      2 SIANCHESTBK . —Cakpjssiebs' Hai . l . —A disenssion npon the propriety of amalgamating the land question with the agitation for the Charter took place in the large anteroom of the above Hall , on Sunday afternoon last . The attendance was numerous and respectable , and the whole business was conducted with the greatest harmony . Several persons having expressed their opinions , the subject was adjourned for further discussion on Sunday next , the chair to be taken at half-past two . o ' clock in the afternoon . Os ibs srxiajiB of the same day , the large Hall was densely crowded in every part by a highlyrespectable audience . The proceedings commenced by -out numerous and efficient choir singing a Chartist Bymn ; after which , Mr . 0 Hissins * *> letters to

      Lord EGoi were read from the Star . Daring the reading the most breathless attention pervaded the Tast assembly , only interrupted by expressioas of the deepest sympathy for a people subjected to tbe unmerited persecution and heartless cruelty so vividly pourtrayed by Mr . O'Higgins . The Chairman then introduced Mi . James Leach , who was received with every possible mark of respect . Mr . Leach commenced by thanking bis audience Jot the kind reception he always met when addressing his Manchester friends , and proceeded , in s style peculiarly his own , to expose the consummate hypocrisy of the men who , although they call themselves anti-monopolists ,

      and make great pretensions to philanthropy , are the greatest enemies against which the working classed hasa to contend . He gave a description of the many stratagems made use cf to effect redactions in the price of labour ; and shewed , by arguments tbe most clear and conducing , that nothing short of tbe Charter would enable the toiling millions to £ &ec tnally resist farther encroachments upon their only property . He concluded with a powerful appeal to his hearers to enrol themselves as members of the National Charter Association , and thereby prove their love for chose sacred principles of which he was the humble advocate . Mr . Leach sat down amidst

      long-contianed plaudits . We feel prond in having to state thaf the appeal made by Mr . Leach was not made in Tain , for at the close of the lecture twentysis persons joined the Association . OVSK DABWES . —Camp Meetikg at Bull Hni—On Sunday last , the Chartists of Biackburn and Bolton held a camp meeting at this place ; and , notwithstanding the day was very unfavourable , the meeting was a bumper . It had been previously arranged that . the Bolton friends should hold a meeting at the village of Turton , on their way , at eleven o ' clock in the forenoon ; after which they would move in a body forward to Bull HUL But owing totheTery heavy xain , it was rfonnd impossible ¦ to hold the meeting . The speakers were therefore

      compelled to pnfc up at the Globe Inn until it was time to proceed on their journey to meet the Blackburn friends . About one o ' clock , Sol began to show his face , giviBg promise of a fine afternoon . The people , therefore , began to prepare for the road , all their proceedings being narrowly watched by police in plain clothes . All things being ready , and hundreds of people waiting to see them start , Mr . Dixon jumped into a vehicle , and addressed the assembly for about half an hour , and was listened to with the greatest attention , with the exception of a little interruption from a drniken farmer , who resides at Tnrton Tower , and who had been boasting that he wasihe chief constable of Turton . OnB of the inspectors of the police told him that if he did not

      behave himself , he would be under the necessity of having him loeked up . This had the effect of making the man , who an hour before was swaggering that he wa 3 the master of all the police , slink away , stripped of all his pretended authority . Mr . Dixen told them as the wet had prevented them from holding their intended meeting , he would , if it was fine when heTetnraed in the evening , address them npon the all-important subject of Chartism and its objects . Having arrived at Bull-hill , it was a pl .-asing sight to see the hardy sons of toil wending their way up the vailies and over the hillB to the appointed spot were the meeting was to be hoi den , which was markedontby a flag fluttering in the breezs . The people were not a little smnsed to see the stir

      amongst the peace-preservers . Police inspectors driving about in gigs , giving their instructions to the privates , who were all in plain clothes , except one who droTe one of the gigs . In fact it appeared that they were afraid that the Chartists were going to Jake tbe mountain , called Black Hill , away on their backs : for one of the county magistrates had demeaned himself by coming in the character of a SPY upon otter men ' s actions , being djussed vj > is the GjlBS OF A BSOBES BOWS DROVES , ilr . Waloh , from Bbrkbwn , was unanimously called to the chair , and he opened ihe meeting by giving oui an appropriate hymn , which was sung in grand siylei After this he addressed them tor a stort time and then introduced Mr .

