      { hem , to make these statements , that the public sight kaow how to -value them . That , however . fa their"bosiness : vre don't interfere with it . We by ao means consider poverty to be a crime , nor the Wearing of sid in any honourable undertaking to be disreputable - - : nor indeed does it seem that the Committee do soj their case being that the undertaking to which ihey refer was not reputable nor

      honest ; but s compromise of principle , and a virtual tale of such talent as the market void eomma&d . "Without interfering farther ¦ with the personal retort of the Committee , than to say that at least it is not surprising , and has eertainly not been replied to ; we repeat that of the address , as a whole , we most cordially approve , sad are happy to commend it to the attention of oar readers .

      Bui whilst saying this we mast also be peraitted one word upon the petty , attempt in the fixing of this address upon the Northern Star , because " printed at No . 3 , Market-street ; " to establish a general principle which would identify us with every publication that might issue from the presB of Mr . Hobsok in the proseenfcion of his basixess as a general printer . A more dishonest and disingenuous assumption could not have been made . " No . 5 , Market-street , " iB not " the Northern Star office" specially and entirely . It is Mr . Hobsok ' s general printing-office ,

      and he of coarse prims for hire any safe and reputable job that may be bronght to him , just as we have no donbt Mr . Fbedesick . Hobsos , of the Leeds Times , wonld have been very glad to print the address in question : however galling its contents might have been to his editorial partner , the profit would doubtless have reconciled him to the job . Surely , then , Mr . Hobson , the publisher of the Northern Star , being himself an active member of the Leeds Short Time Committee ,

      m ay print at bis office an address from them without its being necessarily " a Northern Star address /' "We note this petty meanness , not because it is worth it , but because it is necessary that the people should keep in mind the fact that the Northern Star is not to be identified with , of responsible for , everything that , in the way of general business , Bay be printed by Mr . Hosson . The least thought will show every one that this is right and reasonable .

      Leaving the Short Time Committees and their ei-devant friend , advocate , and advertising medium , to settle their accounts with each other , we reiterate our call upon the people to uphold the principles which these Short Time Deputies ably and eloquently enforced upon the attention of the Government ; the enhancement of wages , the protection of Labour , and the restriction of the aggressions of Capital upon its rights . We recogaise in the operation of these principles the only medium of rational contentment and national enjoyment ; the only means by which the people can obtain their right and fair share of the good things ¦ which they bring into existence . We know that these principles will never be in operation until the

      people are invested with the power of law-making , held and exercised under -proper circumstances of feeurity ; we recognise this power and these circumstances in the provisions of the Chaster ; and , therefore , since the promulgation of that document , the Northern Storhas never " agitated , " and while in our hands it never Ehall ** agitate , " for any legislative measnre , save the Charter ; the great mean 3 to all good ends , social and political . It has ever , and , while we contaroul it , shall ever , at all fitting opportunities and proper seasons , keep fully before the people the discussion of those great measures of relief to the obtaining of which the Charter is invaluable as a means , and without ¦ which it would become utterly valueless as an end . . , -. . . ... - . ^^ , j ^

      DECISION OF THE MINISTRY UPON THE FACTORY QUESTION . Is the plenitude of their anxiety to bespatter the Short Time Deputies "with all possible abuse , the Whig hacks and hirelings—the organs of the bone and sinew grinders—have most lustily vociferated that the whole thing was a Tory trick ; that the hoax had been " get up" for tie purpose of throwing dust into the eyes of the working people , and leading them off the scent of Corn Law Repeal ; when lo I in the very midst of all this jabber and u beslaverment" comes a letter addressed by Loed Ashley fa > the Short Time Committees of Cheshire , Lancashire , and Yorkshire , stating ihat Sir Robebt Peel has definitely announced his intention to oppose the Bill for shortening ihe time of labour in the factories . We learn this from the Loi don papers of

