      TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED QUEENDOM . " Whatever ye would that men should do unto you , do ye even so to them , for this is the law and the prophets . " Hull , May 18 , 1811 . Fellow-Countivxmen , —No words are ol more frequent use , or more disregarded in practice by those who affect to be religious " and respectab' . e , " than those which I have placed before you as the motto of this brief address . They are admired for their beauty , extolled for their correctness , pointed at as the summttm bonum of morality , and then thrown by as worthy of no practical attention , because a compliance with their requirements -would be inconvenient and troublesome to the elastic consciences of those who pretend to revere them . Hence , when ii minister of the gospel ventures out of the ordinary track of public instruction , and in the spirit of the great Saviour inculcates tke bearing of such a precept npon the state and condition of social and politit&l society , he is sure to be met by a torrent of invective and abuse , and to have his name cast out as evil by the advocates of thiDgs as they are , and which they in their blasphemous presumption declare to exist by the grace and providence of Almighty God . No one can doubt , however , who really believes the word of Gud , that one of the most essential duties of the Christian character , is the promotion of the peace , tho happiness , of all classes and all individuals of the human family ; and he who fails to carry out this principle , let his religious professions be what they may , is nothing better than an infidel , and is in fact a living , walking , lie . These observations have been called forth by tbe recent exertions made to impede the cause of truth aud righteousness by the Rwv . John Scott , a tory parson , and Mr . R . Firth , a whig school master , in this town . You trill recollect tbat a notice appeared in tho Star a few weeks back , stating that Mr . Firth had declared the principles ef the Ciiarter to be contrary to tbe Scriptures and the doctrines of the New Church , and that , in consequence of such declaration , Mr . T . B . Smith would , deliver a lecture , in which lie would prove the perfect accordance of their principles with the Word of God and with the articles of faith . Mr . Hill's church at Hull , of which I am a member , and of which Mr . F . sought to become a member , had solemnly declared , by a resolution , that the principles of the People's Charter were in accordance with the Word of God ; and Mr . Hill had ou several occasions enforced the demands of political justice in his pulpit discourses . This it was which incited the opposition of Mr . Firth , who declared before the ¦ whole church , that when be again became a mombcr ( his name had some months previously been removed from tbe church roll at his own request , he a > signing no reason to thu church for his withdrawal ) he would maVe Mr . Hill account for the manner in which he had introduced politics into the pulpit . I , as the mover of the resolution , determined to meet him , and invited him to state his objections at the close of ruy announced lectnre . To my letter , Mr . Firth , with that urbanity and courtesy for which he is so distinguished , failed to reply , and 1 , as you would learn from my uhort address to the " Lovers of Fair Play , " published on the 8 th instant , from certain kindiy consideratiens as to his excited feelicgs jn case he should be rejected by tho church , which turned out to be the can ; , postponed the lecture for a fortnight . In the mean time , Mr . Firih , smarting under tho castigation 1 and othtrs had inflicted on him , and seeing that his " little beat to put down Ciiartism" w . is " no go , " after putting the friends of freedom at Hull to nearly £ 2 txpences , and depriving the families of the victims of at least £ 5 , has sought to CFcape frem further hastisement , by the magnificent present of a sovereign , and the permission to hold a ball in the lodge , provided it be conducted on teetotal principles . In this . Mr . Firth displays what he no doubt considers a rare piece of statesmanlike policy ; the manoeuvre , however , shall not serve his turn . He know that the projected bull , which he prevented , was to be conducted by teetotallers , on teetotal principles , and he objected to it on the ground « f its immorality ; he at the game time receiving emoluments in the shape of rent weekly for the rooms being used as a school for the teaching of dancing ! I think 1 hear you exclaim , with virtuous indignation , " Confound the hypocrite I but what better could be expected from a middle-class Whig' ! " Well , the lecture was postponed to May 17 th , and on the previous Saturday , placards announcing it appeared on the walls . I was obiiged to leave Hull on Saturday , and on my return on Sunday night I was informed that the Tier . J . Scott , to whom the Msisons' Arms belongs , had forbidden the landlord to let us have the room , and the obsequious publican obeyed the orders of the clerical sinner , and forbid the lecture . I do not know that Mr . F . and Mr . S . had laid their heads together , but I think it possible that in some way the former had operated upon the latter . I am induced to do 60 from the following facts : — First—Mr . Scott has smarted under the lash which his intolerance has caused me pretty liberally to apply to him in by-gorie days . Second—Mr . Firth hates me on account of the independence which 1 have shown on all occasions in the Temperance Society and in the Church . Third—John Wado , Esq ., President of the Hull Temperance Society , is s . iid , by Mr . Firth , to have the greatest objection to Mr . T . B . Smith on account of his politics ; the said John Wade , Esq ., being half Whig , half Tory , and a high Churchman into tho bargain . Fourth—Mr . Scott has recently become a tempsrance man , and would , no doubt , be ready to return the kindness of Mr . Firth who stood by him and bis fellow bigots , and rendered them all the aid in his power , ( God knows tbat is not much , ) in their insane crusade against the recently established Hull Spring Fair . I put these facts together , and 1 think it just possible that us Mr . Firth did not dare to meet mo , he would operate upon his friend the president , who would communicate the sympathetic feeling to the parson , who , in his turn , would consent to operate upon the publican , who like an obsequious slave buwed to his high behest and prevented the delivery of the lecture . I don't assert this to be the case , bat it at all events looks very like it . And now I ask you , my honest-hearted friends , will you allow the Tory parson , and the Whig preceptor to beat us , and to injure the fund for tbo families of the victims ? I ask you to add me and wo will make this a powerful weapon against the foes of right THE LECTURE SHALL BE PUBLISHED , and some supplementary matter along with it , and EVERY " PENNY OF PROFIT SHALL BE PAID TO THE REV . WILLIAM HILL , TO BE CARRIED OVER TO THE VICTIM FUND . I will not take a fraction for my trouble , only fifty copies for gratuitous circulation . And if you will make an exertion we may make much good come out of evil . The pr ; c « of the pamphlet will be sixpence , and it shall bo published , if pessible , on the fiist of July . Now let every lover of right and justice , save but one penny per week , for six wetks , aijd you will make the heart of many a distressed one glad . You will cheer many a victim in his dungeon , and you will show yourselves wortby of the rights you claim . Let every agent for the Star receive orders immediately , and let the number of copies wanted , be Bent to the editor , on or before the loth of June , that I may know what number to print Soliciting most respectfully your aid , and the sanction and approval of Mr . O Connor and Mr . Hill , to this undertaking , I am , yours respectfully , T . B . Smith . Hull , May 18 th , 1841 . P . S . Mr . Firth , finding his popularity on the wane , is now moving heaven and earth to get into favour with the Chartists , and the Catholic Temperance Society of Hull . On the latter inanojuvre , the time is not yet come for me to tell what I know , but as far as the Chartists are concerned , I believe him to be only a Whig spy in the camp , who will , by means of his old friend the President , send all the information he can pick up , as to the movements of the council , to their opponents . * At all events , he was no friend to the Chartist cause , & short time since , as his conduct nf irreu to in the above letter proves . But I haro a few other facts , to which I request the particular attention of those whom he is now , as 1 believe , seeking to cajole and betray . I had to attend a meeting at Mr . Ptx ' . on ' s , in Blanket-row , at which Mr . Firth , Mr Pexton , Mr . Firbv , myself , and one or two more were present , on the night when the news of the Newport disturbances reached Hull . Mr . Firth raved Ute a madman , declared Frost to be the most execrable villain in existence , and said that he f-rvently ad sincerely hoped that the jury would convict , and that if they did so , lie trusted that the full eentsnee of tho few of treason would be executed