      Mickle , from Blackburn , who addressed them upon the nece&ity of Organization , and the inculcating the principle of brotherly kindness amongst each other . JBe also told tbe meeting lhat it was necessary to have an Executive as a governing head ; hut unless they attended to the Organization of their various- localities , it would all be to no use . Mr . Jklickle concluded with an earnest appeal to them to bestir themselves in earnest in the great work of a nation ' s freedom . The chairman then introduced J&r . Drxon , from Manchester , who said , when he looked upon that ~? 25 » assembly , he could Dot for one -moment believe that they mxe all enrolled Chartists . In this and all other mixed assemblies , there were persons of different opinions , and parties who came for different objects . Some might come

      out of curiosity , and some to ridicule ; whilsj others might come Xot the more manly purpose of hearing what Chartism was , and thus judge foT themselves ; bni there were others who came for none of these purposes , but to watch the speaker ; and , if in the heat of tbe moment he should drop an nngnarded word , to catch that and take it to their employers to see if they could make " sedition" of it . He { Mr . Dixon ) was glad to see mes of this description on hi 3 right and on his left ; and also one for his footman— ( laughter ) . Ha hoped that they would take heed to what he said , and give a correct account to those lhat sent them . He was glad to see them there ; hut he must say that he would rather have seen them in their own clothes , than in the garb of spies . He would really assnre them though , that the Chartists did not fear spies . Tueir aciioDs were all above board , and therefore ,

      so far as tnty were concerned , tbe spy system wa 3 useless . But as they were there , and being the guardians of the public peace , be hoped that tbey would neither break it ihemseWes , » nor allow others to do so . Mr . D . then went into an ^ explanation of the principles and objects of the Chartists , and addressed the people for near two hoars . He concluded by calling upon the people to commence doing their own work , or it would never be done . The Chairman gave ont another hymn , and the meeting

      separated . When the Bolton Chartists entered Torton on their way back , the people were awaiting their arrival , ilr . Dison addressed them , according to promise . The friends arrived back to Bolton beiWixj eij » ht and nine o'clock m ihe evening , highly delighted with their day's pleasure . BRIGHTON , Sussex . —A meeting was bolden at tbe Cap of Liberty , Foniand-t , treet , on the 30 th ult ., Mr . Fiest in the chair . Proposed by Mr . Page , seconded bj Mr . Williams , " That the members of the Council of the National Charter Association

      reading in Brighton , approve of the suggestion m theater for appointing a Committee pro tern ., at Manchester , for the Victim Fntd ; and that the said Committee should be empowered to receive and disburse all monies in hand ; and we recommend that tbe " victim Fund be equally distributed amongst the sufferers in the Chartist cans?—snch distribution being regulated according to the number of family and actual wants in each case . As boou as we know that the committee is appointed , we wiU transmis a contribution forthwith . "—Carried

      ananimonaiy . . LEICESTER- —On Snnday morning , Mr . Samuel Paries delivered an address to a nnmerons audience , from the Lamentations of Jeremiah . In the evening , from Timsthy , on " the duty of Bishops . " He gave a true delineation of the character of tiie present race of dignitaries of tlie Church , enumerating all tbe deadly weapons they employ against the liberties of the people H 5 a ^ Sseourae occupied neatly two qoutb in delivery ; it ¦ was a masterpiece Gf argumentative reasoning , on the absurdity of an established joieathood .

Kydd lectured in the Chartists * Hall , on Sunday evening , " on tbe existing government , and the various suggestions of political economists to remove the existing distress . " He contended that no substantial benefit would accrne to the people without a governmental change- The Charter Suffrage would empower the people to redress their own grievances , and without that , be believed , that the condition of the whole industrious classes would never be what it ought He likewise advanced many able arguments in defence of his position . Mr . K . will lectnte ^ again in the same place , on Sunday evening next , at seven o'clock .

There were , however , three of the polica present , taking notice of the proceedings . The meeting -was addressed by Messrs .

