      1 SANCHESTKB . —CxSPSSTEBS HifL . —A disenssjon npon the proprietv of amalgamatiDg the land question with the agitation for the Charter took place in the large ante-room of the above Hall , on Sunday afternoon last . The attendance was numerous and respectable , and the whole business was conducted with the greatest harmony . Several persons having expressed their opinions , the subject was adjourned for further discussion on Sunday next , the chair to be taken at half-past two . o'dock in the afternoon . Gs the evening of the same day , the large Hall was densely crowded in every part by a highlyrespectable audience . The proceedings commenced by onr numerous and efficient choir singing a Chariisfc Hymn ; after which , Mr . O'Higgins ^ letters to

      Lord EGot were read from the Star . Daring the reading the most breathless attention pervaded the vast assembly , only interrupted by expressiOBS oi the deepest sympathy for a people subjected to the unmerited persecution and heartless cru « Jty so vividly pourtrayed by Mr . O'Higgina . The Chairman then introduced Mr . James Xieach , who was received with every possible mark of respect , hlr . Leach commenced by thanking hi 3 audience fox the kind reception he always met when addressing his Manchester friends , and proceeded , in a style peculiarly his own , to expose the consummate hypocrisy of the men who , although they call themselves anti-monopolists , and make great pretensions to philanthropy , are the greatest enemies against which the working classes

      haxe to contend . He gave a description of the many stratagems made nse cf to effect reductions in the price of labour ; and shewed , by arguments the most dear and convincing , that nothing short of the Charter would enable the toiling millions to . effectually resist farther encroachments upon their only property . He concluded with a powerful appeal to his hearers to enrol themselves as members of the National Charter Association , and thereby prove their love for those sacred principles of which he was the humble advocate . Mr . Leach sat down amidst long-contisued plaudits . We feel proud in having to state ibaf the appeal made by Mr . Leach was not made in vain , for at the close of the lecture twenty * six persons joined the Association .

      OVBB DAHWSN , -Camp Meetikg at Bull Hm . —On Sunday last , the Chartists of Blackburn and Bolton held a camp meeting at this place ; and , notwithstanding the day was very unfavourable , the meeting was a bumper . It had been previously arranged that . the Bolton friends should hold a meeting at the village of Turton , on their way , at eleven o ' clock in the forenoon ; after which they would move in a body forward to Bull HilL Bat owing to the very heavy rain , it was-found impossible'to hold the meeting . The speakers were therefore compelled to put up at the Globe Inn until it was time to proceed on their journey to meet the Blackburn friends . About one o ' clock , Sol began to show his face , giving promise of a fine afternoon . The

      people , therefore , began to prepare for the road , all their proceedings being narrowly watched by police in plain clothes . All things being ready , and hundreds of people waiting to see them start , Mr . Dixon jumped into a vehicle , and addressed the assembly for about half an hour , and was listened to with the greatest attention , with the exception of a little interruption from a drunken farmer , who resides at Tnrton Tower , and who had been boasting that he was ihe chief constable of Turton . One of the inspectors of the police told him that if he did not behave himself , he would be under the necessity of having him locked up . This had the effect of making the man , who an hour before was swaggering tha ; he wa 3 the master of all the police , slink away ,

      stripped of all his pretended autbonty . Mr . Dixen told them as the wet had prevented them from holding their intended meeting , he would , if it was fine when heTernrBed in the evening , address them npon the all-important subject of Chartism and its objects . Having arrived at Bull-hilL it was a pl .-asing sight to see the hardy sons of toil "wending their way up the tallies and over the lulls to the appointed spot were the meeting was to be holden , which was marked outby a flag fluttering in the breeze . The people were not a little amused to see the stir amongst the peace-preservers . Police inspectors driving about in gigs , giving their instructions to the privates , who were all in plain clothes , except one who drove one of ihe gigs . In fact it appeared that

      thty were afraid that the Chartists were going jo take ihe mountain , called Black Hill , away on their backs : for one of the county magistrates had demeaned himself by coming in the character of a SPY upon otter men ' s actions , being diussed up is the GjlBB CF A BSOBES E 0 W 5 DROVES . Mr . Waloh , from Bbtkbwn , was UEanimously called to the chair , and he opened the meeting by giving out an appropriate hymn , which was sung in grand sijle * After this he addressed them tor a stort time and then introduced Mr . Mickle , from Blackburn , who addressed them npon ihe necessity of Organization , and the inculcating the principle of brotherly kindness amongst each other . He also told the meeting that it was