      by the Government , and that he would be hanged , drawn , and quartered , as a tenor to other * . He further stated that no good and virtuous man ever took op arm * against tbe Government of his country , and , on ft subsequent occasion , in the Temperance Hotel , be tried to prove that when a BLU had received the Royal signature , it was as binding upon the conscience of ft Christian man as the law of the ten commandments . I shall never forget the feelings which the brutal wishes respecting the Welsh patriots excited in my mind , and the impression was deepened by the following ludicrous circumstances : —Firby , after Mr . Firth ' s atttention had been for some time turned to other matters , asked him . ia his quiet way , whether he had ever read the life of John Hampden , and what his opinion was about him . Firth replied that he had , and tbat he was , beyond doubt , one of the greatest of patriots , and that his memory ought to be revered by all . Firby drily remarked , I should not hare thought yon would think so highly of him . Why ao , " said Firth , quickly . " Why , " replied Firby , " you said not half an hour since that no good man ever took up arms against the government , and John Hampden did so , and commenced a rebellion , which brought the King to the block . But I see how it is , he was a traitor ia his own day , but he is a patriot now ; and If you live three hundred years hence , you will find eut that the villain John Frost was one of the best men that ever lived 1 " The Teetotal Captain' was dumbfounded at thus finding himself in the trap . He rose from his seat , stammered something about the Government ) of Charles being oppressive , but that of ; Victoria being Christian and patriotic , and bolted , while we enjoyed a hearty laugh at his expence . I have no doubt that he and his friends will find it convenient to have had memories , but I tell them that I have a good one , especially on such subjects , and am ready to make oath to the truth of the statement before any bench of magistrates before which Mr . Firth may choose to require me to do bo . I make ne comment on this case . Mr . Firth has a right to wish for the humane and Christian practices of barbarous ages being revived , and the public have a right to form their own judgment upon such superabundant proofs of attachment to liberty .

