      LONDON . —A public meeting was held at Hampstead on Tuesday evening last , on behalf of the masons on strike . Mr . Christopher ably presided over the meeting . Mr . Wood , delegate from the Masons' Committee , in an eloquent ad . dre . S 3 , which occupied an hour in its delirery , detailed the past proceedings and the present position of the masons , and was loudly applauded . Mr . Warrington moved a resolution , condemning the conduct of Messrs . Grissell and Peto , in retaining Allen in their service , and pledging them to support the men who-bad struck in vindication of the violated rights of justice and humanity . Mr . Grorer ably seconded ihe resolution , which was supported , in his usual talented manner , by Mr . Kuffy Ridley . Several other speakers addressed the meeting , and a subscription , for the benefit of the men now on strike , was entered into .

      BRIGHTON . — "Extremessometimes meet . " —A case of this kind has happened m Brighton , that no sooner was known than the news flew like wildfire . On Monday morning last , to those who were present , was seen a sight that will not be forgotten for many a day ; and what would the good readers of the Star think it was ? Why , Feargus O'Connor , the chieftain of the Chartists of England , arm in arm with the very reverend modest Ticar of Brighton , he who stopped the clock , trudging up Church Hill to the Brighton Workhouse ! The facts of the case are these : —Mr , O'Connor was ont walking ; he came to the church-yard of St . Nicholas , and , meeting a person , asked him how he could get a look at the workhouse \ The "Vicar , who was officiating at a

      funeral , hastily spoke to Mr . O'Connor , that if he wouldwait a " few moments , he should be very glad to shew him the workhouse , ho being one of the Guardians of the poor . Mr . O'Connor waited , and , in waiting , a working man recognised him , and quietly asked him if he knew who he had been talking to 1 Mr . O'Connor explained ; and the man replied , " That that was the fellow who stopped the clock I" Mr . O'Connor , though takea rather aback , was not dismayed at the awful sound ; and presently was seen the Rev . Vicar and Feargus O'Connor walking together to the workhonse . Mr . O'Connor was much gratified at the comfort of the inmates exhibited to him , Brighton being governed by an Act of its own ; and , after spending an hour

      aim a half , and also going over the new burial ground that has cost the parish so much , bade the Rev . Gentleman in black good morning . The Vicar knew not , from first to last , who was his distinguished visitor ; but Mr . O'Connor knew his man , and expressed to us in the evening , amidst the laughter of his friends , the pleasant companion he had had in visiting . the Brighton Workhouse . Whether Mr . O'Connor instilled the Chartist principles into the mind of the Hev . Gentleman we do not know ; if he has fortunately done so , we trust the respected Vicar will lose no time in letting his flock have the benefit of his conversion . Of all the choice pic nics , this is , to us in Brighton , a beautiful one : in fact , we may say that the town is convulsed with laughter from one end to the other . —Correspondent .

      Haworth . —On Easter Monday the officers and brethren of Court Mount Ararat , No . 86 , of the Ancient Order of _ Foresters , assembled for the pnrposa of celebrating their elerenth anniversary when about seventy of the brethren partook of an excellent dinner provided by Mr . William Turner . After the brethren had done ample justice to the good things placed before them , things which ought every day to grace the tables of son 3 of toil , they repaired to their Court Room , for the dispatoh of business , at the close of which it was announced by the Secretary that the Court and the Order generally were in a most prosperous and flourishing state .

      XtEFTON . Mysterious Disappearance . Samuel Swallow , blacksmith , Gawxhorp-green , Lepton left his lodgings on th « 9 th of March last , to go to Huddersfield , and haying been oat of work for some time called upon a sister of his and borrowed half a sovereign . Be was next seen at the Plumber ' s Arms , a little the worse for liquor . He left the house about nine o ' clock quite alone , and has never been heard of since . It is thought he has come to an untimely end . He is single , aged thirty-five , middle size , fair complexion , and sandy hair . I « is hoped thai this notice" will meet the eyes of some one who may have seeu him , as his relatives are in great distress respecting him .

