      Mr deab Feibsds , —It generally happens that » H the troubles into -which the vfllany of oar enemies leads the people fall upon my shoulders at last , and so it is now . The Com Law League hoped to make took of onr party for the accomplishment of their own base ends , hat have signally failed in their direct attempt . They hare eaceeeded , however , in subjecting hundreds of oar best men to torture and persecution , and to incarceration for want of enormous bail ; thus prejadging and punishing by anticipation the " Liberal" Magistrates straining every nerve to

      remove the leaders of that opposition , which has redaoed the free trade ranks to a Suction merely to be laughed at They have done this in the hope of making a vigorous struggle , during the winter , for the restoration of fie Whigs , headed by Palmerston , upon a > pledge to carry oat the principles of free trade . Bat despair not . Those apon whom the tyrants conld not pounce , will each do ten men ' s work . I will meet them at all points , will ba » tle them and beat them . But , my friends , what can give greater nerve to faction than the hope that neglect of our victims will cause dread in our

      ranks , silence our opposition , scare others from taking the place of those who have been Buffered to go to trial and receive punishment , without even the semblance of defence , while their families are consigned to beggary and starvation ! This is too much to expect from any , and is likely to intimidate all . I have had several letters ir quiring as to the course that I mean to pursue in respect of the approaching Commissions . I have been asked whether or no I mean to confine the defence merely to Chartist prisoners , or to include all who were connected with the strike ! My answer is this : —

      It is my intention to defend every man , whether ; Chartist er not , who is to be tried for taking part in I the League's revolution . It is my intention to ; defend Mr . Turner , the TORY , who stands charged ' with printing a certain placard , as well as Leach , the honoured President of our tet livikg and still ' pbospsrisg Association j and the brave White and . bold Cooper ; it is my intention to see that each and '; all are defended . There is one case , however , which i particol&rJy occupies my attention , and should , arrest that of every lover of justice and mankind , j The devils have resolved upon making the tragedy j as deep as possible , and not satisfied without blood , they mean to try Ellis of Stafford , for High Tbka .- ,

      son , of course by a Jury poisoned by the viperous press against him . He must have counsel , but he must have two , and these the best ; his life is as dear as that of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and musi not be forfeited to our apathy . I know that it i 3 not your practice to spur a free-horse to death ; but bear in mind that the defence of tko prisoners in 1839 left the fund over £ 500 in my debt ; and since then the frequent drawsuponmehave putit out of my power to relieve the country of the duty of subscribing for the defenc 9 of all the prisoners . I advanced nine hundred guineas fer the employment of counsel for Frost , Williams , and Jones ; but I cannot do so now , and the whole sum as yet subscribed falls shor ; of £ 12 . Under these

      circumstances , you must say what is to be done . Many parties have written to me about engaging solicitors for themselves , and speak of raising separate fund 3 . Hotting could be more injurious . In 1839 the fund raised for Stephens would have covered the whole expence of Frost ' s trial , and all others ; and many others had subscriptions , none of which were appropriated to their defence , while all was thrown npon my Ehoulders .

      Jfow , what I propose is this : —That one fond be raised for the general defence . If we must employ special counsel for Ellis , the whole will cost about £ 1 , 000 ; but if each man be allowed to employ his own solicitor , the expence wonld be about £ 30 , 000 . Ab Mr . R . B . B . Cobbett is on the spot , and already master of most of tbe cases , and near the evidence which we shall require , I propose that he should be employed generally for Lancashire ,

      leaving the selection of counsel to me . Mr . Roberts , of Bath , has undertaken to act as solicitor for the Staffordshire victims , with no more remuneration , than his espenceE . We could not have a better man ; and I , therefore , propose that his offer be accepted , and that he be invited to proceed to Stafford forthwith , in order that the defences may be well got np . Kow , if thi 3 course meets with general approbation , let the means of carrying it into effect be at once set about .

      Of course , after the heartless answer given by the Siurgites to the application on behalf of poor honest George White , we have no hope from that quarter ; but White shall not be under any obligation to them ; and perhaps the time may come when another express may be sent from Nottingham to me , to start at night from London , to sid in Mr . Sturge ' s retarn ; and perhaps I may be able to write KO , " and a thumping one , as well as the cold-hearted blood hounds whom White charges with entrapping

      him , and who then insult him because he would not allow them to betray bis party . I always told you that there was not an honester creature or a braver in existence than poor George . Indeed , it appears that tho vipers have selected our best and honestest men as their prey ; but we most defend them . One gentleman , you will have seen , who siyles himself A Hater of Oppression , " has given £ " 2 , but with that middle-class clemency ceases , —perhaps they mean to reserve their clemency for the jury-box .

