      pABtuKBRXiAT Rsvisios . —The Ants and Cal-OTBrJPROittiKTOBi . —The objections to the Aire and Colder proprietors , who were on the parliamentary listed electors , for properly at Warehouse Hill , ] ' were all allo-wedon Friday , an& those getftlemsn , gix is nonber-and all Tone ? , are now therefore disfranchised . Their nanesare John Blayds , Geo . JjgBB Fox , Edward Jowitt , and John Greea Paley , Esqra ., Sir John Lowther , Bart ^ and the Rev . Jas . Armivage Rhodes . The premises , as we hate stated , for which they haTe hitherto been on the list of I electors , are situated at Warehouse Hiil , and the ] reason why they haTe now been disfranchised , is Hai , ia coasequenee of a large portion of the pre-1 mises having Seen let off , the annual value in the j occupation of the proprietors , is so much reduced , j as not now to afford the requisite [ annual value of £ 10 to each of them .

      SUICIDE BY A SOLDIER . On Tuesday afternoon , an inquest was held before John Blackburn , Esq ., at the house of Mr . J . W . Johnson , the Barrack Tavern , on ^ jew of the body of Joseph Bird , a private in the 17 th Lancers , now stationed at Leeds barracks , who committed suicide j by blowing his brains out with a horse pistol , on Monday evening . The appearance of the remains was shocking in tne extreme ; the charge of the j fisiol , ( and a very heavy one it must have been ) , : aving pa- 'sed from under the chin carrying away ! the left side of the face , disfiguring the right side , ¦ and entirely blowing to pieces the skt . il , scattering the brains in every direction . The Jury having viewed the body , which had been removed to the , dead house at tie barracks , the following evidence • was heard : — i

      Jlr . Wm . Hall , quarter-master of the 17 th Lancers , deposed that the deceased had for five or six years been his servant ; he had been in the regiment about twentyone years ; he last saw him alive about a quarter past ten yesterday morning , and had observed for the last few ¦ weeks , more particularly , symptoms of something like insanity ; be bad been given to drinking , and seldom vent on parade without great appearance of Der-Tonmess . The witness could not assign any cause for ttw deed ; he had been his servant , always paid his monthly bills , aad with one exception had found nothing irrong . He considered him an honest man . master in the 17 th

      John Gcugh , sergeant school Lancers , saidthat he saw the deceased about half-past ten . o ' clock on "Monday morning ; he went into the Quarter Master ' s store-room attbattlme , in consequence ol hearing a report that the Quarter Master himself had been shot ; the door he found locked ; and whilst fcryirg to effect an entrance the deceased opened thB door ; there was much smoke , and deceased said he tad been firis ^ his pistol through the window . The report iras an unusual one ; the pistol had evidently been icaded with balL The marks of two bails were afterwards found on the wall of his room , and a ball which had been fired was found in the room . The

      witness had net observed any change in his manner , snd always considered him of sound mind . Martha Eastwood , servant to Mr . Hall , the Quarter Mast e r , who resides in Bnalingtborpe-lane , deposed that she saw the deceased about half-past twelve on Monday ; ehe aaw no more of him ; at half after three in the afternoon , sh e hea r d t he r epo rt of a pistol ; the had heard several reports during the day and took bo notice of it ; but about six had occasion to go into a bay-loft on the premises , to fetch some wood , when she saw the deceased laid ; she gave information to other parties , and a boy went up ; had net observed any thing particular in his manner .

      Wm . Britton , son of a private in the regiment , deposed that he went into the hay-loft , where he fonnd the deceased laid oa the floor on a sack ; he was without coat , waistcoat , and shoes ; he had a pistol in his rig-ht hand . Be was quite dead . Thomas Spiers , policeman , w as sen t fo r , and found the deceased laid in the loft as described . He had the pistol , which had evidently been discharged , in hia right hind , with his finger on the trigger . m . t his zight side there was a razor laid . His cap had been shot through , and there were portions of the skull in the csp . His brains were scattered about the room . From the state of the room it appeared as if the deceased had been burning some papers . |

      Martha Bird , the wife of the deceased , said she had cot seen him alive since about six o ' clock yesterday morning ; ha had been low-spirited for some time , particularly since the death of Mrs . Hall , the wife of tht quarter master , in whom he always said he had lost a good mistress . The Jury retired for a few minutes , and re tu rned a verdict that fcha deceased shot himself whilst labouring under temporary derar cement .

      HUDDEBSFEEU ) . —Magisterial Law . —A poor man was heard to be rather noisy ( being intoxicated ) in the presence of several officials during the late excitement ; he was taken before the magistrates , who ordered him to pay fifteen shillingsa sum he could no ; pay , 30 was set at liberty , under the promise that he would pay . Failing to do so a p to last Monday , he was placed in the stocks for the debt . If those who are so strenuous for sobriety were treated in a similar manner when intoxicated , the stocks would generally be engaged .