      ChkJIBRATi COIOSXTTEE POB £ T 7 P £ S 15 TSKDI 5 O THE lUXIOXAL PETITIO * . SATUBDAY , Mat 22 . Mr . Sham :, in the chair . The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed . Letters were read from various places respecting the petitions and their number of signatures . . ¦ A letter was read by Mr . Srermgten , from T . Fletcher , respecting the Notttegnam election , and tlie « OYes of the Whigs , who , it was said , were trying to wheedle the Chartist party over to their purposes . A second letter was also read from William Bilbie , of the Bame pl * ce , asfcing the following questions : — ___ _ . L Would joa rote Whig or Tory ! ¦

      2 If Sir John Hobhoase and Mr . Larpent were to pledge themselves to Tote for the return of Frost , Williams and Jones , within twelve months ; and Mr . Walters and Ro worth , both Tories , would not have anything to do with the matter , and would not interfere at ail i * which wonld you rote for ! 3 . Would you rote for Hobhouse and Larpent if they were pledged to use their influence with the Government , not to persecute the Chartists , so long & 3 they did not threaten to carry the Charter by physical force , while the Tories Bay they would send the Chartists to the devil , and farther , if possible , send the Convention to the shades below , within six months of their being raised to power , if they attempted to sit for the purpose of getting back Frost and his companions ? D . M'Douill read the following from M . O'Connor , which wa 3 listened to with the deepest attention by the committee and strangers .

      TO THE PEOPLE'S REPRESENTATITE 3 IN CONVENTION ASSEMBLED . York Castle , May 21 , 1841 . Gektlesek , —Emboldened by your appeal to jour constituents , and having the honour , as a prisoner , to be one , I address you . Never in the whole course of my life have I been so delighted as by the perusal of your proceedings I always said that the errors of the old Convention would ever act as beacons for any succeeding one . But to tha point . I find that yon have resolved yourselves into a committee—an army of observation xo watch the enemy . Had the Whigs dissolved , I think your presence in London would have been superfluous ; but as the enemy is still in front . I

      hold this your dissolution wonld hare been a triumph to them , and almost an insult to the country In my opinion , you bare adopted the wise coarse . I have had letters , which I preferred not replying to , from individuals , although complimentary to myself , highly creditable to you , and honourable to the members who did ms the honour to write . I have written to the Executive for instructions how to act as joint-treasurer of both funds— £ 60 for jour use , and balance for their use , but not having received any decisive answer further than properly allowing the country to decide , I beg to remk to your nse the whole of the balance , ad interim , thinking it unfair to hold it till the decision would render it s recei pt useless .

      Should the country decide against the step I have taken , 1 will refund it for its original use ; and if I now had enough , 1 would pay you all £ 5 a week each , to continue your noble exertions . I am rejoiced you have left me to fight my own battles , but I cannot avoid receiving the communications relative to my treasurership , which I learn have been sent to you , aad a full reply to which you ¦ will see in Saturday's Slar . The person who has sent those communications has been a working man , but ceased , from time to time , and is now sore that the people will not supply the means of idleness ; yon , however , will have the goodness to remit a receipt through your treasurer , for the £ 20 now sent , making £ 80 , with the £ 60 previously sent to yoar

      former treasurer . I remit this sum through my agent , Mr . Cleave , between whom and yourself I rejoice to find the most cordial understandingsubsists ; a man , I believe in every way most worthy of public confidence , and entitled to public support . ¦ Gentlemen , I have also directed the sun of £ 1 to be paid in aid of your forth coming meeting ; pray get the very largest room . I knaw a persou who will qualify Dr . M'Dou&lL By God you are shaking their ' old bones in great sivle ; stick to them , an 3 present your memorial in person , and get 20 , 000 if you can to accempany your peiition to Mr . Duncomte . I rejoice to find a good understanding creating between yon and Mr . C . Bulkr ; believe me that he is the most democratic man in the House of Commons , as well as the most talented aad brave , always excepticg our old friend , Mr . Thomas Duneonibe . My opinion is , that you should remain

      in London as long as the enemy is in front , and 1 make ne doubt but the country will cheerfully sup"portyou . Gentlemen , before " I close , allow , me to suggest the importance of selecting four of the most eloquent of cur body to oppose Lord Russell a ; Stroud , Lord Palmerston s : TiTerio-i , the Attorney - General at Edinburgh , and above all , Fox'Mauie at Cricif . Mr . Cullum m * y su ^ es * . two for the "What Fay you to Tin ; ei > t for Scroud ,- and Dr . M'Douall for Tiverton , or Northampton , or Halifax , ¦ where he woaM make a tremendous impression ! Have at least 300 good men there as the balance of power . You mnsi choose eloquent men , and determined men , cot afraid of physical forw . But you will think of i ; again . Congratulating the country npon the success of my first a-: t of , and rijaicing ¦ that you nave given such unmeasured and ovsr > flowing satisfaction re , your friends , and such a taste cf your power to your enemies .

