      A . ND THE PUBLIC GENEB ^ LLY LEEDS AND ITS VIClSriTY . IT is withfeelinga of the deepest regret that the LETTER-PKBSS PRINTERS of LEEDS in expressing their own sympathy for their distressed brethren , are called to the painful duty of respectfully soliciting the attention of the Nobility , Gentry , Clergy , Professional Gentlemen , and the Inhabitants of Leeds and its ' - 'Neighbourhood , to the destitute condition of about ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED of their fellow-Prin ter ^ in the Metropolis , who with their dependant Families are labouring under severe and protracted privation and suffering , from want of Employment . ' When the Printsra of Lsoda recur to the many advantages to mankind consequent upon the past labours of their profession , and wh ' an they consider hovsr prominent and diatinguished an auxiliary tho Art of Printing has be ' ou in promoting the instruction , tho cdification ,: thb prosperity , tho happiness , and the general advancement—social , moral , and political—ot this country arid of the world , they arc . led humbly to trust , in making a general appeal to publio . aympalhy on behalf of their unfortunate brethren , with a Tievv to the alleviation of their distress , that , tho liberal responses of the benevolent will confirm and e&tabiish the propriety of iha measure now adopted . ' , It is with great pleasure and gratitude , that the printers of Leeds can xi'cord , amongst other p \ iice $ , the very benovoltnt response pi" tho City of York , to the object of the present appeal , aud especially the hancsoine donations of the Archbishop of York , the llieht Hon . tho Lord Mayor of York , aud the Ven . Archdeacon Todd . The Printers of Leeds cannot refrain from again urging this appeal upon the 'benevolent of allclasfes , by stating that the ca 3 e is one of deep and loftgcoHtinued distress , and calls loudly lor immediate relief , as will bs observed from the- ' . 'following Address of the London Printers : — "TO THE NOBILITY , GKNTBY v AND THK PUBLIC IN GKXKRAL . " .. ' " ¦ Central Committee Rooms , Bell Yard , Tomple Bar . " Ladies and Gentlemen ,- ^—The Committee appointed by the uneuapioye'd Printers of London to isssue a public Address , in appeaJingto their benevolence , do so with Iij . 11 . corifiden « e of their sympathy and support * It is calculated that , at the present time , there airs upwards of -twelve hundred unemployed Compositors and Pressmen , and many of tuem , with large families , are in an absolutely-starving state . Numbers of oar worthy brethren have already applied for parochial aid ; and as the publio mnsc well knew , from the present state of onr Poor Laws , any apsistance from that quarter , but that of enteriBgtheUnion'Vyorkouse , is denied ; arid members of our trade have been compelled to submit to that alternative . The committee beg to ^ inform them that the sedentary occupation , and raaiiy hours which they must necessarily apply to their business , preclude them from any chance of obtaining a livelihood in anyway unconnected with the printing business . Andnoclassof men'are sooner debilitated , with tbe loss of Bight ,. 'and ' , paralysed limbs , than your hambie supplicants , which the noble and ' -. generous patrons of the Printer ' s Pension Society are fully aware of , from the reports of that society . The principal cause of their great distress being that of the numerous failures amosgst booksellers , and others connected with tho printing busiuess ; also , the little business done by Parliament , in consoqnence of the unsettled state of public affairs . The public nMiEjt be aware that these are the chief sources from which their labours are called in to action . The generous nobility and public , on a former occasion , in tbe years 1825—6 , having so nobly responded to the callof benevolence in their behalf , the Committeehavo every reason to beliava that in the present distressed state of the printing business , a like sympathy will crown their efforts . . : ^ " J . T . Gregg , Chairman , " W . Darga ^ Hon . Sec . " In conclusion it may be proper to announce , that the Printers of Leeds haro contributed the Sum of TEN POUNDS , and appoint ed Two of their number to collect and receive Subscriptions , who will make an early call ucoa the TarVous Gentlemou of the Town .

Hence the necessity for details ; and details , come irpm whatever quarter they may , if well substantiated , always come to ua as acceptable visitors , and are welcomed as an effective force which we can wield against the strongholds of corruption . The details in this Almanack are clearly set forth , and really they tell a' dark and fearful tale . Unhappily we have too good grounds to believe them correct . Mr .

