      Anti-Mhitia _Association . —All the late members who nave not received their quota in accordance vrith a resolution passed at the last meeting of the managers , previous to "disappearance of this notice , are requested to apply to Mr . E . Stallwood , 2 , Little Vale Place , Hammersmith Road , stating the amount paid , the time of payment , and to -whom . AU _soch applications will meet with immediate attention . ¦ R ichard Cooper . —In future write yonr reports only on one side of the paper . Me . Coopeb .. —( From , a Correspondent at Bradford . )—In answer to Mr . O'Connor ' s inquiry , Mr . Cooper has been sojourning in Bradford and vicinity the last few days . He has friends amongst the " _higher classes , " who may possibly pay his debts , in return for the supposed benefit they receive hy tools of the Mill lords denouncing

      the Land plan , and resorting to the most barefaced falsehoods to prevent the over-worked and starved labourers becoming members . To THE Chabtist _Bons . —Brethren : —In the last week ' s Northern Slar there was a notice calling upon me to attend a meeting ot Heywood , on the 20 th instant , "What to make of this I know not , inasmuch as it made its _appearance-on the _26 th of September ; therefore it conld not he this month , nor does it mention any month- I am the more perplexed abont it , owing to a number of tbe Heywood Chartists calling at mj house on Sunday _merniag , the 27 th , among whom was the Secretary and = several members of the Council , and they informed rae they knew _nothing about it , nor ¦ were they aware-ef any snch notice until they saw it inthe Star , on the 36 th . In that Hotice , I am called

      npon to make good certain charges which I have made against Mr . Wm . Be-11 , or retract the same . This maylead those who are not acquainted with the facts of -the case , to imagine that this is more of that underhand work which bas done our cause so much injury . Therefore , injustice to myself , I adopt this means of setting the _memhers Tight on this matter . It will he remembered , that the _Ssuth Lancashire Chartist Camp Meeting was held-some time ago , at Middleton , at that meeting certain allusions were made by the speakers as to the conduct of a number of men -who had been to a conference at Birmingham . The charges whiclfl-m * de were , that the parties who paid them for going to Birmingham , would not pay them for _advocating thepvinciples-ef the People ' s Charter , and tnat the Protectionists were the parties who paid for ihat

      Conference ; and further , that I was , I believed , the second man applied to in _Manchester to join that _rooremect . I said in the presence of Mr . Bell , and in reply-to a speech which he made in vindication of -bis conduct , and tbe conduct of those who attended that Conference , and not in his absence . He had the opportunity of refuting my remarks , if he had thought proper ; he ,-however , did not do so . Since then I have been called " pabKc liar , "' " denouncer , " ic , called npon toretract tbe statements er prove them , ic . The former I have no reason to do , for I stand by them still . The latter I am prepared to do as soon as the South Lancashire delegates shall have met and appointed the time and place . Whoever the parties are who sent that notice to the Star , they are perfestly nware that a _correspondence had

      taken place betwixt me and the Hey ivood Council , and that the whole thing rested in the hands of the above delegates , who will meet on Sunday the 11 th of October , and wherever they tay the meetieg betwixt me and Mr . Bill shall take . place , 1 will attend and make ' good _myavasy assertion . Friends , I have _considered this much necessary , in or . ler that you should know the fall extent of my erines . I am sorry to trouble the only paper which the working classes have to advocate their rights with _tnch paltry staff as that I have ta defend _myscdfajiaiEsL I am , ekar friends , yours respectfully .

      PAISLEY . Oil Monday evening , September 21 st , 1 S 46 , Mr . Christopher Doyle , one of the Directors of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , delivered a lecture in the Baptist Chapel , on the principles of the above named society . The spacious edifice was well filled by the sons of industry , and Town Councillor Campbell , a sterling friend to the cause of universal right , was unanimously called to the chair , amidst the hearty acclamation of the persons present . LTe opened the business of the meeting , by first reading the placard , and then stated that the object el * the Land Society were not , he believed , well understood by the workmen of Paisley . For his own part , he must state that he did not thoroughly comprehend