      Thursday , after our preceding article was written ' We give the letter : — " London , Feb . 2 , 1842 . * Gentlemen , —It is with the deepest regret that I am obliged to announce to you that Sir Robert Peel h& 3 signified his opposition to the Ten Hours' Bill ; and I conelade , therefore , as you will conclude , that his reply must be taken as the reply of the whole Government on this important question . " Though painfully disappointed , I am not disheartened , nor am I at a loss either what course to

      take , or what advice to give . I Ehall persevere unto my last hour , and so must you . We must exhaust every legitimate means that the Constitution affords , inpeiitions to Parliament , in public meetings , and in friendly conferences with your employers . But ws "mxat infringe no law , and offsad no proprieties . V ? e mnst all work together as responsible men , who will one day give an account of their motives and actions . If this course be approved , no consideration Ehall detach me from your cause—if not , you must select another advocate . 14

      1 know that , in resolving on this step , I exclude myself altogether from the tenure of office . I rejoice in the sacrifice ; happy to devote the remaiDQtr oi my days , be they many of be they few , a 3 God in his wisdom shall de : « rmine , to an effort , however laborious , to ameliorate your moral and social condition . " I am . Gentlemen , " Your faithful friend and servant , "Ashlet . "

      We Euppose that Lord Ashley will not be alone " disappointed . " He will have for participators in ihis painful feeling all the " extension" barkers who have been splitting their throats with the cry of " Tory fraud , " "impudent hoax , " " dishonest " move intended to beslaver the Tory Ministry , " &e-j &c ., &c We feel not as all disappointed . We know too much of Sir Robt . P-eei . to expect anything good from him . We know too much of both factions to expect any good from either of them ; and we hold every indication of their real character to be valuable , as far as it must shew the people the necessity of depending only on themselves .

      SECESSION OF THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM . ¦ Thb Dnke of Bttckixgham ha 3 separated himself from Sir Rojebx Peel's government . The intended modification of the Corn Laws is said , by the Times to be matter of dispute . On all other points it is maintained ihat the Government will still have his Grace ' s cordial support .

      TRICKS OF THE TRADERS . ADULTERATION OF SUGAR . From the Dublin World of Saturday , we take the allowing paragraph , descriptive of one of the mtdes by which ihe now-a-days " respectable" trader « &in » ge » to cheat a living out of the clae * he affects to despise , and at the bare mention of-whose name he tarns up his nose as he would were a pole-cat stuck right smack onder it : — " The mannfflctare of Bpuriom eogu , by a method » niea ig met * unwholesome , vix , mixture with p * Utoe torch , la carried on in Ma-chaster and Idverpool to »

      ¦ extent , and a quantity of tie article it is suspected has found iU way into tee shops of some of our Dublin grocers . The way to detect tte infaaious compound , is aa toUom : —If a little of the suspected sugar is completely dissolved in hot water , and a few drops of iodine be poured into it , the mixture , if the sugar be genuine , Trill be of n reddish colour ; but if adulterated -with starch , it vi 1 immediately become a very deep blue or purple , approaching black , the depth of colour being in proportion to \ hn amount of the starch . " _ The World is right as to the " stcn used for this adnlterauon j but the practice is carried on to a

      Untitled Article

      much greater extent than he seems to know of . The stuff used is , as he says , potatoe starcb , before it is calcined , or made into ** British gum , " for the use of calico printers . In the ordinary using of sugar the mixture is not apparent : the starch being very soluble , it mixes with the lignid , tea or coirVe , as soon or sooner than the sugar itself . The starch used for this purpose is iua fine powdered state ; not " lumpy , " as the washerwoman ' s starch is . We have been aware for some time of the practice here pointed out , and have been looking fora fit opportunity to expose it . The practice is not confined to Manchester , Liverpool , and Dublin . It

      prevails m Leeds to a tery great extent ! and we have rea « 09 for saying that it ia generally practised by most of the " large" sugar dealers iu all parts . We know of one *• bouse" who not long ago offered to take from a manufacturer of potatoe starch , forty or fifty tons of the article in au uncalcined state , if he would " put it in" at 2 f dper lb . ; and , as an inducement , the ' ? hoase" offered to take almost any quantity ; for the first forty or fifty tons would soon be disposed of . The starch manufacturer "could not take l ? ss then threepence per lb . ; " so "the-affair was off . " The eagar dealer got the starch somewhere else , where the parties could meet him at his price .

