      TO THE GE 3 XBJ 1 SECKRTXB . 7 OP THE XATIOSAL CHABTEB , ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIS . Hull , July 13 , 1842 . Sir , —Anxiously alive to the appreciation at its due ireight of every movement in "which the interest of om National Charter Society may be concerned , and believing that it 1 ( 111 be no leas your pleasure than your duty to afford all necessary information to those who have a right to ask it from you , we , the General Councillors resident in Hull , make no apology for troubling you with this letter . You will probably agree with us , got nothing can be of more consequence to the

      prosperity and usefulness of our Society , than that the General Council and the members generally should bave implicit confidence in the Executive Committee , sod that nothing cm be more calculated to uphold that confidence *>>» " the existence of a perfect untier-Btanding by them of the money transactions of the Executive . Hence it is natural and right tint the published Balance Sheets should be closely examined and distinctly understood ; and in order to this , it is necessary that they should be made as dear and ' unambiguous in their details as possible .

      We have had no opportunity of consulting our Idlowcouncillors in other parts of the empire upon the subject , but we see no reason to think that their opinion will differ frem our own in this nutter ; and to therefore feel more directly impelled , by a sense of dnty , to inform you that , in our opinion , the Balance Sieet published in the Northern Star tf Saturday last , needs much explanation to enable us rightly to comprehend it We can have no doubt that you are perfectly able to afford that information wkich is requisite to make all that may be bow dark and unintelligible to us perspicuous and satisfactory ; and we hasten , therefore , at once to the laying before you of such hints for the Improvement of your general system of keeping acoompts , aad such requests for information , as to several of ii 3 items , aa this Balance Sheet suggests to us .

      Jn tbe first place we think the Balance Sheet deficient in its general contents . Oar idea of a Balance Sheet n that it should present an exact statement of the whole pecuniary affairs of the society ; that debts and liabilities should appeal open its surface as well & 3 artual cash H&nsactions . We think the country ought to be informed , not merely what money the Executive have recsived aad expended , but what , if anything , is owing to them by each and every locality , for cards and for their share ef members' contributions respectively ; and also -what the Executive owe , if anything . We feel quite sate that a general and fall statement of this kind ¦ would rive much satisfaction and do much good .

      We think also that much dissatisfaction js likely to be engendered by the fact that no dates are affixed to any of the items in the column of receipts by the Executive . This seems to be a slovenly way of doin ? business . We ?¦ hink every sum of cash received should have its appropriate date ; there is doubtless some good reason why this is not so , and we should feel better satisfied if we knew that reason . The lumping of the monies received from each locality in one sum , seems also to be objectionable , It would banana satisfactory if tbe precise sources of emolument

      were stated ; that is , if the statement from each locality ipecified how much was paid for cards , and when ; how much for members * Bubscriptions , &c We think the receipts from the Star office should be particularised , and not given in one gross lump . We think also that the column of cards should contain not only the number of cards issued during the quarter , but also the total number issued to each locality ; and we are further of opinion that tbe interest at tbe Association suffers much from the - issuing of cards without cash . We recommend that in future this practice be entirely

      discon-Unred-Thus much we have vestured in the way of general intimation as to what , in our opinion , would make the Balance Sheets of the Executive in future more ptr-Ep : uocs and satisfactory to the country than this one . "We now draw your attention to some matters of expenditure upon which we shall be happy to receive more information than the Balance Sheet affords . We find the sum of £ 9 4 s Id . put down for postage ten the 30 th of April to the 25 xh of June inclusive , l period of no more th . « m eight wetks and one day . Now we tiie for granted ] that al : letters received by the Executive will be pre-paid , and that this sum of £ 9 4 s . Id . is to be considered aa expended in the pro-payment of letters sent At one penny each , it will pre-pay 2 , 209 letters , and whether this be considered as applying to tbe eight weeks within the dates or to tbe whole quarter , it appears to us to be an amount of correspondence almost inaudible .

      We take for granted that , in accordance with his dnty , specified by the organization of the society , the General Secretary transacts all the business-correspondence of the society ; and yet we fird that on the 8 th of April , in the present Balance Sheet , tbe country is charged , in addition to the expences of the Secretary , with £ 110 s . 2 d . for toe postages of three other members of tbe Execntire . V : z : —Mr . Philp 10 a , 6 ± , 31 r . Williams 9 s . 8 & , tnd Dr . M'DoualilOs . "We wUb to know how this is ? It appears to us

      that the country ought not to W called on to pay the postage of all the personal correspondence of every memoer of the Executive ConiKntee . We wish also for an explanation of the fact that this charge occurs only once . Did these gentlemen incur do expence of postrce after the 8 th of April ? or are their postages , after that , thrown into one lamp along with those of tie General Secretary ? And if so , why are the people charged with any postages » t all , bet those of the General Secretary fairly incurred in attending to the fcnrness of the Association ?

