This sister declares Ehe has frequently applied to the ckrk of the Board of Guardians of the Bradford Union to get him relief , and also to get his liberation from the Castle , but of no avail . He tarried with this sister in Leeds about a month , and came to his brother George ' s , who -was almost as POO ! as himself , and cwild give him nothing euher to eat or drink , having himself had no work for the last £ Te weeks , and has two children .

Wade , innkeeper Bradford , when the above facts were stated to them by G . Holiawell and his wife . These facts need no comment . Let Sir James Graham cad Sir Robert Peel with that little sneaking hypocritical fool , Roebuck , who declares that the '' destitute poor have no right to relief , " think of this , and of their transacaons relative to the new law they are about to enact , and thiiik boff beantiful , end how charming it is to live under the abominable and accursed New Poor Law Amendment A » r .

U . Ckrk said he saw in the correspondence column cf that escslient journal notices , stating that

      "Starlight" was wanted in this locality . Now , it so happened that when a notice of that kind appeared , the English Chartists , in their generosity , sent more Stars there than the person who received them knew how to dispose of —( hear , hear . ) He should , therefore , suggest the propriety of the secretary , Mr . Dyo : t , sending a short notice to the Star , which he had no doubt but the Editor would publish every Saturdsy £ stating that all Stars seat to Dublin should b 9 regularly transmitted to those best entitled to them in the country parts , and who would make the best use of them . Ity this means no one would get too many at a time . It was owing to the publication of the proceedings of this Association iu the Northern Star , and the opportunity which he

      ( Mr . Clark ) had of sending the Star to good men ana true in bis native county , Sligo , that be had the honour of proposing 240 of his countrymen to their Association on that day fortnight . He hoped that tae Chartists of England would read what he was then saying , and when they could that thty would send their Sters here to us in hundreds , as they did lastyt-tr . What is it but sending them to their own brethren ? They had but 100 brothers in Ireland this time last year , and they have 1 , 000 now—( bear , hear ) The Stars enlighten and delight ue . The day is not distant when we shall be all of one mind—Universal Suffrage and no surrender . —Mr . Houldsworth said that while he resided in Rochdale he always sent his Stars to Dublin ; and now , as he had had an opportunity of seeing more of the country , and knowing the great good that this Association can effect , he shonld on his return home not only continue U > send his Stars , but influence his would

      friends to do so likewise . He had thought it be a very good plan for tfee Beveral lectnrers throughout England to recommend their respective audiences to forward their Stars as soon as possible after reading them—( hear , hear . ) The Irisn people would all join you if they could but get to know what you were about ; all they want is the means of knowing it . All to whom he had spoken agreed to the principles of the Charter . —Messrs . Turner , Rogers , Rourke , Burke , Johnson , Du £ , Q , uinn , and others also addressed the meeting ; after which Mr . Duff was called to the chair , and the thanks of the meetiDg were given to ilr . Maguire ; after which the meeting aojoumed till six o'clock in the evening on Sunday next .

This was only the second meeting at the Sugar Loaf .

      MR . O'CONNOR'S TISIT TO LANCASTER . On Saturday last , Mr . O'Connor arrived in . this town by the evening train from Manchester . A band was engaged for the occasion , aud the members of the Association , together with many hundreds of the working men , assembled at the Railway Station , to welcome him on his arrival . The moment he mace his appearance ho was greeted with the hearty cheers of the multitude , and during his progress through the town thousands

      joined in the procession , and continued to manifest their joy by repeated burstB of applause . The feeling that prevailed throughout was altogether enthusiastic and unexpected . The united body of the working men were delighted in having the opportunity of shewing their love of liberty and democracy by honouring the defender of those principles . This has been the first visit of Mr . O'Connor to Lancaster , and the universal feeling of joy was shewn in cheers that reverberated from one end of the town to the other .