      ROCHDALE . —Royal Artists . —On Easter Tuesday , the Is ' o . 5 Lodge , belonging to tho United Order of Royal Artists , held its anniversary at the house of Mr . James Butterworth , Tanner ' s Arms , J&mes ' s-sweet , Rochdale . BLACKBtTRN . —Silkweaters . —For a great length of time the power-loom weavers of Blackburn have suffered various reductions in their wages , nntil they are reduced 26 per cent , from theirformer earnings , which masters are not content with , but we mast still suffer ourselves to be further robbed of onr hard earnings . Yon must know that the proprietors of the Brookhouse Mills , have introduced patent looms into their mill 3 , which in

      themselves are a reduction to the weaver of one penny in the shilling ; we had , on their introduction , since ebrisjmas last , a further reduction of two-pence in the shilling , which we submitted to ; we have bow had a further notice of three-half-pence in the shilling , making in the whole threepence-halfpenny in the shilling since christmas last . Against such a shameful robbery , we , the power-loom weavers of the Brookhouse Mills , have determined to make a stand , being determined not to submit without a siruggle , and call upon our suffering fellow workmen , to assist us in resisting such tyranny , well snowing that if we submit quie : ly we must suffer a still further reduction .

      MANCHESTER . —Destruction op Battt's Cizcvs st Pjee . —On Saturday night , about twenty minutes to twelve o ' clock , information was given at the Town Yard that Batty ' s Circus , Great Bridge-street , was on fire . Mr . Rose immediately proceeded to the place with three engines , and four or five water carts ; but , before his arrival , the flames had progressed so far that it was utterly impossible to save the building . He , therefore , directed his attention to the preservation of the surrounding property , which was in imminent danger . On one side of the circus , Mr . Matthew Brougham ' s timber-yard , which was nearly filled with stock , a great portion of which was lying against the burning building : and , on the other

      side , the' extensive factory belonging to Messrs . Royle and Crompton , required the most active , and strenuous exertions to save them from the flames . Upwards of 4 U 0 panes of glas 3 in the factory were broken by the heat , and by the force of the water which was played on them to prevent the fire from communicating with the windows . Mr . . Rose had persons stationed inside of the several windows facing the circus , in order to extinguish any sparks that might get in through the broken paDes . An engine was rationed at the back of the Circus , for the purpose of preventing the flames from communicating with the Albion Mills . Mr . Rose aiid the firemen exerted themselves with their usual energy ; and'itis creditable to them to say , that- the

      entire damage to the surrounding property will be covered by ahoni £ 50 . Mr . Wells , who had tbe CireQ 3 hired ior exhibiting feats of horsemanship in it during the Easter week , performed there on Saturday night ; and with much difficulty succeeded j a getting vul his horses and most of the properties . Two trailed dogs and a monkey perished in the flames . , Mr . Weils ' s losses are estimated at about £ 2 oO , besides what he might have realised from his performances dnring the present week . The fire was completely extinguished about three o ' clock on Sunday morning . The building is a complete wreck , aitd we have nor ascertained -whether it was in ~ nred . r ^ o clue 10 the origin of the fire has been discovered .

      LEEDS . —A Hopeful Son . —On Monday last , two youths named Thomas Taylor and tt * m . Lowe , were charged before the Leeds Borough Justices , tbe former with having broken open a secretaire in Lis mover's house , and stolen £ 10 ; and the other with beiDg privy thereto . Mrs . Taylor is a widow , residing m Sykes-street , York Road , and the conduct of young Taylor , since his father's death , has f > een such as to render his mother's life miserable . As-a last resource , she had him bound apprentice to t e sea ; bo : after a voyage or two he ran away , and has now been for some time at home , where hi 3 evil genius seem 3 to have made him the terror of his family . On Snuday afternoon , during his mother ' s temporary absence , he bxoke open the drawer , stole the money , and left the house . Mrs . Tivlor did not discover her loss till about

      nine o clock at nignt , and she then gave information to the police , by whose exertions Taylor was found , and it appearing that Lowe , who only bears a bad character , had been with him at Harewood Bridge , where they had spent money pretty freely , he was apprehended nl ~ o . It was also discovered that Taylor had left £ 8 in the hands of Mr . Laycock , the Masons' Arms , in St . James-street . Mrs . Taylor shrunk from pre ? sii 3 g tbe charge against her son , and consequently ihere being another case of felony against him , both of them were remanded nntilTu 6 sday , on which day Taylor was again charged with having stolen a top coat , the property of Mr . B . Purday , assistant to Mr . Foster , surgeon , Kirkgate . He nad the great coat on when he was apprehended on - Sunday night , snd it was stated to have been stolen on Friday night . On this flhar ^ e he was committed for trial . Lowe was discharged .