      We ooserve that for the we * k between the 3 rd and the loth of June , the sum ef £ 1 12 s . Sd . is charged for pos ^ se . We reEatmber that m test wt ek resolutions of confidence in a late cember of the Executive were passed at certain meetings in Manchester and the neighbocrh" -cd , and that to serve the purposes of his election contest these resolntirns -were s ? nt in packets throngh the post to the various tub-secretar es and a great number i f other individuals m all parts of the country . We wifh to be distinctly in formed * whether these packets of resections form part of this charge tf £ 1 13 s . 8 d . lor that week ' s postage ?

      The plan of OKracizatJon provides that a certain pro-Jxrticn of tie exptnees ot the JExec-nriTe shall b = defK-tf-6 by the ecuntry -when they are employed in 0 / eaJdt . g vp new g : oujid for the Association ; and we obit-r-st that various members of the Executive Eetm by the b&Unce sheet to have been thus employed during the qnsrter to which it refers , as there : ire various chuJ-ges for " agitating expences" ; but in no caEe is it stated Where the labour was performed for -which th . se *' £ iitating expeccts" art charged . We wish to know the reason of this omi « sion . We wish particularly to

      krow where Dr . M'Douall was sjita'Jrg during the two weeks from tbe 3 rd to the ISth of June . We wish a'so to be informed how it is that MvDjnall * eemsby tte baisnee sheet to have been breaking up > l / w ground lean ? the whole of the qnarter , as his ' agitating exptrces" are charged with as mnch retjujarty as bis W 2 c « ¦ wetkby week . We would gladly learn "where Ik fci ? been employed , snd where tLese e-xpencea have "be n incurred . We are further -very anxious to learn tew it is that his " agitating essences * are charged tbe txsct mm of 3 os . in sdaition to his 30 a every week .

      There are yet a few other items that we think need expliicirjg . On the 9 : h of ilny we fird charged £ 2 for " & rch fare from London . " We wish to know by wb > m and on what business this expezjee wes incurred ? We £ r . 6 also on tht Soth of June . 12 ? . for " coach fare , " K--pfc : iBg which we have to reqetst similar information . An these matters and things we fisd to be rife subjeeu of painful comment among cur membeis here . They Lpp \ y \ # M for information , and we are driven tfcertiore to apply to yen , from whom we doubt not that wc stall hsxe it satisfactory and in f clL ^ elly expecting f * mt you will enable us to meet fairly * e < 1 satufcetorily the enquiries made of us , - We are , Sir , Your Brother Chartists , The Gesebal Cockcillobs besidest is Hull .

      Signed on behalf and by request of tbe whole , JaS . Gbassbt , Sub-Sec To this letter an answer was received from Mr . t ^ ffipbell , which unfortunately was not transcribed into the Minute Book , and was destroyed along with Kr . Gr&ssby ' s other papers by bis wife , after he left tbe ubUlci , on Dei learning that he was included in the " Cuiapi racy- indictment . Its general purport , bow-« w , maybe well gathered from the reply annexed , in wtiti ill its poiatB are considered seriatim .

      respects , your answers to some of our questions may be deemed satisfactory ; but your letter , as a whole , is anything bat satisfactory , and anything but what , at we tbirk , we bad a right to expect from you . You commence with an expression ol" mortification " on account of our last , and conclude with what we think to be a very ill-judged apology for the contumelious tone of your letter , a tone which we cannot think to have been merited by anything contained in ours . Yon write , in apparent high dudgeon , about '' suspicion" and * ' censure *' , which yon seem wishful to

      represent as being unjustly entert ained and exercised , and as being manifested in our letter . Sir , you mistake . When y « u have learned better how to estimate your own position and the people ' s rights , you will be able to see clearly that that letter breathes not the slightest intimation of either suspicion or censure . Nothing could be farther from our intention than to take any position at which honest men and true democrats could be offeBded ; and we have yet to learn , nf ter reviewing our letter to you , that it does txhibit us in any such position , or that its contents are each as at all to justify the high tone of mingled defiance aid contempt which characterises your present " long epistle " .

      We believe that- by none of our brother Chartists have the labours and deserts of tbe Executive been more fnily valued , and more highly appreciated , than by onnelrea and out brother members resident in this locality . We desire to give tbe Execative , individually and collectively , all dne credit ; and we admit that mneh credit is due to them for their activity , and zeal , and perseverance in our common cause ; but while we do this , we cannot for a moment admit the doctrine which the complaining tone of your letter covertly but clearly asserts—that any men , however excellent and patriotic , placed by the pe » ple ' s suffrages in a position so onerous , important , and responsible , as that of the Executive , can consistently consider their conduct above the question and investigation , and even , should it ke so directed , the ' suspicion" and " censure" of

      the people with whose affairs they are entrusted . There was nothing in our letter displacent or uncourteoua . We wrote limply to request from you an explanation of s-me matters in the balance-sheet , of which , as we did- - not understand them , we bad a perfect right to require an explanation ; not to say that it was necessary to enable us to satisfy our brethren , the members . Wegave you at tbe same time—we hope most respectfully —some general intimations which we thought calculated to promote the advantage of our cause . As councillors it was not merely our right , but our duty , to do that ; and when you , Sir , hava learned to know that tbe Executive Committee are what their rfSce specifies , an Executive and not a regnant body , you will have discovered that it was neither your right , nor your duty , to receive that intimation otherwise than respectfully .

