      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STARDear Sir , —On the part of the Chartists of Scotland and for the advancement of our cause in that country , I am desired to request a corner in the people's paper for the following resolution passed at a meeting of Scottish delegates , held in the rooms cf the Mechanics' Institution , New Hall-street , Birmingham , on the evening of the 30 ih nltimo . Moved by Mr . Robert Somers , seconded by Mr . A . M'Dorrald , and passed unanimously . Resolved— " That the Chartists of Scotland are bound

      to see that the debt due to Mr . George Riss . of Glasgow , as General Treasurer , should be refunded to him . And the Scottish delegates here present pledge themselves to bring the subject before their constituents , and urge upon them tbo duty and necessity of Retting up social meetings or any other means that may be deemed necessary to raise funds for that purpose . And that with the view of recovering as much of the debt as possible , Mr . Ross be requested to take steps to prosecute all agents standing indebted for circulars , whose circumstances render such proceedings advisable . "

      To the above resolution the following delegates have affixed their names : — Archibald M'Donald , Aberdeen . Abram Duncan , Arbroath . ' Robert Cochran , Paisley . Rutsrt Somers G 3 lloway . William Parks , Anderaton . Thomas D-ivies , Hawick . James Adams , Glasgow . Samuel Kidd , Do . ThomaM Ancott , Da George Robertson . Greenock . Henry Ranfcin , Edinburgh . William Emerson , Leith . William Davidson , Dundc ? . William Cotton , Kilmarnock and Aberdeen . Con Murray , Vale of Leven , and Campsie . John Colquheun , Glasgow . James Moir . Do . Archibald Walker . Hamilton .

      Now , Sir , the debt to which the above resolution refers is justly due to George Ross , through his kindness in advancing money upon all occasions when the Central Committee for Scotland or the cause of Chartism required it ; if those who contracted the debt as an Executive have thought proper to secede from us without an effort to get it paid up , it is to be hoped that the men of Scotlnnd for whom Mr . Ross has done so much , will not allow him to be left minus ot £ 117 ; if they do , it is at variance "with their general cbaract or . I remain . Sir , Sincerelvvours , hS * * MurRaY -

      Friends of Liberty , —We , the undersigned comniHtee . deem it our duty to appeal to you on behalf of the wife and fami y of the unfortunate victim Roberts , of Birmingham , whose c » se excited so much com misaeration at the time of his conviction . It will not ba necessary now to enter into any lengthened d « ca ) ls of the circumstances which led to bis transportation ; suffice it to say that he told the Judge on his trial " that he w ;; a most innocent of the charges preferred , and that he could have proved such to the satisfaction of the court , but being too poor to support bis witnesses up to that time , they had to leave town , and therefore ) he must suffer . " The present situation of his wife and family ia we understand most deplorable ; hence we hope this appeal will not be made in vain .

      Englishmen , rtfleet on the situation of this unfortunate family , who are now pining amidst want and . misery ; whose home is made desolate by the myrmidons of tyranny and oppression—the husband banished from his native land—his wife , his family , a"d all that is dear to man , to linger through a miserable existence in wretchedness aud misery ! aad for what ? Why , because ( as he stated to the judge ) ha had not the means of buying justice . Our object in thus addressing you , is to raise a suffie ' ent fund to purchase for his unfortunate wife a bianole , so that shu may obtain a livelihood by her own industry , for herself and children , and thus render her independent of public subscriptions .

      This humble appeal , on her behalf , will we feel fully assured , meet with immediate and favourable consideration from every humane disposition . Her hus band , herself , aud family , are victims for the cause of liberty—they claim our sympathy , and surely if a small sum will procure the above article , and render her and her family comparatively comfortable , it is our solemn duty to see they do not starve . Signed by the Committee , J . Newhouse , D . Potts , T . Welsford , J . Bentley , C . Taylor , C . Thorpe , J . A . FUSSELL . Treasurer .

      Intelligehce arrived in Wigan on Wednesday noon , that Whitley-hall , tho residence of Mr . Alex . Fowden Halliburton , was on fire . The report caused a great sensation , as the hall is one of the finest mansions which add interest to the scenery in the neighbourhood of Wigan . The fire was occasioned by seme lighted coals falling from the ficesrate in the study down a black flue constructed for the purpose of increasing the draught in the chimney from the cellar . Some straw , which was in the cellar underneath the study , caught are , aad , had a timely discovery not been made , it is more than probable that the noble mansion would have been soon enveloped in flames , from its elevated situation and the strong breeze which was blowing at the time . The damage done was trifling .

