      SUTTCN-IN-ASHFISUO . —On Wednesday evening , according to announcement , a public meeting vras held in the market-place , Satton-in-Afibfield , T » Mch was atteaded by at least 2 , 000 people , for tie twofold pnrpcae of adopting a memorial to the Secretary of Satein favow of Samuel Holberry . and hearing a lectare from 3 Ir . I > ean Taylor . Mr . G . Mee was called to the chair , and introduced Mr . Simmons to the meeting , -who , in a short speech , proposed the folio-wing memorial : — 11 To the RigU HosottraUe Sir James Graham , principal Secretary of State for the Home Department . " The memorial of the inhabitants of Suiton-in-Ash-. field , in the eouxty of Nottingham , agreed to at a public meeting held on Wednesday , September 15 , 1841 .

      " SHEWBrH , —That Samn 6 l Holberry was convicted of conspiracy and sedition , at tha York Spring Assizes , IS-iO , and sentenced to four years' imprisonment in the House of Correction , NorthaUerton . "That soring Ms imprisonment the said Samuel Holberry baa been subjected to the horrid restrictions of tie tflent system , the effects of irhich upon his health and constitution are » o injurious th&t his physical powers are being impaired , Ms legs frequently trweXi , and hii appetite for the prisen diet completely fails him . " That the said Samuel Holberry has yet , according to the time of his sentence , two years and a half imprisonment to suffer , under the unnatural and destructive system of prison discipline , which is fast ruining his health .

      That your memorialists bftlieve that the Government to -which you belong will not suffer a system to exist which is sacrificing the present and future haaltlrof prisoners confined for political offsnces—a system about which there Is something so outrageous to common humanity , in the bare supposition of such cruelty , that your memorialists belieTB that they hare only to lay this case before the present Government in order to secure for the said Samuel Holberry , if not an abbreviation of his term of imprisonment , at least a relaxation of his prison treatment , or , what we yet more earnestly petition for , a removal of the said Samuel Holberry to some other place of confinement where the horrors of the silent system are not inflicted .

      " Th&t your xnernori&ttft * would beg to remind yon that Mr . Medhurst , conricted of manslaughter , has been BetatKberty , lest his health should be impaired , although , while in prison , allowed indulgences to which the said Samael Holberry is a perfect stranger , and that the latter has already endured a long and painful imprisonment ; that to perseTere in inflicting upon him the sentence awarded at the York Assizes will be thought , by a great many in all classes of society , to be excessiTely unjust and partial , and that it will tend to encourage a belief that the rich may do , with impunity , what is inflexibly punished in the poor . " That , having laid these considerations before your honour , your memorialists heps that you will be pleased to intercede in behalf of the said Samuel Holberry .

      " Signed on behalf of the meeting . "Gilbert Mee , Chairman . " Sutton-in-Askfield , " Sep . 15 , 1841 . " The abore was seconded by Mr . D ? an Taylor , who , at great length , went on to prove th&t the Ghartist prisoners had not been punished for any crime agato-t morality or religion , but simply because they held different political opinions from the two contending factions of Whig and Tory , and that class legislation had the effect of driving many an honest man te the contemplation of things , which , by the two factions , are eoMiiiered to be sedition , conspiracy , and treason ; but were they once to prove successful , would cause the authors to be ranked amongst the bravest and most renowned patriots ef the earth , such as Tell ,

      Washington , &c . He then went on to show that nothing short of the People ' s Chatter would restore this ill-fated country to order and prosperity ; and concluded by powerfully impressing upon the minds of his bearers the necessity of enrolling their names as members of the National Charter Ascociation—and sat down loudly applauded . Moved by Mr . J . Simmons , and s * cended by Mr . Win . Blaisdell , ' That the editor of the Northern Stow be requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting in the people's journal . " Three cheers were then given for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the incarcerated Chartists ; three for F . O'Connor and the Korthem Star ; three for the People ' s Charter ; and three for the people—all at the top note—after which , a subscription was entered into for Samuel Holberry , whien still remains cr-en , and which will be forwarded to him in due time .

