      Vr Friends , —Feeling a warm interest in any sab-• iCCt connected with tLe interests of the Working Ch-= ^ 7 1 liaveno ordinary pleasure in directing your in attention to a document addressed to your body } , \ a provisional eomciittce , elected to make arrangcmciiti for bring ing your cause before a Conference oi cr O wn delegates , on the 23 th of this month . T . verv man who takes pride in the progress that the caeition of Labour is now making , will be filled with tHe feeling only en perusing the document in question- A feeling of gratifying wonderment that such -. iecc of composition should emanate from the

      labour class . I have read it over again and again , J , j with a desire for brevity in all matters concern-• jig your iutcrcsts , 1 could net find a paragraph , science , line , cr word for erasure , without endangering its whcie merits , with the exception-of the iwo first clauses under the Lead ef " coxstiiutiox .

      jnc to address you at ali upon the sal * jeet ) , Iifer ss widely as nigfet from day from the ooHnni Uee . It is the only principle against -srhich loih you and I , m aur individual capacities , jiaTe been so long struggling . It is the principle of plurality voting—the principle of Sfeirge Bourne ' s ^ ct—the principle nnder which cliv . rch rates and odier unjust taxes hnvc beem imposed by the wealthy upon tlic poor . It -iray be urged , ? . ndnot withoct j ^ iut , that the soaei ? is not a mixed , government fer varif-d interests—thatitisaewporate body , with equal individual -rigkts . It is , I know , intended to leso , and it is because the principle-ef plurality voting

      stock-j obbing society . J object to it because I bejjere that a-iiewtstatc of society , to be -valuable , can taJv be formed out of individual eanality . I Jiavo alwavs coiitendeil , iliat before you cau create a perfect state of -saeiety , you must teach each man his individual -worth . IThore exists the same difference between making individual hai ! piuess out -of an asgrczatc of improved mind and producing an aggr egate of mental improvement out « af individual Luppiness , that there is between building a house of suapclcss lumps and building it of dressed stones .

Scar Will , Ithatitk jot wry sincerely for iae following letter , published 1 b Lloyd' s of last week ; I hope and trust that th e proprietor will hare equal cacse to be obliged to you , hntliearnot .

" Sir , I hxce to tlis ^ &you for the advice gfc « n to me aB to Ihe best mode of obteJning hack the little amount wliich isglBcriDeatotheClwrtsfs Co-operative Laua Society ani I certainly should gtesQs prefer to receive it of Mr . O'Coeoor himself , or of 3 ! x . 'William Prowting Sobirts , rather than to take it from either of the two uudtflings , who , I pyedve from your last week ' s paper , volunteer to par the money in order to parent onrpsijinga visit to their masters . But 1 shall haw a word to say to their matters , wtjch renders it veijf desirable I should see them , and I scsk to know how this is to he accomplished . The notice in xhe Xorttcm . Star was , that all money should be seat to William P'oudoi ? IloherU . care ol

      Feargns O'Connor , Esq ., 340 , Sirani . The roles say all money is to be sent to William Prowtijig Roberts , Esq ., care of Feargus O'Goanor , Esq ., 51 , Gragi Marlboroughstrect , Regent-street . Which of these places is correct ! At neither was Mr . 'Wiiiiam Roberts to he found lact week ; at neither was Feargus O'Connor . Both were in the country . Y : m pointed out the law list as a channel by which to obtain information of Mr . Roberts , and that those who were solidtors , and not in the law list , should be avoided . I find that the name of Mr . Roberts ie in the lair list , under the head of London solicitors ; but after prim the addrest in loadon , Batli , Manchester , anil Keivoistlc-unon-Tyneare also added as his address , eo there is no necessity to avoid Mm ; the difficulty is , that he may avoid us . If I am to go from London to Bath ,

      from Bath to Manchester , and from Manchester to Newcastle in quest of him , by the time I arrived at the latter place , he wight have returned to London , and if I followed him there , he might again have set off fur Bath . I have been tliinldnj if we bad subscribed our £ 5000 , aud after depositing it in the bank , onr treasurer had , under Rule 9 , made application on behalf of the trustees for the withdrawal of the same , and it had hren so withdrawn , theEe Joaf , xtsaa « 'cesof Mr . Roberts ( to say nothing of the two »« cJonai < mes , 3 < o , Sirana , and 5 t , Great Mariborough Kteet ) nngut hawrenoeredit very inconvenient for the oaety . I aj , j mj shopmates have all discontinued to purchase the SMkan Star ; but one copy , which was paid fora quarto in advance , still comes , and I see that last week tbeGeuoalSecretary of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society reports

