Fowle * * u fchea called opoa , who read the oorropoDdenoe between the muoni And Means . Griaasll and Peto , irhich seemed to decide the ixuffliag , evasive , ¦ dc inconsistent character of Allen . The Chairman then called upon the delegates from the rarioBt trades to state their opinions npoa what had been laid before them .

      The Delegate from the Operative Carpenters in General Union felt himself proud in haying the honour to lay before the masons the following address agreed to ft a general meeting of the body .

      TO THE OPERATIVE MASONS I >* THE UXIOH . T . ' e , the carpenter * and joiners in general nuion , at a special meeting held this 9 th day of November , haTing duly considered ail circumstances connected with your strike , or rather torn-oat in London , are unanimously of pinion that the conduct of Allen was of a usurping , overbearing , and tyrannical nature , and that the men who Jeft the employment of Messrs . Grissell and Peto en that account are deterring our sympathy and support ; ire , therefore , numbly present you with the « om of £ 10 , regretting that th « Bum is so small ; but fcol knowing how soob a similar attack may be made on our own camp , we are forced therefore to act with all dae caution , and a limited liberality , or tke amount ¦ would be larger . We hope that it will be sufficient to

      eonvmca you that we coincide with the decisive steps you have taken , and will at all times do our best to assist in opposing the tyranny and oppression of such Ben as Allen ; and hi ore particularly . when the men act as you haTe done—peaceably and judiciously ; and we hare no doubt that with the co-operation of your bre thren , yon win ever stand formidable against your enem ' . es , not only against tyrannical employers , but against those dastardly and unprincipled masons , as ihey term themselves , that have attempted to do your Work . Bat thanks to God , their , base attempts have been { rostrated , and ever will be ^ so long as you stand firm to yourselves—no division in your camp , "We remain , yours , Thb Operative Carpenters aud Joiners

      in Union in the City of BrisWL Signed in behalf of . the meeting , William Moses . Chairman Tmos . Bowbet . Secretary . After thanks had been given to the operative carpenters and joiners in union for their kind address , delegates from the follewing trades , gave in their reports , namely , cordwainerj , broshmakers , corkcufcters , local masons , coopers , sawyers . Ninths , tinplate Workers ; the delegates from the smiths giving a voluntary subscription from that body * f £ 2 . _ Mr . LangVord , delegate from the boot and shoemakers , made a very excellent appeal ia behalf of the rights of the working men . It -was then proposed by Mr . Clifton , seconded by Mr . CX pp .

      " TL * t we are of opinion that after the full and fair statcabnta with respect te the masons at present on strike , that they acted as men , and are deserving the esteem and respect of the operatives of Bristol ; and on the oilier haad the ocnduct of Mr . AUem is deserving the reprobation of every honest man . " Carried unanimously . Mr . Simeo 5 proposed , and Mr . Battle seconded , " That this meeting condemns the conduct of those individuals wae bave been so tramarly and unprincipled in supplanting those xn . \ Bons who have left the smplvj of Messrs . Qrissell and Peto , in consequence of the overbearing and tyrannical conduct of George Allen , their foreman at the N 9 Houses of Parliament ; and we further trust , those serfs "will in dne time meet with that contempt and reproach which their unmanly eonanct so wall deserve * . " C&rried unanimously .

      Aficx several verj « evere aaimadversiuns on the presi by v j-ioas speakers , it -eras then proposed by the Delegate from the operative carpenters and joiners , and duly i « cocded by Mr . Jones , " That with regard to the present strike of the masons in London , the conduct of a certain portion of the pre » s in that city gives us no very gr « , t surprise , as xe berieve that the majority of the press in this eouEtry is bound to support the interests of the capitalists before that of the working man , but from henceforth we are determined to withdraw oar support from those papsti vrhich do not come boldly out for the rights and interest of the working classes , and we beg distinctly to be understood , that "we consider the Dispiich , the London Times , &nd Ifornirtg A dveriixr to have taken the part of Messrs . Griswll anJ Psto against ths masons . "

      A vote of thanks were then proposed to Messrs . Eili tsd Hobson for having opened the columns of the Hcnt ' TTi Siir to tLe advocacy of the rights of the worxiue men ; to the Chairman for frs conduct in the chair on thu occasion , and the mettiBf was adjourned intii ihfci night week , at eight o ' clock .