      I am resolved that the originators of the revolution shall be exposed ; and , therefore , let a Committe be instantly appointed at Manchester for receiving evidence . The devils are moving heaven and earth in London to Eeduce tbe Chartists from their fidelity , but all in vain ; whatever colours they recruit under we soon see the cloven foot of the u Free-traders . " Not a man can they crimp ; and rely upon it that they shall not take the capitol either by storm or surprise . Would it not have been matter of rejoicing bad I been fast by the heels , while the people were to be defended , and f&etion was to make its market ? But , thank God , I am at large in spite of ALL , and still upon the watch-tower to cry cut , " WOLF , " " WOLF , " 14 WOLF ; " so the lambs need not fear .

      Trusting that this appeal will be speedily answered , so that our enemies may not say that Chartism and public spirit have retrograded , - I am , your faithful friend , FEiEGUs O'Connor .

      THE EXECUTIVE OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION TO THE PEOPLE . Beotheh Chabti 5 T 3 . —At the present moment , when the most anxious endeavours of the combined factions have been industriously at work , fer the purpose of destroying that movement which we , as yenr responsible servants , have been as assidnonsly endeavouring to establish upon a sound and permanent basis , you have naturally been looking to us for that counsel and advice which , as your elected

      servantE , it is our dnty to tender . From the circumstances in which we have been placed—one beiEg banished , and two others in different parts of the country in custody of Governmental authorities—it was wholly out of our power to lay cur views before you at an earlier period ; and indeed we only embrace this , tbe first opportunity for our re-assembling , to prepare your minds for those suggestions which hereafter we BhaU submit to you . In the present crisis the whole public mind should be devoted to the allabsorbing consideration of the best means of releases our victimised friends from those chains in

      which for a time- faction has tyrannically bound fr « B . To the performance of that duty , for the pre-^ Bt , we invite your deep , your every bought , and when the conflict of mock trials tad special commissions shall have terminated ! when the empire of reason ehall be again restored , —and when the mind shall have been calmed after the raging storm , then Ehall we be prepared to justify every act of our own ; to prove even to the most criticallj fastidious that in all our trans actions we have acted in strict accordance with the law , unjust though it be .

      In the mean time onr every energy shonld be aj work , and all our faculties strung , in order to give efeet to those principles which are alike dear to you

      and ourselves . Brethren , despair not ; democracy has beennndei many clouds before , and has as often burst through the mists of despotism with increased refuJgency and splendour . Watch our enemies in whatever shape they may present themselves before you ; fight the battle with them inch by inoh upon the field of principle ; and right must ultimately triumph over might . In order to accomplish this desirable object , and to foil the enemies of freedom , every nerve must be strained , every exertion increased , to raise funds to defend those patriots who h&vefailen into the pit dug for them alike by Whig and Tory . At present there J 3 no other alternative . We ,

      therefore , urgently urge on the friends of humanity , justice , and patriotism , the paramount necessity of in « tanter setting to work , to furnish our friends with the means to fee counsel , and to support themselves and families whilst in the trammels of the law . To avoid expenoe , we would recommend ' where practicable , that the same counsel should attend upon as many prisoners as possible . We also most seriously urge upon the whole country to rend all monies collected for the victims to be forwarded to Mr . O'Connor , 252 , Strand , London ; and that he should have the power to expend the money so collected until after the trials , in the manner that his judgment may dictate .

      In conclusion , we hope that you will shew the same firmness in this trying ordeal that has distinguished yoa in former exigencies . Hoping that you will do your duty in the sacred cause of freedom , We remain , Your brother democrats , And faithful servants and representatives , J . Campbell , Secretary .

      FURTHER DISTURBANCES IN MANCHESTER , AND MELANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE . On Thursday afternoon , the 15 th inet , a party of turn-out ¦ weavers -went to the mill of Mr . Morris , in the Oldfield Road , "where a camber of knobsticks from other towns had commenced working . The object the turnouts had in view was to prevail upon the strangers , if possible , to le&ve the mill . But having been seen by some of the overlookers , and othtr lickspittles , in their approach to the premises , a desperate attack was mane npon the poor half-starved turn-outs , who , taken by surprise , rnn in all directions , leaviDg to the tender mercies of the dastardly scoundrels , who were armed "with picking sticks , an inoffensive young man , of the name of Lyons , whom they btat aboul the head , till he fell down insensible ; and there is not the least doubt

      but be would have been killed on the spot , had not the parties who accompanied him again rallied , and driven the assailants back into the mill . Lyons was then removed in a state of insensibility to the infirmary , where he died on Friday morning , about ten o ' clock , having never uttered one word . As soon as it became known that Lyons was dead , a deep feeling of sympathy was manifested all over tb . 8 town , and curses , long , loud , and deep , were uttered against the horrible system that engenders such melancholy results . The weaver ' s committee , upon learning the mournful intelligence , deputed some of their body to wait upon the Chutists and Teetotallers , the deceased being a member of both these Associations , In order to apprise - them of the fact , and rtquesting their assistance .

