We reaKy have cot time for more than a word , wh'ile we could have written columns upon the glorious triumph .

      TO THE MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE VARIOUS CHARTIST ASSOCIATIONS AND CHURCHES OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . BROTHER Chartists—You are all made pretty well acquainted with the barbarous and lamentable death of our Chartist brother , p jor Clayton , who died under the mercifu ; treatment of th « base , blwdy , and brutal factions , for the crime of endeavouring to mete out the glorious principles of Ciiariiim , justice , and liberty .

      Knowing that the predominant character of the advocates of Clwrtiam is that they would do uato others aa they wou ' . il th-y should do unto them , I appeal to yon on be ); alf of the helpless widow and inc ( fending child of the above namvd victim of tyranny and profession , to endeavour to pay a last tribute of respect to our deceased brother , by placing those who were dependant upon him for support , above the frowns and insults of the base and unprincipled portion of society .

      According to the Star of this day , the Delegates assembled ironv Vhe different places of the West-Kiiling of Yo .-Juhire , reconjjiiend that funerai aernions be pTeuchwl in all the Chartist Associations and Chapeis on the 14 th of March . In addition to this I would recommend that at tbe close ef tacb sermon , a collection should be mode on behalf of the widow of poor Ciiiyton , by -which means a sum sufficient would be raited , whercbj she might be able to commence business in some way or other , and the Chartists of Sheffield would most certainly gi 7 e her their most decided support .

      Feilow Chartists , — 'Tis no more than a duty that you ewe to four principles , that you act up to this plan , and cotivina ; the "worW that you are worthy of the name of Ch . ; rtiits , and of the objects that you contend for as your ii . alienable rights . If bnt 15 , 000 of thu Chartists of ( ireat Britain und Ireland should meet on that day , and each contribute liutone penny , it -would amount to i' 62 lo . s . Do your duty as mtn , women , and as Chartists ; let the money be tianamitted to the Star Office , and all to be dnly acknowledged in the cjiumns of that invaluable journal , and you wiil prove to the world that you sre in reality friends of justice , humanity , and liberty , and while you advocate the rights of man , you are not forgetful of your duty to the Whig-made- widows of your murdered advocates . Faithfully yours ,

" HANLEY . —( Potteries ) . —On Shrove Tuesday , the teachers and scholars of the Sunday School appertaining to tbe Tabernacle Chapel , in this town , took tea together in the school room . As is customary on euch occasions , the superintendent had prepared a few of the scholars with pieces selected from different authors , which were recited after tea ; and 1 must say gave general satisfaction ,

      Amongst tbe rest , was a little boy , who r « Jlted a piece called the " Factory Bell , " with most excellent effect , and was highly ' applauded by the numerous assembly . This piece I auerwards ascertained , had been selected from a little work of Mr . Hick's , tbe Chartist , which the Rev . Chairmau of the evening ' s festivities , a reverend Master Fletcher , the son of one Dr . Fletcher , had not previously examined . When he closed the book , and was about to return it to the little boy , he found to his astonishment it was the production of a Chartist ! He immediately called the boy , and questioned him as to how he came by it ; the boy did not answer his reverence to his satisfaction . The Superintendent was next called to account , and after a good deal of wrangling the reverend stripling rose from his seat and left the school room astounded at the enormity of the crime .

The following interesting information was added by way of postecript : — " I may mention that we have gok a situation in the Glasgow Apothecaries' Hall , as an apprentice , for Mr . Frost ' s son , who has arrived here to-day , and will be introduced t « his employers tomorrow . " Communications were also received from Messrs . Wm . Lovett and Morgan Williams ; Mr . Lovett declined presenting the memorial , as he ebuld not consent to wear a court-dress , but would not object doing so in a plain dress , if her Majesty would allow

      it Mr . Morgan Williams agreed to the proposal of the Committee , and wished to know the time that his services would be required . The Committee then adjourned for a fortnight , as the soiree takes place on Tnesflay evening next . The following resolution was agreed to at the previous meeting : — " The honorary members , belonging to this Committee , are requested to exert themselves in furtherance of the objects of this Committee , by arouBing their respective districts , and forming committees for the purpose of collecting funds to defray the expence of presenting the memorial * .

      BRADFORD . —Treatment of Paupers in the Bradford Bastile . —On Tuesday last . \ n-. witnessed seven of the inmates of the Bradford BastHe dramng a water cart , laden with water , the distance from the well to the Workhouse being about a quarter of a mile ; four of them were seared to the shafts , and the other three were in the traces . Three out of the seven are idiots , one of whom ia also deaf and dumb . We ask , was this done by order of the thing called the Workhouse MaBtert—or does he apply to his own use the money that should have oeen paid for a horse to do the work ? r-or do those calling themselves Guardians of the Poor suffer such inhuman work , and call it Christian usage I

