SorTH LaXCUSBIBE DELEGATE MeEIXSG . —On Snnoaj tie South Lancashire County Ccnucii held ites u-cal monthly meeting in the . National Charter Assoeaation [ Room , Brown-street , Manohertcr . After iran ? £ cung their local business , the following address k > their constituents was agreed to , and ordered to bs ssoitto the Northern Star for insertion : — The address of the delegates of South Lancashire to ihe Chartists of that district .

      Bbotheb Dfjiccrais , —It is with mingled feelings c * trrow and delight , that we once more adores * yen . With delight at the proud position we occupy as an association of men combined together for the feign and holy pnrpose of combatting tyranny in all its varied forms ; and therebyshewing to the ¦ world that we are actuated by a pure spirit of pailanthrcpy and patriotism . proving inconte&ably that ire have no other object in new but the emancipation of ourselves and fellow countrymen from the thraldom under which "sre and they hare so long laboured .

      Sorrowing thai ji i 3 our pamfal duty to call the attentioE of the varions localities of this district , to the cars of those sterling friends of suffering iumaxfoy 3 ilr . Cooper and bis corn-patriot Mr . Hichartis . ¦ who are snfiixii ! g unheard of cruelties in the Stafford bdB , we , therefore , call upon every locality in South Lancashire to bestir them and call meetings immedjsieiy to petition Pariiament in their behalf , ana to send snch petitions forwith to T . S . Dunconibe , S ^ q . MJ . ior presentation . To ihe rescue , brother Chartists , and let thwe sot be a town , Tillage , nor hamlet in the county but

      what sends its petition in behalf of these brave fellows who have so long , so nobly , and so faithfully fought the batiks of a suferisg and enslaved people "We also regret that a few of the localities have not sent xbtir delegates so regularly to the county conntSi . S 5 they formerly did . " We hope , Aexefore , tiat the time thai is passed will more than Fcffice , and that for she future they will see the necessity of having iheir representatives present u > assist in devising plans for the carrying out of those principles which if adopted , will make the homes of Englishmen , cottatts of contentment , and our eoantry glorious , iappv au ! free .

      Brethren , the task of addressing you on this allimportant snej 3 d , has so often fallen to car lot , tbat anything we can advance , by way of appealing to your k » Te of country , would be littte more than useless K-pctSion . Onr bnsiness with yon now is to point t ? at % h& necc&aty of adopting some practical plan , in-order to seenre tbe object which has cost us bo much labour , mosey , and suffering to carry it to its present proud , th&Bgh in some measure disorgan ized s ^ a » . Ftrrf , iten , it is out particular desire that each loc&HiY will chocse a delegate to attend a meeting

      of the fccnih Lan <^ hixe delegates , to be holden in the Kdtional Charter Association Boom , 3 rown-Btreet , Manchester , en Sunday , the 18 th of June , at Pif v ' clock is ihe afverntoa , when , we trust , this call will be responded to in a manner worthy of ihe ^ dfatoeraey of this emporium of liberty . That each locality will not fail to instruct their representative as to what course they would deem it advisable to pnrsue in order to place this division of the country in that } oaition which its importance in this truly great movement so eminbntly entities it to . The delegates will be required to come fully prepared to vote upon the following questions : —

      let . i onr opinions relative to the election of a new Lxeeuuve Council for the Association . 2 td . The engaging a leeturer for this division of ibj&ccnnry . 3 r ^ as to the workings of the present local lecturers' plan , and whether it should be continued orjBtncrwise . 4 * . h . To give your opinions of the propriety of holdirg Chartiit cinsp meevinga during the summer months in various parts of the district 4 and whether > ou think they would be attended with good result- jo oar movement or not , ^ We hope you wfll not fail to f » ive the above questions that cousiderxtion which their imponanee requin- * , as much depends upon the decision which too may come to .

