      Seighxienr. —Easter Buss.—The War With I...

      _SEIGHXiEnr . —Easter Buss . —The war with ihe new Hector against the inhabitants for the recovery of Easter Dues , still progresses . Two more victims , Mr . John Lister and Mr . John Butterfield , tn on the list , destined to have their goods taken from their _bouses , unless they pay the tax to the State Church . To-day ( Wednesday ) , being what is commonly called Justice meeting , these two individuals made their appearance according to the order of the summonses , to shew cause why they refused to pay . They informed the magistrates and the Rector , wbo was present , t ha t as men who wanted nothing from the State Church , they thought it ought , in common honesty , to let them alone . They _vlso observed , that as they had never paid _anyliiiLg of the kind before , they were entirely ignorant cf the nature of the demand , and thought that , as

      it wis at best a _Questionable concern , they ought to » B 5 fy them by reading over the law on the subject . W . Eilis , Es q ., Chairman of the meeting , accordingly read something ont of a book handed to him by th e cl e rk , abont an Act passed in the reign of Will ia m III ., tor the better recovery of small tithes , offerings , oblations , obventions , & c . Alter the reading of this piece of staff ' , which appeared to contain nothing abont the case on hand , the magistrates gave their verdict , as a matter of course , in from ef tbe Rector , and told the parties to cash up , or take the consequences . The Rector then got np , quite satisfied with the decision of the Bench , and Trials ' , walkin g t owards t he door , had his ears sainted with a regular hiss from the crowd . The _tvro rietims , who are thus marked out as examples of the power of the Church , are honest , industrio u s m e n , and , like the two before , of Char t is t principles .

      Loxdo > " AiaoirBNKD Delegate _Msbtctg _, Craven Held , _Drury-lane , Mr . Butler in the chair . The abates were read , when a Delegate moved that the portion relating to the p i p e m a kers , be struck ont . After some little discussion , the original minutes were confirmed . Mr . O'Connor , from a Bociety of painters meetingin _Grosvenor Mews , handed in £ 5 . Mr 70 rley , plasterers , St . James ' B-Btreet , £ 5 , and i t would be continued weekly . Mr . Alston , painter , Horse and Groom , Portland-Street , £ 10 , and would _snbssribe £ 3 per month while tbe strike lasted . Mr . Jackson , carpenters , Queen ' s-Head , Acton-street , _Graj ' s-Inn Road , sent £ 20 last and now £ 20 more . Mr . Alston also paid in the sum of £ i Is . 6 d . private _sniseription . Mr . Goddard , s to n e sawyers , £ 5 ,

      hoped to be able to bring the same sum every week . Mr . Dunbar £ 2 7 s , 6 d . from private friends . Mr . Bilej , from bo o kbinders , sorry their funds were so low , but at their last strike had borrowed £ 40 from the masons , which they were now repaying by a levy of 2 s . _Sd . per man , and -would raise other _sabscriptiftBS if necessary . Mr . Simpson , carpenters , £ _S . M . Rjan 16 s . from friends . Operative London Stonemasons' Society , sot able to advance any more money tins week , as they had a great many members oc $ of emp loy , whom they were assisting , lest dire necessity should compel them to accept of the temptin g o ff e r s of Gris _s ell and Peso ; by so d o in g he belie ve d they were essentially benefitting the men on strike . A discussion ensued as to the best means of collector subscriptions , whether by lists signed and sealed bj the chairman of the masons' committee or by books : it was decided that the subscription lists

      should be adopted . Mr . Armstrong Walton detailed _sereral particulars connected with the strike , and tk great progress the cause was making in the provinces ; he also informed them that several of the _» en who had gone in at Woolwich and Nelson ' s Monument had since turned out . Mr . Worlhington stated that at the last strike they had received great assistance from the stone quarries , and t hat the men at stone quarries at Dartmouth , from whence Mesrs . Grissell and Peto procured their stones , were willing to strike if properly supported . Tbe chairman announced that £ 20 had been just handed in from the society of tin-plate workers meeting at the Ben Johnson , Bath-street , Coldba t h Fields . A discussion took place , whether twelve or fifteen shillings should be allowed to the masons os strike , bnt it was ultimately left in th e hands of the masons' committee , and after the transaction of other business , the meeting adjourned .

