      lOWDOK . —Thi Misoks' Steikk . —An ad-Tourned meeting of trades delegates , was held at the Craven Head , Drury-lane , Mr . Butler in the chair ; the secreUry read the minutes of the last meeting , which being oonfirtaed , the chairman read an address from tbe masons , and an accompanying balance sheet , from which it appeared that the sum total subscribed by the trades and friends , amounted to £ 541 Is . 0 | d ; amount received from the General Union of Masons , £ 606 3 s . U } A , malting a total of £ 1 ^ 147 3 s . ; their expenditure bad been £ 109733 . lid ; leaving a balance in hand of £ 49 19 s . Id ., independent of £ 100 which had been received by the Ezeehtive of the masons from their brethren in Scotland ; the ehainnjLB also -re » d from the Sitri newspaper , a denial by Allen of the chaises made at ihe Crown

      * aad Anchor , » gauist iinr ^ also their re ply , challenging Messrs . GrisseU , Peto , and Allen to refer the matter to arbitration , in order that the troth might be ascertained , to which Messrs . Grissell and Peto replied , ** that the men struck without first ' acquainting them with their grievances—that . their oomplement of men was now made up , and they should not trouble themselves farther ou the matter . " A large amount of subscriptions was banded in from TariouBtrades , and tbe meetingwas addressed by Mr . lVoTaiingwn ( mason , ) Mr / Wakley , M . Pn and other gentlemen , sft « r which the meeting adjourned . We reoerred along report of this meeting on Sunday morning , which by some means was mislaid , ana was not diseoTerea until the Star was nearly ready for press .

      " *™< 'i »"" ''J'gl *—Txetotxlisu versus Mo * dhutiok . —TbiB tovni has again , been placarded , aonooDoiog two discussions between Mr . Xoiqaz , agent to the Temperance Society , and Mr . Bowbothan , ihe defender of the little drop . The first came off on Monday evening , in the large room , Lever-street . At the conclusion of the debate tbe sense of the meeting was taken , when only four hands were held up in favour of the leetle sup , and all the others in favour ot total abstinence . On Tuesday evenin g , the subject was upon the Scriptural bearing or abstinence ; and the sixth night * * discussion was finally concluded by the passing of

      the following resolution : — " That , in the opinion of this meeting , drunkenness has been , and is now , one of the greatest evils that afflicts society ; that it has had a tendency to injure it religiously , politically morally , socially , locally , and nationally ; that the principle of total abstinence is both safe and practi cable , and well calculated to remove one of the mott destrustive curses to society ; therefore reason , common sense , christia-oUy , philanthropy , and patriotism , at once call upon every true lover of society and his fellow creatures to give up the use of intoxicating drink * , except as expressed in the temperanee . pledge . And this meeting sincerely recom mend the principle to be adopted and carried out generally . .

      BUBalET .-A detachment of the 60 th Rifles are now stationed at the Barracks , Burnley . A female , employed about the mess-room , who kept company with a private of the 60 th , named Moms , had also attracted the attention of a Lieutenant named O'Grady , of the same corps . The consequence was that Morris was jealous of his officer , and had notified his intention of murdering them both , unless the intimacy betwixt O'Grady and the female ' "was discontinued . On Sunday evening , between the hours of eight and nine , O'Grady and the female were in company in his ( O'Grady ' s ) room , and it is supposed Morris was watching their movements . O'Grady was leaving his room , and was met

      by Morris , who immediately poshed him back , and inflicted a mortal wound in O'Grady ' s belly with a carving-knife , tbe bowels protruding from the wound . O'Grady got out , and went to the messroom , and sunk down , exclaiming " O , Major , I am murdered ! " In tbe meantime , Morris proceeded with his work of blood , inflicting two stabs in the body of the female , which proved mortal ; and then turning the instrument of death against himself , he inflicted four desperate wounds on his own body , and immediately expired . The female died about three o ' clock on Monday morning , and Mr . O'Grady died about ten o ' clock . The three bodies were laid in the Barracks , awaiting the Coroner ' s inquest . "

The Chartists of Salford meet in their room . Great George-street , every Tuesday evening , at eight o ' olock , for discussion , on the principles of the People ' s Charter , whenrany person will be allowed to take part in the discussion .