      MANCHESTER . —The adjourned inquest sat on Wednesday upon the death of poor Lyons , and after remaining together for several hours , b r oke up in coiuusiou , on account of their not agreeing in their opinions upon a verdict , one part saying thas it was justifiable homicide , and the other that it wis a case of manslaughter , if not murder , as there was no auack made upon the mill by the turn-outs , the assault being made from within . Oaeo ] d gentleman , in the heat of the debate , cried out at the top of his voice , that he would " go to heil twenty-five times before he wonld agree to a verdict of justifiable homicide ; it was murder and nothing less . " Their numbers were as follows : —Eleven for justifiable homicide , and eight for manslaughter . And to such a height did they get , that they broke np and left the case as they found it . Nor did they appoint a future day to meet and decide upsn it . We suppose that a fresh jury will have to be chosen-

      Sedgwick Powdke . Mills , neak Kkxdal . —A -serious explosion took place at these mills about a quarter before two o ' clock on the morning of Saturday last . No idea can be formed a 3 to the occasion of the accident ; but , at the time mentioned , the watchman , who had just been his round and found all right , had returned to ihe watch-house , which he had scarcely entered ere the first blow occurred , and sent in afier him the door whieh he had closed the moment before . The extent of the damage done cannot be very accurately estimated until it has been

      repaired ; but four mills , with their contents , were destroyed ; and many widows in the neighbouring cottages , with several panes in SedgwicV . House , the residence of J . WakeSeld , Esq ., one of the proprietor ? , were shattered . The grinding mills—in which the expiosion occurred—are erected in pairs , one water-wheel turning two pairs of stones ; and the two pairs of mills blown up were separated by an interval of about twenty yards . Fortunately , no life was sacrificed , and no personal injury susiaised by any one . —Kendai Mercury .

      Boy Picked vv at Sea . —On Thursday last , about noon , the Q-ieen of the Isle steamer , on her passage from Liverpool to Douglas , picked np a small boat , contain :: ; " a boy about ten years of age . The poor fellow , when brought on board , w as in a sta t e of partial inanity , aTisicg from fear and the effeets of the salt rra : er be had drank . It appears , he was a little , ibilora wretch , wandering about Douglas Having , en Saturday week , begged a small bag of meal , of which seme boys endeavoured to rob him , he took re rage in a small boat , which being let adrift by his pursuers , he was carried out to sea , and when discovered by tha captain , was abont forty miles from the p lace he had drifted from . A medical man being on board , e-rery attention was paid to him , and he is now in a fair way of recovery .

      Fatal Pbize-fight . —Salisbury was on Monoay last c ; s >; rac- _ d by a prize-fight , in which a young mas , eighteen years of age , named James Ltnton , fell a victim to his adversary , a person about his own sse , n a m ed J osep h Coombs . It appears that a spirit of rivalry has for some time beau manifested in both the combatants , who were first cousins , and both of vhem bj trade cordwainers , and Monday was fixed upon for a trial of prowess . Accordingly a wa * er waa laid , and the parties having calmly selected their seconds and bottie-holders , proceeded to a field near Lobcombe-gate , about a mile on the London road , where they were prohibited by the owner of ihe fit-Id from exhibiting their brute-like passion ? . Nothing disconcerted ,

      however , they repaired to a meadow tome quarter of a m ; ie nearer the city , but also within _ the preciEct . e of the borough , and commenced fighting . Tne eombat lasted nearly an hour , with half-minute intervals between the rounds ; but before many had been fought , the deceased was beaten ¦ " Btone blind . " In order , however , that this mischance Ehould not interrupt the exhibition his eyes were laneed , and he continued to fight until nature became entirely exhausted , and he was heard to say that he would give in . At this time he was ghastly pale , and trembled from hand to foot , but being Ofer-persuaded to have one round more , he stood opipr that purpose , and while Coombs was again patting himself in & fighting attitude , the deceased life

      fell to rise no more . At thi 3 period , although was evidently all but extinct , the co nquering party drew the stakeB , and almost immediately repaired to their rendezrons , leaving the deceased upon the field . There he wz 3 allowed to remain about a quarter of an hour , and was then removed on a hurdle to the Salisbury Infirmary , but before tne poor feUow reached the institution , death put an end to his sufferings . The magistrates immediately ordered the police to apprehend the parties concerned , and -. He of the seconds , named Bead , is already in custody , and a 3 the others are known , we trust that every one will be punished . v > e regret to add that npwards of 200 persons wr . nesKd . this rcTolting transaction .

Victor was delivered of her 32 nd child , at the age of 58 yeare I—Paris paper . i Naval Hero of' Humble Rank . —Died here lately , Mr . George Gray , at the advanced age of 82 years . For considerably npwards of thirty years he held the situation of a tidewaiter in the Customs , and a few years ago was superannuated , receiving a retiring pension for his long and faithful services . At an early period of life he served in the navy , and fought trader Admiral Hyde Parker , in the gallant action of that distinguished officer with the Dutch fleet under Admiral Zautman , off the Doggerbank , on the 5 th of August , 1781 . He afterwards served in the grand fleetunder Lord Howe

Al-: though far from obtrusive , yet , when the subject of I the action off the Doggerbank was introduced , he ; entered into it with great spi r it , and seemed to feel a 1 pride in having shared in the glory of that memorable engagement , of which , it is believed , he was the last survivor . —A berdeen Herald .