      "Many sums have been sent to the treasurer , which will be acknowled ged by that gentleman on his return to town . " This appears to as a singular mode ofcarrying on the business , as does the report of Mr . O'Connor in the same paper , that he does not know the exact number enrolled « Manchester ; bat that he reedved several pounds for entrance . As he is neither constituted treasurer , or district secretary , I wish to know in what capacity he re ceives the money . Because , if one director , Mr . O'Connor , is at liberty go toand receive several pounds in one place , not

      . knowing of how manj persons , then another director < for instance , tlie next on the list , Mr . Doyle ) may do the Mm ? , and SO any o& « r member of the society . Mr . O ComiOT , Mr . HoWt ^ and the other directors , havepubl > shen " an address to the Chartist body generally , but more especially the members of the Chartist Cooperative land Society , " proposing to answer the objections contained in jour paper , and the answer is , " to this we reply —the rales of the society make ample provision for the security of the funds . " Is this the security ! Irresponsible collectors , and absent treasurers . They also say , " there is no obstacle to enrolment , I am informed that no

      enrolment can take place without great alteration in the roles ; but why should they enrol if it is unnecessary I lad if it is necessary in July , was it not equally . 60 in

      10 EEA 2 GSS O CONNOR , ESS . Sir—Having seen Ihe letter of Mr . Hill ' s in Lloyd ' s newspaper of June 29 , pretending to be a reply to yours of the 21 st , in the A ' ortAsm Star , and supposing that you would write to Mr . Hill again in your paper of next Saturday , I thought I could give you a little information respecting the character cf Jhe man alluded to , for I live within a short distanoe of where Mr . Hill lived nnd carried on the business of merchant , in corn , wool , coals , sjcrits , &c , as well a « hanker , in which branches he failed about twenty yeaie ago , and caused the complete rain of a great many people in Wisbeach and the neighbourhood , and likewise a great . excitement for a long time , for he made such fair promises , and some placed

      such confidence in him , that they bought his one-pouud notes at 10 s ., 12 s ., 15 s , and even 17 s . each , and thereby ruined themselves , his creditor * receiving not more than 3 s . CO . in the pound , in t « - » separate payments . Some uuie . after that , Mr . ism again commenced business as mi-Echwit in com , wool , ccaki , wine , and spirit , as well as shipowner , common br e wer , and proprietor of the Sterui tie East—not editor / as jou staUd in your letter of the 21 st ,, although I dare say he did chief part of the idiliug . Jon must bear in mind that it was some years before he £ 01 into allihis trade that I have mentioned

      for the pEjjple were very dubious ior some time . About four years ago , or somewhere thereabouts , he failed a second tims , to tlie tune , I am told , of £ SO , 000 or upwards , 69 $ cs may depend he caught some of them again . 1 can assure jou that no person has caused such serious losses to tlieyiblicin and aboat Wisbeach as hejias , and , considering the attacks which I supposed he made upon joa , in Llojd '^ s paper of tlie Stl » and 15 th of June , 1 thought it was , nothing Imt right that jou should know a little of the man ^ ou had to deal with ; aad admiring your principles , as Lahvays have done , I have taken the pleasure of writing JQB these feiv lines .

