      THE FIRST BID OF THE AUCTION . Thb next best thing to the obtaining of a . TKtOIj B the trowing now to make aright use of it . The Whigs have been iaoghi bj this election thai they are powerless as a faction ; that their only hope and prop is in the people . Bat they * re deep dogs . They well know fcsw to make the best of their defeat ; and if the people be sot careful to exact the fall benefit of their advantageous position , they frill assuredly be robbedof somnch of it as Whig treachery and finase can filch from them . Let no man look &r generosity 01 even honesty from the Whigs .

      They are essentially traders ; imbued -with the very life of bargaining and trickery ; always anxious to regain power , and unable so to do with-9 si the people , they will now seek to cheapen , and banter with those against whom they held closed the door of the Market-place as long as they oonld . The "finality" doctrine , falling short af their own miri , will now be , of coarse , abandoned , and a Suffrage bid will be forthwith Bade for popular snpport . The " house-hold gods " will again giro forth their influence , and the Ballot-mongers bellow oat the praises of their

      merchandise . Indeed , the game is begun already . At Hnddersfield , an Association is new forming , having Household Suffrage and the Ballot for its objects ; and there is so doabt ihxt the example will be followed through the whole country , if the people do not put an extinguisher upon the moyement in Its infancy . And this , -we tell them , will >> e done . We tell them thai the time for trimming and cajolery has gone by ; that the people will meek every pretension to liberality , short of the foil

      measure of universal right . The people must do it , cr ihey are traitors to themselves . And we know they will do it ; their noble stand against the clap-trap ery of cheap bread , raised at so picked a time , gives us full confidence , If the oily tongue and hollow heart railed to accomplish its deceitful purpose , having all the specious aid of poverty and hunger , we have no fear of any minor effort being more successful . The people have been too often bit to place themselves again within the reach of the biters . Their colours are nailed to the mast

      head—the Charter , the whole Charter , and notmng less than the Charter . The mountain may come to Mohammed as soon as it pleases , for not one inch will Mohammedhut 5 ge towards the mountain . They my writhe and mouth , and kick , for & time , against the pricks , but finding the people ' s stern resolution taken and immoTeable , they will be fain enough to grve the fixed price for a new lease of Downing-Eireet , and again take office as tbe servants of the people—ardent , zealous , and honest , this time , because compelled to be so .

      How odd to see such a note of preparation at the head of an article in the organ of the unrepresented ; but bo it is—register—register—register . Let erery Chartist who can afford to pay all taxes , on the 20 th of July , preparatory to having his name placed among the list of voters do bo : and for this reason ; one Chartist rote has now become worth fifty of

      either Whig or Tories . It is no harm to have a thing , even if one should ' nt mse it ; so Register , and in time we shall point out all the legal , auconsiitntkrnal , bothering , puzzling , acts to be performed before the day of Registration . We are near something . Let us be as well prepared as we can . See atGatesheadwelost an efficient representative , by not having two electors honest enough to propose and second Masos . Let this not happen again ; so

      Register I Thb 29 th of July is the last day for sending in tounty claims ; and for £ 10 voters paying poor-rates and assessed taxes in boroughs . Corarr Electobs who are not already registered for the same property , or who have changed their places of abode sinoe last July , must , on or before the 20 ih of July instant , send to the overseers of the parish in which their property is situated their fUTTp * to vote , which must contain a description of their places of residence , the nature of qualification , and its situation , or the tenant ' s name ; and they must send with each claim a shilling .

He says : U I hold that every man has a right to his own principles , and , therefore , he has a right to deferid them either publicly or privately . It is well knewn to all , and particularly by those who wish to misrepresent me , that I hold Radical principles , nor ami either ashamed or afraid to defend my principles , which are embodied in the Charter , as far as I am if ability to do so ; and I hurl defiance in the teeth qf those persons who

      GOOD NKWS ME ShxffIKLTa—Mr . O'Connor having received numerous complaints of the tuminterUm of correspondence from Sheffield ( which never arrived eU the office J and being most anxious to make the Scar as beneficial an organ as possible for the whole of the working classes , has appointed Mr . George Julvan Homey correspondent for Sheffield and surrounding districts . All persons who may have communications for the Star , from Mr . H . ' s district , will , upon his instalment , transmit the same to him for arrangment . Mr . Harney' being , at present , under an engagement , as West Siding Lecturer , respectfully request * that the delegates and managers of his rmssion , will

      be good enough to call a meeting at as early a time as is perfectl y convenient to themselves , for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not some other person can be substituted for him during the last month of his time . Mr . H . feels as he will be still in a part of the West Riding which requires his services , that a double service at the same expense to the Riding may be thus performed ; but should the iekgaiet even express a desire for the fulfilment of his entire time , he will most cheerfully obey . Mr . H . also begs to say that he