      I am , your faithful friend , Feaegcs O'Cosxoa . P . S . —The trick of not receiving deputation * upon the subject of criminals is paltry . I have , upon many occasions , attended deputations , aad had lorig discussions about the Dorchester L ' tbourers and other prisoners , whoso s-eatecce 3 I have had commuted . B . at then I was only a Radical not a Chartist , they suppose ; and , gentleman , observe , this even afier I cea = ed to be an M . P . The tyrant should have said there was an eieep ' -ion to Political offenders . One

      word more ; I find by the Times , that I had a petitition from myself inserted praying the House to liberate me . This is an error . I have not sent any petition since the batch last met , not one , nor ¦ written to mortal to say a word for me , I think it would be highly necessary to direct public attention , to the rscent judgment of Lord Abin ^ er , relative to the liability of candidates toelection expenses , in the ease of the Retirrning-officer of Birmingham , Starves r . Mcntz . He decided that no candidate ¦ was liable to any expenses who did not go to a poll , I contend for the same at the election at Manchester , on behalf of O'Brien . F . O'C .

      Mr . Rose Eaid that he had an interview with Mr . Hawes , who told him that he was asked at a public meecting if he was a Chartist . Mr . Hawes expressed graa-t anxiety to know if the communications between him and the convention had been . published . ( Hear . ) He ( Mr . Rose ) was afraid that he was about turning his coat . Mr . Hawes eaid that they ¦ would never obtain their object by irtimWation , as the Government , who vrzs favotirable to then , would not accede to their prayers if it were supposed that they did so from intimidation , He did not see how he could assist them . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Rose then alluded to General Evans and Mr . Humphrey ' s conduct , and told Mr . Hawes that he was inclined

      to tflink that he wonld have a poor chance at th « next election , if he desened the people . Mr . Halves replied u I musi take my luck , for I am getting tired of these things . " ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . " Rose observed to htm , how miserably situated the working classes were . Mr . Hawes replied - that they coald get plenty of work abroad . ( Oh , oh . J 2 J . T . Rose concluded by tellitg Mr . Hawes that it -vva 3 a sad thing that a man could not obtain hi 3 livelihood in his own native land—but what he could do , and will b-3 enabkd to do , as soon as they got rid cf the bad laws that harassed them . ( Hear . ) At the next election , they wonld endeavocr to devise means by which they would be enabled to effect so desirable an object . ( Hear . ) Chairman—Well done , Whigs . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . MiTiin wished it to be understood trial hii allusions on a previous day to the cruel treatment of Brontcrre O'LJrieu , had no reference to the Governor of Lancaster gaol , who was a most humane man , bat to the despotic Government who placed Mr . O'Brien in that gaol . He ( Mr . M . ) had been most kindly treated by tha governor . This explanation lie mads lest his remarks which appeared in the Northern Star might be misunders : ood . Upon the motiuu of Dr . M'Douall , the &cretarj was directed to enclose to Mr . John C ; eave , the twe resoluti&as appointing him Treasurer to the General Committee . Mr . Ridley enquired if the Committee had prepared the document respecting the number , situation , and term of confinement of the prisoners . Dr . M'Das&ll—There is a printed return . Chairffian—They ou ^ ht to attend to that . Thej ¦ were in honour bound to supply that document tc Mr . Duncomke .

      Mr . Martin—Peler Foden ' s name is omitted ic that list . Ke was sentenced to twenty months in Wake £ ? ld , and also to solitary confinement . ( Hear , hear . ) ' Dr . il'Douall—Individual cases of hardship should be specified . Mr . Ridley—The document can be prepared on Monday . The Chairman—Ofc i oh ! no , no ; a moment should not be lost in preparing it . ( Hear , hear . ) They ought to set about is immediately . Mr . Williams * a ? d his eanstitaents wrote him , expressing a strong wKn to be furnished with a list of the divisions daring the session . ( Hear , hear . )

      Dr . M'Douall said it was their duty to set the public right regarding their position with the deputation . They should 03 also anxious to remove the opinion ( if such , existed ) of the Birmingham Committee that a division existed between th 9 Committee aad the depaiariao . ( He&r , hear . ) He therefore mOTed—** That white the Convection regretted the separation gf the Frost , Williams , and Jones depntoficn , by direction of tbo BizBtiocbui Frost Coin *

      mittee , who appointed them , from the Convention , they still proffer their services'to forward the objects which the deputation had in view . " Mr . Martin seconded that motion , and expressed a regret that any private communication had been carried on between the members of the deputation and the Birmingham Frost Committee . He , however , trusted that all would push forward with unanimity , and look to nothing but the great cause of humanity , in which they were embarked . ( Hear , hear . ) He took that opportunity of stating that he would press that day the resolution of which previous notice had been given , directing the Secretary to write to the Marquis of Normanby to ascertain when