      _oUtTUXr . — Th e cau s e of t he peo p le , in opposition to that of their enemies , is daily advancing When I speak of the people , I mu st be unders t ood to mean no other than the working classes , who , in tbe second city of the British Empire , a pp ear to be ¦ are wretched than in any other city in the world . The shopkeepers of Dablin may be divided into three classes . The first look with ineffable eontenptupon the working classes , by whom they live , ud but for whom many of them would be in some Union Workhouse ; the second class are those who depend entirely upon tbe patronage of the aristocracy , both Whig and Tory ; and who look on all persons who do not agree with tbem in admiration cf their patrons as enemies to their country . The third class have a few honest men amongst . tbem ; tet , swing to the circumstances by which they are _Raroanded _, they will not , or they dare not , think for themselves , bnt blindly follow those who are

      _workup the ruin of their country . As a proof that the _working classes of Dublin see their position , and Taw they have to expect from this sort of people , _* io lne upon profits , the Total Abstinence Societies , * a & o : ber benefit societies , are forming themselves _ffito joint-stock companies , for the purpose of keeping _tte profits of their labour for their own use and hatfii , and thereby show these "independent _"opkeepers" their real condition . The _Lerse , which took place on Wednesday , the lithinst ., was the most numerously attended of any tell we hare had for a great number of years . It is _b _« said whether this was owing to the presence of Mr . _wCocneil _, as Lord Mayor , or to an effort on the _PW of the Tories to sustain the present Government . _~*^ as rather ludicrous to see the medal of Kin g William , the idol of the OrangemeD , appended to t & e sola chain , and dangling on the pious bosom of _f « " liberator . " Some of the profane were heard tosav _,

      " Oh ! mighty Daniei can it be , That this is all remains of thee ! ' ' Tne last speech of Mr .

      Seighxienr. —Easter Buss.—The War With I...

      BABHSLBT . —Coalpit Explosion . —One of the most awful and distressing accidents that ever took / place in this town , or it ever fell to our lot to record , happened about half-past six o ' elock on Monday morning . Just as the men got to their work at Mr . Twibell ' s co lli e ry , a fire-damp 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 have been created in the town and neighbourhood , it is impossible to describe . At an early hour the bank at the pit was covered with thousands of people , all anxious to ascertain tha fate of the unfortunate sufferers . This mournful catastrophe baa filled the whole town and neighbourhood with gloom ; and the

      distress of tiie 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 some public effort will be made to soften , so muoh as _svmpathy and charity can sof t en , its sad effects . Fifteen bodies in all have been got out of the pit , q uite dead , t heir names bein g as follow : —Three of the name of Hinchcliffe—an uncle and bis two nephews . James Deaoon and his son , a grown np yonth . Walker , ( who has left a wife and child , ) Scholey , and Mitchell . There is something particularly touching in this latter man ' s case ; he had bronght three bodies to the pit-bottom , and was in s e arch of a four t h , when he fell a sacrifice 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 , Sohofield , Pease , 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 though several rumours are current as to the cause of the explosion , but little of a very certain character can yet be said of it . All , however , agree that it orig inated in one of t he men go in g w i t h a candle into an unsafe part of the pit for his tools . The concussion was heard and felt too a , an immense distance . It was like the report of a field of ar t ille r y , and s h ook d o wn a wall near the pit . A young man named Walton was blown out of the

      eorve , whilst descending the shaft , and literally dashed to pieces ; whilst , singular to relate , two others wbo were descending with him escaped with but little injury . Tbis 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 thia distressing accident , was the preservation of two of the boys descending in the corve before adverted to . Although actually blown out of the corve , they dropped into it again as it went down ; whilst , as we h a ve stated , their poor companion fell te the bottom and was killed . So abundant and overpowering was the baleful vapour which occasioned this dreadful calamity , that it was observed to issue from the shaft-mouth for full three

      minutes after the explosion . An inquest was held on the bodies on Tuesday , and a verdict of " Accidental dea t h" was returned . HULL . —Public Meeting at the Town-Hall . In compliance with a requisition , si g ned b y 12 4 householder s , a large proportion of whom are voters , the Mayor has appointed a meeting to be held in the Town-Hall , at one o ' clock , on Monday , the 6 th of D e cember , to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament to take into consideration the present defective state of the representation of these kiuddoms in the Commons' House of Parliament , wi t h a view to its amendment . A soiree will be holden in the evenin gat the Freemason ' s Lodge .

      Rochdale. Demonstration In Honour Of Fea...

