      TO THE GENZRAL SECEKTABT OF IHE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIN . Hnll , July 13 , 1 S 42 . Sib ., —Anxiously alive to the appreciation at its due weieht of every movement in which the interest of our Ifadonal Charter Society may be concerned , and believing that it ¦ will be so less your pleasure than your duty to afford all necessary information to those -who have a right to ask it from you , we , the General ConncfllorE resident in Hnll , mate no apology for troubling yon with this letter . Ten will probably agree with us , that nothing can bt of more consequence to the

      prosperity a :. d usefulness of our Society , than that the General Council and the members generally should have implicit coMBOenoe in the Executive Committee , and that nothing nn be more calculated to uphold that confidence than the existence of a perfect understanding by them of the money transactions of . the Executive . Hence it is natural and right that the published Balance Sheets should be closely examined and distinctly understood ; and in order to this , it is necessary that they shonld be made as clear and unambiguous in their details as possible .

      "We have had no opportunity of consulting onr fellowconncillors in other parts of the empire npon the subject , but we see no reason to think that their opinion will differ frem onr own in this matter ; and we therefore feel more directly impelled , by a sense of duty , to inform you that , in our opinion , the Balance Sheet published in the Northern Star of Saturday last , needs much explanation to enable us rightly to comprehend it . We csn hare no doubt that you are perfectly able to afford that information which is requisite to make all ** jat may be tow d&rk and unintelligible to us perspicuous and satisfactory ; and we hasten , therefore , at once to the laying before you of such hints for the improvement of your general systtm of beeping accompts , and such requests for information , as to several of its items , as this Balance Sheet suggests to us .

      In the first place we think the Balance Sheet deficient in its general contents . Onr idea of a Balance Sheet is that it should present an exact statement of the whole pecuniary affairs of the society ; tfeat debts and liabilities should appear nm its surface as well ar actual cash transactions . We think tse country ought to be informed , not merely what money the Executive hare receiYed and expended , but what , if anything , is owing to them by each and every locality , for cards and for their share ef members' contributions respectively ; and also what the Executive owe . if anything . We feel quite rare that a general and full statement of this kind would give much satisfaction and do much cood .

      We think also that much dissatisfaction is likely to be engendered by the fact that no dates are affixed to any of the items in the column of receipts by the Exeentive . This seems to be a slovenly way of doing business . We think srerj sum of cash received should have its appropriate date ; there is doubtless some good reason why this is not so , and we should feel better satisfied if we knew that reason . The lumping of the monies received from each locality , in one sum , seems also to be objectionable . It would be more satisfactory if the precise sources of emolument

      Were stated ; that is , if the statement from each locality specified how much was paid for cards , and when ; how much for members' subscriptions , &c . We think the receipts from the Siar office should be particularised , and not given in one gros 3 lump . We think also that the column of cards should contain not only the number of cards issued during the quarter , but also the tota number issued to each locality ; and we are further of opinion that the interest of the Association suffers much from the issuing of cards without cash . We recommend that in future this practice be entirely discontinued .

      Tens much we have ventured in the way of general intimation as to what , in onr opinion , would make the Balance Sheets of the Exeentive in future more perrpieioas and satisfactory to the country than this one . We now draw your attention to some matters of expenditure , npon which we shall be happy to receive more information than the Balance Sheet affords . We find the sum of £ 9 is Id . put down for postage from the 30 th of April to the 25 th of June inclusive , a period of no more than eight weeks and one day . Now we take for granted , that al : letters received by the Executive will be pre-paid , and that this sam of £ 9 4 s . Id . is to be considered as expended in the pre-payment of letters sent . At one penny each , it will pre-psy 2 , 209 letters , and whether this be considered as applying to the eight weeks within the dates , or to the whole quarter , it appears to us to be an amount of correspondence almost incredible .

      We bike for granted that , in accordance with his duty specified by the organization of the society ; the General Secretary transact * all the business-correspondence of the society , and yet we find that on the 8 th of April , in the present Balance Sheet , the country is charged , in addition to the expences of the Secretary , with £ 110 s . 2 d . for the postages of three other members of the Executive , viz : —Mr . Philp 103 . 6 d ., Mr . Williams 9 s . 8 i , aid Dr . il'DonalllOs . We wish to know how this is ? It appears to us

      that the country ought net to be called on to pay the postage of all the personal correspondence of every memhei of the Exeeutlre Committee . We -wish also for an explanation of the fact that this charge occurs only once . Did these gentlemen incur no expence of postage after the 8 th of April ? or are their postages , after that , thrown into one lamp along with those of the General Secretary . » And if so , why the people are charged with any postages at all , but those of the General Secretary fairly incurred in attending to the business of the Association ?

      We observe that for the week between the 3 rd and the lOtk of June , the Earn , of £ 1 13 s . 8 d . is charged for postage . We remember that in that week resolutions of confidence in a late member of the Executive were pasted at certain meetings in Manchester and the neighbourhood , and that to serve the purposes of his election contest these resolutions were sect in packets through the poet to the various sub-secretaries and a great number of other individuals in all parts of the country . We trish to be distinctly informed whether these pockets of resolutions form part of this charge cf £ 1 13 s . 83 . for that week ' s postage ?

