      DUBUN . —Ibish Usivebsal Suffrage Associatios . —This Association , which iB weekly receiving large accessions of numerical strength , and whose principles are recognised by thousands in Ireland , who , u » der the system of Corn Exchange interdict , have not yet summoned sufficient moral courage to eater its ranks , met at its great rooms , 14 , North Anne-street , on Sunday last , Mr . H . Clark in the chair . The meeting was well attended , and several new members were admitted ; amongst them Mr . WiDkun Antisell , son of th&t well-known patriot and personal friend of the " Liberator , * ' Counsellor Antis * ll , father of the Irish Bar . After the minutes had been read , and some routine business transacted , Mr . Dyott , who has been elected Secretary , entered

      into a graphic description of the late fracas , and subsequent correspondence , which had taken place between the Cora Exchange folk and Mr . Coyne , the hatter . The former had given the latter a fresh specimen of their "liberality" aad love of freedom . A number of burly Repealers had waylaid and beaten the suspected Chartist , kicked him in the abdomen , and laid him stretched on a bed of pain 1 a rare specimen of the forbearance and philanthropy of these non-physical-force gentlemen . He concluded a long speech by moving the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Woodward , and passedunauimously : — " That the Irish Universal Suffrage Association is forced , thus publicly , to vindicate its character from the foul , false , and infamous calumnies which have

      been so often and so unscrupulously made against it ; namely that of ' tendering unlawful oaths to the members , and instigating them to tear down priests from the altar . ' That this atrocious calumny has been made by a gang of unprincipled adventurers , insolvents , swindlers , forgers , and perjurers , who have neither house , nor home , and who appear to have no other means of eking oat a living , ( until some municipal situations are opened for them at the expense of the citizens , ) , than that of subsisting on tae large sums of money which they obtain from their confiding and credulous dupes , under the pretence of Repealing the Union , while their great leader has honestly declared , that he will not br ing that question forward in the House of Commons , until he has the signatures of 4 , 000 , 000 of Irishmen , to a petition for that purpose ; while at the same time it is well known , that there are not

      3 , 500 , 000 male inhabitants in Ireland , including new-born babes !! ! The Irish Universal Suffrage Association , collectively and individually , deem it incumbent upon them to proclaim , that their respect and veneration for the Irish Catholio Clergy is as unbounded , and as sincere , as that of any other society in the universe ; that there are no secrets nor oaths of any kind in their society ; that they do not consider any persons as friends but those who tell to every body every thing they hear and see at the meetings of the Association ; that the Association has been lounded for the purpose of obtaining by legal and constitutional means , and by such means oniy , Unirersal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot . Annual Parliaments , Equal Electoral Districts , No Property Qualification , Payment of Members ; and when these blessings are obtained , a Repeal of the Union . " Mr . W . Antisell said he had read over

      with great care , the rules and objects of the Association , before lie had made up his mind to join them : and had found them in perfect accordance with the inalienable right of every man to a voice in the making of laws , by which he was bound in purse and person . The thanks of the meeting were then returned to Mr . Clark for his impartial condnct as Chairman , and the meeting separated , giving three hearty cheers for the success of Daniel O'Connell ' s Manhood Suffrage . ( . Tremendouslaughter . ) NEWPORT . —Oa the 7 th inst ., the Association came to the following resolution : — " That this Association view with abhorrence , and severely censure the conduct of Collins , O'Neil , and others of the Corn Law League , for their brutal and cowardly treatment of our worthy and philanthropic friend , Feargus O'Connor ; and we are determined to resi 6 t all his enemies , and stand by him till death , considering his enemies foes of humanity , and to the cause of freedom . "

He entered into the question of the Lasd , and explained , in a clear and comprehensive manner , the beneficial results that might be expeced from the establishment of the People ' s Charter , and concluded amidst loud and enthusiastic cheers . Mr . J . Williamson afterwards made some remarksrespectingtheconductoftheChnstian Chartists Mr . Benjamin Hill , an active member of the Christian Chartist . church , defended the body with which he was connected , and denied that they were hostile to Mr . O'Connor . It ought to be here mentioned

      that Mr . Hill acted a manly part in the Organ Gallery at the time that Mr . O'Connor was so grossly insulted , by handing up a note from Mr . White to that gentleman , in defiance of tbe yells and threats of the anti-Corn Law party . He also corroborated Mr . O'Connor ' s statement respecting the ruffianly conduct of those parties towards him , and at the same time cordially supported the first resolution at the late Town Hall meeting . We , therefore , take this opportunity of doing justice to Mr . Hill , at the same time regretting that , in consequence of the short time in which the report had to be got up , it was unintentionally omitted last week . Mr . O'Connor ' s lec . ure gave great eatisfacties to the meeting , and his vi ^ is to Birmingham has done incalculable benefit to the Chartist cause , so much so , that thousands are now confirmed in their belief , that nothing short of the Charter can produce any permanent benefit to the nation .