      THE QUEEN V . WHITE AND O ' CONNOB . The Attorney-General moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against George White , of Bromagrove , for writing a false and scandalous libel , reflecting upon the character of the Rev . C . A . Anstey , one of the Master * of Rugby School , and against F . O'Connor , the proprietor of the Northern Star , for publishing the libel in that paper . The libel was contained in a letter addressed to the Editor by George White , one of the defendants , and dated Bromsgrove , 30 th October , and which imputed to the gentleman on whose behalf the application was made , cenduot of

      a nature so atrocious , and so utterly base , that if it were true it could not be characterised in language too strong . The writer of the letter , after stating that as a proof that in this country there was one law for the rich and another for the poor , said he would relate several instances of abomiaations oommitted by the parsons in the south of England , which clearly proved the rascality of the richer classes . The letter then went on to state that a certain poor hawker had , some time since , in consequence of his poverty , been obliged to send his wife and child home t « her mother , at Rugby , and that she subsequently went into the workhouse , where she , unfortunately , attracted the attention of a certain Rev . Gentleman , who was

      a married uan , and one of the head masters of Rugby School ; that the hawker , having subsequently become enabled to maintain his wife , applied to have her restored to him , but that the Rev . Gentleman , having determined to make her the victim of his improper desires , prevented her joining her husband ; that the hawker then appplied to the Guardians to discharge his wile and her child , and that on her discharge she was inveigled by the parson into his house ; _ that on the hawker threatening him with an action if he detained bis wife , the parson discharged her from his own house and took another for her close to his own ; and that he also induced the parish officers to make a claim against the hawker for £ 12 18 s . lid .

      for the maintonauoe of his wife , and that subsequently she had had a child by his Reverence ; that after this the parson had offered the hawker money to live with his wife again , which he had refustd to do , and that the parson had taken her before a magistrate to make her swear the child was her hu&band's , but that the magistrate had refused to administer the oath to her ; that in order to prevent the husband from taking proceedings , the parson had procured his imprisonment in Warwick gaol on one occasion for two months , oa another for twelve months ; that the hawker would enter into an action against the parson , but he had no means ; and the letter concluded by asking whether Mr . O'Connor would take up this case , which

      was another instance of the manner in which the laws were worked by the rich to make the poor subservient to the gratification of their beastly appetiteB . Now his affidavits went to show that the Reverend C . A . Anstey was the person alluded to in the libei ; and the affidavit of the Reverend Gentleman and his wife went to show that some years since they had taken a person named Ann Fearon , who had been married to an Irish hawker , and who had left her husband to live with her mother , in consequence of his inability to support her , into their service as an occasional servant ; that she afterwards went to reside

      with her mother , and that Mrs . Aastey having heard tbat her husband had returned , and was ill using her , to induce her to live with him , had gone , accompanied by Mr . Anstey , to the cottage of Ann Fearon ' b mother , and had found Fearon ill using her ; that Mr . Anstey had remonstrated with her , and recommended her to come and live quietly at Rugby , which Fearon said he could not do , as he owed the parish officers money ; that thereupon Mr . Anstey had offered to speak to the parish officers on the subject , to induce them to take the money by instalments , which he had done , and had written to Fearon on the Eubjsct .

      Mr . Justice Wightman—H « denies all the imputations ! The Attorney-Genebal—He does , my Lord . — The Lsarned Attorney-General then proceeded to contend that it was a duty Mr . Anstey owed himself , the school , and his country to come forward and clear himself of thoBe imputations , which had been cast upon him merely for a political purpose . Rule granted . —Sun , Wednesday .

      HUDDERSFlEliD . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . West , the West-riding lecturer , gave a lecture in the association room , Upperhead-row , to an over-Sowing audience . He gave great and universal satisfaction . His principle text was the decreeing of unrighteous decrees against the poor . He handled the subject with a masterly hand , and made very great impressions , not very favourable to the powers that be . At the conclusion , an elderly gentleman , rose , who , by the bye , is a local preacher , and exclaimed that" if ever he heard a true GoBpel sermon preached in the whole course of his life , he had heard one that night . " Indeed the lecturer proved himself well versed in Scripture .