      J < ow then , let the reader look here . The sugar dealer buys this stufi ' at 2 | d . per lb ., and he mixes it with sugar that he sells at 8 d . per lb . He thus ells the starch at 8 d . per lb . too ! Let us suppose that he gives 3 d . per lb . for the rubbish ; and that be disposes of forty ton 3 of the " powder-starch" in three y > ars . He will , by these means alon ? , pocket the enormous sum of £ 1 , 866 . ' 3 s- U . ' . W He will get this , as the difference between the price he buys the starcb at , and

      the prica he sells it for ! and the public will have to pay him this astounding amovmt of money out of their " poor and diminished mean ? , for 89 , 600 pounds of an infamous and unwholesome ar ; icl ^ , mixed with that which is good when pure and alone . And the parties that practice these things are " respectable . " They are fit to be enfranchised ! They are not " ignorant" uneducated" producers of wealth ; but they are " men of character' *! " men ' of weight '' . ' ! " men of standing" ! !! Out upon them I iks highwayman is more honest 11

      The World gives a plan by which the adulterated mixture may be detected . We are glad he has done so , and have great pleasure in extending a knowledge of it . We hope every buyer of sugar to retail amongst the working classes , will take care to test the aniclo offered to Dim by the " great" dealers , before he purchases . He might as well have su ^ ar for his money aa starch 1 Tho former will be more sernceable to Ms customers than the latter ! The World will be surprised , perhaps , to learn that the majoT portion of the axti / le used in this adulteration , is manufactured in Ireland . There is no wonder that " it has found its way into some of the Dublin shops . " There is some little of it manufactured in England ; bm by far the greater part , boih for adulterating sugar , and , when calcined , for use at the print-works , to prevent the colours from running ^ into one another , is brought over from Ireland . Who it was tint first commenced ihe

      practice the World now exposes , we know not ; but , whoever he was , he ought to be completely clued up !

      Derby . —The friends of this neighbourhood having communications for the Star , or otherwise affecting the Chartist movement , are requested to send them to Mr . Thomas Briggs , car « ofMr . JohriMosSjShoemaker i Plumptre-sqtiare , Parley-Jane , Derby . Monet Orders to this Officb . —Our cashier is frequently made to endure an amount of inconvenience utterly inconceivable by those who have not multifarious transactions like his to attend io , by the negligence of parties not attending lo the plain instructions so often given , to make all money orders sent here payable to Mr . John Aroill . Some orders are made payable to Mr . O'Connor—some to Mr . Hobson—some to Mr . Hill—some to Star Office : all these require the

      signatures of the person in whose favour they are drawn before the money can be got . This causes an attendance at the post office of , sometimes , several hours , when a few minutes mig ht suffice \ f all were rightly given—not to mention the most vexatious delays of payment sometimes caused by it . Several old agents , who certainly ought to know better , have often thus needlessly inconvenienced us ; we , therefore , beg that all parlies naving money to send to the Star Office for papers , by o ? der , will make their orders payable to Mr . John Ardiix ; if they neglect this , tee shall not hold ourselves bound to attend io them ; if , therefore , they find their neglect to produce inconvenience to themselves , let them not blame us .

      Thomas Hcrst . —The reason why we had not a longer report of the lute Slave meeting at the Leeds Music Hall arose from the fact that no information was given to us that ** the people " intended to be present , and take a part in it . It was by the merest accident that our Publisher heard of the meeting , and was therefore enabled to be present . Had the necessary information been afforded to us , the Reporter in the office would have had instructions given io him to attend . As it was , he had hot , nor could he have any such instructions . He did learn accidentally oj the meeting , and hurried to it as soon es his other engagements permitted ; but got there just in time to see the close . The absence of our Reporter was matter of great regret , and steps were taken at the time to remedu

      it . Before the meeting dispersed the Reporter present who had taken notes of the proceedings , was offered any sum he liked to charge for a full report , for the Star . He refused to let us have it , giving what appeared to him to be a sufficient reason for such refusal . Thus were we left without report , except a short descriptive one furnished by one of the speakers at the meeting . It often happens that that which is the most obvious of all . duties , gets neglected , or forgotten . In this case , it was cletrly the duly of the friends , when they had come to a determination to attend , to apprise us of such intention ; but " what is everybody * * business is nobody ' s business ; " and thus things get neglected . We do not blame any one for this omission ; toe only state the fact in explanation , and lo obviate any such emission in future .

