Murrey was called to tbe chair , who opened the meeting "wi-. h a few remarks upon tbe present position of the Chartist movement , and istrc <" . uced Mr . C . I > > jle to the meeting . Mr . C Dr-le delivered an interesting and instructive lecture and vras repeatedly cheered Try tbe audience . Iu the ereai n ^ , on the motion of . Mr Slight , Mr . Murrey was again called to preside . Mr . Mumy thacked the mettirg for the honour they had conferred upon him by c ^ ili :: 2 him to preside over so large acd respectable 3 meeting of his fellow townsmen as the present , at Th * s-iTii *? time he wcuM much rather some nun tmotf

      comptter . t than himself had been ca'lsri to fill the chair . But there was one observation which he would make , and that was , that to be a chairman of a Chartist meeting "sraa to bare a siceenre offi . ee , with this exception , there vras no pension attached to it Without taking up any more of their time he "would introduce their old friend , Mr . Janits Leach . Mr . Leach rose amid the plaudits of the vast assembly , and said that he supposed they "were in high spirits and full of glee nt hearng the news of peace with China , and in the tsr .-ectaf . on of being made rich out of tbe money that we were to have : rom that inoffensive people , for giving over murdering them ; and , according to the press , to be msde doubly rich by an increase of our tr ^ de with that country . The papers wera now teemir . sr with our glcricus victories over e people that never

      ktew how te ncht , a people that were not Li possessius of such instruments of torture and destruction as we are , Mr . Leach then read some extracts from Hobson ' s Poor Han ' s Coinpiuion , which showed what the game of war hs . d cm the people of this country , and also showed up from tbe same scurce the falkcy of the people ever beicg beoeSlt-sd by the txtensioa of commerce . Mr . Leach delivired an instructive &ud interesting lecture , at tbe conclusion of which hv called the atuntion -of the meeting to tbe articles that had a » - peared in vhe papers , by saying that doubtless they hid read the articles in the Star , of the last and the present week concerning the Executive . He , with the other numbers of that body , were branded as political jobbers . He ( Mr . Leachi was sure that those tb . it knew him would at least give him credit

      for not bring one who evvr made a jobbing concer ; i of the people ' s cause . But the sum av . d subst . nee oi this :: tt : ; uk upon the Executive was a deadly thrust at the p .- >; : tical character of Dr . M'Djual : ; but if the Doctor was here , he would not require his < Mr . Lraca ' si def : nce , f .. > r he could defend himself ; but it was too bad to attack him when ha was in exile for the people ' scause , as- ? Le hoped that the working men of Englind would tot say a word upon the matter until he was here to defrcd htmself , and it wocld net be lone before he was amorjgst them again for thst purpose , aud u-. m tti&t time he hnped they would be siKut The Dr-ctcr aeserred this at the hands of the prople , for wh > m he bsd suff Ted so much . He iMr . Lrach ) "Was wdl acquainted with Dr . M'Djuail , both publicly and

      privately , and there was not a more honest m :. a in existence . He ( Mr . Leach ; knew him when he kept as good a horse as any man in Lancashire , and he had known hiia without sixpence in his peckes or a coat to bis back . He had known him when he had not a dinner for himself or his wife and child , and he ever found lum the same undaunted advocate of the People ' s rights . As for myseif and the charge of political jobbing , I will defend myself in the proper ^ carte r . Not that I consider myself competent to write » n articl * in a newspaper , bat I will challenge my calumniator to meet me before the people , if 1 travel wltfcoat shoes to Leeds for that purpose . Three years ago he ( Mr . Leach ) worked in a factory not more than three ston « s throw from the place where he

      . j stood . At that time he and hu family were ' letting on an average Sfty shillings per weefe , and : he lost that sitnation for dating to expose the ! Factory System in that very room . It was cot ! for himself that he was then working , but for those poor creatures that were wcrking for six and , eeven shiliii . gs per week . Mr . Ltach then said , there was a great deal of noise about the shop that be kept- It I never 'was a pound of his money that put him in that