      The plan of orgsnizition provides that & certain proportion of tfee expenees of the Exeentive shall be defrayed by the eenntry when they are employed in breaking vp rave grovrtd for the Association ; and we observe that various members of the Executive seem by the balance sheet to have been thus employed during the quarter to which it refers , as there are various charges for " agitating expences ;'' bnt in no case is it stated where " the labour was performed for which th- _ Be " agitating expences" are charged . We wish to know the reason of this omission . We wish particnlarly to

      know where Dr . M'Douall was agitating during the two weeks from the 3 rd to the 18 th of June . We wish also to be informed how it is tfcat M'Donall seems by the balance sheet to have been breaking vp new ground nearly the whole of the quarter , as his " agitating experces" are charged with as much regularity as his ¦ wwes , week by -wett We would gladly learn where he has been employed and where these expences have been incurred . We are further very anxious to learn bow it is that his " agitating expences" are charged the exact sum of 10 s . in addition to his 30 s . every week .

      There are yet a few other items that we tbink need explaining . On the llth of Maywe find charged £ & tor ' coach fare from I / ondon . " We wish to know Ijy ¦ whom and on what business this expence was incurred ? We find also on the 25 th of Jnne , 12 s . for " coach fare , " respecting which -we have to request similar information . AH these matters and things we find to be rife snbjects of painful comment among our members here . They apply to us for information , and we are driven therefore to apply to you , from whom we donbt not that we shall have it satisfactory fcnd in full . Folly expecting that you will enable us to meet fairly and satisfactorily the enquiries made of us , We are , Sir , Tour Brother Chartists , The Gbkbbal Coocilloes resident IM HULL .

      Signed on behalf and by request of the whole , Jas . Gbassbt , Sub-Sec To this letter an answer was received from Mr . Campbell , wfcfch BnfortWWtelJ " »» not transcribed into the Minute Book , and tto destroyed sJongwim Mr . eranby ' s other papers by hii "wife , after be left the district , on her learning that be waj included in the "Conspiracy" indictment Its general purport , however , maybe well gathered from the reply annexed , in which all its points are considered seriatim .

      respects , your answers to some of our qnestions may be deemed satisfactory ; but your letter , as a whole , is anything but satisfactory , and anything but what , as we thii : k , we had a right to expect from yon . You commence with an expression of " mortification " on account of onr last , and conclude with what we think to be a veiy ill-judged apology for the contumelious tone of your letter , a tone which we cannot ttoink to have been merited by anything contained in ours . Yon write , in apparent high dudgeon , about '' suspicion" and " censure , ' winch you seem wishful to

      represent as being urjostly entertained ami exercised , and as being , manifested in our letter . Sir , yon mistake . ' "When yen have learned better how to estimate your own position and the people ' s rights , yon will fee able to see clearly that that letter breathes not the slightest intimation of either suspicion or censure . Nothing could be further from our intention to take any position at which honest men and true democrats could be ofieB < 1 ed ; and we have yet to learn , after reviewing our letter to you , that it does txhibit us in any such posi--tion , or that iis contents are such as at all to justify the high tone of mingled defiance and contempt which characterises your present " long epistle . "

      We believe that by none of our brother Chartists have the labours and deserts of the Executive been more fully valued , and more highly appreciated , than by ourselves and our brother members resident in this locality . We desire to give the Executive , individually and collectively , all due credit ; and we admit that math credit is doe to them for their activity , and zeal , and perseverance in oar common cause ; but while we do this , we cannot for a moment admit the doctrine which the complaining tone of your letter covertly but clearly asserts—that any men , however excellent and patriotic , placed by the pesple ' s suffrages in a poaition so onerous , important , and responsible , as that of the Executive , can consistently consider their conduct above the question and investigation , and even , should it > e so directed , the " suspicion" and " censure" of

      the people with -n hose affairs they are entrusted . There was nothing in onr letter displacent or uncourteuus . We wrote » imply to request from you an explanation of s ^ me matters in the balance-sheet , of which , as we did not understand them , we had a perfect right to require an explanation ; not to say that it was necessary to enable na to satisfy our brethren , the members . We gave you at the same time—we hope most respectfully —some general intimations which we thought calculated to promote the advantage of our cause . As councillors it was not merely our right , but our duty , to do that ; and when you , Sir , hava learned to know that the Executive Committee are what their office specifies , an Executive and not a regnant body , you will have discovered that it was neither your right , nor your duty , to receive that intimation otherwise than respectfully .