      CARLISLE . —Meeting of the Council of the CHAHTiST ASSOCIATION . —On Sunday evening last a meeting of the above named body took place at their room , No . 6 , John Street , CaldeWgate ; Mr . Robert Graham in the chair . After some ( preliminary bnsJness was disposed of , the members of-the Council took up the subject of the Victim Fund , tne necessity of which -was -warmly advocated ; after -which the following resolution was moved by Mr . John Qilbertson , and seconded by ilr . John Mc'Qaire , and carried unanimously : — " That a collection be entered into , on Saturday evening , August 12 tb , in aid of the Victim Fund , and that the mon ^ y subscribed for that purpose be placea in the hands of the Treasurer , and be sent off from time to time , 01 as the General Victim Fund may require . "

      This , is a step in the right direction , which would have beenjtaken much sooner by the people , bad they really known tbe absolute necessity of iV Had a plan , which we laid down many months ago , been laid before Mr . O'Connor and others at Lancaster i as it ought to have bteni -we have eveiy reason to believe , that long ere this a well-managed Victim Fund would have been in operation . What was our plan ? It was this . That the Chartist Conncils in every locality , where there were victims , make a regular and faithful return of the nnaber , giving their names , their . wives , ( if any ) and the number of their families ; also & full and particular statement of the circumstances of the various families , and to what extent they ought to be assisted . This return we proposed having signed by tte chairman and

      Secretary of each Association , and sent to the Central Committee , who would see it ttatsir duty to make a faitbfui record of all tne returns made to them . Being thns ! in possession of accurate information , the Central Committee would see tbe necessity of publishing in the columns of the Horthem Star , a fnll account of all the cases , the extent of their necessities , and the amount likely to be reqnired iy the Committee , to meet those necessities in such a -way as to save all parties involved from suffering anything like want . This must now be done withont delay , and done too , in that tffectual way which will seeure to the Committee in Manchester , the

      meaus of acting with vigour and effect Tbe wife and family of no good honest Chartist should be allowed to suffer ; more especially when he himself is suffering the worst of treatment in sotue cold and humid celL No ; every thing should be doue to afford him comfort and consolation , by endeavouring to dispel the cheerless gloom of his dungeon and to calm the perturbation of his tioubled mind , by affording that support which his eireurostauces so imperiously demands . I > et him see that tboaa who have hitherto received support and succour fronrhini , be act allowed to pine in want and misery , and become the prey of the cold-blooded master in a Bastile , where

      " Sim-es are scarce as cooling wells Upon the arid "wild ! Where frowns are withering as the " hells " Are to the factory enild . " We need not pursue the picture any farther , for it is familiar to all thoughtful and intelligent Chartists . The wife of the patriotic and talented Cooper , is about to be dragged from a sick bed and thrown into the street , because her house rent and taxes are not paid . Forbid it Chani&m ; forbid it every feeling of gratitude and respect which the Chartist body generally owe to this man' jj able and honest advocacy ; of their principles . Why has Cooper got so severe a sentence ? because he had the baldness and ability to drag the mouster of corruption Irom his den , and exhibit him in all his hideousneaa to tbe -world . His I able and talented expoture of the doings of tbe league , are nob to be estimated , asd ought never to be forgotten by the people .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Wednesday . The adjourned debate on the Irish Church was resumed by , Mr . Thela . wney , who advised the House to take into its deliberate consideration , that they must either abolish the Established Church in Ireland , or submit to the alternative of civil war . Sir R . H . Inclis followed , criticising Mr . Ward ' a plan for redistributing the revenues of the Irish establishment . The member for Sheffisld , though belonging to' the established Church m England , would coolly rob the sister Church of 17 s . 6 "d . out 01 every pound sterling of her income—would put a halter round her neck , with the other end of the rope in the hands of her bitterest enemies , and drag her to dishonour and destruction .

      The Earl of Listowel -warmly and emphatically condemned tne past policy of England towards Ireland , the blame of which he did not wish to throw on any existing party , bui which now required to be dealt with vigorously and impartially , if we wished to retain the affections of the people , Or to preserve the union . Lord Bernard contended for the , apostolicity oC the Church of England in Irejand , which he supported , not because it was the Church of the majority of the empire , but because it was essential to the welfare of a Protestant state to maintain the ascendancy of the Protestant Church . Mr . Ccchra . ne said , that the maintenance of the Union was involved in that of the Church .