      necessary to have an ExecnHve as 3 governing head 5 but unless they attended to the Organization of their various- localities , it would all be to no nse . Mr Miekie concluded with an earnest appeal to them to bestir themselves in earnest in the great work of a nation ' s freedom . The chairman then introduced Mr . Dixon , from Manchester , who said , when he looked upon that vast assembly , be could not for one moment believe that they were all enrolled Chartists . In this and all other mixed assemblies , there were persons of different opinions , and parties who came for different objects . Some might come out of curiosity , andsomew ridicule ; whilst others might come for the more manly purpose of hearing what Chartism was , and thus judge for themselves ;

      but there were others who came for none of these purposes , but to watch the speaker ; and , if in the heat of the moment he should drop an unguarded word , to catch that and take it to their employers to see if they conld make " sedit ion" of it . He < Mr . Dixon ) was glad to see men of this description on hi 3 r ight and on his left ; and also one for his footman—daughter ) . He hoped that they would take heed to what he said , and give a correct account to those that sent them . He was glad to see them there ; hut he must say that he would rather have seen them in their own clothes , than in the garb of spies . Be would really assure them though , that the Chartists did not fear spies . Tneir actions were all above board , and therefore ,

      so far as tnty were concerned , the spy system wa 3 useless . But as they were there , and being the guardians of the public peace , he hoped that they would neither break it themselves ,. nor allow others to do so . Mr . D . then went into an ^ explanation of the principles and objects of the Chartists , and addressed the people for near two hours . He concluded by calling upon the people to commence doing their own work , or it would never be done . The Chairman gave out another hymn , and the meeting separated . When the Bolton Chartists entered Tnrton on their way back , the people were awaiting their arrival . Mr . Dixon addressed them , according to promise . The friends arrived back to Bolton beiWixi eight and nine o'clock m the evening , highly delighted with their day ' s pleasure .

      BBlGHTDIi , Sussex . —A meeting wa 3 holden at the Cap of liberty , Portiand-fctreet , on the 30 » h nit ., Mr . Fiest in the chair . Proposed by Mr . Page , seconded by Mr . Williams , " That the members of the Council of the National Charter Association residing in Brighton , approve of the suggestion in theater for appointing a Committee pro tern ,, at Manchester , for the Victim Fntd ; and that the said Committee should be empowered to receive and disburse all monies in hand ; and we recommend that the " victim Fund be equally distributed amongst the sufferers in the Chartist cause—snch distribution being regulated according to the number of family and actual wants in each case . As soon as we know that the committee is appointed , we will trausmii a contribution forthwith . "—Carried

In £ be evening , from Simethy , on " the duty t > f Bishops . " He gave a trua delineation of the character of tee present race of dignitaries of theChnrch , enumerating all the deadly weapons they employ against the liberties of the people His ifiscourse occuj ) ied nearly two hours in delivery ; it was a masterpiece of argumentative reasoning , on the absurdity of an established priesthood .

"

      NEWCASTLE . —Mr . Kydd lectured in the Chartists' Hall , on Sunday ovening , " on the existing government , and the various suggestions of political economists to remove tbe existing distress . " He contended that no substantial benefit would zeerne to the people without a governmental change . The Charter Suffrage would empower the people to redress their own grievances , and without that , he believed , that the condition of the whole industrious classes would never be what it ought He likewise advanced many able arguments in defence of his position- Mr . K . will lecmris again in the same place , on Sunday evening next , at seven o ' clock .

      HAI 5 BAW MOOR . —Mr . William Dixon delivered a lectore to the Chartists of this place on Friday last . The audience was large , respectable , and attentive , much more ao than usual . - We trust that the princples of Democracy are taking root in this priestrid ^ en village . The tbanka of the meeting were given to the Chairman and Lecturer , and the meeting separated . —On Saturday evening , Mr ; Dixon delivered an address to his old companions , the Coal Miners , when a good number joined tbe Miner's Association . HOCHXXAI 1 S . —A camp meeting was holden at Lane Head , in accordance with previous arrangement , on Sunday last . Owing to the wetness of the day , the attendance was not very large . There were , however , three of the police present , taking notice of the proceedings . The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Mills , Buucr-wortb , and Baigb , who forcibly expounded the principles of Chartism , and save the police to uuderfctand that tbeir presence was not necessary to maintain ; the peace , for Chartists never broke it .