      Relief op the Pools . —The committee for the management ' and distribution of the fund for the relief of those suffering for want of employment , met on Monday last , at the Court House , the Rev . Dr . Hook in the chair . It was stated that the renewed subscriptions , which were solicited in accordance with a resolution pa ? sed at a meeting of the committee , held on the " 21 st n 3 t ., amounted to upwards of £ 800 , and that the total sum in hand was aboui £ 830 . " The visitors' reports showed that continued distress prevails to a very large extent amongst those dependent upon trade and manufactures ; and it was resolved to continue relief upon tbe reduced ? cale , , 1 . ( 3 d . a week to adulrs , and Is . to children ) , and that the committee should meet next Monday , to take into consideration what further rn . ea 5 . ureB it will be necessary to adopt .

      inn , the Three Legs , in Call-lane . Mrs . Blundell took the bill , but afterwards suspecting that all was BOt right , contrived to get back her goods , and wrote to . Messrs . Fox and Co ., on the Bubject , who denied that the prisoner was connected in any way with them , as well as all knowledge of the bill in question . Mr . Fox ' s deposition to this effect was taken on Wednesday , and on Saturday Mr . Booking attended for the purpose of attesting that the acceptance was not his , nor had he authorised the prisoner to sign it ; he had in fact no connexion with him . The magistrates being satisfied , committed the prisoner to York Castle for trial at the next assizes .

      CONTICTIOS UNDER THE WORSTED ACT . —Thomas Sykes , a clothier , at Pudsey Hough , was on Thursday last brought before the magistrates , under the provisions of the Worsted Act , charged with having in his possession a quantity of wool , of which 'ho could give no account . He had been previously brought up and remanded on Wednesday week . Policeman Hague and Thompson , in consequence of information which they bad received , went to the prisoner ' s house , and looking through the window , Baw him busily engaged in sorting a quantity of wool . They went in , and asked him where he had got it .

      He said he had bought it of a neighbour for Is . 8 d a pound . In reply to a further question ,, he said he had got no invoice of it , and was then told that he and the wool must go with them , upon which he exclaimed , " I am done . " On the road to Leeds , he offered £ 6 to policeman Hague ta say nothing about it , but the offer was of course rejected . There was about lOOlbs . of wool , of a quality which Mr .

      [ advertisement . ] CHARTIST BLACKING . Brother Chartists , —In compliance with the wishes of many of my customers , arid , also to meet the circumstances of the Chartist Associations , inasmuch as it is not always convenient to send so far as Hull for blacking , I have made arrangements for supplying Lancashire , West of : Yorkshire , and London , carriage free , with any quantity of blacking , from half a gross and upwards , at the same price as at the manufactory . Mr . Wright ; Brooke-street , Stockporiv will travel for orders in Lancashire , and will always have a supply , on hand , in Manchester and other places . . ¦ . ¦ ' ¦¦ i ^ Y . ' ? ' Sntite will alwaysihayp a stock by him , whereby the Chartists of Leeds may be supplied .

      Mr . Stallwood will also supply the people of London with any quantity , after the 10 th of April , And there is one thing which I : would have you to bear in mind , which is that my Blacking is not only more brilliant , but tt is more durable than almost-. . ' any other ; and the reaspu of this superiority is , that component which gives the lustre and durability I give you in a much greater prpportiou than most other blackingrmakers do ; and the reason why it is so sparingly uaed by many is , that it is the most expensive part of the compound ; but I , being of a different opinion to the " Devil ' s Dust " Manufacturers , am resolved that tho people shall not have a bad article from me .