      So much , Sir , foi the tone of yom- letter ; -which it is our duty to apprise yon doas not comport with our LTea 8 of what might be expected from a responsible functionary , under democratic regulations . We turn now to the consideration of your answers to , and explanation of , the Beveral matters embodied in the queries and observations of our last In accounting for the magnitude of the sum set down for postage , you say that " the cards have to be posted and prepaid " , aDd "that every five cards cost twopence . " We only know respecting this , that no cards have been prepaid to us : all the cards we bave received

      we have paid the carriage for . We can perceive no reason why this locality should be an exception to the geneial rule ; Bor-have you condescended to point us to any . If the cards generally have been ported and prepaid , we admit that this must have been expensive ; aad it is our duty to give a strong opinion that that expence ought not to have been incurred ; but that every locality should be made to do as we bave donepay for the carriage of its own cards out of its own funds . We can see no reason why we should pay for tbe transmission of our cards , and also for the transmission of sards to other localities .

      Ton state that you receive many letters unpiid . This certainly ought net to be ; and might very easily be pat a stop to . A single notice , reasonably worded , in any of the public documents of the Executive , p « inting out the felly and injustice of the practice , and declaring their resolution to receive no more unpaid letters , would at ps . ee end the practice of sending unpaid letters and give no offence to any body whosa temper and disposition are wonky vl being consulted . In reference to tbe postage of the other members of the Executive , we admit that the pre-paymeut of replies to applications for lecturing attendance ought not to fall on them ; neither do we think it ought to fall on the general funds of the Executive . Every such application ought to be accompanied with a postage stamp for tb . 6 payment of the answer ; each locality wcul-i tten be r fairly its own burden ; and if that practice be not generally attended to , it is the duty of the Executive to require that it should be .

      • You have not informed us how it happens that Messrs . Philp , M'Douall , and Williams seem , from the Balance Sheet , to have paid respectively the large sums of 10 s ., 19 s . 6 ± , and Or Sd . for postage during the first week of the quarter a > td nothing aflencaris . You do not tell us , though we asked , whether these gentlemen afterwards paid their own postage , or whether it was afterwards thrown together with that of the General Secretary , into one lump ; and , in either case , why an uniform , system was not observed . Your answer respecting the Philp resolutions is satisfactory . The question was very generally , and , we thick , very naturally , asked by our members ; and we shall have great pleasure in apprising them , on your authority , that the transmission of those resolutions was the act of Mr . Philp , at his own expence , and not of the Executive , at the expence of the country . In the former case it was perfectly justifiable ; in the latter it would bave been perfectly unjustifiable .

      Your-answer respecting " Dr . M'Douall ' s extra ten shillings a-week" , is no answer at all . If Dr . M'Douall has made such sacrifices for the people's cause as entitle him te claim special compensation , let his claim be put forward on its own merits . The eou try baa never bsen backward in remunerating deserving public servants . But whatever may have been his sacrifices , they form co justification of the manner in which this tea shillings a week has been paid and received out of public money , without any public vote and under disguised preteDsiens . When Dr . M'Douall became a candidate for the Executive , he knew the amount of salary he would have to receive ; and he knew , or ought to have Known , the law of the society , which allows no " agitating expencea" to members of the Executive , save when OTeakir . g up r . Ktc ground . The Doctor ' s residence in LonduD .-and employment during the whole quarter , as your iettcr intimates , in the Metropolitan districts , precludes any right on his part to charge to the

      Association one farthing for " agitating expences . " The regular weekly receipt , therefore , of Its . under this head , in addition to his salary , is ( gloss it how yon may ) an unauthorised and perfectly unwarrantable appropriation of public funds . And we should ill discharge our dnty as councillors of the Association , to permit so flagrant a violation cf its constitution to pass , without the strongest expression of censure to -which we are capable oi giving utterance . We are aware that ' * what is done cann « t bt undone" ; but we do hope that time past may suffice for tbe exhibition , in the Chartist Executive , of so very close an approximation to the worst features of Tory corruption and trickery . We tremble lor tbe consequences to the Association and the cause , should this piece of wanton jobbery be laid hold of and piiblidy exposed , by any members " of the Association , in this or any other locality , more warm and less prudent in their indignation than we are disposed to be .

      You are pleased strangely to misconstrue the tendency of our simp ' . e inquirf , as to the two items of railway and coach fare . We never dreamed of its being reasonable for the Executive to travel in the third class , " all weathers " . Tue information we wished for simply was : whether these items of expence were so iccurred as that the organ ' zition would warrant their being charged to the public , or whether they ought not to have been defrayed by some particular locality ? This information you have not communicated .

