The following resolutions were nninimously adopted : —1 st . " That we , th « Chartists of Burnley , are determined to persevere m the plan laid down dv the Manchester Delegates , and would consider ourselves guiity of HIGH TREASOA against the glorious cause of FREEDOM , were we to allow ourselves to be duped and betrayed by the Xew . Tail of the Big Beggarman . " 2 nd . ' That the best thanks of this meeting are eminently due , and hereby given , to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., for his straightforward , consistent , and manly advocacy of the rights of the people , and for his able exposure of the tricks of the London political damn-nation society .

HT 7 X » L . —The New Move , &c—A public meeting of the National Charter Association was held in the Freemason ' s Lodge , My ton-gate , Hull , on Monday evening last , Mr . Liundy in the chair , when the following resolutions were passed unanimously : — itoved by Mr . S . Healey and seconded by Mr . W . Hingbam , " As the signatures of Messrs . Burps , Wild , Peck , and Thorp , attached to the address circulated by Lovett , Collins , and others may induce the country to believe that the Chartists of Hull are favourable to th % new move , -we , the Chartists of Hull , in public meeting assembled , declare that the above named Bums and Co . had rendered themselfes unpopular whh the Chartists of Hull long before the signing of the above mentioned document , and that
thi 3 circumstance , in our opinion , disgraces them siill more . " Moved by Mr . Worsdell and Eecond . ed by Mr . Padget , " That we protest most nncquivocally against the intended new organization by Lovett and Co ., as we believe it calculated to weaken and scatter the energies of the working classes in their union to deliver themselves from political slavery ; and also we give our moBt cordial thanks to our well-tried friend Feargus O'Connor , and the Editor of the Norjfern Star , for bringing to light the vile plot , the ar $ ng ? ment for which we believe commenced with the Leeds meeting , artfully continued by professed friends , and approved of by rhat enemy to Chartism and the Daws own child , Daniel O'Connell . " HTJDOERSFIELD . —At a full meeting of the
Chartistson Tuesday eveniDg , heid in the Associationroem , Upperhead-row , to take into consideration the " new move" made by Messrs . Lovett , Collins , and Co .- ; after a very lengthy discussion , and some able remarks upon facts which have only now been brought to light , but have been in obscurity , working their intended mischief amongst Judases and traitors , a number of letters were read from the out-township . * , who had sent delegates , all concurring in the bise attempt to sell the birth-right of the people for a mess of pottage . The following resolutions were passed unanimously ;—1 . " That we view with feelings of indignation , the base , cowardly , and unjustifiable conduct of the unprincipled leaders of the' new move , ' in their continued endeavours to
heap odium and discredit upon that tried man of principle , and unceasing advocate of the people ' s rights , F . O . Connor , Esq . " 2 . " That we do place confidence in the old and well-tried advocate of the people , in preference to the ' crotchet mongers , ' and that we shalniold any man or set of men as traitors to the cause of universal justice , who att > mpt to divide and mislead the people , whose strength is union , by the flimsy protest of illegality ; seeing that any measure adopted by or for the suffering millions for their emancipation is illegal , whenever a corrupt government think proper , in their wisdom , to make it so , either individually or collectively . " 3 . " Thatlf the ' new move' was in existence previous to the present National Association , why did not Messrs . Lorett , Collins , &nd Co . attend the great delegate meeting , held in Manchester , in June , 1840 , when invited , and then and there bring forward their plan of national organization , instead of
waiting until the present time , and now endeavour , by such conduct , to sow disunion and division in the ranks and amongst the leaders of the people . " 4 . " That we do hereby protest against the appointment ot John CoHins to git in the Political Prisoners and Charter Convention , he not being a member of the National Charter Association . " 5 . " That we view with feelings of the highest esteem , the self- , denial of Mr . O'Connor in thus calmly bearing the base treatment of the wonld-be * patriots , ' and that he is highly deserving of our best thanks and continued confidence , which we do hereby tender him as a mark of gratitude and esteem . A vote of thanks was given to the chairman , and the meeting separated at a late hour . The time of sending off the petition is on Monday next . All those who have any sheets , either rilled up or not , in the oat-town-Ehips , are requested to send them in immediately to ihe Secretary , or to Mr . Binns , Pack Horse Yard .

SHEFFIELD . —Mr . Leech , of Manchester , lectured here on Monday night , and delighted the Chartists of Sheffield .