M * In'Hy , who would next addr ss the meeting . Mr . M * lmlty was received with loud cheering , and commenced by relating the ravages made by William lll , in Ireland , and the good faitl , (] , ) with which the government of that monarch kept the treaty of Limerick . He showed that in less than two months after they received the sanction of the great

      seal of hngland , tbo treaty waB broke , and his Majesty ' s peaceable subjects of Ireland , were unceremoniously robbed , not only of their goods and chattels , but also of their lands and tenements . By the treaty of Limerick , Ireland was to hold her own Church , were allowed to worship their God according to the dictates of their own consciences , and many other immunities both civil and religious . Were they ^ allowed to exercise thoso benefits ! No , no , was reiterated from all part of the large room . Mr .

Mr . M'Shane was also cheeted at the end of each sentence , and sat down amidst enthusiastic peals of applause . Mi . Brophy , of Dublin , said tho reason that be stood before them that evening in defence of Repeal is , that he as a :

      tradesman , as well as thousands of his countrymen , are forced to leave their native land in quest of that in aforeign country , which his own could produce in abundance , had it not been withheld from them by a government who had no kindred feeling with the best interest of the country . Mr . B . related the means resorted to by the English aristocracy , to bribe the aristocracy of Ireland to sell their country to them . Mr . B . here mentioned the names of individuals who were thns bribed , and showed that tho Union-cost England £ 3 , 000 , 000 . in bribery . Mr . B . contended that Irelaud would never be what she ought jto be , until she was restored to her proper owners , the whole people of Ireland . If Bhe had a parliament of her own , the representatives of the whole adult male population , then she would be what nature designed her , " the most fertile and happy nation under the canopy of heaven , " but not until then . *•

      IRELAND . Repeal in the Army . —The following particulars of a military affray appear in the Cork Examiner of Monday : — " A considerable degree of excitement and alarm was created last evening botwen the hours of nine and ten o ' olonk , in tho neighbourhood of Patrick ' s-bridge and King-strcjt , from the conduct ot ' " a great number of soldiers belonging to the 56 th and 45 ih regiments , the majority of whom were intoxicated . Several attempt ? were made by the sober portion of the military to induce their comradei to go quietly to barracks , but all in vain , fores and remonstrance being , alike unavailing . They then fought amongst themselves , but happily with more fury than effect ; and though numberless blows were offered , ano . heavy falls received , Still there > vere

      few real injuries inflicted . This conduct naturally attracted a considerable crowd , which increased every moment , the streets being thronged as usual , on Sunday . Some of the police belonging to tho King-street station were present , but did not at first interfere , hoping that tho intoxicated roldiorswoold have been brought away quietly by their Bober comrades , particularly ss a number of the 45 h , who are nearly all teetotallers , volunteered their services to that effect . But as all their efforts were unavailing , and the row increased in violence , the police , who fortunately were reinforced by constables from the Tuokey-street station , succeeded in arresting four men of the 56 th Regiment , and bringing them to the Kihg-at . ataxion , in doing which ,

      one of the constables ( No . 98 ) received severalsevt-re blows from the soldier whom he bad arrested , and who struck him with the breastplate of his belt . This constable had a narrow escape of his life , for on approaching the provision stores of the Messrs . Burke , the soldier pushed him against the low wall of the very deep area which gives light to the lower cellar , and but for the timely iotorferRnceof a woman , who oaught him by the skirts of his coat as he was hanging down , h > ad foremost , h 6 would have fallen down a height of ge Feral feet . Mast of the soldiers were extremely young ,: and were evidently Irish , by their accent , aq well as by their expressions , for they repeatedly shouted : out— " Hurrah for Repeal!—by G—we must have ; the Repeal !*'•—and numberless

      other exclamations which proved beyond doubt that they were far from indifferent to the present movement in favour of Irish independence . During the whole time many hundred people were assembled , who seemed U be greatly excited . Owing , however , to the praiseworthy exertions of our respeotod fellow citizen , Mr . J > Haekett , to whom the police ought to be much indebted , the people were induced to disperse , without the least violence . At a late hour one , of tho officers of the 45 th with a party arrived , arid took the four soldiers who had been previously arrested by tho police up to the barracks . We understand that his worship the Mayor ,, and Cuptain Gun have this ^ a-y waited on Sir O . Carey , and that an investigation into the circumstances < fetaikd above will be speedily held . "