      BOI » TOr * . —Important to Coal Miners . —At the Bolton Petty Sessions , on Monday , the 22 nd Feb . last ., before J . Ridgway , and R . Loinax , Enquires , James Woodeock , a coal-miner , iu the service of Messrs . Andrew Knowles and Sons , was brought up , charged with neglect , of work . Mr . Taylor appeared for the prosecution , and Mr . Halsall , of Middleton . for the defence . It appeared that on the 3 rd December last , the defendant entered into a contract with Mr . John Knowles , to get three bags of coal , at 53 . a load , aided by four others , who had commissioned him to make the bargain . Although he acted in making a contract for the others , they were not employed by him , as each received his wages separately from the masters , according to the

      quantity of coal got . There was a proviso that if coals should rise in price , their wages were to be in-Greased In proportion and , in conformity with this proviso , when the late strike took place , they were advanced tenpenoe a load ; but , as some of Messrs . Knowles ' s men had not returned , the defendant and others were induced to leave their work also , in order that Messrs . Knowles might be compelled to make an advance generally . Mr . Halsall contended that whatever liability attached to the defendant for not having performed a reasonable quantity of work as referred to , by the prosecutor , yet that he was not punishable under the statute 4 th George the Fourth , o . 34 ., sec . 3 .: the evidence tendered on the

      part of the prosecution not meeting the case , there being no contract in writing , nor any fixed term of hiring , or service , as required by this particular section of the statute , nor any existing relationship of master and servant , as contemplated by the Act . The magistrates , after a long consultation , at length agreed to take the opinion of counsel upon the points , and ordered defendant to find sureties to appear when called upon to abide the decision of the Bench , which , it is understood , is to be given at the Sessions Room , on Monday next . What renders this proceeding more remarkable is tho circumstance of two of the men having been previously committed as " turn-outs" for the same offence , to the New Bailey , for a month , by other magistrates .

They were reoeived , and were all placed in a large room without beds , where they lay until morning . They were then employed at grinding corn , after which they received half a pound of bread and a pot of skilly each , and dismissed . SUNDER £ » AND . —On Thursday evening , Mrs . Martin , social and political lecturer , delivered an admirable lecture in the long room of the Golden Lton Inn , on "the principles of political freedom and the right of tho people . " The talented lady handled the subject in a most striking manner , skowing the importance of political freedom , as a step to the attainment of , and a security for the enjoyment of social reform , and the community

      system of society . In reply tosome questions put by a socialist , who said he would Buppovt the Chartists , ii they would pledge him to support social reform , she stated that she was willing , and would , to the best of her ability , aid the Chartists to gain the important rights for which they are struggling , and rebuked the socialist severely for making it a condition of his support that the Chartists should , as a body , pledge themselves to support his views—this , she observed , was tho true spirit of Toryism , and a spirit utterly at variance with the principles of Socialism . Me ? srs . Binns and Williams also addressed the meeting upon the same subject , and their views of social and political reform generally . A lecture on the rights of man , and the probable results of true representative government , was delivered on Sunday evening , by Mr . Williams , in the Co-operativo Hall , to a numerous and attentive audience .

      SEIGHLE 7 . —On Tuesday night last , a meeting was held in tho Working Men ' s Hall , to assist in procuring counsel for the young men awaiting their trial at Lancaster , on & charge of killing a cotton manufacturer , named Halstead , at Colne , during a riot with the new police . Two men , from Colne , addressed the meeting , and gave in account of the whole proceedings ; by which it appears that the police and their supporters , tho magistrates and middle classes , had behaved in a manner

      that would have disgraced the character of the most uncivilised savages . The speakers were quite confident of tho young men ' s innocence , but were of opinion that their poverty would prevent them from getting anything like justice , unless the public furnished them with the means of employing counsel , and bringing up their witnesses . A collection for this laud xble purpose was made after the addresses , amounting to £ 1 8 s ., four shillings of which were contributed by a ftw Chartists of Silsden . ¦

The doctor , who attended her , declared it as his opinion , that her death was caused by fright , which he supposed she had got st the meeting , by the relation of Bomeof the party during their devotional exercises .

      - ¦ j . CHARTIST PRESS . We have been watching both with interest and delight the progress hitherto of the ZngtUh Chartist Circular—a worthy compeer for its "bonny brother ayont the Tweed . " Nothing so fully testifies the deep importance of the present movement , the ho 2 d which it is taking on the affections of the people , and the habits of tioo&as and reflection which it is generating in them , as the fact of thousands upon thousands of these valuable publications , fiU # d with sober sense , sound reasoning , statistical and historical facts , and moral and political inBJjrucwoa , being sought after , purchased , and read , t < iih an avidity equal to that of Btarring mea in Beareh of food ; while the bare offering of a large sheet like the Chartist Circular , filled with sound wisdom , and ao trash , for one halfpenny , is of itself enough to' break the rest of tyranny , and destroy the slumbers of the luxurious few who fatten on corruption , with uncomfortable dreams . We believe the Chartist Circular of Scotland to have found its way to almost every Scotchman's fire-side ; and we trust the English Chartist Circular , fully equal to it as it is in merit , will shortly be , if it now be not , a necessary item in the weekly provision of every poor man for bis family . He himself may derive instruction from its pages , and learn the best methods of enduring or of mending his condition . His children may read it with certainty of profinble leanuog , and without danger of having their heads turned , or their morals injured ; show us one book , periodical or otherwise , written avowedly and exclusively for the " higher " and " educated " classes ( as this is for the working classes ) of which so much << an truthiully be said . There may be such , but we never yet stumbled upon one .

      While upon this subject , we must advert also to the Illuminator—a publication of a like aharacter , but ^ larger , and at a higher price—published at Leicester ; of which two numbers have been sent io us , and which we hesitate not to pronounce infinitely superior iu style , matter , and composition , to most , ii not any of the high-priced periodicals , written by and for educated men . The Illuminator is published by Mr . Seal , of Leicester , and oaght to be read by every Chartist iu that district wlio can have it without expense of postage , and by every one io all districts , who can afford to pay postage for it .
