      interest The meeting was very quiet , with the exception of some interruption froia a Bine Bottle , who is known in Bacup by the Base of "Past Eleven . " alias " Little Bobby , " sod two Cotton Lords , one of whom actually can neither read or write , and the other we pass by in silent contempt ; but if amn they annoy us , ¦ we shall lay their names and character before the public The meeting gave three cheers for Fesrgus O'Connor ? three cheers for the Charter ; and three e&eer * for the speakers ; and then separated . Thus has the most tyrannical little village is England been broken in upon by the perseveranc * of the working men . —We have to acknowledge the receipt of Si . 3 d . from Rockdiffe calico block printers and a few other friends .

      on the editor of the Weekly Dispatch for the paragraph at the head of Notice to Correspondents , headed Political Blood Hounds , for his partial conduct in selecting such , extracts from the sermon of Mr . Watkins , as best suited io the views of his own mind , to calumniate the Chartists generaGy as MMginT of the deepest die ; and that the said editor is deserving the censure of every honest and upright mind for the one-sided view which he has taken in toe said paragraph contained in the Dispatch of Sunday , the 3 rd of October , and that we are determined to support no other portion of the press but that which supports the rights and iibertks of the industrious millions . "

      COVENTRY . —Chabtisx . — A public lecture was announced to take place on Friday , at ei ght o ' clock , in the George Room , Little Park-street At the hoHr appointed , the large room was nearly filled—ilr . Mahoa , oi Manchester , in the rhafrr After a few appropriate and pithy obserYa . ti . ouB , the chairman introduced Mr . Mason , as M . P . for Gateshead , Mr . Mason mounted the platform , amid the plaudits of the assembly . He commenced by saying that the Charter must become the law of the land , to enable the poor oppressed working man to better his condition , and render his home comfortable and happy . He showad the mealing , in a cl ear and forcible manner , the benefits to be derived from a democratic Government , based upon the

      principles of the People ' s Charter . He made allusions to the French Rerointion , spoke of the conduct of the middle classes towards Robespiere , and warned the ± > = ople of England sg&iast putting any faith in middle class promises . He touched npon various topics , and finished by a meet eloquent appeal to the young men present to assist in obtaining the Charter . He sat down amid thundering applause , after speaking for nearly two hoars . Mr . Thomas Marshall proposed a vote of thanks to the lecture for his able and talented lecture , which was seconded by Mr . Elackwell , and carried unanimously . Thanks were given to the chairman , and the meeting quietly dispersed , highly pleased with the night ' s proceedings .

      ABERGAVEWNY . —We keep progressing here , sad cautious who we admit into our Association . We transmitted to the executive £ 1 , and we shall continue to support them as far as in as lies . At our weekly TOw&Sng q { ilondaj , the 27 th L&stant , it was proposed fey Mr . Griffith * and seconded by Mr . Holbrook , " That we , the Chartists of Abergvrenny , in public meeting amemMftd , through the olomns of the Star , do most respectfully assure the slaving millions of dor Irish brethren , that we shall never zeefc until the Charter , to the fullest extent be given to Ireland as well as KrigWirt , and further , t % use every lawXnl- and constitutional

      means in oar power , and never to rest satisfied , even at the risk of oar 13 e and propfcrty / antU equal ' justice is meted out to England , Ireland , ' Seottand ,- asd Wales . " We would also suggest , that such resolutions should grace fhe pages of the Star from every Association in England , Scotland , and Wales , thereby showing to Irishmen that we ate their real friends , and not as the big Beggarmau , Dan , has chosen to call us , the open foe . Erin go bragh ; At the rama meeting ,. a vote ef censure was passed npon Henry Hetherington , for his baae and cowardly conduct , in chalitnging the People ' s Friend , who had just come from his cold cell , after a jocg confinement , and whose time was taken up in ten-

      dering his respects to the friends who ao kindly invited him all rouad the kingdom . Wa hose , for the future , that Friend O'Connor will think sifltt men fa > n « ath his notice , for , rest assured , bo la too closely entwined around the hearts of an enlightened people , that iny attack which he or any of his pirty could attempt in order to sever him from tham would prove fruitless . — Mr . Black lectured here on the 30 th ult , and although we h * d but ene hour ' s notice , the room was ttowded . This is the first lecture given on Chartism here , except by our own members . Several of the middle class maa were there , and were highly pleased with the discourse . It was proposed that two lecturers be appointed for Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire , aad that our Asso ciation contribute their share ; on the show of hands being takes , the Chairman declared it unanimous .