      will become district agent for the Star , and will establish a plan of serving at their own homes those ' persons who have note to come a great distance , and at great inconvenience' Mr . H . will still lecture in his district , and as far as Barnsley , Chesterfield , Rotherh ' am , and so forth ; and wiU , as far as is consistent with his duty to his office , be ever ready to obey the calls of those who think that his presence may be serviceable to the good cause . As soon as Mr . Harney is settled ; ( and he requests his friends to be on the look out for a suitable residence J he will give due notice of hit address and arrange

      ments . Meethtb Ttdvil . —Mr . O'Connor will cheerfully accept the invitation of his Welsh friends as soon as possible after his liberation ; but he is reiotved that his nest tour shall be . one of work—net of mere u vsele : s display ;" and has , therefore , resolved not to incur the fatigue and heavy expence of travelling , without further remuneration than the gremt pleasure of being wearied . He will not accept of an invitation from any town or place until the people therein are prepared to present him with petition sheets , for the Charter , and Restoration of Frost Williams and Jones , signed according

      to a scale of census to be hereafter laid down . Suppose 10 , 000 for Merthyr Tydvil . Then Mr . O'Connor can relieve each locality of ail the expence of postage and transmission of petitions ; and can have the whole petition arranged for the meeting of Parliament ; where this cannot be accomplished , Mr . O'Connor's presence trill not be required , as Chartism will not have found itself to be in a sound state ; and his visits would be too short for immediate practical use for the purpose of initiation . The same answer appRes to Hyde , and scores of places to which he has been invited .

      J . W . C— "O'Connor ' s Release" shall appear in a week er two . T . C . asks , If a person is unable to procure a register of the exact time of his birth , owing to some negligence , either on the part of his parents or the clrrk , at the time he was baptised , —will the testimony of both his parents , accompanied with a written statement in the family Bible of his and the rest of the children s eges as they came into existence , be sufficient to establish that fact V We should think it would . Joseph Rowell . —They do not . The Kottisgham Chartists wish to have the name of some one of the National Charter Association in Neicry , Ireland . National Chabteb Association . —The Provisional Secretary tcrites us : — " / wish you to notice to Hull , Leeds , Keighley , Nanlwich , MUnrow , ' Dewsbury , Delph , and Sundew-land , to send tne

      their addresses . William Worsdell , of Hull , wrote for cards , but afforded tne no clue to his address . " We have received no Scottish Patriot this week . Thb ' Notice of Mr . Bolwell ' s lecture at Devonport , which took place on the 4 th instant , was not posted for us until the \ 3 lh , and did net reach us until the loth—just eight days later than it ought to have done . News to be of any value at all must be sent to us when fresh . i . Sjuth , Pltmocth . — We know not what he means by " great dissatisfacton prevailing among the 1 Western Rods' by their matter being treated wilh ntgkcL If there be any neglect it is their own—not ours . We have always inserted everything they have sent us , and have never delayed it for a single week when received in time . The complaints of the women about a deficiency of police news , murders , rapes , | c , shall receive all due attention , with due time and circumstance .

      Bb&nabd M'Cabtnet , of 13 , Cross-Hall Street , Liverpool , trill feel obliged to the person who wrote to him from London , under the signature of Cosmo , for his real name and address . The report of the election meeting at Kettering , holden on the 8 / A instant , reached us on the 16 th . — Rather too stale . Mr . Wall begs to state , in answer to the kind invitation from some of the friends in Brighton and Maidstone , that he trill fee \ proud to accept of their offer , when he finds his duties will permit him . His friends shall hear from him in a short time , and if he can by any means spare time to visit them , he will .

      SUNDEBLAND . —Lecture ojv Teetotalism . —On Monday evening last , Mr . George Binns delivered an able and eloquent address in the Arcade Room , on Ibe subject of Teetotalism . This lecture was delivered in compliance with a special invitation from the Committee of the Total Abstinence Society , and when it is remembered that this Committee , or a part of them , refuted the use of the room for a tea to Messrs . Williams and Binns , on their liberation from prison , the fact of their invitiDg Mr .

      Bums now is a strong proof that a more liberal and raiional spirit pervades the members of it . It also shews that Chartists and Chartism are differently estimated now . The room was crowded , and the enthusiastic manner in which Mr . Binns was received , the cheers throughout his address and at its close , proied that the audience appreciated his services . It was annopneed , at the close of Mr . Binns's address , that in compliance with a similar invitation , Mr . Williams woald deliver an address in the same place , next Monday evening .