      BRIGHTON . —The foUo-wing bos b * en received in answer to the Memorial transmitted to the Home Office , by-the Chutists of Brighton , for an amelioration of prison treatment of Satcnel Holberry : — " London , Sept ISth , 1 S 4 I . " Sir , —I have the honour to forward a copy of the letter , I have this day received from the Secretary of State , in answer to the application made fey myself cind Mr . "Wigney , in pursuance of your letter of tie 27 th ultimo , enclosing a Memorial to the Marquis of Normanby , relative to the case of Samuel Holberry . " I am , Sir , " Your very obedient Servant , "Geo . R . Pechell .-" Mr . N . Morling , ; Brighton . " "London , Sept . ISth , 1

      SHSir , —I beg to inform you , that my colleague , Capt Peehell and myself , have received a reply from the Home Office , to your Memorial in behalf of Samuel Holberry , and that it will be communicated to you forthwith , " I remain , " Your obedient Servant , " J . Newton Wigxey . " Mr . 2 fsthanJel Morling , Brighton . "

      COPT 07 BEPLT TO MEMORIAL . " Whiieha . ll , lGth Sept , 1 S 41 . " Gentlemen , —Secretary Sir James Graham having had under consideration tie Memorial tkst accompanied your letter of the 2 Sth ult on behalf of Samuel Holberry , a prisoner in NorthaUerton gaol , I am directed to ^< -qTii » nf you that orders have have been given for the removal of the prisoner to York CaBtle , there to undergo Vie remainder of his sentence , and that the surgeon will be reqjiested to pay constant and particular attention to the prisoner ' s health , and to report thereon , to Sir James Graham , from time to time . " I am , Gsntlemen , " Your mo 3 t obedient humble Servant , 11 3 . M . Phillips . " To Capt PecheH , M . P . ¦¦ J . >' . Wigney , Esq ., MP . "

      Thus it will he seen that whit the Whig Secretary of State , Lord ^ formanby , refused to do on the petition of poor Holberry , the Tory Secretary of State , Sir James Graham , has complied with on the memoi iai of tlie Chartists of Brighton , viz , a removal to some place whers the horrors of solitary confinement were act so much inflicted . Anether nail has been driven in the coffin of WMggery , and driven home and well clinched . Credit is due to the men of Brighton ; they took tte . natter up on the appearance of the letter cf Holberry in the S : zr cf the 14 th ult , and we believe that Brighton feas been the 0 > "LT town th&t hzs sent a niinicriaL K .: terry is removed ; and if he is not better treated tlan vhez in the hell of NcrtLallerton , -we pledge cur Tror 3 that Brighten will memorialize again and again . But we trust that the next removal will be to the bo-sex of his family and friends .

      FIFSSSIHE . —The spirit of discord appears to have reigned rampant here . Corn Law Repeal , ±£ cd duty deception , is ., have but too well E-ccoiapliihed their purpose for awhile , by producing party strife , separation between chit ! friends , confusion , spa ' - hy and iniifference ; trat men are thus disclosed , deserters no loEger impede ; the true friends , with greater facility , urge tfce onward movement . KiS . CALD'S has endured the brant , a goodly few Lave

      borne the test , and emerging from the disaster of defeat , honourably encounter , and determine to r ^ lfrise themselves from burdens which others have abandoned ; an& to be simple , unencumbered , st-sigLifarvrard Chartists . Notwithstanding a total atstinenee mealing in the usual place of assembly , and abstracting cumbers who are supporters of both association 3 , another was procured where a crowded and - enthusiastic audience , received the missionary ' s labour vriti reiterated plaudits till a late hour , ihe committee et .