      After an hour ' s " stay at the Kind ' s Arms , Mr . O'Connor proceeded to the place of meeting , accompanied by an immense procession , the band of music playing " See the conquering hero comes ! " About nine o ' clock the proceedings commenced . Mr . Fothergill was called to the chair . Mr . T . Lond moved the following resolution : — " That in the opinion of this meeting , the principles of tb . 8 People ' s Charter are founded in justice , and we are determined never to cease in our exertions until it becomes the law of the land . " Mr . BiiESLEV seconded the resolution . Mr . Harrison said that he had been deputed by the Chartist Association of Lancaster to present Mr . O'Connor with an address expressive of the opinion they entertained of his untiring exertions in the people ' s behalf . He then read the address .

      Mr . O'Connor rose amidst deafening applause . He observed that this waa the fifteenth meeting in North Lancashire at "Which D 9 Uad been present and spoken since Jest Monday , but the address with which he had just been honoured more than repaid him for all tbe trouble and fatigue he had undergone . He regretted that after a week of toil Ms bearers were compelled to spend their Saturday evening in such a manner , but if justice had been done them tne ' y would not be driYen to this—( . hear , hear . ) For many years he had paid considerable attention to the progress of political events , of which he had not been an unconevrned spectator ; : and one or two of the most prominent his friend Bees . ay had placed before-them . He had told them that the middle classes , who had hunted down that immortal

      patriot , Henry Hunt , and sought to cruJj his glorious efforts on the people ' s behalf , were now compelled to have recourse to his -writings in Eupport of their present views . This should teach a great moral Jeason—that man looks for no more than tbat to which he Is entitled ; and bad this been granted in due season the present extensive change would never have been thought of . At the commencement of reform , Gitton and Old Sarum were tbe objects of popular denunciation ; but the Tories of that day refused to muke any change whatever in their representation , or to confer the franchise on anch towns as Leeds , Birmingham , or Manchester . And mark the result . The people , roused from their apathy , forget OM Sarum , and the whole of the rotten bor&ugha fell with a sinele

      crash —( cheers ) This also taught a great moral truth—that Governments invariabiy granted from fear what they withheld from justice ( renewed cheers . ) Such had been the case with regard to Catholic Emancipation , the modification of the tithe system , and other remedial measures . He ( Beesley ) had further told them tbatatameetingof the middle classes , UeUHu Leads twelve months ago , they had offered "what they thun thought good terms , but even moderate Whiga would laugh at them now . The present distress of th « country was daily adding to the strength of Chartism , for misery was driving the raidcle clusees into thc-ir ranks .

" But let them see whether any other principles were equal to those cf the Charter . Let them glance at the gre&fc common family , and what did they behold ?—tbe spectacle of the many coerced and dragooned by the few . . Let them examine the amount of property and

      tbe amount cf poverty around them ; aad they would find Uiat in this sea-girt isle never wm there so much money or so much destitution , so much ¦ wealth or so much niiBeiy . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) If it -were asked , to whom does this enormous -weaHh belong ? ecae answers—to the repreBtnted in the House of Commons , the mercantile . and favoured clashes . Persons had recently been , appointed to inquire into the condition of various parts of the country , and it had been said that they had failed to show the existence of distress , but be ( Mr . O'Connor ) would do it for them . { Applause . ) They had shown what number of houses were uninhabited , but they had not had the honesty to say in what condition they had fennd tbe poor people by whom these had betn formerly tenanted ; but he

      would tell them that hundreds -were perishing for want of food . ( Hear , hear , and 'shunt !"} It would be Xolly in him to talk to them cf geology or any other science in which , they "were not interesttd , but he would talk to them of labour , which did interest them . They had heard a great deal of the yearly increase of population , and the impossibility of supplying its wants in a like ratio , but he contended that there waa more than enough for all , if equally distributed . ( Cheers . ) Suppose a manufacturer employed , a thousand hands weekly , and at the expiration of thirty years retired with a fortune of a million , and this was by no means improbable , when they looked at the Barings with their seven millions , the Arkwrights with their three

      millions , and others in proportion . Now it was dear that no man , by labour alone , could amass a million of mosey' ; be derived it from the .- exertions of others . But at the expiration of thirty years what was , the condition of the ¦ workman ? He found himself beggared in health and strength , was barely able to earn sufficient to prolong existence , and closed bis career of toil in abject penury . But supposing , for the sake of argument , they adopted the piinciple of the law church in respect of tithes ( which , -with the immortal Doyle , be would combat against to the last hour of his existence , ) the manufacturer would have £ 100 , 000 at the end of thirty jeats , and every workman in his employ £ 900 ; a sum sufficient to prevent hia being obliged , in the winter of life , to throw himself on the tender

