The want- « f Mr . ' Shartnaa Crawford ' a Irish Landlord and Tnant BUI is vnfortanately bejcinniajr to

      manifest itself , io the shooting of seme heartless landlords , ~ who hare turned out their tenantry without any compensation fertile booses they bnilt , or the wastelands they reclaimed . ' This is what tbe Right Hoe ,- Richard Laior Sheil caHs " wild justiee . CorrgtptndnU . ' -.-THB IbISH UxiVEBSAl ScFnUGB ASOdATIO * held their usual meeting on Sunday last , at their sreaisbom , No . 14 , North Anne-street , Mr . William Woodward in the ehair . The Secretary read the minuter of the last meataj ;; he also read letters from Mr . T . Clarke , of Stockport , and from Mr . A . Bairstow ,-of Droyisden , Manchester , both letters testifying the / food disposition the people ofEnglaad have toward * tkeir suffering brethren in Ireland , and mviiur » melancholy account of the oondition of the

      working classes , and proving that nothing - short of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter can remedy this present wretched condition . —Mr . CHiggiBS rese and read a letter requesting him to propose as members of the Irish * Universal Suf * fragt Association , three m » t respectable free * holdeM-ef the county of Longford . Mr . James Hayat moved the admission of Mr . Walter Fortune and -Mr . William Winters . Mr . Wood roee and Baidf tiiat be had been lately to Scotland , and had there seen the great friend of the productive classes , Feargus O'Connor , and had learned front that gentleman that when he had made Mb tonr « f So » tlaad , be would visit "Ms dear natfre land . " Mr . O'Connor was « verywl » ere except at

      the Corn Exchange acknowledged to be the working man * friend , and it was because he advocated those principles irbieh alone can ameliorate their present and fatore condition that he was maligned and hated by the enemies of public liberty . Mr . Wood went into a lndd statement of facts , respecting the condnct of Mr . O'Connor and his diEinterestedBess , which called for th the plaudits of the meeting . Mr . Wood eoneladed a meet « ffecti- ? e speech by moving that Feargns O * CoaDor , Eeq ^ -be admitted . { Great cheering . ) Mr . Dy&t rose and said , it was with peculiar pleasure he tecoDded the motion of Mr . Wood . It was rather anomalous that Mr . O'Connor should be the leader of the mflllkms of Englishmen and Scotchmen , and as yet without a place in their

      associatioB . He was surprised how any Irishman could be so blinded by prejadiee as not to see with admiration their fellow countryman , so grounded in the confidence , and so high in the estimation Ofthft people of Great Britain . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . O'Connor was as yet impeeeablo &a a patriot ; he had neither accepted any thing-for himself , nor provided for Mb connexions , as others had dose . Ail he had got was abase , persecution , and a most severe and UDjust imprisonment . His energies , -however , seemed only strengthened , and he was now strenuously engaged in a work the most magnificent , as well as tne most yirtnoos , which it ever-fell to the lot of man to perform—the political elevation and moral enlightenment of the people .

      Other political leaders had sought , and were seeking , changes for tbe benefit of daB&es , bat Mr . O'Coonor straggled for the people . He soaght to effect a junction with the Irish Repealers . Woe to those , said Mr . Dyot , who abused ibe influence bestowed on them by a eredulous and confiding people , to preyent such junction . ( Hear . ) Bat Mr . O'Connor should learn that there were in Ireland men who were too acute to be deluded or deceived ; who appreciated the aid proffered by the Chartists of Great Britain , and were ready to make common cause with those with whom they had common interests . ( Hear , hear . ) Their association was rapidly ramiScacing through the country , and every meeting day new members were enrolled . The expositioaB made in that room were so lucid a 3 to carry eo&vietion to any ~ m&n not obstinately adverse to truth and good sense . He hoped the day was not far distant when they Etaould hare a press in Dublin to represent them ; then would this

      Association advance and astound and confound the enemies of the productive classes , whose interests alone ought to be agitated for by , at least , those whom they pay . He was proad to be instrumental in affording their fellow-countryman this mark of their Bympathy , respect , and confidence ; ' and be had no doubt they would admit Mr . O'Connor with acclamation and cheers . Mr . Wood again rose and said , he had another Irishman to propose tor admission ; an Irishman , though ia an hamble sphere , was distinguished in the country in which be renid&d for his inflixibk integrity , sterling patriots m , and great talent , Mr . Con Murray , the nailor , member of the Lanark Universal Suffrage Association . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . James Hayes claimed the honour as a brother chip , of seconding the admission of Mr . Murray . Mr . Michael M'Qnaid , of Liverpool , was admitted a member ; after which be waa called to the chair , and thanks giyen to the Chairman , when the meeting separated .