      The League Again . —On Monday last , our Philosophical Hall was crowded to excess , to hear the great gun of the anti-Corn Law League ; indeed the very name of Col . Thompson was sufficient of itself to attract great numbers , he being well known as a pubic character . He had proved himself too honest for the factions , both Whig and Tory ; and it is very much to be regretted that such a man as the Colonel should be found in company with a set of political Whig quacks , supporting and puffing their political nostrums ; but it" was no go ; indeed , the Colonel himself was obliged to acknowledge that the cause of all our national grievances , was the usurping of onr political rights by the most villanoua of all monopolies , the monopoly of legislation , and that all good and virtuous men would go for the removal

      of the cause . The Colonel found out it was no easy matter to answer the variety of plain and simple questions put to him by plain and Simple & . en , whom he found -were too mueh awake to the sophistry and finesse of those who now claim the superior learning , and the Colonel , in this respect , tried hiB best in various ways , but found it would not do ; a plain simple question without a positive answer , caused him to leel his situation , and he seemed to yield under it . A question wa 3 asked , would they sign the National Petition , if the ChartistB would sign the anti-Corn Law ! No , was the reply . The meeting conolnded by giving a vote of thanks , and three cheers to the Colonel , slating that they were glad U see hint at Huddersfield , believing that he had come with good intentions .

      BULL . —Mr . Stallwood lectured on the distress of the country and the remedy for the same , on Monday eveniag . A large concoHrae of people assembled in the large Freemason ' s Lodge , My tonga te . Mr . Webster waa called to the chair . Mr . Stallwood was greeted with the most hearty acclama tions . He addressed the audience at considerable length , contrasting wealth and waat—investigated in a bold , clear , and lucid manner , oar" wellbalanced" constitution—and pointing to the Charter as a remedy , he concluded his lecture amid the loudly exuresssed approbation of all present .

      BEVSRL&Y . —Mr . Stallwood addressed a public meeting at tho Pack Horse Inn , Market-place , at seven o ' clock on Tuesday evening . The large room of the above inn was densely crowded : Mr John White wa ^ called to tho chair . It was agreed that an address be presented to her Majesty congratulatio n her on her safe delivery , pra-jing the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , the liberation of political victims , and the adoption of the Charter .

      OtPHAM . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . Henry Smethurst gave a most onergetio and soul-stirring lecture in the Chartist Room , Greaves-Btreet , in which he depicted the extravagances of the Royal household ; contrasting it with the degradation , misery , and starvation of tha laboaring classes ; all of which evils the lecturer attributed to class legislation , and the only permanent remedy that could be applied for the removal of these evils was the People ' s Charter being made the basis of the Constitution . To acquire this great object , he urged his hearers , both male and female , to join the National Charter Association , to lay aside all religious prejudices and examino for themselves , and they would find that religion and politics must go hand in hand . This was the doctrine of the Word of God . The lecture was listened to with great attention , and the crowded audience went away highly delighted .

      MANCHESTER . —Ob Sunday evening , the Chartists who formerly worshipped at Tib-street on Sunday evenings , « pened their New Room , which was attended very numerously , and Mr . Daffy delivered an excellent leotne . On the same evening Mr . Griffin lectured on the Corn Laws , the policy of the league , and the conduct of masters in making reductions , and gave great satisfaction . Mr . Cartledge , after speaking very highly of the leoturer . moved the following resolution , which was carried unanimously : — "That we , the Chartists of Brownstreet , having attended the meetings of Manchester and neighbourhood , where the reporter of the Star has been present , and having afterwards read the reports in the Star , declare , so far as they have been

      inserted , they have been correct ; and we throw back the attempt of those who are endeavouring to injure the Star , and impuga the veracity of the reporter . " ASHTON . —Discussion between thk Chae-TISTS AMD THE CORN LaW REPEALERS . —Thfl Com - mittee of the Charter Association of this town , and the Committee of the Anti-Corn Law Association , have had it in contemplation , for the last six weeks , to make arrangements for a discussion between the Chartists and Corn Law repealers of Manchester , on the subject of the Corn Laws . Last week the terms were agreed upon , and the town placarded , announcing two night's disoussjon , on Monday and Tuesday evenings . ' The Chartists Bent an invitation to Mr . Bell , of Salford , and Mr . Griffin , to take the

      Chartist view of the question . The other party invited Messrs . Watkins , Culverwell , Rawson , and Birtch , as their champions . ' On Monday evening , agreeably to the notice , the hard hands , unshorn chins , and fustains , assembled in large numbers in the Charlestown meeting-room . Mr . Smith was chairman for the Corn Law party , and Mr . Woodroff for the Chartists , and Mr . Spencer umpire . Each Chairman hoped they would give every speaker a fair and impartial hearing , and that neither approbation nor disapprobation would be shown . After the reading of the placard , and stating the terms , Mr . Culverwell was called upon to open the question , for which he was allowed twenty minutes . The speaker then went through a regular culled ,

