      TO THE EDITOR OF THE HORTHMN STAR . SEX& Sir , —My name being appended to the Lovett « fid Collins ' s plan of organisation , -which appeared in the Star , on the 8 th inst , in justice to myself , I think proper to inform my brother Radlc&ls , * lhus publicly , under what circumstances I committed this error : — The plan was shown me by a friend while I » aj at labour , consequently , I had scarcely time to read it , far 1 mb to reflect upon it ; and being told that it was requested to be returned to Mr . Lovett , per post , and considering the names attached to it , I never for one Boarent considered that it was an error . But , Sir ,

      " To err u human , to forgive divine , " and I must say it was more an error ef ignorance than ¦ of motive . Seeing the plan is lauded by the Jtfornino ¦ Ckrotids , by Dan , and otherVof his kidney , I suspect all is not right Mr . Lovett was written to to remove tkj ntae . It might be too late , however . The publication of this will answer the purpose . 8 ir , —By causing this to appear in the Star , of Satur-¦ dtr , yon will oblige Tour brother , in the good cause of the people , ROBERT MPGATE .

      T ' THE EDITOR O ¥ THE 50 BTHERN STAR . Sir , — 1 beg that you will erase my name from the LoTett ind OConnell list , published in the Star , as BignatuTts to their address .

      BVJf » KETtAlffP . ^ On Sunday afternoon , Mr . Williams lectured si the Life Boat House , to a numerous audience . His subject wu the necessity of political reform , and the necessity of the Char tist over every other system of Governmental reform . " Mr . W . clearly established the necessity of a change , both from thi good which the Government might have d * * * ^ fia < ^ not don e , and from the evils and niseries it had entailed upon the people . Examined by any one of the tests which were applicable to it , he proved that the existing system was & compound of ignorance , force , and fraud , which ought no longer to be tolerated than was compatible with prudence and efficient means of

      permanent redress . Having established the necessity of a cbaDge , he nex ± proceeded to examine the kind and the extent of the reform required ; in the course of which , he reviewed the leading schemes which had been put forth by the middle class and sectional reformers . Education reform—tbe Dissenters ' reform—Church-rate repeal , and Church and State separation—Corn Law repeal—Household franchise , and Socialism , were briefly reviewed , and their comparative merits analysed ; the result of which was a clear and xinanimous conviction , that , without the Charter , no real benefit could be secured to the people , and with it , anything might be done which could conduce to their permanent welfare .

      Tbb New Movement . — -On Sunday evening , a meeting of the Chartists of Sunderland was held in the Co-operative Hall , to take into consideration the merits of the New National Association , and the conduct of Messrs . Lovett , Collins , and its projectors and supporters . Mr . Dobbie was called to the chair . Having briefly introduced the business , he called upon Mr . Williams to address the meeting . Mr . Williams , at the request of the meeting , then came forward , and carefully read to them the address of Lovett and Collins to the political and social reformers of Great Britain , and also the plan of the New National Association . Mr . Williams then minutely and temperately analysed the whole , proving that if the motives of the parties ware honest , they had displayed very bad taste in the manner

      by which they had sought to introduce their supposed amendments ; that , in fact , by proposing to establish a new Association , without first having proved the general incapacity or illegality of the old Association , they bad virtually and most unwarrantably insulted every one connected with that Association , whether as officers or members . It was not , therefore ( observed Mr . W . ) , to be expected that , by introducing the new Association through an insult to the old , they would be likely to gain the support of tbe latter . Mr . Williams stated it as bis conviction that both Lovett and Collins had exhibited the same faults in themselves that they were so perpetually censuring in others , namely , the spirii of leadership . He did not , he said , believe them capable of deliberate treachery to the cause , but

      considered that , partly through morbid dread of Mr . O'Connor ' s innaence , partly through the soothing system which had been applied to them by a section of pretended reformers , to whose tricking schemes Mr . O'Connor had offered the most uncompromising and unconquerable opposition , they had fallen from their former " high estate , " victims to pride , vanity , and an education mania . Mr . Williams moved the following resolution , which was seconded , aad carried unanimously : — 1 st . That we , the Chartists of Sunderland , have witnessed , with surprise and regret , a proposal , sanctioned by Messrs . Lovett , Collins , and others , to establish another National Charter Association ; with surprise , because we think that those gentlemen cannot be ignorant that such an attempt is at present