      shop ; to . it was his friends who gar * him a smill sum to start wi ' . h . and others lent him the money ; some of which he had paid back , and some he bad yet to triy . It was n- - > t from whvt he hsd made out of the Chartist agitation that he commenced business . Others Riid thst be got the money out cf the dirty Whigs , ard more , that it came from bribes from tbe Tories . He 1 Mr . Leach ) thought it bad enongh to find the who'e of the Whij ana Tory press giving unfair reports , and h . unfiing th- - G . ^ Vernmrnt upon them ; bu t wbtn their o ~ e friends adopted the same line of policy , he thought it was tvO bad . Mr . L ? ach then said , that there was noi a town in the county but he had visited ; and tbe people would bear him cut in the statement be was eoi g to rnr . ie . When th ' . j gave him money he gave thtm it back , and rather than put them to the 6 Xpcr . ee cf ending lodirigs , ha waiked horns in the wet . Mr . Loch then said , bis conduct was before them , ar . d he

      Wuuid leave it with them to judge how far he was deserving if the title of a paltry politician . He hopew t . at the people wculd avoid dissensions uoti bickerrE ^ s tltat are tearing us asunder ; by doing so they carry terror i : to the enemies camp . If , on the other h ^ nd , thsy allowed tbtHuelves tu be split up into sections they would becoaia an easy prey to their oppressors , vhc ? e motto was divide and conquer . Mr .

      Case of Mr . Arthl'R .. —It appears that , thongh this ger . tift ^ ian escaped Tvheu 'examined before the mac ; e trates 01 Mcnthestcr , in consequence of the miscreant Griffin not beJDij able to itlentify him ; yet his name was jjjc / uded in the " Trne Bill" found by tbe # rand Jury at Liverpool , during the sitting of the special comm : ssi .. n theTe ; so that a bench warrant was issued for his rpprtbeiisiun , thoush not put into execution , in consequence of tbe cases being removed to the Court of Queen ' s Bench . Mr . Arthur , anxiou 3 to give himself up , wrote to Mr . Mauls , solicitor to the crown , espressinc his determination to give himself up , or procure sufficient snd satisfactory bailforhisappearar . ee . In to

      atis ^ rer this application , a letter was sent by Messrs Grppory and Sor < s : to Mr . George Gill Mounsey , late mayor of the borough , to the effect that a bench warrant was incloEea for Mr . Arthur ' s apprehension , but if an appearance W 3 S immediately put in for him by his clerk in London , the bail would be waived altogether . Tips has all been complied with , so that Mr . Arthur is now at liberty ur . til the assizes , when we fear not , should be called upon , that he will , with all others involved hi the same charge , be honourably acquitted : for we cannot conceive that a jury of virtuous , honest men , can possibly Snd men guilty on such paltry evidence .

      The General Defence fund . —We understand that many aud treit exertions have been made here and by the adjoining districts to aid in this n ? cessary and laudable undertaking ; and we have ' no doubt , if these exertions are continued , that Carlisle and neighfcourho"d , will staud , as it has hitherto done , proudly pre-eminent in tbe good work . While we make these observations , we would respectfully suggest to the present C' -uucil of the Chartist Association , the necessity of still further expending their labours ; for we know of many persons who are good Chartists at heart , though they do nut come forward at public meetings , who are not only willing , but most anxious to assist in a pecuniary point of view , in supporting thos 9 persons who are at present involved in prosecutions for the part

      they have taken in endeavouring to forward the cause of the working classes of this country . Let collectors be appointed for each district of the town , to call upon the shopkeepers and higher classes , who are at ail favourable to the cauBe , and we have no douot but a very considerable sum might speedily be raised . Sixpence or a sbi iin ^ is less ts a middle class man than a penny to a poor hand-loom weaver . Remember thnt on a former occasion , about twelva persons collected upwards of twenty pounds amongst this very sama class to whom we have been alluding , in ONE day . Let the collectors thus appointed be sober , discreet , and well-behaved persons , who are generally respected , and we have no fear of a much larger sum being secured in this -way in one day , thaa would be otherwise procured by the ordinary means in three months .

      SHEFFIELD . ELECTION OF DELEGATES TO THENATIONAL CONFERENCE . A meeting was held on Thursday last , in Paradiseeqiiare , for the election of delegates to the National Conference , summoned to assemble in ^ tirmingham on the 27 th of December next . A requisition "was presented ta the Master Cutler last Frida ^ , requesting him to call . 'the . meeting ,-nnd ; that functionary declining to do so , the reqaisitionists proceeded to call the meetii g theihaelves . Placards , of which tho followino ; is a copy , w ^ re extensively posted on Satui day evening , announcing the meeting .