COUiE . —The ChatjtietB express their grateful thanks and unqualified approbation of and confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq . and the conductors of the Northern Star , for their able , consistent , and uncompromising advocacy of tho rights and liberties of the working classes . The men of Colne are resolved that so long as Feargus O'Connor , and all other men of sterling integrity and honesty of sentiment and principle , will stand by them , they mav rely on their support , and
cooperation . Oh the receipt of Lovett and Co . 's circular here , we assembled the committee and members of our Association , and made known its purport and contents . The discussion of the mnrits and supposed designs of the new movement was very brief . A motion was made and passed , without one dissentient voice , that the circular should be forthwith returned , without signature , and at the same time conveying our disapprobation of the proceedings of this new junta of wiseacres . We warned them of the responsibility of sowing the seeds of disunion and discord in the Chartist ranks , and pointed them to tho situation of the Whig Government , who , by succumbing and endeavouring by
their crooked policy , to conciliate and win over the Tories , their enemies , had brought themselves to the point of destruction . We told them to beware , lest they should be caught in the same trap . We assured the leaders of this dishonoarable and mischievous movement , that we were more admirers of sound principle than personal idolatry ; and of houesty more than ambition and self-conceit . We hope this untoward circumstance will be tho means of making the Chartist leaders more cautious , zealous , and consistent ; and not give the enemies < f the good cause , occasions for rejoicing and exultation at our disunion , and splitting into sections . — Correspondent .

" Mr . Wm . Elliott moved and Mr . Anditson seconded— " That this meeting tender their most sincere thanks to the Rev . William Hill ,

O'Connor in his late letter .
HANIVEY AND SHELTON ( STAFFORDSHIRE Potteries ) . —Dr . M'Douall arrived here on Tuesday , the 6 th of April , and delivered two lectures in tbe large room belonging te the- Saracen ' s Head Inn , Shelton , to a crowded and attentive audience . The room is calculated to hold 600 people and upwards , and was crowded to overflowing . The effect of these lectures has caused oar principles to rise in public estimation . In truth , the principles of Chartism have been sown here , so aa to be out of the power of tyranny and corruption , ever to trample them underfoot ; the tamo effect has been made in Stoke and Fen ton , and numbers added to our ranks—Dr .

NOHTHAMPTON . —At a recent meeting , the Chartists of this town adopted the following resolution : — " That this meeting views with sorrow the recent conduct of Lovett , Collins , and Co ., and at the same time we pledge ourselves to stand by the National Charter Association , and deuounce any man , or body of men , attempting to mislead the people from obtaining the People ' s Charter . " LEEDS . —The cause of Chartism in Leeds is progressing more than ever . Every meeting of the Association witnesses fresh converts to its rank a A spirit of zeal seems to be spreading amongst its members ; they begin to see that n » w is the time to make converts to their principles , for circumstances are effecting what reason has long since thought was doubtful . Poverty and
want are two great weapons in compelling men to think / and after that to act Men have begun to aet What is the cause of the present distress ? Everywhere there appears to be a spirit of enquiry . The Council , in order to meet tbe signs of the times , have drawn up a p \ an lot Lectures and Addresses , similar to the one they have in Manchester . Meetings in future will bo held in rotation , weekly , at Upper Worttey , Lower Wprtley , Armley , Hunslet , Woodhouse , and West Ward , when three friends , in rotation , from a list of fourteen , will attend and deliver addresses . The Room in Cheapside is to be opened every Monday night , when other three friends will address the meeting . The Council having adopted this plan , rely upon tbe members for its success , by making it their concern to attend
and to induceothera who are not members to attend likewise . The Council will persevere to the utmost in endeavouring to work out the plan with success . Lot the members generally follow the exu ; ipie , and then Leeds will t » e what it ought to be , the strong-hold of Chartism . The meeting on Monday night commence * at eight o ' clock . At the weekly meeting on Monday night , a discussion took place upon the article in last Saturday ' s Star , headed ' Nottingham Election ; ' it was rather reluctantly taken up , but a many thought it wm inconsistent with the principles of Chartism , and that it was the duty of all Chartists , if they found any thing which in their opinion "waB not in accordance : with their principles , to speak out , for they believe < i that tbe Editor of the Star was more liberal than to