      DROSHBDA . —We have seen a private letter from a good Chartist in Drogheda to Mr . Peter Hoey fr « n which we give the following : — "I also want to know from you , as agent of the Northern Star , whether you can send me the Star as early as Sunday morning ; for there are thirteen in number who wish to boy the paper , and give you the credit of seeding ft , if you can let us have it by the time above-mentioned . We have received a good supply of Start this last fortnight , but still they are not half equal to the demand fer them ; so great has been the rpread of Chartist principles since you left ; of course I mean the working classes—and some of those who were ready to knock

      a man down for being a Cuartast a few weeks since . Many , indeed , are the conversions these last few days to Chartism , notwithstapding all the fearful opposition it has met with . And I have to inform you that there are two clubs more to be formed in other parts of the town , for the purpose of having the Star on Sunday morning . The Tontine society , which Michael Crosby beloDgs to , called a general meeting of the society for the purpose of putting him out , for the treasonable crime of reading the Star ; and after bringing all their powers to bear on him , they failed . We are preparing to send eighty names to be enrolled in the Dublin Universal Suffrage Association . "

      PERTH . —Mr . J . B . O'Brien ' s release from Lancas ter Castle was announced on Friday last , by the display of a considerable number of nags ; and in the afternoon a meetini was held in Canal Crescent , to congratulate him on the event The evening was wet , and somewhat boisterous , aad the meeting was held at an unusually early hour ; owing to this , and other concurring causes , it was but thinly attended . They agreed , however , to several resolutions , and an address was read , and unanimously approved of ; and a committee was appointed to forward it to Mr . O'Brien without delay . —( Received too laiefor our last )

      CARLISLE . —The Council of the Carlisle Radical Association held its usual weekly meeting , on Saturday evening last , when arrangements were entered into for the defence of William B ake , who stands charged with assaulting a policeman , during the late election fer the Borough . We mentioned this case a few weeks ago , and gave the substance of the evidence against Blake , aa given before the magistrates at the Town Hall , and had thougkt , from the character of that evidence , that the prosecutioa would have-been stayed . Indeed , the Mayor , John Dixoa , Esq , told a deputation , who waited upon him to make the necessary " enquiry , that , except it was " a very flagrant case indeed , he would endeavour to stop the prosecution , as he thought there had been a sufficiency of such prosecutions ; and that he

      would examine the depositions . " On the deputation calling again , they were astonished to find , that the magistrate ! who committed Blaka would not give way , so that the prosecution will go on at the forthcoming Sessions , which are to be held at Cockermouth , in the course of a fortnight The defence of Blake will cost upwards of five pounds—in addition to what has already been expended in the other cases—z sum not less than from thirty to forty pounds—all of which has been raised by penny subecriptiens . The prosecutions will have cost the Borough a much larger sum—not less , we suppose , than one bundred pounds ! Thus has the poor been put to much expenca and inconvenience , and the borough to the expenditure of an enormous sum of

      money , which has been squandered away in silly and UDcalled-for prosecutions , with one exception . We would recommend the people to call upon some one of the Town Council to move for a return of all the expences of the late prosecutions arising oat of the borough election ; and thus show to the inhabitants how the funds of the town have been expended . Did these Whig borough magistrate * act with the same rigour and caution at the county election when Sir Jamf-s Graham , the Home Secretary , was most shamefully treated ; when , as he retired from the hustings , a parcel of hired ruffians attacked him and his fritndi on their way to the Bush Inn , broke Sir James ' s umbrella over his head , ill-treated his son , and assaulted his party with brickbats and other missiles ? Ne ! they

