John Price , _jrau . Secretary to tbe operative masons , laid before tha _meeting a fair aad fan » _fri * fTOfif * of tbe _eoodnct of Mr . Allen , which led to the strike of the operative masons in ths employ of Messrs . _CrrisseQ aad Peto , at the New Honses of _Par-Uamest , London . Mr , Wm . Powter was than called apon , who read the _corrwpoadaoee between tbe masons andMesan . Grissell wad Peto , which seemed to decide the lauming _, evasive , and inoonsistent charaetssof Allen . Tbe Chairman then called npon the delegates from Qie various trades to state tbeir opinions npon what had been laid before them .

      Tiie Delegate from tbe _Operative Carpenter * in General Union felt himself proud in having the honour to lay before the masons the _foUoving address agreed to at a general meeting of tbe body .

      TO THR OPERATIVE XA 50 N 8 IK THE UNION . We , the carpenters and joiner * in general anion , at a ¦ pedal meeting beld this 9 th day of November , having duly considered all _eironmstanees connected with your strike , or rather turn-out in London , are unanimously of opinion that tbe condnct of Alien was of a usurping , overbearing , and tyrannical nature , and that the men who left the employment of Messrs Grasell and Peto ea that account are deserving our sympathy and support ; we , therefore , humbly present yoa with the ¦ am of £ 10 , regretting that tbesnm is so small ; but sot knowing bow soon a similar attack may be made on onr own camp , we are forced therefore to act with all doe eantion , and a limited _Hoerality , or tke amount -would be larger . We hope that it will be sufficient to

      convince yon that we coincide with tbe decisive steps yon have taken , and will at all time * do out best to assist in oppocing tbe tyranny and oppression of snch men u Allen ; and note particularly when the men aet h yon bare done—peaceably and judiciously ; and we bave no doubt tbat with tha co-operation of yonr brethren , yoa will ever stand formidable against your enemies , not only against tyrannical employers , but against those dastardly and unprincipled masons , as tbey term themselves , tbat have attempted to do your work . Bnt thanks te God , their base attempts have bean frustrated , and ever will be , so long as yon stand firm to _yom-aelTW—no division in your camp . We remain , yours , Ths _Ofrratiys Carpenters and Joiners in Union in tbe City of BristoL

      Signed in behalf of tbe meeting , William Moses , Chairman . Thos . Bow rev , Secretary . After thanks had been given to the operative carpenters and joiners in union for their kind address , delegates from the following trades , gave In their reports , namely , _cardtramere , bmshmakers , corkcutters , local masons , coopers , sawyers , smiths , tinplate workers ; the delegates from tbe smiths giving a voluntary subscription from that body # f £ 2 . Mr . Langford , delegate from the boot and shoemakers , made a very excellent appeal In behalf of tbe rights of tbe working men . It was then proposed by Mr . Clifton , seconded by Mr , Copp .

      " That we an of opinion that after the full and fair statements with respect to the masons . at present on strike , tbat they acted as men , and are deserving the esteem and respect of the operatives of Bristol ; and on tbe other band tbe conduct of Mr . Allan is deserving tbe reprobation of every honest man . *' _Carned _mranimonsry . Ut . Simeon proposed , and Mr . Battle seconded , " That this meeting condemns the conduct of those individuals whe have been so unmanly and unprincipled in _sopplanting those masons who bave left the employ of Messrs- _Otissell and Peto , in consequence of the overbearing and tyrannical condnct of George Allen , their foreman at tbe Ns ¦ Houses of Parliament snd we further trust , those serfs will in due time meet with tbat _contempt and reproach which their unmanly conduct so well deserves . " Carried unanimously .