      Your ' hit' at the Hnll Chartists , in the matter of Mr . Leach ' s lecture , is a liltie beside the mask ! -Mr . Leach -did not come to lecture at Hull . He was passing through on his way to London , and merely gave us a lecture by way of filling up an evening that would have otherwise been unemployed . We have never yet had a lecturer coming here on our own invitation , the whole of whose expenses we have not cheerfully defrayed . We think your explanation respecting dates satisfactory . To conclude , we cannot reciprocate yoar opinion that , " if there has been a fault at all , it is being remarkably niggardly in the expenses . " We do not think

      that tbe expenses of the miiiionaira whe compose the anti-Corn Law League are suj criterisnatallby which to estimate the using of the hard-earned pence of Chartists . We think it is the duty of tbe Executive , as far as in them liea , to enforce th « observance of the rules of tbe organisation upon the whole society ; and at all event » to take care that all their own transactions be in strict accordance Tvith Uiew roles .. TFe think that vwttleftw contains abundant evidence and pbin acknowledgment that they bave not done ao ; and , therefore , though in our last letter we hinted neither " ( suspicion" nor censure" ., we cannot close this without telling yon that ycur answer to it lea-res n » room for " suspicion " , and tnfrrces on us the painful duty of reiterating "

      ceabu ' .-e" in the strongest terms . Trusting that we may not again find it necessary thu « freely and . hoE « 8 tly to express our opinions ; tbe ex-

      HAWORTH . —On Saturday evening last , at the house of Mr . Leighton , Temparanee Hetel , Ha worth , ilr . Dormand , of Nottingham , delivered a lecture on Total Abstinence . The attendance was very thin . We do not bo much wonder at this , because the majority of the people here are so far from indulging in intemperate drinking , that they are—through circumstances—compelled to abstain by far too much from eating . There ia , therefore , little cause for preaching np abstinenco either in eating or drinking ; for , in fact , abstinence is carried on to an intemperate degree . WIG AN . —The Chartists of Wigan have taken the roem adjoining the Waggon and Horses public house , bottom of Mi . lgate , where they will meet next Sunday ovening , for the purpose of electing a Council .

      SHEFFIEIiD . —CHABTISM—Mr . Edwin GUI addressed a respeotable audience on Sunday evening in the Fig Tree-lane Room . Mr . G . dwelt chiefly upon the rast increasing distress of the country , and the duty of the people . Mr . Evinson followed , delivering some appropriate and stirring remarks . Mr . West . — This sterliug champion of democracy and honest advocate of the people's rights , lectured in the above room on Monday evening . The room was well filled , and at eight o ' clock Mr . Dyson was called to the chair . The Chartist National anthem was then sung , after which the chairman delivered some excellent remarks , and concluded by introducing Mr . West , who wai received with loud ' demonstrations of applause Mr . W . mainly occupied the attention of his hearers by

      detailing his " prison experiences" —dwelling long on the iiupotency of prosecution ; and concluding with some masterly arguments in refutation of the sophisms and slanders brought to bear against Chartism . Mr . West ' s description of the hellish treatment he was surjscted to in the Derby torture-house was painfully sickening , and excited the strongest feelings of indignation in the breasts bf bis hearers ; one delightful portion of Mr . West ' s address was the reading of two letters from the Rev . Humphrey Price , received by Mr . West while in gaol . We wish Mr . West would publish those letters that tha working classes may know , and knowing

      appreciate , the virtues of this " honest priest , " who is indeed kd honour to the land that gave him bitth , one of the very few who dare to preach the truth and have tbe honesty to practice what they preach . At tbe conclusion of Mr . West's lecture , Mr . Harney moved a vote of thanks to the KjV . Mr . Price , and in th « course of a few remarks , warmly eulogised the rev . gentleman , Mr . Gill seconded the motion . Mr . George Wright , a native of Burton-upon-Trent , spoke in support of the motion , and drew a glowing picture of the character of this excellent man . The motion was carried unanimously . Thanks having been voted to the lecturer , the meeting broke up .

      BRADFORD . —On Sunday , Mr . Cltssett , of Millbriuge , preached two sermons in the Chartist room , Butter worth ' s-buildings . Collections were made for the Defenca Fund , wiiich amounted to sixteen shillings and three-halfpence . The CHARTiSTSof Daisy-hill met as usual at their room to consider of a proper person to recommend to the Council as candidate for tbe office of delegate ) to the Birmingham Conference . Tjie Chartists , of Bowling Back-lane , met on Sunday , and after some discussion , recommended the election of delegates to tbe Conference . They meet every Sunday morning at ten e ' clock . The Cuaktists of Manchester-road , met on Sunday morning , when , after arrangements being made for the election of delegates , they adjourned to Sunday next at nine o ' clock .

      The Chartists resident in the central part of Bradford , met on Sunday morning at the Council room , when several members were enrolled . They adjourned to Sunday morning next at ten o ' clock . The Members of the General Council met on Monday , in their room , Butterworth's-Buildlngs ; after arrangements were made for the election of delegates to tbe forthcoming Conference , Emanuel Hutton pail Is . 8 d . for the Defence Fund . The meeting adjourned to Monday evening , when the whole of the members of the Council are required to attend , and those persons having scarfs are requested to produce them at the council meeting .