      Demonstration in Drogheda , —Droghed * , June 6 , 1843—The patriotic men of Drogheda and the adjoining localities havo done their duty nobly to themselves , their leader , and their country . The demonstration which has just taken place has transcended far and away a ! l similar political exhibitions heretofore witnessed in a locality long distinguished far its fidelity to the cause of the people , and is well deserving of a distinguished place among tho many glorious manifestations of popular feeling by which this eventful year fbas been illumined and illustrated . The Liberator left town at eight o ' clock on Monday morning in his private travelling chaise , accompanied by Mr . Steele . Triumphal arches were thrown across the road on which he passed . At BaIrothery , Santry , $ words , and various other places , there was scarcely a single house , cottage , or cabin , on the way-side which was not tastefully hung yyitfi

      laurel , in honour of his vigit . At half-past ten o ' clock he arrived at Balbriggan , where he was entertained at a public breakfast , at which many of the surrounding gentry wore gueBts . The Rev * Mr . Fleming presided , land several other clergy « tvere present . After breakfast an addres-s was presented , on the part of the inhabitants of Fingal , to the Liberator , by — Mathews , Esq ., of Tannor ' s-water . Mr . O'Connell having replied in eloquent and fervid language to the addr « BB , took leave of his Balbriggan friends , a * j | $ a&ud tho cheers of a great multitude prooeeow'on his way to Drogheda . At Julienstown he was met by tho tradeB of Drogheda , bearing their appropriate banners ; also by several talented bands , which walked by the side of his earriage . The procession , which preceded him into tbe town , was throo miles in length , and the road was crowded 80 densely that not an inch of the surface was seen . -The numbers of those who took

      part in the procession may be averaged on a moderate calculation at 170 , 000 . — Freeman ' s Journal . More Troops . —The Belfast Chronicle of Monday says— " Two companies of the 43 rd Regiment , at present quartered hero , left town on Saturday , f . * r Dungannon ^ in aid of the civil power , and two more , proceed thither this morning . The men did not attend church yesterday , divine service being performed instead in tho Barrack-square by the ReV . R . Oulton . Double sentries were mounted at night , with sixty rounds of ball cartridge . We are not aware what has given rise to the adoption of these measures here . " Three steamers arrived in Dublin on Monday , from Liverpool with the 2 nd Dragoon Guards ( Queen ' s Bay ' s ) . Lord da Greyrodo down to the Slorth Wall to witness the debarkation .

      Superseding of Magistrates . —In compliance with the expressed desire of the undernamed gentlemen , writs of supersedeas for their removal from the commission of the poace have been issued , namely , ' W . i \ ' Finn , ( brother-in-law of Mr .

It was found diificult to hold an inquest , in consequence of the two former victims , Beale and Jones , being witnesses te his ill-treatment .

      KNUTSFORD GAOL . TO THE EDITOR O » THE MORNING CHRONICLE . Sir , —After the manner in which my fortune and character nave been assailed , I hope I am not making an unreasonable request in craving the indulgence of yoar inserting the following observations , in answer to ^ hose of Mr . Tatton Eg erton , who seems to think he can only vindicate tho conduct of the Cheshire magistrates by misrepresen ting mine . This gentleman j has , according to the report in your pxper of the 24 th . ventured to characterize my petition as " one tissue of falsehoods . " Sir , thrse aro hard terms ] to apj » ly to a clergyman gradsated at Cambridge land of thirty years standing , whoss

      character fyr truth wa 3 never before impugned , and who has in his possession the testimonial of the bishop of the diocfisejand , among others , of those who are now his defamer ^ , signed only nine months ago—^ to S 37 nothing of those of all the cliirgyraen undor whom h