take offence because they objected to an article of his writing . The following resolution was unanimously adopted after a warm discussion : —• ' That this meeting having listened to the reading of the article written by the Editor of the Slar , headed ' Nottingham Election , ' considers it to be inconsistent with the principles of the Charter , and that we consider it to be hurtful to the feelings of the Chartists in general , in the bre thran at Nottingham being called upon to support Mr . Walter , who endeavoured as much as lay in his power to sacrifice the lives of thoso noble patriots of our cause , Frost , Williams , and Jones ; we therefore cannot , as boneat and consistent Chartists , countenance the recommendation of the Editor of tbe Shir , but would call upon all Chartists to remain neutral , and vote for neither of the factions . " WCOOHOUSE , Leeds . —At a meeting of the Woodhouse Chartists , held lately , it was unanimously agreed : — "Tbat we place implicit confidence in FcsTgus O'Connor , Ef q ,. and his colleagues ; and further , that we never will countenance any man , or set of men , who wish to sow disunion in our ranks , or who have any connection with that arch-traiior , O'Connell . ' * DAISY BUA . —The Chartist cause is going on well here . Mr . Alderson gave a lecture here on the 21 st instant , oa the rights of labour , which gave general satisfaction . At tbe close of tbe lecture , a vote of thanks -was given to Mr . Alderson , for his able
exposure of the tyranny of masters over their workmen . On Sunday last , the Chartists met as usual at the Old Cot , when a spirited discussion took place on the merits or demerits of the new league , after which the following resolution was unanimously agreed upon : — " That this meeting is of opinion that the men , who have signed the circular of Messrs . Lovett , Collins , and Co ., and leagued themselves with tbat apostate , and betrayer of the factory children , Daniel O'Connell , are traitors to the cause of Chartism , and highly merit the censure of every honest Cbartist ; and it further pledges itself to abide by the eighty-seven tried leaders , and our disinterested champion , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., and the Northern Star . "
MANCHESTER . —A » Brown-street Chartist Room , on Sunday evening , Mr . James Leech , South Lancashire Chartist Missionary , delivered a lecture . In the course of an able lecture , he expatiated upon the Corn Laws and Curreucy , in which he refuted the fallacies of the Hepeftlers in a mastevly style . He alluded also to tbe " new move ; " ami said be knew a gentleman who resided a short distance from him , who was worth bis forty thousand pounds , and Who reads the Star as soon as he can get hold of it He had obtained the portraits of all those who had been been given with the Star , and amongst tbem of course was Mr . John Collins , which hung in the sitting room ; but when he had read Mr . Hill ' s exposure of the private document , he pulled down Collins's portrait , and out with his
penknife . He then cut it across and threw it into the fire as a mark of disgust ( Cries of " Served it right ") A gentleman rose whose name we dare not mention , because of the tyranny of the capitalists , to move the following resolution : — " That this meeting looks upon the movement pat forth by Lovett , Collins , and others , as a treacherous design against the liberties of tbe people of the United Kingdom ; and that we consider it calculated , if persisted in , and that its original intention was , to break up the er . crgies of the people and destroy the agitation for tfce Charter . That Universal Suffrage is the birthright of every nation ; therefore this meeting denounce the sophistry used in Lovttt and Co . ' s circular , and believe tbat for a paltry bribe the said parties have renounced just principles , in
consequence of which they axe not fit advisers of honest men . That this meeting wish to convey to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., their entire confidence in the principlesadvocatfd by him , and their firm determination to abide by thorn , believing them bestcalcnlated to give universal justice to the people . They wish likewise to shtw their utter detestation of all political renf gades , under what iv . nner soever they may appear . Tbey wish also to tell Mr . O'Connor not to despair , but remember the responses which have been so promptly given at various times throughout the country , via . : the young patriots , the Leeds meeting , and the new Convention , &c , therefore , we are for the old plan , the old set , and no othtr . "
Tbe mover of the resolution said , tbat when tbey took into consideration the gigantic efforts and the immense sacrifices which Mr . O'Connor had made in the cause of democracy , together with the undeviating consistency which be has shown in the advocacy of the people ' s cause , he thought it would be the basest ingratitude on the part of those for whom he had done and suffered bo much , to sit tamely down , without declaring to tbe world , and to bis enemies et-ptcially , that they place the most implicit confidence in him as a gentleman and a patriot ( Cheers . ) Mr . James Cartledge seconded tbe motion , in an able and appropriate speech , and the motion was enthusiastically carried .