A tradesman ; considered it hard if he were not enabled to : do so , and why- might , not a working man rettre yrijib . £ 900 ? But there -was a greater question he would advert to ; theextension of machinery , which had given rise , in a great measure , to the diBttesa of the country—( hear , bear . / Suppose'it required a thousand persons in Lancaster to do a stated quantity of work ; whether would it be to ^ their advantage to introduce a thousand additional men to divide their

      earnings , or to allow othera to compete with them ? There could be no doubt that both would be injurious , and machinery had been productive of such results . The mill-owners had said " Oh I there Is nothing like machinery ! " and this was natural ; seeing that it was the ground-work of their colossal fortunes ; but if tbey consulted the shoemaker , he would tell them there was nothing like leather—( chosrs and laughter . ) H < 9 would further illustrate feia meaning by narrating an incident "which occurred at a meeting in Manchester a Bhort time ago , and at which Mr . Gobden was present . A hand-loom weaver of the name of Butterworth had been loud in his invectives against ; the introduction of Bteam-looma , which bad thrown so many of his brethren oufe of employ . ' ' What ! " said

      Mr . Cobden , " would you destroy luacbjuiery ? ' •• No , " replied Butterworth , " you may eat by machinery , you may drink by machinery , you may go to bed by machinery , you may dress by machinery , provided your machinery does not take the coat off my back " ( L-ughteraHd applause , ) He did not wish to be understood as opposed to machinery in the aggregate , but to its enormous abuse . Distress had not prevailed to so great an extent in Lancaster as in other places : there was yet one fair spot amid the barren waste ; but they might rest assure 1 that if it continued in Manchester , Colne , and the immediate neighbourhood , there- would be no cordon saiiitaire . placed arotiiid . Lancaster . Tney could not prevent the starving thousands from qiiitting their homes , in the expectation , " however forlorn , of

      alleviating their condition or say to them , " Thus far shalt thou go , and no further . " York had been considered an exception ; but the tide of distress trovi the surrounding manufacturing districts had poured into that ancient , capital , and reduced it to a level with the rest , and such would ever be the casa until they had equal representation and paid Members—( hear , bear . ) In reference to the objects for which they were contending many persons had said V Why not take what you can get ? " but they WOttld risk th 8 forfeiture of tlie whole if they abandoned their high vantage ground . Nothing would be sained by adopting the half nieaaures of Mr . O'Cp-inell and Mr-Bigg . The mountain would not go to Mahomet , but Mahomet must come to . the Mountain— - (

      applause ) . The Tory press of London had said that he ( O'Connor ) would be afraid to show Mmself amongst the people as formerly ; but he thought it had boeri the reveise . He had espoused their cause from an innate conviction of ita rectitude , and come weal * come woo , he would never shrink from any danger on their behalf —( loud and continued cheering ) . No man felt more deeply than himself the wants cf the people , or had laboured more earnestly for their welfare . When danger presented itself he had ever been found foremost . He had pleaded their cause before the Judges of tb © land ; and in so doing ^ he did not think of himself as a barrister , or as the representative of an ancient family , but exerted his utmost energies to obtain what he could for the people—( cheers ) . Tbo good cause was rapidly