      You will please excuse all imperfections in my letter , as I am but a very moderate scholar . lam , jour humble servant , Jakes Km ape . P . S . —He is called- " Jemmy Hill , the bad paper man , " at Wisbeach ; and I think you might very well give him a . hiutofa few of these itings . J . K . Dear Will , I am the rery last man in the world to ngke an ill-natured remark upon others' misfortunes ; but then , as Pew Richard says , "three remeres are as bad as one jjre , " so you see that people will j ; e cautious ; and expedience makes men wise . I knes * there was a something touching you home about ihe chances of failure . True , it is many a goad msn ' s case ; but , then , sever put your eggs in a basket that the bottom has { alien out of . You , no doubt , beard all about the £ 1 notes , and the many

      occupations of the proprietor of the Star in the East , and perhaps you will now see good reason for that gcntleman-BEALER ix cons advocating a repeal of the Corn Laws , as a ship owxer as well . In faith , we live in strange times , when poor deluded men will so speak out for themselves . I shall xsake no further eomnient upon ihe above letter than merely to observe , that the poor people of Peterborough and Wisbeaeh have not yet been gulled by the bait in my mouse-trap . Poor burned things , they dread the fire . Now , read the following letter from Drogheda , Ireland , and see how Lloyd ' s protective , considerate , virtuous people-loving- editor lias scared the mice from the trap , and then read the list of subscriptions , and especially the £ 15 old and £ 2 from Fracee . Yes , really , all from France ; and see how you and Carpenter between you have changed our name to " UNIVERSAL Co-orERAirvE Laxd Association "

      Melc , Drogheda , July 2 nd , 1845 . My Dear Sir , —I take this opportunity of returning yon my most sincere thanks for your unflinching exertions in behalf of tlie oppressed against the oppressor , but the couse of my trespassing on your attention ic , having seen your reply to that chapter of accidents which appeared in Lloyd ' s , and the satisfactory manner In which you upscthis puerile reasoning , also the torn * held out to the working classes from the adoption of the Chartists Co-operative Land . Society . May I ask if persons in Ireland ' can become members of it ? if so , Trill you , sir , have / the kindness to transmit me a copy of the rules and prospectus 5 By doing so you will much oblige a number bf sterling democrats in this locality ; among die rest , your sincere friend , IIuch Cabaeeb . F . O'Connor . Esq .

      Dear Will , —I have the pleasure to inform you that I am in great hope of being able to carry out the plan without selling one acre of ground ; and I'll just tell you how . I think , when we purchase the land , we can raise building-money on mortgage to be paid off , as all mortgages may , with six months' notice ; and that in less than five years every occupant may be able to pay down his quota of the redemption-money , and purchase-money , and have his holding for ever rest free . Think of that , you dog , and that shall not stop the process of buving and subdividing .

      Now , dear Will , be sure and write to me every week ; but then let me . have your letter * , as by one of the most unforeseen , and strange , and unaccount able accidents in the : world , you wrote the second half of your letter last-week , and published it too , and , notwithstanding this apparent paradox of the press keeping a secret , Iassure you that your letter was soi in the number of Lloyd ' s sent to me . Now , is not that odd ? What a capital '' / dodge What a protection against being answered ! And , I what a great man I am to have a whole paper printed

      tor myself ! Will , in the number of- Lloyd ' s now before me , there is this heading : — Published on Fkiday Afternoon * . For distant parts only . " Ah Will , Will ! are Peterborough and Wisbcach amongst the D-stast Parts ? And did yon think that the burnt dupes there would thinkit a godsend to find the treasurer axy whehe , or to hear somethixg of their nroney ? Now , Williamafter ac » . __ ini -m » ... ¦ . .

      , knowlcdging your great services , ! will not « all this a very shabby dodge ; but , let me tell you , that it would have been right to send some of your eyewater to the poor fdiows in distant parts , as you profess to write specially for their protection . Why , then , confine yeur caution to the open-eyed mctropo'is , where all men see all things ? I'll tell you , Will—it is becaase Lloyd ' s publisher has received more than one notice like the lollowin" —