      ANOTHER CASE OF DESTITUTION AND DEATH . On Saturday evening , a long investigation was gone into before Mr . Payne , the city coroner , on the body of Ellen Sexton , aged 48 , a prisoner in the City Bridewell , Bridge-street , Biaekfriars , whose death took place under the following circumstances : — _ Ellen Sexton , a prisoner , deposed—The deceased was my mother , and was a widoiv . Wo wero committed to prison together that day month . For four months previous to that occasion we had no place to go to , and for two days and nights we had had nowhere to lay our heads , and nad not tasted food for the same time . We applied at the

      West London Union Workhouse for relief , which was denied us . We were then quite destitute , and walked as far as Cannon-street , where we broke a window purposely to get the shelter of a prison . We were taken to the Mansion House , and being unable to | pay for the window were committed for a month to hard labour * My mother was not put on the treadmill * not being able to bear it . She had a bed to sleep on , and I slept with her . On Friday morning , we got up about a quarter to six ; deceased was then quite well . She went into the reading-room , and 1 left her ; about eigbfc o ' clock I was sent for , and on going up ' stairs ; , found her dead .

      By the Jury . —We were very kindly treated m prison , and were more comfortable than we had been for some time before we were sent there . My mother was affected with a shortness of breath . We applied at the VVest-street workhouse , but they would not take us in or g ' ive us relief . The Coroner said , they were bound to relieve them as casual poor . A Guardian of the union , who was present said , he thought the witness had made a mUtake , as relief was never denied . He wished to know positively the day on which application was made , as he should feel it his duty to make strict inquiry into the matter . .. ¦ The witness sajd , that it was that very day month . A Juror said , by tho witness ' s statement it appeared that two prisoners slept in one bed . He wished to know from the governor the reason of it .

      The Governor said th © prison wa 3 Sp full that not only were three persons compelled to sleep ia one fcod , but many who could not be provided with bads were compelled to lie upon tho iloor . This was owing to the number committed in a destitute state , who broke windows , Sec , to get the shelter of the gaol , Eleanor Redding said—I was in the room set apart for the "incapables" ( prisoners not able to work , ) on Friday morning , about eight o'clock , when the deceased camo in , who said to mo , ' * I have had such a singular dream—sit down and I'll tell it you . " The deceased sat down , and I was about to dp the same , when she fell forward . I immediately lifted her up and found her dead . ; By the Jury—Sho was very kindly treated in pr ison , aed was never put on the mill . She was eating a piece of bread when the came into the room .

      Mr . Charles Holding , of Bridge-street , surgeon , said deceased was dead when he was called in . He could not state the precise cause of her death , but in his opinion it arose from a disease of the heart . The Coroner said , that the present case was one out of the many they heard of , of persons breaking windows to get the shelter of a prison , which they preferred to the workhouse . As regarded the refusal of relief they had only the statement of the daughter , and if the Jury wished to go into the truth of that statement the inquiry must be adjourned . With respect to the question of tho New Poor Law , he trusted that it would be greatly improved . From what he knew of the Governor of the prison he had not the least doubt but the deceased had been kindly treated , and that her incarceration had prolonged instead of shortened her life . The Jury not thinking it necessary to adjourn , returned a verdict of '' Natural Death . "

      TO MB . KOBEBT KEMP PHILP . Sir , —You are a member of the General Council of the National Charter Association ; so am I . The course you took , at the late Bath Conference of Sturgites , has called forth one general burst of disapprobation against you ; yon have not met this by argument , but by mere empty . assertion , and bombastic observations about mushroom . Caattiata . This style of language conies with a very ill grace from Mr . Philp ! and only furnishes additional evidence of your disaffection to Chartism .

      You affect to treat me and others with-supercilious contempt , which also proves you an aristocratic democrat You have been elected to the office you at present hold , in the Executive department , by -a majority of the National Charter Association . Yon know , also , that your recent conduct , as a public man , has boen directly opposed to tbe general policy of the Association , and 1 hold it as an opinion that the Association to ¦ which you belong maintains an authority and influence over every public act of its officers ; arid you have , in the moat direct and flagrant manner , rebelled against Such influence , with no other view than to injure the cause you have hitherto professed t& espouse . The working class suspect you of treachery to the principles they contend for ; you deny the justice of these accusations without condescending to offer any reasonable and honest defence . !