      progressing , and nothing could etay ita onward march , but Bome misgiving on . their part , or some foolish and violent outbreak . Events had shown that Sir Robert Peel ' s precious tariff would not bo productive of tco-anticipated benefits . No sooner had it been adopted than up rose tho King of the French on the one hand with iucreasod prohibitory duties , and the King of Prussia on the other ; and their example would be followed by ether states— ( hear , bear , hear ); A . fertile grievance was to be found in tha keeping-tip of a standing army , which he would disband , aye , even to the last diummer . If it were asked , would he leave the country without protection ? he would answer , certainly not . He would leave it to the protection ol tJiwe millions of operatives , the maintenance of whoso rights ond liberties' - 'Would be a guarantee for their fidelity , and who would rise as one man at the cry

      of " My cottage is in danger f" ( Cheers . ) Theywera supposed to be bound by an oath of allegiance to the State , but had they not a right to expect something in return ? and yet , the House of Coicmona had refused them the pitiful requeat to be heard in their own dftfence- ^( Shamo i ) Every other country had striven to render iteelf independent , but Great Britain had adopted a contrary course . She had sent 3 , 000 nsiles for raw cotton , manufactured , and sent it buck again ; but were there no raw materials at home ? were there no mines or fisheries ? Why seek the markets of the Continent to the prejudice of the home-consumer , who needed but the means to become the most safe and profitable one ? ( hear , hear . ) He had no doubt his sentiments would be misrepresented by the Lancaster press aa they ha > i been by that of Bolton and other places ; but tho groat majority of newspaper conductors wore such intolerable blockheads as not to fcnow

      whether potatoes grew on trees , turnips on quicknet hedges , or wheat on currant bushes . ( Loud laughter . ) And yet these were the men who vaunted themselves as influencing and leading public opinion . Much had been said respecting the fluctuations in tho price of crrn , and they had heard of Orders in Cpaucil , and so forth ; but he would ask theiadies present ( turning towards some females oh the platform ) whether they had not ctyiuany occasions givdn 2 s . to the baker for n stone of flour , but if ft shower or two fell in the evening of the same day they were told of the possibility of mildew '; and on the day following , without any Order in Council , or other governmental interference , they had to pay 2 s . 6 d . for the sania quantity . And if they usfced the b : iker the cause of this sudden rise , "Ah , '* 8 avs he ,

      with a knowing shako sf the head , " its owing to the heavy rain last night . " ( Laughter . ) But i 6 was at the will . of the baker that such advances took : p 2 ace , and bis thermometer was his oven . And if , in tho assurance of a plenteous harvest , a reduction in prica was culled for , it took three months to reduce the stone of flour a penny , whereas i , t took but a faw hours to raise it ejxpence . ( Hear , and laughter . ) He would , however , teach them how to bo independent both of the tariff and tbe baker , and his plans were , not thoao of . an unknown or obscure individual ; for in addition to having represented the eighth part of Iroland in three successive Parliaments , and possessing the first provincial newspaper in England , he had ample opportunities of testing their prttotibility . They had besn told that the country

      was suffering from over population , but three millions might be considered an excesa of population under a bad Government , whilst twenty millions would not be ao under a good one . ( Applause . ) He would take a million heads of families , of those who were starving ; and he would teach them , instead of being dependent on public compassieu or Qneen ' s begging letters , to acquire a sufficiency by their own effort ? . Suppose , tea million acres of land wqre lat to one million beads of families , that would be providing for more than seven millions of peoplo ; aud after living upon the produce , it would leave a surplus to be brought into themarket of more thtatlie whole foveiKn trade of the country had hitherto produced— ( hear , hear . ) A man , with u wife and ten chUdrtn , renting tan acres of land at full value ,

      would , by 280 days of labour , be able to provide amply for his fa : ail 7 , and have , at the close of the year , twenty pounds of wool shorn from his own sheep —not beasta , as had been stated by the Bolton foolto manufacture into clothing for his household ; twenty yards of lfnyn from , his own flax ,, and £ 40 in his poefcet . Tnat would make him independent of the baker ; tho- rain would not matter somuch then—( cheers aatl LiuabUr . ) This waa no fanciful theory , biit a fact which he had proved . Last year tlie exports of this country amounted to £ 53 , 000 . only , but if the working men were allowed to develop its resources , there would be £ 100 , 000 , 000 or £ 15 <} , 000 , 000 , to " spend annually iu home manufactures —( hear , hear . ) Every man could not