      Sir , —You will please to soud mo a ouiw > less this week I fear the dastardly anonymous attacks upon O'Connor are calculated to injure tlie circulation of Lloyd ' s paper , as many readers are giving it up and taking Stars instesd . My dear William , when I had got so far , I was favoured by Mr . Wheeler with a copy of Lloyd ' s , having the other half of your letter , and over the leader are these words : —

      rcuusnED ox sukday morning , " ' ^ Containing the Latest Litettitjaue of the Wed : Ah , you cunning little roguey pojjuey , so your letter is the latest intelligence , is it ? But see what a lie Carpentertold ! I mean a fib—as you don ' t like the word "lie . " Why , in his paper of the 28 th of June he cut your letter in two , thus : —[ We are compelled to postpone the remainder of Mr . Hill ' s letter till next week . —Ed . ]—Now , was that true ? and did he overhold it for his latest , from its importance , or did you wish to have a peep at Friday ' s and Saturday ' s Skir for my reply to your nonsense ? Whatever caused the mistake , William , you have got yourselves into a niess . I see nothing in your long rigmarole about the repeal of the Corn Laws to

      require even notice , further than merely to observe that yon are a surprising fellow to have forced Pee ) , and Russell , and Cobden , and the League , into the adoption of your bread-eating plan . You know the story of the old man who beliered that the Tenterden steeple was the cause of the Goodwin Sands much in the same spirit you complain that you and the other Hill had some squabbling in the two rival Stars in 1 S 41 , and that he Burked and " lit his pipe" with one of your letters . I have no doubt he did ; it was his common practice ; but then , William , I never refused to meet you in discussion on the subjeet ; but it would be no wonder if I had—a man who frightened Peel , and Russell , and Cobden , and the League , would swallow me , bones and all . You are a perfect boa-coxsirictoe man .

      Just one word more for the present . William , as I have not received the eightpence from Saffron-hill , or the eightpence from Coventry , or the still greater sum from Whittington and his Cat ; perhaps you have , and as sinall favours are thankfully received , and may be as safe in my hands as in tours , will you oblige me by transmitting the amount for the satisfaction- of the subscribers . But , alter all , you dedine to meet me in discussion—WISE MAN , YOU HAVE DONE WELL ! Have you got it yet , Will ? Ever yours , dear William , In the cause of TRUTH , Feargus O'Connor .

      FRANCE . In the Chamber of Peers on Friday a smart discussion arose on the chapter of the . budget relating tu Algiers . General Castellanc condeninea tlic attempt * made to occupy so extensive a country at a cost o ! 100 , 000 , 000 annually to France , and with 100 , 0-W men . TnE Jesuits . —The leading feature in the Paris journals of Sunday is the successful termination oi Baron Rossi ' s mission to the Court of Rome , ah doubt upon the subject having been put an end to b \ the following semi-official announcement in the J / wsageroi Saturday night : — " The King ' s government has received news from Rome . The negoeiation confided to M . Rossi has . attained its object . The con

      gregation of Jesuits will cease to exist in France , ami is about to terminate of itself ; its houses will be closer . and its noviciates dissolved . " The Dcbats . accompanies this communication with the information that it wag only six months ago that the Government received information of the re-establishment of Unorder of Jesuits in France ; that about that time the simultaneous reports of divers provincial procurewt du Boi showed that houses connected with the order were forming in all directions , and it was ascertained that twenty-two houses had already been fully completed . Although the law armed * the authorities with power for their prompt suppression , yet tla-Government preferred the more prudent course ol appealing , in tke first instance , to the spiritual

      authority , and M . Rossi was dispatched to Rome . The task whi : li this diplomatist had to execute was delicate and difficult , and his success is aproofoftliv sound discretion which dictated the choice of so able a man . Howrsecretly the negoeiation must have been managed is proved by the fact that the French organ of the Jesuits , the Uinvers , was quite blindfolded . Only three days before the authoritative announcement in the Messatjcr the Jesuit journal stated , in v triumphant tone , that the negotiation had failed and sucn was generally believed to have been the fact . The Paris journals of Monday are mostly occupied

      with the "expulsion ( as it was deemed ) of the Jesuits from France . " The Gazette de France , a parti-prctn journal , edited by the celebrated Father de Geuoudc . is S 3 hardy as to venture an insinuation against tin Pope himself , who , according to the brave abbu , quailed before menaces regarding his Italian domi uions . The Jesuit organ declares naively that tin Papal decree has broken its heart . The National states that sixty-two master carpenters have agreed to the advance to five francs per da \ demanded by the operatives ; in consequence ot ' whici nearly five hundred have returned to their workthose who liave so returned are forniin" a iuml t ' oi

      toe support of their fellow workmen whose employers have notyet given in . The heat in Paris was intense on Sunday an