      PRESTON . —On Monday evening last , a ? ery numerous and respectable meeting was held in the Chartist Room , ATenham-street , to take into consideration the & ! arming state of the country , with a viewto some efficient remedy , and the adoption of a petition to Parliament , expressive of toe wanig and wishes of the meeting . Mr . R . Walton being unanimously called to the chair , opened the Hide ting by observing that be hoped * every one would be heard with patience , whatever might be his political opinions . —Mr . E . Swiudlehurst then rose , and in a very energetic speech pointed , out the nnjast power of class legislatiun , its consequences upon tbe n # h ; s of labour , and the inevitable destruction it caused to the happiness of the country , and moved the

      following re solution : — "That , in the opinion of this meeting , the alarming distress that prevails throngh onr onca happy land , and most of the evils that afflict society , is caassd by cla 33 legislation ; and being convinced thai taxation , without representation , is tyranny , we herebv pledge ourselves to united and unceasing exertions to obtain the People ' s Charter as a means of pTevfcuv . ng fuuire abuses in all our institutions , raising the productive classes to their proper position in society , aud by thus removing cause for discontent , enable a'i to live in peace and comfort . " Mr . J . MnrpLy seconded the resolution , and made some excellent remarks on the objects of faction and party vrho had endeavoured to direct the attention of the wording classes from-their agitation

      for the Charier , and conclnded by advising them to join no agitation , short of the one thing needful , the People ' s Charter . Mr . R . Sl&rsden was then introduced to the meeting , and for upwards of an hour , made a witheriug exposure c our present sjoiemof ( xorernment , which pacroiiised extrav » - gaoce , profligacy , and injustice ; showed up the monopoly of the land , church , army , navy , and the whole paraphernalia of the system . He then explained , in a masterly manner , the fir ? ; , oiat 3 of the Charter , and the necessity of their adoption ; and implored his hearers to make another determiaed , le ^ aJ , and constitutional struggle for their long-los : rights , wuhout"which their sitnations wca ] ti never be better . A perron in the Ldd v of the meeting then

      rose , and commenced & yery lengthy address upon the evils of the Corn Law 3 . He was listened to with great patience a considerable time , until he j commenced telling his hearers there was no j hope in carrying the Charter , and advised them to join the middle classes for a repeal of the Cora ; Laws . A scene of confusion then arose , when the : Chairman wished to know if the person who had last - addressed them had any amendment to propose j against the resolution ; for he conceived' that , having < now occupied a considerable portion of the time of tbe meeting , and it being now getting late , he i

      ought , in courtesy for those who had to attend the [ call of the fituory bell , early in the moroing , desist from his present proceeding on this occasion , except ht > had a decided object in view . Mr . ' j Oaleum then rose , and informed tbe meeting ' ¦ that if there wero any persona in the room nho en-: tert ^ ined the opinion thjt an agitation for the repeal of the Com LaWS W 4 g preferable to an sgita-i tion for the Charter , be would meet them in diacus- ' sioa , with the leave of the Council ,, on Sonday } evening next .

      £ 9 Q 0 i Death fsox Destitution . —On Friday , the 29 th alt . A man applied at the workhouse for relief , and after waiting three hours , he waa told that there were so many cases before him , he eoald not be heard that night ; be had better jp home and come again on Wednesday . He said if I get no relief before Wednesday , I shall want nose ; atid the man died on Sunday evening , and was buried on Wednesday . Ought not some inqairy to be made into thesepro ceeding 8 ?

      Leeds Wiitteb Fair . —This fair commenced o Monday morning . The show of horses was as usual miserable , there not being a decent nsg of any sort to be seen . The . beast market was almost as bad . A man , an adept at knavery , contrived , on Monday forenoon , to eeu two beasts , which did not belong to him , for £ 32 , and having got the money he bolted . The unlucky purchaser , on attempting to drive away his bargain , was stopped by the real owner ; the seller has not been since heard of . The statutes , on Tuesday , were well attended by both male and female serrantS j and we Delieve many 8 aeeee

      servants being equal to what it has been for some time . In the pleasure fair there was amusement , in abundance . The chief attraction , however , was Wombwell ' s collection of wild beasts ; bnt besides W omb well ' s there were two or three smaller collections . There were great crowds to look at them outside ; but we have not heard that they had any of them any extra success . As usual , the pickpockets were in attendance , and sundry handkerchiefs and other articles changed pockets . We have not heard of any very extensive transactions in this line , the police being on the alert , b y whom several practitioners were seized and locked up .

