      ARBSOATH . —An epen-air meeting was held on the Abbey Green , en the 9 tb instant Mr . Joseph Tyfe "sras Bsanimonsly called to the chair . Mr . Abram Itancan spoke for an hour , in a speech which -was listened to -with greatattention , and carried eonVietfon to toe vast asseniWage present , Which could not be less than between 2 000 and 3 , 000 people . After oonclu-iing bis address . Mr . Duncan moved the following resolutions , T » bich "were seconded by Mr . TVilliam Fuller , and carried unanimoasly : —1 st , That a Society be now formed in Arbroata , for drawing public attention to the nncfcrii-tian nature of war , asd be denominated ' The Arbr # sth Tes . ce Assodatian . ' - 2 nd . " That whilst the chief object of the Association be U > establish in the pnMicmind the p : inciple > that all wars are wholly

      inconsistent with Christianity , it also may we all legal and Chrintian means to expose the iniquity , crnelty , and immorality of any partical&r -war ; and to devote itself to brini about that happy period when the n&tionB shall learn war no more . " 3 rd . " That although the efforts of tfee Association should be directed to the enlightenmei-t of all classes of the people , the labouring population should mainly be kept in -view , as the class from ¦ which tbe great ~ bodj of the array ana navy i 3 drawn , and eonssqneritiy tfce greatest sufferers under tbe present system . " 4 tb . " Ti-st ia the opinioa of this meeting bo person can be a consistent member of the Society who is employed in mating or sellin g any instruments of war . " After which this great meeting quietly separated .

      CH " SXjTE ?« HA : sZ . —Mr . Biiirstow is turning Cheltenham npslde down : his lectures are bringing 3--1 el&sses to ifceir proper senses . He lectured on Mendsy end Tuesday evenir . gs to crowded audiences , at tbe Mechanic ^ Institution , freqaertly interropted by the dieerB and plaudits of the meeting . 2 ? o a an ever ¦ won the respect fcf all classes in the manner that Mr . Bairstow has . At the close of the lectures a vote cf thanks was proposed to Mr . Bairstow by Mr . CHenister , and seconded by Mr . Siiisom ; and likewise a resolution pledging the meeting to adhere to the principles

      so ably advocated and defended by the leernru , -which ¦ was carried troaDnncusTy . Several members were enrolled after eseh lecture . On Wednesday evening . Mr . Bslrstow lectured at the Temperance Hall , B 3 rb-road , to a crowded audienca . The lecturer here went into Ms subject Vn an elcquent and forcible maEner , crushing every folish objection ajuaily brought aijainst the Charter . At the closs of the lecture eighteen members were enrolled . Three cheers were given for the worthy lecturer , and three for Feargns O'Connor , Esq ., and tbe meeting separated , highly delighted .

      OLSHaZS- —According to previous announcement , railing upon the people to arttnd a mee'in ? ia the field ieliiiid the Albion Inn , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon . At ih& time appointed , great numbers were se-en sending their way to tbe place of meatiag . Sir . Abel Swan , of Ashton , and Mr . Roberts , ef Warrington , delivered Tery appropriate sermons on the occasion . In the sfternoon , at two o ' clock , Mr . Dyson , of Motley , and others addressed the people- At these ' two meetings not less than 12 , 000 persons were present . Another meeting toot place- at six in the evening , consisting of 35 ceo persons . Mr . Edward Clatk , of Manchester , and iir . Dyson , of ilesaley , addressed them , and gave grow satisfaction . All was peace and harmony .

