      fHE BOOT AND SHOE MAKERS OF SYDNEY , NEW SOUTH WALES , TO THE BOOT AND SHOEMAKERS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . Fellow Countrymen , —In consequence of the master boot and shomafcers of Sydney having Bent to England a flittering circular dated the 27 th of Octobjr , 1840 , one or the copies of -which we have received from London by one of our trade , Robtrt Mathews , late of the Old Biiley , London , purporting to be ft statement of the wages given for closing and making boots and shoes in this colony , who was therefore induced to emigrate in order to better his condition .

      On the arrival cf Mathews he applied for work to Mr . Sloroan , vbo was at that time secretary to the society of master boot and shoemakers , tut was told by him that he could not find work for the man assigned to him . Mathews told Mr . Sloman that he brought a statement of the Sjdney ^ wages ¦ with him . Sloman laughed and told him that wasone of the Btatemests be had sent home , and that he had sent them to all the grindery shops he could think of in England , Ireland , and Scotland . The Government here are perfectly aware of the superabundance of boot and shoemakers in this coloDy aid will not pay passage money for any to come out belonging to the trade .

      The 8 hopma * e 3 are probably not aware of the extensive importation of boots and shees of all kinds^—the quantity is sufficient to supply the wants of the inhabitants solely . We have therefore to contend with the imported -work and the exorbitant demands of the landlord . Wo have left eur native homes where we bad the society of our friends to sympathise with us in our distress or efflictions , bui the blessing of sympathy is a stranger to the stores of New Holland , and the greater -uumber of emigrants complain after their arrival here that they have been deceived by the flattering accounts that are circulated at home respecting this coIodv .

      A small honse , containing three apartments , the weekly rent will not be Jess than £ l 5 s . Oil ; with four apartments , £ 1 15 a . ed ., and it must be borne in mind that the market is liable to Jjreat fluctuations , as we depend as much on foreign produce for tbe staff of life as we do on the produce of this colony . The rate of the market is as follows : — s . d . & d . Bread , the 21 b- loaf 0 6 Sugar per 1 b . ... 0 1 B : ef and iiutton Coffee per lb . ... 1 4 psr lb 0 5 Potatoes per lb .... 0 3 ^ Pork per lb .... ... 0 10 Cabbage per head Bu-. ter fresh psr lb . 3 6 from Ito 3 Cheese per lb . ... 1 G Peas per peck ... 3 0 Oatmeal per lb . ... 0 C All other vege-Milk per qaart from ltoS tiblea squally Tea per lb 3 0 high

      Coming to a new colomy , to a mau who has a family in order to make a provision for them is , we must allow , a very commendable ol jsct Ths emigrant leaves his home with a vit-w after a few year's nard labour with the accumulation of Lis -wages to purchase a poxtica of l&nd , that he may sit dovrn and end his days in ease and comfort , and see bis family placed in independence around him . Alas ! hovr great his diappointment ; instead of "buying land he ¦ will find the calls cf his family in providing them with food , raiment , and shelter , more than what his earnings will amount to , nut to spfal : of education , which is high in proportion with other thiars . Tnere are shoemakers at this time in Sydney who have large families , and who cannot g < . t a scat of work . The unemployed single msn are by far more numerous , &ud tke same system of -waiting the pleasure of the employers in getting 'work out is practised here as much as in England .

      We have therefore tbonght it our indispensible duty to gu ^ rd you from being duped as others cave been by tbe specious eDCouragemunts that are published at home .

      SARN 8 LEY .- —Visit of Mr . O'Connor . —Mr . O'Connor paid his long-expected visit to Barnsley on Saturday last . The meeting was announced to beheld in the Odd Fellows' Hall , at eight o ' clock , bat long before that hour the approaches to the town from the railway were thronged with dense masses of the working men , anxiously awaiting the arrival of the champion of their rights . Mr . O'Connor however did not arrive until nine o ' clock j when his appearance was hailed "with a tremendous cheer ; he looked in excellent health and spirits , and as ready to battle with tyranny as three years ago , when he last visited Barneley . The people now repaired to the hall which , which , in the course of a few minutes , was densely filled ; and from the

      occasional interruption of the door , we should say that a great number could not gain admisssion . The extensive gallery was crowded by the fair supsorters of the Charter . One striking feature in the meetiDg was the large number of Mr . O'Connor ' s countrymen , who in this town are prominently characterised by their firm adherence to the good cause . On the motion of Mr . Mirfield , Mr . Vallance was called to the chair , whojaftera few remarks , gave way for Mr . Mirfield to move the first resolution , which was as follows : — " That it ia the opinion of thiB meeting that the great distress at present pervading this once happy country is the result of class legislation , and that there is no hope of redress for the industrious