      he wonld be ready to receive a deputation from their body . ( Hear , hear . ) If he refused to receive the deputation , then they should adopt other methods of attaining their object . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Cullen moved as an amendment that the members of tbe Petition Committee are satisfied that every effort was made by the Birmingham Frost deputation , and the members of the Committee , to present the memorials to her Majesty , and discharge all their other duties ; and that their want of success in obtaining an interview with her Majesty did not arise from the want cf exertion on the part of the deputation , or of the Convention . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Barmby most heartily seconded the amendment . There was no clashing between it and the original motion . Indeed , the amendment ought to be a substantive motion . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Ridley—There was only a partial separation on the part of the Birmingham deputation ; although two seceded , he was inclined to think that they were still with them . Mr . Cullen never parted from the body , ( Hear , hear . ) He hoped that no man would be for a moment so foolish as to suppose that there was a division amongst them . ( Hear , hear . ) Dr . M'Douall approved so highly of the amendment , that he withdrew his motion to come iu the form of a resolution . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Cullen ' s motion was then put , and carried nem . con .

      Chairman—I am delighted at the course pursued , for I am sure that no man could have departed from the amendment . ( Hear , hear . ) Dr . M'DoualTs original motion was then put and also carried . The Chairman—Nothing could be so good or satisfactory , as to have a plaiu understanding between the two committees . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Martin—The were all bound to acknowledge ths services of Mr . Cullen . He hoped sincerely that he should remain until iheD . ( Hear , hear . ) He , therefore , moved a vote of thanks to Mr . Cullen , of Glasgow , with an expression of hope that he would continue with them so loDg a 3 they were a Convention . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Cullen was always anxious to co-operate with the Convention in every act calculated to forward their great and grand objects , — ( hear , hear , )—but he most respectfully begged that they would not confer upon him so signal a mark of their favour for merely having done his duty . Dr . M'Douall . seconded the motion . The Chairman expressed his deep regret for the hasty conclusion to which the Birmingham Frost Committee had come . There couii be . however , but one opinion regarding the conduct of Mr . Cullen . ( Hear , hear . ) He most cheerfully proposed tho resolution . The resolution having been carried with every mark of esteem for Mr . Cuilen , that gentleman again said , that it was a mark of attention to which he bad no right .

      Mr . Martin moved , and Mr . Rose seconded , that a copy of the above resolution be forwarded to Mr . Cullsn ' s constiments , at Glasgow . —Carried . Mr . Callen made a vain tfi \» rt to prevent that resolution being carried . He was proud in being the associate of men who wero superior to the temptations of filthy lucre , and who only had in > iew their country ' s good , which was dearest to "their hearts , and for which they would even face death . ( Hear , hear . ) He was proud to say of his constituents that they were ready to give to the Convention every support in ; heir power . He was in justice compelled to acknowledge the immense asMstauce he received from Mr . Morgan Williams , whoso services were as indefatigable as they were sincere in the cause . ( Hear , hear . ) ilr . Jlor ^ aa Wuiiams wished to give an explanation for tho cou'ss which he pursued .

      The Cha rman inquired if it was the wish of the committee that Mr . Williams be heard . Mr . Barmby moved that Mr . Williams be allowed to give tha explanation , which was seconded by Air SiievLnjiton , and carried . Mr . Williams assured the committee that he did not refuse taking an active part in the proceeding of the committee , from the slightest disrespect to a single member cf that bo > iy . He highly respected them as men fully capable lor the work they had undertaken , and offuluiling tr , e objects of their mission . ( Hear , hear . ) His reason ior cot joining the committee was , because he deemed himself the servant of the Birmingham committee , who bad deputed him to discharge a certain auu specific duty . ( Hear , heaT . ) When tbe lime allotted to him ior discharging that duty had transpired , he considered he could not any longer take a part , in the proceedings , wi ; h-

      out beiny appointed by the committee so to do . ( Hear , hear . ) His position was quite different from that of Mr . Cullen , who had been c . ected by the men of Glasgow to sit in the Convention . ( Cheers . ) Ho had been only elected to prcs-rut the memorials to her . NJajesty . He attended the full time that he was directed to remain . Although lie took no part iu the discussion of the commiuee , jet he approved of every thing that they had said or coue . He was also satisfied that the prisoners were equally well pleased with the committee . ( Hear , hear . ) He was ready to obey any further call that mi ^ ht be mad e upon him by his country . If he had authority so to do he would most willingly co-operate with the committee , but in the absence of such order ho bad no other alternative than that of waiting further instructions from the Birmingham committee . He again repeated his respect for , and his confidence in , the general committee . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Callen bore testimony to the exertions of Mr . Williams who was late and early at his post , and did all in his power to have the memorials presented . His whole conduct was characterised by aa independence worthy of the cause . ( Hear , hcar . ) He was of opinion that " Mr . Williams wa 3 perfectly jaslifiable in the course which he pursued . Mr . Rose testified Mr . William ' s indefatigable exertions to obtain the objects of the Convention , and to ¦ creieat xho memorials .