      ROCHDALE . DEMONSTRATION IN HONOUR OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . On Tuesday last , the above demonstration took place , and the display 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 adherence to the principles of Universal Liberty , and justice to the whole human family . Early in the mominf , groups began to arrive at the Chartist Association-room from various surrounding districts . As the hour appointed tor the meeting began te draw near , the anxiety of tbe 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 noon , a carriage and four drove up to the station , accompanied by the two marshals , and a great number of the friends of our cause , wbo , upon tbe arrival of Mr . O'Connor , formed into procession ; and , headed by the marshals , and the powerful band of the Chartist Association , proceeded down Duke-street to the place ef meeting in tbe Butts . There were several very beautiful £ & _ga in tbe procession—one from Todmorden in particular , a silk one , _witb tbo representation of a bee-hive in tbe centre—on the reverse , 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 with tremendous cheering , which lasted several minutes .

      Mr . George Howe , jeweller and watchmaker , was called on to preside . Mr . John Leech _mored a resolution to the following effect : — " That in the opinion of this meeting all the poverty and destitution which at present afflict the manufacturing classes of this country is the result of clan legislation , and that the _only ; remedy will be , to make tbe People's Charter the law of tbe land ; and that this meeting agree again to petition the House ef Commons immediately to place the Charter upon the Statute book ; aud that this meeting pledge themselves never to rest until the whole of the people are taken within the pale of the constitution . " Tbe _reaalution was seconded by Mr . Jos . Lin > ey .

      Mr . _O'Conxob . then rose and made a brilliant speech , which waa loudly cheered , but for which we havs not room . We understand , however , that his unmerciful _flagellation of the Sun _Bewspaper , for a leading article on Monday last , _therein tbe monster directsttie incendiaries' attention to Buckingham Palace and tbe Museum , _wts responded to by cheers and " bravo Feargus , " which lasted for several minutes . The distinction made by O'Connor , between an innocent and unoffending woman and an irresponsible monarch , was very beautiful . _Tpon the who _' . e , be gave the ' * firebrand press" a tremendous castigation . Thus writes our 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 with anything- less than tbeir just and legitimate _rights .

      Atthe conclusion of the meeting a proctssion was formed , and proceeded throngh tbe principal streets , accompanied by the band , flags , & c Mr . O'Connor was saluted from the windows of BeTeral friends of the cause , as the carriage proceeded through the streets , with tokens of respect and esteem . Tbe procession finally accompanied Mr . O'Connor to Mr . Tweedale's Hotel , Bailie-street , -wbere he was again greeted with loud & nd _enUyasiastic ctseering .

      TEA PAETY IS THE _EYESJ . NG . At five o ' clock , the hour appointed for the public tea party , tbe Temperance Institution , adjoining the Theatre , was beautifully decorated with banners , flags , mottcs , and devices belonging to tbe association , when upwards of 400 sat down to tea . On Mr . O'Connor entering the room , he was greeted with loud cheera The party enjoyed themselves in mirth and harmony until the hour appointed for tbe public meeting in the Theatre . Long before the hour appointed the Theatre was crowded to suffocation , and numbers went away unable te obtain admission . Mr . George Howe -vras again called to the chair . The first _tosst of tke evening waa "ThePeople , the _Bource of all legitimate power , " which was responded to by Mr . James Tatlok , in a very neat speech .

      The Cbaibmas then gave " The People ' s Charter , and may it soon become the law of the land . " Mr . Tbo : mas LnsEY was called on to respond . He said he was glad the committee had selected that subject for him to respond to , for he firmly believed that this ceuntry wonld never be justly legislated for until the principles of that Charter b # came law . "Under our present system of legislation we had every kind of property legislated for except labour . The Landowners , tiie East and West India Proprietors , the Church , and the Law , had each their representatives , 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 represented the system would be put on end to . ( Hear , hear , and cheera )

      [ At this stage of the proceedings the harmony of the meeting was in some degree interrupted by a Tory churchwarden , wbo appeared to be in a state of _intoxicaton . He -was appealed to on his impropriety , and shortly _afteiwards took his departure ] The speaker proceeded—There is now a plan ef emigration proposed to remove the present unemployed pertions of the community . If tbe Government wanted to remove any of the useless classes of this country , let them begin by emigrating all the Bishops , parsons , aristocrats , lawyers , and other pests of society—( loud cheers)—whose only labour is to live on the best of the land , and to be planning how to wring another farthing from tbe starving operative . If we had at the present time a great number of unemployed labourers , they should look at tbe cause , whieb . 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 placed under the power of the Rural Police ; it was a _disgwoe to the Tory party , who had petitioned for tbem , and thereby stamped their character with infamy . He called upon the people to single out the parties who had signed the memorial for tbeir introduction , and if they dared to come before the public , to mark such infamy by every means within their power . He thought that Rochdale , above all other places , ought to be exempt from such an unconstitutional force , for they bad shewn themselves capable of managing their own affivirs , by sending to Parliament a man who was an honour both to them and the country which gave bim birth . But their introduction was the result of _disapjointe party