      HUDDEESPHUJ ) . —Magistrates' Office , Saturdat , Jclt 10 . —Mr . Copstock , cabinet-maker , teetotaller , and anti-Corn Law repealer was charged with having broken the windows of Mr . Turner , currier , by throwing stones on Tuesday , the 21 st of Jane , when the county candidates were abcat to address the people , who had peaceably vpembled to hear them , when the b&jsc and brutal Whigs made the bloody attempt to ride them down without the least provocation . The case was defended by Mr . Clay , whose great abilities were unable to shake the evidence of the witness , who swore to having seen the stone thrown by the prisoner break the square . Although many more were broken , the Magistrates fined him 4 * . Would this have been the case had they proved it against the Chartists ?

      BftBlffBTigg—On Thursday night ] or early on Frid * y morning last , fire broke oat on the premises of Messrs . Young sod Co . which was fortunately got under without mnch damage having be « n done . Prompt assistance was rendered by every one present to stop the ravages of the fire , and among the most conspicuous in working the engine was the Rev . Mr . Cooke , Catholic priest . Kkki UiWOSTH . —According to notice , a meeting of rate payers was called on the 10 th of Jnne , to take into consideration the laying of a rate of 2 £ d . in the pound , the Rev . C . Quartsey in the ch&ir , who stated the reasons for the rate being levied . Among the items was the sum of ^ 32 which had been paid by the Churchwardens : this it

      was contended would render the rate illegal , and upon this ground , an amendment was moved to adjourn for six months . The Reverend Chairman not thinking of opposition , was so disconcerted as to be unable to carry on the meeting ; after a few ^ rords from on e of hi 3 friends he declared the meeting was over bat the rate woald be levied . The antirate party issued placard * exhorting the rate-payers not to pay an illegal rate . This caused another notice to be affixed to the church door , calling another meeting for the 24 th Juno , when the Rev . H . M . Villiers , vicar , took the chair . The

      churchwardens proposed and seconded that a rate of 2 ^ d . in the pound be granted . An amendment was proposed for a rate of Jd . in the pound which the Rev . chairman refused to put . This brought forth another amendment , namely , that the meeting do adjourn to this day twelve months . The Rev . chairman said be would pat no motion which had for its object the defeat of the rate . Great excitemeat prevailed ; the original motion was then put and lost by a great majority . A poll was demanded and fixed for Friday and Saturday 25 th and 2 ttth , from eight to four o ' clock each day . and at the cIobo the rate was carried by 3 T 9 to 129 .

      GLASGOW . —Testimonial . —It will bo recollected by our readers that we noticed some time ago the laudable and unwearied exertions of Mr . James M'Birnie to induce the civil authorities to institute an investigation into the weights and measures used by the shopkeepers in this district . He was successful ; the weights of almost every shopkeeper were found deficient , and of course they were fined accordingly . Grateful for the benefit he bad thns rendered the community , a number of the inhabitants met on

      Wednesday evening week , in Scott's Coffee House , Mr . Robertson is the chair , when an elegant watch and appendages , value twelve guineas , were presented to htm . by Mr . John M'Nab . The watch bore the following inscription : — " Presented to Mr . James M'Birnie , by the inhabitants of Cowcaddens , as a token of their esteem , for his perseverance in procuring an inspection of weights and measures . " Appropriate and patriotic addresses were delivered ^ and the evening was spent with that sociality which such an occasion was calculated to inspire .

      Salford Hundred Quarter Sessions .

John Royle , James Oaks , BeDjamin Roberts , John Briggs , John Clarke , James Price , Job Tankard , John Cookson , Charles

      Sutton , Thomas Jenkinson , Richard Joule , John Clare , James Boulton , and John Stockton , wore brought up on Saturday ; and Dr . Brown , who appeared on the part of the prosecution , stated , that , as this Court had pot the power to inflict that punishment on the prisoners , if they were found guilty , which the law provided , they wonld be tried at the assizes . To this the prisoners made no objection ; and they were then informed by the Chairman , that they would be tried at the ensuing assizes . They were then removed from the dock .