      millions but in the People ' s Charter becoming the law of the land . " The resolution having been seconded , the chairman then introduced Mr . O'Connor , who , on coming forward , was received with the most enthusiastic and tremendous cheers . Mr . O'Connor , after expressing the great pleasure he felt at again meeting his Barnsley friends , proceeded , in his usual forcible and eloquent manner , to comment upon the distress so widely existing at the present time—the causes of that distress—the quack remedies proposed by the present Goverument—and lastly , the measures that must be adopted to save the nation from irretrievable ruin , and restore permanent happiness and prosperity to the industrious classes . Towards the

      conclusion of his address , Mr . O'Connor alluded and replied to certain calumnies propagated against him in hia absence , by Mr . William Ashton , who has lately left Barnsley for America . Mr . O'Contor ' s statements gave general satisfaction , and after speaking an hour and a half , he sat dotvn amidst the oft-repeated cheering of his delighted auditors . The first resolution was then put and earned unanimously . Mr . M . Segrave moved tbe secondresolution— " That the sincere thanks of this meeting are justly due , and hereby given , to our unflinching advocate , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., for his strenuous exertions in the cause of freedom and tbe rights of industry ; and this meeting declares that Mr . O'Connor ' s character shall never be lessened in their esteem by the Blander of any paid or interested

      miscreant , be he whom he may . " Mr . Eneas Daly seconded the resolution . Mr . George Julian Harney , from Sheffield , spoke in its support ; and after a few words from Mr . Ward , it was put and carried by acclamation . Mr . James Noble moved the third resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Peter Hoey , and carried unanimously— " That the best thanks of this meeting are hereby given to the members of the late Convention , for the unanimity of purpose which characterised their deliberations in their advocacy of the rights of the people . " Mr . O'Connor returned thinks , and thanks having been voted to the Chairman , the meeting dissolved . [ Mr . Harney took copious notes of Mr .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR , —I have recently received my share cf the Blander and abuse .

Tbo curreiit and xniacbievbus reports against me caused me to solicit the council to institute an inquiry touching the nialter in question ; a time wti 8 fixed upon ia order to investigate the validity of the evil accusations . The affair was patiently listened to by the Council . Their decision terminatedininy absence , however they have kindly sent me the result of tbeir deliberation , which is in their own words as follows t— " At a meeting of the General Council of the National Charter Association , held in Brown-street Koom on Tuesday evening , May tke 10 th , 1842 , some charges having been preferred against Mr .

      The Children ' s Employmeht Commission Report . — " I will conclude this letter by a few words about the most extraordinaty , Inhuinatt , barbarous , but truly philosophic speech , which was , as I believe , ever delivered in the hearing of human beings !—a speech in which the most terrible tortures , practised upon women , children , and infants in our coal-mines , were palliated and extenuated ! I deeply regret that the audience Were British Peers ; I mourn that the speaker was ; a noble philosopher of our own county , whose ; name was , when I was ayouth , the spark which lit the hearts of patriots into a flame ! How are the mighty fallen ' . —how is the fine gold become dim ! What havoc has covetoueness , * that passion for accumulation , which has no limits' —what havoc

      has that spell from the regions of darkness made on the charaoterof our race ! How has it brutalised some even of our nobles ! That book of murder * The First Report of the Children's Employment Commissioners , ' has caught the eye of Earl Fitzwilliam : he has read it ; and having surrendered himself to the principles of philosophy , he does not shudder at its contents , but in his plaoe in the House of Lords , if he ia not misreported , - , 'he has coolly asserted , amongst other thihgsi'That the narrow ness of' some of the coal seams in some of the pits rendered it necessary that persons of small 8 iz 8 ( why npt say at onGe infants of three or four years old and upwards ?) ehould work them . ' 'What would his Lordship think , if , when the tables are turned ( as probably they soon will be under the

      new tariff ) , his grandchildren should be thus tortured and oppressed ? The being who can palliate the crime of working infants , as they are described by the Gommissioners to be worked in those narrow ' seams , ' may be a philosopher and a noble ! a man he cannot be . !¦ .. '¦ Let my fate be what it may , I shall ever rejoice that God has counted ^^ ine worthy to bean instrument in arousing tho attention of the people and the Government to the cpaditioh of the infantile slaves , who are the foundation and the unhappy victims of our grand manufacturing and Commercial operations 1 The truth is now told—England knows it j and although a wise philosopher , & proud Peer of Britain , may assert that it is * neces-Sart , ' justice pronounces it to be a damning crimb !" - ^¦ Oastlcr ' sFleetPapers .