Henry , a veteran of ninety-eight , and one of the many Irishmen who are now exiles from their native land . He was personally acquainted with those two nobles of nature , Roger and Arthur O'Connor , and often when speaking of them the big tear trickles down his furrowed cheek , and though old , yet his ardour for the liberation of his country is unabated . After tea was over Mr . Charles Buckley delivered a neat and spirited address on the misery and privations of the working classes . In the course of the evening , a variety of songs , duets , &e ; . amused the company until late .

      BXBMJJiGHAm . —Fbeejcan Stbket Meetings . —An . enthusiastic meeting was held at the Chartist Room , Freeman-street , on Monday evening . Tbe yn «» H"g was chit fly composed of the parties who attended Mr . White from ttte Town HalL Mr . Walter Thome was unasimouily called to toe chair , and on Mr . White making bis appearance , he waa loudly and repeatedly cheered . He addressed the meeting at great length , and described the blood-thirsty conduct of the cowardly manufacturers and shopocrats , and informed them of the transactions that occurred in the organ gallery , which it was impossible for the body of the me * Ung to bear . He again hurled defiance at the wnnntidn " Plague , " and thanked the brave Chartist body-guard who bad stood by him at their

      own peril , aad declared his determination of meeting tbe . vile impostors whenever they called the public together . He animadverted on . the conduct of some proteasing Chartists , who remained quietly at the back of fiie gallery whilst the life of him , and the few friends wbo surrounded him , was endangered . He then entered into a description of tbe base means which tbe Whigs would resort to is order to thrust themselves into office , and called on the working men to have nothing to do with such base ctmacten , and concluded amidst enthusiastic cheering , Mr . Maapn then addressed tbe meeting in a most eloquent speech , and informed the meeting of the villany which he had witnessed at the Anti-Corn Law meeting , and applauded the Chartist body for the noble manner in which they

      hod floored the cowardly impostors . He was loudly cheered by the meeting . Mr . Barratt then addressed the assembly , and proposed that a committee should be formed for the purpose of finding out the person who had knocked Mr . White's hat out of his hand . A committee of five were then appointed ; after which the sum of twelve shillings was contributed for the purpose of replacing his loss . The Town Hall aflair has filled the Chartists with energy and enthusiasm , for as soon as the attempt of the ' Plague" to play the physical force game was properly understood , not one of the cowardly crew was to be seen in , or near , the Town Hall , whilst cheers for the Charter and O'Connor

      resounded through tbe various streets at the time that Freeman-street room was crowded . At the close of the meeting a vote of thanks waa given to Messrs . White and Mason . Three cheers were given for the Charter , three for O'Connor , and tbree for Wnite . When the meeting was about to separate , deputations arrived from various public bouses , which were fllied with Chartists who had retired to refresh themselves after the Town Hall uproar , to see whether Mr . White was safe , as they were not aware that be had gone to Freeman-street , so thtt instead of injuring tiw Chartist cause , as anticipated by the " Physical-force Plague , " they have cemented them more strongly together .

      Public Meeting . —A large and enthusiastic meeting was held in the Chartist Room , Freeman-street , on Wednesday evening , Mr . Hopkins in the chair . Tho meeting was addressed by Mr . J . Mason in a strain of impassioned eloquence seldom surpassed . After the transaction o' various business connected with tbe Association , the meeting separated . Steelhousb Lane . —Public Meeting . —Bbutai Conduct of the Asti-Corn Law League . —At a meeting of the members of the National Charter Association , held at the Suip Inn , Stefclhouse-I-ine , en Tuesday evening last , the foUo'wing resolution was unanimously agreed to : —Resolved , That , in the opinion of this meeting , the brutal conduct of a groat number of gentlemen connected with the Anti-Corn