      AT the Meeting of Chartists of Great Horton , numerously attended , the fallowing resolution was unanimously carried : — "That we the Chartists of Great-Horton , express our unabated confidence inDr . M'Douall for bis past services in the people ' s cause , and we are likewise of opinion that tbe weekly sum allowed by the plan of organization , to the members of the Executive while sitting , shonld be paid to his bereaved wife , to enable her , in some measure , to bear up under her present trying and painful situation . " NEWCASTLE . —Mr . Rigby . of Chorley , delivered a lecture in the Chartist Hall , Goat Inn , Cloth Market , on Sunday evening , on the principles of the People's Charter and the benefits that the working classes would derive by that document becoming the law of the land . Mr . R . told many truths respecting the Whigs and the Tories , and the Tyrannical system they have used every effort to maintain , and concluded by challenging

      any one to come forward and defend the present diabolical state of things , or show cause why industry should not bave its reward , while the drones of society live upon tbe fat of the land . He was prepared to prove that if the principles of the Charter were carried out , the people would thereby be enabled to ameliorate their own condition , and that no other system of reform now extant can remove tbe present unparalleled distress until the whole people are fully and fairly represented in the legislature of this country . Tbe spacious hall was densely crowded , but no person appeared disposed to dispute Mr . Rigby ' s position . Mr . Rigby was applauded throughout his whole discourne . A vote of thanks having been unanimously agreed to to Mr . Rigby for the able manner in which he defended the cause of the people , the meeting dispersed . Several names were enrolled after the lecture . Mr . William Kim pater Robson will lecture in the eauie hall on next Sunday ( to-morrow ) evening , at six o ' clock .

      The Chartists of Newcastle beld their weekly business meeting on Monday evening as usual . Mr . W . K . Robson in the chair . The minutes of the previous meeting b / . iving been confirmed , the Secretary read a letter from Mr . O Connor in reply to the letter which he was instructed on last meeting night to send to that ; gentleman . Mr Hebden appeared as one of a deputation appointed by the Chartists of Ousebum to enter into arrangements for the election of delegates to the forthcoming Conference in Birmingham . After some diBcussion on the . subject a deputation of four were

      elected to meet the deputation frem Ouseburn , and make tbe prelimi ary arrangements for the course to be pursued by the non-electors at the public meeting . After deposing of some local business the meeting ndjourned . There was two shillings received from Chartershaugh for the Defence Fund , per Wm . Wilson , and two shillings from Kadcliffe Terrace , per Mr , Dangley , fur the same . The adjourned meeting of delegates from the counties of Northumberland and Durham wil be resumed in the Chartists Hull , Newcastle , on Sunday December 4 th , at one o'clock in the afternoon .

      GLOSSOP . — Defeat of the League . —This pla ? e and the eurreunJing villages were placarded , signifying that Mr . Acland , the tool of the Coin Law League , would lecture at the Universal School , on Monday last , at seven o ' clock in the evening . Here I would remark , although this place was built by public subscription—the poor as well as tbe rich sobscribed—yet it is denied the former for holding any meetings in it that might tend to rouse them from their present degraded state . On this occasion some of the manufacturers stopped their mills at six o'clock , in order to have an opportunity of attending the lecture . The room waa pretty well filled , and here and there lickspittles were stationed , in order to watch who might be favourable to their views , or

      who might not , as most of them thought they had put Chartism down , when men ' s blood had been spilt , only for asking for a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work ; and by that party ., too , who say they are seeking for advancement ol their wages . Oh , but the people know too well this is all humbug . But to the question . Mr . Aciand rose to address the meeting ; and , as it is a well known fact , at the League meetings the lecturer acts as chairman and speaker , be was very kindly ask 6 d whether- he would , at the close of hi * lecture , allow discussion , or answer any questions that might be put to nisi * After some of his usual impertinence , ho gave the meeting to understand that he would . With this , understanding , the meeting allo-wed him- to proceed , and paid great attention , expecting to hear something advanced that might make them becoEsa Rvpealea : but they were -woefully mistaken .

      Many of his owji party went away disgusted with his arguments long before he came to a close ; and , when he saw the matting would no longer be gulled by him , he coolly bul them a good night . At this moment , Mr . Clark , of Stockpott , mounted one of the forms to address ti » meeting in reply , in order to show the fallacy ' of the League ; but Acland durst not stand the test , alleging that be had an engagement in Manchester . Yes * no doubt he bad , as I daresay tbe League had to conspire together to know how they must raise the £ 50 , 000 . However , they did not escape without a severe castigation from Mr . Clark , who was loudly applauded throughout his address . Mr . Clark challenged Mr . Acland to meet him anywhere , or at any time be thought fit . But , no ! be would not After three cheers for the Charter and O'Connor , the meeting dispersed , giving three groans for the League nnd AeteD < L—Correspo Kde 7 it ,