      Inquisitorial Mode of Administering Injustice . —A superintendent of the police force , named Castle , stationed at Wolverhampton , was brought before two of the Magistrates for that borough , on Tuesday , the 6 th instant , upon the charge of attempting to commit a rape upon the body of hie servant , a girl of fifteen yeara of age , named Warner . This very excellent sample of the corps , it seems , by the statement of the Staffordshire Examiner , went down stairs early on Sunday morning , and finding the girl engaged in cleaning the fire-place of afront room , forcibly carried her into a back room , and took liberties with her person of a nature so disgusting that we cannot publish the particulars . The R irl , immediately she was released , hastened home to

      her parents , who reside in Stafford-street , and made knows the occurrence . On Monday morning , the indignant father applied for a warrant to apprehend Castle upon the charge , and asserts that he met with some reluctance in obtaining it , and that upon his reqairiBg it should be placed in a constable ' s hands for execution , he was refused , and told tha " , the csse must be heard in private . This , it appears , was done ; and the superintendent , who rested his defence upon the plea that he had merely bared the complainant ' s person in a sort of joke—that she had used psper for lighting fires which he wanted for another purpose , and that he had turned up her clothes to chastise her for it—was fined 40 s . and costs . The complainant , however , positively sw * re that he had exposed his own person in tne liberties he took with her , and that they were of a very different nature to that alleged by Castle . It does not

      appear that he received the castigation he deserved , or that he has been dismissed from his situation , as he ought to have been , if the facts were as stated by the aggrieved parent . These private hearings or secret examinations savour too much of the inquisitorial tribunals of the Continent ever to become palatable to the people of this country . If justice is really the thing meant , those who are to dispense it ought not to be ashamed of dispensing it in the face of the world . But if the object be to screen the guilty , and disgust every impartial person , then the proceedings of these Wolverhampton Magistrates were eminently adapted to the attainment of it . If thiB poor girl had been the child of one of these Solons , it is a question if the offtnee woald have been so snugly disposed of , or the offender let rff with impunity ; for what effect will a nominal fine of 40 s . have upon him !

      Strange if True . —At the hannted house at Clewer , near Windsor , the other day , an elderly gentleman was floored by a cross-buttock from the phantom-fist of the goblin who tenants that mysterious domicile . Nothing was seen , but very considerable inconvenience was felt , by the venerable gentleman . Outrage at Waterford—Eleven Persons Shot . —On Thursday evening , about nine o ' clock , a crowd of children assembled in the Manor , and were shouting , " Down with the Tories , " " Wyso and Barron for ever , " with several exclamations of a like nature , when a monster , named Morgan , who resides in Henry-street , opened his door , and deliberately fired a pistol , loaded with balls or Blu / rs . on the young and

      innocent creatures ; he then reloaded and fired again , and then shut his door , and fired a third shot from his window . He succeeded in his deadly purpose . Will it be credited , he wounded eleven defenceless children , three of whom are not expected to recover ! Some boys , indignant at thib horrid and brutal outrage , assailed the residence of this wretched and blood-stained man , and broke the windows in front of his house , but they were Btopped by a few discreet neighbours . The police conducted the prisoner in perfect safety to the Major ' s effice . The following Lamed wounded persons ( all being under the age oi eighteen ) sat at the side bar : —Johanna Henneberry , Alice Foley , Mary Doyle , Alice Keating , Michael

      Kelly , and Martin Magrath . Some of the other persons wounded were Bent to the Leper Hospital , and others are in so dangerous a situation that they cannot be removed . Among the latter axe a son of Mr . Thomas Torpey , a little girl named Mountain , and a boy named Quilty . About half-past ten the prisoner Morgan was brought forward , when the Mayor read the information of some of the wounded people , charging the prisoner with having fired two pistol shots . The Mayor said he should commit the prifontr , and would not take bail . Since writing the above , we have heard that the child named Mountain has died of her -wounds . Morgan , is fully committed . —Abridged from the Wattrford Chr » - nicle .

      Capture of a Whalb . —A nnall whale , of the finner species that frequent the Atlantic , and usually follow the herrings in their migrations , was caught at the stake-nets of Mr Scott , near the conflux of the Pow Burn , on the afternoon of Thursday . The person in cbaTge of the nets , an old man of the name of William Graham , whil * standing at the door of his hut , about two o ' clock , then high tide , observed an object of considerable eize rolling about the stakes , within a few yards of the shore , and blowing up Btreams of water as if from a />< cTeau . Without any one to assist—for he was alone at the time—the courageous fisherman hastened to the

      spot , and , with no other implements tban a pocket gully , and a rope which he brought with him , mshed in , middle deep , to the attack . The dorsal fin of the huge animal alone was seen as he approached , the water being more than sufficient to cover its entire body , thongh somewhat shallower farther out . The fish , in no way entangled with the nets , must have been sick , otherwise it might easily have escaped . Graham , however , ran great riik in attempting to capture it . With the utmost caution and activity he succeeded in making an incision in its tail with hiB knife , and in attaching the rope to it by a running-hitch ; but he had no sooner accomplished this than the ponderouB animal leave symptoms of nndimini&hed