      TO THE MASTER CUTLER . Sir , —We , the undersigned inhabitant householders of Sheffield do request you to convene a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough at an early day ,: for the purpose of electing delegates to a Conference called by the Council of the Complete 'Suffrage Union , to be held in Birmingham on the 27 th of December next , to prepare a bill to be submitted to the legislature , embodying the principles and necessary details of a full , fvee , and fair representation of tho people in the Commons House of Parliament ; and to determine who sliaH be requested to introduce such bill into the House of Commons : and , also , to dispose of other business intended to be submitted to the consideration of snch Conference . ( Here followed the names of twenty-or . o househo ' liiers . )

      " The Master Cutler having declined to call a meeting , —Wo tho re % uisitionists do hereby summon such a public meeting ' . to'be holden in Paradise-square , on Thursday next , November 24 th , at twelve o ' clock at noon . " Sbiffield . Nov . 19 , 1842 . " It will be seen by the above that not the least party tinge was given to the meeting , and that every instruction of the Complete Su . fFr . jge Council was strictly complied with in tbe calling of the meeting . The hour was that at which a similar meeting had previously been held at Birmingham : the place of meeting , calculated as it is to hold above twenty thousand persons cuuid

      not be packed ; above four ( nearly five ) days ckar notice of the meeting was given , all was done open and above-board ; yet with characteristic modesty the "Complete Suffragists" decided a , t their meeting on -Tuesday evening , to have nothing' to do with the proceedings , because foisoolh they ( the wiseacres ) had not been consulted previous to the calling of the meeting ; further they bad the impudence to issue and post round the town , bills informing the people that any delegates tlial lniuht be elected , would not represent " chfcit interests and opinons ! " For the edification of our readers we give the following copy of the said notice : —

      COMPLETE SUFFRAGE .

Hhodes , Chairman . Assembly Rooms , Nov . 21 , 1842 . Of course the requisitionssts who had summoned the meeting , treated tbe above precious document with tbe contempt it and its authors dwerved , and at thu hour stated in the placard the proceedings commenced by Mr . Geo . Wright , a working man , one of the requisitionists , being , on the moiion of Mr . Harney , seconded by Mr . Dyson , unanimously elected to the chair .

      . The Chaiaman read the requisition calling tbe meeting , and the object , and business for which the Conference was convened ; and after a few remarks , called on Mr . Evinson to move the following resolution : — " That in compliance with the address of the Complete Suffrace Union , calling a Conference to be held at Biiniingbain on the 27 th of December , 1 S 42 , we do here-y elect four delegates to represent the town of Sheffield in the said forthcoming Conference . " Mr . Pike seconded the resolution , which was adopted unanimously . Mr . Edwin Gill , seeonded by Mr . Hoole , moved the next resolution ., which Was also unanimously adopted . Form of Election . —The candidates shall be separately nominated and seconded . The Chairman ,- after each nomination , shall inquire whether there be any other candidate .

      When all tbe candidates have been nominated , the names Bhall be taken from a hat , and in the order they are taken out , shall be put to the meeting . The candidates who are rejected shall be struck off the list . ' .- . ' ¦ The Chairman shall repeat the same process of putting the names until only four delegates remain upon the liat , who shall be forthwith declared duly elected . . Mr Harney , seconded by Mr .

      CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE HULL CHARTISTS AND THE HULL CORN LAW LEAGUE .

      TO THE CITARTIST COUr-XIL . Gentlemen , —Yimrs of the 7 th arrived last night ; and I bfcf ? to observe that you sadly mistake the nature of your public duty , if you imagine that it -justifies your neglect of that courtesy , -which is lecsgE'Zid in ail civilized intercourse . With this remark , I shall dismiss all your irrelevant matter and Bcurrilous language . Yon quote certain notes of your reporter as confirmation of your view of the subject for discussion . Iu the Evening Slur , Oe !\ 27 tb , is a report of Mr . Beeslty ' s sptecb ; and tliertin be is said to bave stntird , " Le was there to prove that a repeal of the Corn Liws wu ' uid nbt ben-.-fit tbe p-iople . " There ia no qua'ific ition whatever to the proposition . This report was , ( T hava been infotuitd by one of your friends ) probably drawn np by your reporter . Whether or not , it f . ffor ; ls b ' videccB by a third ' p . irty connected with you ; and which I place in oppo 3 ' . t ; on ,. to tbee / ideEce of the notes of your reporter .