      HULL . —Defeat of thk League . —On Monday and Tuesday la « t , we were promised the "first fruits" of the £ 50 , 000 wraug from the sweat of the faotory children , in the shape of a visitation from Mr . Falvey , the celebrated League lecturer , and the Chartists put off their meeting on Monday night , to hear what new nostrums were about to bepropounded . At the close of the lecture , in which he retailed wholesale the fallacies of Acland and Co ., he was tackled , and tightly too , by Bairstow of the Executive . In half-an-hour poor Falvey had not a leg to stand on ; and at the close , challenged him boldly to a discussion on any following evening . But he had enough , far more than enough ! aud deolined the offer ; On Tuesday night , it being generally known

      that Bairstow remained in town , the Guild-hall was densely crowded . At the close of the lecture , which as usual treated upon every subject but the Cora Laws , up sprung Holliday , sub-secretary of the Charter Association , and moved , "that Mr . Webster , a well-known Chartist , do take the chair . " The proposition was seconded and put to the meeting ; at least a thousand hands were held up in favour , and only five against . Mr . Falvey protested , but protest was vain ! The " League men" bawled ; but their factious brawling was silenced by the thundering cheers of the triumphant Chartists . The hubbub lasted near half-an-hour , dnring which some of the respectables made off for the assistance of their free-trade allies—the policemen . The blue

      bottles arrived , and listened , apparently not ill pleased , to Falvey ' s receiving , at the' hands of his opponent , one of the most effectual thrashings ho or any other man ever met with , or in all likelihood ever will . Bairstow demolished , in terms of thrilling eloquence , every subterfuge behind which his opponent had taken shelter ; shewed horr the traders had grown rich at the expence of the poor , and summed up by pourtraying , in glowing colours , the avaricious , grinding , selfish nature of those who would now make us believe that they were actuated in this matter solely by feelings of philanthropy and humanity . Prior to breaking up , ire bad three hearty cheers for the Charter , three for Bairstow , and three magnificent groans for the anti-Corn Law League .

      BIRMINGHAM . —SrEELHor 7 SELAN £ Meeting . — The usual meeting of Chartists took place at the Ship Inn , Steelhouse-lane , on Tuesday evening last , Mr . John Newhouse in the chair . Mr . Ernes delivered a very clear , manly , and most affectionate address on the " Moral and physical capabilities of man , " and was warmly applauded . A Jong and interesting conversation was held on the necessity of supporting Mr . Joseph Linney , when Mr . G . White and others bore testimony to the straightforward conduct and sterling worth of Mr . Linney . A subscription was entered into for that purpose which will be continued . A discussion was then commenced on the manner in which the funds of

      the National Charter Association had been misappropriated by the Executive ; Beveral were for passing a voto on the occasion , but it was ultimately deferred to the following Tuesday , in order to allow all who felt interested m the matter to express their sentiments . The sub-seoretary , Mr . David Potts , then called the attention of the meeting to the election of members to the General Council , which , according to the plan of organization , should take place in the beginning of December , and on . the motion of Mr . A . Fussell , it was resolved to give a week ' s notice to the members of that locality in order that all might have a fair chance of voting . After the usual routine business was disposed of , the meeting separated .

      The Patriot ' ' Convict Ellis . —The sorrowing , and heart-broken wife , or more properly , widow , of poor Eilis , arrived here this evening -from Eurslem , on her way to Portsmouth , to take her farewell of her beloved , and noble-minded husband , who is now on board a transport ship , about to bid adieu to his dear wife and children . Previous-to'h er departure by coach to London , Mrs . Ellis read several of her husband ' s letters to the Chartists present at Mr . Follows , in MonmoutLi-street , where she was staying , the endearing , ( patriotic , rand self-denying sentiment of which , together with the sobs of his wife , caused tears to Sow from the eyes of all present . In one of them he states that he had been employed with others as a labourer , and compelled to work with a number of bad characters , in a convict dress , and with seven pounds' weight Of chains on his legs . In his last letter , written from

      the convict ship , he requests to be supplied with some books and . money , against the voyage ; and as there was no time to be lost . Messrs .. White , Follows . and Horsley , determined to request Mr . Cleave to supply the wants of Mr . Ellis pui of the money he held , and pledged themselves on behalf of the Birmingham Chartists to make it good , in case the Chartist body objected to it . _ Every possible assistance was rendered Mrs . Ellis by those who were brought together during her short sojourn , and Mr . George White attended her to the coach office , and saw her safely placed in the inside of the London coach . It ought to be here mentioned that Mr . Lowe , bvother-in-law of Mr . Benjamin D . a ' nks of Wednesbury has kindly consented to take charge of Mrs . Ellis ' s eldest girl , and from his well-known kind disposition , there is no doubt the child will be well attended to .

      PBTERBORO . '—The Chartists of-Peterboro' and Eye met on Monday evening , at the houp , e of Mr . Marklin , when one of the topios for the consideration of the meeting was the disinterested conduct of that noble patriot , Mr . Hames , of Oundle , who travelled at hisown expence , to Leicester and to London , as bail for Mr . Cooper and Mr . Jones , besides inumerable other benevolent aota . Mr . Taylor moved , and Mr . Marklin seconded , "A vote of thanks to that honourable gentleman foe bis praiseworthy conduct , and may he long live t * defend tbe rights of the poor . "

      NORTHAMPTON . —At a weekly meeting of the Chartists of this place , held on Tuesday night , it was resolved , "That tbe thanks of this meeting be giventoMr . Hamea . of Oundlo , for his readiness at all times to serve the cause of Chartism , and more especially in his coming forward almost unsolicited to give bail for those unflinching and indefatigable Sa triots , Messrs .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . My dear Hill , —There is one conviction of my mind which I cannot refrain from expressing publicly , that I owe the bappy fact of my escape from transpartation , almost entirely to tbe intelligence and fidelity tjf Mr . Williams and Mr . Roberts , my attornies , in so urgently advising-me to make a desperate straggle towards obtaining a jury , of which not one member had been engaged in a previous trial during the Special Commission . Poor El is , more than once during our three hours companionship ' iu the " glory-hole , " expressed a passionate regret that be had not been advised also to sua for a separate trial . " Yet , " he always added , ' who could possibly have thought , even when I was mixed up in trial with twenty others , they could have returned me ' guilty , ' on such evidence !"