      ngoar . Throwin / r itself op in a perpendfadw podtwn , it continued for some time to lash the water * oout with iu tail in » fearful manner , and made several sfforts to regain the deep ; but the " gallant Graham , " holding on by the rope , contrived to coanteract its motions . After a desperate contest , daring which no had the address to inflict numerous wounds about the neck and jaws of his formidable opponent , dyeing the water around with its blood , tin conflict was observed by two persons in a boat , who happened to be out shooting at a short distanco . Rowing to the aid of Graham , the flan , by their united prowess , was at length , and with much difficulty , drawn high and dry on the sandB . The

      struggle , however , was not yet concluded , for itr continued to exert itself with such fury that the rope by which the captors had it moored to a stake driven into the sand was snapped in two like a piece of whipcord . The party then fired a bullet into its head , and after the inflation of sundry blows the protracted conflict was brought to a close by the death of the fish about eight o ' clock . As the carcase was allowed to lie ob the beach till Saturday afternoon , a number of people from the neighbourhood had an opportunity of gratifying their cariosity by a sight of it . It measured in length upwards of 14 feet , in girth between seven and eight feet , and might weigh about a ton and a half . —Ayr Paper .

My letter was to Shorrocks ; and if you look at it you will find that I was addressing it to you thus , " My dear C , " and then corrected myself , as being on public business , and your name being associated with the Executive , I thought the letter should be to you , and that the letter to me was from you . Therefore , when I said that I wrote to Campbell , I should have said to Shorrocks , and you all bother me very much by not putting any address to your letters . You have not put any , and I am therefore obliged to send this for you addressed to the good veteran , Wheeler . Yours , very faithfully , Feargvs O'Coiwon .

The Members and friends of this body will sup together on an early occasion . ADDRESS OF THE MEN OF WARYLEBONE AND

      PANCRAS TO THE FRIENDS OF THE CHARTER . Brothers , —We have had , aa you are aware , a long fight with our enemies the Whigs and Tories , and though unsuccessful , we feel confident that our conduct has met with the approval of all friendB . A base and dastardly trick having been played upon the people of the borough of Marylebone , we considered ib necessary to vindicate our character by placing Mr . Villiers Sankey in the field . We did do bo , and we were beaten , and our strength appears to be small , but why ? through the treachery of those electors who , after promising for us , voted against us . The election has , of course , involved us to a small extent , and we ask of you , Brothers and Friends , to assist us , so that no burthen will be thrown on the shoulders of our late respected Candidate .

      We are , yours in union , Thomas Wall , Thomas Smith , Wm . Beck , John Humphreys , James Henwood , Robert Marley , H . B . Marley , James Fearn , r . a . g 00 dfell 0 w . Marylebone . —Present Struggles and want of Confidence We have , notwithstanding all that the Whig press may state to the contrary , and they have lied enormously of late , no confidence whatever in the present representatives (?) of this borough . iSir

      Ben j . Hall and Sir Chas . Napier , two knightly state paupers , who glory in Malthusian Whig principles , and advocate free trade (?)) It is true they have been returned by a large majority ; a majority whicb has left those aristocratic Conservatives , Cabbell and Hamilton ( who have spent thousands ) and our own more than ever prised Sunkey In the lurch ; but still we have no confidence in them ; they may do very well for , and doubtless serve , those Malthusians well who have elected them , nay , mere , they may possess the confidence of a few frequenters of the pothouses , whose love for fumes and intoxicating beverages bo mantle their clear reason , as to prevent them from judging for themselves ; but they never can , and what is more , never will , possess the confidence of the enlightened

      portion of either Whig , Tory , or Chartist in Maiylfebone . I have noticed this at several of their election meetings ! Napier ' s especially , ( whose first meeting bad well nigh created a riot . ) I have traced it from the saloon to the tap-room , aye , even to the hustings , where the " no confidence" expressions were moat manifest . I have seen Napier , the idol of pot-and-pipe-nien , rave like an idiot at the manifest confidence ia him . I have seen thousands wave him off the hustings ( in Portland Place ) without an bearing -, I have heard their exclamations , their groans , their hootings and hissing ; and I have said to myself , by whom is tie esteemed , aad by Whom considered , ' a fit and proper person" to represent so important a borough as Marylebone ? and cum * mon sense replies—merely his pot-house friends and

      electors . This want of confidence increase * our political struggles in this quarter , md makes our cause progress rapidly ; as a first step , it induced our leading friends to bring out our hitherto retiring , but able an * unwearied advocate , Stephen Villiers Sankey , who , though below all tbe other candidates in point of VOtea , Stands confessedly highest in public estimation , as the attention , applause , and shew of hands , proves . Hurrah for Yllliars Banker , the only truly elected representative of the industrious classes , aad the respected even of the Whigs and Tories ! On the evening of his ever-to-be-remeabered nomination , the glorious 30 th of June , we had two splendid Chartist election