      On the 231 he commenced his hardy and cruel assertions , by siating he did not know who the magistrate wa * 9 by whom I was warned of the insecurity of my tenure of office , although the gentleman ' d statement of this warning was made opouly before the qjuartar sessions court , consisting of forty magistrates ] and as many bystanders as tho room could hold , j Mr . Daveuport s words were these , " I told this gentleman , who was a perfect stranger to me , that if , as reported , his political principles differed from those of the chairman and tho magistrates , ho iv . ould do well to keep them to himself if he wished to keep his situation , and that no opportunity would be neglected of getting rid cf him . " Now , this magistrate ' s statement having been made thus publiofV , and published in the county papers ,

      was pretty well known during the last six weeks by every body ! else except Mr . Tatton Egerton . He proceeds to complain that this was a libel upon the magistrates ] whereas it was merely a prediction private , and which , unfortunately , proved ia a few months to be too well founded ; for , from tho bsginniiitf , I was received with coldaess and distance in manner , land for merely obeying an impulse of charity in indioting two letters , one to ascertain an important fact , and the other to procure alleviation for a prisoner suffering under the sentence of a military tribunal , I was brought before a committee of inquiry , who agreed iu acquitting mo of all culpability . Yet the chairman , who had stated in open

      coart that I [ had been acting very improperly , and that he had no confidence in me , neglected his duty ia not { announcing my acquittal to the public , before whonl he had bo unwarrantably accused me . Mr . Tattdn Egorton next ventured to deny the truth of myj having been reproved by the chairman for having reported on my journal the repeated absence of ihe governor from prayere . And why does ho deny it ? Because tbe party interested in exculpating bimseif from the extraordinary language he used on that occasion finds it convenient to disown it , and Without any other reason . If the order for the gaoler to attend prayers was given it was never obeyed , and he told me he would not obey any such orders . ] One of the principal charges against me being that I had withheld information from the

      magistrates ; I answered thi ? charge by a statement of the facts which I did communicate , namely , the employment of prisoners in the unwholesome labour of emptying sewers for the gaoler ' s profit ( after he had received £ 100 a year added to his salary in lieu of perquisites )] a fact which had for three months been on my journkl without the magistrates having taken any notice of it . 2 . The selling milk from his own cows to tho [ officers of the gaol , contrary to statute . 3 . That he fused the prisoners and the coun'y property in putting new tires and new apokss and bushes ( to his chaise wheels . 4 . Employing the prisoners in his hoube and those of the subordinate ! officers . 5 . The communication

      of the gaoler ' s servants with prisoners . 6 . The using the prisoners in copying out income-tax papers . After statin ]* thus much , the chairman } who complain ; of my want of readiness to communicate , said , " There is no use in asking him any more questions . You inay retire ! " Mr . Tatton E ^ erton says , that this communication was not made , until after the substano ' o of it was already known to the magistrates . If that were true , which it is not , why did they ask for jit t And why was I never a « ked for it before ? And , again , why do they venture , in their reports to the Secretary of State , to accuso ma of not communicating with them , when , on their first applying to \ me for information , I gave it iu such

      abundance tbat the chairman would hear no more I may here [ observe , thai when a gentleman in my position , who is treated with reserve and aversion , and who observes that the gaoler could do nothing amiss in the ] eyes of the justices , and that whenever I reported his breach of duty I ouly met with rebuke instead of approbation , it was hardly to be expected thatjl should be very communicative upon such matters . Mr . Tatton Egerton says that no evidence of j this statement was taken . Why they did not take this statement down is best known to themselves , j Hod they done so , it Would have somewhat interfered with their accusation against me for withholding ] information . Mr . T . Egerton ' s impartial justice overlooks the injustice done me at Chester ; and the fac * of the Chairman having put the question whether I should be dismissed unheard and

      without any ! written notice either to myself or to the magistrates j who , according to their own rules , could not entertain eueU a motion , nor would he trouble the house with the evidence of two of the worst culprits , whose evidence amounted to nothing . Shore , late . hpspital nurse , now holding another situation in the gaol ( and a servant to Mr . Loyd , one of the magistrates , and a visiting justice J spoke to my being but a short time at the hospital ; to which I replied that he was very seldom there , and never attended me in my visits to the prisoner ? , and could therefore be no judge of what happened . Kent ( the utterer of a forged note } , who was brought up to complain that I did not give him particular attention , has since reaped the ] reward of his testimony , by receiving greater indulgences , in addition to the gaoler ' s promise to try io get him a pardon .

