      ACCRINGTON . TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION RESIDENT IN THE NORTHERN DIVISION OF LANCASHIRE . Brother Chartists , —I have received eheerine accounts from diiftren ; towns visited by oar talented lecturer , tha * the cause of Chartiga is rapidly progressing ; that , the numbers of the Association are greatly increasing , and vhat towns in which there were no joined membere of the Association , arc now forming themselves , and enrolling their names as members of oar great National Charter Association .

      This , my friend ? , is what I expected would take place from agitation and the diffusion of political knowledge amongst the people ; but in order to keep up the fire which has now began to burn , it is indispensably necessary that some talented lecturer should be kept contimially lecturing anvoagst us , for assisting the formation of a anion of good men and true , that will stand against the betrayal of false friends , and the persecution of our enemies . You are , my friend ? , aware that the period for ¦ which we engaged « ur wor ; by lecturer draws near a dose , and in order to give you an opportunity of re electing him , or choosing gome other before Lis time expires , it is my duty to call a detegare meet- i

      ing , to take place at Blackburn , on the 24 th day of I October , the delegates to meet at one o ' clock pre- 1 eisely , at Mr . Aspden ' s , at the Temperance Hotel , j Darwen-atreet ; and having read in last week ' s paper , i with feelings of the greatest pleasure , the wise and important plans laid down by the Executive , for our future guidance , ia getting up an agitation an paralleled in the annals of our country , in favour of the glorious Charter of our rights , I eocsider it to be the duty of every man who has one spark of Jibercy in his bosom , to come forward at this most important crisis , and assist the Exf cutive in their noble exertions thev are do « t making , to drive from the hive those drones which have so long lived upon the industry ef the bees .

      My friends , they have a right to expect it from es ; for it was ourselves that elected them to fill the honourable , but important aud dangerous situation that they now hold ; and being n , en possessed of the greatest courage , honesty , and perseverance , they are entitled to ; he united and xjalous support of the members of the Asscrciation ; anH I feel con-Udent thai the men of North Lancashire will come forward and nobly do their duty , and show to the world thai the seeds ef liberty so mi by the immortal patriot , Henry Hunt , were sown in $ o : > d ground , and have produced an abandonee of good spirits ihat are now ready to take an active part in making our oountry— ' . " Great , glor ious , and free , First floorer of the earth , first gtm of the sea . "

      I trust to call your attention- to that part of the plan published by the Executive , that states their determination of summoning a Convention' to meet early the next year in London ; eo ihat yon may be able to instruct your delegates to come to the next delegate meeting that will be held on the 24 th of this month in Blackburn , whether yoa are able and -willing to elect a member to the Convention for the northern division of the county , for J perceive that they hare agreed that two members shall be Bent for tee county . I adopt this eourse , my friends , to save expence , and "I have no doubt yon will be able to decide the question without any more meetings upon the subject . I remain , your obedient

      servant-Tk . Beeslet , District Secretary . P . S . Those place * which have not joined the district may do so by sending either a letter or a delegate to " Blackburn , if they request it 5 there are several places wanted to makeup the number . If Bacup , Barnowlswick , Darwen , Haslingden , or Sabden would send a delegate , they would be abie to make arrangements to have the lecturer regular at their respective places . If the Secretary for the district in which ilr . Bairstow lectures , will " have the kindness to give his address to Mr . Beesley , Abbeystreet , Aecrington , h » will much oblige him .

      ADDRESS TO THE MEN OF CORNWALL . Fxlekds a > d Brethren , —It bscomes onr duty to invite you , according to the country motto , one and all , " to eoine forward and join in the great national struggle which now is made by men ard ¦ women in ail psrrs of England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales , in order that we may gain for ourselves a fair share of political power , that onr wants and our trades may be fairly protected , and that each man of sound isind , uucouvicted of crime , at the

      age of twenty-one , may have the power of voting for members of Parliament ; for , my friends , it is not cither fair or just that bricks and mortar should be allowed to vote , and that the productiven esses be passive slaves , fubservient to laws which they themselves have no controul over . Remember , yon are compelled by law , made to serve the interests of your oppressors , to work hard from noon to night for a mere crast , to supply a set of idle drones with money which they extort from you in the shape of taxes , winch is caused by class-legislation .