      And who , on earth , could have thought it ? The verdict came like a thunderbolt upon our attornies t this I can testify , both from conversations I had with them previous to Ellis' trial , when they each spoke of bis acquittal as a certainty—and from the consternation with which they both alluded to tbe horrid verdict , after it had been given . Fully , aware of tho rabidly revengeful state of mind which pervaded the aristocracy on each side the Judge , —the Jury in their box , —and the " exclusive ? " who are permitted to become spectators in the court , —our attornies strove , — from the commencement of the trials up to . the day in which I was summoned into caurt with seventeen others , as "incendiaries , "—to appease our persecutors by a respectful mode of procedure , dreading that any resort to a more spirited policy might subject the poor victims to summary vengeance .

      When the shameful' verdict against William Ellis , however , made it openly manifest that no courtesy could allay the brutal spirit of our persecutors , our attornies came at once to a strong resolution . " They can but do their worst , " said Roberts to me , " and since they have evinced ao vengeful a disposition already , their eternal verdict being ' guilty , ' your only chance of a fair trial lies in procuring an entirely new jury . Now , remember , " said he to me in conclusion , "youcan have a fresh jury if you sue determined to have one . " " Then depend upon it , I will , "l answered . Mr . Williams was equally urgent on this point . The process of " challenging , " as it is called , and other delays occupied the court for an hour , bob that hoar was well spent , inasmuch as it isaaed in seating in tbe j ary . box , twelve men , not one of whom had previously served on a jury

      during the Special Commission . These men did not , like their predecessors , seem to take it as a matter « f course that they were to find everything " guilty" that stood in the dock , and was called "the prisoner " by the wily Sir Win . Follett ; and when told by the upright lawyer , though severe judge , Sir Nicholas Tindal , that they could not find me " guilty" —why , they could not take it into their heads to do it , and so I escaped . To conclude as I began , I feel certain that my fate would have been as hapless as that of poor Ellis , nay , perhaps , worse , bad not my attornies advised mo to press for a separate trial ; for it is no secret that the Tories were-frequently , dnring the weeks preceding our trials , betting bottles of port , in the parlours of tbe inns at Hanley , Bunlera and Lane-end , that Cooper and Ellie would , one or both , be bung , and Capper and Robinson transported for life !

      Thank God ! Although poor injured Ellis has been so horridly victimised , and aged Capper is immured for two years , in addition to having his goods seised for neglecting some legal foim—yet Robinson has wholly escaped his brutal enemies , while I am delivered from the horrors of transportation , and have yet a chance aft least , though it may be a sligbtone , for establishing my innocence of the remaining "high crimes and miade meanours" with which I stand charged , I am , my dear Hill , Very affectionately yours , : Thomas Coopeb .

      P . 8 . —Wy attorney , Mr . Williams , informs me that he has caused the proper plea , "Not Guilty , " to be filed for me in the Queen ' * Bench , whither I was died to appear on the 30 th instant—my case having been removed into that court by writ of oerliorari , like the Liverpool casti

      COPT OF THE THIRD LETTER TO ME . CAMPBELL . Hull , Nov . 14 ' . 1842 . SIB , —1 am instruc' : d by the couecU lore resident in Hull , to express their regret that so little attention should havB fcasn paid by the Executive to their previous communications upon the subject of the expenditure , and the loose , indefinite wording of the balance shest . We ventured last quarter to give to the Executive some general intimations of what , in our opinion , a balance sheet ought to be ; and we also took the liberty of drawing your attention to some matters in the last Balance Sheet , which plainly shewed that the rules of tbe organization bad been most flagrantly and wantonly outraged and set aside by tha Executive . We were willing to believe that the Executive were honest and well principled , that their a " . nations from

      the strict line of their official duties had resulted rather from inattention to the roles of the organisation by which tbeyare bound , than from any purpose to set themselves above rule , and to manage the uffuirs and funds of the Association " on their own responsibility ! ' We did not , therefore , litre our brethren in some other places , make public our very just disapprobation of several transactions to which our attention was directed by the bald and meagre statements of the last Balance Sheet ; nor did we take any public notice of the most slovenly and unbusiness like way in which that Balance Sheet proved tbe account of the Association to have been kept ; and in which we regret te say they have always bstn kept

      We gave tho Executive credit for honesty . We were willing to make due allowance for the ntcesiary want of familiarity with the affairs of business induced by their previous occupations . We hoped that experience would make them more uu / ail in business matters ; and that respectful private admonition would educe from them more deference to the laws of the Association than they had heretofore paid . We have expected this more confidently , because we had the pledge not only of yourself , but of other members of tbe Executive , that our admonition should receive due attention , and that the mal-practices of w , hich we complained should be discontinued . We grieve to find ourselves disappointed . Another Balance Sheet has been issued , which , upon examination , we find may well vie Wilh any of its predtceasora for vaguentsa end ambiguity ; and which , vague and meagre as it is , affords evidence that not only our requirements , but tho&u of ihe o ; ganizition , have been utterly cocteruned .