      Moniteur relativeto the suppression of the Jesuits by order of the Tope , the Patrie observes , that "it was scarcely possible the Government would publish : ; result of such importance if it were not . true . " However unlikely the assertion of the Quotidienm appeared , the editor of the Patrie had , nevertheless , deemed it expedient to seek for information on tin subject ; and had " ascertained that the communication made to the public was copied , word for word , from the despatch addressed to the Government , That despatch was brought to Paris by a secretary e ! the French Embassy , who was to leave on Monday evening with the reply of the French Government to the Pontifical Bee . " "We are confident , " adds the Faine , " that the orders of the General of tlie Jesuil a have at this moment reached Paris . ''

      DEATn of a Republican Leader . —The Pans journals of Tuesday ' announce the demise of one ol the leading Republicans of the capital , a M . Raban . an engraver , who formerly lived at the entrance o ! the Palah Royal , and who , although hump backed and of a very delicate constitution , was concerned in all the" movements of the Republican party since 1930 .. lie was arrested and imprisoned sevMal times , and remained under the surveillance of the poneo tu his last moments .

Alarming STAflj of the Capital . —Madbid , June 28 . —From the appearance of the troops at the different points in this city for the last Jew nights past , as sunset approaches , it would seem as it the Government was almost in hourly expectation of p movement . Last night , however , these appearanccs presented a more threatening character than forsomc time past .: Groups of people were seen at the Puerta , < iel Sol and in the Plaza Mayor , engaged in earnest

      conversation , and discussing tho various topics of the day . It was said that the acquittal of the Espcctador «; as to have been made the signal the day before yesfcvday for an insurrection in a liberal sense ; and that the constitution of 1 S 12 was about to be proclaimed . Whether the information thus given was believed ov not , the authorities , however , took good care to provide against any casualty that might occur . Tke regiment La Reina Gobernadera , and a battery of mounted artillery , remained tho whole of yesterday under at . us , and ready tor action at a moment ' s notice , in their barracks . On account of the rumours which had been afloat the whole of yesterday , that an attempt would be made to disarm the guard at the 1 ost-otnee and the Custom-house , and , oil account ot

      the crowds that were assembling in tlie Puerta del Sol and llaBa Major , the Captain-General appeared at the Head of a troop of cuirassiers in the latter place , and thence proceeded to other parts of the town . Ihere occurred , however , nothing to call into action the military force . The group s dispersed , and retired to their homes . The . guards , however , ivt the places abovementioneds remained iiiidor uwns the whole of the night : ami tlic soldiers did not lay aside their muskets for a moment . The guards are still doubled , and tlie same precautions are taken . . . . tu-day . A trifling disturbance toek place at Seville on tho ' 20 th .

In addition to the several stratagems 1 have described ia some of my last letters , a lew others have since been devised , which are equally worthy of notice , for thcircool effrontery , ami tho utter disregard of public opinion which they imply . One of these , and tjie lnoat bai-etticed , is the registration as quali'ied ¦ voters ol a great number of men whose very accent proclaims '

      them at once to be nativesof Gallicia , and therefore Spauish subjects . By this means , in one parish of this city , which I take as a sample of tlie rest , the number of voters , which ought to be 293 , has been raised to ' 135 , tlie extra 143 consisting of Gallcgo water-carriers , who must vote with the government on pain of being deprived of their licenses should they do otherwise . If this bo a representative system of government , then assuredly it is such a one as the sjreat Autocrat of all the Russias might safely set up in his dominions without the least diminution of his real power . After this I need scarcely add that tho opposition appear to have but a very slender chance of success . There is no use , howcver > in speculating any further upon the result , as in about six weeks hence the question will be set at rest , the elections being to commence on the 3 d of August .