      So much , Sir , for the tone of your letter ; which it is our duty to apprise you does not comport ¦ with our ideas of « hs , t might be expected from a responsible functionary under democratic regulations . We turn now to the consideration of your answers to , and explanation of , the several matters embodied in the queries and observations of eur last In accounting for the magnitude of the sum set down for postage , yon say that " the cards have to be posted and prepaid , " and "that every five cards cost twopence . " We only know respecting this , that no cards have been prepaid to us : all the cards we have received

      we have paid the carriage for . We can perceive no reason why this locality should be an exception to the general rule ; nor have you condescended to point us to any . If the cards generally have been posted and prepaid , we admit that this must have been expensive ; and it is our duty to give a strong opinion that that expence ought not to have been incurred ; but that every locality should be made to do as we have donepay for the carriage of its own cards out of its own funds . We can see no reason why we should pay for the transmission of oar cards , and also for the transmission of sards to other localities .

      You state that you receive many letters unpaid . This certainly ought not to be ; and might very easily be put a stop to . A single notice , reasonably worded , in any of the public documents of the Executive , painting out the folly and in justice of the practice , and declaring their resolution to receive no more unpaid letters , would at oace end the practice of sending unpaid letters and give no offence to any body whose temper and disposition are worthy of . beiDg consulted . In reference to the postage of the other members of the Executive , we admit that the pre-payment of replies to applications for lecturing attendance ought not io fall on them ; neither do we think it ought to fall on the general funds of the Executive . Every such application ought to be accompanied with a postage stamp for the payment of the answer ; each locality would then be ^ r fairly its own burden ; and if that practice be not generally attended to , it is the duty of the Executive to require that it should be .

      You have not i nformed us how it happens that Messrs . Philp , M'Douall , and Williams seem , from the Balance Sheet , to have paid respectively the large sums of 10 s ., 16 s . 6 d ., and 9 s . Sd . for postage during the first week of the quarter and nothing afterwards . You do not tell ua , though we asked , whether these gentlemen afterwards paid their own postage , or whether it was afterwards thrown together with that of the General Secretary , into one lump ; and , in either case , why an uniform system was not observed . Your answer respecting the Philp resolution is satisfactory . The question was very generally , and , we tbink , very naturally asked by our membtrs ; and we shall have great pleasure in apprising them , on yout authority , that the transmission of those resolutions was the act of Mr . Philp , at his own expence , and not of the Exeentive , at the fexpenee of the country . In the former case it was perfectly justifiable ; in the latter it would have been perfectly unjustifiable .

      Your answer respecting " Dr . M'Douall ' s extra ten shillings a-week , " is no answer at all . If I > r . M'Douall has made SOCh Sacrifices for the people ' s cause as entitle him t « claim special compensation , let his claim be put forward on iU own merits- The eouutiy "has never been backward in remunerating deserving public servants . But whatever may have been his sacrifices , they form so justification of the mariner in which this tea shillings a week has been paid and received out of public money , without any public vote and under disguised piretensiens . When Dr . M'Dooall became a candidate for tha Executive , he knew the amount of salary he wonld have to receive ; and he knew , or ought to have known , the law of the society , which allows no " agitating expences" to members of the Executive , save when breaking vp new ground . The DuCtor ' B residence in London , and employment during the whole qaarter , as your letter intimates , in the Metropolitan districts , precludes any right on his part to charge to the

      Association one farthing for " agitating expences . " The regular weekly receipt , therefore , of lia . under this head , in addition to his salary , is ( gloss it how you may ) an unauthorised and perfectly unwarrantable appropriation of public funds . And ire should ill discharge onr duty as councillors of the Association , to permit so flagrant a violation of its constitution to pass , without the strongest expression of censure to which we are capable ol giving utterance . We are aware that " what is done cannot be undone ; " but we do hope that time past may suffice for the exhibition , in the Chartist Executive , of so very close an approximation to the worst features of Tory corruption and trickery . We tremble for the consequences to the Association and the cause , should this piece of wanton jobbery be laid bold of and publicly empostd , by any members of . the Association , in this or any other locality , more warm and less prudent in their indignation than we are disposed to be .

      You are pleased strangely to misconstrue the tendency cf our simp ! e inquiry , as to the two items of railway and coach fare . We never dreamed of its being reasonable for the Executive to travel " all weathers" in the third class . The information we wished for Eimply was : whether these items of expence were so incurred as that the organisation would warrant their being charged to toe public , or whether they ought not to hare been defrayed by some parti " cular locality ? This information you have not con > Knnicated .

      Your ' hit" at the Hull Chartists , fn the matter of Mr ; Leach ' s lecture , is a little beside the mark ! Mr . Leach did not come io ledure at HulL He was passing tkrough on his way to London , and merely gave us a lecture by way of filling np an evening that would have otherwise been unemployed . We have never yet had a lecturer coming here on our own invitation , the whole of whose expenses we have not cheerfully defrayed . We think your explanation respecting dates satisfactory . To conclude , we cannot reciprocal" your opinion that , " if there has been a fault at all , it is being remarkably niggardly in the expenses . " We do not think that the expenses of the millionaires who compose the

      anti-Corn Law League are any criterisnatallby which to estimate the using of the hard-earned pence of Chartists . We think it is the duty of the Executive , & ¦ far & ¦ In them lies , to enforce tbe observance of the rules of the organisation upon tbe whole society ; and at all events to take care that ail their own transaction * be In strict accordance with these rules . We thick that your letter contains abundant evidence and plain acknowledgments that they have not done so ; and , therefore , though in our last letterwe hinted neither suspicion" nor " censur e , '' we cannot close this without telling you that your answer to it leaves ne room for " suspicion , " and enforces on us tbe pBinful dnty of reiterating " censure" in tbe strongest terms . Trusting that ire may not again find itnecassary thus freely and horeitly to express onr opinions ; the ex-

