      The Executive's Address.

      THE EXECUTIVE'S ADDRESS .

      Brothes Chabtists , —We have by this day's post , received printed copies of certain resolutions agreed to in Nottingham , on Tuesday , October 15 th , which resolutions have been industriously circulated throughout tLe various towns in the kingdom , accompanied by letters requesting the Chartists to call public meetings , to express their opinion of our conduct , in striking the principles out of the Plan of Organ zation , and keeping the people in ignorance of the same . These resolutions have been published in one of the Nottmghsni journals ; bat have been withheld ia the NorOiem Star . We consider it decidedly improper for our Nottingham brethren to have taken these steps , without having first sought for an explanation from the Executive pro tern ., wbo were the parties

      on whom the cusiness devolved . Toe report , in its main features , is entirely false . Previous to Mr . O'Connor leaving London for his Northern tour , the plat ? , as agreed to at the Conference , was laid before counsel for their opinion . No other Plan has ever been submitted to connsel ; bat wishing to obtain Tidd Pratt ' s reasons for refusing to certify , and believing the " principles" to be the main objection , we , acting ' on the sagffestion of our legal adviser , and other influential friends , including the Editor of the Northern Star , in order to ascertain the correctness of this impression , laid the Plan again before him , in joxta-position with

      the Socialists * plan ; but with the principles transposed . By so doing we fokced him io GIVE REASONS TOR bjs hefusal ; and those reasons we e in now combat . We never intended to make any other plan than that stamped by tbe approval of Conference , the groundwork of any legal proceedings . The principles of the Charter are our principles . By them we are determined to stand or falL If we fall in procuring the enrolment , we must proceed as we have hitherto done , without it ; but the principles we will never abandon . Trusting that this explanation will be satisfactory , and that every attempt to create disunion will be baffled by the good asnse of the people .

      We remain yours , Thojcas Clark .. - henbs Ross , Philip M Gkath , President T , M . Wheeler , Secretary .

      &TOBH at scabbobough . —Tais place waj visited with a very severe storm on Friday evening last , which condnaed the whole of Saturday and the Saturday night . The brig Margaret , of Wnitby , which was stranded oa the 18 th alt ,, sad had re mained on the sands , for the purpose of clearing her of her cargo , was attempted to be got off oa the Thursday , and the work not being completed before the storm arose , she was taken out to sea , and went to pieces . Part of her has since washed npon the sands . So great w » s the violence of the wind , that aa unfinished house on the Esplanade was very much damaged , part of the end and front walls being blown down . The mill of Mr . Simpson Chambers , in Ramsdalf , bad a sail taken away , and several other persona , we understand , have suffered loss .

      The Late Stork . —The storm which took place on Friday and Saturday last , has caused great damage to vessels in different parts of the coast on both sides of the island , as well as on the coast of Ireland .

From Whitby , Scarborough , Burlington , Hull , Liverpool , and other ports , the accounts of wrecks are numerous and disastrous . — York Courant . Mamchesteb . Flood in the Ikwbll . —De stbuct 1 on ov the tekrobabt foot-bridgk nbab the New Bailet . —On Saturday evening , in conse * quence of the . heavy and continued rain , the water in the river ; Irwell rose to an unusually considerable

      height above its ordinary level , and came down with such force as to wash away a stage erected by Messrs . Pauling and Henfrey , contractors , at Hunt ' s Bank , for the purpose of carrying the iron beams to , form the intended railway bridge across the river at that place . The balks forming the stage floated down the river in one raft , with great Telocity and force , and came in contc-ot with one of the uprights supporting the temporary footbridge at the end of Bridge-street , communicating with Salford . The result of . the concussion was , that the upright or supporter was broken in two near the middle , leaving the bridge unsupported for about sixty feet . This was about eight o'clock , and the ocourrenoo was witnessed by Mr . Wilson , grocer , who happened to be in his cellar at the time , and Baw the beams floating down , the river . The passage over the bridge was immediately stopped , Messrs . Bowers and Murray , the contractors , placing a watchman

      at each end of the bridge about ten o ' clock , to prevent people crossing . Part of it fell about ten o ' clock , and another part about twelve , the same night ; but , owing to the precautions taken , no life waB lost nor any person injured . During this time the water continued to rise rapidly ; nevertheless , it is believed that the bridge would have remained as firm as when first fixed , had it not been for the accident at Hunt ' s Bank . Tho water at its highest point was from four to five feet below the height to which it rose durwg the flood of 1839 . Several smalt boats were washed from their moorings between Victoria Bridge and the temporary bridge at the New Bailey ; some of these floated through the bridge ia the early part of the evening without sustaining any injury , bnt others were broken to pieces amongst the timber which floated from Hunt ' s Bank , and accumulated at th « bridge . — Manchester Guardian .