      Emigbanis in America . —We learn that within the las ; week from seven to eight hundred emigrants have arrived in this city , and that their situation is truly deplorable , friendless and without the means of sustaining themselves from abject suffering unless they can procure work . They could not have come to our shores at a more unpropitious period ; whatever may have been their condition at home , it was superior to that they &Te forced into in a season like this ; it is criminal to delude emigrants to come to this couniry at the present time , and we trust the Irish press will place before the people who may be about to emigrate , the true condition of those who are here already ; without work or even the prospect f it must

      , o , they in a short time be reduced to the most melancholy straits to procure subsistance . Cannot something be done to relieve the friendless and lonely lot of those who are here in this situation 1 \ We think an effort Bhould be made at all events , to direct aud council them in their forlorn condition , and if possible procure for them some means to protect them from the sufferings a stranger without money in a strange land , must feel . —Boston Pilot . [ Our attention being called to the above extract , we j cannot but give it a passing remark . From other ¦ sources we have learned that thousands of emigrants . are in a most deplorable condition , at which we j marvel not . The large townB are literally crammed i with those who have left their father-land in quest I of an asylum from tyranny ' s fell dominion . These / emigrants having had barely sufficient means to ! convey them across the Atlantic , are compelled to

      I remain where they are set down , consequently there | must be a redundancy of operatives and much dis-; tress . Emigrants must either carry their friend in i their pocket , or endure privation , for they may rest I assured that hospitality to strangers is as scarce a : commodity in America as in any other part of the world . America has its aristocracy and its profit-, mongers , manure its admirable constitution—the I tares are there plentiful and require eradicating ; and wa think it more praise-worthy and patriotic in i Englishmen to stay at home , and labour in reforming . the abuses in our own country , rather than to self-ex-I patriate themselves under the vain hope of meeting i with a Whittington ' s fortune among strangers . We ' therefore advise all to stay at home—to set their own i hon ^ e in order by clearing away the rubbish which j faction has heaped together , always remembering that England has , within herself , the material to i . make all her son 3 comfortable and happy . —Ed .

      THE MANCHESTER PACKER . TO THE EDITOB OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —Having seen in your paper a resolution posset ! concerning me at Manchester , allow me , through your means , to tell those gentlemen that I think it would have been the fairest way if they had sent me a line or two first , and then they could but publish me after . Ji / conduct , since I have stood forth in this cause , will bear the strictest scrutiny ; and I know when those delegates are better informed of my actions , they will come to an opposite conclusion . To enable them to do so , I shall feel much obliged to every locality whtre I have lectured to sen * their opinion of my conduct and abilities to Mr . Cartledge , 34 , Loniasstreefc , Bank Top , Manchester , before the 16 th October , ¦ when , if I am at liberty until then , I shall meet acy one who can bring the smallest charge against me , and let all that are strangers to me suspend their judgments until theii ; and to mj friends , let thesa examine my conduct and report accordingly .

      Ton are , no doubt , aware that I have been lecturing in London ; but perhaps you are not aware of one thing , that at every lecture I had the attendance of police spies in plain clothes , and sometimes men were sent in to disturb the meeting , and causa a breach of the peace ; but it was " no go . " I have now passed through Wakefield , where the authorities would not allow me to lecture in the open air , so we were obliged to go into a private house , where we had a very comfortable party . I proceeded on Tuesday to Eist Retford , Nottinghamshire , where I found some thousands waiting my arrival , and the police called out , ready cut and dried ( or boiled ; , to put me down . Ween I came up to the Corn Market , and was just beginning my lectnre , Mr .

      Foljambe , the mayor , came up t o m e , with some more of the powers tbBt be , " and the blues bringing up the rear , and told me I must not lecture on Chartism in that town . I told him I would go to the outside of the town ; but he said he was a county magistrate , and he would put a step to the meeting if held in the county anywhere within the reach of hia power . I then asked this doughty magistrate what reason he could give for such tyrannical conduct Hia reply was , " I do not choeee to tell my reason . " I then announced my i&tention to lecture in a private house , which waa received with three hearty cheers : and when we got a very large room in a house belonging to one of the right sort it was filled to suffocation , and thousands had to stand outside with the policemen , who walked

      sentry . I have to meet Mr . Collins , the " new-move" advocate , this evening , Wednesday , in Dancaster . I expect we shall rot cgree : and if he dont go the -Hhole hog Etrai ^ ht forward , he may expect little quarter from me and the Doncaster trumps . The Tories are drawing it rather tight ; but it » all for the fc €£ t Yours , for ever , Thomas Dicki > 'S 0 > . Esst Redford , Xc-tts . Sept . 20 , 134 . 3 .