      CARLISLE . —Meeting op the Council of the CHABTiST ASSOCIATION . —On Sunday evening last a meeting of the above named body took place at their room . Wo . 6 , John Street , Caldewgate ; Mr . Bofeert Graham in tbe c&ur . After Bomeipieliminary business was disposed of , the members of-the Council took up the subject of the Victim Fund , the necessity of which ¦ was warmly advocated ; after which the following resolntion was moved by Mr . John Gilbertson , and seconded by Mr . John Mc'Qnire , and carried unanimously : — " That a collection be entered into , on Saturday evening , August 12 th , in aid of the Victim Fund , and that the money subscribed for that purpose be placea in the hands of the Treasurer , and be sent off from time to time , or as the General Victim Fund may require . "

      This is a step in the right direction , which would have beenrtaien much sooner by the people , had they really known the absolute necessity of it ; Had a plan , which we laid down many months ago , been laid before Mr . O'Connor and others at Lancaster ; as it ought to have bt * ni we have every reason to believe , that long ere this a well-managed Victim Fund wonld have been in operation . What was our plan ? IX was this . ThBt the Ghartist Conncils in every locality , where there were victimB , make a regular and faithful return of tbe number , giving tbeir names , their / wives , ( if any ) and the number of their families ; also a full and particular statement of the eircamstances of the various families , and to what extent they ought to be assisted . This return we proposed having signed by tte chairman and

      Secretary of each Association , and sent to the Central Committee , who wonld see it their duty to make a faithful record of all the returns made to them . Being thus In possession of accurate inforn . ation , the Central Committee would ste the necessity nf publishing in the columns of the Northern Star , a full account of all the cases , the txtent of ihtir necessities , and the amount likely to be reqnired iy the Committee , to meet those necessities In such a way as to save all parties involved from suffering anything like want . This must now be done' ¦ without delay , and done 100 , in that tffsctual way which will seeure to the Committee in Manchester , tbe

      means of acting with vigour and effect . The wife and family of no good honest Chartist should be allowed to suffer ; more especially when he himself is suffering the worst of treatment in sowe cold and bnmid cell . No ; every thing should be done to afford him comfort and consolation , by endeavouring to dispel the cheerless gloom of his dungeon and to calm the perturbation of his tronbled mind , by affording that support which his eirenmstances so imperiously demands . . Let him see that those who have bitberto received snpport and succour fronvhini , be not allowed te pine in want and misery , and become tbe prey of the cold-blooded muster in a BasUle , where

      " Smi-es are scarce as cooling wells Upon the arid "wild ! Where frowns are withering as the ll hells " Are to the factory child . " We need not pursue the picture any farther , for it is familiar to all thoughtful and intelligent Chartists . The wife of the patriotic and talented Cooper , is about to be dragged from a sick bed and thrown Into the street , because her house rent and taxes are not paid . Forbid it Casnism ; forbid it every feeling of gratitude and respect -which the Chartist body generally owe to this man ' s able and honest advocacy of their principles . Why has Cooper got so severe a' sentence ? because hB bad the boldness and ability to drag tbe monster of corruption from bis den , and exhibit him in all bis hideousneaa to the world .

Ihe visit of Mr . Doyle has done great good to the Chartist cause in this town . '

      GtASGOW . —At a meeting held in the Young Men ' s Academy , College-street , on Friday evening , Mr . Burns in the chair , the rules of the Association , as amended , were unanimously adopted ; after which almost every one present enrolled their names , and notwithstanding the tickets being now issued at a uniform charge of one penny a-year , many paid sixpence and some a shilling . Mr . Colquhoun appealed 10 their more fortunate friends , not to take advantage of the penny charge , but to come forward in a spirit worthy of the ; cause in which they were engaged . He intended paying as much for his ticket as he , did last year ; the penny system had been recommended to Buit the altered circumstance of many of their best friends ; he paid balf-a- crown for his ticket last fear , and he would pay the same sum this year . The ordinary business being disposed of , Mr . James

      Adams introduced the subject of Mr . Hill's visit to Glasgow , and after paying a high compliment to that gentleman for his unswerving advocacy of the people's cause ; he moved that a soiree in honour of Mr .

Millar and others , and carried by acclamation ; A committee was then appointed to carry out the resolution . A vote of thanks to the chairman , and the meeting quietly broke up .

Lord Casipbeli , Baid it was a breach of the privileges of the House ; and he doubted whether Lord Brougham could give notice to bring the matter before the House next session . He thought tb , ey must deal with it then .

      Lord Brougham said he would put that aside . He bhould proceed at law and prosecute , and they should then see whether the law had any protection to afford the Members of Parliament .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Wednesday . The adjourned debate on the Irish Church was resumed by , Mr . Thelawney , who advised the House to take into its deliberate consideration , that they must either abolish tha Established Church in Ireland , or submit to the alternative of civil war . Sir R . H . ItJSLia followed , criticising Mr . Ward ' s plan for redistributing the revenues of the Irish establishment . The member for Sheffield , though belonging to' tHe established Church m England , would coolly rob the sister Church of 17 s . 6 d . out of every pouad sterling of her income—wonld put a halter round her neck , with the other end of the rope in the hands of her bitterest enemies , and drag her to dishonour and destruction .