      HAWORTH . —On Saturday evening last , at the house of Mr . Leighton , Temperance Hutel , Ha worth , Sir . Dormand , of Nottinsbam , delivered a lecture on Total Abstinence . The attendance w ; ia very thin . We do not so much wonder at this , because the majority of the people here are so far from indulging in intemperate drinking , that they are—through circumstances—compelled to abstain by fur too much from eating . There is , therefore , little cause for preaching up abstinence either in eating or drinking ; for , in fact , abstinence is carried en to an intemperate degree . : WIG AN . —The Chartists of VVigau have taken the room adjoining the Waggon ar . d Horses public house , bottom of Mi lgate , where they will meet next Sunday evening , for the purpose of electing a Council .

      SHEFFIELD . —Cuartissi—Mr . E iwin Gill addressed a respectable audieuce on Sunday evening in the Fig Tree-lano Koom . Mr . G . dwult chu-fly upon the fast increasing distress of the eountty , and the duty of the people . Mr . Evinson followed , delivering some appropriate and stirring remark v Mr . West . —This sterliug champion of democracy and honest advocate of the people ' s rights , lectured in the above room on Monday evening . The rebin was well tilled , and at eight o ' clock Mr . Dyson wan called to the chair . The Chartist National anthem was then sung , after which the chairman delivered some txcellent remarks , acd concluded by introducing Mr . West , wfto was received with loud demonstrations of applause Mr . W . mainly occupied the atteution of his bearers by

      detailing bis " prison experiences "—dwelling long on the impotehcy of prosecution ; and concluding with some masterly arguments in refutation of the sophisms and slanders brought to bear against Chartism . Mr . West ' s description of the helliah treatment he was subjected to in the Durby torture-bouse was painfully sickening , and excited the strongest feelings of indignation in the breasts » t his hearers ; one delightful portion of Mr . \ Ve 8 fB address was the reading of two letters from the Rev . Humphrey Price , received by Mr . West while in gaol . WewishMr . West would publish those letters that tha working classes may know , and knowing

      appreciate , the virtues of this "honest priest , " who is indeed &n honour to the land that gave him birth , one of the very few who dnre to preach the truth and have the honesty to practice what they preach . At the conclusion of Mr . West ' s lecture , Mr . Harney moved a vote of thanks ^ to the Rov . Mr . Price , and iu the course of a few remarks , warmly eulogised the rev . gentleman . Mr . Gill seconded the motion . Mr . Gtiorge Wright , a native of Burton-upon-Trent , spoke in support of the motion , and drew a glowing picture of the character of this excellent man . The motion was carried unanimously . Thanks having been voted to the lecturer , tbe meeting broke up .

      BRADFORD . —On Sunday , Mr . CHssett , of Millbriiige , preaclifcd two sermons in the Chartist room , . Buuerworta ' s-tmildings . Collections were made for the Defence Fund , which amounted to sixteen shillings and three-halfpence . The CUARTiSTSof Daisy-hill met as usual at their room to consider of it proper person to recommend to the Council as candidate for the office of delegate to the Birmingham Conference . The Chartists , of Bowling Back-lane , met on Sunday , and after some discussion , recommended the election of delegates to the Conference . They meet every Sunday morning at ten e ' clock . The Chartists of Manchester-road , met on Sunday morning , when , after arrangements being inadu for the election of delegates , they adjourned to Sunday next at nine o'clock .

      The Chartists resident in the central part - of Bradford , met on Sunday morning at the Council room , when several members were enrolled . They adjourned to Sunday morning next at ten o'clock . The Members of the General Council met on Monday , iu their room , Butterworth's-Buildings ; after arrangements were made for the election of delegates to the forthcoming Conference , Emanuel Hutton pai ! Is . 8 d . for the Defence Fund . The meeting adjourned to Monday evening , when the whole of tbe members of the Council are required to attend , and those persons having scarfs are rt quested to produce them at the council meeting .