      towards me to deter you from proving the verity of yoor charges ? You must hare known , that jastice to yourself , and to society , demanded that you should do it , particularly when called upon by the accused person . Have you tha confidence to imagine , now that you hare been required to produce your evidence , and have shrank from doing so , that people will not Bay that you could net prove the statements you made—that you uttered slandewus falsehoods . Way is mjr word not worth a farthing ? Havel deceived paopla by pretending to what I am not ? Have I promised , in order to deceive ? Have I made false statements ? Have I made serious assertions against 1 the honour and probity of an individual , as yon have dene , and , when urged by the

      person whom I have traduced , to produce proofs , have been silent ? Do I fear , think yon , the whole of my past conduct being ripped up , scrutinised , and contrasted with your own ? What ! ia it because I do not shroud myself with the mantle of religious hypocrisy ? Because I express my opinions on political subjects openly and candidly ? Because I am willing to do justice to all ? Because I advocate the cause of the oppressed against their oppressors , the cause of truth against that of falsehood , that my word is " not worth a farthing" ? Ask the inhabitants of Fails worth and Newton Heath , upon whose integrity they would sooner rely , Jonathan Mellor ' s or mine ; and I have th « confidence to think that I should have no reason to blush for the answer .

      Your conduct , in this matter , prompted , as it appeared to me to be , by a vindictive feeling , waa highly culpable . It is exceedingly culpable for any one , however low his station , to make an assertion against another ' s honesty without proof . How much more , then , must it be for a Magistrate , while acting in hia judicial capacity , to be gnilty of such an offence ? You were not required to give your opinion relative to tke rectitude of any one , nor were you surrounded by circumstances which could extenuate your language . I , and those with me , did not appear beforo you on account of moral dereliction or for any infraction of the laws . All that you had to do was , to consider whether our pleas againBt being sworn in as constables were such as you could legally admit or not , and to aot accordingly .

      As you have set an example by making assertions against my character , it cannot sorely be considered unreasonable if I follow it by making one against yours ; but I promise you , that I will not go the whole length of your precedent I will not , when called upon , hesitate te come forward to prove it It is that you acted very uncourteoualy and unbecomingly at the Bull ' s Hsad , on tha 15 th ult . You spoke as if you were speaking to slaves ; in short , your conduct , in m y opi n ion , was more like that of a thoughtless , uneduoated boo r , than of a reflecting , intelligent , and urbane

      gentleman ; and I should not be doing my duty to society were I , after publishing this letter , to remain passive —were 1 not to write to the Secretary of State for the Home Department , to acquaint him with the whole affair , and to request that he will call upon you , either to prove ihe truth of your words or acknowledge your culpability ; or , oh the other hand , to erase your name from the list of magistrates . I am , Worshipful Sir , Yours , PETER Brown . To Jonathan Mellor , Esq ., Oldbam .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SiE , —The authorities here are still doing duty in searching for all persons buspected of taking part in the late riots . The vigilance of the magistrates is in active operation in the different districts of tho Potteries . Mr . Ellis was tried on Monday , the 12 th inst ,, and tha Court House , Newcastle-under-Lyne , was crowded to hear hiB examination . After hearing of the evidence , and the cross-examinations , which lasted five hours , he was committed for high treason . The Hall waa adorned with a beautiful pieee of artillery inside . A county meeting of magistrates have decided on having a horse patrol for the County , and have already commenced their duties in the Potteries .

      Persecution for opinions has reared its hydra-healed influence to put down every honest , industrious , and suber-thinking man , who may happen to entertain opinions different from those of his employers , as the following facts will show : —Some members of the Chartist body have been found to read the Northern Star in their own houses , which has come to the knowledge of the masters . For this some of the poor men have been discharged by their Tory task masters As many as seventy at a time have been discharged , suspected of being Chartists , before the time of their mutual agreements had transpired . These are tho class who administer the laws , and are the first ta break all laws , moral and political . Will our local press take up this monstrous injustice ? No . It will still worship the god , Mammon , and allow the masses to be trampled on by its influence .

      Reohubite societies have been wholly dissolved by means of being threatened to bo prosecuted as secret orders by the influential part of the community . I suppos 3 this will be called the " suppression of vice . ' I must here claim , Mr . Editor , your indulgence for a little space in your columns . The Whig i ditor" of our local press , i t appears , has felt the severe castigation of ray letter of lost week , headed , " Whig Conspiracy against Chartist Principles . " A whole column of Billingsgate has been lavished on me in his last week ' s Mercury , such ns " sneak , " &c ., which I treat with contempt , but , for the satisfaction of every honest and true Chartist , I must here deny the foul lying of this " Liar of the North . "

      He says , in his last week ' s Mercury , that when at hia office " I said I belonged to a different lodge to that cf Messrs . . Richards , Ellis , & Co . " I nude no such statement ; these were my words , «• That every member of the Chartist body was responsible for his own acts , and not the body . " With tugard to the resolution on the 16 th cf August , passed on the Crown B . ink , I took the same views as the Northern- Star on that subject , believing it would split up the cause , and consequently did not act any par t in them . I spoke myself on that occasion in favour of the " People ' s Charter , " not cessation of labour . I left my fellow Chartists to please themselves ; but the Mercury says I did . He is a liar , and like the devil , the father of lies , from the beginning . He says I did not sanction Cooper ' s lectures . I said I did not attend them for the above reasons . Mr . Cooper neither moved , seconded , nor supported , any resolution .