      SWITZERLAND . The Zurich Gazette states that Dr . Steiger had upon the 1 st been honoured by the commune of Vidau with the right of citizenship . The doctor , it was said , would settle in Berne , and there resume the practice of medicine . At Bale Campagne the anti-Jesuit party lme proposed the establishment of a Swiss Catholic Church upon the principle now spreading through so many of the German states . The same party in Lucerne complain of persecution , which the authorities make no efforts to prevent . Letters from Berne , of tlie 4 th instant , state that the Jesuits had beer , already placed in possession ol the parochial church of the Franciscan Friars at Lucerne . Mr . Scott , the new Secretary of the English Legation in Switzerland , had arrived at Berne .

      GREECE . Fearful State of the Country . —Athens , June 21 st . —An pfficial report has just been received of the destruction of the village of Ccropolis in Acarnania , which was attacked and pillaged by a band of about twenty robbers , nnd then totally burnt . Another village near Dragornesti'e ; in tho same province , was surprised by another band at noon-ilny , who killed one of the inhabitants , severely wounded two others , and carried off two of the principal proprietors , for the purpose of compelling them to pay V egregious r . msom . " Here , in the capital , an attempt was made to break into the treasury , in spite of the iuard placed there . Luckily the robbers had only succeeded in breaking open the lock of the outer door when they were alarmed , and made their escape . A few days since a merchant was stopped in a carriage on the road to the Piranis , at live in the afternoon , robbed of 700 drachms ( about £ 250 ) , and was severely wounded , as well as the coachman . This

      daring act , committed at such an hour , in the most frequented road in Greece , where carriages avc continuall y passing , is imputed to persons employed b \ the police . Assassinations arc also becoming so frequent that no one ventures out in the evening , unles > well armed . Five days since , about nine at night , ; i young man , the nephew of Licut .-Colonel Karatassos , one of the King ' s aides-de-camp , was stabbed in tin back a moment after he had quitted his house , and left dead in the street . No one can imagine the motive of this crime . The day before yesterday , the iirinter of the Courier d' Athena , an opposition journal , was stabbed . in the street in open day , by an unknown rufh ' . in , who effected his escape . It would be endless to report all the outrages which are hourly committed , and wliich keep the population in a constant state of alarm and terror . The conduct of tin government in the mean time is most extraordinary it appears that its indulgence towards ccrta ' h brigands is inexhaustible .

      Ihe Presse states that a letter from Athens , received by way of Trieste , mentions that Grivas had been killed in a duel , fought with Kallergi , tin King ' s aid-de-camp . The cause of this dud wa > lately detailed in the Herald . Some apprehension is said to be felt on account of the number of Grivas ' s followers , which amount to 2 , 000 desperados .

      MINERS' CONFKUKNCb ! ( From the Tync Mercury of Wednesday , July Oth . ) The Miners' Association of Great Britain arc homing thciv Annual Conferoneo this week in Newcastle , at the house of Mr . Mnvlin Judo , Side . On Monday , the business was confined to receiving tho credentials of the delegates as they arrived . At six in the evening , simultaneous meetings of the workmen at various collieries in the counties of Aorthumborland and Durham were held at three several places , which , in their names formed tho odd conjecture of Sheriff Hill , Gallows Hill , and Botany Bay . I hey were held for the purpose of hearing addresses from different appointed parties ; and the substance of the speeches was , in all [ . rtSbabilitv , similar at eacii .

      Mr . M . Judo was called upon to preside . Having briefly noticed the sitting of tins Conference , and that it had been deemed advisable to hold these meetings of the several collieries , ho called upon Ben . Embleton , from South Staffordshire , who addressed the meeting on the necessity of union , and was followed by James Price , from Cheshire , who was succeeded by \\ ni . Ilolgato , a Yorkshireman . but lately from Lancashire , botii of whom appear to be lecturing at present in tho collievy districts of Durham . They entered into many of tlie usual topics but their favourite argument was in favour of restricted work " production being kept level with consumption . " At the close ot his speech Vricc tnolc a show of hands ( wliich was quite general ) in favour of the union : and it was agreed by tho meet-ins- to send to Conlerence their assent to a general meeting , to be "eld either on the Town Moor or on Shadon's Hill .

