      DUBLIN . —Irish Universal Supfrage Association . —This Association , which is weekly receiving large accessions of numerical strength , and whose principles are recognised by thousands in Ireland , who , uader the system of Corn Exchange interdict , have not yet summoned sufficient moral courage to enter its ranks , met at its treat rooms , 14 , North Anne-street , on Sanday last , Mr . H . Clark in the chair . The meeting was well attended , and several new members were admitted ; amongst them Mr . William Antisell , son of that well-known patriot and personal friend of the " Liberator , ' Counsellor Antis » ll , father of the Irish Bar . After the minutes had been read , and Borne routine business transacted , Mr . Dyott , who has been elected Secretary , entered

      into a graphic description of the late fracas , and subsequent correspondence , which had taken place between the Corn Exchange folk and Mr . Coyne , the hatter . The former had given the latter a fresh specimen of their "liberality" aid love of freedom . A number of burly Repealers had waylaid and beaten the suspected Chartist , kicked him in the abdomen , and laid him stretched on a bed of pain ! a rare specimen of the forbearance and philanthropy of these non-physical-force gentlemen . He concluded a long speech by moving the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Woodward , and passed unanimously : — " That the Irish Universal Suffrage Association is forced , thus publicly , to vindicate its character from the foul , false , and infamous calumnies which have

      been so often and so unscrupulously made against it ; namely that of ' tendering unlawful oaths to the members , and instigating them to tear down priests from the altar . ' That this atrocious calumny has been made by a gang of unprincipled adventurers , insolvents , swindlers , forgers , and perjurers , who have neither house , nor home , and who appear to have no other means of eking out a living , ( until some municipal situations are opened for them at the expense of the citizens , ) , than that of subsisting on the large sums of money which they obtain from their confiding and credulous dupes , under the pretence of Repealing the Union , while their great leader has honestly declared , that he will not bring that question forward in the House of Commons , until he has the signatures of 4 , 000 , 000 of

      Irishmen , to a petition for that purpose ; while at the same time it is well known , that there are not 3 . 500 , 000 male inhabitants in Ireland , including new-born babes ! 2 . ' The Irish Universal Suffrage Association , collectively and individually , deem it incumbent upon them to proclaim , that their respect and veneration for the Irish Catholic Clergy is as unbounded , and as sincere , as that of any other society in the universe ; that there are no secrets nor oaths of any kind in their society ; that they do not consider any persons as friends but those who tall to every body every thing they hear and see at the meetings of the Association ; that the Association Ijas been iounded for the purpose of obtaining by legal and constitutional means , and by such means

      only , Universal Suffrage , Tote by Ballot , Annual Parliament ? , Equal Electoral Districts , No Property Qualification , Payment of Members ; and when these blessings are obtained , a Repeal of the Union . " Mr . W . Antisell said he had read over with great eare , the rules and objects of the Association , before he had made up his mind to join them : and had found them In perfect accordance with the inalienable right"of every man to a voice in the making of laws , by which he was bound in purse and person . The thanks of the meeting were then returned to Mr . Clark for his impartial condnct as Chairman , and the meeting separated , giving three hearty cheers for the success of Daniel O'Connell's Manhood Suffrage . ( . Tremendous laughter . )

      NEWPORT . —On the 7 th inst ., the Association came to the following resolution : — " That this Association view with abhorrence , and severely censure the conduct of Collins , O'Neil , and others of the Corn Law League , for their brutal and cowardly treatment of our worthy and philanthropic friend , Feargns O'Connor ; and we are determined to resist all his enemies , and stand by him till death , considering his enemies foes of humanity , and to the cause of freedom . " NORTHWICH ( Cheshire ) . -Visit of Mr . R . Littler , o * Salford , to his Native Town , Northwich . —Mr . Littler having been over last

      week to visit his friends , and wishing to do as much good as possible , immediately waited on Mr . Dean , and informed him that he would address the Chartists on Monday evening , on Equal Rights and Laws . The bellman was sent round instanter to cry the meeting . At Beven o ' clock the large room of the Talbot Inn was densely filled . Mr . Lewis , late of Oldham , was called to the chair . Mr . Littler addressed the meeting for two hours in a strain of impassioned eloquence amidst repeated rounds of applause . An impetus is given to Chartum in Northwich . A vote of thanks having been given to the lecturer and chairman , the meeting quietly

