      PROSPECTUS OF A NEW DEMOCRATIC PUPL 1 CATION , TO BE ENTITLED . THE LONDON CHARTIST MONTHLY MAGAZINE . " The Charter as a means—social happiness as the end . " ON the 1 st of , June will be published , price Sixpenoe , No . 1 , of a new Periodical , containing thirty-two closely printed pages of original matter demy 8 vo ., enclosed in a neat wrapper , and occasionally embellished with a splendid Engraving . CONTENTS OP NWIBSB I . To our Readers and Subscribers . Progress of Liberty in England , from the earliest period down to the present time . Chartism and Socialism . The Life of a London Dodger . Letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury The Poor Law Martyrs ( A Tale ) Chap . I . Autobiography of a Chartist . Poems by a Sufferer under the Present System . News of the Month . Critical Notices . Orbituary , &c , &c . Chartism having now gained a radical footing ia the world , several tried friends of the Cause have been appoiuted a Committee to supply a desideratum which is beginning to be very sensibly felt . Ia this undertaking they have met with encouragement and support from Chartist advocates of all shades of opinion , and particularly from that portion of the public which represents the spirit and the intelligence of the London Trades . They have encountered no opposition , and anticipate none . The aim of the Committee is to produce a work which cm be lent to neutrals , and even to the enemies of our principles , with the hope that it may awaken apathy and dispel prejudice , and thus disseminate Chartism in circles from whioh it ha 3 hither 10 been excluded : for they feel convinced that Chartism can be made amusing and instructive ; noble , amiable , dignified , and interesting—fit for the drawing-room of the Lord , as well as the cottager ' s fireside . It can speak with the tongue of the orator , take up the pen of the historian , teach with the philosopher and theologian , as well as declaim wi th the politician ; and can wield the magic wand of romance , sound the lyre of poetry , delineate with the pencil of the topographer—receiving inspiration by turns from each Muse . Churchmen , dissenters , lawyers , doctors , naval and military men , Whig or Tory , all have their Magaziues to store up news , to state their claims , to advance their prospects , and to impart information peculiar and interesting to all . Why should not working men bave a Magazine to represent their interests , and to promote their elevation ia society ? Such a Magaziae would furnis-h them with ready arguments for use in conversation and debate—with facts for thoughtful minds—with sound and searching truths—with useful , necessary , and profitable information—and would materially assist to gain the Cause of truth and justice . It should be made to penetrate into every town and village , aad reach the hands of every working man . A Portrait , with a Memoir of some eminent patriot , will be given once a quarter , to bind up with the volume ; and an Annual Prize for the best Essay , on some subject relative to democracy . All communications to be addressed to the Editor , at No . 5 , Angel Court , Strand ; letters expecting an answer to enclose a stamp . Orders received by all Booksellers in Town and Country . JOHN WATKINS , Hon . See .

Arthur , who was then in London to receive juslgrnent in the Court of Quesn ' s beuch . The greatest anxiety prevailed ; and the news of a rule being granted for curtain objections to be argued next term , was received with pleasure and satisfaction , as affording ground for hope that tbe late verdict found at Lancaster may yet be set aside . On Sunday morning , tbe members uf the Council met at the same place fur dispatch of business , -when Mr . Quorge Qrabam was called to the chair . As many other persons had assembled t » bear the news in Cooper and Richard ' s case , Mr . Bovriuan read tbe r-port of the

      proceedings as it appeared In the Morning Chronicle of Saturday , which made a deep impression on all present . The members of the Council then proceeded to business , and after settling some pecuniary matters , their attention was drawn to the following resolution by Mr Qiibertson : — " That each member of the Council exert himself , to obtain tbe names of as many persons as possible , who are anxious to support tbe agitation for the People ' s Charter ; and willing to btcome subscribers to the same , and that they hand them in to tbe Secretary , with a view to divide them into sectioni for vhe convenience of collectors . " A number of names were enrolled . Mr . Bowman then called the attention of the Council to Mr . Hill ' s letter which appealed in the second edition of tbe Star , and observed , that

      this appeal should be heartily responded to , for it appeared there was a chance , providing great exertions were made oa the part of tbe people , of tbe verdicts found at Lvicaster being set aside altogether ; and surely , every exertion should be made for such a purpose for it would be muih easier to do this ; than to support their friends and families , should they get imprisonment , which would certainly be the caw , if the means were not immediately raised for fighting the battle in a skilful and proper manner . After a few observations from some other members , arrangements ¦ were entered into for a general collection for this purpose We know tbe Chartists of C-trusle , aud we have ne doubt but tbat they will do their duty nobly ; for they have cevtr jet beeu behind , when necessity called for their exertions .