      IMPORTANT [ MEETING AT SADDLE 1 WORTH .

      THE TBPOKSTJSB-XEAGUEBS POUNDED . TO PIECES . On Friday evening , October 27 th , a meeting w ? ' holden in the large room attached to the Swar , Inn , Dobcross , . whioh will be remembered with pleasure by one portion of it , and With chr ^ rin by another portion , for a long time to come . The large room was crowded to suffocation ; and hundreds had to depart , who could not obtain admission . No meeting for a long period has excited so much attention as the one we are now chronicling , A great number of masters were present ; and the sequel will show that it was well for them that they were so . H . H . Broughton , Esq ., a magistrate , was in the chy . ir ; and he introduced to the attention of the

      meeting Dr . Sleigh , who for about an hour-and-ab . alf pleaded in defence of the rights of labour , and against the acts of the " rich oppressor . " His arguments and facts were wormwood and gall to the free trading truoksters . They could ? not contain their bile and spleen ; but tried to -throw the meeting into ) confusion by most unmannerly interruptions . The foremost at this kind of work was one James Lees , who by some unaccountable means or other I has been manufactured into a magistrate . A more pompous , conceited , ignorant , unmannerly , tough-hided brute , could not be found in all Saddleworth ; and that is saying a great deal . His conduct was most shameful . He failed , however in his object . The people were not with him . They laughed at him ; derided him ; and put him down I I

      Dr . Sleigh , at the close of his able address , introduced his admirable Memorial for the Protection of Labour , in Which , the ease of Protection v . Free Tradeism is soiwell stated ; and a motion was moved that the Memorial should be adopted by the meeting . ¦ James Greaves , of Lees , once a pretended Chartist , but now employed by the Leaguers , offered a , '(/ uassi sort of opposition ; but dare not venture to move an amendment . ! He offered to discuss with Dr . Sleigh the question of a Repeal of the Corn Laws ,

      if arrangements were made . He showed his fitness to di ? ouss either that question or any other , by stating , point blank , and stoutly maintaining , even when eet right ; that our foreign trade alone emptyed one half of our population ! Dr . Sleigh said , that he must decline sieh discussion , not out of disrespect to Mr . Greaves : but he had challengediMessrs . Cobden and Bright ; and both thoso gentlemen had declined the challenge . He had repeated it however ; and he intended to wait to see whether it was accepted or not , before he discussed with any lesser man of the League .

      James Lees , the magistrate , then addressed the meeting on the question of foreign trade ; contending that it was far more important thaa many parties spotted disposed to consider it . ia proof of lug position he i quoted ( torn a statistical table , to shew thfct the foreign trade was more than fine-half aa vataable as the howe trade . Dr . Sleigh replied . He produced the table from which the hard-hides ! magistrate had quoted ; and shewed , most triumphantly , that fee had suppressed Vk truth I He had / only given a portion of the table ; that portion TvhWh seemed to favour his positiaa ; f / hile the remainder he had kept in the back grouad , because it upsot the argument he had been advanoing . This the " Doctor showed to be the case most conclusively , end convicted Lees as a liar in intention before the meeting . Mr . EIoa&N . from LeeSs , who had attended at

      the request of a number of the werkiog people , next addressed the meeting . The annouaeement of his name caused great'consternation aewngst the 'rauawtf&'masters , who were present . He had ' been put in possession of a number of facts of a most astounding nature , relative to the prevalence and iprefttice of truck « mongat the FRfiE-toaders ; and he < wot ? them with tewific effect ! ft was as if a bombshall 'had been dropped in amongst them . 'Pke trncbiHg-masters Qtitted their Jgeaits ; crammed themselves into earners ; got behind folks ; putted their hats over t * eir eyes ; aid weald have sank tfmwgh the jeanSh . to have got oat of the place . Tho crowded 8 ta 4 e of the room prevented them &om departing ; or th « ir presence would soon have 'been removed . Tho facts we shall , at -some future time , « ake use of ; and tell all about the doings of *^ . Lord fcOTHEB » ALE 7 * nd his set ofjRwe-traders , who tie « their poor slaves to their own eounr « rs !