      DUNDEE . —The canss of the people is steadily progressing in this quarter . The town is divided into districts , and each district 13 being formed into an association ; this plan seems to be working bene * ficiaily for the movement , particularly in so far as at their wekly meetings , where the principles of the Charter we regularly discussed , a number are induced to give their attendance who were never in the habit of attending general meetings of the Chartists . On Wednesday evening last , one ot these meetings was held in Miss . Easson ' s school room , Middle Wynd , Eawkhill , Mr . Alexander Raskin in the chair . It was addressed by Mr . Mitchell si great length , upon the absolute . necessity of a thorough union amongst the working classes , and

      Messrs . Adam , Graham , and others afterwards addressed them , when , a district union was formed . We long h ? -d occasion to complain of the opposition of the middle-class men to our cause . The question was always Dnt . when will the middle class come OTei to j on 1 Time , however , tells tales , and God knows we are getting over the middleoeracy to us "holus bolus" or in other words all ia a lamp . We do not assert that they are coming from , a thorough conviction of the truth of oar principles , © r the necessity of acting npon them . O no , but tha ^ -k heaven -what could not be accomplished by argument has been brought about by circumstances . What they could Bot m * ke out to see they are now compelled to feel . The system is fast swelling the list of the non-electors from the ranks of the ahopocracy . Shop-fihnttlng is the order of ihe day . Let a stranger enter our wwn from the harbour , and proceed along " Onion-street , and there he will find every third shop

      to let . Let him turn eastward via High- ? trett , Leog ^ ite , Blackscroft , &c . &c , and all presents ta fais new , the same dull and holiday-like indications 4 > f a wan ; of trade . The fact is , that we need not particularise auj one part of the town to find out the distress which exists ; for from the extremeties to Its centre , is presents out one humiliating spectacle of departed glory . At this moment neither jeweller , watchmaker , bookseller , draper , nor grteer , can manage to eke out a middle-class existence without having recourse to what he has contrived to save in more prosperous iimea , or to the other alternative of eatin ? up his slock . The working a ? an is starving in his everlasting clothes . He has no money where-¦ srith to buy the common necessaries of Jife from the shppkeepsr . Tslk of e < nverts to the Charter . indeed , this state of things will make more converts to the Charier than all she arguments vfhich could be adduced .

      HtTDDERSFIELD . —The appointment of a delegate at a public meeting in Huddersfield , on Tuesday evening last , to represent the Hudders-fisld Chartists , at the great delegate meeting st Manchester on the ISih , fell upon Mr .

After the election the following resolution was unanimously passed : — M That we , the Chartists of Hnddersfield , in public meeting assembled , cannot but express our . -deep regret &t the occurrences of this day ; and while we eannot but consider the employment of the military and civil power , under the circumstances , as UDnecessary and uncalled for , yet we cannot countenance any riot or distnrbance , or any proceedings likely to lead to a breach of the peace /'

      The following persons are nominated as candidates to be elected on the General Council of tbe National Charter Association , by the Hudderi-field Eub-Secretary : —James Russll , calico printer , Coweliffe , near Hudder ^ Seld ; Joseph Bray , shopkeeper , Upperhead-rcw , ditto ; William Townend , smith , Chapel-nill , ditto ; Jeshna Hobson , Market-walk , ditto ; John Kelsoe , calico-printer .

Previons to the public meeting , the Council arranged to lay the state of the funds Defore ihd meeting , with a recommendation not to send a delegat e , but to instruct the Secretary to write to tbe Conference , in / orming them Of the stats of the district , and the willingness on the part of the people to abide b ) "whatever deciaion

      the Conference might come to . Mr . John Armstrong vfas called to the chair . He explained the object of the meeting , and called on tbe Secretarv to read over the third edition of the Northern Star , which was most earnestly listened to by the immense multitude , for there would not be fewer than from 1 . 6 C 0 to 2 , 000 persons present . Tbe meeting then determined to S 9 nd a delegate to the Conference , and instructed tbe Council to make arrangements for a public meeting to be held on Monday morning for that purpose . Oa Moaday morning , a deputation waited upon the Mayor , Mr . George Mounsey , and informed him as to the real object of the meefeg . The Mayor stated that he trusted every thing would be conducted peaceably , and _ in

      such a way as not to create any unnecessary excitement , at the present moment . The deputation assnred ihe Mayor that there vfas no wiEQ oa tas paw of the people to mix themselves up with the strike .