      As for J . Richards , Ellis , & Co . being my companions , I acknowledge them all as genuine friends of freedom and pure Chartism ; not what the Mercury makes it , namely , riots , incendiarisms , &o . I believe that my compeers are not yet guilty of such charges , and perhaps , as in a late case with one of our Members , good counsel , and good evidence , which I believe can be had , will prove it Then the " Liat of the North " will be chop-fallen .

      P . S . In tha introductory remarks to Ellis ' s examinat ion , in the Mercury of tho 17 th . it is stated that Win . Ellis was Chairman' for Mr . O'Connors lecture , at Hanley , on May 21 st Such a falsehood should not pass unnoticed at a time like the present The truth is , it was not Ellis , but another young man , a resident of Hanley , of very promising talent , and whose character is uustalned by any immoral ncf . Ellis took no part whatever in the lecture . It is said , too , by the same Whig Editor , that Mr . Ellis said " M'Douall waB a base fellow . " I have received a communication to say it is a foul He . I have no doubt this ia done to stop Chartists from giving him their support , pecuniary or otherwise .

      DEATH OF MR . Q . M . BARTLETT . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NO&THERN STAR . Southampton , Sept . 19 th , 1842 . Dear SIR , —I have jait received a letter from Bath , which commnnicatea the melancholy and sfflioting intelligence of the death of my brother ( your reporter ) , Mr . Q . M . Baitlett . Tbe sorrowful event took placa at his residence , 19 , Gloucester Road Buildings , Lower Swanswick , on Sunday morning , at o n e o ' clock . In him the cause has lest a valuable supporter , and his friends a social and agreeable comp . mion , whose loss will be long lamented and deplored . I cannot but imagine him to be another on the list of the victims of

      whiggery . He has frequently said he never should recover the injuries he sustained by bis confinement in Ilchester Gaol . His health has been gradually declining ever since ; and his exertions , latterly , in attending public meetings have accelerated it He was most industrious in bis application to his duty ; unceasing in his exertions to improve his mind . Solely , by self culture , was be able , not only to arrive at a knowledge of his own language , bo that he might write it correctly , but also to a sufficient knowledge of the French and Latin , m to be able to read and translate thorn with propriety ; and this by perseverance alone , w ithou t the aid of a master .

      As regards his uprightness and integrity of hearthis lov « of principle , and his firm determination to stand ot tall by tke truth , nothing can more illustrate it , t&an his late exposition of some of his friends for th * U vacllatlng and sliding policy . In this I believe Mm to be upright , honest , and just The love of principle urged him to do hia duty , and by loving principle , be bated and detested expediency . He was a kind and affectionate brother , a dutiful son to his pa r e n ts , whose chief support he was . Incessantly he laboured for their welfare and happiness , and found great comfort and happiness himself by doing so . Not an idls boor has be spent for the last seven years of his life , the whole of which time has been entirely devoted to the cause of democracy , for which he was ever an advocate . Ho lived and died in its faith—an honour to himself , an honour to the cause , and an honour to mankind .

      The insertion of this , or a notice of the same from yourself , would be esteemed a favour , by his Afflicted , brother , . s . Bartlett ,

      THE PATRIOT COOPER . The spirit with which this indomitable patriot " bears up against a load of woes , " may be in some sort estimated by the following extract of a private letter to her , kindly furnished by Mrs . Cooper : — " Stafford , Monday , Sept 19 th , 1842 . •*?**¦**• , " Well , I still look forward with a calm and intrepid hope , not that I shall get out of these toils unscathed , but that I shall be able , undauntedly , though with the modesty of a man , ' to speak the truth , and fear not j ' and then that I shall be able to meet and endure my sentence as becomes one who has so often displayed to assembled thousands tho h ! gh and holy example of Latimer , and Raleigh , and Algernon Sydney , and all the worthies of Old EDgland . I will hope the best , but meet the worst , as it becomes those to do who have embarked all their hopes and fears—who have thrown their whole being into the strangle for truth .

      " A fortnight from to-day , and the Jadges enter Stafford for our trials ! How rapidly the time will pass away ! and then comes the effor t . How exultingly I shali go up to it . ' I nsed to feel proud ts go out on the Sunday evenings , to take my stand in Leicester Market Place , to deliver truth ; but how much more proudly shall I proceed to this trial ! My heart will be the lightest in Court that day . It sh ^ ll be a day in my life , depend on it !"