      meetings , in aid of sending him to the poll on the succeeding day ; one at the Working Men's Hall , Circus-street , New Road , at eight o'clock , and the other at the Black Horse , Rathbone Place , at ten . That in the Hall was crowded to excess , and when the people's candidate appeared , the cheers were truly deafening . A resolution was moved by Mr . Wall , ( WalJ , to whom the Chartists are indebted for the rise of Chartism , in a united form , in St Pancras ) that though there -were several candidates contending for tbe representation of Marsleboae , Mr . Sankey was the only man that possessed the confidence of the people ; when it was pat to tbe meeting , «©» bands ( out of tbe 700—

      the uort the hall ma hold ) wm held up for it , and on the contrary being taken / there were two / Is this not proof that Ssniey is sleeted ? Three tremendous eheers and one-cheer moMwer * then given by the- meeting in token of their approbation , amidst which the noble Republioan retired . A like compliment was also paid to the " eaged lioa , " and our beloved exiles across the water , Frost , Williams , and Jones , God bless them ! and that glorious creed the Charter , after which the meeting dispersed , inwardly cursing Napier , fee and their crew , and declaring that Sankey was the only niau that possessed their confidence . Now what will be the result of this decision ? A portion of the electors of this great metropolis ( which contains nearly double the number of inhabitants of Manchester , have placed Hall at the head of the poll ( Napier being second ) , but the

      people declare Mr . Sankey to be their representative , duly elected , and having their confidence ; and they consider Hall and Napier as two unbargained-for servants without characters , who have usurped places in the people ' s own House , to the exclusion of their ( the people ' s ) own accredited representative . However , we have got our member land a Right Honourable member he is ) , and the electors ( or at least a portion ot them ; bare got theirs ; aura , who la possessed of the confidence of the thousands , is excluded from our own House I because bis constituents are lodgers , ( and it is "Fell known that lodgers are of times more enlightened than those who claim the house , and , in general , pay

      the rent and taxes . ' ); theirs , possessed of no real confidence whatever , are admitted , because they are sent in by persons who live in the bottom of ah-o-u-s-e , "free gratis for nothing ; ours is the advocate of the interests of all ; theirs of a class only . Sankey , whom the enthusiasts have rejected ; we will reserve him for « urs * lves : he is a man of whom we may well be proud , and who , if I mistake not , can be of nearly as much service to tbe people out of the House as IN it As Tom Attwood once said of himself , he ia undoubtedly possessed of great talents , poaseses great influence , and enjoys the confidence of the ' good and true" of all classes .

      BIRMINGHAM . ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE " PLAGUE . " The " Liberals" of Birmingham have made another attempt to gull the natives , and finding that Douglas , Edmonds , and Co . were completely laid on the shelf , they sent for Mr . Murray , of Manchester , to prop up their fulling fortune . Large bills were posted , announcing two lectures by the above-named individual , on tbe injustice of the bread tax , to take place at the Publicoffice , on Tuesday and Wednesday evening , at eight o ' clock . At half-past seven , on Tuesday evening , the Publicoffice was crowded to suffocation , and the various rooms adjoining completely filled .

      Mr . Murray attempted to commence his lectnre , but was interrupted with cries of " adjourn , " " we ' nearly stifled , " " Stephenson-square , " "Oxford-road , " Ac At length it was moved and seconded that Mr . Benjamin Hill , a atraightfarward Chartist , should take the chiir . This was carried unanimously amid loud cheers . Mr . Murray demurred . He said he had not been used to such scenes as that which he then witnessed . ( Shouts of " Perhaps not ; we ' re wide awake here . We'll have none of your Manchester doings here , " &c . ) Finding it was no use to object to the apppointment of a chairman , he then stated his wish that the meeting bhould be adjourned . A show of hands was taken on the subject , when it was decided that the business should proceed . Mr . Hill then addressed the meeting , and declared his determination to procure a fair bearing for all parties who thought proper to address them .

      Mr . Murray endeavoured to procure a bearing , but each was the crowded state of the place that it was nine o ' clock before the Chairman ( who exerted hiaiself with all his might ) could procure him a hearing . He at length proceeded with the usual statements of the anti-Corn Law advocates , interrupted with shouts of " Wheu we get the Charter we'll repeal all bad laws , " " We have heard all you said a hundred times over . " Mr . Murray declared himself no Whig . He was no bit-by-bit reformer . He was for the people getting their rights , but he would take what ho could get After a drawling and ineffective address , the lecturer concluded by informing the meeting that as ho would have other opportunities of addressing them he Bhould conclude and reserve to himself the right of answering any person that thought proper to oppose his views .