      , TJuse persons , of coursey knew when they sent their letter that ( coming at that period yf the treekj it would not appear this week . Ji is such a letter as they have no right to expect any newspaper to insert at all ; but tee shall not deviate from our usual course of allowing persons to abuse us in our own columns . The conductor of * ik Nor thern Star , whom these persons please to speak of as establishing a dictator Rttle short of that assumed by the Conqueror of old , " has made a constant practice of endeavouring to show , "fair play" to every one but himself . Sis anxiety on this head has caused him to open the columns of the paper to so many communications abusing its conductor and misrepresenting his

      statements , wider colour of some petty comp laint or other , that many such persons as Messrs Chapman and Co . seem to have taken up the notion that every body has aright to abuse the Editor of the Northern Star as much as they pleases and ihat it is a very serious crime in him to give any explanation of whatever misrepresentations may be made , or any contradiction to whatever falsehoods maybe asserted respecting him . We shall five this letter of Messrs . Chapman and Co . in our next week' s Notices to Correspondents ; ice shall answer its falsehoods by simply stating

      facts ; we shall leave its abuse to answer itself ; and shall have no more of these * capers" from either Mr . ( Zayton or his friends . Hi . Pexsy . —We are reluctantly compelled to withhold his excellent letter to Hamer Stansfeld , Esq . for ~ this week . fFuLiAJK Cook . —We think his communication belter not inserted . Let the " lads" g $ on—let them not be daunted . Truth must prevail . Edwabb M * Ewak . —We only received the paper from him containing the report of the saintly brawl in the Relief Church by the last post before going to press . We shall make use of it for our

      next . Beksakd JPCabtkby . —Bis letter in reference to CoL Thompson arrived too late for this week : it shall appear in our next . Pisder ' s Blacking . —Support job thb Exectotb , asi ) the Cacsx geneballt . —In our last we noticed the patriotic offer of Mr . Robert Zuhdy , of Mvtongote , Hull , to give threepence out of every shilling of his receipts for Finder ' s blacking to the Executive . Since then me have received the following letter from Mr . Lundy , to which we have great pleasure in drawing attention : —

      « Sia , — "Wlien I -wrote you last ireek , I -was not a-ware that Mr . Pinder allowed more profit on his blacking than id . to the shilling ; but I find the profit to be 200 per cent I shall then give 3 d . per shilling , a « I stated , to the Executive , and ao per cent , additional , oat of my receipts , to the funds of the Hall Chartists . I hope other agents roll follow the example . " BOBEBT JjVJiT >? . We hope so too . Let the thing be set about at once and in good earnest . Surely there is in every place some good Chartist as patriotic as Mr . Lundy 1 About it at once ! Let every locality hate its agent—let not an ounce of any other blacking come into a Chartist's house—let the sale of tile pushed among other parties as much as possible and the " rent roll" of the Executive trill soon be worth something .

      Qexsxes Datidsos is dissatisfied with the reason we assign for ihe non- publication of his letter ; that reason being " no room . " He threatens te cease rending she paper unless we assign a more satisf actory reason . We should certainly deprecate so heavy a calamity , as the loss of Mr . Davidson ' s patronage as seriously as we shall deplore it , if compelled to bear up against it ; but what can tee do in so perplexing a dilemma ? if we assign any otlicr reasgn , ' tis ten to one but it might be less u satisfactory" instead of being more W 3 . Upon t \ e whole , therefore , we see nothing for it , but to leave the matter as it is ; trusting that second thoughts may awaken our friend ' s commis $ erat \ on

      explained by the following short extract from the paper alluded , to i *—* The great efforts which Mr . Oastler has made for his country have , however , cost him much . No considerations of private interest havo ever restrained him in his endeavours to fulfil that whioh he conceired to be hia public duty ; This great , benevolent , and patriotic man is now the inmate of a debtor ' s prison ; debarred the full exercise- of those admirable faculties of mind and body which are bo well adapted to procure an ample provision for himself and family . A most earnest

      appeal is made to those who are attached to the cause of British constitutional government to contribute towards raising a fund for the purpose ot placing Mr . Oastler , his wife , and their adopted daughter , in comfortable circumstances . The money whioh is raised will be under the control of the trustees whose names are before mentioned , who will decide on the best method of fulfilling the objeot intended . " Among the names of the trustees we observe those of Lord Feversham , Sir George Sinclair , Bart ., &c . There is . little doubt , taking into consideration the exertions of Mr . Oastler to

      benefit the condition of the factory children , the disinterestedness of those exertions , and the many affluent and zealous admirers he has among all classes of politicians , that the subscription will realise the expectations of the most sanguine of hia friends . —Morning Herald . T