      Rochdale. Demonstration In Honour Of Fea...

      m o tiv e s , and the people would never forget the party that bad caused their introduction . Tbe act will be the means of annihilating the last hopes of a faction that hare ever _distingnlihed themselves by crushing the liberties of the people . Mr . Ltvsey resumed bis seat amidst protracted cheering . Tbe next toast was " Frost , Williams , and Jones , and may they speedily be _restoredlo tbe bosom of their disconsolate families . " Mr . Joseph _Lisssy responded in a very feeling and affectionate manner . Mr . John Leach then presented an address to Mr . O'Connor , -which he did in a complimentary speech . An address waa also prevented by Mrs . Sarah Ashworth , on behalf of the females of Rochdale .

      Mr . O'Connor , in reply , addressed the assembly for upwards of an hour , in a speech replete with glowing eloquence , convincing argument , and deep pathos , wb ic h w s on ly i nterru p t ed b y t he enthusiastic cheers of his auditory . The concluding toast was " The Lancashire witches , " which was responded to byj Mr . THOMAS COOK , in a abort and humorous speech , which waa well received . At tbe conclusion of Mr . O'Connor ' s speech , he called upon all tbe persons in tbe meeting to come forth and join the Association , and appointed Mr . J . Llvsey treasurer for the M'Douall Fund .

      After the meeting , the band struck np , 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 fall to be beneficial to our rightful cause .

IT PLEASE YOUR LORDSHIP , —I should have presumed to address you a few days past , bad I not felt a delicacy iu trespassing on your valuable time , at a period when you must have bad ample employment in receiving the _tffice 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 your Lordship Is now beginning to feel yourself at home in your new _quarters , I may , as an Irishman , be permitted to ask—was it indispensible 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 enjoy 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 a & k , of what benefit to Ireland will be your acceptance of such 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 confidiDg , and this your Lordship has had many proofs of j 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 office , and to procure them " registered a vow" that no man should inow yeur political opinions . Now , my Lord , I have no objection to yonr silence , or to your office ; nor do I begrudge you the honour of feasting on veDison presented by the officer of a Tory Government ; but I do feel hurt to see my fellowcountrymen made the willing tools of your cupidity and ambition .

      There is one thing , however , which gives me a great deal of pleasure , and which I have no doubt will gratify your Lordship exceedingly ; namely , as you have 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 tbat you have now the opportunity to examine , and the power to punish , should you find any such Within your jurisdiction ; that you have the will to de so thare 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 wiil keep your promise as respects your silence on political matters , but I have no wish , save to furnish yoa with a few hints occasionally , which your Lordship can either muse upon in your easy chair , or reserve until heaven releases you from the solemn engagement y « u have so voluntarily made .

      A TRIP TO NOTTINGHAMSHIRE Invited to visit Nottingham , _Sutton-in-Ashfleld , and Maaifleld , and accepting the invitation , I left Sheffield at two o ' clock on Wednesday , Nov . 17 th , taking the train ( or rather the train taking me ) to Derby ; a hard frost the previous night had dried the Btreams , covered tbe earth with ita wintry mantle of white , and made the atmosphere piercing cold . I shall not pretend to give a description cf my ride to Derby—enough that about a quarter to four o ' clock we reached tbe station at Belper , and now I began to feel myself at home , the country was not new to me ; but though I had travelled the road several times between Derby and Belper , I could scarcely believe my senses when , after a few minutes' rapid whirl the well-remembered pleasant little village of _DufBeld gilded ( apparently ) by me , a few minutes more , and Derby " hove In sight" There was the town where 1 had while yet a boy braved per-

      secution , and In Brandreth ' s death cell bad laid me down nightly on my prison bed of straw to dream of the future when tyranny should wither and die , and equality , freedom , and justice reign triune sovereign of a liberated world . In that town where those musings of e nth usia sm were nurture d , which at a subsequent period found vent in speech , and brought down open me the denunciation of open enemies , and the slander of pretended but false friends . I was called madman , fool , traitor , ace . & c And why ? because I spoke what I felt " o , co « id i feel what I bave felt , or be what I havo beenr