      A coroner ' s inquest was held on view of the body , on Saturday evening last . I am informed they could net agree upon their verdict , and in consequence an adjournment took place until Wednesday , the 21 st instant The Ceroner however gave hi * warrant for tbe interment of the body , whioh was removed from tho infirmary on Sunday Afternoon , to his lodgings in London Road . Information having been given to the authorities that the weavers had determined t « attend the funeral of their deceased friend , and walk in procession to the grave , the mayor , Mr . Nield , issued a placard , of which the following is a copy : — " Caution . —All persons are requested not to join any procession , or assemble in tbe streets or roads for any purpose whatever , such practices , under present circumstances , being illegal , and will not be allowed . " Wsi . Neild , Mayor . " Town Hall , Sdpt . 19 ib , 1842 . "

      FLBTHEE PAKTICULABS . Fc . vebal OF Lross —Oa Monday afternoon about one o'clock , large numbers of people were seen wending their way to the house where the body of the deceased lay . these were attacked by the police , whe after cruelly beating some and apprehending others , succeeded in dispersing them from the front of London-road . A party of well dressed and respectable females , in number about 206 , headed by a good looking old man , then made their appearance , but were not allowed to

      approasa nearer than Piccadilly before they were dispersed by tbe police , and the old man taken into custody ; this circumstance enraged tbe people that they divided into different groups and attacked several mills , breaking a great number of windows , and compelling the people emplojed therein to leave work . Mr . Bes-Trick ihen took possession of th 9 house wherein lay the remains of the murdered man , and took upon himself the power of dictating who should or who should not follow the deceased , limiting the number to twenty-four individuals .

      By this time the burial ground belonging to the Reverend J . Scholefield was densely crowded , with persons anxiously awaiting the arrival of the meuriifal cavalcade . After seme delay , owing to the obstructions by the police , who bad taken np their position in great numbers opposite Mr . Scholefield's premises , the body was carried into the church upon the shoulders of four men , ( tbe amiable Mr . Beswicfc having issued an order that there should be only eight carriers allowed . ) preceeded by Mr . Scholefleld , pronouncing , with great emphasis , the solemn words of Christ , "I am the resurrection , < fcc , " the vast multitude maintaining the most solemn silence . After that part of tbe ceremony had been go : e through , which is usual in tbe cbnrch . The Rev . Gentleman left the pulpit and

      preceded the body to the grave , repeating " The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away , " &c The body was then deposited in its last resting place , amidst the sighs and tears of those who loved him , and Mr . Scholefield having mounted the base of Hunt ' s Monument , ghTe uut a hymn , in singing which the assembly joined . Daring the singing of the hymn , several of Ihe blues came into the yard , for what purpose is best known to themselves and their base employers . Mr . Sebo ' eficld then delivered a short address , in which he told the people that be felt proud at the orderly manner in which they ba 4 conducted themselves whilst paying the latt tribute of respect to their martyred friend , and concluded by advising them to return to their homes peaceably , and thus give ne pretext to their enemies to have recourse to violent measures . The Rev .

      Gentleman then went to the bines , who still remained , and asked them vr ' aaz . might be their business upon his premises ? One of them made answer it was fer the purpose of protecting bis property . ilr . Scholefirld then bid them leave the yard instantly , a&snring them that the people would not injure him in Buy way , and consequently he needed none of their protection at that time . None of tbe people upon leaving the ground , were allowed to go along Every-street , but were compelled to go in a direction which was pointed out to them by the police , no matter at what personal inconvenience , or however far it might be out of their way .