      It is insinuated that , because labouring as I was under indisposition , I could only call on Mr . Roscoe , the magistrate ' s clerk , on Saturday , the loth April , at three o'clock , and again in the evening , and that against the advice . of my medical attendant , and did not ask for [ Mr . Roscoo'b clerk instead of himself , therefore I was not anxious to learn th . 8 nature of the testimony raked up from the sink of the gaol against me . j But I could not suppose that any man in Mr . Roscoe ' s confidential situation would leave

      such papersjin the hands of hia clerks ; and here I must express my gratitude to divine providence , that , watched as I must have been during the three yearn aud a | quarter of my residence in Knutsford , both in and } out of the prison , in which I passed , when necessary , an hour or two more than the regulations required of me , nothing has occurred to deprive me of [ the character I had previously borne , or the testimonials of my rospected diocesan , and of gentlemen of the first respectability in the county .

      Mr . Tatton Egerton stated that I had been reprimanded at the January meeting , 1841 , for inserting in my journal some strong remarks relative to the surgeon , viz ., "I found seventeen men and boys packed together , perfectly naked , in a small room , to rub for the itch , in which p lace they are kept night and day ; such a practice is disgusting and disgraceful in a Christian country , and contrary to decency and morality . " For this entry I was ordered to apologize toj the surgeon and the magistrates , for they considered it an insult to them , and a reflection on the surgeon . I have farther most positively and solemnly tolstate , that the revocation of the illegal order of the chairman , that I should confine my .-elf to my spiritual duties , was not communicated to me , either in words or writing , till the recent inquiry .

      The magistrates' report is otherwise incorrect in stating that ; I had been frequently , and in yain admonished ; for dissensions with the gaolers ^ ' Now , whenever there were dissensions they were from the gaoler ' s interference with my duties , and not from mine with his , and his manners and temper did not encourage -needless intercourse . Any dissension deserving reproof ought to have been recorded ; but , at my dismissal , no evidence or charge whatever of this kind- was made . Mr . Burgess never was reproved , noT j any inquiry into these supposed dissensions ever instituted .

      . - Such was the magistrates' fear of hearing any '• charge against the gaoler , that I was , at his sugges-* tion , ordere ' d to insert nothing in my journal till they I had seen it . f I When I was asked to tell them all tbat passed at 1 my interview with the inspector , I , of course , considered thai gentleman ' s observations to be included ; and I defended myself from the obligation of giving them by stating my want of authority to do so . But I did tell them ( when pressed ) what I had said , and could have told them more if I had not been stopped I have thus given an answer to Mr . Tatton Egerton , the insertion of which will greatly oblige . Your grateful and persecuted servant , W . Browns , M . A . 1

      folly and enwsetically alive to the ; things which concern jcur temporal , social , and political sa'vation ; that you are about to snap asunder tbose ^ egrarfing chain which have so long licked yen to tbe usurping mandates of fection , bound yon down mentally ; morally , and physically , axd cacie yon the veriest tools and slaves of designing taskmasters ; show thai you have made a solemn declaration fhat you will never tire in your noble exertions tall you have achieved your country ' s redemption , the redemption of yonr homesteads from oppression and misrnle , and that you will , by yeur own , and your fel-ow men's exertions , elevate ypnr own order above the rMieonr of despotism and tbe penalties of bondage ; you will then successfully show by your continued tebonrg , that you will finally secure to the human famDy , the greatest anionst of happiness human nature is cf pablo of ei'joying .