      prepared , cut , and dried speech , containing the old absurdities , which have been exploded and refuted scores of times . Mr . Bell occupied twenty minutes in reply , and upset every position of his opponent . Mr . Rawson , another of the Anti-Corn Law party , went exactly in the same strain as his colleague . Mr . Griffio gave way to Mr . Littler , and reserved himself till the second evening . Mr . L . supported the arguments brought forward by Bell manfully . Our readers will form some estimation how they went on when we inform them that Bell and Littler followed them up , quoting their own authority , and beat them upon their own ground ,

      until they were driven so close into a corner as to deny that M'Culloch , Porter , and M'Queen were any authority , or any standard , to go by . Both Culverwell and Rawson , finding they were dead beat , would not acknowledge either of thoBe three statistical writers , although they are quoted by all the lecturers and speakers upon the subject . The subject was well sifttd , and has done much good to the movement for the Charter . A vote of thanks to the chairmen was moved by Mr . Bell , and seconded by one of the other party , and the meeting dispersed without any resolution , by giving three cheers for Feargus O'Connor .

      Second Night ' s Discussion . —The discussion was resumed on Tuesday evening , before the same Chairman and umpire aa on the previous evening . The disoussion was carried on in excellent temper , and at the close a resolution , proposed and seconded by two working men , ia favour of the People ' s Charter being the first step to ba taken for the redress of all grievances , was unanimously carried . BT 7 RTON-UPON-TBENT .-0 n Sunday last , the Chartists of Burton paid a visit to the poor man ' s church , in Redwood Forest , to hear a sermon from the Rev . Humphry Price . The text was taken

      from the thirteenth chapter of Proverbs , aud the twenty-third Terse ; the words are—** Mueh food is in the tillage of the poor , but there is tbat is des troyed for want of judgment . " The sermon gave general satisfaction . All declared that they never heard such a sermon before . The weather was very unfavourable ; but the Burton Chartists are determined to continue their visits to the poor man's church , despite wind or weather ; and they hope that every poor man in Burton will join them ia supporting the only poor man ' s church , and fill the empty seats which are deserted by their enemies .

      STOCKPORT . —On Friday evening last , Mr . Birtcb , of Manchester , one of the anti-Cora Law lecturers , came to this town to leoturs to the Youths ' anti-Corn Law Association . Although it is called a Youth ' s Association , the greater number are men , some forty , others fifty , and even as high as sixty years of age ! The Chartists mustered and elected their own Chairman by an overflowing majority , and rejected the self-elected Mr . Coppock . Town Clerk . This was rather too galling to be stood quietly ; and to obviate it , he called for the police to take Carter into custody . Birtch proceeded with his written lecture amid the laughter of the assembly ; and at the conclusion , Coppock gave him a vote of thanks himself ; not daring to put it to the meeting . In the meantime , Carter was confined in an anti-room , guarded by two policemen , until he shivered with cold ; and in order to make up for the insult , when they released him , Coppock offered him a shilling .

      Lecture . —Mr . Clarke lectured here on Sunday evening la ? t . Muoh enthusiasm was exhibited . Several new membere were enrolled . HALIFAX .-Defeat of the " Plague . —The "Plague" men of Halifax have had Col . Thompson down for the purpose of " putting salt on the people ' s tail ; " but it was " no go . " Mr . West , the West Riding lecturer , tackled the gallant Colonel , and so pestered him with facts and figures that his " salt'' became quite ineffective . After a smart discussion , the following resolution waa proposed by Mr . James Rawson , and seconded by Mr . John Crossland , " That this meeting is of opinion that a Repeal of the Corn Laws , accompanied by other just and necessary measures is unattainable but by and

      through a Radical Reform in the House of Commons , and this meeting p ledges itself not to assist in tho agitation of any political quest ion , save that of the enfranchisement of the whole people , aud will never cease their efforts in the cause of right until the People's Charter shall become the law of the land . " The Chairman inquired if there was any amendment , but none appearing , he put the motion , when the forest of hands that appeared was incalculable ; and , in a meeting of between two and three thousand , six hands were held up against it ! The Chairman declared it carried , amidst the most enthusiastic cheering . Cheers were then given for the Charter , for O'Connor and the forthcoming demonstration , for West , for FroBt , Williams , and Jones , and tho meeting separated .

      Leeds West Ward . —Mr . T . B . Smith attended a meeting at the Queen ' s Arms , on Wednesday night , and delivered a leoture on U niversal Suffrage and the Ballot .