      them , but he firmly believed they were based upon justice , and that , if properly carried out , would be productive of much good ; otherwise , Mr , O'Connor , the People" friend , would not have propounded them However , the Lecturer , Mr . Doyle , was there to expound them , and he hoped they would giro him a patient and impartial bearing . Mr . Dotle upon rising , was received with hearty marks of applause , and when it had subsided , he commenced by calling the attention of his audience to the great importance of the subject ; and then proceeded to develope the present physical and social

      condition of the working classes , and proved to a demonstration , that the _ffretohedness and misery which they now endured , was mainly attributable to the monopoly of the Land—for in that monopoly , was absorbed nearly every other . The lecturer next proceeded to explain in the most lucid and forciable maniier , the principles and objects of the Society , and the means to carry them into practical effect , and made an earnest appeal to those who were in favour of social redemption , to come forward and enroll themselves as members . LTe concluded a highly instructive discourse , warmly cheered by his audience .

      Several questions were asked , to which Mr . Doyle answered , apparently _^ to the satisfaction of the questioners , and the meeting generally . Votes of thanks were given to the" chairman and lecturer , after which several copies of the rules were disposed of .

The lecturer's speech occupied an hour and a half in the delivery , and was listened to with earnest attention , and at the conclusion he received the hearty applause of his hearers . Mr . Doyle ' s address will be productive of much good in the Vale of Leven .

      On Saturday evening a Soiree was held in tbe house of Mr . James Melntyre , the zealous sub-secretary to the Land Society , at which a goodly number of Nature's Nobles partook ot ab excellent tea , and an abundance of choice _substantial in addition , prepared by the worthy hostess , Mrs . Melntyre , and certainly the liquids and solids were done ample justice to by the company-Mr . James Smith , of Glasgow , ( than whom tbere is not a more honest and indefatigable friend to the cause of human right ) was called upon to pre sido for the erening . As soon as the cloth was removed , the worthy chairman rose , and after thanking his democratic friends for the honour they had conferred upon him , stated , as it was usual and necessary at such meetings as tbe present , to propose a number ot Toasts suited to the occasion , he thought they were justified in keeping up to so laudable a custom . Ile would , therefore , without any further preface , give them

      ' The People , the only legitimate source of all power , " and called upon Mr . Melntyre to respond to it . Mr . McIsmtE made a succinct , but appropriate address , which was loudly cheered . The Chairman said it was arranged by the committee tbat several democratic and other songs should be sung in tbe course of the evening , and in Older that instruction and amusement should follow each other , he would call upon their respected guest , Mr . Doyle , to give them ** Base oppressors leave your slumbers , "—whicli was sung by that gentleman with great effect , and elicited much applause . " The O'Connorville Demonstration " song , wa 9 next sung by one of the friends , in first-rate style , which was loudly cheered . Then followed , " Woodman spare that Tree . "

      The next toast the Chairmin introduced , was the toast of the evening , viz ., " The Charter , may it soon become the Law of the Land . " Lie called upon Mr . Doyle to respond . Mr . D . 's speech occupied forty minutes , and was repeatedlyapplauded . Several songs were sung previous to the third toast , and amongst them , - "Spread the Charter , " by Mr C . Doyle , and the spirit with which it was given had a thrilling effect . The Chairman then gave , " The Charaist Co-operative Land Society , and may success crown the efforts ol its members . - " Mr . Dotle responded to this toast , ia a speech replete with sound reason and cogent argument . Many sentimental and _democratic songs followed the third toast , and Mr . D . obliged the _company with— " Raliy around him . "

      The Chairman then gave the last _toaetof the evening— " The Board of Directors , and may they enjoy long life , and continue to be the honest and able advocates of Universal Freedom . " Mr . Dotle briefly returned thanks , on behalf of his colleagues and himself . A vote of thanks waa then given by acclamation to the Chairman , who acknowledged the compliment paid to them ; after which the company departed , testifying their _unfeigned satifactioiia '; the _evcniflg ' s entertainment .

      That this meeting would therefore respectfully but earnestly call on the directors to take immediate steps to secure this desirable object , believing that it would give satisfaction to all those who have become members _, and would _slso be the means of causing very many more to come forward and join thc Society .