      separated . BijUttXNGHATtt . —Mb . O'Connor ' s Lecture at the Mechanics' Institute . —A meeting , called by placard , took place in the saloon of the Mechanics ' Institute , Newhall-stxeet , on Thursday evening week , Mr . Ernes in the chair . Mr . O'Connor delivered a highly instructive and eloquent lecture , which was received with enthusiastic cheers by a numerous audience . He entered into the qnestion of the Lam ) , and explained , in a clear and comprehensive manner , the beneficial results that might be expected from the establishment of the People ' s Charter , and concluded amidst loud and enthusiastic cheers . Mr . J . Williamson afterwards made some remarks respecting the conduct of the Christian Chartists . Mr . Benjamin Hill , an active member of the Christian Chartist church , defended the body with which he was connected , and denied that they were hostile to Mr . O'Connor . It ought to be here mentioned

      that Mr . Hill acted a manly part in the Organ Gallery at the time that Mr . O'Connor was bo grossly insulted , by handing up a note from Mr . White to that gentleman , in defiance of the yells and threats of the anti-Corn Law party . He also corroborated Mr . O ' Connor ' s statement respecting the ruffianly conduct of those parties towards him , and at the same lime cordially supported the first resolution at the late Town Hall meeting . We , therefore , take this opportunity of doing justice to Mr . Hill , at the same time regretting that , in consequence of the short time in which the report had to be got up , it was unintentionally omitted last week . Mr . O'Connor ' s lecture gave great satisfaction to the meeting , and his visit to Birmingham has done incalculable benefit to the Chartist cause , so much so , that thousands are now confirmed in their belief , that nothing short of the Charter can produce any permanent benefit to the nation .

      Mr . J . ilajo read and proposed , for the adoption of the meeting , the National Petition . Mr . John Griffiths seconded the adoption of the National Petition , and impressed on them the necessity of union . The pet : tion was carried unanimously .

The villages in Warwickshire are also coming up ; nearly 300 signatures have been sent to Mr . White this last week from the village of Bidford .

      Bramley . ——A rare instance of good feeling , faith , and fellowship was manifested by Rlr . Richard . Farrar , of Bramley , to his workpeople on Wednesday week , by giving them , as has always been his custom , a good dinner . It is evident Mr .

After the leoture , a resolution pledging the people to the whole Charter and nothing less , was moved by Mr . Cindy , seconded by Mr .

Mr . George

      Johnson , a celebrated Ohart at veteran , occupied the chair . The large moating room was packed and wedged until not another could be gotten in . Mr . AAtkln , schoolmaster , read an address from the cotton spinners to the rDanufacturerB of Ashton . The address was received with loud cheers from the meeting . Mr . Aitkin followed it up in a short pithy , and sensible address , shewing the evils of reductions , exposing the villany of the master towards the colliers , and expatiating on the alarming state of the country . He mentioned a master who was then giving more than any of those who had given notice , who reprobated their conduct , and declared it was only through avarice , and therefore uncalled for . The speaker sat down much applauded . The Chairman rose and said he would give his views upon the matter as to

      the line of policy they should adopt in order to expose the doings of the cotton mastera . He thought that aa there were parties in the House of Commons who wou'd take up the question , it would not be unwise to memornlize Parliament , shewing their condition . Mr . Ferrand had told some truths which could not be contradicted , truths wbich would do a great good to the cause of the people . Several voices cried out strike at once , and never go in again till something ia done . Others asked bow many hundreds were already walking the streets ? Others cried ouk wo can only get seven shillings now , and what shall we get when ten per cent . Is taken off ? One party from the body of the meeting recommended an interview with them , whilst others asked who dare do that ? as It would be a sure sign to

      be bagged : and sent into the streets , therefore they would let the tyrants glory in their own villany . Ssveral voices cried out at the top rf their lungs , that they had been to their masters , who told them . they should not give way in the least . Indeed they considered them very impertinent for even coming to ask such a thing ! Mr . Aiiklnroso in the midst of this desultory conversation , and . said that dlspalr had taken possession « f their minds , anJ they were nearly reckless of conse quences . He could not conscientiously advise them to turn out when there was no money in the exchequer to support them . Othertowns were in the same condition as themselves , and so long as tkere were so many in the streets already , and they had no funds , he thought they had better try if they could prevail upon them to stop the

      reduction , as there were none to help them , consequently they would have to depend upon their own resources . The dressers , who were better paid and more likely to succeed , have just lost their strugglethe masters had conquered—and every one who was bold enough to face the masters , and strike , had been deprived of situations—left to starve—and , what was still worse , neglected by those who promised to support them . He would only give his advice , leaving them , of course , to adopt what step they deemed prudent He could not counsel a turn-out when there was no sign of success ; he would rather say , let them meet their masters in the dignity of men—not be afraid of them , and show the injustice , impolicy , and impropriety of reductions—tell them ( the mastera ) that they