      Thnt a reper . l of the Corn Laws Wfjuld not benefit the operative classes without any quaiijicaiion , is , evidently , the opinion of Mr . Bcesley . He maintained ( see tb > ± Evening Slur £ Oct . 27 . ) that the United Kingdom could be ma «' e to produce U-u times as much corn as it does at present ; and , rs a duclamr . ' . or ' y climax , to give eSVct to his argument , I fiiul in reference to ray notes , tb ; tt he exclrtinied , " What care we for being driven from the markets of the icorld 1 " The correctness , therefore , of my apprehension of the prop ^ s ' ilion , remains undisturbed . Your unwillingness to abide by the proposition , os stated in my first letter , is a tach r . dmissicn of i ' s soundness . The truth of this proposition being admitted , all that I contend for ia crautec ! .

      As you appear su angry with ' me , and as f . his is rny last coniii > unic : ction to you on the suVj ^ ct , I will te !! you the secret of iny wish to make both him and your ] lecturer keep to the question . I was present at the public debate in the Shambles between Mr . Jonia acd Air . FalTuy ; and I perceived that Mr . J . would not , except in one instance , a mere glance , approach tbe question for debate , notwithstanding the repeated cal ' s of Mr . F . for him to do so . Moreover , as an attempt lias been made to shew , that J misunderstood every i thing "which I adverted to in reply to Mr . B ., I am de-1 termined that both Mr . B . and myself shall be so ' placed , that any deviation from , tbe subject can be instantly checked .

      Yon have , I am informed ( for I have not seen the Northern Star ) published , before it is finished , contrary \ to all usage and courtesy , our correspondence , as far as it has been carried en before . Bad you go friend in the camp to apprize you of the impropriety ? j I leave now to tbe impartial reader to determine , j whether I have paid you mor 6 attention than the nn- 1 courteous and ungentlemanly style of your correspondence deserves . I ascribe this to your want of eipe- 1 rience , as you disclaim all intention of personal offence . ; I remain , Gentlemen , i A weil wisher to trade and commerce , R . FlUTH . Hull , Nov . Oth , 1842 .

      N . B . I should have add-. d that you misapprehend my silence on your other ccn-iitious . After the receipt of your last letttr , I tbought it necessaryto settle tht subject for debate the first .

      CHRISTMAS BOXES FOR THE VICTIMS AKD NATIONAL DEFENCE FUND . ; Bkotjiek Chaktists , —Nearly another year ia past ; still we se « tyranny in all its hu ? e forms with the grasping hand of selfishness , still determine'l to oppress and enslave tbe toiling millions of this country , and bring those who are not yet brought down to a state of beggary . How much longer this infernal system is to remain it is for you to decide . Talking about it won't do ; tbeu vre must buckle on eke armour , and prspare ourselves for the fiood work . Wo have another year nearly at > . and ; then let ua muke it truly what it ought to bo—the happy new . yu . ir . Let us att about it in ri ^ ht earnes t ; and as a working man who baa to toil fourteen hours a day , to drac ; out a miserable existence ,

      I will suggest to others what I intend to du myaelf . Christmas is a time when most of the working classes t . ike . i holiday ; then let us turn th : tfc holiday to the best account ; 1 st us show our tyrants we are determined to take every advantage of every circumstance ; and that W 8 are bent upon having our freedom . Then let every Chartist go a Christmas boxing in behalf of the Victims' and Defence Fund . We see placemen , pensioners , churchmen , policemen , beadles , and all the other black beetles and leeches , who are sucking the hearts' blood of society , going a Christmas boxing . Surely , What is good for the goose is good for the gandor . Let . as go and appear on behalf of the wive 3 and fumUies of those noble-minded men who have so no' > iy siood forward to advocate the cause of suffering bunfanity .