Sbarman Crawford , E ? q ., for his late energetic and successful opposition to the n igitious emigration scheme

      LEEDS DISTRICT . —A general council meeting of this district was held on Sunday , in the Chartist room , Woodhouoe ; it was the best and most influential meeting that has been bold for a length of time . None of those disgraceful scenes took place , which for some time past have been of incalculable injury to the cause in this town . All this has happily got baniabed , by the withdrawal of about half a dozen individuals from the Association ; aud now every thing is conducted with that spirit of unity which characterized the movement this time twelve months back . Not a ' word of ill fueling was heard oa Sunday ; none of those abusive epithets , heaped upon one another , becauae one does not happen to think as the other . Instead of this , the questions tbat came before the meeting were

      discussed with calmness , and with an earnest desire to do tbe work for which all had been sent , and to do it in such a manner as would be a benefit to the district instead of un injury . The district will now flourish ; for union has onee more planted its standard within our borders . Many propcmiti-vns were discussed , among which were the establishing a school , and to have seme talented man to resids in the town to be tbe master , and likewise to lecture occasionally . The secretary was directed to correspond with one for this purpose . Another proposition was , that Mr . William Bell , of Hey wood , should be engaged to deliver seven lectures . After a variety of other business was disposed of , the meeting was dissolved , every person present being highly delighted with the proceedings .

J . riobson , of Leeds , at the time appointed , that gentleman made hi *

      appearance in the Chartists' Room . Yes , thank God ! the Chartists have a room of their own ; and such a room that no stranger enters it without being struck with surprise and delight—surprise , that a room bo large and convenient should be in the possession of a few working men , and delight at the neameas and elegance of the interior . Every pan of tho room is whitewashed in the most perfect manner . Tho moment you enter the ey « meets the portrait of the immortal Robert Emmett ; on the same side is the plato of the National Convention , and tho portrait of the victimised Froet . Then , turning moro to the right , and ut the upper end of the room , the eye meets the portrait of that lion of democracy , Feargua O'Connor , it

      baiiKs in the middle of a semicircular wreath , composed ot" laurel and yew ; over head is the atar of glory , composed of the tri-colour , the emblem of democracy ; beneath is the plate representing the proces « ioii attending the great National Petition of 3 317 Ju 2 signatures to the House of Commons in 1842 . To iho rit-ht of Feargus O'Connor , E « q , is the portrait of Thomas Slin ^ by Duucombe , Esq ., M . P , and William Cobbett , E ^ q On his left is the portrait of l \ M . M'Douall and G neral Arthur O Connor . The opposite cud of tho room is similarly adorned with evergreens and portraits , amongst them stands conspicuous tho portrait of the king of the factory child , Richard Ostler . Upon one of the binders which cross the

      room is inscribed in large letters beautifully formed of evergreens , the following inscription : — " National Charter Association Room . " Aud on the other , — " Peace and comfort is our objuct ' , In the centre , between tha two binders is suspended a large transparent tricolour lantern , and upon it is inscribed the word "liberty . " The whole of the arrangements are i-o beautiful , and strike tho eye with such pleasing effect , that to be believed they must be seen . The reom on the present occasion was filled to suffocation . Mr . William Cunningham , a whole hog Chartist , was unanimously elected chairman . The Chairman having opened ihe business of tho meeting , Mr . Joshua Hobson presented himself and wa , s reci-ived with loud cheers . He commenced his address

      by stating that he was neither a professed orator nor a lecturer ; that he was nothing but a working man like themselves ; that he should do nothing more than tell them a number of plain facts , in a plain common-sense mannner ; for though he could noc boast / of shining abilities , he heped they would Kivo him credit for being possessed of a small share of common sense . He then entered upon the distressed situation of the country , showing that the distress of the country had been brought about by the combined operation of high taxation , paper money , and machinery . He showed how the people had been robbed by tne funding system , and entered into such explanations with respect to it as were quite new to a large number of his auditors . He

      showed the hollow pretentions of the League , and that if they could accomplish all thoy aimed at , nobody would bo beuctitted but the tax-eater aud men of fixed money nicomed . Tho question of the laud also received a portion of his attention , and he gave it a * his opinion that there wouid be no lasting and radical cure for the distress ot iho people until they were in possession of the land and enfranchised . For the space of nearly two hours Mr . Hobson occupied the attention oi his auditors with his statements of facts and figures , and sat down amidst thunders of applause The Ctiairman then intimated , that if any gentleman wished to say anything in opposition to what had been advanced by Mr . Hobson , he should be happy to hear