      \ HOW TO CATCH THE CHARTISTS . I We invite the attention of the Chronicle and the public to the following sample of Cotton Lord honesty : r—On the 17 th of August , Mr . James Leach , of Manchester , the dread of the Cotton Lords , was arrested in his own house under the folio mng circumstances : — A messenger came to his house , between ten and eleven . o ' clock , with an anonymous letter , purporting to come from the Secretary of a Becret Association sitting at ; Oldhani , and deliberating npci the best means of carryi ing the Charter , by destroying life and property . ; Mr . Leach was not at home when the messenger ; arrived , and Mis . Leach saw him . Leach returned , ; when the letter was handed to him , and Instantly i the messenger began to stamp with bis feet as j loud as he could . " What's the matter with you ? " inquired Mrs . Leech . " O , " said he , ¦ " my feet are bo blistered from walking that ; I cant keep them quiet ! " " Hold , hold , " s » id 1 Mrs . Leach , " you'll disturb the neighbours . If your

      feet are sore , 111 give you some linen to put to them . " Leacb , in the meantime , was reading the letter , and havicg concluded , and shrewdly suspecting that it was a trap , he tore it in small pieces , the messenger still coctinuicg his stamping most outrageously . On the sudden , Berwick the constable and man of all-work of the League , and the authorities , rushed in , looked at the letter , shoved the assassin ont of the room , apprehended Leach , put him into a coach , nnd drove him off to prison . Tae moment that Beswick had started , M'Muilen , another of the police gang , rushed into the house , ran up stain , and gathered up every fragment of the torn letter , tied it up with cord , and took it away . Now there is a plain stcry , on which comment would be an insult to common ser . se , aud proves at once the means to which the League , the masters , the authorities , and their jackills will resort , to establish tbeir hellish dominion upon the ruins of ChaTtifim . —Erening Star ,

      AMERICAN OPINION OF O'CONNOR AND TBE CHARTISrS . We extract tha following article , expressive of public opinion in America , with regard to the Charter , fro m the Plebeian : — " No greater evidence of a great and powerful mind can be furnished to the world than an unshaken and firm adherence , amidst repudiation , reproach , and obloquy , to its principles . Their eventual and ultimate success and adoption is the sure and invariable test of their truth and soundness , and the proudest triumph of

      the wisdom which devised them , and the indomitable perseverance which secured their practical adoption-Many ' Instances an to be found in our political history , wherein the commnnlty , after having for yean been misled by artful misrepresentations and rash conclusions , have been induced by the sober second thought to sift the true merits of a disputed question , to acknowledge their errors , and yield a cheerful , though late , sanction to measures and to men identified with their vital interests , and with the great causa of humanity .

      " And , perhaps , there u no stronger existing evidence of the truth of these observations , than the fact of the present agitation in England of the great and patriotic O'Connor . We sea him undismayed amid tbe scorn and threats of his adversaries , still perseveriDg in the gleriouB cause of liberty—still energetically maintaining his high position in the hearts of Englishmen . The day is not far distant when the Chatter , the princi ples of which we , as good Republicans , cannot but oramend , will become the great moving force of political action in our mother country .

      ARREST OF MR . JAMES MITCHELL , OF STOCKPOXT . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sltt . —Peririt me to lay before our friends and the public , the particulars of my arrest at C' -urchtown , a village near Southport ; a case which has not only caused hundreds to sympathies with oar cause , bat one which has brought down the vengeance of the Liverpool press—the Mercury for instance—upon the heads of the authorities of North Shields , for the brutal and inhuman conduct towards myself and Mr . Gtregsou , & gentleman in Churchtown , who for no other offence than merely allowing the use of his Room for tha delivery of a lecture , was cast into prison , fined in t he sum of £ 5 with thirteen shillings coats , and bound in the sum of £ 50 himself , and two sureties in the sum cf £ 25 ea c h , to appear at tke next Liverpool sessions , to answer the same charge . The particulars are as follow : —

      On tbe firBt instant I visited the place above-mentioned , and at the request of a number of the inhabitants I promised to deliver two lectures on the state of the country ; and , being aware of the excited state of things , my object was to steer clear of all opposition , from the authorities and elsewhere ; I drew up the following notice : — " The public are respectfully informed that Mr . Mitchell , of Stockport , will deliver tw » lectures , one this evening , and another to-morrow evening , on the present distressed state of the country . Mr , Mitchell will show the real cause of the distress which exists amongst the gr * ab body of the middle and working classes , and will also show the only peaceable means by which permanent happiness can be restored to the millions . All classes are respectfully i eq uested to attend . '

      This notice I presented to Mr . Singleton , the police officer for that district , for his approval or disapproval , and requested his attendance at the lecture . Mr . Singleton gave me his consent , and so far signified his approval of the proceedings that when a Mr Thompson , who had promised t ' ao use of his room for ihe occasion , drew back his agreement , he ( Mr . Singleton ) ordered the bellman to continue crying the meeting , and stated that if a room could not ; be obtained , the meeting must be held in the open air ; however Mr . Gregso . i afterwards kindly volunteered the use of the room , in which the lectures were delivered . The first lecture was delivered , and a more peaceable and orderly meeting I never addressed in my life . Noi a word of objection was raised from any quirter , not even by Mr . Singleton , who was present the whole of the time .