CORDWATNERS AND TaILOHS , MEMBERS OF THE National Charter Association . —After the financial and other business had been gone through , it was unanimously resolved , 1 st , " That tbe thanks of this meeting are due and hereby given to Mr . Hill , editor of the Northern Star , for bis prompt and able exposure of the * Cocktail Gingers , ' and their new move . Also to our brother Chartists generally , throughout the country , for resisting the temptations held out to them in the manner they have done . And further , we pledge ourselves to have no connections with the new move , or any one connected with it , being determined to have the Charter without any humbug . " 2 nd , " That we have tbe greatest confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq , and we pledge ourselves to stick to him like wax so long as he stands to his colours , of which we have not the least doubt "
BUTTON-IW-ASBFIELJ > . —At a public meeting of tbe Chartists of tbis place , especially warned to take into consideration O'Connor ' s letter in the Star of last week , and tbe New Movement clique , which waa numerously attended , the following resolutions were unanimously carried with acclamation : — "Thatwe , the Chartists of Sutton , having learnt with regret that Messrs . Collins , Lovett , and Co . have concocted a counter plan of organisation to that already in operation ( which we believe is working well for the obtaining of the People ' s Charter , ) as laid down by the delegates of the people assembled in Manchester , and which we believe Calculated to cause a split in the Chartist camp . From all we can learn , from everything connected with tbe New Movement , ( and iu reference to the Big Beggarman , Dan , especially , ) we are led to conclude
that tbat was their intention , and that such conduct at such a time , and in such a manner , from snob , men as Collins and Lovett , lay * them open to the strongest suspicion that gold dust has been thrown into their eyes , and blinded tbem to the beat interest * of the working million * of tbU sea-bound dungeon , for their own selfishness ; and that such conduct la highly eensnrable by every real lover « f liberty . " " That this meeting fully approving of the plan laid down by the delegate * assembled at Manchester , do pledge them-• elTea to use every legal means in their power to put down any movement which is calculated to impede iU progress ; and we do furthermore tender our thuiki to Feargtu O'Connor , E » q . and tb £ Editor of the Northern Star , for their unparalleled exertions in the cause of democracy ; and , further , that we do place impUctf « 4 m 8 deoee in Feargns O'Connor , Esq m the qfl'fllnflfe ' fir'ifffr ° Mn *<> and defender of the working mil-Uon « of fitenaJWtaia and Ireland . *

It won agreed — " That the list » of councilmen , as they have appeared in the Northern Star , be confirmed by tbis meeting . " Previous to putting the motion before thu chair . Me Woodward wished to make » few observations . He commenced by saying , tbat as he was one who had attached bis signature to the " Loveit ami Col » lins' Document , " published in the Star , he would trouble them with a few words . This was the first time he had ever appeared before thorn with any degree of pain , for he felt he had excited some suspicion against himself on account of his name being . &tuched to the address . On Thursday laj £ , when he hr . U been
appointed for a second time as one of the forthcoming convention , ht > had indulged ij } some strong language to those persons who had blamed him far so coing , because he had the greatest coSSdence in those persons who had . sent the address to him , but he must coo less , tbat on reading the Star of Saturday last , and perceiving that the worst of traitors , Daniel O'Connell , -waa mixed up with it , he must own he felt ashamed of his name being- attached to the list , and he musk confess tbat the confidence he had always felt in Mr . Lovett and the others , was considerably shaken . ' A >> hort time would shew them who were the evil doers ; he could assure his fellow members he felt vexed ar . d humiliated that he had any thing t \> do with it ; and jf he had lost any portion of
tbe confidence they had reposed in him , he was quite falling to resign as a member of the Convention , - ** a councilman , or member ot the association . Ht > p . ' aoed himself entirely in their hands , to do aa they pitased with him . Mr . . Sandy next addressed them . He btateti that he was not satisfied with the Star , nor with the conduct of Mr . Lovett ; when Mr . Woodward drought him the address , he then stated he ilnt not agree with many parts of it ; the same course outfit to Lave been adopted with respect to this address as wm dune on the introduction among the people of the Charter . He had written to Mr . Lovett stating his objections , the answer to which he would read to the meeting . [ Mr .- Sandy then read the answer ho had received . ] He co&ilemned Mr . Lovett for the injustice