      Tub Land . —Mr . James Moore , one of the very small firm of tho malcontents in tho Bradford district , favours us with an exceedingly long dissertation upon the extreme impropriety of appending a Chartist school to tho first location , and grounds his objection to the Land plan upon the fact that 1000 daily are added to the population , and , therefore , there can be no hope of locating them . As to the school impropriety , we shall only observe that , there not being otic within three miles , as a matter of fair speculation , apart from the value of education being recognised as part and parcel of our principles , the undertaking was prudent . Perhaps he would perpetuate tho charge of Chartist ignorance . And , as to the daily increase of population , we ascribe to that fact

      the great necessity ot * establishing the rights of those yet unborn to tlieir inheritance , at least we shall not be chargeable with the sin of allowing tbeir claim to be lost by not keeping it alive . Wo also learn that a new mutch is being put to the old pile at Keighley , where one gentlemen abused Mr . O ' Connor for _sanctioningsolarge-amonopolyasfouracres * while another has abused him most mercilessly upon the score that two acres is worse than starvation , and he has undertaken to prove that there must be a loss ol £ 8 a year upon the best cultivation of two ' acres , that is , according to HIS PLAN ; of course then , there would be a loss of £ -1 on one acre , and of £ 1 on a quarter of an acre ' and of £ 16 on four

      acres ; so what , in the name of common sense , are we to do with such philosophers . Why , answer them thus . What constitutes the sole and only property of farmers who never handle spade or plough ? Answer , profit on labour . Whatherdoes well or badly cultivated land pay best ? Answer—well , of course . Cau any man living cultivate two acres of land to the highest state of perfection ? Answer—no , nor to one fourth part . Question—what do the growlers mean then ? Answer—they don't know themselves , and it is hard for us to know . If we werc to heed the folly of such men , we should naturally agree with Joseph iluuir , that the sooner England was covered with an _incrustation of lava , the better .

      Mr .

He severely denounced the landed aristocracy and the corruptions in Church and State ; he said " tlie party with whom ho had the honour to act , did not wish to oppose any party at present in existence , whether moral , political or social ; their desire was to unite all in a peaceful . Christian , and legal struggle . Previous to the holding of this _meetin- * , a committee had sat in an adjoining room , with W . _Ashurst , Esq ., common councilman , in the chair , at which they unanimously resolved to form a ' National Alliance , ' for the _purpose of effecting a thorough reform in the Commons House of

      Parliament . To carry out tbis , and raise a fund m its _suppert , was their object , and for which he invoked the aid of the friends of the Temperance , Anti-State Church , Universal Peace , and the working classes generally ; they had already secured tbe support of influential persons , including Joseph Sturge , Colonel Thompson , etc . Their proposed mode of operation was , to send out peaceful missionaries to every city , town , village , and hamlet in tho kingdom , armed with tracts _, « fcc , after the manner o . f the late Anti-Corn-Law League ; and If such a course _« as pursued for seven years , he would pledge Vis honour the greatest "boor" in the most ducal corner ofthe empire should have his mind illuminated with political and moral truth ! ..

      Northern Star Office, Satordat Morning. ...

      Northern Star Office , Satordat Morning . A serious disturbance took place in Paris , on Wednesday evening , in consequence ofa _riBe in the price of bread . The following particulars are given from a Paris paper by an eye-witness : —

      EMEUTE IN THE FAUBOURG ST . ANTOINE . The inhabitants of the Rue du Faubourg St . Anto _' me and adjacent streets , chiefly inhabited by cabinet-makers , white-smiths , & c ., assembled in considerable numbers at seven o ' clock on Wednesday _evening , and proceeded to the bakers' shops in tho vicinity , in order to lay in provisions of _^ bread , in consequence of the rise in price to commence on the following morning . The quantity left after the sale of the day was soon disposed of , and the crowd increasing became riotous , and broke the shop fronts and several of the gas lamps . This scene continued for some time , and about half-past nine the mob commenced raising a barricade across the Rue du Faubourg St . Antoine . with the stones of the Rue Lenoir , which