      Death from Starvation . —On Monday morning , aa a person named Andrews was proceeding to bis work in the neighbourhood of the village of Harefield , Middlesex , about four miles from the town of Uxbridge , his attention' was attracted to something Which he observed behind some old honses in Harefield-lane , and on proceeding to the spot he found the body of a maa sitting upon an old saucepan , with his bead beat between his knees , and quite dead . From the dreadfully emaoiated and attenuated appearance of the body , there can be no doubt that the unfortunate man died from starvation , which is confirmed by the faot that no money or other article whatever was found upon him , except a quantity of haws , from the hedges , in his pockets . There was something also in his appearance that would lead to the supposition that he was some poor insane individual , who having escaped from an asylum * had wandered about in a destitute state , and eventually tad sat himself down , whew he died .

      A Messagel was received from the President of the United States , setting forth that the reason why no action was had ty him on the Bill to repeal the distribution clause of the Land Bill , and the Bill regulating the taking of testimony in cases of contested elections , was their presentation to him just as Congress j was on the point of adjourEment , owing to which he had not time to examine them before the adjournment took place .

P < sddie ' s time commenced on the 5 tk of March , 1840 , and will expire on the 4 th of March , 1843 } Let his friends therefore look te it . TODMOKDEN . —Magistrates' Room , Friday , Jan . 6 . —Three persons were brought before James Taylor , Esq ., whose names are John Crowther , Wm . jOverend . and Tftomas Stujisfield , for cutting Mr . Joseph King ' s coat . It appeared from

      the evidence of William Crossley , that Crowther and Stansfield kept the complainant in talk while Overend cut his coat . Mr . Bloomley , attorney , appeared for the prisoners ; he cross-examined Crossley but without shaking his evidence at all . He then called Richard Chaffer , Ash worth Earnshaw , and Thomas Smith , and they all swore that Overend was not in the room they were in that day , but his wjrship convicted Overend and Stansfield iu Is . 6 d . each and expenses , and Crowther to find sureties , or in default thereof they were to go a month to prison , but eventually he liberated Crewther , and committed the other two fourteen days .

      The League and the League ' s Fund . —On Wednesday | week , placards appeared on the walls of Todmorden , informing tbe people that an anti-Corn Law tea party would take place on Monday , in the Wesleyan Association Sphool Room , after which they ! would adjourn "to the Chapel , to hear addresses from R . R . R . Moore , and Juhn Bright , of Rochdale . The charge to the tea party and lectures was one : shilling , or sixpence to the lecture . When Mr . | O'Connor came to Todmorden , the Council waited upon the the trustees , to try to take the School jRooaj , aud the answer they got was that they coiuld not let it for a political purpose ; they informed them that the League had had h once for fcuch a { purpose . They said , " Yes , but they

      were not aware at the time that there was a rule upon their books strictly prohibitiug all such meetings . " They ( distinctly stated that neither the Lea / rue nor any otlpr party should have it ajrain . The Chartists , seeing that the League wore for making money out , of them , came to the conclusion to keep away . The Bill stated that no tickets woula be issued after jSa'urday night , but when Saturday night came , they had only sold about 150 ; they , therefore , on Monday took a very good plan to get ria of the tickets ; they placed a quautity in the hands of their slave drivers , aud sent them round the mills , stating to the people that they mi « ht have a ticket without paying for it just then , and if auy one refused to have one they looked daggers at ; him .

      They managed to get rid of about 400 with such proceedings as these . When the meeting commenced there was a { tolerable good muster , to sxy it was called by the League . Mr . R . R . R . Moere had to take the begging department , and a right good cadger he is ; he told the natives that if they would only give largely jthey would receive a greater reward when the Corn Laws were repealed . What , struck me mo . st at the time was the manner ot' collecting tho money . I They had got cards printed and circulated them in the meeting along wuh a pencil , and partita had tb write what they intended to give upon the cards . This was a new move , and calculated to forco the people to give contrary to their opinions ; for who durst refuse to give when their employers were staring them in the face ? They might as

      well have gone to each operative and said * ' You must either give something to the League fund or else you ninst lake the bag and walk . " After thay had collected the cards , Mr . Moore got up and said , if there was any one that after giving tho thing consideration , thought he had not givtsn enough , he requested them to spr-ak up ; this was an arranged plan , for individuals rose from different parts of the room and altered th <; ir subscriptions , some doubling the amount ; this was done , no doubt , to show thoso who had nov ; given up to the mark . Tiero never was in Todmorden euch shameful conduct beforeeven tht . ir ovyn friends ciy shame oft them ; and with all they could do they only got that night £ 150 . Th < y put th < 3 subscription they had made before to it , to make the people think they had got more than thiy really had . — Correspondent .

      should say that his individual efforts and sacrifices , including tinio and money , are almost unparalleled . His general character is an exemplification of the tendency of ] the acquirement of knowledge to ameliorate apd elevate tho dispositions of men .