" A . vote of thanks

      was then given to Mr . George Moonsey , mayor , for the courteous manner in which he had received the deputation , which was carried unanimously , after which a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman and the people peaceably dispersed . It may be proper to state , that Mr . Hanson wished to decline in favour of Mr . Arthur , but if the other parties persisted he would most willingly stand .

James Bqyi was called to the chair , and opened the business in a neat and spirited

      address . He impressed on the assembled multitude , which could not be less than from three thousand to six , to shew by their conduct this night , that they were worthy of the privilege they are assembled to maintain , rfr . James Black proposed the first resolution , which was to the following purport : — " That this meeting view with feelings of indignation the qpntemptable conduct of the Staffordshire authorities and their emissaries , in their late attempt to sr . fla public opinion , by distarbin ^ the pe ople of Sei ^ lcj , when peaceaMy and eonstitationally assenTbied for the purpose of discussing their grievances , and also in apprehending Mason and others vrhca they were guilty of no crime , as they were only giving expression to thf . ir feelings on the

      manifeid grievances under which they now labour . " iir . Pet-jr Campbell briefly seconded it , and Mr . Jo > eph M'Lean supported it ia a speech of cons derable" length . It was then carried unanimously . iir . Robert Burrell brought forward the eecoud resolution , " That this meeting . is fully convinced iaat tbe iuhub : tanT 8 of . this country have a right to meet and discuss their grievances , whether national or local , when , how , and where they please , so long as tn : > y do not disturb the public pence , or infringe on the rights of others ; and that the disturbing or preventing of such meetings by any party or parties is unconstitutional , and om ; bt to be resisted ; seeing that it is an undisputed fact that all government originated from , was designed to protect , and is gnppoj-ted by the whole people : h therefore follows ,

      that-it ought to be under their controul . That the ai-tempt to justify tho conduct of the Staffordshire authorities by her Majasty ' y Ministers goes to prove that tfcay are unworthy " of the confidence of her Majesty , and we agree to memorialise her Majesty to dismiss them from office , and take into her Council men who will make th « People's Charter a cabinet measure . " Mr . Thomas Milne seconded the reso-Icuon .-and Mr . Samuel Kiad , from Glasgow , supported it . Mr . M'Lean proposed that the part of ihe resolution " to memorialise her Majesty , " be struck cut , anu the words " that we are determined for ourselves , and would recommend it to the country to unite , seeing that it is only in ourselves that we can have any hope for a redress of our grievances , " be sub'tifuied . Mr . J . Johnson seconded the

      amendment , SE _ d it was carried unanimously ; after Vflnch the meeting broke up . . N 0 TTIKGHAM .-0 n Sunday , Mr .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF IA » n > 0 N . iL 5 Prie > -ds , —I doubt not you "will expect some account of my stewardship ; without further introduction I shall lav it before you . Left town on Monday moming , July 25 th ; lectured in the evening at Reading , to a good audience . Aeon reptzi : gentiemsn , had spread the news of me being a very violent mso . This kept some of our fair countrywomen , who had previously made up their minds to honour , me with their presence , eifely stowed in their own domiciles . 1 2 nd a portion cf the middle class of this borough , have invited Mr . Lawrence Hey wood , of Liverpool , to ftand candidate on the Six Point ground . Jlf . Hey-¦ vrood has accepted the invitation , backed by his friend Stnrce .

      Tee Editor of the Honccmformlsl is foaming Yike a mad dog over tbe aSair . The Chartists have received an invitation to lend their aid , and the proposal ia tinder their consideration . I donbt not Peel ' s scent keeps back the writ . On Wednesday reached Oxford ; found our friends had called an out-door meeting for that evening ; was well received by 3 Ir . P . Huxcomb , of Three Tuns-stfeet , Eb % 3 , and all tbe sons of liberty in this famed city for the nomiihing and ruckling of parsons . The meeting in tbe evening was well attended . Messrs . Hurcomb . Faulkner , and others addressed the meeting .