      It will be said by interested and other parties , tbat ibis can never be accomplished , tbat human nature ii so rank and depraved , that all Attempts to improve snd elevate it , mast end will eventually prove abortive and fruitless , that man most sit " patiently" down under an unbearable icad of want , degradation , and woe , that the great author of tha universe has wisely and solemnly decreed , that man must sit quietly down , in humble resignation , that he innst take rough cir , camBtances ( no matter of what nature they may be ); we tell tbe propounden of this highly injurious , prejudicial , pernicious- doctrine , that it is as Jalse as the bigotry and superstition of the daik ages . We appeal to any rational mind , if these dosm&s can stand for one moment in hostile array against these every day convinczng facts , that your homes once comfortable , when enjoying n more equitable remuneration for your skill , are

      rapidly becoming destitute of every article of domestic convenience ; misery , degradation , and wantsurronndyou in all your various pursuits . In vain you struggle to preserve tbe respectability of your families , the iron hard ol despotism strangles om every tffort to rescue them from poverty , and all its attendant calamities . Oh , sh&aie , sbame , npon tbe prostituted talent that is thns employed in prolonging and ; vainly endeavouring thus to defend tbe strong holds of oppression . Has heaven decreed that the idle , the pr . fligate rich , shall erjoy every blessing bestowed by art or nature , and that the industrious mechanic and inoffensive poor shall alone be the objects of divine vengeance ? Be far from us snch irreligous , impious , insulting mockery ; it is fraught with the mosttJangerons fatal effects to man and his institution , and the peace and well-being of soeiety . ,

      It is under these impressions that we have embraced tbe present opportunity of directing you to a sense of your duty . Since your representatives first met on your behalf many and . arduous , have been the struggles in which you had to engage in your different localities . At one time universally depreciated and disesteemed , pelted with the mud of scorn and opprobrium , by all not incorporated in your ranks , your motives * most unscrupulously maligned and misrepresented , tbe venal press marked its victims , spies were employed to conccct and convict , the pulpit thundered forth its denunciations , the bar showered torrents of miarepreseBtatior , and yeur best and noblest friends were imtcnrtd in a dungeon , because they possessed the boldness to

      denounce , and the virtue to morally combine , against the evils of the " system . " Tour own enthusiastic " Tattereall" now languishes in prison , simply because he exerted bis popularity -with the working classes , to the preBerv&tion of life and ptoperty . Seeing that these things have taken place , you are bound by every tie of " patriotism" and humanity , it behoves you as consistent persevering democrats , to gird on afresh the armour of truth and justice , and swear by the wrongs of your ceuntry , that you are determined to continue faithful to the end , t iaz yon will never cease in youi God-lifee nertions until signal and final success shall have ciowned yonr fcercnleMi efforts . Do this , and the work of persscniion is at end .

      Ours are the principles of the People ' s Charter ; whole and entire , they are immutable . They have floated majestically triumphant on tbe troubled surface of political contention , unanswered and irrefragable by all the argumentative powers that . sophistry has or can summon to its aid ; they will stand fit ench a thing should be ) amid tbe crash of matter and the wreck of worlds ; they would widen the foundations of stcifety , until the base shall have a breadth * capable of securing the just representation of every interest in the state , under whose just administration every man would sit down tinder hia ewn vine and fig tree , none daring to make him afraid .

      In conclusion , we implore of you to set your shoulders to the wheel , as if the legitimate straggle depended on your own ewrgy and union , j You can plead no excuse . Ton ha » e , on many occasions , by your petitions and resolution * , argued and enforced the justice of , and the necessity lor , the enactment of our political tenets , as the law of our sea-girt isle . Lei every Chartist endeavour to add one more te onr own ranks , to rosfirm one wavering mind . Xet every parent inculcate on tbe untutored mind of his offspring , the never-dying principles of liberty , the absolute necessity of good Government for the' preservation of ixiB liberty , and from a living desth , by protracted distress , and for those essential materials which make life desirable . By all and every means press forward to the mark of your high calling . Let every Chartist do his ows woik ; snd then soon , very - soon , shall we hear from the Tallin and mountain tops the glad shouts of Freedom .