It was now time to examine tbe ^ Charter , and two great objects of it were—first , to destrey tho monopoly of land ; ami , secondly , in place of farms et fiftstn hundred or two thousand acres , to have it '¦ fairly portioned ., so that every man might have sufficient for the wants of himself and family —( hear , hear . ) This would in truth render England a glorious land—a land worth living for , and worth dyipg for- —( loud _ cheera . ) C iuld he place before them a more fascinating point of the Charter than this , whioh contended tor the restoration

      of mans inherent right ? He felt convinced that the Charter would , if adopted , tend almost immeasurably to increase the resources of tha country ; whilst it at the same time caused a more equal distribution of its wealth ; and if he ( Mr .

The evils of the present system bad been forcibly exposed by that friend of the people , the late Henry Hnnt ; who , during his life ; had been subject to undeserved odium by the wealth-monopolisers ; but his principles were now in the ascendant , and this was a far more gratifying tribute than the possession of ephemeral fame . A doubt had been expressed as to the poasibility of effecting such extensive changes , and the Corn Laws bad been citod as an instance , but the same power that could carry the Corn Laws could carry their repeal tomorrow , and so it would be with other

      abuses . Bat there never yet had been , in the history of any natien , a measure for the benefit of the psople emanating from a Government , which invariably r&fused to grand the just demands of the multitude , until ir beheld them knit together in order te obtain their rights , and then it might give way . Let them look at tbe Charter ; it and its supporters had formerly been termod low , and ; had been despised and contemned by the shopkeepers and the aristocracy of ehopboys ; for there was an aristocracy of shop-feoys as well as an aristocracy of land , or an aristocracy of tha Church ; aud the less removed a person was from the station of those beneath him , in general the more insolent and overbearing he became—( hear , hear . ) Why had they knit themselves together ? It was in order to cast a blight

      npon and destroy that infernal system which , was daily becoming more intolerable and difficult of endurance . They wete now in the tenth year of refotm , and what did they behold ? a deficient revenue , a war in China , and a war in Afftjhanistan . TheDulteof Hamilton bad , in the House of Peers , termud him ( Mr .

      up his ears like a full-bred donkey , when he ( Mr . O'Connor ) told him that the Queen Dowager was receiving £ 2 , 000 per week ; that the King of Belgium was receiving £ 50 , 000 a year ; that the King of Hanover was also in the receipt of a large sum yearly ; and that the whole of this money came from the pockets of English sul . jects . But , after bearing tbese facts , he very innocently and justly inquired what the Belgians and Hanoverians wanted with Kings , if they were no't' able to support them —( hear , haar , hear . ) Again observe , how beautifully royalty teaches morality .

Had the Queen no corner In the Palace for her husband but he must have £ 30 , 000 a-year , wrung from a starving populatioh ? Had she no Bpare knife and fork at her table for her aged mother , instead of further draining an impoverished nation for her support ? ( Hear , hear . ) He himself would advocate the principle of throwing the people on thoir own resources , but first clear the State of idl . era .

The readera of the Northern Star have ba 4 frequent opportauitiea of judging of the msrits of his writinga for nearly four years , and previous to that be . bad served the cause of humanity in other papers gratuitously , and at considerable sacrifice . His incarceration in Durham gaol , tor the publishing of his tract on the Five Points made him first ' Reneralli' known : to tho Chartist public . Having incurred the displeasure of his parents through bis principles , he was obliged to- leave the comforts of a luxurious borne , and has since been obliged to buffet the wavea of adversity amid severe illness and many extraordinary difficulties .

      Mr . Watkins is tho author or several tracts in the cause , and of the plays of John Frost , Wat Tyler , &c . Our brothers , ' the masons , while on strike , always received the benefit of his pen , and he has ever been ready to advanca our principles in the metropolis . : Wa have seen him , though nursed in i . filaence , patiently bearing privation , such aa frequently fail to the lot of the most unfortunate of pur fellow woi king men .