William Ironmonger writes us in explanation of a portion oj his speech at the late mason ' s meeting in Bath , which he says has been misconstrued by some of the members of the Operative Masons London Trade Society . H-. begs to say that ike statement alluded to was never intended to apply to any portion of their society . The words in question read thus : ¦ — "At last a soeiety of blacks was formed , and Allen thought tie should be supported by ' thai J > pdyj but he would find that the jcb would not be completed by other than Stciety men . ' " The society of blicfcs , " Mr . I says , * ' was not formed till long after the above society had been kindly solicited lo take

      our places , and had most maiifully refused ; and I have many times declared , both in public and private , the noble and manly part their society has taken in the struggle . " Mb . Stott , Maschesteb . —Mid day last Thursday we received a letter from this gentleman ( cut from the Dundee Chronicle , ) relative to the charges made by a number of the Manchester Chartists against Mr . R . J . Richardson . The late hour at which it was then received prevented its appearance in that week ' s Star . This week the letter ( with a few observations upon itj is in , type ; but the press of matter cwseguent on the London meetings and ihe opening of Parliament , compel us to defer i s insertion to our netrt . This cannot inconvenience either the writer or the subject of the letter , as it had been published a fortnight before it was sent to us .

      ASHTON-UNDER- LYNE . MaSOKS STRIKE .- Our Manchester Correspondent received en Saturday a letter , dated January 27 th , and signed w t 7 . Sharpe , " requesting his attendance at a meeting on behalf of the Masons' Strike . The letter did not say when the meeting was to be holden , he therefore of course could not attend it . He writes- us that invitations have gone to him in the same vague manner , at different times , from several places . This is to be regretted , as it may cause much unnecessary trouble and

      disappointment . Parties wishing their proceedings reported should give all necessary information . A Real Demockat . —Thanks for his care and watchfulness . C . S ., St .

      RATCLXFFE BRSDGE .-The Corn Law repealing manufacturers' sympathy in this district is quite consistent with those of Stoekpprt , Manchester , and other places . They appear to be anxious to feed and clothe the poor when at public meetings , and pive them cheap bread ? yet at the same time , by their conduct , they are , making not only the food 'dear . . to the working classes , but all other necessaries , by taking a portion of their ; waftts fpom thea , under the plea of bad work , when nothing is amiss with it , and by making almost every week great reductions . Only a fortnijght ago , the twist winders could earn 15 s . per week , but inconsequence

      of a reduction whioh has been made , they can only earn 7 s . 6 d . at the present time , Machinery is beinj ; improved , and new machinery brought into requisition , and every scheme which genius can discover is snatched at , for the purpose of obviating the necessity for manual labour . Servants are being discharged by their Coin Law repealing masters who have worked for them upwards of twenty years . fhey stop 2 d . per head at one mill for broken £ laBB , although many work not by a window , and who have never broken any . At another mill they are taking as much as 2 d ; a bunch off the winders . The people arc in great poverty and want . —Correspondent . .

      MANCHESTEEH . —On Monday evening , a respectably dressed young man came to the Temperance Hotel , kept by Mr . Brown , and obtained lodgings for the . night . Next morning , he came down , and walked through the house , and it was soon after found that he had taken a pair of blankets from , the bed . He had no bundle in his hand when he went out , and it is supposed he had them wrapped round his ; body . Mr . Brown went in pursuit , but the villain could not be found ; Anti Corn Law Frauds— -The Bazaar Cheat .