      uncalled for , no proof of incapacity or dishonesty having been preferred against the present Association ; for , admitting that the means suggested for obtaining the Charter may be distinct from , and superior to , those adopted by the present Association , we consider that courtesy , duty , and propriety required that the new views should first have been submitted to the members of tbe National Charter Association , and all proper means taken to induce tbe latter to adopt the said means . We regret that Messrs . Collins and Lovett , names which we have hitherto honoured , should have been found guilty o ! SDch conduct ; and , considering that those gentlemen endeavoured to form this Association not by a fair , open , and manly appeal to the people , but by secret means , they have given reason for suspecting

      the purity of their motives , and taken a step which must tend to alienate oar confidence and respect for them , unless they immediately and practically atone , by confessing their errors , and uniting themselves with the National Charter Association , the only Association which we can recognise as National , or entitled to the support and conhdenceof the people . " The following resolution was , without any remarks , moved by Mr . Binns , seconded by Mr . Kirker , and carried unanimously—2 nd . " That we , the Chartists of Sunder ] and , do hereby resolve to abide by the National Charter Association of Great Britain , because that Association has done more to

      disseminate the principles of the Charter , and bind together the scattered fragments of our power , than any previous Association ever did , or could do ; and , while willing to adopt any means by which its efficacy may be improved , we will discountenance all attempts to dissolve or weaken it by other and rival schemes . " Moved by Mr . Bond , seconded by Mr . Small , and carried unanimously : — " That the thanks of this meeting are hereby cordially given to the Editor of the Northern Star , tot the ability be has displayed in analysing the new project , and also for the excellent temper he ha * exhibited iu conducting the said exposure . " These resolutions are the answer of the Sunderland Chartists .

      Political and Social Rejobk . —On Monday evening , Sir . Buchanan , Social missionary , delivered a lecture in the Golden Lion room , upou the superiority of Socialism over every other system of reform , political or religions . Mr . B . displayed a thorough acquaintance with his subject , and was particularly able in exposing the inutility and insufficiency of Corn Law Repeal , but did not advance a single argument to show that the Charter agitation ought to be abandoned . At the close of the lecture , tbe andisnee were unexpectedly and greatly interested by a gentleman named Dnnn , connected , we believe ,

      with the metropolitan presB , who came forward and expressed his entire concurrence in the views of the lecturer , and stated that he had been connected with the Chartist , or Radical party , but owing to some difference between him and them , Vad been bitterly persecuted by them , even to the risk of his life . He went on in a somewhat wild and phrenzied manner respecting his sufferings , Mr . Buchatan having tried in vain to soothe him . Mr . Williams-also addressed him , but to little purpose . Had it not been the conviction of the audience that the poor fellow was the victim of some mental delusion , he would have been summarily ejected .

      BODWORTH ,-At the weekly meeting of the Dodworth Chartists , holden on Saturday , April 24 th , the following resolution was unanimously carried : " That we , the Chartists of Dodworth , denounce the new move of Lovett and Collins , aud all such milkand-water patriots , and we are resolved to stand by our champion , Feargus O'Connor , and the People ' s Executive Council at Manchester , aud will oppose all agitations ¦ which have for their object the division of the Chartists to the utmost of eur power . " GLASGOW . —An adjourned public aud delegate meeting was held iu the Chartist Church , on Monday evening , at eight o ' clock , Mr . James Walker , confectioner , in the chair . After some preliminary business had been gone through , Mr . Charles M'Gowan came forward to move an address

      to Mr . Collins , delegate from the old Emancipation Society of America , thanking him for the noblo manner he had advoeated the principle of universal freedom to the whole , human family . He sat down amid three distinct rounds of applause . Some discussion ensued , and the address was afterwards supported by Messrs . Colquhoun , Wilkie , Cnrrie , Pattison , and M'Isaac . when it was put and carried unanimously . It was then agreed to be presented to Mr . Collins at the great anti-slavery meeting , to be held in the Bazaar , on Tuesday Bight . After some discussion respecting the Petition Convention , it was agreed to send off an address to the Council in Manchester , requesting them to postpone the meeting of the Convention for a little longer , leaving them to name the day , and that the

      Star take up the matter , and endeavour to stir up those places which had not yet held meetings on the subject . Mr . Cullen then opened the discussion on the new movement , in a well arranged and powerfully effective speech . At its conclusion he saidlet it go forth from this meeting to the world—let it find its way to the gloomy dungeon—that the brave aud determined men of Glasgow will not allow themselves to be led istray from their purpose—that they will continue to demand the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Mr . Moir , in an able and severe style , then exposed the w new move . " I shall ( said Mr . Moir ) give no countenance to this new movement . ( Cries from all parts of the church " Tbe same h « re . " ) Wfrhave had too much of the learned people already . A man may be a very accomplished knave , while he is a very learned scoundrel . Mr . Moir concluded amid great cheering . —