' its tendency , unity of sentiment and cf effort seems to have been effectual with none . An address , ; lecture , and three Bermpna were received by tolerabL and attentive audiences . The first was delivered in sup port of a resolution , submitted to a public meeting inviting F . O'Connor , E ; q ., which was received witi general acclamation , but wa » also met by most unqua lined censure , from a party be will be at little loss t recognise , as it dates far back as CaUon Hill , criticise the intervening space , and threatens to confront at an ; opportunity . That gentleman's declared intention , wil doubtless furnish cogitations to beads , accustomed to < knwrtitg shake and rejection . " Ah ! be will not conn to Dnnfermline !

      sound . Molgre the sombre hue around and above , a numerous and delighted congregation reciprocated and lauded the sentiments of the speaker j who together with Messrs . Skinner and Biacfeett'a short addresses engaged attention for some two hours . ' The truly Interesting assemt > ly i ardently hoping O / Wanor will not forget Kinross , broke up with loud and long continued cheers for him , their visitor , the charter , and fearieniy expressing opinion whether in the face of day or tha shades of night , bat conducting themselves , and retiring in peaea .

      BOLTOK . —This town is about to bate ftaeif > and take a prominent part in the glorious straggle . A society is formed in Moor Lane ; theyoaTe had bat two meetings , and they now number fifty-flvo members . In the youth ' s society there are tome Very intelligent spirited young men , who bid well to be powerful auxiliaries in the good cause . Upon the whole we are in a flourishing condition . A great deal of our Bueeest la attributed to Mr . Isaac Barrow , who is ready , on all occasions , to forward our cause . He lectured here on last night ( Sunday ) to a thronged and delighted audience .

      ARNOLD—We had yesterday ( Sunday ) out anniversary for our Sunday School at Arnold . Tw « most excellent sermons were had from our worthy lecturer , Mr . Taylor . In the afternoon , he preached from the 46 th Psalm , and 4 th verse— " There is ever the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God , the holy of the tabernacles of the Most High . " And in the evening , from the 17 th chapter of Luke , 34 th , 35 th , and 3 Gth verses— " I tell you in that night there shall be two men in one bed , the one shall be taken and the other left Two v ? omen shall bo grinding together ; the one shall be taken and the ether , left Two men shall be in' the field : the ene shall be taken and the other left . ' "What "wita our CL artist dialogue * and pieces recited by the children , and the two excellent sermons , it has gave a general satisfaction , and will not be Boon forgotten . Our collections amounted to £ 2 Cb .

      BTJRlfiiET . —On Tuesday evening , the 14 th lost Mr . Charles Connor lectured in a large room behind the Commercial Inn , to an overflowing and attentive audience . He made a powerful impression in favour of Chartism . On Thursday evening , the 16 th instant , Mr . James Leach , member of the Executive Council , lectured in the same room , on Trades' Unions . Mr . Leach was at home in his usual argumentative style , and he made a thrilling and soul-stirring appeal , which has brought to us many friends . MORIiET . —Chastits Preaching . —Disgrace-FfL CoNDver of Lekds Teetotallers . —On Sunday lost , Mr . Smith , according to an invitation he hati received , went to Morley to preach a sermon on practical Christianity , and to attend the Morley

      Temperance Festival on the following day . On his arrival ; he found that the Temperance folks had determined to give him no countenance , having , as they stated , been warned by certain parties from Leeds not to receive him , as he was not a teetotaller , but a Chartist . Mr Smith has been a consistent and able advocate of the principles of total abstinence for more than four years , as the parties from Leeds well knew . In order to prevent the intended preaching , a temperance meeting was held fcy Mr . Atkinson and others from Leeds at the hour appointed for divine service , and Mr . Smith gave way , intending to preach in the evening . Mr . Atkinson not content with this mac < B 3 vre , stated that the meeting had been resolved on for two months , that they did not know Mr . Smith was intending to preach ,

      and that if he did not chose to do so , it was no fault of theirs . To this a person in the crowd replied , that it was a lie ; he heard it stated the day before that Mr . S . was not to be received because he was a Chartist , and oDe of the Morley Temperance Society let it eut that the meeting was only resolved on that day . Mr . Atkinson said that another meeting would be held in the evening , bnt as this discovered the plot beyond dispute , Mr . S . mounted the chair , spite of the efforts of the *• liberal" clique to prevent him , and gave them such a ]» shing as they will not speedily forget . He proved that a plot existed in the Leeds Society to pat down any temperance advocate who held the principles of Chartism , and stated that when he came to settle in Leeds a person