      Their , remciks on the evils of ci ^ sa legislation were of the first ord ^ r ; these gentlemen are indeed doing their duty , being middle class men , -whole hog Chartists , and guardians of the poor , Mr . Faulkner being chairman of tbe Board . An cut-door meeting was called for the next night ; tbe people nobly responded . After my address Mr . " Towle , the representative cf Oxford on the Corn Law Conference , w ^ s called on ; he stuck wel l to their old » ong of the Corn Laws being a guestion by itself , and tried his best , indirectly , to show ma up to the meeting as a paid Tory spy . This did not a-os-sver ; the meetius ira 3 Tor tfce Charter .

      Oa Friday , Mr . Clark , a freeholder of Witney , drove Messrs . Hurcomb , Faulkner , and myself to Witney . The bellman declined crying the meeting ; a young man took his post . We had , for this place , a grand meeting on the Green ; out-and-out speeches from our friends of Oxford , assisted by Mr . Clewer , the temperance lecturer ; the Charter was carried . The people gave proof of their determination to snpport its glorious principles . Mr . Ciark is a Cobetite of the first water . On Saturday , left by coach to Cheltenham for Winchcombe ; found friends waiting at the coachoffice . Left lnggage ; started on tramp ; got to Winchcombe at half-past . eight in tbe evening ; meeting waiting ; lectured in the open air . Next

      moming ( Sunday ) lectured m the open air at nine . At this place I had the pleasure of an interview with John Sexty , a youth about nineteen years of age , who wrote the poem you ' ve had the opportunity of reading in the two back Stars Sauted back to Cheltenham . J&ectnred in the afterternoon and evening , in the open air , to good audiences . Left on Monday , August 1 st , for Gloucester . Lectured in the Theatre in tbe evening , the R « v . J . Davis in the chair . This meeting was not well attended . Oar friend desired me to call a meeting out-doors for the next evening . The Kav . J . Davis again took the chair . There was an excellent audience . I established a Ideality of the National Charter Association . Many took up cards ; and I doubt not the cause will progress well .

      Wednesday , visited Srroud . Lectured in the Chartist room to an excellent audience , and enlisted recruits The Chartists of this place are indeed -woikiiig manfully . Nought will beat the name of Charter from them . Lectured in the Market-place of Cirencester , on TharBday evening , to about Beven hundred . This was the moat attentive audience I have haoTthe pleasure of addressing . I again established a locality of our glorious Association . Enrolled nineteen members . The work was not done by cards being taken on the spot I donht not that the master minds of this place will nobly back up out friends of Stroud . Travelled all night by train , to be in Trowbridge , en Friday . Attended supper by invitation . Addressed one friends . On Saturday , went to Melksham . No meeting- ' . ' - .. ' ot

      On Sunday , Atgnst 7 th , lectured at the Tillage Bromham . On Monday visited Bradford ; lectured in the Itemocratic Chapel , in the evening .

Thia monrter , tbe election before last , received £ 700 on the part of Shepherd , the present miBrepresentative , iOT br ibery—• writhing under the philippic I gave him for his evil deeds , he got a pair of fools to back his efforts , but the good sense of the working men , soon put a stop to this trio , restored peace , and the principles . of Chartism were triompoant .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THB NORTHERN STAB . Sir . —Altbongh personally unknown to yeu , I feel not the slightest hesitation , where the great interests of Chartism req'iire it . in claiming a short space in your columns , and as little doubt that you will willingly afford your powerful assistance fco yonr Irish brethren , fighting under many and almost overwhelming disadvantages , the groat battle of liberty . . Notwithstanding all that the true friends ot the people have had to contend with here : the undisguised dad bitter hostility tf all those that batten upon the rottenness ot the present system , and who , of consequence , hate the name nnd aims of Chartism ; the narrowminded pr ^ j-idices artfully fostered by designing knaves in the minds of the lower classes , M they are termed .