      Mr . John Colquhoun cut up in a very severe manner the new movement men . He moved a motion on the subject , which was seconded by Mr . Wright . Mr . Moir also proposed a motion , which was seconded by Mr * . Q ullen . Mr . Moir , Mr . Pattisoo , and others spoke upon * £ he subject ; all of whom denounced the new movement as a complete new Utopian humbug , and must have very soon died a natural death . Mr . W . Thomson , Editor of the Circular , considered tnat eo far from the plan of Lovett carrying the Charter , it would require the Charter to carry it . He therefore moved , " That while we approve of Chartist schools , and other modes of information , the new movement plan is altogether impracticable and unworthy of our smallest consideration . " The previons motions were withdrawn , when Mr . Thomson ' s motion wa » carreu , with only three dissentient voices . The meeting broke up , after giving a voted thanks to the ChVtr ""' , at half-past 12 o ' clock .

West , from the Secretary of the Chartist Association in Dublin , stating . that the opposition of O'Connell has done more service to the cause , than ' if they had been agitating for three years . Many influential persons , who were merely spectators , having joined their ranks . A resolution of confidence in Mr . O'Connor was passed amidst the loudest acclamations . .

      BXRMXHGHAM .-Chab . t 18 t Meeting . —A meeting was held at tbe Chartist Meeting Room , Freeman-street , on Monday evening last . Upwards of one hundred cards of the National Charter Association have been distributed since the CbartiBts took the room at Freeman-street , and hundreds have signified their intention of joining the Association . Sectional meetings are held in various parts of the town , and several who had formerly taken an active part are again at their poets . At eight o ' clock , Mr . Ni 8 bett was called to the chair , and stated that the business of the meeting was , in the first place , to hear an address from Mr . White ; in the next to elect four members for the Council ; and also to consider the proposition put forth by

      their friend , Feargus O'Connor , in thei Star of Saturday last . As there was so much business to transact , he would not further trespass on their time , but introduce Mr . White . Mr . Geo . White addressed the meeting for about half an hour , in the course of which he shewed up the humbug of the " new move ; " and concluded by exhorting . all present to rally round the National Charter Association . The four fallowing persons were chosen . to fill the vacancies in the Council : namely , Heifers . Harper , N : sbett , Creswell , and Hopkins . 'Mr . Harper , after reading that part of Mr . O'Connor ' s letter , which requested the country to decide between the n&w and old lists , and making some olever remarks on their relative merits , moved the following resoiution : — " That the listx > f names submitted by Feargus O'Connor , Esq . are worthy , and do

      possess the confidence of this meeting ; and we take this opportunity of Expressing our disapprobation of the authors of the ' secret move , ' and regret that sq many good men should have been duped by their machinations . We are ' also determined to abide by the National Charter Association , believing it to be calculated to procure for the people their just rights . " Mrs . Lap worth , late president of the Birmingham Female Political Union , seconded the resolution . Tbe resolution was carried unanimously . Mr . T . P . Green , Mr . Williamson , and others , addressed the meeting in a manly and energetic manner . The greatest harmony prevailed . Three loud and hearty cheers ware given for Feargus O'Connor and the Northern Star , and the meeting separated . One very pleasing feature in tbe Birmingham meetings is , that tbe females move and second resolutions , and take as active a part as the men .

      FROM OVK LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Wednesday Evening , Aprilr 27 ' . Thb Ministry . —Ever since the defeat of the Ministry on Monday evening upon Lord Howick ' e amendment , the members of the Administration have held frequent meetings . Yesterday , a Counoil was held , at which all the Cabinet Ministers attended , and which lasted for three hours . To-day , also , a Council was held ; and the result of the Nottingham election , coupled with the defeat on Monday night , will , it is thought , induce the Ministers to get through the Budget" as swiftly aa possible , and then dissolve the Parliament .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS , Tuesday , April 27 . Notice was given by Mr . Easthopjs that he would move , on the 11 th of May , for leave to bring in a Bill for the Abolition of Church-rates . Mr . Freshfield meved for the appointment of a Select Committee , t » inquire into the comparative advantages of the southern ports of England , as points from whence to despatch the West India mails . The Hon . Gentleman contended that ne port offered such extensive advantages as Falmouth , from whence , however , the packets had been withdrawn in order to be transferred to Dartmouth , from motives of private and local interest The public had a right , when an inferior port was selected , to have an inquiry instituted with a view to ascertain which was really the port best suited , or what might be the reasons for selecting that which was manifestly least suited » for the purpose . Sir Charles Lemon seconded tbe motion .