      Had you pursued a straightforward , even course , your efforts in the cause of political and social emancipation would have been ' - ' . gratefully appreciated and responded to by every right thinking Chartist in Britain ; instead of which they denounca you , and the working men ¦ will cast off every leader whose public acts will not stand the test of scrutiny .-You ridicule tko idea of a man thinking himself unwortfey ; but yon have not even attemptw ) 1 t 0 proVe a single allegation contained in the Nottingham resolution as false ; your silence on the charges preferred against you by the Chartists of almost every town in the empire , is tantamount to guilty . surround

      It can be no pleasure to . any body of men to their fellow man with suspicions , much less oae who has hitherto laboured hard to gain them freedom ; then why are you so waspish and ill-natured Vfith those who have hitherto supported and applauded you ? Are you stin faithful to them ?—prove it , and I will be the first man to tender you the right hand of fellowship ; but I never can consent to compromise one iota of the Six Points of the People ' s Charter , neither'will . I ever act with men who would consest to mix up any other question wiih the Chartist agitation . I am , a Six Point Ckartiat , And no surrender , WM . RUSSELL . Nottingham / March 30 th , 1842 .

      If the lecturer , Mr . O'Connor , had said anything to excite them , or had . anything in my conduct been oub of order , or improper , they might have nacl some excuse ; but neither he , nor myself , nor any of the Chartists , had said or done anything to caUse such a violent attack . . I have to thank some man , ( at present unknown to me , ) who , after the chair was thrown off the piatform , stood in front of mo , saying , he would protect rm > ; and after I received the blow on the mouth ana chin with tne paving Stone , be expressed his sorrow , and said he would do his best to prevent me from being injured , even to the risk of hi 3 life . O , my friends , if you could have seen the men in that Hbll the following night , and have felt the strong influence of determination to protect Mr . O'Connor and his Chairman , as well as any other ef the Chartists , it would have endeared them to your hearts , and / would have made you forget , or glory in your wounds !

      I have lived in Manchester now upwards of thirty years , but I never beheld siicD a glorious procession as we had on Good Friday last , on the occasion of laying the foundation stone for a monument to the late Henry Hunt / Esq :,. ' on my premises , and the excitement was stronger than it would otherwise have been , in consequence of what had bccmiryd on the 8 th inst . Also , it is not out of place t : ? tell you that the Cora Law Repealers imtl in tended having a grand demonstration , on Easter Monday , but the Chartist procession has taken the shiue out of them , and it is , like other of their attempts , an abortion . I remain , Youra faithfully and very respectfully , J . SCHOIEFIELO . Every-street , Manchester , March 29 , 1842 .

      BARTLETT v . VINCENT , PHILP , ROBERTS , AND WILLIAMS ( OF SUNDERLANDj . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Slit , —Allow me , through tha medium of your paper , to do an act of justice to a young man at present in your employ as reporter , Mr G . Bartlett , who has had to bear the brunt ot the tateiifced charges of three ot the above-niwuert individuals and , last week , the somewbat superfluous and mean insinuation of Mr , J . Williams , who eaith he " prefers to believe Messrs . Vincent and Philp because b « knows them , and tho country knows them , and not Mr . Bartlett . "

      Now I am not aware that his or the country ' s kuowing any individual wijl make or keep them bonest <| consistent ; and I beg to say that JLknow . Mr . Battlett , have known him some years , have laboured with him in the good cause ; the people of Bath know him , If the country , does not ; but he is nevertheless honest , for not having the good fortune to have travelled through the country as a lecturer , and therefore not receiving a c&untry ' s praise . 1 would now state what I now cau call to memory of Mr . Bsrtlett , for the information of Mr . W . and your readers generally : — The two Bartletts ^ George and Simuel , have done much to serve tUe cause of Chartism , in Bath and Trowbrulge , from its first manifestation . They joined the Bath Working Men ' s Association at a very unpropitioU 8 time .