      O , my friends , were you fair ' y represented in the Commons' House of Parliament , by your own representaih es , with power to ait for the interests of the country at large ; do you suppose that , as your servants , they would act 03 at present , if they knew you had power over them to discharge them if they neglected to legislate for the general welfare ! No , my friends , the country would not be satisfied without they did their dn : y as men ; therefore , we call on yon , in the name of hamanity , to come forward and help us to j ; et rid of such a set of devouring dronei that keep you in subjection only by gans aad bayonets and other phyrical-force instruments , and a Frenchiue < 2 police , to carry out their black designs , to g ^ ear away your lives and liberty if ii suite their purposes . - . .- .

      Yon well remember when that " most detested fac- ; tion , the Whigs , called on yoa to come forward in ¦ the majesty of your strength , and , by your count- ! less numbers , return , them to _ power , and then they j would obtain for you your rights , and redress your ; grievances . Now , are you satisfied with th ^ ni 1 1 es , my friends , we think we hear your answer— . * They have had nine years' power to oppress the ! eountry , by enacting some of the most base , bloody , \ and brutal laws tha : ever disgraced a . nation . " But the country has manfully done its duty by sending them about their business ; for if ever a set of noodles merited it , the Whig f&cvioa did . Instead of redressing your grievances , aad raving to every man liberty , they gave you a most abominable Poor Law Amendment Act , which punishes poverty as a crime , separates hnstand from vrifr , and tears the weeping mother from her uff .-prinj ? . They have passed a most abominable Coercion Bill , established

      police spies , and made England a model for separate system prisons , and provided yon with mastp . They have added ei ^ ht millions of additional debt , au i imprisoned 450 of year best men for icr . rueting the people how to redress their grievances . - Now ,, my friends , the Whigs have died a most abominable death , and the bell has dote tolling . A bolder set of public ponderers have seized the reins of Government , and think to reign over you , which will asd mast add to jour burdens , by creating new taxes , new emoluments , and fresh pensions , to rewajd yonr late oppressors , who have spoken evil Against you . Now , we ask yon , as meu , are you willing t « submit to such a state of things , and to be governed by each a set of desperadoes 1 If yonr answer ii " Xo , never , " then we entreat you to come forward aad lend a hand , and join the great National Charier Association ; for bear in mmd that ¦ nity is strength * and strength : is power , and nntil we get that power we mustbe in the most wretched

      WIW . _ ' We ask you , ai men , are yon comfortable in year present situation in Cornwall f Are your tobies well supplied , yoar children well clad , your wives eomfortableJ . Is yonr labour protected J IfnotB © , are yon willing to standby , and see yonr sons bligtd to leave the land of their birth , to scavenge through Cnba , Van Dieman ' s Land , ind-Tanons tther foreign countries , to obtain a living which they ought to demand from the lasd of their birth as their inalienable right , every day bringing fresh Bewi that met a one is no more ! If yonr answer ; ii that you wish to alter your present degraded 1 position , then eeme forward with the same united ' petition as yon did when you petitioned for the : zelaaas « f yoar countryman , 'i relawney , which peti- ] tint ww treated ij the King .

      DUBLIN . —The cause of the unrepresented goes on bravely here , and from the letters daily received by Mr . Brophy , we are assured that the principles of the People ' s Charter , are rapidly spreading in most of the large towns in Ireland , and that Dan s " shining" popularity is fast fading before the light of the Northern Star . The Irish Universal Suffrage Association met on Sunday last , Mr . P . Rafter ia the chair ; the minutes ef the last meeting were confirmed , after which the Secretary read from the Northern Star , the r « port of the spread of Chartist principles in Drogheda , and remarked that similar attacks like that which had been made on Mr . Crossby had been mads on Borne of the members who are now present . He also stated the reasons which prompted

      the aristoeraey to attempt to stifle the voice of the people . Mr . Atkinson rose and said , though not a member , be hoped he would not be violating any rale by the few cursory remarks he « as about to make ; he said it was not often that working men in Dublin had the opportunity of hearing each truths spoken by one of their order ; he agreed with all that Mr . Brophy had said of the evils of the Government debt , and that worst of all evils , the state chursh , and regretted that all the valuable information which such an Assocation as that was capable of giving to the public shonld be lost for want of the press . The people of Ireland ( said ho ) only want to be enlightened in the principles of the Charter , and they would join it in greater numbers than ever they