      was aesired to make inquiries as to his politics , for the information of ilr . J . Andrews , and that Joseph Parker was not allowed to appear upon their platform , because he was a Chartist . Mr . Atkinson and hia friend winced severelj nnder the flagellation they had brought upon themselves , and attempted excuses , which , like all falsehood ? , contradicted each other . It was truly ludicrous to see the pitiful figure they cut . Mr . Smith preached in the evening to a larjro and most attentive audience , from Acts xxviri . 12 , and was listened to for an hour and a half with breathless attention . Mr . Smith has for ever silenced , in Morley , the objection , that Chartists are Infidels . He intends to pay them another visit shortly . —Correspondent .

      DtTBiXN . —The Irish Universal Association held one of the most animated meetings ever assembled in this city , on Sunday last , Mr . W . Woadman in the chair . The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed ; after which Mr . Henry Clark moved that Mr . Patrick Higgins and twenty others , resident in Stigo , be admitted as members . On the motion of the Secretary six were admitted from Kevrry as members ; and several members moved the admission of eight others resident in Dublinmaking a total of thirtv-fire . Letters from various parts of England , Scotland , and Ireland , were read , which called forth the approbation of all present , many of whom came evidently to oppose , but who from hffttjng tha sentiments of the letterswere

      in-, duced to gire notice to be admitted ' at the next meeting , iir . C . Dojle delivered a most powerful and convincing address , which had the effect of making several persons , who were not members , say that they certainly should become members ; one man in particular was so convinced of hi 3 errora that he came and begged pardon for the opposition he had given , and asked leave to be admitted a member . Mr . Doyle was loudly cheered throughout his address . Mr . 0 Higgins , in a very clear and convincing speech , brought forward the motion of which be baa given notice last Sunday . He said that Mr . Crawford was not only entitled to the thanks , but the gratitude of every real patriot and good man in Ireland , for having divided the House of Commons

      upon the motion for layiDg before the Sovereign a true statement of the real causes of the distress and misary of the people , and of the best , the only mode of alleviating it . The Whig Ministry were not just out , but on the eve of it , when this motion was brought forward ; and it i 3 singular to observe how both Whig and Tory joined in their opposition to it . To him , Mr . O'Higgius , it did not appear strange to see the Whigs and Tories join in opposition to any measure which should have for its object the amelioration of the condition of the great body of the people ; but it must have astonished many a good man who mi&ht have been weak enough to imagine thai the Whigs ever intended doing any act or thing calculated to promote the interests , the comfortsor

      , the happiness of her Majesty ' s subjects . There was not a place-hunter , placeman , or hanger on of the Whig Administration who did not rote either against Mr . Crawford ' s motion , or leave the House without votiDg at all ; and out of all the great professing patriots wnich Ireland Eends to Parliament , there were only two who had the honesty to vote with Mr . Sharman Crawford , and these two are Mr . Powell , member for Limerick County , and Mr . Roach , member for the County Cork . It is not only the duty but the interest of the Irish people to ask where were the O'Connells and Shiels , and the Shiela and O'Connells , when the House ^ divided open the motion ? Where were those fiery patriots who say to their

      dupes" Herditary btndsnjen know you not , Who would be free themselves must strike the blow ?" Why did they not strike the blow when the opportunity was afforded them 1 The Q , neen said that she deplored the distress of her people , and does any one doubt bu ; her Majesty would have recommended the Tories , who were just comins into power to take some measures to relieve the sufferings of the best and most loyal portion of her subjects—tho honest hard-workins classes } ~ So the Whigs would not allow her Msjosty to be made acquainted with the suffering and the privations of her people lest the Tones might have the merit of being in p-jwer when cyme measure might ba recommended from the Throne for the benefit of the people . Well , both factions