      After several very severe animadversions on the press by various speakers , it was then proposed by tbe Dele gate from the operative carpenters and joiners , and duly seconded by Mr . Jones , " That with regard to the present strike of tbe masons in London , the conduct of a certain portion of tbe press in that city gives ns no very great surprise , as we believe that the majority of the press in this country is bound to support tbe interests of tbe capitalists before that of tiie working man , but from henceforth we are determined to withdraw onr support from those papers which do not come boldly out for the rights sod interest of tbe working classes , and we beg distinctly to be understood , that we consider the Dispatch , tbe London Times , and Morning Advertiser to have taken the part of Messrs . Grissell aad Peto against tbe masons . "

      A vote of thanks were then proposed to Messrs Hill and Hobson for having opened the columns of the Northern Siar to the advocacy of the rights of the working men ; to the Chairman for his conduct in the chair ou this occasion , and the meeting was adjourned until that night week , at eight o'clock .

      SHEFFIELD ( From our own Correspondent . ) The Polish Revolution . —By announcement in another part of the Star , it will be seen that the Sheffield Chartists intend holding a meeting on Monday next , the 29 th instant , in commemoration of the Polish Revolution . We trust upon that occasion the democrats of Sheffield will not fail to attend . Whilst we struggle for our own rights , we shonld not be unmindful of the rights of others , and the straggles of other nations to establish that liberty which God gave as the universal heritage of all mankind . Claiming the sympathies of the human race for ourselves in our present righteous contest , we ahould be ever ready to extend our own sympathy to the patriots of other nations who may bave braved the battle-field , and may bear the exile ' s chain only because they sought what we seek—the triumph of justice , and the enfranchisement of their father-land .

" He illustrated the _profligacy of royalty , aud then turning to the United States of America , contrasted the freedom and happiness there enjoved , with the miserable state of things he

      had described as existing here . The lecturer _consluded by quoting from the works of Mr .

      Criminal Information Against The U North...

      CRIMINAL INFORMATION AGAINST THE u NORTHERN STAR . " THE QUEEN V . WHITE AND O ' CONNOR . The Attorney-General moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against George White , of Bromsgrove , for writing a false and scandalous libel , reflecting upon the character of tbe Rev . C . A . Anstey , one of the Masters of Rugby School , and against F . O'Connor , the proprietor of the Northern Star , for publishing the libel in that paper . The libel was contained in a letter addressed to the Editor by George White , one of the defendants , and dated Bromsgrove , 30 th October , and which imputed to the gentleman on whose behalf the application was made , conduct of

      a nature so atrocious , and so utterly base , that if it were true it could not be characterised in language too strong . The writer of the letter , afterstating tbat as a proof that in this country there was one law for the rich and another for the poor , said he would relate several instances of abominations committed by the parsons in the south of England , whioh clearly proved the rascality of the richer classes . The letter then went on to state that a certain poor hawker had , some time since , in consequence of his poverty , been obliged to send his wife and child home te her mother , at Rugby , and that she _subsequently went into the workhouse , where she , unfortunately , attracted the attention of a certain Rev . Gentleman , who was

      a married man , and one of the head masters of Rugby School ; that the hawker , having subsequently become enabled to maintain his wile , applied to have her restored to him , but that tbe Rev . Gentleman , having determined to make her tho victim of hiB improper desires , prevented her joining her husband ; that the hawker then appplied to the Guardians to discharge his wife and her child , and that on her discharge she was inveigled by the parson into his house ; that on the hawker threatening him with an action if he detained his wife , the parson discharged her from his own house and took another for her close to his own ; and that he also induced the parish officers to make a claim against the hawker for £ 12 18 j . lid .

      for the maintenance of his wife , and that subsequently Bhehad had a child by his Reverence ; that after this the parson bad offered the hawker money to live with his wife again , which he had refused to do , and tbat the parson had taken her before a magistrate to make her swear the child was her husband's , but tbat the magistrate had refused to administer the oath to her ; that in order to prevent the husband from taking proceeding- - , the parson had procured his imprisonment in Warwick gaol on one occasion for two months , on another for twelve months ; that the hawker would enter into an action against the parson , but he had no means ; and the letter concluded by asking whether Mr . O'Connor would take up this case , wbich

      was another instance of the manner in which the laws were worked by ihe rich to make the poor subservient to the gratification of their beastly appetites . Now his affidavits went to show that the Reverend C . A . Anstey was the person alluded to in the libel ; and tbe affidavit of the Rev wend Gentleman and his wife went to show that some years since they had taken a person named Ann Fearon , who had been married to an Irish hawker , and who bad left her husband to live with ber mother , in consequence of his inability to support her , into their service as an occasional servant ; tbat she afterwards went to reside