      joined the great Father Mathew . Mr . Atkinson concluded by stating that he should consider it to be his duty to give the Irish Universal Suffrage Association all the assistance he could . ( Great cheeeing . ) Mr . P . Duff said that as an Irishman he felt it to bo his duty to advocate the principles of the Charter , in order to create a union of sentiment between the people of this country and England . He concluded a very sensible speech by proposing Mr . John Finn . Mr . Henry Clark read a letter , containing the names of nine persons resident in Sligo , and requesting him to propose them as members . Mr . O'Higgins said it must be gratifying to the friends of universal liberty in England , to learn that the cause in which so many thousands are engaged , in and for whiuh so many hundreds had suffered , was at length spreading in this once benighted but now partially enlightened countryenlightened by the circulation of the Northern Star .

      Mr . O'iiiggins also said that , feeling the justness of the principles of the Charter , ho waited upon the editors of tho Freeman and Register , and stated to them the advantage they would gain by taking up the principle They declined , and he had no doubt bHt these gentlemen would yet be sorry that they had not taken it up . He would conclude by btating to them a fact . Wbea Mr . O'Connell made the attack on the Chartist body and on tho Roy . Mr . Ryan , our numbers did not exceed eighty , and he now held in his hand the card of > Ir . Finn , tho number of which was 502 . ( Tremendous cheering . ) The meeting was further addressed by Messrs . O'Toole , Dyot , Dempsey , and Clarke , on the importance of establishing a free press in Dublin . Mr . Clarke was called to the chair , and thsnkg were given to the Chairman , when the meeting separated , many , as they went out , declaring— " Now we ara convinced that Brophy is no Orangeman . "

      NEWTON HEATS . — The friends hera complain of being very frequently disappointed by the non-attendance of the planned lecturers ; this has been the case three times within the last three months . On Monday last , October 11 th , Mr . Linney oueht to have been there , but instead of this , he went into the Potteries , and though a substitute waa promised , and tho people had got togother a large meeting to hear him , no one came , and the assembly after waiting nearly two hours , retired greatly disappointed . These things ought not to bo YORK—Mr . Skevington delivered a lecture on the causes of the distress at present existing in this country , in the Association Room , Fosagate , on Friday evening last . The members ot the Female Chnrter Association

      meet every Monday eveningat Mr . India ' s , newsagent , No . 4 , Ccllier-gate . Several new members have been enrolled , and it bida fair to rival the male association in the union and determination of its members . The followikg has been received fr « m the Secretary cf State ' s office , in answer to the menu rial in behalf of Robert Peddie and others : — " Whitehall , Oet 8 th , 1841 . " Sir , —Secretary Sir James Graham having carefully considered yonr application in behalf of Robert Pedriie and others , I am directed to expreu to yon his regret that there is no sufficient ground to justify him , consistently with his public duty in advising her Majesty tc coinpjy with the prayer thereof .

      S » XAt . LTBORNS ( Staffordshire ) Mr . J . Capper , of TunBta . ll , will lecture here ou Sunday , at the house of Mr . Pepper , on the right of tho poor to a living from tho land of their birth . RlElBSHAia . —Mr . Clucr , the celebrated Cum ^ berland weaver , has been recently lecturing in this town on the subjects of Teetotalism and Chartism . His labours have been successful beyond those of any .. ther advocate who has ever visited us . The working classes consider him to bo , as indeed he is , their best friend . He has shown them that tcetotali ^ rn connected with Chartism , will iufullibly euMire the successful agitation of the latter ; and that to be free , they must beeome intelligent . Aa the result of hie labours , a Cnartist Association has

      been formed , and a room , to bo used for the purpofeB of a meeting and reading room , has been opened , with the most encouraging prospects . Mr . Cluer ' ti bold style of advocacy—his invincible arguments— his clear and striking illustrations—and nib eloquent appeals—have created an exceediotfjy favourable feeling in tho public mind towards Teetotal and Chartist principles . Prejudice of long titanuing , seems , in many quarters , to have vanished ; and even the unconquerable malice of Toryism has deemed it prudent to bo quiet for a season . As au exception , however , to this general statement , we give the following : —The Committee of tho Teetotal Society already existing here , understanding that Mr . C . tier was a teetotaller and a public advocate