      Says the poet ; but , 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 but t o conce al man ' s thoughts ; " but , 'tis a lesson that all must learn , and all must more or less act upon . Talleyrand has been denounced as a monster for giving expression to the above sentiment ; he was a monster , no d oub t , but he was bnt a little monster ; the great tyrannic monster is society , that practically proclaims and enforces the above rule . Am I asked , do I act u po n that rul e ? I answer , yes ! for I do not now speak all that I _feek I feel more than tongue or pen can tell—much more ! In that town of Derby I once had friends" friends of my youth ; " perhaps by them I am now forgotten . But why pursue the subject further ! the recollections of the past are painful , and if they recall a few gleams of sunshine , they serve but to render the

      darkness of disappointment more visible . We reached _tie Derby Station about ten minutes past four o ' clock—that station with its innumerable offices and rooms of refreshment—its gas illnminstionits 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 a 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 bave wrought that wbich to be appreciated must be seen— -these men , nature ' s nobility , are treated as outcast Parians by those who profit by their toll ; even on these railways , these " modern improvements " on tbe old system of travelling , your "third class passenger" is treated worse than the dog of the aristocrat , —and why ? Because he is poor !

      " How long by tyrants shall the earth be trod ? How long thy people trampled on , O God ?" I had hoped to bave been able to have spent an houi in Derby , but finding , unless I took the first train , I could not leave until half-past seven , I had no alternative but to proceed . Accordingly at half-past four I left Derby in tbe 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 publio affairs generally . I found my new acquaintance to be a bitter foe of the aristocracy and a stanch Corn Law repealer . The Chartists , of course , came in for their share 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 I flatter myself made him half if not wholly a convert . He admitted that the suffrage was the right of the people , but feared it weuld only be obtained by bloodshed ; that I showed him waa a vain fear ; that would tbe middle class honestly join the people , tbe Cnarter wonld be made the law without the shedding of a drop ot blood , or the loss of a single life . He assented but doubted if the middle classs would join the people ; but added , tbat 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 wbich 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 right this difficulty may be surmounted . Justice demands tbat I should here pay a passing compliment to that honest patriot James Sweet , who is regarded as tbe life and soul of the movement In Nottingham . He has the universal confidence of the people . Long may be enjoy what he so well deserves .

      Thursday , left Nottingham per coach for Mansfield , on my way to Sutton ¦ our road lying through a part of the far-famed Sherwood forest , the scene of the exploits of that immortal king of good fellows , "bold Robin Hood . " I was not aware until too late , that at one point of the road I was within a mile of _Newstead Abbey , had I been aware of tbis in due time , nought should 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 tben prevent me worshipping at the poet ' s shrine .

      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 the men of Sutton the justice of saying , tbat ef 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 been law , but such was not the case . Well , have the men of Sutton allowed this to damp their spirits , or destroy their euergies ? No ; on the contrary they are now , rja before , in the van of the democratic army , steadily extending their organisation , collecting funds , and procuring signatures te the petition . God speed them , is my prayer , and may the men of every _other locality reading this—" go and do likewise . "

      Friday , went to Mansfield ; I here found tbat our " old friend with anew face , " Mr . Murray , of Manchester , late of Liverpool , was to lecture the same evening on " Corn Law Repeal . " Mr . Murray ' s visit was very fortunate , as the Chartists not having a room where they could bold a large meeting , had intended to have called the people together in the Market-place ; this owing to the state of the weather and extreme cold , was impossible , as such I agreed with the Council to summon our friends to hear Mr . Murray . They needed little summoning , and by halfpast seven , the room ( large and commodious ) was well filled with Chartists and Corn Law Repealers . Mr . Hamilton proposed that Mr . Dutton , a Chartist , should take the chair , some person proposed another gentleman , whose name I did not catch . A show of hands was taken , when by a sweeping mnjorlty the Chartist chairman was elected .

      Mr . Murray then delivered his lecture , upon which I need say nothing . I then replied , and after speaking about half an hour , moved the adoption of the following resolution : — " That while this meeting consider the existing Corn Law to be unjust aud oppressive , and one that ought to be erased from tho statute book , thay are also of opinion that the said law is but one of the numberless evils under wbich the working classes lahour , the result of class-legUlation ; and this meeting pledges itself to aeitatr . for no measure of reform short of tho 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 hands were held up for the amendment , and from two hundred and fifty to three hundred for the original motion . Three cheers for O'Connor , three for the Welsh martyrs , and three for the Charter and no surrender , closed _theHriuroph of the good men and true . Last Saturday ' s Star exhibited the awful distress prevalent in Mansfield—need I add tbat circumstances are doing what argument failed totffect—and the " good old cause ' moves on . The services of Mr . Dean Taylor , as county lecturer , have been productive of immense good . Mr . Taylor is warmly respected by the Nottinghamshire ChartiBts , and his highly successful labours will entitle him t ® their esteem .