      My brother Chartist , Sims , and myself , have detcrliiined to devote Christmas Day and boxing day to this noble work . We have put down sixpence each for example ; let every man who calls himself a Chartist do likewise , or riiore if he can sfi \> rd it . Let no man say he ca ; : not . 'ifford , while he can throw away sixpence for that accursed hog-irash which only fills tha enemy's exchequer , ar . d buys bullets and bayonets for the pression of freedom all over the world . Let every two Chnrtists throughout England , Ireland , and Scotland , do this , here is a sum of money at once . Lot every

      locality get collecting boxes , marshal the men in twos , as two can go about the work better than one ; but let every man , who has half a dozin acquaintances , get a collector ' s book , signed by tho committee of his locality , authorising him as a collector . Tbe man that won't do this is a poor Chartist indeed , when ha knows there are sixty nobles of nature that have to tike their trials . Many bavo families thrown upon the wide world unprotected , scoffed at by the upper classes , and neglected by all those who should befriend them .

      Brother Chartists , money is the sinewq of war , and if that is not forthcoming , to all intents and purposes mRny of these will have to share tho fate of poor Ellis . Poor Eiiis ! after being proved innocent was banished from his native ; land . I thiok I see him standby on the vessel ' s deck , with the tean streaming down his manly cheeks , torn from the wife of his affection , torn from the children of their loves , torn from everything thnt was dear to him ; haloi . ksback for his native land , but in vain ; ha sees nothing but the briny ocean ; he bas lost evtryLppe ; he sinks in despair , aod ia heard of no more .

      Think on these , Iro-her Chartists , and aay , shall we pp-jhd our Christmas in idleness ? I think I hear yon Eny no . Then get yourselves in reidiness ; get smill collecting boxes , they are always handy . Go to tbe shopkeepers ; go to all classes of ¦ Reformer ' s ; gaevtrywbf-re were you think tb ' . re is a pecny to be got . Let \ . o \ differences in politics baulit tbe pnerous mind . Appeal on behalf of suffering humanity ; . let every CburtUt wbo has a wjfe ask Iier to go to the shopkeeper , wbtre a ho deals , with the collection book . Let the females go about the work , and suixexa is certain . Go to your concerts and balls , at night , in behalf of the victims ; no trusting to one another . Lt't every man go about the w . > rk .

      1 shall take the Charter in my hand , and any body that complains of , ignorance I shall endeavour to sell it to them for one penny , the profits to go to the Victim Fund . Lst every good Chartist do the same . Remember Christmas D » y cornea on a Sunday ; get your boxes and men Beiected a week previous . Let every lecturer impress this on the mind of his audience . If Corn Law repealers can raise fifty thousand pounds , Chartirts can do the same j where there is a will there ia alwaya a way . n Paine has Baid , " for a nation to be free Bhe must will it , " and he that wouldibe . free himself muat st rike tba blow .

' ¦¦'¦¦'¦ , : Sir , —We have received your last , and regret to find that you pLrsist in repudiating the credit we had givsn you for a honest purpose to abide fairly the result of the contest you bad sought . In reference to the Ussoti yon sre pleased to condescend us , at the comr . ieiicement of your letter , abou t ;'' mistaking the cature of our public duty , ' " neg ! eek of courtesy , " aiul " scurrillous li-. iguige , " we h ^ ve only

      to observe -hat our emit ivour has b-en to i \ iaimain a riiid adheronse to nil tba courtesies of civil z . 'd society . : If our correspondence , though respectfully worded , i hais been somewhat ucflitteriDg in its tone , the I reason may be found , not in our disposition to be offen' sive ,. much Kss scurrillous , but in tha inaf . er and ex-; prejsiou of your own letters , in which we laniea : the tshihition \> t so much itrascibiiity , camVined with a ; seemingly st ' niUesi t-lfensivencss of vbra < e , as sr . tV ? Si 8 us tor .:, however dt £ c' : eit we may be in tbo c-ur ^ esiea o £ i public ci'rrespoudcuco . yours is not tbe school in wliicb to learn tham .