      allowed all these gross outrages to pass over without the slightest attempt to bring the offenders to justice ! nay , we may 50 further and say , that , we were grieved to hear some of the Whig party rejoice at the ill-treatment Sir James had met with . Nor can we pass over the conduct of some of these same gentlemen , previous to the passing of the Reform BilL Aye . ' these were the palmy days of Whig agitat ion , when neither life nor property was safe , when oar present mayor ( not then 10 tenacious of our laws ) actually recommended the people at a public meeting , to pay no more taxes , but to button up their breeches pockets—when our marketplace nightly glared with the flimes of torches , to exhibit to a gazing and heedless throng , the effigies of the Duke of Wellington , the bishops , Colonel Lowther and others , about to be set fire to , in the public

      Marketplace , amidst the maddening shouts of an infuriated and deluded exowd , and the heartless laughter of the entire Whig faction . This was conduct sufficiently disgraceful in itself ; but what will be thought of the party , when we state th » t some of the very Whig leaders not only countenanced such disorderly proceeding , but actually encouraged them , by subscribing money , and furnishing old clothes to fa bricste the effigies , which previous to their being burnt , were eximined by them and admired for the likeness they bore to the originals ? One leading Whig , oh seeing the procession which was headed by a placard , containing in large letters the alarming and eminous words " death to tha constitution , ' considered he could add to its brilliancy , and to accomplish this , he purchased a pint of turpentine , in which to steep the torches . Aye , aye ; we cannot but rembember such things were . —CorrespimdmL

      Contemplated Reception of Mr . Fbabgus O'CoNHOB . —A motion was brought forward in the Council to the effect " That the Council use ererj exertion to give Mr . 0 Connor a hearty and respectful reception , when he visits Carlisle ; but owing to the depressed state of the funds , and William Blake having to be defended , they cannot enter into arrangement for an expensive dsmonstration , which may involve the association in a debt , which they will be unable to liquidate , owing to the great poverty of a majority of it * members . ; Every one present seemed to participate in the deBire that every respect should bo paid to Mr . O'Connor , for his great publio services .

      BLACKWOOC—Revival of Chastism . —The good cause is still alive at Blackwood . We have , it is true , been rerf apathetic of late , bat thanfr * to the Corn Law repealers , we are in a fair way of fhaking off our indifference , and once more resuming our old position in the Chartist ranks , with the advantage , too , of having added considerably to our stock of experience , without , I trust , having lost any of that enthusiasm which characterised our movements in days gone by . A meeting had been conveeed by the Corn Law repealers , to be holden at Penmaia Chapel , near Blackwood , on Saturday last , the 2 nd instant , to discasa the propriety of memorializing her Majesty upon the present distressed state of the country ; but upon its being whispered about that the Chartists were exDected to

      attend , the managers of the chapel , in their Christian liberality , would not permit the meeting to be held there ; but another chapel being soon procured , the business ef the meeting proceeded . Candour , however , demands that we should not attribute any of this illiberal feeling to Messrs . Jenkins and Ellis , the Rev . gentlemen who had been the means of getting up the meeting , and we feel sorry that gentlemen of such liberal opinions should content themselves with standing forward for any thing Bhort of the whole " rights of man . " The Rev . Mr . Ellis opened the proceedings with prayer . The Rev . gentleman then moved " That the Rsv . Mr . Jenkins , Fleur de Lis , do take the chair , " which having been seconded , was carried without oaposition . The Rev . Gentleman proceeded to state " the

      objects for which the meeting was called together , aad advocated , at some length , the plan for obtaining a repeal of the Corn Laws recommended by the conference lately held at Mancheiter ; he concluded by calling upon Mr . Ellis , Independent minister , Monythyalwn , to move the first resolution , whicb was to the following effect , — " That this meeting deeply feeling for the pres . nfc distressed state of the country , through the operation of the Corn Laws , deem ft of importance that a memorial be presented to the Queen , praying her not to prorogue Parliament until the question be fully discussed , and effectual measures adopted , for their abolition . " The resolution having been briefly seconded by Mr . R Davies , Blackwood , Mr . W . G . Davies rose to move the following amendment : — " That this