      Law League , at the meeting held at the Town Hr . U on Monday evening last , must stamp them as a party with eternal Infamy ; they have attempted to take the life of Mr . George White , at a time when his friends did not anticipate danger to his person , and were beyond the reach of renderingjhim assistance , only seven of them having gained admittance to the Orb an Gallery , although it . is capable of holding several hundred persons , and was crowded on tha occasion . " The following is a specimen of the brutal and indectnt language used on this occasion : — " Murder tbe rascal !" " Throw him over ! " " Tear him limb from limb !" " Knock bis b y brains out ! " < fcc . They also robbed him of his hat and silk hand ^ erchlet , and shortened the gas when Mr . White was surrounded by

      a large number of tbe parties \ rho had inado use of tbe abeve expressions , from which their motives may be fairly judged . The conduct of Mr . Joseph Sturge on that occasion was worthy of bis previous good character , and merits the approbation ot' all good men , for which we return him cur sincere thanks . In vindication of our character , as lovers of truth and fair-play , ws beg leave ta slate , that Mr . White was duly authorised by tbi « Association to propose Mr . Follows , of Monwouth-street , as Chairman , he having been previously approved of by a Committee formed of Deputation from tbe various Chartist bodies in this town ; that our object wtt , to secure full , fair , and free discus sion , without having tbe slightest intention of hindering any n- ™ from fearlessly expressing his * opinions .

      A report having got into circulation that Mr . Brown -was conpeeted with our proceedings , we think it tut justice to -ourielviss to state , that M * . Brown haA . no connection whatever with the National Charter Association , and that any part which be has taken ' was not sanctioned by U 3 as a body . We likewiBe think tuaVif * uch outiageous conduct be persisted in by the Anti-Corn Law Leasuo , public meetings will fee a scene of outrage tbe moat fatal to . those liberties held to bo so reered and inviolable by all lovers of truth and justice ; tbo » e rights so dear to every Englishman , tbe privilege of freely and fearlessly discussing all public grievances ; and that unless such savage conduct be promptly checked , there is an end to all real freedom of opinion . —By order of the National Charter Associa tion , Samuel Davis , Chairman .

" Sir , —Permit me to lay before your numerous readers tbe following plan for causing the National Petition to be cheaply , speedily , and effectually signed . Let twenty thousand individuals , throughout the country , purchase each a petition sheet , capable of holding two hundred names , which will cost but twopence , and let

      him get it signed by his friends , acquaintances , neighbours , and others ; thus securing four million of signatures in a short time , without employing men at a considerable expense ( as has been usually done ) to stand in the streets getting signatures .

      HARBOROUGH UNION . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sib , —We take the liberty of writing to inform yon of the treatment we hare receivod in this place . We will now state to you the caso of J . Conquest , an inmate of this place , who , on the 19 th of August , at breakfast , for speaking to one of his children , was dragged by a policeman , and confined in a dungeon for twenty-seven hours , on bread and water . He was then taken before Mr . Rookesby , a magistrate and chairman of the Board of Guardians , where Mr . Warburtoa , the master , was allowed to rake up what charges ho liked against , him , and Conqueet was not allowed to refute him , bus when he was making his defence , Mr . Warbunon was allowed to interrupt him , and when Conquest appealed to Mr . Rookesby , to stop him , he flew in a great passion and cried out * ' Stand back fellow !"

      When Conquest called his witness , W . Stafford , Warbnrton was allowed to interrupt him . When Stafford spoke to the magistrate to stop him , he arose from his chair , in a great passion , and striking the table with his fist , and looking at Stafford , spoke to him sayin / sr , * ' If y ° do not mind , Sir , how you give your evidence , I will commit you ! " When Stafford asfoed him if he had not sworn him to speak the truth , and he would speak nothing but the truth , Mr . Rookesby said , he should not believo one word he had spoken , and then told Conquest he should commit him to prison for fourteen days , and looking him in the face said he wag satisfied he was a desperate character by his taking notes ! when Conquest exclaimed , " Good God , Sir , is knowledgo become a crime ! " but received no answer .