      Before thejieemorial was ptit to the meeting , an « mendment by-way of an addition to it , wae moved , to the effect tfeat Protectiok to labour would be effected by a Repeal of the'Bread and AI « £ t taxes . ""When put to the vote , not * iirty hands were held up for it , oct of a meeting of more than five hundred . A ^ d when the armorial wae i put to the vote , not one hand was held-up against tit .

      should cfecliee a set discus ? fen with every tnan , until he had met either Mr . Cobden-or Mr . iiright . This valient offer Mr . Hobson witheriugly exposed ; and told the anmbus for-discusahn . man that if he meant the challenge in earnest , he ( Mr . Hobaon ) would accept it , and discuss the-question with him . But Lees now 'fell soft . He « dare not tackle to . He slunk off : acd the last weflheard of him , was that he was in the '' bar" of tfae Swan Inn , at half-past three next morning , witfa * fen glasses of brandy-andwaterin Wtn , hiccupingiftjfit "Ae tww / tt man thai could beatrtiiem all" I

      The Leaguers are disoomfitted . Their rage is boundless ; only to be compared to the joy of the working . people at their defeat . The tyrannies of the masters in that neighbourhood 'have been most monstrous . They were exposed for once ; and the guilty culprits were in the presence of the people when the exposure was made . A reduction in the wages of the men -employed by the tipplin £ -magistrate ,-Lees , had beea effected oa Monday ' tbe : 23 rd ; while the wages of the men employed 'by a master-in Ais own immediate neighbourhood , a Mr . Hastings , had been enhanced somo four or five-shillings a-week 1 The telling of those facts by Mr . Hobson had a wonderfol impression on the meeting . The people in Saddleworth have bad too much of the FiREB-Traders to be in love with Free-Trade . !

      THE STAtTE PROSECUTIONS . —NEW EVIJ DENCE .-THE POLICE . \ Dublin , Oct . 31 . It has , up ito this time , been a question whether the Govermn ^ at meant to go further back than the Repeal Demonstration atClifden , oouaty of Galway , for evidence ] vto sustain the charges against Air . O'Connell , and the other traVersers . The only informations sworn , of which copies had been supplied to the travereers , were those of Frederick Bond ( iughe 8 . the Government reporter ; sub-Inspector

      Ireland , of the constabulary , whose depositions relate to the Clifden meeting ; and those of Mr . Kemmis , the Crown solicitor , who swears as to the Repeal Association , sedition , and so forth . I apprised yea before that I had somo reason to believe the Government had other witnesses in the dark , whose ] names the travergere would hear for the first time when they were produced in court . In Ireland , I remarked at the time , the Crown sometimes adopted this practice , although I considered it not at aU likely thatjt would be resorted to in a state prosecution . ...

      According ! , however , to the information which hss just reached me , a considerable number of other witnesses are to be examined , besides those whose depositions have been published . Orders have gone down from- Dublin Castle , directing a number of policemen , who had attended the country Repeal meetings in plain cloches , to be in Dublin next Friday ) morning , in order that they should be ready for examination before the term grand jury to whom the bills of indictment against Mr . O'Connell and the other traversors are to be sent up . Those policemen , it is stated , were disguised in plain clothes , aud mixed amongst the ' peasantry at the meetings , dressed in every way just like themselvee . ;

      . STATE OP DLSTEB . The Northern Whig of Tuesday contains the following statement , which has created no small surprise here , as it has reference to the so called M Protestant- North : ' '' " Military Precautions in Belfast . —We really were not aware that our rulers were providing so anxiously as ] they appear to be doing for the safety of the good people of Belfast . Mr . Gibson , assistant barrister for ] the county Antrim , found it necessary yesterday ( Monday ) , to apprise the grand jurors , on ' charging' them , that if they could not

      manage to finish their business by five o ' clock in the evening , they would do well to decamp ; otherwise they would have to encounter a ' charge' very different from hisi In short , a strong body of military march down every evening , headed by a trumpeter , to sound an alarm , if occasion require , and take possession , for the night , of the room in whioh the Grand Jury ; are in the habit of meeting . Tnia has been the 0 ase for some time paat . It appears to be part of the system of caution acted upon by the Government ; but , besides being apparently very unnecessary throughout , it becomes inconsistent and offensive at present . i