      Just as Roebuck and Palmer were ousted from the representation of the city , the people were excited by their defeat ; I could gftt ; none among us to come boldly forth to call a public meeting , and address the public upon our principles .. The middle class had destroyed the old Union , ami deserted the cause of Radical Reform , and were desirous of doing away , as now , with the very name ; .- by thorn was the Liberal Association formed ; the Bartletts were : Uike eager to extend our views , and increase our Association . We succeeded in getting the use of ; i room at the Temperance Coffee

      House , Saw , Closo . George Bartlett , your reporter , drew up our first addres 3 ; it tras , after being adopted , printed as a placard , and circulated . Numbers flocked to our ro « tms . Here George and his brother signalised themselves in advocating our principles , which be hath not ceased to do at almost every meeting held since . This Is much from an vjiiorant young nun . He is also the person who wroto in the old /'' indicator , under tbe title of Publicola- If services are to be the test of honesty here you have them , and I see not wherefyra local services should be despised because they wero not more extended .

      I have often beard Mr . Bolwell , the chairman at the meeting to consider Sturge ' s motion , state that Bartlett bad taught him politics ; and indeed if you refer to his letters , or speeches , you '' will not find them interior in general information , or argument , to Mr . Philps . True > he has not lungs sufficiently strong to make himself beard far in large meetings , a natural quality that the other gentleman may be able to boaBt of . SJomuchfoi Mr . Philps ' a insinuation of ignorance ; but of the charge , of not honestly reporting these gentlAien ' a words , Mr . Marriott , Of Bristol , says at the meeting , it was true in spirit though perhaps not the exact words , and in what Mr . V ., P ., and B , write , they confirm the fact , of true in spirit . They admit they supported Sturge ' s motion , and this is Henry Vincent who htkV& continually , at public meetings , and in his

      old f indicator , been telling us with words of fire , to stand by our Charter , not turn to the right band nor to tho left , not to go after Educational Suffrage , Household Suffrage , or anything but the Charter . TUb is he who hath bo oft and eloquently ridiculed Daniel O'Conhe l's instaUment-get- 'what-you-can system , yet 'will go for Mr . Sturge ' s installment , indefinite , complete humbug without details , as a great way towards the Charter . Verily he is another Daniel come to judgment J Western Chartists / keep together and choose another leader ; shout the entireCharter and O'Connor .

The speech of Sir William M'Naghten , which has been so much lauded as a pure specimen , of Christianity and patriotism , that '' death is preferable to- , dishonour , and that we put our trust in the " God of Battles , and in His name defy them , " is ia

      my opinion a piece of horrible blasphemy . What an idea must Buch people entertain of the " Creator of -thd universe" to suppose ; that he would sanctify their crimes , and throw the mantle « f bis protection over their ruthlesa massacres , while " ten thousand festering and putrid corpses M-ere , tainting the air and spreading disease and death around . " Would men in their senses appeal thus to a God of Mercy , or to whom then do tuty thus ; insanely and blasphemonsiy appeal in their distress ? .. Far different is my idea of what ia due to » God of love and mercy , and I should hope that the people of England will not second the aristocracy iix their flre-breathiog determination of hopeless anU powerless reyenge . Tnifii they may send teutliousand raoremea to Affghanistan . True , the Horse Guards may ransact

      England , Scotland , Ireland , and Wales , and drain our remaining colonies for ihe ph ^ ical force necessary to feed the revenge of our moral force Goyernment , and through Sir HenryHardinge or some other fire-eater may inflict on tie .

Afghanistan may become adesert , and ; theinhabltaEt 3 may be massacred , aeld OS slaves , and not one stone left of their habitations to tell the tale of devastation , wuere all formerly vras bappiness , plenty and peace ! And why all this ? And where is the power , I should liko to know , capable of carrying into execution such fiend-like and desperate wickedness ? The aristocracy of England have issued the . mandate , and the universal world must bow down to its resolve { : ' The universal world may , 1 presume , arrive at a far different conclusion . Why , the wretched creature is in itself in a death struggle , and its denunciations are but the ravings of withering and blighted ambition , 'and . it knows its position in England as littleaaH knowaitsreal position in India !