      Trades' Unions . —The following address , published by the Blaokburn Chartist 3 is worthy of serious consideration by artisans of the kingdom eenerally : — " To tho variousi trades and societies of Blackburn . —Friends , —It is time that all trades and societies were united in one great union , for tho purpose of obtaining those political privileges ! which are your birthright ; those privileges which only can raise you to that position in society you ought to occupy , and which Only can secure to yoa a fair equivalent for your labour . The object for which trades' unions

      were formed wa 3 to protect tha labouring man , to keep up his wages and to prevent his master"from exercising an undue influence brer him ; and on them thousands of working men have placed their confidence . Havd they realised the object for which , they were formed \ kept up wages or protected the rights of the working man ! Let the impoverished condition of tho operatives of this country answer the questions ; they do indeed stand as bulwarks betwixt the oppressed and the oppressors , bat huve failed of their intended effects . Has not reduction

      after reduction taken place in your wages ! your labour has been left unprotected by the laws ^ and in consequence has continually decreased in value . New inventive powers of production which ought to be blessings to all classes of the community , have been but death poals to the hopes of tho working man . The productive power of the country has increased to forty times the amount of the power in existence in 1770 , yet the real producers of wealth , the persons vFho have filled our markets and granaries , and glutted the country with abundance , are starving in the midst of plenty . The strange anomaly of too much .-of every thing , and privation and Buffering , affl'Cts British society . Instead of the working man , after having prod need all this abundance , being ; able

      to enjoy tho fruits of his labour . Or when old age creeps on to find a homo among the green fields of his own native land , he is forced to emigrate to a foreign country , or be incarcerated in a bastile . Friends , wo conceive the cause of all the evils te be class legislation , the interests of the few are ; promoted in direct opposition to the interests of the many . The working people have produced all those luxuries which exist in such abundance , but by not having a voice in forming the laws , th « y are prevented from enjoying them , and taxation without representation is tyranny , and ought to be resisted . Friends , the Charter has been projected and its golden letters displayed to the people , yet the mass have hesitated to advance ; if the trades would declare for tlie Charter , their high moral position

      mental capacity , and general information would immediately insure its adoption , Arise then and organise 1 rally round the standard of freedom , strike at the root of our grievances ^ ^ ( class legislation ) make the Charter the law of the land , give labour its due reward , and England will ; . yet , be the admiration of the world , a- model to surrounding nations . Th-n let the trades unite with the National Charter Association ; let one great blow be sfcruckat the citadel of corruption -. and * it . will bury beneath its ruin the oppressor of the working man .

      TO THE PEOPLE OF YORKSHIRE . My Dear Friends , —I have just addressed the meu of Nottingham in the Market Square ; and when 1 conclude my week's labour , I shall have addressed the people of Lancashire , Yorkshire , Warwickshire , Leicestershire , Derbyshire , ( twice ) and Staffordshire , in seven days ; that is , I shall have travelled , at leasts one-fourth of England within that time ; and as I was to have been at Huddersfield On Monday , I must really , from absolute inability , claim a week's rest , and postpone my visit to Yorkshire till Monday week . The fatigue of travelling , writing , conversing with working men , iand the exhaustion consequent upon speaking , and remaining in rooms hot as ovens for five or . six hours a da . y i is more than a steel man could endure at thia season . of the year ; and I have the vanity to believe that my friends do not want to kill me .

      I mean to be in Huddersfield on Monday week , the 30 h ; Halifax , Tuesday , 31 st jBradrord , Wednesday , 1 st June ; Keighley , Thursday , 2 ud ; Dews ^ bury , Friday ; and Todmorden or Hebden Bridge , ( tho Association must arrange which , but being within two and a half miles of each other , both is too much ) on Saturday . On the following Monday , I plico myself under the management of Beesley , for North Laucashire , for four days or a week , if possible . ¦ ¦ ..- ' ' In the meantime , however , I am commissioned bythe Chartists of Nottingham to say that they consider my presence , from next week till the close of the election , as indispensible ; and have requested of me most urgently to make an appeal to those places Co which I stand pledged for leave of absence , until tho battle shall be fought here .