      with her mother , and that Mrs . Anstey having heard that her husband had returned , and was ill using her , to induce her to live with him , had gone , accompanied by Mr . Anstey , to the cottage of Ann Fearon ' _B mother , and had found Fearon ill using her ; that Mr . Anstey had remonstrated with her , and recommended her to come and live quietly at Rugby , which Fearon said he could not do , as he owed the parish officers money ; that thereupon Mr . Anstey had offered to speak to the parish officers on the subject , to induce them to take the money by instalments , which he had done , and bad written to Fearon on the subject .

      Mr . Justice Wiohthan—He denies all the impu « tat . ons 1 The Attorney-General—He does , my Lord . — The Learned Attorney-General then proceeded to contend that it was a duty Mr . Anstey owed himself , the school , and his country to come forward and clear himself of those imputations , which had been cast upon him merely for a political purpose . Rule granted . —Sun , Wednesday .

      Huddersfield.—On Sunday Evening Last, Mr...

      HUDDERSFIELD . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . West , the West-riding lecturer , gave a lecture in tho _association room , Upperhead-row , to an _overflowing audience . He gave great and universal satisfaction . His principle text was the decreeing of unrighteous decrees against the poor . He handled the subject with a masterly hand , and made very great impressions , not very favourable to the powers mat be . At the conclusion , an elderly gentleman , rose , who , by the bye , is a local preacher , and exclaimed that" if ever he heard a true Gospel sermon preached in the whole course of bis life , he had heard one that night . " Indeed the lecturer proved himself well versed in Scripture .

      The League Again . —On Monday last , our _Philosophical Hall was crowded to _exoess , to hear the _^ reat gun of the _aati-Corh Law League ; indeed the very name of Col . Thompson was sufficient of itself to attract great numbers , he being well known as a pubic character . Ho had proved himself too honest for the factions , both Whig and Tory ; and it is very much to be regretted that such a man aa the Colonel should be found in company with a set of political Whig quacks , supporting aud puffing their political nostrums ; but it "was no go ; " indeed , the Colonel himself was obliged to acknowledge that thu _cxnss of all our national grievances , was the usurping of our political rights by the most _villanous of all monopolies , the monopoly of legislation , and that all good and virtuous men would go for the removal

      of the cause . The Colonel found out it was no easy matter to answer the variety of plain and simple questions put to him by plain and simple then , whom he fouud wero too mueh awake to the sophistry and finesse of those who now claim the superior learning , and the Colonel , in this respect , tried his be » t in various ways , but found it would not do ; a plain simple question without a positive answer , caused him to ieel his situation , aad he seemed to yield under it . A question was asked , would they sign the National Petition , if the Chartists woula 6 ign the anti-Corn Law ? No , wss the reply . The meeting concluded by giving a vote of thanks , and three cheers to the Colonel , stating that they were glad to see him at Hucdersfiold , believing that he had come with goad intentions .

      HULL . —Mr . Stallwood lectured on thedistress of the country and the remedy for the same , on Monday evening . A large conconrae of people assembled in the large Freemason ' s Lodge , Mytongate . Mr . Webster was called to the chair . Mr . Stallwood was greeted with the most hearty acclamations . Ho addressed the audience at considerable length , contrasting wealth and want—investigated in a bold , clear , and lucid manner , our" wellbalanced" constitution—and pointing to tbe Charter as a remedy , he concluded his lecture amid the loudly expresssed approbation of all present .

      BKVEBXET . —Mr . Stallwood addressed a public meeting at the Pack _Horso Inn , Market-place , at seven o ' clock on Tuesday evening . The large room of the above inn was densely crowded : Mr John White was called to the chair . It was agreed that an address be presented to her _Majesty congratulating her on her safe deliveiy , praying the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , the liberation of political victims , ud the adoption of the Charter .

      Huddersfield.—On Sunday Evening Last, Mr...