      joined to prevent the Queen from obtaining any information whatever upon the very subject aboTe all others which it is right she should be informed of , and which it was the duty of her advisers to lay fully , fairly , and clearly before her . But , instead of this what did these two factions do ! Why nothing less than deceive their sovereign . Neither the one faction nor the other told their sovereign the truth ; but the very reverse . The Whigs told her Majesty that the distress , misery , and privations of her people , were entirely and altogether owing to the duty on foreign corn being regulated and ascertained according to a sliding scale , which proved the average duty for the last twenty years to be 6 s . per quarter , instead of a fixed duty of 8 s . a quarter , which they said vrould cause bread to become cheap , and enable the British manufacturer to compete with the foreign manufacturer , without reducing wages , which appeared to him

      ( Mr . CrHiggins ) to be rather an odd kind of proposition for statesmen to make , or sensible men to entertain , or attempt to foiet npon a nation . On the other hand , the Tories led her Majesty to believe that the distress » nd misery of the country were entirely and wholly attributable to a want of confidence in her Majesty's Ministere . Now , while the t fro factions between whom the country ia plundered , and the people driven to a state of the most unparalleled destitution , Mr . Crawford comes forward like an honest man , and loyal subject , to lay before her _ Majesty the information -which she so much desired . It would be unnecessary for him ( Mr . O'Kiggius ) in a meeting of Irishmen , to say anything in favour of Air . Crawford , as a landlord . ( Hear , hear , "He is one of the best landlords in Ireland . '' ) He lost his seat for Dondalk because he voted for a total abolition of tithes , and against the Whig rent-charge , which le&Te 3 the poor tenant at the mercy of hia landlord , and secures 100 per cent .

      Untitled Article

      to the parsons , this uniting * by the strongest ties of self-interest , the panon and the landlord against ( he poor tenant , who bears the whole burden of the tithe without mitigation , or relief . ( Hear , hear , and " That i 3 true . " ) Mr . Crawford-brought forwtard a motion for the repeal of the Irish Coercion Act . The Irish patriots , that is , those who are well paid for their patriotism , joined all the Tories in the House against Mr . C . ' a motion . He has now given notice of his Landlord and Tenant Bill , » bill founded in strict equity , aad one which Mr . Crawford has . carried into practical operation , on hU own estates . This bill , if carried into law , will do more substantial good to Ireland than any measure that was passed since the Union . C Hear , hear , the tenants will be 7

      paid fer their improvements . ') It will prevent the landlords from taming out the tenantry without paying them for their improvements . When a tenant improves & barren piece of land now , subdues it , and makes it fruitful—either bydraining . shoreing © r clearing—it is taken from him at the whim of the landlord , and given to another at an advanced rent , the consequence of which is that the ejected tenant feels—and very naturally feels—that a robbery has been committed upon him , and not having it in his power to take revenge upon the landlord who had committed it , he wreaks his vengeance upon the tenant in possession . The Whig and Tory press take care to announce every act of violence—or supposed act of violence—of this sort , every

      u Kookite notice" to quit , and very often forges those notices ; but the people of England are never told , by either Whig or Tory journal , that those outrages originate in robbing the tenant of his labour , and turning him and his helpless family adrift upon the wide world , stripped of everything ia the shape of clothing or furniture : thus circumstanced , and thus treated by the heartless Irish landlords , the wonder is that there are not twenty outrages for every one we hear of . Mr . Crawford , ia bringing forward his Landlord and Tenant Bill , may be influenced by a desire to put a total stop to those fearful outrages , to save some of the Irish landlords from the fate which they so very justly merit , as well as by motives of humanity aid true

      patriotism . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) Why is ne not supported by the Irish members ! Because those who profess exclusive patriotism are all , or nearly all , looking for places , either for themselves or their dependants . But the Whigs are out , and it is natural to expect that , as the chances of place are now in abeyance , they wUl begin to vote in favour of the people . Mr . O'Higgins concluded by moving the following vote of thanks to William Sharmaa Crawford , Esq .: — " That the wannest thanks of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association are justly due , and hereby tendered , to Wm . Sharman Crawford , Esq , M . P ., for his truly patriotio effort to lay the real causes of the distress and suffering of the people of this great empire before her Majesty , by proposing the following addition to the Address from the Houeo