      The Chairman requested the meeting to keep order , bo that an arrangement should be made as to the time that each speaker should be allowed to occupy . He thought that as it was rather late ten minutes would be sufficient He then put it to the meeting . It was unanimously agreed to . Mr . John Collins then addressed them . He said that one of the statements put forth by the lecturer seemed to him rather strange . He had told them that he was no bit by bit reformer , anrt yet he was an advocate for a bit As to the question of the Corn Laws , be agreed with the lecturer that they were unjust ; in fact , the people had found that out twenty-five years since , and had been letting the country hear of it time after Um « . But the patties who were now crying out for their rep « al never said a word about them until they began to suffer themselves . The working classes hod

      been so used to suffering , that their skins were now middling thick , and be , for OBe , would allow the manufacturers to have a taste of what the working classes had previously suffered . He would not help them unless they consented to help the people to get the Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) Ik was well known that the manufacturers had the power of applying all the benefits that might arise from a repeal of tbe Corn Laws to their advantage . He therefore would not trouble himself about the C « m Law question , until they gave him a guarantee in the shape of a vote , which wonld insure him a share of the benefits to be derived from arepeal of the Corn Laws . There were also other bad laws that ought to be repealed , and if they wer « to agitate first for the repeal of the Corn Laws , and afterwards for a repeal of the New Poor Law , and s « on , he thought that looked like bit by bit reform ; he therefore could not join it .

      At tbe conclusion of Mr . Collins' address , the meeting commenced a general shout of '' White , White . " Mr . White , who stood in the prisoner's dock , stated that he could not gain access to the platform . He was immediately lifted over the iron spikes , and landed comfortably on the magistrate ' s table , a . uid loud and repeated cheers . He said that the lecture of Mr . Murray was made up of the usual statements put forward by the advocates of Corn taw repeal , in fact , such was the fliuisiness of the argument used by Mr . Murray , that a few minutes would suffice to overthrow them . But why trouble themselves with again going into the question ? Had they not held a meeting in the Town Hall a short time previous , and held a discussion for six hours and a half with some of the

      cleverest men in the country , before twelve thousand people , who , after patiently listening to both sides of the question , had voted the corn , sugar , and timber question to be an insult to the suffering millions ? He maintained that not only was the paltry measure an insult , but the bare fact of calling a meeting of workiag men , in order to appeal to their reason and judgment , and afterwards refusing them a vote , on the ground of ignorance , was a most outrageous insult to the working classes , and as such ought to be resented . But what after all did the advocates of Corn Law repeal propose to do for the working classes ? They say they want to increase trade , and also to give the people cheap bread . Now his friend Murray would admit that the trade of this country had increased

      more than ten-fold within the last fifty years , and he would ask the meeting whether they were ten times better off ? ( " No , no , worse" ) Well , then , if an increase of trade had made the people worse off , what could be thought of the anti-Corn Law doctrine ? The anti-Corn Law men told them that they could not compete with foreigners ; but he maintained that the people of this country were not competing with them , but with some of the cleverest English mechanics , who had left this country on account of the oppression under which they laboured . This fact had been admitted by the lecturer . Even admitting all the statements of the Com Law repealers to be true , he would ask them whether it was just or reasonable that the mechanic In England should be

      compelled to work for the whole world , that he might be enabled to procure tbe mere necessaries of life for himself and family ? Had Providence : placed some particular curse on the labourers of England , that they should be compelled to waste their lives in the stink and smoke of factories for thirteen w fourteen hours a day , in order to keep themselves alive , whilst foreigners were enjoying the sunshine ? ( " No , no , " and cheers . ) For his part , he wanted to see men well fed and clothed , without eaduring bo mueh misery ; and if foreigners wanted manufactured goods , let them work for themselves . He maintained that the boasted commercial system of this country was a mass of fraud and reckless gambling , and that from it proceeded all the miseries and heart-burningB ttiat afflicted society . He was for doing away with the whole system , instead of

      increasing its evils , which was the avowed object of the Corn Law repealers . He did not believe that working men were brought into this world to be the mere machines of other men—to create for them immense fortunes , whilst they who produced all were la the lowest depths of misery . He felt that he was a man , and would never be content with less than full and complete justice . ( Loud cheers . ) Tbe lecturer had admitted that the prinelplu « l the People ' s Charter were just aud trae ; the man ot England bad found that no man could controvert those principles . He therefore called on them never to cease their endeavours to obtain their establishment , and they could then repeal tha Cora Laws , and all other laws that interfered with the comforts amd happiness of themselves and families . Mr . White retired amid repeated cheers .