      of teetotal principles , sought to engage his services , and so turn to goed account that gentleman ' s political popularity . Accordingly they made application for their u > ual place of meeting—the British School ; but the Committee of that institution , consisting of liberal , consistent , and tolerant dissenters , thought proper to show a leetle intolerance , inconsistency , and iliiberality , by refusing their room , on the ground that Mr . C . was a Chartist ! We suppose such men would refuse the contributions of an infidel to the Bible Society , were he to offer any ; and oven persecute the devil for doing good , were heto attempt it : —thus absurdiy judging of an act by the agent , and not of au agent by the act . Had Mr . Cluer

      entertained the most destructive and detestable political doctrines , yet if teetotalism bo a good thing , and he can make more teetotallers than other men , people who are bur juat able to perceive the difference between a cow and a haystack , cau Bee that to prevent his doing good as an advocate of teototalism , on account of his politics , would be excessively absurd . It would be about as wise as denouncing honesty in a thiuf , or'Tiuruanity in a slavedriver . Mr . Cluer delivered a teetotal " lecture in the Chartist-room to a limited audience on Friday evening last , at the ciose of which nearly twenty signatures vrere obtained—be ' u : >; equal in proportion to tne numbers present , to at least sixty ou an

      ordinary . iftAxCHESTER , —Mr . "Vincent sent a letter last week , apprising the working men of Manchester of his visit . Accordingly the town wa 3 placarded giving notice that he woald lecture in the Carpenter ' b Hall , on Monday evening . At eight o'clock , there was a numerous assemblage of the hardy sons and daughters of toil waiting hia appearance , and shortly after the usual time for commencing , Mr . Vincent entered the Hall accompanied by Bailey , Leach , Campbell , and iew others ; and no ecouer di'l t ' ae " iads" get a glimpse of tho little champion than thny greeted him with loud and hearty cheers , which ¦? rere repeated again and again . Mr . Littler 0 ' S : i ! ford , was called to the chair . Mr . Vincent on

      rising was again received with tremendous cheering , and coucluded a flight of eloquence and an exciting address , by not only saying that he was the same man as he ever was , but pledged himself to the cause and the people , under all circumstances until death . He gave an account of the rapid progress of the principles of democracy , as witnessaed by himself in his tour through the country , and of the downfall of the enemies of the people . He adverted to the differences which have arisenamoDgst Chartists , and lamented that such was the case . He would do all he could to spread harmony , unity , and good wiJl .

      Iksakitt . —On Monday last , Mr . George GUI , a shoemaker , in the Central-market , was placed before the magistrates , charged with having fired off a loaded blunderbuss from his bed-room window , on the Sheepscar-road . It appeared from the statement of Mr . James , that about two o ' clock that morning , he received information that a man was in the enclosed yard belonging to Mossrs . Bulmer and Chorley , eorgeona , opposite the White Cloth Hall , armed with a blunderbuss , with which he threatened to shoot Mr . Bulmer , becaused he had an electrifying machine with which he tortured him , and prevented him from sleeping . Mr . James took two or three men and proceeded to the place , bat Gill had then eone . and on learning where he lived they

      proceeded thither , and wished to see him . He appeared at the bed-room window and presented his blunderbuss , with which he said he would let them know ; his wife begged of them to get out of the way , and after they had stepped round the corner of the house he fired . Thev then got into the house ( his wife having opened the door ) and took him into custody . Mr . Bulmer , surgeon , deposed to the annoyance he had received from the prisoner for some months ; who had been for some time confined in Hare ' s-retreat , aud against whom he had since signed a certificate of insanity . His constant complaint was about an electrifying machine : and he had frequeutly threatened to shoot him .

Ikin having examined the man , now gave a decided opinion of his insanity , but said he could not have done so at any former periol when he had Been him , as he had never met with him insane before .