      of Commons ; and also for his manliness in dividing the House upon it , and thus enabling the people to distinguish between their true and false friends , between real and sham patriots— That we further respectfully represent to your Majesty that , iu our opinion , the distress which your Majesty deplores is mainly attributable to the ciroumstanoe of your whole people not being fully and fairly represented in this Hou 3 e , and that we feel it will be our duty to consider the means of so extending and regulating the Suffrage , and of adopting such improvements in the sr 3 tem of voting as will confer on the working classes that just weight in the representative body which is necessary to secure a due consideration of their intorest . and which their present patient

      endurance of suffering -gives them the strongest title to claim . ' And this Association also thanks the thirtyeight members who voted with Mr . Crawford upon the occasion , but more especially to Messrs . Roache , Powell , Murphy , Bridgeman , Blackett , Blake , J . O'Brien , C . O'Brien , Sir V . and the Honourable Col . Butler , who are the only Irish members who voted for Mr . Crawford ' s motion . " Mr . Wood , in an effective speech of considerable length , seconded the motion of Air . O'Higgins , after which three tremendous cheers , and one cheer more , were given for . Mr . Crawford , and his landlord and tenant bill ; thanks were also given to the chairman , aad the meeting separated , several as they left the room saying that Mr . Crawford was the only member ia the house who represented the people of Ireland .

      BARKSLBT . —The Barnsley Chartists held their weekly meetiDg on Monday . After the payment of their contributions and the enrolment of soma new members , the following resolution was carried unanimously , " That Mr . J . B . O'Brien be requested to visit Barnsley as soon as he can make it convenient . " MANCHESTER . —On Sunday evening , the Tibstreet roam was crammed . Mr . Griffin was called to the chair , who read two very interesting letters from Mr . Doyle , who was then in Ireland , giving an account of the progress of the cause , and the good which the Star was doing in spreading the principles of Chartism , and removing prejudice in Ireland , which was received with loud cheers . Mr . Benbow then , in a speech replete with interest and of great length , delineated the manners and

      principles of the present times . The Chairman then gave out the notices , one of which was that be would lecture on Sunday evening next . He then read several extracts from Cobden ' s pamphlet on Ireland , which attributed the evils of that country to the fact of its people being Catholics . A gentleman was next introduced who bad arrived from Dublin that day , and who was a companion of O'HiKginjr * ad Brophy , the noble men of the Association there , who spoke for a few minutes in a very affectionate and sincere style , which gave testimony that his heart and soul were ia the cause . He gave a cheering account of the progress of the cause in that country , and the number of respectable men that had and were about to join . He was loudly greeted , and a vote of thanks was tendered him and Mr . Benbow .

      Demonstration Comxtttee . —It is impossible to convev an idea of the general excitement in this town " aud district . The trades are making every preparation : twelve hundred tickets have been issued—just as many as can be accommodated with tea ; but they are not half the quantity which are called for . Go where we will , they have not tickets , and complain most bitterly . People are applying , from morning till night , to those persons who have been advertised in the bill to dispose of them they come in groups to the Committee , and offer three times the money asked for them , but all to no purpose . Many of the most indnstrious . females , who have made colours to carry in the procession , and have hired carriages , grieve much that they cannot procure tickets . There are many active and paying members who cannot get a ticket . Had there been convenience , the Committee might have

      sold 5 , 000 tickets . There never was , poor as the people are , such a general excitement , and what to do to givo satisfaction , they do not know ; A motion was made in Committee last Monday night , to take the Carpenters' Hall , engage another band for a ball , issue another thousand tickets , and arrange with Mr . O'Connor to speak first at the Hall of Science , and then go to Carpenters' Hall , and there speak again , aud thus Eatisfy both parties . The discussion was adjourned tiil Wednesday evening . The Eccles people are preparing breakfast for the patriots . The flag 3 are being silver-gilded and fringed . Every one soems to be doing his best .