      Nothing can exceed the disgust entertained at the conduct of the authorities throughout the whole of the proceedings of Monday ; the mayor and magistrates , in Uieir eagerness to prevent a manifestation of sympathy for an inoffensive man , who had been basely murdered , collected the whole of the police force together , and kept them like a swarm of vultures around & dead body , wbiie within a few hundred yards from the spot , property to a considerable amount is destroyed ; Mr . Thompson ' s factory in Mill-itreet , ia attacked ; the knobsticks driven from work ; some of them , according to report , severely injured ; and these " jost-asses " and their myrmidons Bkulking in a street perfectly peaceable , for no other purpose that we could discover , but that of rendering more poignant Uie sorrow which must have been so keenly felt by the relatives of the unfortunate martyr of might against right . Ought not these wiseacres to be hild responsible for the breach oi tbe peace and destruction of property ?

      Tuesday , and a present of money for the women to have a comfortable- cup of tea in the evening . The factory commenced working at noon on Tuesday . This has given a fresh tone to the strike , for we know of one mill that the weavers had come to the conclusion of going in on the same conditions that they came out on ; but as soon as they heard that Mr . Thompson , of Mill-street , bad given the advance , they called a meeting of the hands , and determined upon trying a few days longer . Mr . D . Donovan was arrested at Stockport on Sunday night , and brought to Manchester in a post-chaise , and when brought before tbe magistrates , on Monday morning , there waa no charge against him . He was forthwith discharged . Mr . D . said he was much obliged to them for the ride home , for it was much pleasanter riding in a carriage than walking on foot . Wednesday .

      Since I wrote last , there is a great change in the strike—the power-loom weaver ' s strike seems to be nearly terminated . I have been in conversation with some of the Weaver ' s Committee , and they tell me , in most insUnoes , there is a general disposition to resume work , the masters engaging to better tho condition t > f their operatives , and some few of them having given a alight advance , so that I think the whole of the mills will be at work to morrow , with their full compliment of hand * . THURSDAY XeRKUfO .

      Termination of the Steike . —The strike in the manufacturing districts may now be considered as having terminated ; many of the mills commenced working yesterday afternoon , and this morning the people are going to work as if there had never been any difference between them and tbe employers ; but although work is resumed , the effects have not ended , nor tyranny banished , for the manufacturers are the same men they always were . They have commenced their old work of selecting victims fur their fury ; and ail who have taken an active part in the turn-out are discharged , and , on account of the superabundance of labour in the labour market , these men are marked out , and thrown upon the world to starve for tbe part tbey have taken in this struggle of suffering humanity against the avaricious cupidity of capital .

      BRADFORD . —Since the late turn-out , Chartism in thk town has been like a stagnant pool without the least symptom of excitement , but tbe spirit is Btill there and only wants a singlo spark to ignite it , and Bradford will be itself again .

      The Com flute Suffragists and Free Traders —In the Independent of last Saturday appeared a report of a meeting of the Free Trade Association , hold the proceeding Monday evening . Mr . 'Allen , * a member of the Complete Suffrage Association , said , " that the supporLers of that Association ( the Complete Suffrage ) were all Free Traders , and so far from iecling tho least jealousy , or offering the least opposition to this association , they ( the Complete Suffrayitts ) hoped that the two bodies would be composed , to a large extent , of the Bams members , and that as societies they would render each other mutual assistance . " Mr . Bealc , another and a leading member of the Complete Suffrage Association , after giving it as his opinion that an immediate repeal of the corn laws was not desirable , went on to say— "that to demand the

      immediate repeal of the Corn Laws savoured of the dogmatism which had beeu shown by the Chartists , when they required Parliament forthwith to pass the Charter entire and unaltered into law . " Of course Mr . Bealo is no dogmatist , and therefore does not require Parliament to pass the " six points" of Compleco Suffrage " entire" into law ! Mr . Conolly " referred to the opposition which the free trade movement had experienced from the Chartists , and congratulated the meeting in the belief that Buoh opposition was now at an end ; but that it had ceased , not through the forbearance of the parties who he believed had been hired to betray and damage the popular cause . He believed that the wages of corruption were no longer to be had , and that the opposition which had ^ hus been promoted would now cease" ! The Apposition ceased , eh " Try it on" !

Now , I will give you a proof that I am not Fcargus-ridden . You know that Mr . OCj-anoi has often said that " Mr . Sturge was an honst man . " But after reading Mr .

      strength might possess themselves of . It is with all due respect to tha opinion of O'Connor that I thus tfiffer with'him , and those who differ with nie npon the ' complete' movement , all that I request at their hands is to read for themselves .