      Mr . Murray said a few words ia reply . He had not heard either Mr . White or Mr . Collins object to bis views as to the evils of the Com Laws , and should not interfere in their political opinions , although he was forgetting what he could . The Chairman gave notice that the meeting was adjourned to the following evening , when it would be held at Duddeston-row . Three hearty cheers were then given for the People ' s Charter , and the same with right good will for Feargua C'Conaor , after wcica tbe meeting separated .

      NEWCASTLE AND SUNDERLAND ELECTIONS . TO THE IDITOtt OF THB KOS . THSUK STAB . Dear Sir , —It appears in the above boroughs that J . B . O'Brien , at Newcastle-upon-Tyne , and Mr . Binus , at Sunderland , were placed legally ia nomination , and that they were , by the respective returning efflcers , declared duly elected ; and thai neither Mr . W \ H . Ord , at Newcastle , or Alderman , Thompson , at Sunderland , demanded a poll , and aa no resignation was tendered for either O'Brien or Binns , these gentlemen , to all intents and purpoMs , are the legsd M . P . Y for those places , yet the returns are tilled up with other names , via ., Ord and Thompson . Now it being of all things most important to the Chartists as a body , that men like O'Brien and Binns should

      be in Parliament , I beg leave to ask , through the medium of the Star , what are the necessary steps to effect that purpose . Is it by an eleotion petition l is a committee of the House of Commons the tribunal that must settle tbe matter ? if so . money will be required , and it being a national question , I beg to suggest the propriety of th « Executive of the National Charter Association ordering a levy of one shilling per head on the whole of the members , and which I am sure , poor as the mass of members are , it would be readily responded to for such a purpose . This , backed by a subscription from Scotland , would , in my opinion , be sufficient to effect the purpose : only , if done , let it be done instantly . Hurrah for O'Brien and Binns l

      THE * JOB CHANCELLOR'S FAREWELL Jf The injurious influence which wa 8 brought to bear against the Reform party during the late con-., lest in this city , by the appointment of Baron Campbell , we never ceased to lament . We warned the WhigBof what their " job" would bring about ; but they persevered with their eyes open , and now -they must only bear the results . Baron Campbell will , however , sit no more . ' He took his farewell of the profession on Monday . After giving judgment on eomo unimportant cases , he stated , as reported : — " That the motions and short causes being now finished , the court stood adjourned . He took that opportunity of stating that he found the practice in

      Ireland much improved and shortened , particularly by the abolition of the &ix clerks , which example he considered the courts in England would do well to follow—that he still perceived matters in which improvements could be introduced , and that h * knew it was the opinion of Lord Cottenham that the pleadings in equity might be greatly shortened , for that at present the great expence incurred in proportion to the sums recovered was in many instances . tantamount to a denial of justice * and the parties frequently submitted ( aud wisely ) to tbe original injury rather than seek redress by so expensive a process . This proceeded chiefly from , the plaintiff , in bis bill , telling his story in his own favour , which frequently turned out a thrice-told tale . This might be greatly shortened by the parties merely putting forward

      their grievanceeand their reasons for seeking redress which iu many oases might be done by petition , and an order of reference at once made thereon . That , iu the law reforms which he had already introduced , he had the aid of the English bar freely given him ; and is the contemplated changes he now had in view , he had every reason to expect the like aid from the Irish bar ; but he mainly relied upon tha co-operation of that accomplished lawyer , Sir . Michael O'Loghlen , who decided with that happy aptitude for meeting the justice of the case so desirable in au equitable judge . That be was quite aware , before he could carry these changes into effect , he might be reduced to the situation of a private person ; but that was no reason why he should not continue his exertions for the public benefit ) ; and he felt that lie had , while holding this high situation , filled it well . '

      Now , Baron Campbell has sat altogether in tha Irish Court of Chancery about twenty hours . He retires , and on the death of Lord Manners or Lord Plunket—the one in his 87 th year , and the other upwards of 76—receives £ 4 , 000 a j ear pension , which , taking the average of human , lite , he will enjoy for thirty years . Twenty hours , we believe , contain some 1 , 200 minutes ; and £ 4 , 000 a year for thirty years will give £ 120 , 000—so that it requires not to be very deeply read in Cocker to arrive at th « conclusion that Baron Campbell will receive , for the term of his natural life , just One Hundred Pounds for every minute he sat as our Lord Chaucellor . ' - * - that is , at the rate of £ 0 , 000 per hour ! And beside * this he had a Peerage ! Lucky Baron Campbell , say we I—Dublin Monitor .