      knew their rights , and that they had no right to make encroachments upon their labour . After a few such like remarka , Mr . A . sat down , Mr . Riehard Pilling said ho was informed that there was a notice , iu Buckley's Mill , of ten per cent . ; and , at another wiill , be had heard , the reduction would take a fonrtb . If they would take notice of the state of the country , no ode could recommend a turnout . A strike at Stockport had only just terminated in favour of the masters , which would be , in some instances , three-halfpence in theahiUing . Mr . Pilling then showed the reductions which had taken place at Blackburn , Hyde , Burnley , Hull , &c , ice , and said it only showed what those Corn Law repenlUg gentlemen were . One master had made au abatement of eightp ^ ce for himself , threepence to the cutlooker , and one penny for the overlooker ; and the lass had only a shilling per cat for weaving it , at

      the best , 8 b that she had to weave it for nothing . He had no doubt that if the Corn Laws had been repealed , the cotton-masters , instead of taking ten per cent , would have taken twenty , thirty , or forty percent . There wasy no hope but in the achievement of their political rights . They would never be protected UDtil they had the vote . They never would work full time again , ' because there was sufficient machinery to supply all the world , and hell and heaven , too , if they wanted calico . Several others addressed the meeting and it was agreed that they , the masters , should be remonstratsd with . The meeting adjourned to Thursday Three cheers were given for the Charter , O Connor , Ferrand , the Star , and Aitkin ; a vote of thanks to the chairman ; and the meeting quietly dispersed . A copy of the address has been sent to us ; but we are sorry that oar space entirely precludes its insertion this week .

      Northern -Star-Ojice , Friday < Mornxng . This morning ' s ppst has brought us much more intelligence from the soeno of the "League" atrocities on Tuesday than time will allow us to insert . We give the following communications , and must reserve those of "An Eye Witness , " and several other parties , for further uBe . '

      MURDER WILL OUT . FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE INTENDED ASSASSINATION OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR . " Wh « n rogues fall out honest men come by their own . ¦ ¦ - . ' ¦ . ¦ . - . ¦ ' ¦ " . . . ¦ ' : ¦; ¦ ¦ ., , ¦ . - " : / ; ¦ ,. ' :.,. . ' The Chartibta of Manchester and indeed men of all political opinions , feel indignant beyond expression , at the cowardly attack made upon Feargus O'Connor , on Tuesday last . At first , the thing was looked upon as a mere ebullition of Irish feeling in behalf of Daniel O'Connell ; and as such things had before occorred in a mitigated form , not much was thought of it : but since , the

      following facts have transpired . Owing to the distinction made between the high and low ruffians a split has taken place , and the whole affair is coming td light . The facts are these . A certain association of Corn Law Repealers , found the money which wa" 5 distributed t 6 all who could be hired to do th « work of destruction . The money was placed in the hands of a leading Irishman , who sells old clothes , and who , from his avocation , ia extensively acquainted with his poorer countrymen . He is the individual who was pitched upon on the < previous pecasions , at Stevensons-f quare and the Carpenter ' s-hall , to hire the men . On the present occasion , however , he paid the forces unequallv . giving to some a

      shilling for the job , and a penny for admission ; while others received half-a-crown for their vt'ork , and a penny for admission . ; The thirteea-penny assassins being jealous of the half-crown assassins , a regular division baa taken place : the thirteenpennyites crying shame on the foul deed ; and declaring themselves O'CONNORITES ; and the halfcrownites justify the disparity , as being picked men ' , and profess themselves O'Connellites . I have just learned also that the man who first struck O'Connor was to have had £ 5 . His name is Price . So that thevwhole murder will come out , and be subject of strict and searching enquiry . I understand that some of those eDgag ; ed , have given Mr . O'Connor a full account of the whole

      Untitled Article

      transaction , and which , when detailed , will make Messrs . Edward Watkin , and Others , cut but a sorry figure before their English fellow-ebuntrymen The Chartists swear that had the plot succeeded , and had O'Connor been assassinated , that not a stone would how be standing on another in Manchester . It ia ntterly impossible to give the faintest idea of the excitement that prevails , as new facts transpire ; and had it not been for the glorious triumph of last night , God only knows what the result might have been . It is currently rumoured that another attack ia to be made on O'Connor to-night at Stockport . but report says

      that the Chartists thereare prepared for the worst . Large bodies of Chartists are going from Manchester , Ashton , and the surrounding districts . . : They have now in truth roused the British lion , and but for O'Connor ' s judicious speech last night much bad feeling would have been engendered between the English and the Irish . Many of the respectable Irishmen are using a ll means to rid themselves of the odium , and the ruffians appear to be thoroughly ashamed of their job . . " By next week I shall have some very important communications to make to you , which , if disclosed at present , might tend to frustrate the ends of justice . ' : - .:. ; -J .