      You must know our exact position . Mr . Sturge arrived here yesterday , and was met by upwards , of 20 , 000 people , and upon mounting the platform in the niidflt of a dead and portentous silence , one of our Nottingham leaders , the brave Sweet , by order of the electorsand non-electors put the question to Mr . Sturge , " Will y > u vote for the Charter whole and entire ?" and to which Mr . Sturge answered , "I

      unequivocally PLEDGE MYSELF TO THE SUPPORT OF EVERY PRINCIPLE CO . NTAINLD IN THE PEOPLE ' S ClURTER . " A vast number of Tories who doubted Mr . Sturge's real object ia having adopted those principles , and who hoped for a laugh and triumph over Mr . Sturge and the Chartists , hung their heads , and grew pale , and sneaked off , amid Chartist cheer 3 that rent the air . Tlie question was put to the Chartists of Lei ces'ter Jast night , in tho Amphitheatre , whether or npt Feargus O'Connor should ^ go ~ ~ to Nottingham to aid the Chartists in returning Mr . Sturge , when eviry hand was held up for going on the mission , and not a single hand , of course , against it . We must bear in mind that Nottingham struck the last blow at Whiggery ; and Nottingham now iaJm 3 the first blow at Torjism . Every working man iu Nottingham , elector and non-elector , has pledged his adherence to the Six points of the Charter , ; and to the support of Mr . Sturge .

      And now , my friends , just for a moment behold how my prophecy has been fulfilled ; 1 have told you a thousand times over that the existence of three parties in the state was inconjpatiblo with the existence of peace , law , and order , and that sooner or later the fight between Chartism and Toryism would be sure to come , bwt not till intriguing was annihilated . Here , then , is the fulfilment of m ^ prophecy in the present position of Ijfottisghaia . Here , then , is the odium oi Toryism stripped from the back of Chartism , and here we find the battle between Toryism and Chartism ; and now the question is , whether any available aid should be withheld from the men of Novtiugham .

      The mechanism of electiosn the Chartists have not been much accustomed to , while I have conducted more fiercely contested elections than any living man . They consider the question as one of paramount importance- They dome the honour to sappose that my continuous prefience would , go far to ensure success ; and will those to whom I am pledged for a single speech , and whom I :--: 8 hall visit immediately after the victory is won—I ask , will they mar tho prospect of success for the mere difference of _ time ! No , I cannot believe it ; and therefore it is that I and their friends of Nottingham make this appeal to those to whom I am pledged for leave to contribute my aid in the destruction of Toryism . Should they concur , they will forthwith write to m 9 } addressed to Air . John Cka > e , 1 , Shoelane , Fleet-street , London , as I must make arrangemsatfl accordingly . If I am allowed to remaia at

      Nottingham , I will fearJesgly pledge myself for the result ; and alsotoEaye our party some hundreds of pounds , to organise them , to keep th 6 peace of the town , and to return Mr . Sturge ; and should we succeed at Nottingham , we at once establish tha principles npon which the next general election is to be directed , namely , that the contest is to be between Chartism and Toryism . Pray allow the honest non-electora of Nottingham to have one unpaid agent on their behalf ; I wish for earW

      answers , as m the event of . my remaining at Not * tingham , I must make my own arrangements after my own fashion , while 1 feel convinced that the whole people of the town and neighbouriDg districts will bail with joy a compliance with their request , which I now make ia the joint names of YoHTfaithfui friend , JFeargus O'Connob , And your anxious and devoted brethren , The People of Nottingham and District .

      Leeds Woollen Markets . —We are still without exciting cause to revive the drooping commerce of this neighbourhood , and the transactions in business , to any extent , are very few and far between , at least so far as the Cloth Halls are concerned ; but thesej as we have said before , We dp not look upon as a correct index of the real state of trade . In the rrarehoases there is rather more animation , and perhaps there have been on the whole more goods taken out of the Hails during the week , than was the case in the week previous . HubDEBSFIELD MARKET , TUESDAY , May 17 . — Little business was transacted here to-day , nor was thero much looked for . The thought of having a good market appears to have deserted the manufacturers altogether , The town was crowded all day with visitors to the fair , it being a general holiday , but the universal cry of no money was heard in every direction .