      OLDHAM—On Sunday evening last , Mr . Henry _Smethurst gave a most energetic and soul-stirring lecture in the Chartist Room , Greaves-street , in whioh he depicted the extravagances of the Royal household ; _contrasting it with the degradation , misery , find starvation of the labouring classes ; all of whioh evils the lecturer attributed to class legislation , and the only permanent remedy that could be applied for the removal of these er Us was the People ' s Charter being made the basis of the Constitution . To acquire this great object , he urged his hearers , both male and female , to join the National Charter Association , to lay aside all religions prejudices and examine for themselves , and they would find that religion and politics must « o band in hand .

      Tbis was the doctrine of the Word of God . The lecture was listened to with great attention , anil the crowded audience went away highly delighted . MAWGHESTEB . —On Sunday evening , the Chartists who formerly worshipped at Tib-street on Sunday evenings , opened their New Room , which was attended very numerously , and Mr . Duffy delivered an excellent lecture . On the same evening Mr . Griffin lectured on the Corn Laws , the polioy of the league , and the conduot of masters in making reductions , and gave great satisfaction . Mr . Cartledge , after speaking very highly of the lecturer , moved the following resolution , which was carried unanimously : — "That we , the Chartists of Brownstreet , baving attended the _meetings of Manchester

      and neighbourhood , where the reporter of the Star has been present , and having afterwards read the reports in the Star , declare , so far as they have been inserted , they have been correct ; and we throw back the attempt of those who are endeavouring to injure the Siar , and impugn the veracity of the reporter . " ASHTON . —Discussion between the Chartists and thb Corn Law Repealers . —The Committee of the Charter Association of this town , and the Committee of the Anti Corn Law Association , bave had it in contemplation , for the last six weeks , to make arrangements for a discussion between the Chartists and Com Law repealers of Manchester , on the subject of the Corn Laws . Last week the terms were agreed upon , and the town placarded ,

      announcing two nights disoussion , on Monday and Tuesday evenings . The Chartists sent an invitation to Mr . Bell , of Salford , and Mr . Griffin , to take the Chartist view of the question . The other party invited MeeKrs . VVatkins . Culverwell , Rawson and Birtch , aa their champions . On Monday evening , agreeably to the notice , the hard hands , unshorn chins , and fustains , assembled in large numbers in the Charlestown meeting-room . Mr . Smith waa chair man for the Corn Law party , and SSx . Woodroff for the Chartists , and Mr . Spencer umpire . Each Chairman hoped they would give every speaker a fair and impartial hearing , and that neither approbation nor disapprobation would be shown . After the reading of the placardand stating the terms

      , , Mr . Culverwell was called upon to open the question , for whioh he was allowed twenty minutes . The speaker then went through a regular culled , prepared , cut , and dried speech , containing the old absurdities , which have been exploded and refuted scores of times . Mr . Bell occupied twenty minutes in reply , and upset every position of his opponent . Mr . _Kawson , another of the Anti-Corn Law party , went exactly in the same strain as his colleague . Mr . Griffin gave way to Mr . Littler , and reserved himself till the second evening . Mr . L . supported the arguments brought forward by Bell

      manfully . Our readers will form some estimation how they went on when we inform them that Bell and Littler followed them up , quoting their own authority , and beat them upon their own ground , until they were driven so close into a corner as to deny that M'Cullooh , Porter , and M'Queen were any authority , or any standard , to go by . Both Culverwell and Rawson , finding they were dead beat , would not acknowledge either of those three statistical writers , although they are quoted by all the lecturers and speakers upon the subject . The subjeot was well sifted , and has done much good to the movement for the Charter . A vote of thanks

      to the chairmen was moved by Mr . Bell , and seconded by one of the other party , and the meeting dispersed without any resolution , by giving three cheers for Feargus O'Connor . Second Night ' s Discussion . —The disoussion was resumed on Tuesday evening , before the same Chairman and umpire as on the previous evening . The discussion was carried on in excellent temper , and at the close a resolution , proposed and seconded by two working men , in favour of the People ' s Charter being the first step to be taken for ihe redress of all grievances , was unanimously carried .