      KElGHIiEY . —On Saturday last , the houses of Mr . Wm . Rhodos , and Mr . David Weatherhead , were entered by three officials , who , in the name of the pious Rector , William Busfield , took from the former a good clock , and from the latter a mahogany table and desk , for refusing to pay their Easter dues . This barefaced act , so opposed to the spirit of Christianity , committed in the nineteenth century , by a man lateJy thrust upon the inhabitants without either ; heir knowledge or consent , is producing a great deal of serration . The goods are to be sold in the Market-place to-morrow , and a public meeting is to be held to-day ( Wednesday ) to devise means for putting an end to his proceedings . Bills have also been posted , calling the attention of the inhabitants to tha subject , and there is no doubt that this relio of the dark ages will find some difficulty in establishing his inquisition iu Keighley .

Lovett , Collins , and Hetheriastou are entitled to the best thanks cf the people for their past valuable services in the cause of democracy , and although we admire thoir proposed plan , we consider it at present impracticable .

      We therefore hope they will now , forgetting all that is past of an unpleasaut nature , cordially unite with the National Charter Association in preparing for the great campaign c ! 1342 , and thereby deserve the lasting gratiiudo of the people ; and that thie meeting has fall confidence in Fear ^ us O'Connor , Esq ., and return him their sincere thanks , and hope when he is in the West of En :: had hs will vitic .

      OLDHAM .-More Chartist Pekseclt / on . — Nothing will surprise the public more than to know that after our best men in the movement have been imprisoned for advocating the cause of truth , righteousness , and justice , to the number of four or &ve hundred , that the insatiable appetite of iho bloodhounds should still thirst for moro Chartist blood . But , however they may be surprised , it is a fact , that one of those loving Christian ParBons ( iu name only ) of whom we have so many in this country , as to institute a charge of being president of a meeting of an unlicensed room , against a poor but honest working man but a sincere chartist , named James Dawson , when James Leach , of Manohes ter

      , delivered a lecture in July last , at Lees , near Oldnam , and a charge of one penny made to defray cxpances . For the above offence , if oflfeneo it may be called , the above named individual , is now separated from his family , and suffering impri ° oiiment iu Salford jail .

It Hear this , ye poor exiled Ui-nsexT Irish 1 tradesmen ! Here is encoorairement held ? out to- you , to return' to your

      native country . The busy hnmor the Ineh shnttle shall now cheer the heart of the Irish widow , orphan , and matron . Something has at length been done for the working classes . Let it never be forgotten , that the great Liberator , now Lord Mayor of the City of Dublin , has subscribed twenty shillings for the encouragement of Irish manufacture . As the robe usually wore by the Lord Mayor was made of scarlet cloth , and as there was none to be had of Irish manufacture , the Lord Mayor a * a further proof of his determination to support the Irish manufacturers , gave an order to his friend , Tom Arkins , the cast-clothsman , to get him a robe of Irish scarlet velvet , which robe after all was but second-hand , as it was worn before . the Lord Mayor saw it ; but the best of aU is , that the Lord Mayor

      exhibited himself on the balcony in front of his house , in Merrion-square , to his deluded followers , arrayed in all the gaudy and fantastic habiliments of office , while - at ' . the ^ aame time he accused mild , eeneiole , and ' onasanminK Mr . Crawford of being swallowed up by overweaning yanity . ThiErridJeu .-Ioub charge afforded infinite amusement to the sensible portion of the citizens of Dublin , notwithstanding whfch he has a very numerous train of followers , who place the utmost confidence'in him , and who labour under the' delusive hope that he will ultimately achieve some great good , for them . Twelve years experience has not opened their eyes to his political delinquencies— : ' - " For well th' impostor knows all lures and aiis That Lucifer e ' re taught to 'tangle haarte . "