      " Not only in Hindostan ; but everywhere obstaclea and enemies have seemed to melt before our arms or our policy . . Wisely or unwisely , justly o ? uDjustly , it seemed that we had but to move , and our work was done ! till we had begun to think , as -with the unbappy CninssOt that our will was law as welf as power , ana that it was an abaurdity to suppose that forbidden which British-interest , or glory , seemed to require . At last , there has come a shock , and now , as it has not prospered , men dare call it treason I " Physical force has not altogether governed India ; our mighty power has been hitherto the power ef opinion ! What could our thirty or forty thousand European troops avail in Hindostan alone , distributed , as they are , in small sections , throughout tho vast Peninsula , without the aid cf half a million of native

      soldiery , regulars and irregulars , receiving John . Company ' s pay , and doing his behests , as long as they find it convenient , and while John . Company ' s star ifl in the ascendant ! When that star begins to wane the prestige that has followed bur atius , that has made our Euiopeana all but domi-gods , that powet of opinion which hua clung to us , and upheld us , will fl' 3 e froni us aa speedily as tre formerly obtained itif And wh 8 t has beea the cause , of all this ? Simply because , like fools , -we must needH ciyjl . z 9 tlie natives , make them as wise aa ourselves , or rather show them in practice , that we are not the imaginary aud superior beiDgs they once bowed down to ; that we are frail mortals like themselves , and that our power is nothing substantial ; and could not be upheld one day without theii : assistance .

      In their ignorance and simplicity they imagined the East India Company , some strange old woman , or , Bsgum , that she rilled over , a nation of-wondrous animals , whoposaessed and ruled over half tbe world ; that they were Invariably conquerors ,, and by their arts , arms , . "• and civilisition , they were never beaten , that it was madness to oppose their will . They dreaded their newrborn power ,, and after some short Btruggies , they liuked themselves to the old Seguin ' a chariot wheels J \ Such were * the prevailing ideas respecting the English , and although rebellions , mutinies , massacres , and discontent , occasionally sprung np , by dividing tha people , and urging them to strife among themselves , and when they were exhausted grasping the prey , and reaping all the benefits of warfare when none dared to say them nay ! . ¦ . ¦ •' : . , " : ' '¦ : ' v .. - ¦ . ¦ ¦' ...

      By these , and similar mear . a , they obt ^ ned a footing in India , which it was thought could never be shaken . Even now , people who ought ; to know better , talk of sending bar thousauds but to India as a matter of course , and that these reinforcements will settle our affair in the East in a very short time after landing , and Sir HeniyHardingej like Ca 33 ar , has but to appear and all is arranged , —vent , vidi , «!« , — " I came , saw , and conquered ! " People of England < I would warn you of what is likely to take place in India for the sake of our brethren . about to mix in this unholy Wftifare , and

      for our own sakea here at home , Kememijer you must pay all txpences out of your labour , and your miserable crust will bo furtUer taxed to take a hopeless revenge on people -who have never - ' injured you .

      We have no' chance of success in Cabul or in the East , eventually .

      THE MANCHESTER OUTRAGE . TO THE EDITOR : OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Dear SIR , —I feel I shall not be discharging my duty to the Imperial Chartists if I further delay making , through the medium of the Stor , my grateful acknowledgments for the sincere expressions of sympathy and the public vote qf thanks from the numerous a 8 aociatlons throughout England , and which have been echoed back again even from the city of Dublin . To make such acknowledgment to any ona association in particular would appear invidious ; I therefore respectfully beg to assure them all that I have only two marks , one on my nose and the other , on my lip j and for the sake of the people ' s cause I ba ^ e moio reason to glory in them than ,, to be ashamed . I am convinced that the assault has made , and will make ,, thousands of converts to the principles of the Charter ; and it has given Bucb an imp&tns to it that , Vibe the rolling of a

      vast avalanche , nopower can retard . Mr . O'Connor freely forgives them : it is well . But I am taught by the Gospel of Jeyus to see the fruits of repentance before they are entitled to forgiveness . And this is the evidence I require , namely , that they become members of the Chartist Association ,- and help us to obtain the Charter—then I can forgive , and call them brethren . I also think my request is not : an unreasonable one : it would be something in tne way of atonement ; for I never witnessed such an unprovoked attack , and never wish to see such a one again . It is only an act of justice , from all I can learn , to Bay that the anti-Corn Law League , as such , bad not anything to do with it . How far theperpet * fttors of the violence calculated on their . coiintenaDce and approbation , I cannot Bay .