      At the Meeting of Chartiata of Great Horton , numerously attended , the following resolution was unanimouBly carried : — "That we the Chartibts of Great-Horton , express our unabated confidence inDr . M'Douall for bis past services in the people ' s cause , and we are likewise of opinion that the weekly win allowed by the plan of organization , to the members of the Executive while sitting , should be paid to his bereaved wife , to enable , her , in some measure , to bear up under her present trying and painful situation . " NEWCASTLE . —Mr . Rigby . of Chorley , delivered a lecture in the Chartist Hall , Goat Inn , Cloth Market , on Sunday evening , on the principles of the People ' s Charter and the benefits that the working classes would derive by that document becoming the law of- the land . Mr . R . told many truths respecting the Whigs and the Tories , and the Tyrannical system they have used every effort to maintain , and concluded by challenging

      any one to coma forward and defend the present diabolical state of things , or show cause why industry should not have its reward , while the drones of society live upon the fat of the land . He was prepared to prove that if the principles of tbe Charter were carried out , tbe people would thereby be enabled to ameliorate their own condition , and that no other system of reform now extant can remove tbe present unparalleled distress until tbe whole people are fully and fairly represented in the legislature of this country . The Bpacious hall was densely crowded , but no person appeared disposed to dispute Mr . Rigby ' s position . Mr . Rigby was applauded throughout his whole discourse . A vote of thanks having been unanimously agreed to to Mr . Rigby for the able manner in -which h * defended the cause of the people , the meeting dispersed . Several names were enrolled after tbe lecture . Mr . William Kimpster RobBon will lecture in the same hall on next Sunday ( to-morrow ) evening , at six o ' clock .

      The Chartists of Newcastle held their weekly business meeting on Monday evening aa usual . Mr . W . K . Robson in the chair . The minutes of the previous meeting having been confirmed , the Secretary read a letter from Mr . O'Connor in reply to the letter which be was instructed tn lost meeting night to send to that gentleman . Mr Hebdert appeared as one of a deputation appointed by the CbattiBts of Ouseburn to enter into arrangements for the election of delegates to the forthcoming Conference in Birmingham . After some dibcussiou on the [ subject a deputation of four were

      elected to meet the deputation frem Ouseburn , and make the prelimi . ary arrangements for the course to be pursued by the non-electors at the public meeting . After disposing of some local business the meeting adjourned . There was two shillings received from Cuarterahaugh for the Defence Fund , per Wm , Wilson , ana two sbillings from Badcliffe Terrace , per Mr , Dangley , for the same . Tbe adjourned meeting o * delegates from the counties of Northumberland and Durham wil be resumed in the Chartists Hall , > Newcastle , on Sunday December 4 tb , at one o ' clock in the afternoon .

      GLOBSOP . —Defeat of the League . —This plaw and the surrounding villages were placarded , signifying that Mr . Acland , the tool of the Corn Law League , would lecture at the Univereal School , on Monday last , at seven o'clock lo the evening . Here I would remark , although this place was built by public subscription—the poor M well as the rich subscribed—yet it is denied the former for holding any meetings in it that might tend to rouse them from their present degraded state . On this occasion some of the manufacturers stopped their mills at six o ' clock , in order to have an opportunity of attending the lecture . The room was pretty well filled , andhere and there lickspittles were stationed , in order to watch who might be favourable to their views , or

      who might not ,, as most of them thought they had put Chartism down , when * nen ' s blood had been spilt , only tor asking for a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work ; and by that pirty , too , -who say they are seeking for advancement of their wages . Oh , but the people know too well this is all humbug . But to the question . Mr Acland rose to address the meeting ; and , as it is a well known fact , at tbe League meetings the lecturer acts as chairman and speaker , he was very kindly aaked whether he would , at the close of his lecture , allow discussion , or answer any questions that might be put to him . After some of hia usual impertinence , ho gave the meeting to understand that he would . With this understanding , the meeting allowed him to proceed , and paid great attention , expecting to hear something advanced that might make them become Repealers ; but they were woefully mistaken .

      Many of his own party went away disgusted with his arguments long before he came to a close ; and , when he saw the meeting wonld no longer be galled by him , he coolly bid them V good night . At this moment , Mr . Clark , of Stockport , mounted one of the forms to address the meeting In reply , in order to ahow the fallacy of the League ; but Acland durst not stand the test , alleging that ho had an engagement fa Manchester . Yes , no doubt he bad , as I daresay the League had jto conspire together to know how they must raise the £ 50 , 000 . However , they did not escape without a severe castigation from Mr . Clark , who was loudly applauded throughout his address . Mr . Clark challenged Mr . Acland to meet him anywhere , or at any time he thought fit But , no ! he would not After three cheers for the Charter and O'Connor , the meeting dispersed , giving three groans for the League and Acland . —Correspondent .

      HULXi . —Defeat of the League . —On Monday and Tuesday la ^ , we were promised the " fivst fruits" of the £ 50 , 000 wrung from the sweat of the factory chUdron , in the shape of a visitation from Mr . Falvey , the celebrated League lecturer , and the Chartists put off their meeting on Monday night , to hearwhht new nostrums wereabout to be propounded . At the close of the lecture , in which he retailed wholesale the fallacies of Acland and Co ., he was tackled , and tightly too , by Bairstow of tbe Executive . In half-an-hour poor Falvey had not a log to stand on ; and at the close , challenged him boldly to a discussion on any following evening . But ho had enough , far more than enough ! and declined the offer . On Tuesday night , it being generally known