      Mr . Viluers Stuart contended that the question of the Established Church in Ireland was not one of religion but of property— -not of faith but of money . Mr . Hardy , considering thai the primary funotioa of the established Church in Ireland was to preach the Gospel , defended it on scriptural grounds . While he was speaking , notice was taken that there were not forty members present , which proving to bo the case , the House adjourned at eight o'clock .

      Thursday , Aug . 3 . A long conversation ensued on tbe "counting out " of the House the night before , when it appeared that the cause xvas the non-attendance of the " liberal " English and Irish Members . A conversation also ensued on the Scotch Church Bill , and then some unimportant business followed .

      "Rebecca" still continues at work . Toll-gates disappear as if , by magic . The troops are harrassed beyond measure ; but they always happen to be just where they are not wanted ! and' the parties they are out in quest of always appear upon the spot just vacated by the soldiery . The parties who were apprehended , as announced in our last , have all been bolden to bail . The main charge that seems to be against them is that of assaulting Captain Napier , the officer . As for tho " information" said to have been given by a

      " Rebeccaite" traitor , it is held not to be worth one pin . His wife says he was in bed with her at tho time the Tolgoed toll-bar wa 3 demolished ; and which he has hoaxed the police into the belief that he was present at . She also says tbat he ia not quite baked in his upper garret : but soft as he may . be , the police seem to be softer still . Respecting the present position of affairs we have received the following by the last post oa Thursday , from a correspondent of our own , whom we thank for his attention , and trust this is not t . he last of hia favours : —

      Swansea . ^ Sir Robbbt Alarmed . —To-morrow ( Wednesday ) being the day fixed for the re ^ examir . atioa of the parties charged with a participation in the doings of Rebecca , no small anxiety ia shewn by the "powers that be , 'lest an outbreak of some kind or other should take place upon that day . We previously had a strong body of infantry ( more than the barracks could accommodate ) , stationed in the town ; but this powerful force was deemed wholly inadequate to protect the liege subjects of * " oar Sovereign lady the Queen , " against the formidable powers of the all conquering Rebecca . So we have to-day been favoured with a fresh impoitatioo , consisting of a troop of the 4 th Light Dragoons—fellows with long mustachios and

      longer swords—and two additional companies of infantry , who look as if they required some Welsh mutton to restore vigour to their exhausted frames . I was up at Newport last week aud saw some " flying artillery , " destined , no > doubt , to mow down or to blow op Rebecca ' s daughters , whtn thiy catch them . In short , the whole district is in a ferment . Our worthy Mayor , honest man , is at his wit ' s end . A few days ago , some hayma&rerB were rotuTning from their work , carrying a comrade shoulder high , who had actually the hardihood to cry " Rebecca for ever 1 " But as this was , of course , a ' species of high treason , the Mayor , it is said , struck the delinquent with a cane , gave him over to the eokce , and afterwards held him to bail . A subscription is going on to enable the party to prosecute the Mayor for an assault . Yesterday I had occasion to call at the police office , and I found

      those worthies furbishing tip old pistols , each -with a face as long as a . fiddle ,, and appearing mortally afraid that some serious onslaught was about to be made . A lot of arms hare been found in the possession of a respectable person in this neighbourhood , the investigation about which has been strictly Private ; but the party has been held to bail . The copper-makers turn out on Monday next ; when I am informed that an attempt will be tned to make it a Chartist strike . Should such an attempt be made I shall certainly be there , and oppose it all to my power , as I think this kind of fun has cost us dear enough already . I forgot to say that the testimony against the Rebecoaites is not worth a straw , as the only witness against them was a man who was quietly in his bed while the whole game was played . At least his wife says sol Should anything of importance occur tomorrow , i shall send you vrord in time for a Bccond edition .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Thursday . Lerd Brougham brought bnfore the House a " stupid , ridiculous , malicious , and false libel" upon him , which had appeared in ihe Examiner . He would not , at this season of the session , move for the party to be brought before the bar , but would do so next session . Lord Cajipbell said it was a breach of the privileges of the House ; and he doubted whether Lord Brougham could give notice to bring the matter before the House next session . He thought they must deal with it then .

      Lord Brougham said he would put that aside . He bhould proceed at law and prosecute , and they should then see whether the law had any protection to afford the Members of Parliament .