      The Earl of Listowel warmly and emphatically condemned tfie past policy of England towards Ireland , the blame of which he did not wish to throw on any existing party , but which now required to be dealt with vigorously and impartially , if we wished to retain the affections of the people , Or to preserve the union . Lord Bernard ' contended for the . apostolicity of the Church of England in Irejand , which he supported , not because it was the Church of the majority of the empire , but because it was essential to the welfare of a Protestant state to maintain the ascendancy of the Protestant Church . Mr . Ccchbane said , that the maintenance of the Union was involved in that of the Church .

      Mr . Villiebs Stuart contended that the question of the Established Church in Ireland was not one of religion but of property— -not of faith but of money . Mr . Hardy , considering that the primary function of the established Church in Ireland was to preach the Gospel , defended it on scriptural grounds While he was speaking , notice was taken that there were not forty members present , which proving to be the case , the House adjourned at eight o ' clock .

      Thursday , Aug . 3 . A long conversation ensued on the " counting out " of the House the night before , when it appeared that the cause was the non-attendance of the " liberal " English and Irish Members . A conversation also ensued on the Scotch Church Bill , and then somo unimportant business followed .

      "Rebecca" still continues at work . Toll-gates disappear as if , by magic . The troops are harrassed beyond measure ; but they always happen to be just where they are not taunted ! and the parties they are out in quest of always appear upon the spot just vacated by Uie soldiery . The parties who were apprehended , as announced in our last , have all been holden to bail . _ The main charge that seems to be against them is that of assaulting Captain Napier , the officer . As for tho " information" said to have been given by a

      " Rebeccaite" traitor , it is held not to be worth one pin . His wife says he was in bed with her at tho time the Tolgoed toll-bar was demolished ; and which he has hoaxed the police into the belief that ho was present at . She also says that he is not quite baked in his upper garret but soft as he may . be , the police seem to be softer still . Respecting the present position of affairs we have received the following by the last post on Thursday , from a correspondent of our own , whom we thank for his attention , and trust this is not tha last of his favours : —

      Swansea . ^ Sir Robert Alarmed . —To-morrow ( Wednesday ) being the day fixed for the re-examir . atioa of the parties charged with a participation in the doings of Rebecca , no small anxiety is fahewu by the " powers that be , ' lest an outbreak of some kind or other skould take place upon that day . We previously had a strong body of infantry ( more than the barracks could accommodate ) , stationed in the town ; but this powerful force was deemed Wholly inadequate to protect the liega subjects of " our Sovereign lady the Queen , " against the formidable powers of the all conquering Rebecca . So we have to-day been favoured with a > fresh importation , consisting of a troop of the 4 th Light Dragoons—fellows with long mustachios and

      longer swords—and two additional companies of infantry , who look as if they required some Welsh mutton to restore vigour to their exhausted frames . I waa up at Newport last week and saw some " flying artillery , " destined , no > doubt , to mow down or to blow up Rebecca ' s daughters , whtn thty catch them . In short , the whole district is in a fermtui . Our worthy Mayor , honest man , is at his wit's end . A few days ago , some haymakers were returning from their ' worki carrying a comrade shoulder high , who had actually the hardihood to cry " Rebecca for ever > . " But as this was , of course , a ' species of high wesson , the Mayor , it is said , struck the delinquent with a cane , gave him over to the fokcb , and afterwards held him to bail . A subscription is going on to enable the party to prosecute the Mayor for an assault . Yesterday I had occasion to call at the police office , and I found

      those worthies furbishing up old pistols , each with a face as long as a fiddle , and appearing mortally afraid that some serious onslaught was about to be made . A lot of arms have been found in the possession of a respectable person in this neighbourhood , the investigation about which has been g tnotly nrivate ; but the party has been held to bail . The copper-makers turn out on Monday next ; when I am informed that an attempt will be tried to make it a Chartist strike . Should such an attempt be made I shall certainly be there , and oppose it all in my power , as I think this kind of inn has cost us dear enough already . X forgot to say that the testimony against the Rebecoaites is not worth a straw , as the only witness against them was a man who was quietly in his bed while the whole game was played . At least his wife saya so ! Should anything of importance occur tomorrow , 1 shall send you word in time fox a second edition .