      MR . O'BRIEN IN EDINBURGH . TO . TUE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —I perceive that Mr . H . Ranken , who was Chairman of the last meeting that Mr . O-Brieu aUended in this city , has written you to correct certain alleged mis-statements , iu the notice I sent you of that meeting . Mr . R . denies that there were , as stated in the report , three votes taken . I deny that any such thing ia stated in the report . If Air . R . takes the trouble to read ii over again , he will find that the first two allusions to a show of hands ; refer to one and the same . Mr . R ' s . style of English is a peculiar one , if he coaoludes that throe difierentallusipns to a show of hands in an article , must mean three

      different and distinct show of hands , he misht , with equ * l safety , on this priliciplo , come to the conclusion that more than three Chairmen presided over the meeting , and that at least , half-a-dozen of the name of O'iJrien addressed it ! It is quite possible I may have mista , ken the vfording of the motion put . The Chairman ought certainly to know this better than a mere spectator . Although .- from my impressions being -recent , and Mr . R . ' s at least a fortnight old ^ the difference is in this- case little or nothing . Be thataa it may , and granting , for argument ' s sake , that the vote was taken precisely as Mr . K . says , nothing is more manifest than that the point matters not a Eingle pin ' s head one way or t ' other ! The eentiinents of the meeting is the real thing to be attended to , while the mere mariner of testing it is of no earthly moment . Had I v ^ ritten in such a way as to lead

      the . reader to conclude that the meeting were less friendly disposed to Mr » t > unoan ' s views than they really were , then Mr . Ranken might have some cause to come forward and do "justice to all parties . " But , when the real truth was ( asMr . Ranken has not denied , aud aa he cannot deny ) that Mr . Duncan ' s views met with no support at all from the meeting , and that all present , so far as a spectator could see ( with the exception of Mr . D ; himself ) , were in favour of Mr . O'lirien ' s views , what a farce it is for any person to come forward " in j ustice to all parties , " and dispute the manner of taking the vole I If Mr . Charies Duncan or Mr . Ranken can produce a single doeen oi the many hundreds present who thought Mr ; D . right and Mr . O'B . wrong , they will certainly achieve more than I can believe them capable of ; If not , the reader will duly estimate the force of the " mis-Btatement . "

      The other " mis " -statment is that I spoke of a certain part of Mr . C . Duncaa ' s views , as beirig to the effect that " an aristocracy and iooneyderacy were easential to a state . " Mr . Ranken declares his belief that Mr . Duncan ' s statement was not to that effect—my belief is that it was . Fortunately , however , ( since the subject mutter of disenssion was Mr D's letter , ) any reader who chooses to turn to it in the Star % and who can see his way through itj inay satisfy himself as to whether Mr . Ranken a belief or mine be the correct one . r I see no olher mis-statement even alleged , and trusting this will satisfy Mr . Ranken , . '¦'•¦; . I remain , - Yours obediently , The \ Vbiteb of tjhb Report . Edinburgh . March 28 , 1842 , . . .

      P . S . —Having contradicted Mr . Rankeh ' a statements in no particular , but where the truth Can be fieen by referring to your own paper , I Bee no gQOd end to be terved by giving my name , otherwise I should have done so .

      Upper Wortlet . —On Good Friday , a tea party and soiree took place in the Association Room . Sixty s&t down to tea , and as many as the room would hold were admitted after , each paying threepence . A more lively aud interesting scene the Chartists of Wonley never witnessed . Great praise is due to Mr . J . Hill and his friends , for the very active part they took during the evening . Several sentiments were given , to which the Rev . William Hill , and Messrs . Smith , Frazer , and Stonehouse

      responded . The getting np of the tea reflected great credit upon the masaging committee . Every thing was conducted in a quiet and orderly manner . At a meeting of the members of the UpperWortley Charter Association , held on Monday , the 28 t . li of March , 1842 , it was resolved that the subscriptions , amonntmg to 8 j . 3 d ., be forwarded to Mr .