      PRESTON . In the course of last week a writ came down from the Lord Chancellor , addressed to the Clerk of the Crown for the Dachy of Lancaster , Mr , R . W . Hopkins , whose efnee in in this town , ordering a gaol delivery tor the 1 st of Oct at Lancaster . The writ was forwarded to the High Sheriff , Mr . T . R , W . France , who issued summonses to abaut 100 jurymen , addressed to various parts of tbe county . There are 112 prisoners committed from different parts of the county to Kirkdale gaol , besides nine who

      were out on bail ; but as it is i : ot stated whether it will be a general gaol delivery , it is not known whether those who stand committed for trial at the next quarter sessions will be included in the commission . On this subject the decision of tbe three Judges appointed to the commission will be received here at the Sheriff'sofflse to-morrow . The prisoners in the gaol at Salford are very numerous , but in Preston House of Correction there ore only five , and in Lancaster but two , committed on charges connected with the late riots . There will be two courts open .

      On Friday , two persons charged as rioters in the late tumultuous proceedings of the 12 th of August were apprehended by Joseph Dearden , the town beadle , and committed for trial by tbe magistrates at the Town Hall . Along with several others , for whose apprehension warrants have for some time been issued , tbey hod kept out of the way until the restoration of tranquillity emboldened them to return into the town . One of these , ThoinaJ Norris , was charged before Mr . J . Barstow , as one of tbe leaders in the attack committed by a great crowd of persons at the mills cf Messrs . Germain , Petty , and Co ., Lelghton , where they conducted themselves with great violence and disorder , causing the mill to be Etoppad . The bands having left work , the crowd dispersed . The other

      prisoner , fhemas Pertder , was charged with having , on the same day , attacked the factory of Me * s « . Horrocks , in Canal-street , and baviug led the mob up the stairs , where he behaved with a considerable degree of violence . Along with the other prisoner , he was sent to the House of Correction . The three unhappy individuals who were wounded by the fire of the soldiers still remain in the House of Correction , endurinc considerable suffering . One of these , asteasi-loom weaver , twenty-one years of age , was shot through the cap of the knee , and h : « leg was immediately amputated about six inches above the ko . ee ; another , Bryan Uutcbings , 36 , a shoemaker , was wounded above the hip , the bullet &t . ll remaining in the body ; and the third ,

      21 , war shot through the w . ist It will be some time before they con leave this benevolent institution ; but in consequence of their sufferings , the Recorder has kindly informed them , that although tbe two former have been recognised as amongst tbe most active leaders of the mob on the fatal occasion , their prosecution will not be proceeded with . In addition to Lancaster and Mtrcer , the individuals vho died in this establishment , these were the only ones amongst the wounded who wero taken there . The two other unhappy men died at their own homes , whither also many of the other wounded were conveyed ; but the same forbearance is shown with them as with those at present in the House of Recovery .

      The mayor and magistrates have wholly forbidden political or other meetings of a dangerous character , and it was intended a few days &ince to hold a meeting for the purpose of appointing a delegate to the National Suffrage CDnvtntion of Great Britain , emanating from Joseph Sturge , to be held at Birmingham . Permission was given on condition that Mr . Bannisler , the intelligent superintendent of police , and other officers , might be present , which was agreed to , but the meeting was afterwards adjourned sine die en account of tLe meeting at Birmingham ha \ iug been postponed .

      In connexion -with the new military arrangement for the northern districts , Preston is to become the future depot of a large assemblage of troops . Tueie have hitherto been no barracks in the towj ) , and the troops now here , consisting of about one hundred and fifty Rifles , are quartered in temporary barracks in a factory in Water-street A site of twenty-five and a half acres on Fulwood-moor , the property of the Duchy of Lancaster , and in the centre of the former race courso , has been secured by Government for the erection of cavairy and infantry barracks capable of containing 2 , 000 troops . An active correspondence has lately been

      carried on with the Board of Ordnance , and it is expected daily that estimates for the contracts for the works vrill be published . The spot ba 3 been selected by Captain Burrows , barrackmaster at Blackburn , and Captain Rutherford , engineer to the Board of Ordnance at Mancbtster ; and many plans have been sent up to London fur the approval of Government . Th . o circumstances which have dictated this choice over the plan proposed for enlarging the barracks at Blackburn in order to make that the northern depot for troops , appears to ba the facility of their transport by railroad to the south , and to Ireland and Scotland through the new port of Fltstwood .

      The inhabitants of Preston and Blackburn have both taken up th 6 matter very warmly , and in the htter town a site of land waa offered gratuitously for the erection of barracks . The mstler has , however , finally been set at rest by Government having acknowledged the superior advantage of this town , and operations for theiv erection aro expected to take place immediately . Tais decision vas sealed chiefly from the opinion of the Duke of Wellington .