      BI&mXNGEL&Ia . —Chabtist Meetings . —A . meeting was held at the Chartist Association Room , Freeman-street , on Sunday evening last , Mr . Welflr ford in tha chair . The Chairman , who is an active member of the lately formed discussion class , dis * played in ' . hia person the usefulness of suoh eocieties . ; He opened the business ii a neat and efEtctive address , and concluded by introducing . Mjr . ' Georgo White , to address the meeting . Mr . White enteredr at grrat length into the attempts which were mad * to split up the Chartist body , under various pretences . He maintained that the Cora Law repealerg , the Rational Chartist , and other parties whidi were endeavouring to force ihemselves inta

      existence ^ were no other than their old and bitter enemies , the Whigs under a mask He next advtrted to ft paper published by Hctherinston Of London ; purporting to be the organ of A Natioual Associatioo * tae first number of . wbJoh contaiMed an attack on Air . O'Connor , tor the state ment which he made whilst hi Scotland relative to the "New Move" plotters . That document called oil Mr . O'Conuor for proot ' u of that which was- as clear as the sun at noonday . He could Rive proof sufficient of the paltry iutriguea of Hetheriugton , Brenster , Lovett , and Co ., ior there wan hardly % town in England or Scotland , where there was not a few empty-headed , paltry shop-boys , who were so puffed up with their own importance , and bo futt

      of conceit , as to suppose that every thing which was done by the working classes ought first to roceivo theirsanotion . When those parties were exposed , they declared they vrtne wronged , and called tor proofs , but they were Jibe moles— they worked underground Their secret workings could hardly be traced , were it not for the heapa of dirt which they continually turned up , as an evidence of their industry . He denounced the party aa a cheat on the publio , for wheuhe was iu London there was not above thirty of tne " new move' * men ( or rattier shop lads ) to maintain the cause ! vt humbug . He thought the real originators of these doings woro Hume , Warburton , Molesworth , Place and Co ., who supplied the money to the clique in London aud elsewhere

      for : the purpose ordotug all in their power to the present organisation , whichi was coustructed in such a manner aa to preclude the possibili'y of any person holding office of any deflciip . ion against the will of the Chartist body . Some of them had expressed a wish to see local organiaatious , instead of the present national one , under a supposition that it would be more BiftJ , but a mornen / j consideration would satisfy any reasonable being on that score , for under a li > cal organization they could npfe possibly employ lecturers as they did ; besides a few men in any town might , under the local system , do serious injury to the cause . He went on at great length to Bhew the superiority of the National

      Charter Association over any other plan which had been previously in existence , and : informed the meeting that they were about receiving some help from an um xpeoted quarter , which would enable the National Charter Association in iJirminMham , to raise its head higher than ever , tie next adverted to a speech made by Mr . Joseph Siurge , at a late meeting in Birmingham ^ in which he rejoiced at the decline of the physical-force , party , and * fter exposing the sophistry of Sturge and other sham-Chartists , he concluded amidst general applause . The chairman and others , afterwards addressed the meeting , alter which notice was given tiiat a new council would be nominated on the following evening ; after which tie meeting separated . .

      Monday Evening . —The usual meeting of members Of the National Charter Association was held at their room , Freeman-street , on Mouday evening Mr . Charles Ashton in the chair . The Chairman , after a short address , introduced Mr . George Whita to address the meeting . Mr . . White addressed the assembly on the poverty which pervaded the country , and exposed the rouenness of our glorious Constitution . He showed up the fallacy of the proposed emigration plan , and pointed out the People ' s Charter as the only panecea for the manifold eyilg under ' which the nation laboured . He traced the conduct of VVhigs and jl'brjes , and showed that a middle-class Goyerdtneut was oue of the most intolerable curses that could afflict a nation ; as a proof of which , he compared the extreme

      wrotcheduess of the labouring population of Great Britain with the inhabitants of those countries who were living , under whit was tsrmed a despotic Government , and stated his conviction that the people of Great Britain would , -erelong , have . realliborty , or an open aud undisguised deapotism . He appealed to their love of justice and humanity , and hoped that ' all who were 'determined to obtain freedom would enrol their names in the National : 'Charter Association . The Secretary ( Mr . Creswell ) ihen read the miautes of the last Council meeting ; after which , about sixtcea ^ persoas were nominated as members of the next Council , and a ballot appointed to' take place on .