      The Chairman—My opinion is , that so far from considering it a favour , they should demand the release of tha prisoners as a matter of right . ( 1 iear , hear . ) I would not accept it as a favour ; 1 demand it a 3 a right . Favour indeed ! shall it be called a favour to do justice ! Oh , no , na 1 ( Hear , near . ) A deputation consisting of Messrs . Barmby , Cal-) en , aud Dr . M'Douall was appointed to draw from Mr . John Cleave , their treasurer , the amount of Mr . O'Connor ' s order .

      Mr . Smart said that it was he , and not Mr . SkoviDgton , as reported in the Star , wh- » read the letter froni Northampton , asking Dr . M'Douall to stand as candidate at- the next election , and that it was he who made the observations on that letter , which observations were , in the Star of last week , also attributed to Mr . Skevingtou . He likewise wished that his exact words respecting the Members of his county should be correctly reported . The Slar stated that he had said , "That he knew it would be useless to call upon the Members who represented him ; " whereas he said , " That he knew that it would be useless to call upon the Members who represented Leicester . " Mr . Smart—It was upvn the Members for Derby that he ( Mr . S . ) waited , and not upon those of his county . After some farther business , the Convention adjourned .

      It may be well to correct a clerical error in the Star of Ia 3 t Saturday . It was to Mr . Balls , and not to Mr . Bites , to whom , in company with Mr . Parker , a vote of thanks was passed for having accommodated the delegates with tbe room for holding their meetings . Saturday Evening . In the evening the delegates again resumed their sitting . Mr . Smart was in the chsir . Mr . Hogg said that he was deputed to wait upon the Convention , to solicit that nine delegates be appointed to draw up the resolutions and make the necessary arrangements for the public meeting to be held on Monday next . He was also directed to suggest that twenty minutes be allowed each speaker . He had th ' pleasure to inform the Commutes , that the large room at the Crown and Anchor was engaged for the meeting . ( Hear , hear . )

      MONDAY , May 24 . The General Committee assembled at ten o'clock for the despatch of general business .

      TO THE PROPRIETOR OF THE " SUN . " Sir , —In a recent number of your paper you publish a letter from yourself to yourself , under the signature of A . Why not add the double SS , Sir , and givo to your readers all that confidence which tho authority of your real signature and name must carry wituit ? In your letter you would impose a belief upon your readers that Chartism was on the wane in Manchester ; and you would support your assertion by the assurance that not more than 300 Northern Stars were now circulated In that district Sir , you were quite right to couple Chartism and its organ ; and allow wo to place be fur e you , under the signature of a hard-working man , the present position of tbe cause and ita organ , in answer to your two asssertiona .

      Firstly , then , allow me toll you on behalf of Chartism , that tlio National Petition has been signed in a too brief space to admit of full justice being done to it , by 07 , 000 persons , pr oue-flftn . of the whole population . Now , Sir , in what ' terms would you announce , in long ' primer , the fact of such an array of names on behalf of your " aiUi-mompo'M' cry ? So much for Chartism ! They , Sir , not wishing tbe people ' s paper to be judged by a single week ' a or month ' s circulation , but , in ord ^ r to show you the steadiness with which it has

      weathered the greatest poverty ever known among its supporters , I beg leave to furnish you with the numbers ordered by one agent alone , for Manchester and immediate district , while many other agents in the same district receive over 300 weekly . The following is a correct list of the number of Stars furnished to Mr . Abel Heywood for each month of tbo last nine months , from June 1 st , to March 31 st inclusive ; being the latest period to which Mr . Heywood could furniah hia quarterly account , tho last quarter having terminated in March : —

I can corroborate this fact , as I pack every paper , and keep an account of all sent .

      Now , Sir , what say you to your authority for the past ? while I aaoure you , upon the honour of a hardworking man , that tho number of papers printed , published , and sold at the usual price with no returns of unsold copies , for tbo quarter ending the 31 st o ( March , exceeds the number printed , published , and sold during the previous quarter , ending in December , by 8 , 070 papers . Now , Sir , what say you to the simultaneous increase of poverty and of Churtism ? Don't you wish yon had not mado an ass of yourself ?