      that Bairstow remained in town , the Guild-hall was densely crowded . At the oloso of the lecture , which as usual treated upon every subject but the Co > 'n Laws , up sprung Hollid ay , sub-secretary of the Charter Association and moved , "that Mr . Webster , a well-known Chartist , do tako the chair . " The proposition was seconded and put to thv meeting ; at least a thousand bands were held up in favour , and only rive against . Mr . Falvey protested , but protest was vain ! The " League meu" bawled ; but : their factious brawling was : silenced by the thundering- cheers of tha triumphant Chartists . The hubbub lasted near haif-an-hour , during which some of the respectables made off for the assistance of their free-i rade allies—the policeman . The blue

      bottles arrived , and listened , apparently not ill pleased , to FaWey's receiving , at tbe hands of his opponent , one of the most effectual thrashings he or any other man over met with , or in all likelihood erer will . Bairstow demolished , in terms of thrilling eloquence , every subterfuge behind which his opponenc had taken shelter ; shewed hoiv the traders had grown rich at the expence of the poor , and summed up by pourtraying , in glowing colours , the avaricious , grinding , Belfish nature oi' those who would now make us believe that they were actuated in this matter solely by feelings of philanthropy and humanity . Prior to breaking up , we had three hearoy cheers for the Charter , three for bairstow , and three magnificent groans for the anti-Corn Law League .

      BIHMXN 6 HAM . —Sxkelhouse lane Meeting . — The usual meeting of Chartists took place at the Ship Inn , Steelhcu ^ e-lane , on Tuesday evening last , Mr . John Newhouse in the chair . Mr . Ernes delivered a very clear , manly , and most affectionate address on the " Moral and physical capabilities of man , " and was warmly applauded . A long and interesting conversation was held on the necessity of supporting Mr . Joseph Linney , when Mr . G . White and others bore testimony to the straightforward conduct and sterling worth | 0 f Mr . Linney . A subscription was entered into for that purpose whioh will be continued . A discussion was then commenced on the manner in which the funds of

      the National Charter Association had been misappropriated by the Executive ; several ware for passing a voto on the occasion , but it was ultimately deferred to the following Tuesday , in orcUsr to allow all who felt interested in the matter to express their sentiments . The sub-secretary , Mr . David Potts , then called the attention of the meeting to the election of members to the General Councii , which , according to the plan of organization , should take place in the beginning of December , and on the motion of Mr . A . Fussell , it was resolved to give a week ' s notice to the members of that locality in order that all might have a fair chance of voting . After the usual routine business was disposed of , the meeting separated .

      The Patriot Convict Ellis . —The sorrowing , and heart-broken wife , or more properly , widow , of poor Ellis , arrived here this evening from Burslem , oil her way to Portsmouth , to ; ake her fa-rowel I of her beloved , and noble-minded husband , who ia now on board a transport ship , about to bid adieu to his dear wife and ohildren . Previous to her departure by coaoh to London , Mrs . Ellis read several of her husband's letters to the Chartists present at Mr . Follows , in Monmout ! i- ? treet , where sho was staying , the endearing , ( patriotic , i aud self-denying sentiment of which , together with the sobs of his wifei caused tears to flow from the eyes of all present . In one of them he states that he had been employed with others as a labourer , and compelled to work with a number of bad characters , in a convict dres 3 , and with seven pounds weight of chains on his legs . In his last letter , written from

      the convict ship , he requests to be supplied with some books and money , against the voyage ; and as there was no time to be lost . Messrs . White , Follows , and Horsley , determined to request Mr . Cleave to supply the wants of Mr . Ellis out of the money he held , and pledged themselves on behalf of the Birmingham Chartists to make it good , in case the Chartist body objected to it . Every possible assistance was rendered Mrs . Ellis by those who were brought together during her short BOJanrn , and Mr . George White attended her to the coach office , and saw ner safely placed in the inside of the London coach . It ought to be hero mentioned that Mr . Lowe , brother-in-law of Mr . Benjamin Danks of Wednesbury has kindly consented to take charge of Mrs ; Ellia ' s eldest girl , and from his well-known kind disposition , there is no doubt the child will be well attended to .

      TO THE EDITOE OF THE NORTHERN STAR . My dear Hill , —There in one conviction of iny mind which I cannot refrain from expressing publkly , that I owe the happy fact of my escape from transportation , almost entirely to the intelligence and fidelity ef Mr . Willinms and Mr . Roberta , my attornies , in so urgently advising me to make a desperate struggle towards obtaining a jury , of which not oneniembei had been engaged in a previous trial during the Special Commission . , : Poor El-is , more than once during our three houra companionship in the " glory-hole , " expressed ; i passionate regret that fat ) bad not been advioed also to Jua for a separate trial . " Yet , " he alwaya added , '' who could possibly have thought , even when I was mixed up in trial with twenty others , they could have returned me ' guilty . 'on such evidence !"