      XOANCHESTEB . —Robdert of Plate and Jewellery . —On Saturday last , Mr . R . Thelwell , who lately carried on a most extensive business as jeweller and silversmith in St . Ann ' s-square , was charged before the borough magistrates on suspicion of being concerned in a robbery committed ou his own premises about seven weeks ago , when property to the amount of £ 9 , 000 was stolen . William Moobay was placed in the dock along with him , who had been employed as a porter in the establishment . Owing to the singular nature of the charge and the amount of property in question , the case excited the utmost interest , and the Court was crowded to excess . Mr . Thelwell had been made a bankrupt , and th « robbery was committed at the time the

      assignees were in possession of the property . Mr . Saunders , the solioitor under the fiat , appeared in support of the charge . Mr . Thelwell waa defended by Mr . Greene , tho barrister . Mr . Saunders said the robbery was committed on the 22 nd of August . . The assignees under the fiat were chosen on the 22 nd of May , when a person named Norton , a jeweller , in London , on behalf of himself and several others , applied to the assignees not to proceed to the sale of the property forthwith , but to allow it to remain as it was , merely selling by private contract , to give the friends of Mr . Thelwell an opportunity of coming forward and purchasing it in one lot . The assignees , knowing that when the property was under Mr . Thelwoll ' s control a previous robbery had been

      commuted , two valuable communion services being stolen , felt that there was some danger , and employed a watchman to remain on the premises all night , and afterwards all day on Sundays . He did so for three weeks , and was then discharged from further attendance on Sundays , by Mr . ThelwelPs order , without tho knowledge of the assignees . The robbery was committed on the third or fourth Sunday afterwards . Suspicion attaching to Mr . Thelwell , it was found that on Saturday , August 21 , the day before the robbery , he had taken his place by the three o ' clock p . m . train from Manchester to Parkside ( the place of junction for the trains from Manchester , Liverpool , and Lancaster to London ) , not in his own name . Thence he had gone to Lancaster , also in a wrong

      name ; and on being asked to account for this circumstance , first said he had gone to see a friend , and then that he bad gone 4 o see a young woman . He had left Lancaster on Sunday afternoon by the train , which arrived at Parkside in time to meet the seven o ' clock p . m . train from Manchester to Birmingham , and by that train he bad to proceeded to London .- In investigating the robbery it had been found that a large heavy dox had gone by that train from Manchester . On the morning of the robbery , during , the hours of divine service , a woman eaw two men carrying a box along Halfmooon-street , near Mr . Thelwell ' s shop . They wore traced into King-street , where they got into a coach that was waiting , aud drove to a place very near the house of the prisoner

      Moobay , in Hulme . The box . could be traced no further than tho railway station on Sunday evening . Superintendent Sawley , of the Manchester police , went to London , and discovered Mr . Thelwell at the White Horse , Fetter-lane . A letter was subsequently received in Manchester from Mr . O'Brien , a Sligo magistrate , accompanied by depositions taken before him , from which it appeared that a man named Patrick Rafferty had been charged with stealing £ 70 from James Thelwell , a brother of the prisoner . Thelwell gave a suspicious account of the way in which he became possessed of the £ 70 ; and Rafferty , whose sister had cohabited with James Thelwell , and afterwards made a confession ,

      implicating the two prisoners and James Thelweil ( who had been employed as porter by his brother ) in the robbery in St . Anu ' s-square . He said that the £ 70 had been handed over to him as his share of the property , various portions of which had been sold in Derbyshire and other places . The watchman stated that after tho robbery a ' large and ferocious dog , which would not have allowed a stranger to lock it up , was found shut in the cellar . The magistrates said that , without expressing any opinion , they felt bound to call on him to find sureties in £ 1 , 000 each , for his appearance next Saturday . Moobay waa also required to find sureties , and the parties iu Ireland , whose evidence has led to this disclosure , will be brought forward at the next examination . .

      Fatal Railway Accident . —On Wednesday night a fatal accident occurred to the keeper of a gate near Brough , named Heesom . It appears that as the last train rt ached the gate kept by deceased , about halfpast nino o ' clock , it being then quite dark , the' engineer , a very steady man , and oneof the most valuable of the company ' s servants , found that the keeper had not opened it , and on arriving at Hull he reported the neglect of the keeper , and it was intended that he should be very severely reprimanded the next day . Early in tho morning , however , his body was found lying on the line , with his band and the back of his head crushed . It is supposed that the deceased had fallen asleep in his box at the time that the train was coming up , and being startled by the whistle of the engine , had run to the gate , but had been too late to open it , and had been knocked down and run over by the train . From the wounds of the body it is supposed that deceased must have died instantaneously .