      him , and would endeavour to procure for him an impartial and patient hearing . —Mr . George Robinson , a member of the auti-Corn Law League , stepped forward and said that he should bo happy to avail himself of the offer marie by the Chairman . He sain he had not attended the meeting with any intention of making a speech . He had come totally unprepared to do so . He had not even taken any notes of what had been said by the proceeding speaker ; but a friend of his had done so , and as soon as he could read them , would proceed with his remarks . But instead of making only a few remarks , he commenced a speech which lasted more than an hour , and in a very feeble and confused manner , ran over all the

      arguments usually advanced upon the subject of tree trade by the party to which he belongs . Mr . J . Hobson again presented himself to the meeting , During his former address , he had shown but little animation ; but now his whole soul was fired with the materials that his opponent had given him to work upon . His eyea sparkled with intelligence ; his couiuenanoe beamed with joy ; he appeared like one who had confidence in the justice of his cause , and of his own abilities to manage it . He answered the objections of his opponent point by point ; every answer he gave elicited thunders of well-merited applause . Never was there a more noble defence of the principles advocated by the Chartists than that made bv kr . Hobson , in his reply to _ Mr .

      Robinson . Never before d » d the Leaguers ot Holmfirth receive so severe a thrashing as they did at hia hands . The writer of this article never listened to a more noble , a more powerful , and a more complete refutation of all the sophisms of Whigeism ; and Corn-Law humbug , than the reply of MrTRobsoiito Mr . Robinson ; and the confused and disconcerted state of mind exhibited by the latter when he rose a second time , was proof tbat he was writhing under the weight of the severe blows that he had received from it . Mr . Robinson , on his second appearance , began by denying , point blank , that which he had stated in his nrst address ; but he was met by the audience with one simultaneous burst of disapprobation . Such was the strong feeling manifested against him , that U ia doubtlul whe-

      ther i > " would have been heard at all , had it not been for the very proper interference of the chairman , who said" , my friends , let us shew an exampu' such as the League never shewed to us . It is true" t \ iC 7 will not shew us fair play at their meetings . Let us do good for evil—hear them patiently if we stay here >? hile daylight in the morning . " Attention was then given to Mr . Robinson , andjitiwas well that it was so ; for he made a declaration that wa 3 highly honourable to the working classes . He declared that he had found by his own

      experience that the labouring classes were far more intellectual than the middle classes , and he should be happy to see a better understands g exist between them , for ha himself was an advocate for universal suffrage . It being now after twelve o ' clock , he said he could not think it right to detain the meeting any longer , but would reserve what he had to say to some future time . A vote of thanks was then given to the lecturer , and to the chairman , and the meeting broke up in good order , highly delighted with the proceedings of the evening . —Wm . Cuttell , Sec .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —My last letter gave an accouut of my lecture at Kh ) so and Jedburgh , mot Edinburgh . ) I next came to Hawick . and although I did not find the Association in auch a state of imlec and unity as it has been , yet tho hearts of tbe people wure in tho right place , and what is more , the Chartists bnve two large stores , where provisions and other necessaries are sold , with an extensive and thriving business . They began two or three years since , with only a few pounds , and sold meal and potatoes three daya in the week . They now can boast of at least four hundred pounds worth and have two well-accustomed shops open six days in the week . We bad a very large meeting , all sizes and sorts , men , women , and children .

      I next lectured at Selkirk , where tbe Duke of Buccleuch , who possesses about five or six hundred thousand acres of God ' s earth , has fixed one of his seats . I addressed tho people in the Matket Plice , about five yards from the monument of Sir Walter Scott There is no Association at Selkirk , but the Repealers have been there , and ms at Jed burgh , thrown dust in tbe eyes of the unsuspecting labourers . Thus you see Sir , if we neglect our cimae , the cuuniag tricksters don't negitct theirs . I attempted to show the people that it was of the first importance to gain political power , as they wouid then have the means in their handB to protect their labour , and make all reforma and changes in Government , benefit them as well as the caDitalist .

      I next lectured at Ualashiels , to a very great audience . There are a good many inhabitants in Galashiels , but I am afraid not many eutrigbt Chartists . I gave two lectures in Dulkeith , and had a few shots with Mr . Acland . I could not draw him to close quarters . I have now lectured twice in Musselburg , Leith , and Edinburgh , once in Laaswade , Preston Pans , and Portabello . The district is all sixes and sevens , and I am only a poor man , and cannot do mere than my share , but I hope in tbe course of two months to see " Auld Reekie" hold up her bead with the proudest . Tnare has been a public meeting called by ticket here , about Sir James Graham ' s bill , but like the handle of a jug , it went all ona way , the workiea had something « l 8 e to do . Yours , T .