      We are not aware of any ' . rreLvin' matter " . n curlist , ¦ ave such remarks as Wt > ra criilei for by yours of tha 3 rd ; and if you are pleased to intro ' . uca nir . t ' ter irrei-. vant to tbe question ,-you muu bear with us if we take the trowblo'to rep'iy . ¦ You . s-rera sensible cf the dilsmma in which you bave put yourself ; nor are " ! ve . bli . d tt > it ; but . however much we may sympathise with you , our " public \ iu t >" vrill not allow us to permit you to escape .-it scatliU'ss You ha 7 t-acj-p' . evl our cballtsigt * , ' . a : ; iV n ; ust abiJe tho consequences of . your act . The sbewiii ; : of your present lotter proves that yen accepted it in our terms anil not in those by which you cov seek to substitute them ; aiid you must not tkpeat to " ^ rricgle out of it by clog ^ inj tin 1 question' with sucb ' ¦ Iimitati'ins" and " qualification-s" as you may tl-. ink proper .

      1 ou quote tbe Ey : nr , i / Star of Oct 27 , to show that Mr . Betyi ^ y i 3 of opinion that "A fepial of the Corn La * 3 ttouI-. I not bciK-ct the people ; " and you add that ' ¦ there is no qaaliSc . uicm wlin ' -ever to the propositiou . " You Ei « -J not bavo ^ oue so far for priof . Wv were qiita willing to admit that that was his opinion , and quitu prepared-to maintain that he is correct in holding' -tint opinion ; and the only thing that we insist is , that there shall be " no qualiQcation whatever to the proposition . " Our last letter mi >; hvbavs sufficiently apprised you of all this , But what are the reasons and . 'tbo arguments'by which ths proposition is to be maintained ? Pr ^ cisaly those "which the " limitations" and- ' '' qualifications ' . ' you seek to introduce would altogether .. exclude from the debate ! Iteyerse the matter ; and ' we propose that the question be , " Would a repeat of the Corn Laws benefit' the people ? "but that neither " free trade , '" " cheap brelid , " nor ay other . argument to prove that it would , be at all admitted into the discussion .

      You must sea . if you be not wilfully and obstinately blind , tho absurdity of your position If you had 3 tated . 1 t . the loige that " neither the franchise nor any' otner schema ba introJuce-1 , " and had Mr . B . ^ . V , -y ncoepted that proposal , vur coutssj would have b-. ' » a cl .-ar ; but waon you presume to lay down conditions which were not stilted then ; when you propose that all collateral s ' ubjobta , and , indeed , all the sources of your opponent's arguments shall ba rigidly excluded ¦ when , you-insist on being sole dictator both of the suVject : ind the mi ;; le of tho discussion , you pay an ill compliment to our s-nse , when you expect us to submit to it without demur , aud cffjrrt an ill sample of " the Centeel and court ; ous" in being angry with us -. Then you find . that we do not do so . And yet you have the hardihood to accuse us" of unwillingness to abide by the proposition" ! and asauine that all you coutend fur is erav . teci ! ¦ ' -..

      Gsntly , gently , good Sir . Not quits so fast ! We havo . certainly no disposition to a ^ reo to a proposition which w . oulil bind 113 to entor into a dis ^ u . ^ sion with our tonsjua ti ^ d ; bit we are equally indisposed to a' - ' mit 'bat " A repeal of the Corn Liwa would beneBt tbe yapple . " And w « regard your tenaciously : nlber : > ig to t ' ua " quiliticiition" wliich you have atUelifi . 4 to it aa a proof that you feel conscious of your inability to sustain it if a fair field be given to your opponon . t . In conclusion , sir , wo agirin tell you that all we require from you is thnt which we are ready to accord to you , " a fair field and no favour . " Your present letter lays down the turms of Mr . Baesley ' a challenge in

      words which we are reiidy to adopt . You arluin that " there was no qualification whatever to the proposition . " If these terms ( your own , mind ) content you , the whole of your akhmishing in this correspondence is * asted . Now . thon , Sir , what say yon ? Dare you withdraw your " qualification , " aud abide by your own showing of your own acceptance of Mr . Botsley ' s challenge ? If so , let us have no more fighting round the , bush ; tut to the field ! We bave had enough of this small fire , and are tired ef it . We take the " luts" as your own showing ; aud we wait to see you at ones enter them , as we shall assuredly write down that you shrink from a contest of your own seeking . We are , Sir ,

      With all due respect , The Hull Chartist Councillors , Signed on behalf , and by request of the whole , Wu . Holliday , Sucrotaiy Hull , Nov . 21 at , 1842 .