      Thk Irish Ukivsbsal Suffsaob . Association met on Sunday lart , at their great room , No . 14 , North Ann-street , Mr . William O'Toole in the qhair . The minutes of tiie last meeting were read and confirmed ; after which the Secretary read a letter from Mr . ¦ & Mooney , of Gowran , County Kilkenny , requesting-Star-light in that quarter . Mr . O'HigpiuB read im admirable- letter from the Rev . Mr * Ryan , which was received with every mark of respect and approbation . Mr . Atkinson was called upon by the meeting to deliver a Jhort lecture : on the principles of the Irish tlniversal Suffrage Association , which he did in a . masterly style , and during the delivery of which he was much cheered . Mr . Rafter rose to more the admission of

      Mr . Joseph Hammond , who , he said , was on old and tried friend in the cause of the people . Mr . Hammond briefly thanked the meeting for the honfor « f being admitted a member . Mr . Dyot rose and « ald'he wa « glad to have the opportunity of correcting an error into which Mr . Atkinson bad fallen . In the course of his admirable address , be said that the members did not agitato sufficiently for the cause . Now he ( Mr . Dyot ) thought it far better to urge the principles of the Charter by reason than by appealing to the . passions and prejudices of a people already too much exoited , and whose reason was prepossessed by aa artful and designing agitator , whose sole object was money , while his ( Mr . Dyot ' s ) object was to call back men to reason and

      experience . He was a worker in the cause of universal political redemption , and he was sure that if one man would endeavour to reform another , the work would go on bravely . He would conclude by proposing for admission one who would be a great auxiliary to them , Mr . M . G . Conway . ( Cheers . )—After which Mr . Conway rose and said , he thanked them for the high honour they had conferred upon him , and he begged to assure the meeting that since he had come to tho use of reason , he had entertained the opinions advocated by the Chartists of Great Britain and Ireland , and specially Bet forth in the People ' s Charter . He admired Mr . O'Connell perhaps more 'han any man in Ireland ; he had watched him during his struggle for religious liberty ; ho had seen him surrounded by the talent and eloquenoe of the country , and by the whole of the

      Catholic priesthood , whose united powers achieved one of the greatest moral victories with which the history of the world furnishes us . It is but justice to Mr . O'Connell to say , that he was the ohief mover in the great moral struggle , and is therefore entitled to the honours of the victory , and there ( said Mr . Conway ) his usefulness ended ; for , after Catholic Emancipation , we find him wriggling himself into an alliance with the Whigs for the purpose of getting places for his son ? , and sons-in-law , from that faction whom he has justly designated as " base , bloody and brutal , " and who , but for the support he gave them , would long since have had to resign even before they passed the Poor Law Amendment act that separates husband from wife , and the children from both . Long before he had seen the letters of Mr . Crawford he was

      opposed to Mr . O'Connell ' s scheme of Repeal , the agitation of whioh was mere delusion and intended as such . Had Mr . O'Connell been sincere in his agitation of that great ; measure , he could , when he had the people of England and Scotland with him , he could have extorted any measure- from the Finality faction , instead of which he multiplied in the House of Commons , by every means in his power , the enemies of that measure ; in 1837 he not only put the question of Repeal in abeyance , but called upon the Irish constituencies to demand no other pledge from the candidates than that of supporting her Majesty's Ministers , the sworn enemies of the Repeal of the Union . ( Great cheering . ) Here a man , who said his name was Breunan , and that he was a Repeal

      Warden and a schoolmaster , made a furious attack upon the Association , which he said was opposed to the views and interests of Mr . O'Connell . He then turned like a bear on Messrs . Conway and Dyot , who he said were traitors to O'Connell . Ho then said he was astonished at the conduct of Mr . O'Higgins , whose relations he knew to be honourable and patriotic gentlemen . He came there to call Mr . O'lliggins to account for the vote he gave at the municipal elections . Why did he not vote for Mr . O'Connell's " whole ticket , " for men whom he knew would vote with Mr . O'Connell in everything in the Town Council ? ( Hear , hear , from Mr . O'Higfiins . ) Mr . O'ConneU ' e Repeal Warden continued vociferating in this strain for a