      against every thing of English origin—and the jealousy of the Corn Exchange orators lest their dupes should at length open their eyes and button up thair pocketsnotwithstanding the covert insinuations and public denouncements to which we have been subjected by the licentious tongue of the arch-impostor himself , who beheld his craft in danger , and dreadod the diminution of the rinl—inaagre all these obstructions , and in the absence of either wealth , influence , or great talent amongst us , psrseverance alone has procured us success to this amount— that we have enrolled on our books at the present moment 1 . 000 men—that we have stripped Ctiartism of the hideous mask in which intelligent roguery an-. l superstitious ignorance had dressed

      itthat we have Bet men a- ' -hinkiag and stalking on the subject—that thousands in out city now declare they are ready to join our ranks , and impatiently await the moment when their capricious fugle-man uhall have given the permissive signal—that we have silenced the second rate orators amougst the Repealers completely , and taken the ? qasak cut of the " Liberator" himself . Added to which we forwarded tbe other day to Sharman Crawford , Esq ., a petition nearly the same as the national one , subscribed by at least 3 , 000 genuine signatures ! I much fear , however , that owing to Mr . Crawford's having left London on the day on which it arrived , that the petition cannot be presented till next session , when the signatures will of course be greatly augmented .

      At the suggestion of some in our Association Who still entertain the lingering impressions of poiitieal childhood regarding the integrity of Mr . O'Connell , I forwarded to him ihe following , it will be allowed at least , respectful letter : •—Dublin , No . 26 North King-street , Juiy SO , 1842 . Mr Lord , —T&e Association to which I have the honour of heing secretary are of opinion that they would net be acting with the respect due to your Lordship , as the most leading political character in Ireland , were w to omit enclosing your Lordship a copy of the petition emanating from their body , and intrusted for presentation to Mr- William Sharman Crawford .

      My Lord , the main prayer of that petition is for an extension of the electoral right to every mau non-convict of felonious crime , who has attained the ago of twenty-one years ; in other words , for what ( without being hypercritical ) may be justly , logically , and grammaticaily sty lad Uaivert > al Suffrage . We are very well aware , my Loid , that tho regulations of the House of Commons do not now allow a dwcus 8 ion on the merits of petitions without a specific motion for the purpose ; but we also know , my Lord , that legal ingenuity , which no lawyer living , perhaps , possesses to an equal extent with your Lordship , can . do much to evade the stringency of such rales ; and I am , therefore , to request , on behalf of the body for -which I act , that should you approve of the content * of this petition , wMca ia similar ' , though somewhat abated in tone to the English National Petition , which you supported , that you will render us all the assistance which your acknowledged ability and unquestionable adroitness can afford .

      My Lord , it would be presumptuous in me , it would be n- j-ist to others , to suppose that of the host of officials and adherents by whom yeu are surrounded ; who are supported by your influence , and on whom is reflected the second-hand lustre of your great popularity ; none have been found hardy enough to inform you of the important , and in my mind , glorious truth , that the people of Ireland are rapidly learning , and as rapidly adopting the political creed of the Chartists of England .

      My Lord , our Association has now upon its books 1 , 000 members who have taken out cards , despite all the opposition afforded by those whom I will in charity soppese misunderstood our objects , or doubted the legality of our organization . It must be also within the knowledge of those by whom you are surrounded , if nofc within your own , that thousands are predisposed , nay , eager , to join our ranks , were they not held back by those motives of prudence which master principle in mercantile men , that dread of denunciation which restrains convinced but timid politicians .

      And yet , my Lord , when I find you on the last day yon attended the Corn Exchange , declaring that you knew of no other Association in Ireland than that there assembled , I am at a loss t « reconcile the assertion with the knowledge of tbe political state and-feeling of the country -which you should possess . With the truth and vigilance of those whose duty demanded of them to apprise you of the fact , that there is in Ireland a party who bare determined that the name of freeman shall cease to be a distinctive appellation in these countries ; who have resolved to devote their best energies to effecting , by strictly moral and legal means , the political emancipation of the slave population of this empire .

