sincerely hope will be more fortunate in its results . —Morning Mvertim Thursday . [ Although the intended lecture was to have been delivered by Mr Thomas Cooper , no friend to theNoBiHEK » SiAB , still , injustice to Mr Thorn , it wonld have been well had a previous announce * ment been sent to this journal . For Mr Them ' s " sake , we trust that Mr Cooper ' s lecture on Wednesday next , will be numerously attended . —Ed . N , S . j A Great Calamity occubbbo at Rbdcar on

      Saturday , involving the almost total destruction of the newly . erected promenade room , and also the goods office , at the railway terminus . Thelgoods office , at a cost of not less than £ 2 , 000 , was rapidly approachbg empktien , when it was visited by a fire , which it ia feared , will reader its being taken entirely down a matter of necessity . The workmen employed upon the building left it , as usual , at twelve o ' clock to go to their dinners , and within a quarter ef an hour tha alarm was given . It is an extraordinary fact that in Hedcar no fare-engme is kepti The consequence waa that in less than an hour the interior of the building was nearlall

      y destroyed , the roof having fallen in , and there being nothing but the walls left standing so that an engine , which was sent for from Stockton , armed only in time to play upon the burning raf ters , thus preventing the fire from extending to the station . Ihe origin of the fire isamatter of speculation , it seems , however , that some of the work-T ? u W ? r 8 usIng an ° fire' £ l'ato UP 0 " tue balcony oi the large room , and it is-generally supppped that a spark or cinder had fallen . One poor mnn , whiles assisting in the enicavour to extinguish : i c fire , fell through a window from the top of Ins premises into the station , and brofto Sis . ' irn > , and was other-, wise seriously injured .