      —Many foolish pwsons in Manchester have been lately floeced of their money by the anti-Corn Law League , under the pretence of exhibiting a bazaar * the admission to Which was advertised to be one shilling ; and which was , of course , expected to entitle the donors to a , view of all the fine things there ; but which turned out to be merely an introduction to the payment of another shilling ; as the rareo show is dmdea into three rooms * the first of which the customer sees for his shilling ' . } but is r-mnten for another sixpence at the door of each of the others .

      NOTTINGHAM .-On Saturday night last , while Mrs . Smith , news agent , Wareer-gate ^ was engaged uttending to her customers , some person stole , from off the counter , a box containing contributions for th ^ Chartist victims .

      SrOCKPOBtV GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE CHARTISTS OVER THE CORN LAW REP « ALERS . On Ttiesdayevening , a large and crowded public meeting of the inhabitants of Stockport was held in the Court ; House , convened by the Mayor , in obedience to a request of several influential members of the Stockpdrt anti-Corn Law Association , to address her Majesty , and petition both Houses of Parliament for a total abolition of the Corn and Provision Laws ; . . : ¦ . ¦ ¦• ¦ ' .- '" " The Mayor occupied the chair ; and , after opening the meeting with a few observations , and reading the placard , he calied upon some speaker to propose the first resolution . Henky Marsland , Esq ., M . P . for the Borongh , rose for that purpose ; and , after scanning at some

      of the leading Chartists , who occupied seats near him upon the . platform , he introduced a . motion to the effect—that , lamenting the prevailing distress in the manufacturing districts , it attributed that distress mainly to the unjust taxes on corn and provision . He dwelt upon the injustice of all monopolies , particularly upon food ; and called for the union of all classes of society for the purpose of remedying the distresses under which the labouring popalation laboured . Sir Ralph Pendleburt , Knight , one of the anti-Corn Law League , seconded the motion with great confidence . He was delighted to see the spirit with which the question had been taken ! ap by the public , and the progress it had made upon all clasees . The manner in which the anti-Corn Law Bazaar had

      been supported on that and the preceding day was very satisfactory ; indeed , he had " to wait half-an-hour before he could possibly obtain admission to the Theatre where the bvjaar was held . It would strike the government of this country with dismay . They could not much longer withhold from the people their undoubted rights . ( HearO The same government had denied the franchise to Manchester , Birmingham , and Leedgbut what was the consequence 1 Why the passing of the Reform Bill . There would be sucha pressure in Parliament this session on the question of the Corn Laws , that Sir Robert Peel could not deny the country an instalment towards repeal , and by the next session they would be enabled to get more . than they

      wanted . All were alive to the grosa evila of the protective system , and the encoaragement of laws which precluded us from the advantages of reciprocity and free trade with other countries who are desirous of taking our goods in exchange for their productions . He had the other day commissioned a friend of his in Liverpool to proenre him a cask of South American pork and another of beef . It had arrived in Stockport ; the price of the article was threehalfpence per pound , but the prohibitory duties had raised the Cost to threepence per pound . Now this was a great evil to preclude good wholesome food from coming into this country except at rates equal to to the original cost of the article . He could

      assure them that the meat was capital and as good as any meat men / need require . He had now a piece of the bacon hangiDg up in his larder ready for use , and a particular friend of hia who had tasted . the meat had pronounced it excellent I But the operation of the provision laws , by excluding good meat from other countries , kept the price of beef , ¦ &c . in this country at a rate utterly beyond the reach of the labouring classes . He wanted free trade in beef and other provisions , and everything el « e , and hoped that the working men had suffered so much by the present distress , which had arisen from the Corn Laws , that they were now prepared to join heart and hand with the middle class to abolish ihe Corn aud Pro-¦

      vision Laws . ¦ . ; ..- ' . ; ¦ " ¦ i >^ i-iir > 'T . '' i » rfe ^\ :,. Mr . Thomas Clarke , a Chartist ,-was as anxious &s any man for a union and a reconciliation between tke labouring and the middle classes for the obtainment from the Legislature of justice to all . They had been too long divided ; but it wag equally evident that nothing could be beneficial to the nation Hniess it had the cordial co-operation of the toiling millions . ( Hear . ) To prove his real desire , for union , be would suggest that the proposition which he intended to introduce , should be tacked to the motion , and not be brought forward as a distinct and separate matter as an amendment , the latter being in fact the cause and the origin ; the motion being the effect . In the absence of Universal