      TO CAPITALISTS , MILLOWMERS , PROPRIETORS OF MINES AND GE . NTLK 1 IEN OF SCIENCE . A NEWLY-DISCOVERED WORKING POWER . That " he who causes two blades of Grass to grow where only one grew before , is so far a Cr < ator , "is a sentiment which has received the stamp of public approbation . And , surely , he who turns two spindle 3 where only one was turned beforo , or who grinds two grains of Corn where only was ground before , or who discovers an Agent by means of which ten thousand tons may be lifted where none were lifted before , is as instrumental in serving his

      fellcw-men as if he found meana to sustain the People that would be rcq lired to perform the labour saved . Nothing but an ignorant impatience of improvement can prompt any man to deny this : although every new invention niay be attended with iucouvenienco to the persons who happen to be deprived of employment in consequence of the sudden and unexpected introduction of a now machine . It is hoped , therefore , that in adopting the New Method of producing Working Power duo caution may be employed , so that it may be an Immediate Benefit to all Classes of Society , without ibtlicting the least injury upon any person .

      Tbo Rev . John Williams Morris , Ministor of Deanrow Chapel , Wilmslow , Cheshire , and Honorary Member of the Liverpool Total Abstinence Society ^ most respectfully begs leave to call the attention of Gentlemen of Capital , Millowners , Proprietors of Mines , and Gentiomcn of Science , to this advertisement . Havimj made such discoveries in the art of producing Working Power as can be made only once in the duration of a Planet , ( unless , indeed , the knowledge of these discoveries be lost , at the time of a general deluge , or by the whole race of rational beings falling into a stato of -savage life , or by some dreadful convulsion of nature of which there is no authentic record . ) Mr . Morris is desirous of making his discoveries known under the privilege of Royal Lsttcrs Patent iu every shado of the civilized World in which Letters Patent may be obtained , aud wishes to receive proposals from Gentlemen of Capital in this very important undertaking .

      Mr . Morris is willing to show one of his Working Models to any number of gentlemen of capital ( not exceeding the number allowed by tho laws relating to Royal Letters Patent , ) who will join in a bond not to divulge the secret by means of which the Power is produced , until the Royal Lottery Patent are obtained . He will pay all expenses attendant upon the negotiations , and the manner iu which the profits arising from the Working Power shall be disposed of must ba previously determined and agreed upon , and any of the gentlemen will bo at liberty to

      withdraw from the undertaking , previous to the Royal Letters Patent being obtained , and without being at any expenco : Mr . Morris being fully confident that so eligible an opportunity of obtaining a very large revenue from every state of tho civilised world was never before offered to the public . Mr . Morris will then show the Working Model of a Dynamic Engine ( an Engine producing Workiug Power , ) s » cheap in ita construction , ana producing its Power by means so economical , as has never been exhibited before .

      Letters addressed to the RevyJ . W . Morris , Deanrow , Wilmslpw via Manchester , ( pre paid , ) containing proposalu for this very important undertaking , and stating the terms upon which Money will be advanced to obtain Letters Patent in various parts of the world for this new discovery , will receive immediate attention .

      Bradford.—Shocking And Fatal Acci-

      BRADFORD . —Shocking and Fatal Acci-

      dent . —An inquest was held on Monday , at the Star Inn , West gate , Bradford , on the body of Ann Coop , who met her death in the following lamentable manner . On Sunday , Mr . Nathan Coop , flour dealer , Westgate , ( who had been a widower two months , ) and deceased , whose maiden name was New * ll ( a mill girl aged thirty , ) started with some friends in a gig , or some such vehicle , for Tong , for the purpose of being married . After the ceremony they proceeded to Wakefield , and spent the day . On

      returning home down Bowling , the horse took fright and ran away ; when it came to the Wheat Sheaf Bar , the horse ran against a post , and fora moment stopped , when Coop jumped out , but the horse started again , when the bride jumped out also , and alighted with her head against a lamp post . She was taken up Benseless , and expired immediately after in a neighbouring house . The wife of her brother , who was in the vehicle ,- was flung out of tho gig , and sustained such injuries , that at the time we are writing we hear she is dead . The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death" on Mrs . Coop .

      Coal Informer . —A common informer , named Wheater , on Wednesday last , preferred several informations against persons in the neighbourhood of Bradford , "for selling coals by measure , and not by weight , contrary to law . " However , the fellow was not entirely successful ; for , although Messrs . Foster and Lassey submitted to convictions in mitigated penalties , another case was dismissed for want of proof ; and , in a third , Mr . Clarkson appeared for John Sutoliffe , of AUorton , and by legal ingenuity succeeded in extricating his client from the fangs of his merciless antagonist .

      BOZiTOK . —Independent Methodists and Cii \ ttTisM . — -On Sunday last , an individual connected with the Independent Methodists of this town , and who has been engaged to procure signatures for the Anti-Corn Law Petition , gave notice ( hat after the ovening service , he would propose a petition in favour of a Repeal of the Corn Laws , to the congregation for their adoption . This the Chartist members were determined to oppose , and procured a heading of the National Petition for the Charter , release of prisoners , &c , and , at the appointed hour , when the Repealer brought forward h' 9 petition , thu Chartists also produced theirs , to the no small astonishment of the Repealers . A regular discussion took place , and after an hour ' s debate , the National Petition was , on a division , carried by a large majority .