      BUH . TON-TJPON--TBENT .-0 n Sunday last , the Chartists of Burton paid a visit to the poor man ' B church , in Redwood Forest , to hear a sermon from the Rev . Humphry Price . The text was taken from the thirteenth chapter of Proverbs , and the twenty-third verse ; the words are— " Much food is in the tillage of the poor , but there is tbat is _des -troyed for want of judgment . " The sermon gave general satisfaction ; All declared that they never heard such a sermon before . The weather was very unfavourable ; but the Burton Chartists are determined to continue their visits to the poor man's church , despite wind or weather ; and they hope tbat every poor man in Burton will join them in supporting the only poor man ' s church , and fill the empty seats which are deserted by their enemies .

      STOCKPORT . —On Friday evening last , Mr . Birtoh , of Manchester , one of the anti-Corn Law lecturers , came to this town to lecture to the Youths ' anti-Corn Law Association . Although it is called a Youth ' s Association , the greater number are men , some forty , others fifty , and even as high as sixty years of age . ' The Chartists mustered and elected their own Chairman b y an overflowing majority , and rejected the self-elected Mr . Coppock . Town Clerk . This was rather too galling to be stood quietly ; and to obviate it , he called for the police to take Carter into custody . Birtoh proceeded with his written lecture amid the laughter of the assembly ; and at the conclusion , Coppock gave him a vote of thanks himself ; not daring to put it to the meeting . In the meantime , Carter was confined in an anti-room , guarded by two policemen , until he shivered with cold ; and in order to make up for the insult , when they released him , Coppock offered him a shilling .

      Lecture . —Mr . Clarke lectured here on Sunday evening last . Much enthusiasm was exhibited . Several new membere were enrolled . HALIFAX . —DKrEAT OF THE "PLAGUE . —The "Plague" men of Halifax have had Col . Thompson down for tho purpose of " putting salt on the people ' s tail ; " but it was " no go . " Mr . West , the West Riding lecturer , tackled the gallant Colonol , and so pestered him with facts and figures that hi 1 * " salt" became quite ineffective . After a smart discussion , the following resolution was proposed by Mr . James Rawson , and seconded by Mr . John Crossland , ' That this meeting is of opinion that a Repeal of the Corn Laws , accompanied by other just and necessary measures is unattainable but by and

      through a Radical Reform in the House of Commons , and this meeting pledges itself not to assist in the agitation of any political question , savethat of the enfranchisement of the whole people , and will never cease their efforts in the cause of right until the People's Charter shall become the law of the land . " The Chairman inquired if there was any amendment , but none appearing , he put the motion , when the forest of hands that appeared waa incalculable ; and , in a meeting of between two and three thousand , six hands were held np against it ! The Chairman declared it carried , amidst the most enthusiastic cheering . Cheers were then given for the Charter , for O'Connor and the forthcoming demonstration , for West , for Frost , Wiiliama , and Jones , and tho meeting separated .

      Leeds West Ward—Mr . T . B . Smith attended a meeting atthe Queen ' s Arms , on Wednesday night , and delivered a leoture on Universal Suffrage and tbe Ballot . He was listened to for more than an hour with the deepest attention . Another meeting of a like character will be held at the same place shortly . LONDON . —Tailors—Mr .

A Meeting of the General Council of the National Charter Association was held on Wednesday evening , at the room , 55 , Old Bailey , to receive information from the Executive , and to take such steps for the benefit of the cause as might be deemed most expedient . Mr . Cuffay was called to the chair . Mx . Campbell procured tbe residences , & c , of the various sub-Secretaries , and other matter necessary to forwarding the bnsiness of that body . Messrs . Campbell , Leaoh , and M'Douall addressed the meeting , and detailed their views on our present

      position . The following resolution was passed ;—" That the members of the National Charter Association cannot depart from this room , without _iheir sincere thanks being given to the members of the Exeoutive for their manly , determined , and persevering conduct in carrying out the objects for whioh they were placed in power , especially that part relating to the advice given , to do away with differences that have arisen amongst ns in carrying out our object , namely , to cause the People ' s Charter to become tho law of the land . " Mr . Leach then requested that auditors might be appointed to inspect tbe balance sheet of the Executive , previous to its being published . Messrs . Maynard and Robson were appointed . The meeting then adjourned , with a vote of thanks to tke Chairman .