      And who , on eaith , could have thought it ? The verdict came like a thunderbolt upon our attornies : this I can testify , both from conversations I had with them previous to Ellis' trial , when they each spoke of his acquittal as a certainty—and . from the consternation with which they both alluded to the horrid verdict , after it had been given . Fully aware of the rabidly revengeful state of mind which pervaded the aristocracy on each side the Judge , —tbe Jury in their box , —and the " exclusive ? " who are permitted to become spectators in the court , —our attornies strove , — from the commencement of the trials np to the day ia which I was summoned into ceurt -with seventeen others , as "incendiaries , "—to appease our persecutors by a respectful mode of procedure , dreading that any

      resort to a more spirited policy might subject the poor victims to summary vengeance . When the shameful verdict aeainst William Ellis , however , made it openly manifest that no courtesy could ailay the brutal spirit of our persecutors , our attornies came at once to a strong resolution . " They can but do their worst , " said Roberts to me , " and since they have evinced so vengeful a disposition already , their eternal rerdict being « guilty , ' your only chance of a fair trial lies in procuring an entirely new jury . Now , remember , " Baid he to me in conclusion , " you can / tare a fresh jury if you are determined to have one . " " Then depend upon it , I wili , "l answered . Mr . Williams was equally urgent on this point . The process of " challenging , " aa it is called , and other delays occupied the court for an hour , but that hour was well spent , inasmuch as- it isaaed in seating in the jury-box , twelve

      men , not one of whom had previously served on a jury during the Special Commission . These men did aot , like their prtdeceeaors , seem to take it as a matter « f course that they were to find everything " guilty "' that stood in the dock , and was called "the prisoner " by the wily Sir Win . Follett ; and when told by the upright lawyer , though severe j udge , Sir Nicholas Tindal , that they could not find me " guilty" —why , they could not take it into their beads to do it , aud so escaped . To conclude as I began , I feel certain that my fate would have been as hapless as that of poor Ellis , nay , pt-rhaps , worse , had not my attornies advised me to presH lor a separate trial ; for it is no secret that the Tories were frequently , during the weeks preceding one trials , betting bottles of port , in the parlours of the inns at Hauley , Burslem and Lane-end , that Cooper and Ellis would , one or both , be hung , and Capper and Robinson transported for life I

      Thank God ! Although poor injured Ems has been so horridly victimised , and aged Capper is immured for two years , in addition to having his goods seized for neglecting some legal form—yet Robinson has wholly escaped his brutal enemies , while I am delivered from the horrors of transportation , and have yet advance at least , though it way ben slightons . for establishing my innocence of the remaining "high crimtaand misdemeanours" with which I stand charged , . I am , my dear Hill , ¦ Very affectionately yours , Thomas Cooper . P . 'S . —My attorney , Mr . WilUams , informs me that he has caused the proper plea , " Not Grailty , " to be filed for me In the Queen' ? Bench , whither I was cited to appear on the 30 th instant—my ease having been removed into that court by writ of cerliorari , like the Liverpool cases .

      TO THE EDITOS OF THE XORT&EBX STAB . SIR , —At a special meeting of tbe Hull Council , held fyt the purpose of considering Mr . Campbell ' s reply to certain objections urged against the Bilance Sheet , it was resolved , — 1 . " That in the oninion of the Councillors resident in Hull , Mr . Campbell ' s letter in last Siturdays Siar is altogether rassfcisfactary ; &nd that the Executive have , hi many grave and Berioos matters , departed from the plain printed rules of the Organisation .

      Ib obedience to the foregoing resolutions , I herewith forward yon a copy of such letters as I have found in the minnte boot , regretting exceedingly that Mr . Campbell ' s reply bad not been inserted , and that owing to the drcumstacces in 'which our late worthy &ufe-Secretary left the district , the original of that letter , along Trith others , hid been destroyed . I may also observe , that the first and second of the following letters refer , not to the last , but to the preceding Bilance Sheet . I am , Sir , Tours , truly , W . J .

      COPY OF THE THIRD LETTER TO SIR . CAMPBELL . Hull , Nov . 14 , 1842 . Sir , —I am instructed by the councillors resident in Hull , to express their regret that so little attention should have been paid by the Executive to their previous communications upon the suhj-ct of the expenditure , and the loose , indefinite wording of the balance sheet . We ventured last quarter to give to the Executive some general intimations of what , in our opinion , a balance Bheet ou ^ lit to be ; and we also took the liberty of drawing your attention to some matters in the l ? st Balance Sheet , which plainly shewed that the rules of the organization had been most flagrantly and wantonly outraged and set aside by the Executive . We were willing to believe that the Executive were hoaest and well principled , that their aberrations from

      the strict lino of their official duties had resulted rather from inattention to the rules of the organisation by which tbeyare bound , than from aDy purpose to sot themselves above rule , and to manage the affairs andtftinds of the Association " on their own responsibility . " We did not , therefore , Hfre our brethren in some other places , make public our very just disapprobation of several transactions to which our attention was directed by the bald and meagre statements of tbe last Balance Sheet ; nor did we take any public notice of the most Blovenly and unbusiness like way in which that Balance Sheet proved the accounts of tbe Association to have been kept ; and in which we regret to say they have always been kept

      We gave the Executive credit for honesty . We were willing to make due allowance for the newssary want of familiarity with the affairs of business induced by their previous occupations . We hoped that experience would make them more uu / ait in business matters ; and that respectful private admonition wonld educe from them more deference to the laws of the Association thun they had heretofore paid . We have expected this more confidently , because we had the pledge not only of your-Btlf , but of other members of the Executive , that our admonition should receive due attention , and that the nnl-practices of which we complained should be discontinued . We grieve to find ourselves disappointed . Another Balance Sheet has been issued , which , upon examination , we find may well vie with any of its predecessors for Vagueness and ambiguity ; and which , vague and meagre as it is , affords evidence that nut only our requirements , but those of the organianion , have been utterly contemned .