      _ Io the Trades op Scotmxd . —Fellow-workmen , in behalt ot the Naihnakcrs of Camelcon and St . lN inian s I appeal to you . I may as well state a few lacts , to let you understand tho position of tho Nailers at present . Their wages have been very low for the last ten veal's . Lately the men of tlic above places requested their employers to advance their wages . A few of the employers granted tho men ' s request ; some of them , however , refused , and told the men that they ( the employers ) were surprised how they could have the impudence to ask anything of the kind . I ' rom the insultinir usage the men received , a strike took place , which ks now lastei eleven weeks . I may state that all the employers in bt . Ninum ' s , with the exception of Mr . M'Loawho

      , employs fifty hands , have given the advance . ' Two employers in Cameleon , who employ about one hundred men still hold out against the men ' s demands . Une ot these , a Mr . Fairbairn , allows his men what he terms "free ' . houses ; " but "tree" they are not , ior he deducts or abates Id . per 1000 nails of all his hands , whether they have houses or not . This now . Mr . Fairbairn , after some of the men have grown grey in the services of his father and himself , lias served them , to the number of twenty-one , with summonses to quit in twenty-four hours , or lod . "c answers—in plain woods , to sro to work for what he chooses to give them . Me . Fairbairn will not lmve

      things all his own way , for the men of St . Ninian ' s have employed a lawyer , who has pledged himself to arrest the ejections at least for five weeks Thus matters stand at present . JN ' ow , I would appeal to the Irades of Scotland to come forward to rescue those men and their families from the tvrannv of their oppressors . Those who have alread y done what they could to support the turnouts , in the name of the men I beg to thank . Any sums that the Trades are inclined to send will be thankfully received either > y James Jenkins , Naihnakcr , St .

      Glasgow . —The Poor Law . —The adjourned public meeting to consider the "New Poor Law Bill " was hold in the City Hall , on Monday evening ; and notwithstanding notice of the same had been read in almost all the churches in tlie city on Sunday , the number who attended wns not one hundred more than that at the former meeting ; even with the additional attraction of the announcement in the bill that the professional gentleman who conducted the ease of Widow Duncan against the parish of Ceres ; the Rev Dr . Willis , Mr . Wright , the Anti-Slavery advocate from

      America ; and other influential parties would be present and address the meeting . I do not mention these things with a view to exult over I atnek Brewstcr ; 1 state the fact in order to show die utter indiscretion of Brcwster ' s conduct at the n \ uVr eeting ; an ( 1 wll 0 > bul for tl ! e presence of IJr . \\ i ilhs , and one of our Highland ministers , would me been left on this occasion in a miserable plight indeed ; which is evident from the fact , that he had o get a Paisley man , who accompanies him almost on ill occasions , to second the string of resolutions moved : > y himself . Excepting the two Rev . ( mnt . Inmnn

      . vhom I have already mentioned , only one man bc-• onging to Glasgow took part in the proceedings . Of hat individual I have no wish to say anything harsh' >' , " . ? . - »? "fihti if he thinks proper , to ally him-> elt with Brcwster ; he has done so onnianv occasions long ere now , and I think to the prejudice ' of his use-. ulness-as any man must do who will allow himself to be guided by that intolerant despot . There is one individual , however , whose conduce on Monday evening is worth y of all credit , viz ., Mr . Cullen . He was one ot the committee who got up the first meeting ; and , as I stated in my note of last week , was one of the four appointed to get up the adjourned meeting , but on Monday evening he not onlv took no part m the proceedings , but positively declined to go to . the hustings , though ursentlv remmstpd in , 1 .

      so . llus was nothing but what misht have been expected ot Matthew Cullen , who , lliough his neutrality lorsomc years has excited thosuspicionsof some , I nave reason to know he is sternly honest ; and to those who know the sacrifices which he has made , in conoquonoQ of his connection with Chartism , which to i man situated as he is , with a wife and a numerous family dependent upon him , the neutrality of Mr . Oullcn is easily accounted for ; but that neutrality has not led him to take part with the deserters from the ranks m Glasgow , whose gross tiisaciikhy 1 know Mr . Cullen detests as much as any man . And when the day of trial comes-for come it shall , and that ere long-Mr . Cullen will not be the man to stand up in their defence . Therefore I deem it due to Mr . Oullen , to take the earliest onnortunit . v t . n ili « . inim « nv