      Moiie Falsehoods . —The Morning Chronicle of Friday last , contains an account of an Anti-Corn Law meeting , said to be held in Bolton on the Monday previous . No meeting for such a pnTpose was hold in this town on that day . A hole-and-corner meeting was held , convened by circular from the Mayor , for tho purpose of petitioning Parliament to adopt tho propositions of Ministers relative to the import duties , &c . Thero were about fifty millowners , manufacturers , and shopkeepers present . Tho petition was all but unanimously adopted—the C- 'irh Law Repealers thus virtually and meanly abandoning total repeal , by praying for a fixed duty . Town Council . —The quarterly mooting of this body was held on Wednesdav last , when a . petition

      to Parliament , m favour of tho propositions of Ministers relative to the import duties , was read and proposed for their adoption . It , of course , received tho support of all those sham-free-traders , and would-be Corn Law repealers , or anything else sooner than "let in the Tories "—those who regard no principle that does not quadrate with the tupport of Ministers . However , the really honest freetrade men in the Council were determined to show fight , and stick to principle . Mr . P . R . Arrowsmith said " he believed they were all for free trade , " and proposed a resolution in which that principle would bo recognised ; but this did not suit tho Ministerialists —the professing cheap-bread and total-repeal men .

      They said it would " embarrass Ministers ; " admitted that there was something inconsistent in " a total repealer applying fcr a fixed duty ; " but that they would " merge their little differencos to support Ministers , " at present , and look for more afterwards . Mr . Arrowsmith hoped the Council were not willing to make a compromise , and give up their principle . As to damaging the Ministry , that w » 3 nothing to them ; let them adhere to principle . Ho wa 3 supported by Messrs . J . Lomaxi Tong , Liwson , Haslatn , &c . On a division the resolution was lost by a majority of two . This has caused the honest Corn Law repealers to refleot a little , and exclaim " How ia this !"

      RICSRSOND . —On Saturday night , the 1 st inst ., the cow house belonging to Mr . Richard Pickersgill , of Brookes , near Richmond , was broken into and four hens feloniously taken away .

      our paper irili bo found an advertisement of Mr . Morris ' s Dynamic Eugine , to which we-won Id direct the attention of . all interested in-such discoveries and . improvements . We certainly look with pleasure upon every new discovery , whether coming under the name of mechanics , chemistry , or science of any description ; and we think that Mr . Morris ' s Dynamic Engine is worthy of attention so far , at least , as regards the cheapness of its obstruction and tho economy attendant on its operations .. Oar

      objection is not to machinery , in the strict sense of the word , but to the abuse now connected with its operation . We wish to see machinery made subservient to labour , by being restricted . within proper bounds in its working , and not , as now is the case , made the curse of the iudustrious classes , amd thd pander of the avaricious capitalist . We do not cry "destroy the monster , " but we say , make it the servantof the operative—curb the giant—let it benefit tho millions , and not the individual interests of a few grasping , grinding inillociats , as it now does .

      TO THE ELECTORS AND NON-ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF BRADFORD . GENTLEMEN , —A Deputation having waited upon CAPTAIN WOOD , of Sandal , to ascertain whether he would allow himself to ba put in Nomination for the Representation of this Borough , in case of an Election , he has declared his willingness to stand on the following Principles : — A full and real Representation of every Male Twenty-one Years of Age , of eonnd Mind and anconTioted of Crime ; Annual'Parliaments ; Vote by Ballot ; No Property Qualification for Members of Parliament ; arid equal Electoral Districts ; Repeal of the New Poor Law ; Abolition of all Monopolies ; and a Redress of all practical Grievances .

      Electors of the Borough of Bradford ! Reform is now in ita Eleventh Year , and you and the Masses have been in vain looking for its- beneficial Results : your Prospects aye becoming increasingly beclouded , and the Condition of the Working Classes more wretched , than ever ; the Non-enfranchised tttl degraded by their Political Disabilities , and that there is no hope for a substantial Social Improvement for them , but through ^ Radical Reform of the Home of Commons . Such a Reform , it is evident , cannot much longer be delayed ; it is for the Electors of England to render such a Reform peaceably practicable , by returning such Men as CAPTAIN WOOD : the alternative w fearful to contemplate . Act , then , like Wise Men and Patriots , by giving this Gentleman your Support , and yon will nave the consciousness of having done your Part towards the Salvation of your beloved Country .

      Non-Electors ! Give proof of the Truth of the above Remarks as to your Views and Expectations , by standing nobly by your Man : you havo no Vote , but you havo a certain Influence which you can exercise . Do your duty like Men who respect tiveir own manhood . By Order of the Committee , THOMAS ROBINSON , Chairman . Committee Room , North Tavern , North Street , May 25 , 1841 .