      Feargus O'Connor At Bolton. On Wednesday...

      FEARGUS O'CONNOR AT BOLTON . On Wednesday , Mr . O'Connor visited this town , and had , according to the opinion of all who had the pleasure of seeing and judging , one of Ihe moat _mimerons , orderly , and enthusiastic meetings ever held inside any building in the town . . Towards evening groups were seen coming from all the surrounding districts ; many , as far as ten or twelve miles . At five o ' clock they began to flock into the Hall , until about six hundred had taken their seats for tea . Whilst preparations were being made , a quadrille band , whioh had been engaged for

      the oceasion , enlivened the assembly by playing some lively airs . The spacious Hall , btult by the Teetotallers , was illuminated by four large chandeliers . The building is calculated to bold abont 3 , 000 people . V About naif-past five o ' clock , the time for commencing , Mr . O'Connor , accompanied by the good and true , entered the room . He was met and greeted in such a manner as to baffle description . In a short time he ascended the platform , and was again cheered . The company then partook to satisfaction of ** the cup which cheers but not inebriates . " This portion of the business being

      over , Mr . O'Connor advanced to the front of the platform and announced his intention to sit till eight o ' clock to enrol members , and particularly invited the ladies . Many names were enrolled , the majority Of whom were Mr . O'Connor ' s own country men and countrywomen—tbe number who took cards of membership amounts to one hundred . Mr . Wrenwick was then called to the chair , and the doors having been thrown open to the public , the spacious room was soon crowded to exoess , hundreds being unable to obtain admission . Mr . Dixon moved the first resolution , as follows : — "That we welcome with unfeigned delight that Noble Patriot , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ,, once more amongst us , after his imprisonment in the dungeon of a tyrannical Government . "

      The resolution was seconded by Mr . Hyslop , Draper , from Wigan , iu a very humourous and sarcastic speech , which called forth the cheers of the audience . The resolution was carried amidst the most tremendous cheering , during which Mr . O'Connor rose , but it was some time before he could obtain silence to proceed . He spoke for two hours , in bis usual eloquent and argumentative manner , and was listened to with marked attention . A huge number of the middle class were present , who came forward and confessed that they had been misled , and that he had completely dispelled their prejudices . Mr . Vickebs moved the next resolution , whioh was seconded by Mr . Gallaisby , and carried unanimously . It was as follows : —

      That this meeting places the most unbounded confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., as an agitator , and will continue the same so long as he preserves his present career of agitation for the rights of labour and of man . " Mr . O'Connor again briefly addreB & ed the assembly in acknowledgment , and made a powertul appeal in favour ot Dr . M'Douall . Thanks were then proposed to the Chairman , to Mr . Barrow , and to the ladies , for their efficient services , which were carried with enthusiastic cheering . Cheers were given for the Charter , and for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and before the meeting separated Mr . O'Connor enrolled more names in the association , and the petition sheets were numerously signed . The cause has rapidly progressed in Bolton within the last few weeks . ¦

      To The Editor Of The Northern Star. Sib,...

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sib , — ' 'ho Enumeration Committee will feel greatly obliged by your insertion of the following in your paper of Saturday next , in order to correct some inaccuracies which appeared in Mr . Rattray ' s letter of Saturday last , with respect to the dates of certain communications which passed between the Committee and the local authorities . Mr . Rattray has loft Leeds to work at Coventry , or he would have corrected those errors himseu . The letter sent to J . D . Luocook , Esq ., overseer ( in answer to one received from him , dated 18 th October ) although dated 19 th October , by some means or other , was not put in the Post Office till the 21 st ., and did not reach Mr . Luccock till the 22 id .