      The only items in the Balance Sheet now publishes regarding which distinctive information is accorded , as to the exact purpose of appropriation , are the " wages " of the Executive , and the printing of cards ; all the rest are left floating in the like mist of uncertainty which nas characterize preceding Balance Sheets ; and we are again compelled therefore to apply to you for distinctive information upon matters which it is your duty to make plain to us and the country . We trust that we may be more successful in this application than in our last . We find scattered over the Balance Sheet various items , to the number of eleven and to the amount of twenty three pounds ten shillings , charged for travelling expences for different members of the Executive , to not one of which is a syllable of information appended as to the object or purport of the journeys thus charged for .

      Officially , as councillors , we require you , Sir , as our Secretary , to inform us respecting eacb of these items ; on what business and on whose authority the journeys for which they are charged was undertaken , and also under which of the regulations of the organization the country are thus charged at all for the journeys of these gentlemen . Thus much of information in regard to the general item of "travelling expences , " every member of the Association in entitled to demand from you ; and on behalf of the members resident in Hull , we require it Mind , Sir , let us-have no more misconstructions ! We do not at present make any charge againat yoarse . f or any other member of the Executive , tot causing any journey to be more expensive than it might have been : that may or may not form the subject of future remark . We do not at present say that all these journeys are not rightly charged to the Association . Upon that subject we say nothing now . The plain question is , upon what business were these respective journeys

      undertaken ? by whom wire they authorised ? and under what rule of the Association are they charged to the country ? To those matters you will please to address your reply , in regard to each and every one of them . Subsidiary to the above general inquiry , we wish also to ask how it happens that a serious difference of cost appears to have been ineurred by the same gentleman in travelling over the same ground at different periods . Under date July 6 th , we find , Travelling from BriBtol to Manchester , £ 1 18 s . 6 d . " Again , under date August 6 th , " Bairstow ' s expences to Bristol from Manchester , £ 2 16 s 6 d ; " And again , under date August 20 th , " Bairstow from Bristol to Manchester , £ 2 2 s . " Our members make many comments upon this discrepancy . We think this of far less moment than a satisfactory answer to our general enquiry ; yet assuming that the journeys have been performed in pursuance of the rules of tke organization , it ought certainly to be reconciled .

      We again draw your attention to the item " agitating expences . " We find this item to occur stven times , involving an amount of £ 10 16 s Cd . We require to be informed in reference to each of these seven distinct charges , fer what " new district" the txpencee thereby indicated were incurred . We need not , of course , tell you that the salary , or as you l ike to call it , the " wages" of each member of the Executive ( save the Secretary ) is distinctly specified in tbe organization to be £ 1 10 s . weekly , uhen sitting , and that when not Bitting they have no claim for wages ,

      unless employed as lecturers ; and then to be paid out of the general funds only when opening new districts . Of course you , whose duty it is to instruct every Sab-Secretary in all the minutiffl of organization , know all this ; we do not , therefore , presume to give it as information te you ; but we advert to it for the purpose of calling your attention to the fact , that in the balance sheet now published , Dr M'Douall ' s wages are for tbe most part of tbe quarter put down regularly at £ 2 per week . We require to know upon what authority the Executive have made this deviation from the plain printed rules of tfce Association .

      There are various other matters on which it may be our duty to trouble you with enquiries hereafter . For the present we submit to you these , in tbe confluent expectation that tbey will nibfet with prompt attention . We have endeavoured to make them so plain that we think they cannot be easily misunderstood—so perspicuous , that we hope they leave no room for a repetition of your complaint about " suspicions , ' and so respectfully worded as shall give us a right to expect from you ^ courteous reply ; while at the same time they are so pointed , that we trust they will furnish no pretext for digression ; but that you will confine your reply strictly to the matters and things on which we seek information , and that no one of these will be overlooked .

      Without any desire to school you in your duty , we cannot pass by the performance of our own ; which compels us to remind you that a Secretary should be a man of business—that his accounts should be clear and unambiguous , and his correspondence precise and definite , and yet perspicuous and comprehensive ; and to express our hope that in these matters we may hereafter have fewer and . less causes for that " censure" of which your former correspondence eviDces much impatience . Sincerely regretting , Sir , that there should bo a necessity for us tbns to write to you , We are , in the performance of our duty , With all due respect , The general councillors ef the National Charter Association , resident in Huil . Signed on behalf of the whole , W . J . Hollidak , Sub-Secretary . To this letter no reply has been received .