John Griffiths seconded the adoption of the National Petition , and impressed on them the necessity of union . The petit . on was carried unanimously .

There was no doubt of the crime having been perpetrated , the only question was as to the identity of tho party . Mr . WiLKLNsmade an excellent defence , and spoke of some witnesses that he had to prove an alibi , but whom he never called . The evidence against Rawling- ' was . very strong . The Jury found all the prisoners guilty .

      CROWN COURT , Fribay , March 11 . THE ESCRICK MURD EB . All the avenues and passages in the Castle were crowded for upwards of an hour before the opening of the court , by parties anxious to hear the above trial . Great inconvenience was sustained by parties who had business iu the courts , in consequence of the pressure of the crowd and tho difficulty in other respects of obtaining admittance . Mr . Baron Rolfe took his seat soon after nine o ' clock , and immediately afterwards Jonathan Taylor * aged 60 , was placed at the bar , charged with the wilful muider of Ellen Taylor , his wife , by-strangling her , at Escrick , on the 2 f > sh of October last . Mr . Bain £ S , Mr . Wilkins , and Mr . Pashley were counsel for the prosecution ; Sir Gregory Lewin and Mr . Blanshard were for the prisoner .

      Mr . Baines stated the case at great length , and called several witnesses in support of the accusation . Thirty-two witnesses were subpocened , and in attendance ; and , wliea our packet of news left at half-past two , the sixth only was under examination . The trial is expected to last over a good portion to-morrow ( Saturday ) ; and , under these circumstances , we deem it best to reserve the evidence for our next , that the reader may have ithe whole before him at one time .

Mr . George Johnson , a celebrated , GjbartiBt veteran , occupied the chair . The large meeting reoni was packed and wedged until not another could be gotten in . Mr . Aitkin ,

      schoolmaster , read an address from the cotton spinners to the manufacturers of Aahton . The address was received with loud cheers from the meeting . Mr . Aitkin followed it up in a short pithy , and sensible address , shewing the evils of reductions , exposing the villauy of the master towards the colliers , and expatiating on the alarming state of the country . He mentioned a master who was then giving more tban any of those who had given notice . ' whp reprobated their conduct , and declared it was only through avarice , and therefore uncalled for . The ispfoker sat down much applauded . The Chairman reeo and said he would give his views upon the matter a * to the line of policy they should adopt In order to xpose the deinga of the cotton masters . He thought that n there were parties in the House of Commons ¦ who would take up the question , it would not be unwise to niemoralize Parliament , shewing their condition . Mr . Ferrand had told some truths which could not be

      contradicted , truths lvhicti would do a great good to the cause of the people . Several voic 3 S cried out strike at once , aud never go iu again till something is done . Others a ^ ked how many hundreds were already walking the streets ? Others cried ouV we can only get caven shillings now , and what shall we get when ten per cent , is taken off ? One party from the body of the meeting recommended an interview with them , whilst others asked who dare do that ? aa it would be a sure sign to be bagged and sent into the streets , therefore they would let the tyrants glory ia their own villany . Several voices cried on * at the top of their lungs , that they bad been to their masters , who told them they should not give way in the least . Indeed they considered tbern very impertinent for even coming to ask such a thing ] Mr . Aitkin ros * in the midst of this desultory conversation , and said that dispair had taken possession

      of their minds , and they were nearly reckless of consequences . He could not conscientiously advise them to turn out "when there was no money in the exchequer to support them . Other towns m > ro in the same condition as themselwB , and so long as there were so many in the streets already , and they had no funds , he thought they hadbetter try if they could prevail upon them to stop the reduction , as there were none to help them , consequently they would have to depend upon their own resources . The dressers , who were letter paid and more likely to succeed , have just lost their strugglethe masters had conquered— -and every one who wa » bold enough to face the masters , and strike , had besn deprived of situations—left to starve—and , what was fctill worse , neglected by those who promised to support them . He would only give his advice , leaving them , of course , to adopt what step they deemed prudent He could not counsel a turn-out when there was no