      Saturday , I returned to Sheffield . One word with Mr . O'Connor . The Nottingham Chartists are most anxious to know when he will visit tbeir good town . As one of the first places to rally round the banner of Radicalism at his call , five years ago—tbey tbink they should not , and I am sure they will not , be forgotten . George Julian Harney .

      The English Chartist Circular To The Edi...

      THE ENGLISH CHARTIST CIRCULAR TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —it rejoices my soul to see another ' number o f the Chartist Circular , which , from its tardy arrival this last week at this sink or ce _s-pool of Toryism , I had begun to fear had gone to tbat bourn from which only tbe immediate energy of our Chartist brethren can rescue it I do , however , so l emn ly tru st th a t t hey wi l l 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 the whole breadth of the land should carry the Chartist Circular in his bosom , and read it to his 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 In a manner worthy of men nnired in the sacred cause of freedom . I do fervently trust that the Chartist brethren of the United Kingdom will carry it triumphantly through its present unassured course , and I have great satisfaction in stating that , on my reading tbe appeal referred to above , and the remarks connected with , it , and the letter of our Chartist brother whioh precedes it , to tbe Committee of the Chartists here , they readily and unanimously resolved to adopt his suggestion , to take a dozen

      copies weekly , for discretional and gratuitous distribution .

      Supposing , Mr . Editor , the National Charter Asso ciation to extend at this tune over 250 towns , if eaoh locality would agree te takeadcaen 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 , this would make the demand to be 5 , 000 , that is , 250 multiplied by 20 , which I trust would prove a remunerating number ; bat if otherwise , I would recommend that at the end of the present volume or section , it were raised to a penny , which I am assured no real Chartist would object to .

      Let us make a simultaneous national movement to place the Chartist Circular in a situation of prosperity , and to afford its meritorious editor tbat satisfaction , in regard to its publication , which his labours and his outlay of capital justly entitle him to . Respectfully aud sincerely yours , A Chartist . Liverpool , Monday , Nov . 15 th , 1841 . ATTACK UPON MR . LOWERY , THE CHARTIST MISSIONARY , AND MR . CHRISTOPHER COYNE , OF CAPEL-STREET , DUBLIN .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE _NORTHEBK STAR . Sir , —Mr . Coyne called upon me and complained of having bis name included amongst the names of the party who made the brual attack upon Mr . Lowery , in Henry street , in August , 1839 , and tor which they received the marked approbation of tbe Lord Lieutenant and the thanks of Mr . O'Connell . He said that he was in the room when tbe attack was made npon Mr . Lowery , bnt that 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 why he did not speak out was , that be did not wish bis name to appear before the public at tbe 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'Higgins .

      The Crown And Anchor Address To O'Brien....

      THE CROWN AND ANCHOR ADDRESS TO O'BRIEN . Wehave _received , on this subject , a letter from Mr Wa t kins , which we think it right to publish , and which is the last we mean to publish on the matter . Mr . Watkiu 8 _says : —

      11 TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAB . " Sib , —My friends In London bave pressed me , very much against my ewn inclination , to notice s e veral misrepresentations that nave lately appeared in the Star . I am so accustomed to these things tbat they have no effect upon me ; but my friends say that they may take effect against me in quarters where tiie 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 np tbat address , Which was adopted by the Committee , and became the address of the Committee . In my capacity of reporter to the Committee , I forwarded tbe 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 , but the business of the Reporter to the Star to report what took place atthe Crown and Anchor ; in his absence , a friend did it for him it appears . 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 , Jcc" 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 , mindless of tbe interruption that had taken place . The address was 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 ot tbe one adopted by tiie Committee .

      • 'To every word in tiie objected passage of tbat address , I stand . Time nor circumstance has not yet allowed any p ress t o r ep _resent the i nt e r e s ts of wo r k i n g men in their fullest extent . Let the emphasis be hud 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 oi Carrier ' s benefit ; and there was no time to apprize bim of it Both places were filled ; those , therefore , who complain most must be fond of complaining .