      On the second night , ju 3 t before the lecture commenced , Mr . Cfregson informed me that a policeman had ordered him to turn out tho people and lock up the room . I asked why they had given him suck order , and he stated to me that be did not know , but that so long as the proceedings were legal and peaceable he should allow the lectnre to go on ; and I also stated that if the authorities had any objections to my lecturing , or if during any part of my lecture they would request me to cease , that I would that instant break up tha meeting . I commenced speaking , and continued for about an hour and a half , during which thera were

      four or five police officers , and , I understand , a magistrate and an attorney present , no one ofi'dring a word of opposition to the meeting . But at this part of the business a Mr . Jams , sergeant o ? the police , requested me to dissolve the meeting , saying that he considered it illegal . I obeyed the order at once ; the meeting separated as peaceably as on the first night , and I heard no more until the following morning , when I was arrested by Mr . Singleton and conveyed to the Southport lock-up , where I was confined until the next day , without knowing any thing of the charge that was to be preferred against me .

      Mr . Gregson was arrested also on the Sand&y morning , and kept till Monday , when ho was brought up and fined in thd sum of £ 5 tor merely lending bis room ; bat the magistrates finding , after three day ' s consideration , that they either did not know the law , or that they had stretched it too for , very kindly returned the £ 5 back again to Mr . Gregson , but still feept him under bail for his appearance at the sessions . I waa brought up on the Monday , under a charge of using seditious language at an illegal meeting , but the evidance of Mr . Singleton not being strong enough to coivict , ( for he was the only witness against me ) , I was remanded until the Thursday following , when I was again brought up , but such was the state of my

      health , in consequence of my treatment ia the dungeon , of which I shall give you a description by and by , that I was not able to stand during my examination ; But the novelty of the thing is here , Mr . Editor ; on this day fresh evidence was brought against me . Another policeman was found who could say something in the matter ; and what do you think the subject of his evidence was ? It was this . I told the meeting " that Lord John Russell , previous to the paaaing of the Reform Bill , declared that no man bad a right to obey a law that be bad not a voica in making . " On this evidence , and that of Mr . Singleton , the policeman who ordered the bellman to cry the meeting , and who invited a number of his frieuds to attend the

      meeting , I was ordered by two magistrates , one of whom had been at the lecture and listened co me an hour and a half before he knew tho meeting was illegal , to find bail for my appearance , if called on , at tbe next Liverpool sessions . I will now just give you a description of the dungeon in which I was confined . It is a cellar , the bottom of which is about six feet below the surfaca of the earth ; it is situated under a new houae , in which Mr . Jones the sergeant of police , resides ; the sizs of it is about five yards by four and a half . The wall on one side is so damp o n some occasions , that the water ruaa down to the bottom . On another side of the placo is a form which serves for a bed and a scat at the same time , one half of it being wet with rain , which runs down tho wall in rainy weather . There is no fire , no stove , no hot air of any description by which the place can be dried cr heated .

      In another par t of the place was a tub or bucket for the convenience of prisoners ; to tbis thera was no covering ; aud I'll leave you to judge wha . t kind of smell must be continually under the nose of the inmate . This I had with ma three days without being emptied at all . When I flrac entered the place I had to grope my way to the seat although it waa nine o'clock in tha morning . The length and breadth of the hole through which the light is allowed to penetrate , is about nine inches by two and a half , over which is placed a grid of iron ; and taking off the thickness of iron of which the grid is composed , it leaves about three inches by two of pur-j light .

      From the morning of my arrest and confinement in this place , I was forbidden the privilege of writing , even to my family . I was not allowed to apply for legal advice ; I was not allowed to send for , hear from , or write to any person . My diet was one msal each twelve ho u ra , and that of an inferior quality ; my bed was tha wet form of which I have given a description ; my covering at nieht was an old potato sack , with an eld coat for my pillow : there was part of a horse-rug , in which I sometimes wrapped my feet This waa the whole of my stow ; and in this state I was kept from Sunday morning till the Thufsday following , wi t hou t the consolation of a siaale friend baing allowed to

      see me . On the Wednesday morning the keeper came to see me ; and finding that I was shivering with cold , and almost speechless with the effects of confinement in such a place , allowed me to com 9 out and sit by his kitchen fire , chaining me at the some time to the bandie of his oven door for safety . In an hour I was again placed in the dungeon , until four in tha afternoon , wben I waa obliged to bo taken cut a second times under similar circumstances . At half-past five I ngain retired to the regions below , ansl tvt nine o ' clock I ¦ waa a ^ aia allowed to warm myself at the fire for one hour . On this