      Wo will now state to you the case of Samuel Da ^ ves , an ininate of this place , who gava a man who was going out a shilling to bring him an ounce of tobacco , but when he camo back , he was not allowed to see him , so he gave the change and tobacco to tho master , who nover gave it to him . When Dawes loft tho Union , ha asked the master for the monty , but received for answer that he mi > ht think himself well off , that he did not punish him for it : be never gave him the change or tobacco .

      An inmate of the name of Haddon , was confined in a dungeon , for the space of one mouth , locked down to an iron ring , without shoes or stockings or any bedding or covering : ho could not lie down , and had only bread and water the whole time , in the midst of the severe froat and snow , last winter , which perished his leg ; and he is at this time a cripple . For the great crime of getting out of this place to obtain eoma food , he received this punishment . We have rules , hung up in our day room , stating the time of rising to be seven o ' olock , and for going to bed at eight o ' oleok , —which our master breaks when he thinks proper , locking us up by half-past six o ' clock , like so many felons , and abusing us in tho most disgraceful manner .

      On the 22 nd of October , all the able-bodied men were ordered before the Board of Guardians , where Mr . Commissioner Weal asked the reason why they did not break one ton of stonea per day ! The reply was , they were not able to do it , on the diet they received . He replied , " Let me tell you , you live well here ; aad unless you break the quantity of stones ordered by the Board , you will be sent to Leicester tread-mill I '' The men were then ordered out . We received our dinners , and went again to the deOT of the Board-room , and were told we could not go in . We sent out message in , by the porter , —that we were not able to do tho task of work , and if we were to go to gaol for that which we were not able to do , we would rather go that day than stop any longer .

      Here is the dietary for able-bodied men and women .- —Eight oz . of bread for breakfast , and seven for women . Oa Sundays , Tuesdays , and Thursdays , five oz . of meat and one pound ef potatoes , for dinner : for supper the same days , a pint and a half of broth , six oz . of bread for men , and five for women . On Mondays and Saturdays , one pint and a half of potatoe soup for dinner . On Wednesdays and Fridays 14 oz . of suet pudding , for men , and 12 oz . for women : for supper , 6 oz . of bread , and one oz . of cheese for men , 5 oz , of bread , and . one oz . of cheese for women : boys above nine years of age , the same as wpmen : under nine at discretion . And a . nice little mesa it is : the allowance of oatmeal to make the .. " . rokgut" is two pounds and a half of floor for seventy pounds . We wish , Sir , this to be Jnade known to the publio ; for the truth of which we write our names .

      10 THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Having read a report of the meeting held at the Grown and Anchor , on Monday evening , the 8 th instant , and partially reported in the Star of tbe 13 th , I find that you , taking for granted the report sent for insertion to be a correct one , very justly remark , in a note of comment , on the mistakes the author of the address feli into , as well aa express your surprise that Mr . O'Brien should have received an addre&s of which the words "there never was a press that really represented the working man , " formed a portion . Now Sir , inj justice to O'Brien , in justice to us , in justice to the cause , I feel it to be an imperatiTc duty on me , as Chairman of that meeting , to state thus publicly the case to be diametrically opposite .

      In the first place , the address cannot be considered other than a personal address , inasmuch as it was not submitted to the meeting for approval . And of this omission Mr . O'Brien made good use by stating at the opening of liia speech , that had that address been put he should have opposed it , word for word ; therefore , not considering it the address of the meeting , he should repudiate it as one every way calculated to injure him , and justly , in the opinion ot his friends . 1 also beg leave to state that even the resolution embodying the wishes of the people to present him ^ ith a press , he would not allow to be put , and actually tore it in the presence of the meeting .

      This , Sir , I trust you will consider a sufficient answer to the latter clause in your comment . With the first part 1 have nothing to say , and as the reports of that meeting were not taken by the accredited London reporter , I hope the public will see into the motives which could induce any man , us a reporter , to withhold that portion of Mr . O'Brien ' s speech wWch would at once show tha Very consistent mann&r , the honest and patriotic feelings with which he repudiated that address . By inserting this in your next it will leave me room to deelare myself to be , With the greatest respect , Yours very truly , Jambs Edward Nagle , Chairman of the Meeting , And Member of the Chartist Association Marylebone .