      Mr . Rattray also states that a deputation waited upon the Mayor subsequent to waiting upon Mr . Lucoook ; but the faot is , they waited upon the Mayor on the 21 st October , and did not see Mr . Luccock till the 28 ; h . Mr . Luccock having waited upon the Committee on Tuesday evening last , and in the kindest and most gentlemanly manner pointed out the inaccuracies iu Mr . Rattray ' s letter , they felt it to be their duty , in justice to Mr . Luccock , to give the above explanations ; as they have no desire to mislead the public in any respect , or to

      come into collision with any of the local authorities ; their sole object throughout , and the whole of their inquiry has been , and is , to benefit their distressed and suffering fellow operatives ; and , whenever they err m any of their statements , they are willing at all times , on these errors being pointed out , to retract them . Mr . Luccock also entered into a friendly conversation with the Committee , as to the best means of _affording immediate relief to the suffering poor ; and , after each had explained their view of the subject , tbe following resolution was passed unanimously : —

      That John Speed and Wm . Cliff be appointed a deputation to deliver up the Enumeration Book immediately to Mr . Barr , on a condition agreed to by Mr . Luccock , that all cases which may be objected to by the Overseers , shall be submitted to the Enumeration Committee previously to the Overseers making their report to the Magistrates . " The Books are now in the hands of the authorities , and the Committee hope and trust that such use will be made of them as to benefit the distressed poor .

Mr . Parker delivered an able discourse

      on the real character of the gospel , and the practical effect it was calculated to accomplish , which was listened to with the deepest attention . Mr . P . denounced the evils arising from hirelings and vicious parsons , together with their connection with publicans , pawnbrokers , police spies , and other idol drones , in bold and energetic language , and bronght before his hearers the words of truth and soberness . A band of music was also in attendance , to whose gratuitous assistance the friends of Hunslet are much indebted . The music appeared to afford high satisfaction to a respectable and crowded audience .

      _^ Upper . Wortley . —Mr . T . B . Smith preached here on Sunday afternoon to a most attentive audience . The ground only wants cultivating to yield an abundant harvest . Mr . Smith , encouraged by SO fair a prospect , engaged to preach to them every alternate Sunday in the afternoon , and in . th © evening pnoe in six weeks . The friends hope to obtain further help .

      Leeds Cloth Markets . —There is nothing of 1 more cheering nature to report of the staple man . fact urea of this district . - The clothiers COmpiia bitterly that tbey cannot get remunerated even Ut what cloth they sell , and the markets on _Tuesdn and Saturday were verv slack indeed . There b scarcely so much doing in the warehouses as that was a few weeks ago . State op Trade . —The announcement of thefailtm of an extensive house in the print trade , in this torn , and the accounts of a continued pressure for mow ; in London , caused a very gloomy market yesterdaj . The demand for yarn was extremely limited , ud the little business done was at lower prices for several descriptions . For goods , the market wit still worse ; there was literally no demand , ud prices were altogether nominal . —Manchester Gw . dian , of _Wednesdey .

Huddersfield Cloth Market , Nov . 23 . —Ait market day this was one of the worst that has occurni for many weeks ; and , were it not that some good

      and tolerably extensive sales have been made to order , the condition of the manufacturers would be deplorable . Happily , however , there is an inquiry for the American market for light fancies of varioB descriptions : but the general demand is very limited . Prices are very low , but firm ; and a hope still exisfe that the long depression will shortly terminate froa the mere force of circumstances . Business inlbe warehouses is perhaps no worse , but by no mem animated .

      Bradford Market , Thursday , Nov . 25 th . — Wool—Theldemand for Coarse and Middle Combinr sorts is still active at our last quotations ; but w higher qualities are more plentiful , and continue doll of sale without immediate prospects of impnnment .

      Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Nov . 12 . — The prevalence of easterly winds has caused few arrivals to this port during the past week , giving a small increase only to our previous supplies of Grain , Flour , and Oatmeal . The trade for the same period has not by any means been of an active character In the early part of the week a few parcel- of free Foreign Wheat were taken for shipment to Ireland and northwards , but the local dealers have bought very sparingly , and the business in that grain dm on the whole been of- moderate amount only , at about the rates of this day se ' nnight .

      Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , Nov . 22 . — Tkere has been a large number of Beasts at market today , but principally of inferior quality .