      STATE OF THE WOUNDED AND MAIMED IN THE BLOODY "LEAGUE

      "—ONSLAUGHT ON TUESDAY EVENING . ; Our correspondent thus writes us- by Thursday evening ' s post : —Mr . O'Connor requested me to visit as many as I could this morning , in order to ascertain ihe particulars for our readers , as great excitement and anxiety exists , both in Manchester and all the surrounding districts . 1 st . I went to Mr . William Swires , hat manufacturer , in . Thomaa-street . I knocked at the door , and a very respectable , young woman opened it . § he was then in tears , and her . eyes very much swelled as though she had been long weeping . Having Mr . Campbell with me , on learning my errand , she showed us the room in which the old gentleman , who is upwards of pixty years of age , lay . On approaching his bed , I saw a figure resembling t " he

      shape of a man ' s face ; bu > , as for features , they could not be discerned . His face was cut in seven different places , besides several deep gashes in his head . He was nearly black and blue all over lis shoulders , body , and legs : One of his ribs is broken ; and two others so injured , that it was with difficulty the Doctor : could tell whether , for a while , they were broken or not . On offering him my hand , he made an attempt to raise his , but his screams were piercing , in consequence of the pain . His wife says every time he stirs Se groans dreadfully . He was beaten with sticks , pokers , and other weapons , thrown off the platform , and jumped upon . Mr . Harwood , in attempting to rescue him , had his head lacerated in four or five places—received many kicks arid blows about his body .

      2 nd . We were then shewn into another room , where lay a young man , who was the husband of the young woman who opened the door . His name is Tho , Swires , nephew of William Swires . He received his wounds while trying to protect and ^ rescue his ' uncle . He has many deep and serious gashes about his head and face ; his afms are black with blows from the sticks , and he is bruised besides from head to foot . He would have received more , only one of the villains cried that" he had enough . " He could not walk , and had to be brought home in the carriage with his uncle . James Heap and Mrs . Kennedy came home with them . He suffers much from his wounds . The sheets and shirt of the unfortunate man were saturated with , blood . The doctor tells him he will be confined to his bed for a long time , even ifha recover at all . -

      3 rd . Mr . James Greenwood , bad his head cut in many places , besides kicks and bruises about his body . Very much injured , but can just hobble about . ¦ " , "¦¦ ¦ : " ¦ . ¦¦ .. ; ;¦ ¦ . ¦ . . v / . ' . ; . ¦ - ¦ . .. ' . . . '¦ . ¦ . >¦ .,. ' \ . - \ 4 th . Mr . John Murray is dreadfully out and mangled , and presents a most pitiable and frightful figure . His hand lame ; his eye nearly knocked out ; his head cut in three places ; his clothes covered with blood . The hat which he wore was cut in five places . He is black and blue from head to feet ; and in his shoulder there is a hole which to look at Ib truly horrifying , made by a nail which

      was in the table leg with which he was struck by one of the bludgeon men . One side of his face is dreadfully disfigured . He is very ill , and will be a long time before he can do any work . He is upwards of sixty years of age , a sound Chartist , and was acquainted with the O'Connor family . Although very bad , he says he would lose his life for either Feargus or the principles of which he is the advocate . Whilst he was defending himself ; he received a blow which knocked him senseless , during which time he lost or somebody took four half-crowns and a shilling from his pocket .

      5 th . Mr . Thomas Railton , member of the towncouncil . Me-srs Fielding , Growcott , and Campbell was with me when I visited this man . On entering the room he looked at us . and with difficulty raised his hand for us to shake . On being asked how he was , tie said he waa like Mr . O'Connor ; he had got the six points of the Charter , meaning his wounds , his cuts , bruises , and his arm broken ; and had also the bump of No Surrender . His arm bad been set , and the doctor told him that oven if he took very great care of himself he would be confined to his bed for threeweeks . 6 th . The Rev . Mr .: Schofield has a dreadful black eye , cut in many parts of his face , and bruised in many parts of hia body . Was very ill the next day . " ; : ¦ "' " ,. ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦' . ¦¦¦ ¦ .. . v '¦' .

Mr . C . Doyle . ^ -His ears , shoulders , and le g * are bruised very much . Doyle is very lame and poorly , but can hobble about ; and though Linney was iu the midst of all the row , from beginning to end , he is the less injured oflKe two . Linney Was at the meeting on Wenesday evening , but poor Doyle was too ill to come out . There are many others wounded , but time Will not permit me to visit them this week , so as to send anything respecting them for the current publication .