      [ We are very happy to receive and give insertion to this letter . W « did noi receive the report of the meeting from our owb reporter , on account of the meeting ' s having been called , we think most improperly , on the same evening as that for the benefit of Carrier , to which our reporter was previously engaged . A personal friend of Mr . O'Brien , from Brighton , being in London at the time , kindly offered his services to report O'Brien ' s meeting , and as oar reporter could not be at both places , we were thankful to accept his offer . The reporter did not send the address ; he merely stated tbat a congratulatory address Was presented . Perhaps he might not intend the address to be inserted , and that may account for his not having reported Mr . O'Brien ' s repudiation of it ; of that we can know

      nothing . We received the address by the same post , from the Secretary of tbe O'Brien Press Committee , with information that it had been adopted ; we therefore naturally concluded that it was intended to accompany , and form part of the report , and ordered » to be Inserted accordingly The report waa inserted as we received it , word for word , withont any curtailment , or any addition , but thai of the address , which , as we received it from the Secretary , and as he stated it to have been adopted , we necessarily supposed to be tbe address referred to by the . report , and aa we had received no communication from Mr . O'Brien , or { t , m any of fa !* friends , relative to Ida repudiation of it . we were compelled to treat it aa tha address of the Committee , and as having been received by

      O'Brien . . - ¦; . Sinoe the receipt of the aoove letter , and the writing ef these remarks , we have received from a member of the Committee another letter respecting this matter . He says : — "In the fir st [ place , it is asserted that the address read at the meeting teas not a verbatim copy of that passed by Mr . O'Brien ' s Committee on the previous Thursday ; it having been , according to the assertions of several of my brother Committeemeh , ( I teas not present its passing ) altered in the very part upon tehick you have so Justly commented .

      sometime . The individual whom they affect , Mr . R . J . Biohardson , has been placed In unpleasant circumatances . I have yraited until he has been released from arrest , ( for to prison he has not been ) , and until his appeal to the publio , under these ciroamstances , should have been answered ; before I interfered in the matter , which a feeling of right prompts me to take up . Now , however , ia the time to make a clean breast . Now my queries rauet be answered , or Mr . Richardson mast be content to be considered guilty of that which shuts him out of the society of every honest man .

      My queries , then , are these : — Is it true that Mr . Richardson went to Liverpool to give evidence against his brother Chartist , Christopher Dean ! . ¦ « ' . Is it true that he waited there five or six days for that purpose , and received £ f > 6 s . for his expencea from the prosecuting attorney , for his attendance ? Is it true that he told the Manchester friends , in excuse for the postponement of his lectures , then advertised for delivery , that he had to go to Dublin , ana that lie represented himself aa being off for that city , at the time he was waiting in Liverpool to give evidence against Dean I Is it true that the constable who apprehended Dean told him that Richardson had been paid a

      sovereign for pointing out the house where h « ( Dean ) was to be found ! These charges , { Sir , are made—publicly madeagainst Mr . Richardson . He has not yet met them . I consider him bound to meet them . Therefore , I again emphatically ask—abb these chaeges true ob false ? If true , no spy or informer in the country is one-hundredth part so despicable as the man to whom they apply . If false , it is due to his own character that thev be instantly met and refuted . Mr . Richardson is aware that these charges are made , and he is bound to meet them . If he do not meet them , the only possible inference is that they axe true .

      I am , Sir , Yours , respeotfully , A Radical of the Old School . November 15 th , 1841-[ We had supposed that in the controversy between Mr . Richardson and the Manchester Chartists , ( in which we certainly do not think that Mr . Richardson cat- an enviable figure , ) this unpleasant discussion might have been ended . We have declined inserting several communications very severely reflecting on Mr . Richardson , because of our decided objection to these matters of personality ; but the present writer puts the matter in so simple , and yet so powerful a light , that we felt bound , in justice , not less to Mr . Richardson than to the . public , to give the letter , that a fuir opportunity may be afforded to Mr . Richardson of giving some publio explanation on this matter , whioh mast otherwise Rink his character in eternal infamy . —Eo . N . S . l