      meeting husably , yet firmly , address her Majesty , praying her to « t »^ ' «« hex prerogative by dissolving the Parliament mow sitting ; and that this meeting further implore her Majesty in her kindly feelings towards an oppressed , afflicted , sad immoderately-taxed people , koat she will immediately dismiss . her present Ministry , and call men bo her council * who will pro * pose to the new Parliament such measures as shall secure to the people a fall and fair representation in the legislature . The mnea of the amendment -was f opiaion that toe corn monopoly was a gnat injustice , but it was not the greatest injustice . There was another injustice as great , nay , greater , and more monstrous

      than that ; he meant that monopoly which gave to a section of toe community the power of disposing of the means , and even the lives of the majority . Surely , the men without votes had no hand in producing the piesent frightful state of society . The privileged classes had had it all to themselves . Now that they had proved . their incompetency to govern , let others be called in to assist He then proceeded to shew what class law-making bad done for them ; how it bad expended thousands of millions of the people ' * money in crusades against humanity ' s rights . He concluded with Feargus O'Connor ' s motto , " Universal Suffrage and bo Surrender . " Mr . W . Miles , of Merthyr , seconded

      Untitled Article

      the amendment in Welsh , and brought forward some statistical facts connected with the price of corn before and since the pairing of the com tax . He then referred to the factory ;« yet « m , and tbe application of steam power to manufactures , showing , that machinery had OBt-marched law making . Sir Arthur O'Davies , Woodfield , supported the amendment He was for fijHyftftng tbe people , and giving them opportunities of obtaiiing ' fcH aorta ef kn 6 wledge , but , above all , he was for teaching them a knowledge of their rights . He was for giving-the people power to do away with » U bad laws ; but he was for wasting no more time with

      patching and propping up . He concluded by « alling upon the meeting to press the amendment The amendment was put to the meeting , when the Chairman , after having put tbe resolution , declared the amendment to be carried . Sir A . O'Davies then raoved , That the Chairman be requested to draw up and sign an address to h « i Majesty , embodying the sentiments contained in the amendment , and that tbe address be forwarded to Lord Brougham for presentation . Mr . E . Rees , of Merthyr , then addressed the meeting briefly in Welsh , and concluded by seconding Mr . Davies ' s resolution . A vate of thanks having been carried to tbe Chairman , the meeting separated .

      MIDDLESBRO . —A delegate meeting will be held here on Sunday , the 10 th of October , when delegates are expected from Stockton , Darlington , Yarn , Hartlepool , Stokealey , and other places , for the purpose of making permanent arrangements for the proper organization of the above mentioned places , and also to consider what would be the most efficient plan of agitating the above named districts in favour of the People ' s Charter . The meeting will take place at two o'clock in the afternoon' at the Working Men ' s Reading Room , 15 , Newcastle-row .

      SELBY .... 0 n Friday evening , Mr . Skevington , the East-Riding Missionary , visited this town according to announcement in the Star of last week , and delivered a splendid lecture in tbe New Victoria Room , which had been engaged for the occasion . The room was well filled with a very respectable and orderly company , which consisted chiefly of Mr . O'Connor's faithful " lads , " namely , the blistered hands and true hearts . There were several middle-class men present , and a fair portion of the fair sex , to whom Mr . S . gave some very good hints , which is to be hoped will not be lost sight of by them . To attempt to give even a mere outline of bis talented , able and instructive oration would be folly indeed suffice it to say , that the worthy gentleman gave universal satisfaction to all present , and at the close , a subscription was entered into towards defraying tbe expencea of the room , when a handsome sum was raised . Chartism is increasing in and around , this place . Every meeting night brines new members .

      ASHTON-TJNDER-LYNB . —James Bronterrk O'Brien , Esq , — On Saturday last this indefatigable , talented , and persecuted gentleman , visited Ashton by invitation , and delivered a pleasing and soul stirring lecture , to a crowded and attentive audience On Mr . O'Brien making his appearance he was greeted by long and loud continued cheering and clapping of hands . Mr . O'Brien spoke for three hours and was cheered throughout .