he considered he had done him , in publishing hm name as agreeing with the address , without bis sanctioa . He should wait until the reply of the other parties , and if not more' satisfactory , he should withdraw from all associations . ; bat he would never cease striving to better the condition of his fellow labourers by all the means iu his power ,. Mr . Allen next rose . He never felt more hurt hi his life than when be btanl that Messrs . Woodward and Sandy had affixed their signatures to this " new move" address . He had bud t-uma private conversation , with Mr . Woodward , and ht > had convinced him that he had dune so in error , and he was glad to say that his confidence in Mr . Woodward was thp same as heretofore . The Chairman said , foe his part he felt perfectly satisfied with the explanation given by Mr . Woodward . Several speakers followed in tbe same course , Messrs . J . Page , Flaxman , ice ., all perfectly satisfied by Mr . W . ' s explanation . The Chairman then put the resolution , which was en rid unanimously . It was then resolved that the m .. ting be adjourned until-Monday evening , at tbe game j » : e , for tbe purpose of adopting strong means to at once pat aside the " new movo , "for wkich purpose a general summons of the C&artiBts of Brighton was determined on , and which has been acted on . Public Meeting . —A public meeting to petition Parliament for the total abolition of Church Kates was held here on Thursday evening lost , April 22 nd , the High Constable in the chair . The meeting waa attended by an overwhelming body of Chartists . A resolution condemnatory of Church Rates was proposed by the anti-church rate party , but previous to putting it , Messrs . Allen and Flowers , in very animated speeches , not only condemned Church Rates , but all other tyrannical impositions . Th * veteran told the meeting eorae nice tales about the nice pickings of the church patty in the eeizute of church lande , &c , which were formerly in possession of tiie people , and , if it were bo now , neither Church Rates , Tithes , Poor Laws , nor an / ether iniquitous enactments , would be
required to press on the people . Messrs . Alien and Flowers concluded soul stirring addresses , urging the workies who were present to stand firm to their Charter , and the plunderers would . yet be made to disgorge their ill-gotten wealth . The resolution was then pal and Girried . A second resolution , to found petition ! on , to both Houses of Parliament , was proposed and seonded ; after which Mr . J . Qaod ' expressed Uu satisfaction in seeing such a numerous body of working men present ; he was happy to see that au amicable feeling was being manifested by the working ami middle classes of Brighton . To tbe . middle classes he could but say he sympathised with tbem far their Church Rate " martyr , " but he really should like to see the middle classes sympathise , assist , and support
the political martyrs now suffering a lingering and cruel incarceration in the various gaols of England aad Wales . Theirs were martyrs for vindicating tbe rights of conscience ; Ours were martyrs for vindicating and demanding the ancient rights and liberties of taeir country . Mr . Good concluded bis address by impress ing eu the meeting the right of every man to the Suffrage , aa embodied in the Charter , and sat down amidst loud applause . Mr . Allen followed , and lashed the middle classes for thtir treachery to the workies , and said he was determined never to petition again unless it were , for Universal Suffrage , till tbey were fully represented in their " own House . " It was useless to petition against any one isolated enactment ; aet the Charter and they would Boon swamp tbe whole
lot ( Loud cheering . ) The motion was then put and carried unanimously . A resolution for the formation of a committee to carry out the foregoing resolutions wm proposed , but previous to putting It , Messrs . Woodward and Flowers , whose names had been inserted in the list , requested that they might be withdrawn , at * being professors of Caartunn , they could not think of joining any other movement except the " People ' s Charter . " Mr . A . referred to a charge that had been br « aght against them , which was , that they had at vuriooa times been the tools of the contending factions . How , they were determined to have the Charter—they had nailed their "No Surrender" flog to the most ; tbey were determined to stand by it , and erelong , by anion and determination , the freedom of their country woald
be achieved . Mr . Allen concluded a very able address , frequently interrupted by the load plaudit * of tha Chartists . The resolution was then agreed to . ItWM moved and carried unanimously , " That the petition be entrusted to Capt Pechell for presentation , and that Sir A . Djlrymple be requested to support it" Me . Allen here stated that tbe chief cause why tbe Char tistf did not oppose the requisitionista , or move any counter resolution , was , that the High Constable hod given all a chance to attend by convening the meeting in the evening , when the working dauea could attend . Hit , and hia brother Chartist ' s object bad been achieved , namely , the dissemination of the principles of their
Charter . If they had any inclination to hare moved counter resolutions , with the pbalaftx of iirui hearts before them , their effort * womld have beek crowned with a > triumphant remit , and he touted tiut when the Chartists wanted that hall , ( to whith they fcad oontii * bnted their share , ) the middle classes woald tLrow m » obstacle in their way , bat » hew tbem the wme ieeliaf as the Chartists famd shows to then that evening ; Several addresses were afterward * delivered by Measn . Sandy , Woodward , Good , Allen , Floven , lc& , aad the meeting broke up , giving three loud and hearty cheers for ihe Charter—for Froit , Williams , aad Jones , and all fee political victim * , with one one more .