      sign of success ; he would rather say , let them meet their masters in the dignity of men— -not be afraid of them , and show the injustice , impolicy , and impropriety of reductlons ^ tgH them ( the mritirs ) that they knew their rights , and that they bad no right to make encroachments upon their labour . After a few such like remarks , Mr . A . sat down , Mr . Richard Pilling said ho was informed that there was a notice , in Buckley ' s Mill , of t ^ u per cent . ; and , at another mill , be had heard , the reduction would take a fourth . If they would take notice of the state of the country , no one could recommend a turnout . A strike at Stockport had only just terminated in favour of the masters , which would be , in some instances , three-halfpence in theshilllpg . Mr . PLUing then showed the reductions which had taken place at Blackburn , Hyde , Burnley , Hull , &c , &c , and said it only showed What those Corn Law repealisg gentlemen were . One master had made an abatement of eightp « nce for himself , threepence to

      the cutlooker , and one penny for the overlooker ; and the laas had only a shilling per cut for weaving it , at tho best . 780 that sfie had to weave it for nothing . He had no doubt that if the Corn Laws had been repealed , the cotton-masters , instead of taking ten per cent , would have taken twenty , thirty , or forty per cent . There was no : hope but in the achievement of their political rights . They would never be protected until they had the vote . They never would work f ull tinie again , because there was sufficient machinery to supply all the world , and hell and heaven , too , if they Wanted calico . Several others addressed the meeting ; and it was agreed that they , the masters , should be remonstrated with . The meeting adjourned to Thursctay Three cheers were given for the Charter , O'Connor , Ferrand , the Star , and Aitkin ; a vote of thanks to the chairman ; , and the meeting quietly dispersed . A copy of the address has been sent to us ; but we are sorry that our space entirely precludes its insertion this week .

      MURDES WILL OUT . FURTftER PARTICULARS OF THE INT ENDED ASSASSINATION OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR . " When rogues fall out honest men come by their own . " The Chartiftg of Manchester and indeed men of all political opiniong , feel indignant beyond expression , at the cowardly attack made upon Feargus O'Connor , on Tuesday last . : At first , the thing was looked upon as a mere ebullition of Irish feeling in behalf of Daniel O'Connell ; arid as such things had before occurred in a mitigated form , not much

      was thought Of it ; but since , the following facts have transpired . Owing to the distinction made between the high and low ruffians a split has taken place , and the whole affair is coining to light . The facts are these , A certain association of Corn Law Repealers , found the money which was distributed to all who could be hired to do tho work of destruction . The money was placed in the hands of a leading Irishman , who sells old clothes , and who , from his avocation , is extensively acquainted with his poorer countrymen . He is the individual who was pitched upon on the previous occasions ; at Steyenson ' s-square and the Carpenter ' s-hall , to hire the men . Oa the present occasion , however ,

      be paid the forces unequally , giving to some a shilling for the job , and a penny for admission ; while others received half-a-crown for their work , and a penny for admission . The thirteen-penny assassins being jealous of the half-crown assassins , a regular ' - ... division has taken place : the thirteenpeimyites crying shame on the foul deed , and declaring themselves Q'CONNORITES ; and the halfcrownites justify the disparity , as being picked men , and profess themselves O'Connellites . I have just learned also that the man who first struck O'Connor was to have had £ 5 . His name is Price . So that the whole murder will come out , and be subject of strict and searching enquiry . I understand that some of those engaged , have given Mr . O'Connor afull account of the whole

      Untitled Article

      transaction , and which , when detailed , will make Messrs . Edward . Watkin , and others , cut but a sorry figure before their English fellow-eountry men . The Chartists swear that had . the plot succeeded , and had O'Connor been assassinated , that not a stone would now be standing on another in Manchester . It is utterly impossible to give the faintest idea of the excitement that prevails , as new facts transpire ; and had it not been for the glorious triumph of last night , God only knows what the result might : have been . It is currently rumoured that another attack iB to be made on O'Connor to-night at Stockport , but report says that the ChartiBts there are prepared for the worst . Largo bodies of Chartists are going from Manchester , Ashton , and the surrounding districts . .

      They have now in truth roused the British lion , and but for O'Connor ' s judicious speech last night much bad feeling would have been engendered between the English and the Irish . Many of the respectable Irishmen are using all means to rid themselves of the odium , and the ruffians appear to be thoroughly ashamed of their job . By next week I shall have some very important communications to make to you , which , if disclosed at present , might tend to frustrate the ends of justice . - - ¦¦ : y ¦; .

      TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —It is now of the utmost importance that you should know of what is going on in this town of , the " League ; " and perhaps yon may be already aware of the information I hero beg to send you : if so , pardon me for troubling you at so late a time of the week . . The " League" men have determined to proceed with the stopping of the factories ; and , as far as I have been able to obtain information , the following factories are to stop this week : —Messre . Stirling and Beckten , Lower Moseley-street , Manchester , 1 , 100 hands ; Messnr . Fielden and Brothers , Oldham , 2 . 400 hands ; Messrs . Marsland and Brothers , Stockport , 800 or 900 hands . Messr ? . Sharp , Roberts , and Ca , machinemakera , ic , will put all their men on short time on Monday next

      : Perhaps you will have some advice for those in the factory districts on Saturday . This is a most particular crisis . The bailie between sleamlords and landlords is speedily coming ( to a head , and the thne is not far distant WHEN THE PEOPitE 'WILL HAVE TO ENGOUWTER both . They themselves are bringing it on , and upon Viem mutt rest the responsibility . That sushis the case you have only to read the letter in last Saturday ' s Manchester Times , signed " Edwatd Watkin , " and its distribution in slips ameng the Irishmen , with pennies to go and upset the meeting on Taesday evening of the " Itloody traitor , " O'Connor . ' These are their own words ; but they will yet live to repent or suffer for their dirty and tyrannical conduct npon this occasion . A Real Democrat . March 10 , 1842 .

Our correspondent thus writes us by Thursday evening ' s post :-rMr . O'Connor requested me to visit as many as I could this morning , in order to ascertain the particulars for our readers , as great excitement and anxiety exists , both in Manchester and all the surrounding districts . 1 st . I treat to Mr . Williain Swires , hat manufacturer , in Thomas-street . I knocked at the door , and a very respectable young woman opened it . She was then in tears , and her eyes very much swelled as though she had been long weeping . Having Mr . Campbell with me , on learning my errand , ehe showed us the room in which the old gentleman , who is upwards of sixty years of age , lay . On approaching his bed , I Saw a figure resembling the

      shape of a man's face ; buf , as for features , they could not be discerned . His face was cut in seven different places , besides several deep gashes in his head . He was nearly blaok and blue all over his shoulders , body , and legs . One of his ribs is broken , and two others so injured , that it was with difficulty the Doctor could tell whether , for a while , they were broken or not . On offering him my hand , he made an attempt to raise his , but his screama were piercing , in consequence of the pain . His wife says every time he stirs he groans dreadfully . He was beaten with , sticks , pokers , and other weapons ^ thrown off the platform , and jumped upon . Mr . Harwood , in attempting to rescue him , had his head lacerated in four or five places—received many kicks and blows about his body . :

      2 nd , We were then shewn into another room , where lay a young man , who was the husband of the young woman who opened the door . His name is Tho . Swires , nephew of William Swires . He reciaived his wounds while trying to protect and rescue his uncle . He has many deep and serious gashes about his head and face " ; his arms are black with blows from the sticks , and he ia bruised besides from head to foot . JHe would have received more , only one of the villains cried that "he had enough . " He could not walk , and had to be brought home in the carriage with his uncle . James Heap and Mrs . Kennedy came home with them . Ho suffers much from his wounds . The sheets and shirt of the- unfortunate man Were saturated with blood . The doctor tells him he will be oonfined to his bed for a long time , even if hn recover at all , ;'

His hand lame ; his eye nearly knocked out ; his head cut in three places ; his clothes covered with blood . The hat which he wore was cut in five places . He is black and blue from head to feet ; and in his shoulder there is a hole which to look at is truly horrifying , made by a nail which

      wasi in the table leg with which he was struck by one of the bludgeon men . One side of his face is dreadfully disfigured . He is very ill , and will be a long time before he can do any work . He is upwards of sixty years of age , a sound Ghartist , and was acquainted with the O'Connor family . Although very bad , - ; he says he would lose "his life for either Feargus or the priuciples of which he is the advocate . Whilst he was defending himself , he received a blow which knocked him senseless , during which time he lost or somebody took four half-crowns and a shilling from his pocket .

      5 th . Mr . Tfaomaa Railton , member of the towncouncil . Mefsrs Fielding , Growcott , and Campbell was . . ' with' me when I visited this man . On entering the room he looked at us , and with difficulty raised his hand for us to shake . Oii being asked how he was , ho said he was like Mr . O'Connor ; he had got the six points of the Charter , meaning his wounds , his cuts , bruises , and his arm broken ; and had also the bump of No Surrender . His arm had been set , and the doctor told him that even if he took very great care of himself he would bo confined to his bed for three weeks . 7 ^ , . ; .. - ¦ 7 6 th . The Rev . Mr .