      Mr . F . H . Berkeley contended that Bristol was the best port for the purpose , particularly if the mails were to be conveyed by steam-vessels . The Chancellor of the Exchequer B&id that the Government had been solely actuated by the desire of consulting the true interest * of the public . They had np power to compel the company , who had taken the contract , to make any port their station—they could only decide upon the place at which the mails were to be taken up , and they had , accordingly , decided upon Dartmouth . Sir H . Vivian was of opinion that Falmouth was the preferable port from whence to send the mails , inasmuch as it was fifty-six miles nearer to the West Indies than Dartmouth . Mr . O'Connell contended , that the beet ports would have been Valentia , Cork , or Bearhaven , in the south of Ireland , from whence a steamer would take only seven or eight days to go to Halifax .

      After some further discussion , the motion of Mr . Freshfield was carried , by a majority of 54 against 50 . The Solicitor-General moved the appointment of a Committee to consider the expediency of erecting a building Iu the neighbourhood of the inns of court , for the sittings of the courts of law and equity , in lieu of the present courts adjoining to Westminster Hall , with a view to the more speedy , convenient , and effectua administration of justice . Sir E . Wilmox seconded the motion , which was agreed to . . , v . ¦' ..- ' . ¦ •;¦ ' . ¦/ . ¦ ¦ , \ ¦ ' '

      SEIOSTTOW *—On Monday evening last ; there was a ticket" meeting at the Old Ship" JR ooms , far the purpose of exposing the errors of Popery , and of forming an Association , to be called "The Brighton Protestant Association . " Much of the usual nauaeaous slang of the Protestant Church of England parsonooraoy was vented on the occasion , but all seemed useless , ' the quiet people of Brighton not seeing much difference between the errors of the Romas Catholics and the robberies of the plundering priesthood of the Established Churatu After a long , duU , ( and to a majority of those present ) incomprehensible lecture , for it was a lecture to wbioh we were drawn , the speaker concluded by venting his spleen against what he « alled , tne errors

      of Popery , and sat down amid mingled cheering aaa disapprobation . Mr . Woodward { who , witfc other ChartiBts , had , by some friendly liand in the enemy ' s camp , obtained a ticket ) requested an answer to a few questions he wished to pnt to the lecturer . The lecturer stated , he was in the hands of the Chairman . Mr . Woodward contended there was no Chairman , none haying been proposed . Hereupon the personcaUing himself Chairman , but who had usurped that office to himself , without even asking the consent of the meeting , and who calls himself Gen ; Marshall , said he could not consistently allow the gentleman ( Mr .. W . ) to ask any questiona . Mr . Woodward then commenced an address to the ladies and gentlemen , but it being found out he was a Chartist , such

      was the dismay , the horror , at the word Chartist , that many of the old ladies wished themselves away from the meeting ; and if we mistake not , many would have retired sooner if they could consistently with decorum , particularly those who wore the breeches , which we think would want a good scouring by the time they got home . However ; such was the state of the meeting , that many fainted away , for what we cannot devise ; we saw one fellow seize hold of Mr . W . by the collar , but the sternness with which he looked on his cowardly assailant , and the firmness of his language , telling the moral-force miscreant that if he did net leave go , and that immediately , he would shew him some Chartist ' s physical force , frightened him . ' At the mention of

      physical force , a sudden uproar ensued ; chairs , forms , and tables , topsy-turvy , the old women flying en masse . The Gallant General sounded an immediate retreat . Away they went , helter skelter , leaving Mr . Woodward and the little but firm and united phalanx , sole masters of the field of battle ; but they were not destined to remain so , much longer , the Gallant General bringing up his-reserve , in tbe persons of the chief officer of police , a superintendent , aud a posse of the " blue devils . " The Chartists finding , under the circumstances , it would be useless any longer to hold out , made good their retreat in a quiet , unopposed , and orderly-manner , leaving the" blue-bottles" possessors of the field . Thas ended this memorable Protestant meeting ^

      STOCKTON-ON-TEES . —An attempt has been made here to levy a rate upon the inhabitants for the building of a wall round the Church-yard , which the town resisted , and left the ohurch people to build themselves . HONXEY . —The Corn Law League placarded the towa and neighbourhood of Honley , with large bills sailing a Corn Law Demonstration and tea SbTt y , to be held in the Independent School Boom , onley Moor Bottom ; tea to be on the table at five o ' clock precisely . Tickets to be had at Benjamin Ledger Shaw ' s , Benjamin Viokerman ' s , John Littlewood ' s , and several other manufacturers , at la . males , 6 d . females . There were very few applications , or purchasers at the above price . The League

      bemg afraid of a slender meeting , sent their servants out in the afternoon of the same day , to distribute them gratis , in order to get an audience . Some persons asked , if they would allow discussion ? No , was the reply , and they even said a Chartist Ehould not have a ticket at any price . The band was solicited to attend , to play at intervals for them , and when assembled , would &ot admit them in without paying threepence each , therefore they returned back from the place . The next day the League reflected upon what they had done , begged pardon , and presented them with 53 . to say no more about it . GATESHEAD . —Serious Accident .