      considerable time , to the great amusement of the whole meeting . He ultimately sat down roaring at the top of his voico " that he never was so laughed at before . " Mr . O'Higgins rose and gave Mr . O'Conneli's unfortunate Repeal warden the most awful castigation that ever man suffered , and so keenly did he feel it , that he nnd his party kept shifting towards the door , Mr . O'Higgins and several members imploring them not to go until they would hear all , but no entreaty could induce them to remain . The meeting was further addressed by Messrs . Clarke and Wood . Mr . Woodward was called to the chair , and thanks given to the Chairman , when the meeting separated , each as he went his way laughing at the folly and signal defeat of Mr . O'Connell ' s liepeal warden and friends . To the Chabttsts . —Recent circumstances have

      rendered it absolutely necessary that the Chartists of Great Britain shoald bo acquainted with the names of the persons who assaulted Mr . Lowery , the Chartist missionary , in Henry-street , Dublin , in August , 1839 . No . 1 . Thomas M . Ray , that is " Dear Ray , " who planned the . attack , and whose son got an appointment from the Whigs . 2 . J . J . Murphy , an attorney . 3 . R . Lawrenson , who boasted , of haviug torn Mr . Lowery's ooat . 4 . Thos . \ rkius , the cast clothesman , who led on the unfortunate " Billy Welters , " first . to ' get drunk , and then to attack the Chartists . 5 . C Cayne , formerly a b-ywker of hats in tho purlieus of St . Giles ' s . 6 .

      Distbess . —On Monday three wretched girls , were brought before Akcnuan Hooper , at the London Mansion House , charged with having broken windows for the purpose of being sent to Bridewell . A policeman stated that having , between one and two o ' olock in the morning , heard a smashing of glass , he went to ascertain the cause , and saw the three girls , who told him that they had committed the offence , and that they wished to be locked up out of thecold . He took them to thestation-hause , and thence , by order of the inspector , to the union in Cannonstreet , wkere Mr . Thwaitea , the relieving officer , immediately attended to the case , and offered them orders of admission to the house at Peckham , but they refused to go to the establishment , and witness

      conveyed them to the station-house . Mr . Thwaites said that , as was frequently the case , he was knocked up at an unreasonable hour , after the regular labours of the day , and he offered the orders to the girls , all of whom had been at Peckham before ; but they rejected tfte orders , and he had no alternative bat" to send them back to the station-house . Mr . Ho bier intimated to the Alderman that the rejection of the offer was by no meana to be wondered at * as it was no trifle to walk four or five miles between one and two o ' clock in the morning after the exhaustion of the day . "' Aid . Hooper—Indeed it is a hard sentence upon poor fatigued persons to send them at such an hour such a distance . I am sure that is not what ought to be called relief . Mr . Thwaites

      said that he had it not in his power to do anything more for those who were brought to him . The multitudes received at Pecknam were beyond all credibility . They had 240 persons in tbe house a couple of weeks ago , and a strong spirit of insubordination had exhibited itself of late there . The girls stated that they had broken the windows in order to be sent to prison , as a prison , bad as it was , was better than the Peckham house , of which they knew quite enough . All-that they could expect at Peckham house was to be turned out in the morning with a little bread . They had been all round the London unions , and the ? must say that prison was greatly preferable , whatever people mi , ? ht state . Booker , the overseer of Bishopsgate parish , stated that the

      guardians of the East London Union were to hold a meeting next day on the subject of purchasing premises in town for the reception of destitute persons like tbe defendants . All the guardians of the unions in the city would , he believed , attend on so important an occasion . The East London Union guardians had seen one of the Assistant Poor Law Commissioners on the subjtct , and it was believed that premises , would be purchased . The conduct of the younger prisoners in the workhouse was so bad that the old people , who were entitled to some little com * fort , had the most miserable lives in that asylum . Girls like those at the bar wore in the habit of pelt * ing each Other with bread and pudding , and the

      house was really a hell upon earth . Alderman Hooper , perceiving that one of the girls was ill , pent her to Bartholomew ' s Hospital , and ordered that the other two should pay the Bum of 203 . each for the mischief they hau done , or suffer imprisonment for a month in Bridewell . One of the Girls . —Thank you , Sir , for sending us to Bridewell ; auy place is to be preferred to Peckham , and no mistake . We shall never go there again , at any rate . Alderman Hooper . —I do not attribute any blame to the w . heving overseer , for he cannot remedy the evil : bnt it la quite a mockery of relief to give poor destitute creatures orders to go to Peckham between one and ' ¦ Tft * * k ° "norning , I hope buch a mode of relief will be as quickl y as possible substituted by one more according with ordinary humanity .