      FEARGUS O'CONNOR AT BOLTON . On Wednesday , Mr . O'Connor visited this town , and had , according to the opinion of all who had the pleasure of seeing and judging , one of the most numerous , orderly , and enthusiastic meetings ever held iaside any building in the town . Towards evening groups were seen coming from all the surrounding districts ; many , as far as ten or twelve miles . At five © 'dock they began to flock intothe Hall , until about six hundred had taken their ueato for tea . Whilst preparations were being made . % quadrille band , which had been engaged for

      the occasion , enlivened the assembly by playing some lively airs . The , Bpaciou * Hall , built by the Teetotallers , was illuminated by four large chandeliers . The building is calculated to hold about 3 , 000 people . About half-past five o ' clock , the time for commencing , Mr . O'Connor , accompanied by the good and true , entered the room- He was met and greeted in such a manner as to baffle description . In a short time he ascended the platform , and was again cheered . The company then partook to satisfaction of" the cup which cheers but not inebriates . " This portion of the business being

      over , Mr . O'Connor advanced to the front of the platform and announced his intention to sit till eight o ' clock to enrol members , and particularly invited the ladies . Many names were enrolled , the majority of whom were Mr . O'Connor ' s own ceuntrymeu and country women—the number who took cards of membership amounts to one hundred . Mr . Wbenwick was then called to the chair , and the doors having been thrown open to the publio , the spacious room was soon crowded to excess , hundreds being unable to obtain admission . Mr . Dixon moved the first resolution , as follows : — " That we welcome with unfeigned delight that Noble Patriot , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., once more amongst us , after his imprisonment in the dungeon f a tyrannical Government . "

      The resolution was seconded by Mr . Htslop , Draper , from Wigan , in a very humourous and sarcastic speech , which called forth the cheers of the audience . The resolutien was carried amidst the most tremendous cheering , during which Mr . O'Connor rose , bat it was some time before be could obtain silence to proceed . He spoke for two hours , ia his usual eloquent and argumentative manner , and was listened to with marked attention . A large number of the middle class were present , who came forward and confessed that they had been misled , and that he had completely dispelled their prejudices . Mr . Vickbbs moved the next resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Gallaisby , and carried unanimously . It was as follows : —

      " That this meeting places the most unbounded confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., as an agitator , and will continue the same so long as he preserves bis present career of agitation for the rights of labour and of man . " Mr . O'Connor again briefly addressed the assembly in acknowledgment , and made a powerful appeal in favour of Dr . M'Douall . Thanks were then proposed to the Chairman , to Mr . Barrow , and to the ladies , for their efficient services , which were carried with enthusiastic cheering .

      Cheers were given for the Charter , and for Frost , Wiliams , and Jones ; and before the meeting separated Mr . O'Connor enrolled more names in the association , and the petition sheets were numerously signed . The cause bas rapidly progressed in Bolton within the last few weeks .

SiR , —* he Enumeration Committee will feel greatly obliged by your insertion of the following in your paper of Saturday next , in order to correct some inaccuracies which appeared in Mr . Rattray ' s letter of Saturday last , with respect to the date ' s of certain communications which passed between the Committee and the local authorities . Mr .

Luccock till the 22 nd .

      Mr . Rattray also states that a deputation waited npon the Mayor subsequent to waiting upon Mr .

Luccock having waited upon the Committee on Tuesday evening last , and in the kindest and most gentlemanly manner pointed out the inaccuracies in Mr . Rattray ' s letter , they felt it to be their duty , in justice to Mr . Luccock , to give the above explanations ; as they have no desire to mislead the publio in any respect , or to come into collision with any of the local authorities ; their sole object throughout , and the whole of their inquiry has been , and ia , . to benefit their distressed and suffering fellow operatives ; and , whenever

      they en in any of their statements , they are willing at all times , on these errors being pointed out , to retract them . Mr . Luccock also entered into a friendly conversation with the Committee , as to the best means of affording immediate relief to tke suffering poor ; and , after each had explained their view of the subject , the following resolution was passed unanimously : — "That John Speed and Wm . Cliff be appointed a deputation to deliver up the Enumeration Book immediately to Mr . Barr , on a condition agreed to by Mr . Luccock , that all cases which may be objected to by the Overseers , shall be submitted to the Enumeration Committee previously to the Overseers making their report to the Magistrates . "

      The Books are now in the hands of the authorities , and the Committee hope and trust that such use will be made of them as to benefit the distressed poor .

Huddehsfield Cloth Market , Nov . 23 . —As a market day this was one of the worst that has occurred for many weeks ; and , were it not that some good and tolerably extensive sales have been made to order , the condition of the manufacturers would be deplorable . Happily , however , there is an inquiry for the American market for light fancies of various descriptions : but the general demand is very limited . Prices are very low , but firm ; and a hope still exist * that the long depression will shortly terminate fro « the mere force of circumstances .