      —Caution to Children . —On Thursday , the 22 nd inst ., at Ay ton Banks , near Gateshead , Durham , a boy named Henry Forster , ten years of age , came out of his father ' s house ( who lives near the Ouston incline engine ) just at tbe time the waggons we ' re being drawn up , when the little fellow incautiously laid himself across the rope , and before he had time to think of his perilous Bituaiion , he was taken in and lapped round the drum of the engine ; the first coil went round his arm , the next two his body , and he was killed in a moment ; the engine was reversed , his lifeless body taken out , put into a sack and borne to his disconsolate parents . :

      OLDHAM . —On Monday evening , the 26 th inst ., the members of the Greenaores Moor . Choral Society , gave their first public concert in Providence Chapel , Regent-street , Oldham , which was well attended ; the solos were well executed by Mrs . Halliwell , Messrs . Holden , Winter , Cotton , and Mellor the choruses were performed in a most judicious manner , by about eighty performers , under the direction of Mr . Winter bottom . .. Leader of the band , Mr .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . Sir R . Iaglis presented thirty petitions , praying for church extension ; and Mr . R . Currik presented fourteen , praying for the abolition of the Eo- < clesiastioal Courts . Lord Morpeth announced his intention of prorosing an alteration in the Registration of Voters Ireland ) Bill , the effect of which would be to augment the qualification of electors from £ 5 to £ 8 in counties . Mr . O'Connell expressed great disapprobation at the proposed change . Lord J . Russell said he would move that orders of the day shouldhave precedence of notices of motions on Thursdays after the 1 st of June .

      Mr . Grots moved a series of resolutions in reference to the land fund and finances of New South Wales , and contended that reparation ought to be made to the colony for the abstractions which had taken place from the emigration fund , and that the mother country ought to defray at least one-half of the expences of gaols aud police . The Chancellor of the Exchequer said that many years back , when the Earl of Ripon was at the head of the colonial department , an intimation was giverf to the colony that it must be prepared to take upon itself the expenee of the convict establishment . Mr . C . Bi'LLER thought the expenee of gaols and police ought not to be thrown on the colony .

      Lord Mahon supported the motion , being fully of oplnionr that aetoeng prima faeie ewe was made out in favour of New South ' Wales . : . Lord J . Russell said that complaints similar to the present were constantly made from all our . colonies , and were supported very frequently by very strong reasoning , but he had no hesitation in saying , that of all our colonies , the one which had been subjected to least grievance , the one which had received most favour from , and which had reaped most advantage from the mother country , was New South Wales ; and this to such an extent that other colonies continually complained that an undue proportion of favour was shown by this country to New South Wales .

      Sir W . Molesworth said that inthe case of an ordinary ^ colony the expense of gaols and police should be borne by the colony itself ; but t New South Wales was an exception to the general rule . ¦ Sir R . Peel said that if the colony of New South Wales had a claim of £ 50 , 000 a year on this country , the very last thing to which he would wish to appropriate the re-payment of that sum would be to gaols and police . Mr . Ward contended that the lands which had been sold would never have been purchased had it not been for the impression that the purchase money would have been laid out in the importation of free labour .

      Sir R . Inglis said the duties of a nation should be the measure of its expenditure , and if if-contracted a liability it should raise the means to meet it . Sir C . Grey opposed the motion . - . Mr . Hume could not see any reason whatever why the people of England should be taxed to maintain gaols and police in New South Wales . * - Mr . Grotb , in reply , said that the convicia ^ conferred a benefit on the colony only by benefitting the masters to whom they were assigned , from which masters the Government shoald exact

      the benefit of their labour without flinging the burden on the whole of the inhabitants of New South Wales . ¦ ¦; ' ¦ ¦ .. ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ . - . - . ¦ ¦¦ / ,., - . - . - ¦ " The House then divided , and tbe previous question was carried by a majority of 52 to 8 . On the motion of Mr . Fox Maule , the Factories * Bill was read a second tune , on the understanding that the debate on the piinciple should take place on going into Committee . . ( V The other orders of the day were thek disposed . of and the House adjourned .