      they unpaved with incredible celerity . The Horse Municipal Guard-soon afterwards arrived , and rode among the crowds several times ; but they always opened their masses and gave them free passage , closing immediatel y behind them . A battalion of the 48 th foot , headed by its colonel , afterwards came to the spot . They were received with cries of " Vive la Ligne ! " and the tumult having lasted until near midnight , the populace began gradually to disperse , and the streets became comparatively quiet . The rioters did not , however , separate without making an appointment for rendezvous at the same quarter this ( Thursday )

      evening . The bakers having been prevented from baking in the nigbt , carts loaded with bread this morning arrived from all quarters , and the bread they contained was said in the street . Private advices from Paris dispatched at a late hour , on Thursday , state that the Faubourg St * Antoine was likely to be the scene of a violent riot that evening . The Constitutionnel of Thursday has the following : — " We have this moment received a letter from the frontier of Spain , announcing that eighty insurgents , amongst whom were several priests , had been taken and snot at Lerida . At _Sue-d'TJrgel several _priests were put an end to by strangulation .

      INDIA AND CHINA OVERLAND MAIL . Letters and despatches have been reeeived by Lieut . Waghorn's extraordinary express , via Trieste , from Bombay to the 27 th of August . The rainy season had not then terminated , and until the return of the fine weather nothing of an extraordinary nature was apprehended . The monsoon had been most favourable in all parts of India . The Sikh Government was in a tottering state _,, for the Queen-Mother and her paramour , the Wuzeer , Lall Singh , had no hold on the affections ofthe people . The opportunity of the withdrawal ofthe British army of occupation was awaited by the _Khalsees and other fanatics , in order to avenge their wrongs on the present heads of the Lahore Government .

      The British authorities were not idle m making preparations for the approaching convulsion in the Sikh territory . Regiments were forming at Ferozepore and Umballa , for the purpose of absorbing some of the best of the disbanded Sikh soldiers . An army was also to be ready on the Sutlej and Beas to protect the British frontiers , and in case of necessity to put down tbe Sikh revolution . Gholab Singh ig reported to be in a very unsatis » factory state , not only on account of the turbulient chiefs over whom he obtained the rule , by advancing large sums of money last March , but also from his own intrigues , which prevent him from conforming with the promises of the treaty . The Sikh province of Moultan is still at war with the Wuzeer Lall Singh , and the Mahommedan chief ot that fertile district has been victorious in some rencontres with the Sikh troops . Scinde is tranquil , and with the prospect of an abundant harvest .

      There was a rumour circulated of the speedy retirement from Scinde of Sir Charles Napier , whose health is described as seriously affected by the climate . It was further said that the new Governor of Bombay ( Sir Henry Pottinger , supposed , from his knowledge of Scinde , to have been selected ) , would be empowered to make _arrangements for the final settlement of Scinde as a British province . The next few months are pregnant with important events in relation to the western frontier of India .

      In Cabul , the focus of Affghan _, Persia and Russianintrigues , an attempt to enlist Dost Mahomed in another plot against the British has failed . His son Akbar is by nomeans _pleaded with the pacific policyof his father . Intrigues and counterplots were in full play at Cabul . An alarm prevailed at Aden in the beginning of August in consequence of a threatened attack on that fortress by some Arab Chiefs .

      hearing Doctor Bachhoffner deliver a most interestr ing and instructive Lecture on the subject of " The Electro-Needle Telegraph . " Aa application of science so extremely useful to all classes of society is undoubtedly well calculated to form a subject of illustration of this popular and well-regulated temple of science and art . The clear , simple , and unaffected style of this eloquent and learned gentleman , and the evident pains which he takes to render plain and intelligible tliat , whieh at first sight appears most intricate , without losing its importance in a scientific point of view , is sufficient to render him extremely popular as a teacher of philosophy .

Every arrival from Rome brings an account of some new measure for the benefit of the country . "We now learn tbat the Pope has appointed a Commission for the improvement of the forests and rivers . The condition of the latter , in the States of the Church , is deplorable ; nothing has been done for fifteen years to clear their beds or strengthen their embankments to prevent their flooding tbe country . As to the forests , they have been totally neglocted , ana those of Eajola and Terracina _, on the confines of the kingdom of Naples , are literally abandoned to pillage , whereby one ofthe greatest sources of wealth is rendered unproductive . —Galignani .