      Bradford Markets , Thursday , May 19 ih ;—WooL—The transactionsJn this branch of our trade during the week are not materially altered from our last report . The spinners are still seeking ^ reduction , which the Staplers are compelled to resist , seeing no chance to procure it from the grower at prices that admit of the cost of it 3 transit to the consumer . — Farn .- ^ The business done in Yarns is to a tolerable fair extent ; perhaps more might have been done had the Spinners given way to the request of the buyers , but to do this is impossible , except at great sacrifice ; and as Yarns are now sold for less than

      was ever remembered , while Wool is still higher . An opinion is gaining ground that Yarns have seen their lowest point , even though wool should recede further . Piece . —This beiDg theTiVhitsuntide holiday , also aa extra session for the trial of prisoners , our town has been very busy with idlers ; but in business matters no change of a material character has taken place . Orleans arid Merinoes appear to have been going to a fair extent , and we hope , before the expiration of many weeks , the stock of manufactured goods in the market , which we learn is not heavy , mil be much reduced . ., : :

      Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , May 16 . — The impotta of British Grain , Flour and Oitmeal , into this ; p ' . ort during the last seven days , are very light ; and the arrivals from abroad are comprised in 5 , 311 qrs . of Wheat , 1 J 50 q ^ rs . of Beans , and 2 J 0 O barrels of Flour . At Tuesday ' s market there was a better salo for Wheat , and although some of the recently-iri ) ported Lower Baltic red was sold rather lower—say 9 s ; 3 d . per 70 lbs ., prices generally remained much the same as at the close of last week . The buisness in that jgrain has bteri on a moderate scale , without causing variation in the quotations . The sales of Fiour hava been very much in retail at 34 s . 6 d . to 353 . 6 d . for Canadian ; and 35 s . 6 d . to 363 . 6 d . per brl . for United States sweet .: Withoat

      anything like activity in the demand , the scarcity of fiae Oats has put up their value Jd . to Id . per bushel , and secondary runs are also held for rather more money . Oatmeal 13 quoted 3 d . to 6 d . per load dearer , but little has been done at the amendment . No change as regards Barley , Beans , or Peas , Considerable transactions have occurred in the bonded mar » ket ; a cargo of Barletta Wheat , afloat has changed hands at 476 . 6 d . per qr ., cost ; and freight ; two or three of Sietfin red at 483 . per qr ., free on board , and of fine white at 8 j . 2 d . per 70 lbs . delivered here ; Kgyptian in storo at 53 . ; several parcels of common Ode 8 sasoft at 6 s . 3 d ,, and Polish Odessa at 63 .

      London Corn Market . —Monday , May 16 . —The supply of wheat was rather limited from Essex , moderate fair from Kent , but very small from Suffolk , with only a limited show of barley , beans and peas ; from all these counties there were good fresh arrivals of oats j having several Vessels in from our own coast and Ireland , in addition to a large supply during last week , a great portion of which remained over for this day ' s market . The importation of foreign wheat has been tolerably large since this day week . The weather has been variable during the past week , with occasional heavy showers , but nights cold , and the wind is now to the north east . Tiiere was a good demand for English wheat this morning at an advance of Is to 2 s . per

      quarter on all fine qualities , particularly those which were fresh thrashed , and a fair steady sale for free foreign at an improvement of Is per quarter 1 that in bond was held for full or even higher prices , and buyers are williDg to take some quantity on former terms . Good marks of ship flour were quite as dear , and in fair request . Barley brought last week's currency for distilling and grinding purposes . —Malt W 83 without alteration in value . Beans -and peas realizsd full as much ' ¦ ' -. ¦ money , pats were held tor last week ' s prices , which the consumers gave for good corn , whilst the large dialers are trying to get into stock on lower terinSj having a ; good choice of English to select from , but the fictors seem pretty fine , and have consequently checked sales .

      London Sjiithfield Market , Monday , May 16 . —The supply of beasts in '' pur markes of to-day was , the time of year considered , moderately good , and , generally speaking , of fair average quality— . litre being , a great comparative improvement apparent in the condition of the Scots , Ddvons . runts , Here ^ fords , shorthorns , and homebreds . From Nor ' oik and Suffolk , we received 1450 Scots aad homebreds ; from others of our gniz ' ng districts , 220 of various breeds ; from Scotland , l > y steamers , 300 Scots . Tha attendance of buyers being not very numerous , the

      beef trade was in a depressed state , and , iu orclur to effect a clearance , a , uecline , in the currencies noted on Monday last , of quite 2 d per 8 lb , was submitted to by the salesmen . The number of sheep was extehsivo , which produced much heaviness in the demand for them , and the rates suffered an abatement of quite 4 d per 8 . 1 . b ; the very highest figure obtained for the best Downs out of their wool , they being mostly all shorn , was 4 s 41 per 8 lb .