      Suffrage , bad laws had been made , of which the Corn Law was one . Had the people had a voice in making these laws , the evils complained of -by the Houourable Member for Stackport , would not now have existed . Therefore , the absence of political power to the people wa * the ; the cause of the distress ; aud the Corn Laws , whioh he disapproved of as much as any man , were the effect , ( Hear , ) All that he desired was that ia the proposition which is to be the Toice of this meeting to Parliament , the casse should precede the effect—if that was acceded , the union of both classes was at once effected . He proposed

      " that while we deprecate the Com Laws as being unjust and oppressive , we consider them to be the effeotB of the same causewhioh brought into existence the New Poor Law , the Coercion Bill , the Rural Police , and a variety of other bad laws ; and , further that weare of opinion that there will be no change that will permanently benefit the people until they got political power through the adoption of the People ' s ChaTter as the law of the land . " ( Cheers . ) This he wished to go before the resolution of Mr . Marslands . He concluded by calling upon his friend , Mr . Doyle , the future representative of this district in the National Convention , to second the motion , .

      Mr . Doyle , on rising , was received with much applause . His Bpeeoh , which occupied nearly an hour in delivery , was an exposition of sorao ' ¦ . of toe leading fallacies of the day , and was in effect an able and well-digested address upon political economy , taking in his course the principal grievances which militated against the comforts of the people , and the property of the nation , until he arrived at the climacteric and the panacea for all ' Onr political evils and imperf ' e 6 tion 8—namely , the principles of the People ' s Chartar , and the indisputabie right of every man , who is expected to obey the laws ; to have an uninfluenced voice in the making of them .

      Mr . CorPocK endeavoured to reply to the different points adduced by Mr . Doyle , but he lost his way . He termed the cry for other remedies than that of the Corn Laws "herr ing trails , " to divert the people from the real scent . He repudiated the idea of cultivating waste landSj on account of the great expance ; money would have to be raised at seven per cent ., while theBpeculation would not yield in return two and a half . He declared himself disappointed in the Reform Bill , and amongst those who betrayed the people , he said the late Henry Hunt

      was conspicuous for having retained the rights of freemen . vHe said he was favourable to aii extension of the suffrage , and would go with them if they woHld bnlyhelp the G « rn Law repealers . ( Cries of 'VWe ' ve been done once . " ) He said he had great confidence in theworkihg people of Stockport , and hoped they would not be led astray by their illjudged and indiscreet leaders . ( " Oh !") Ho admitted that the repeal of the Corn Laws would not raise wages , but it would reduce the price of bread ; and trusted in the co-operation of the people in the obtainmentofthis great political right , ;

      Mr . A . Campbeli . endeavoured to conciliate the two propositious , and told the Chartists if they did not unite they might lose all . Mr . Clarke said he was willing to meet the meeting half way ,: If they would support his proposition , he would support theirs . The want of Universal Suffrage was the grand cause of all . The principles of himself and party were "Uaiversal Suflrage , and no surrender . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . Dotle expressed him $ elf in similar term ? . The Chairman having conferred with the leaders of the repeal party , saw thei « was no probability of a reconciliation , and therefore be should put the motions . r X .. ¦ ¦'¦' : -, . . " . . .. . ^ After some delay , on the show of hands , the Mayor said he . felt himself placed in a very uncomfortable situation . He was most anxious to acknowledge the truth . He , however , decided that the motion of the anti-Corn Law party was lost , and thereapon declared the meeting dis-olved .

      The ChartistB gave three cheers for their victory ; three for the Cnsirmp ; and three for the Charter . After whioh the meeting separated . HT 3 KRAH FOR THK CHARTER !