      occasion I begsetl hard for a gill of warm -beer at my own expence : I thought it would make me sleep a little ia the night ; but it was no go . Prisoners were not allowed to have drink of an intoxicating nature . I asked if I was under the same regulations as the coqiiuon felon ? " Yes , '' was the answer , " there Is no difference . " However , the noxt morning , it waa aeen that another day would have almost finished me , and finding tliat they had got a bad case in hand at the surae timo , they tried to rake my spirita by singing , " Cheer up you * heart , my lad , and never bb daunted , " & 3 . < Stc . Tfee kind magistrates pitied my case also , aud allowed me to Bit during my examination .

      Sir , I shall make no comment . I have given you tbe simple facts of the case . I shall leave you and the public to judge and make you ? own comments . Youra in the cause until death , J . Mitchell . [ The above statement is ono tbat should go to the heart of every working man , aud , indeed , to the heart of nl \ of every cIobs who are not entirely dead to the calls of humanity and of justice . Mitchell bas flera told his own tale , and we feel liat comment upon it is unnecessary , and only tend to weaken its effect . We once more ask , where shah be the end of these things ?

      Mitchell wns told that ho waa to fare the same aa the common felon : and thus is . all distinction between various classes of offence annihilated . But Mitchell had committed no oftence : he is clearly one of the victims of Sir James Graham ' s new docWna of the power of the police . But let the system work . It is coming to a close ; and the time is not distant when tbe renegade Baronet and his police spies will alike be consigned to oblivion by an indignant people . Mitchell has been treated as a felon ; but we enter our solemn protest against ev « n & felon being se treated . The hellhole at Southport Is dearly unfit for any human being tooccnpy . 3

      SAtMUlSL MUNDIN , THE CHARTIST PRISONER . At the close of the meeting , held at the Associations'Hill , Old Bailey , the case of Samuel Mundin , tho Chartist prisoner , was brought under the consideration of the Couucil , as one of the utmost and most pressing necessity , involving the prospects and liberty of the man . [ It will be reoolieoted that Mundin , who is a boot and shoemaker , was one of the individuals taken np by the polico , rather more than three weeks back , at the Chartist meeting of the Marylebone district , held near the terminus of the Great Western Railway ; since when he has been incarcerated for want of tbe required bail ]

      Mr . WaddingtoH said that this was a case of the greatest hardship ; the unfortunate man , who wa 3 remarkable for his industry and good conduct , and who has a wife and two children dependent for their support on his exertions , waa at that moment without the means of defence , and his trial was fixed to come on on Monday next . He ( Mr . Waddington ) had received a letter from , and sought an interview with him , on the subject of his defcuce , butwa 3 refwsed to seo him . He had twenty-fivo witnesses to character , in the prisoner ' s case , aud had ( as he was understood ) , offered bail in five instances for him , but tho autnorities had thrown every obstacle in tho way , and refused the bail tendered . There was no time to be lost in getting ud the poor man ' s defence ;

      council and attorney were yet to be employed . Tha members of the Chartist body should " pat their shouldeva . to the wheel , " for if this man should bo lost for want of proper exertion , it would be an eternal disgrace to the Chartist body . ( Hear , hear . ) Tho man ' s wife has beou allowed to see him once in prison ; but she was poor , and unable to doany * thing to serve him . She was reduced , even , by the incarceration of her husband , and her consequent inability to pay her rent , to leave the place where he carried on hi 3 Tbusiness prior to hU incarceration , — namely , Market-street , Edgware-road , and the blow which has coma upon him was ruin to him . Mr . Salmon said that a committee of delegates had been appointed to look after Mundin ' s cass .

      Mr . Waddington—Then that committee bus done nothing ! Mr . Gardener , an operative , taid he was present when Mundin was taken by the police , who knocked and pulled him ( Mundia ) about in a most violent manner ; aud ho ( Mr . Gardener ) knew , from experience , that the authorities would do evory thing iu their power to convict tho poor man if they could . Exertions should , therefore , ba at once mace to get up his defence . Mr . Gardener ( who said that Mundin ' s only offence . was , that he said— " 1 adjourn this meeting ! " ) then narrated that he was himself taken up on tfw occasion in question , and subjected to thrco weeks ' imprisonment for no other caaso than having been present at the meeting ; ( " Shame I" ) in addiliou to which , he had boon treated with the greatest indignity at the station house—stripped even to his boots and stockings , and searched by tho polioe . ( renewed murmurs . )

      After some further discussion , it was moved by Mr . Overtoil , and seconded by Mr . Sumner , that Mundin ' s case be brought before tho council of Delegates on Sunday do-morrow ); and Mr . Waddington pledged himself to get some subscriptions among his friends towards the expenses of the defence . - The meeting then separated . ,