      Y « s , my Lord , calculating upon obstruction and prepared fof delay , we are yet determined to wcrk in the spir it , not _ of A fanaticism , but of enthusiastic perseTe-

      FACTORY TYRANNY AND THE GOEN i . AW REPEALERS .

      TO IHE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir , —As a specimen of the liberality and good intentions of the Com Law Repealers towards tne industrious and forbearing individuals nnuet theii controul , I send you a copy of the rules stuck up for the edification of the cotton spinners employed in a mill or hell not a bnndred miles from Bardsley , near this town , and the worthless proprietors are of the Cobden school cf liberals .. Tflosa rales are adhered to with the . most ravage rigidity , and the persona to whom they do not or cannot extend , -whethei mala or female , are visited by theae praiseworthy admirers of the big loaf with corporal punishment , in the event of tbe merest accident taking place , or their work not answering their hardhearted employers , who , a few years ago , were practical operatives themselves , and now look down with scorn on all who toil for bread .

      They employ ten spinners , and it is well known in this town and neighbourhood that since their entry into , the trade , they have ba < 1 more than twenty sets of BpinnerS ; they are ever watching the poor slaves while at work , just like policemen watching thieves ; and one of the parties is ever present from the starting time in the morning until they are liberated at night ; and the factory law is shaniefally violated every day . The following are the rules posted up in each room : 1 . The spinners in this mill shall be paid for spinning one thoueaud hanks of forty ' s two shillings and threepence , and for ose thousand hanks of thirty-nine ' s , two shillings and twopence . 2 . If any spinner spins less than twenty-one hanks to the spindie , his price shall be two shillings and twopenea , and if less than twenty banks per spindle , one shilling and tenpence . : ¦ ' . ' . ¦

      3 . Every set of cops under fifty-six pounds weight sent in by any spihuor , he shall be fined one shilling for each set . 4 . Any spinner lashing bis cops under , ot for general bad spinning , shall have nothing for that set or sets . 5 . Any spinner throwing away any thing , or if his piecer should throw away any thing , shall be fined one shininc . 6 . Any part of the machinery broke while at work > to be paid for by the spinner .

      REMARKS . The first rule may not admit of complaint , although the price is considerably lower than is paid on the Bume number of spindles for the same work at many othsr mills . But the second rule is so unbearable that scores of useful and steady workmen have left this strong hold of tyranny sooner than submit to it , as accidents or other causes often prevent iwen from doing the length required , and yet no allowance is made foi these daily casualties . The third rule has been put in forco not a month ago , where the set was only one ounce above the fifty-six , pounds , and i t is a physical impossibility which the employers well know , to make them always that weight , as the weather , tbe quality of the cotton , the speed of the propelling power and other unforeseen causes , prevents , and a certain i-umber of seta must be done or they undergo the penalty of the second rule .

      But the fourth rnlu is decidedly the worst , and clearly shews th avaricious propensity of the monster of liberality in its true colours . Tbe proprietors are the sole judges of this offence called " general tad spinning , " and it is very easy to find fanlt , as it rarely happens that two spinners make a cop the same shape or in the same way ; and if they have only been in their employ a single day the rules are enforced with all due rigour . Cops lashed under are not reckoned useless or ren-4 ered so , as they can be reeled ; aTd it is not always tho spinner ' s fault ; it often happens that the guiding wire ( technically called a fallerj is out of order ; all men cannot adjust them , and if they could , few places per ^ nut them ; tie overioeker must do it or the wheels stand .

      And how iniquitous is the fifth rule , to make man responsible for the faults or follies of another , who if he was to chastise or discharge for this same thro wins :, he would , as has been the cije bt-fore , got bagged himself . And then the villainy of the sixth rule which makes a man pay for all broken machiney , as if it would last for ever , but this rnle has often been enforced by the liberal and virtuous firm referred to . Hopicg you will allow the light of the Star to shine en the darkneass of these accursed " rattle boxes . " I am , &c , A Persecuted Cotton Spinner . Ashton , August 7 , 1842 .