      The only items in the Balance Sheet now published regarding which distinctive information ia accorded , as to tbe exact purpose of appropriation , are the " wages " of the Executive , and the priuting of cards ; all the rest are ltft floating in the like mist of uncertainty which has characterized preceding Balance Sheets ; and we are again compelled therefore to apply to you for distinctive information upon matters which it is your duty to make plain to us and the countty . We trust that we may be more successful in this application than in our last . We find scattered over the Balance Sheet various items , to the number of eleven and to the amount of twenty three pounds ten shillings , charged for travelling expences for different membra of the Executive ; to not one of which is a syllable of information appended as to the object er purport of the journeys thus charged for .

      Officially , as councillors , we require 70 a , Sir , as our Secretary , to inform us respecting each of these items ; on what business and on whose authority the journeys for which they are charged was undertaken , and also under which of the regulations of the organization tbe country are thus charged at all for the journeys of these gentlemen . Thus mnch of ii-formation in regard to tbe jeneral item of "travelling expencts . " every member of the Association is entitled to demand from you ; and on behalf of the member * resident in Hull , we require it Mind , Sir , let us have no more misconstructions ! We do not at present make any charge against yoatself or any other member of tbe Executive , for causing any journey to be more expensive than it might have been : that may or may not form the subject of future remark . We do not at present say that all thesa journeys are not rightly charged to tbe Association . Upon that sn ! ject we say nothing now . The plain question is , upon what bnsiness were these respective journeys

      undertaken ? by whom were they authorised ? and under what rule of the Association are tbey charged to tbe country ? To those matters you will please to address your reply , in regard to each and every one of them . Subsidiary to the above general inquiry , we wish also to ask how it happens that a serious difference of cost appears to have been ineurred by the same gentleman in travelling over the same ground at different periods . Under date July 6 th . we 8 nd , " Travelling from Bristol to Manchester , £ 1 18 s . 6 J . " Again , under date Angnst 6 th , " Bairstow's expences to BriEtol from Manchester , £ 2 16 s 6 d ; " and again , under date August 20 th , " Bairstow from Bristol to Manchester , £ 2 2 s . " Our members make many comments upon this discrepancy . We think this of far less moment than a satisfactory answer to our general enquiry ; yet , assuming that the journeys have been performed in pursuance of the rules of the organization , it ought certainly to be reconciled .

      We again draw your attention to the item " agitating expences . " We find this item to occur Stven times , involving an amount of £ 10 16 s 6 d . We rtquire to be informed in reference to each of these seven distinct charges , fer what " new district" the expences thereby indicated were incurred . We need not , of course , tell you that the salary , or as you like to call it , the " wages" of each member of the Executive ( save the Secretary ) is distinctly specified in the organization to be £ l 10 s . weekly , uhen sitting , and that when not sitting they bave no claim for wages ,

      unless employed as lecturers ; and then to br paid cut of the general funds only when opening new districts . Of course you , whose duty it is to instruct every Sub-Secratary in all the minutiae of tho organization , know all this ; we do not , therefore , presume to give it as information t © you ; but we advert to it for the purpose of calling your attention to the fact , that in tbe balance sheet now published , Dr M'Douall's wages are for the most part of the qnarter put down regularly at £ 2 per T > etk . We rtquire to know upon what authority the Execative have made this deviation . from the plain printed rules of tte Association .

      There are various other matters on which it may be our duty to trouble you with ecquiries hereafter . For the present we submit to you tbese , in Ihe confident expectation that tiiey will mtet with prompt attention . We have endeavoured to niase them so plain that we think they cannot be easily misunderstood—so perspicuous , that we hope they leave no room for a repetition of your complaint about " suspicions , " and so respectfully worded as shall give us a right to expect from you a courteous reply ; while at the same time they are so pointed , that we trust they will furnish no pretext for digression ; but that you will confine your reply strictly to the matters and . things on which we seek information , and that no one of these will be overlooked .

      Without any desire to school you in your duty , we cannot pass by the performance of our own ; which compels us to remind yon that a Secretary should be a man of business—that his accounts should be clear and nnambigneus , and his correspondence precise and definite and yet perspicuous and comprehensive ; and to express our fcope that in these matters vre may hereafter have fewer and less causes for that " cecsme" ol which your former co ; reapondence evinces much impatience . Sincerely regretting , Sir , that there shonld be a necessity for us vLus to write to you . We are , in the performance of our dnty , With all due respect , The general councillors of the National Charter Association , resident in Huil . Signed on behalf of the whole , W . J . Hollidav ., Sub-Secretary . To this letter no reply has been received .
