In accordance with this opinion , the Committee nave taken a large and Commtidioua room . in the Shambles , near the Fish Marirei , capable of balding from fonr to five hundred persons , well lighted np with gas , and warmed with comfortable fire .

      Leeds district are requested to attend on that evening , and pay their subscriptions ; A Committee of fifteen efficient individuals have b » en appointed to manage the affairs of the Society , and no exertion trill be wanting to make our Society one of the most prosperous in the country : in fact , we have already sounded the death-knell of Whiggery ; and notwithstanding the attempts lately made to cajole us into the ranks of the enemy , we are as determined as ever to stand by the Cbaiter of our rights , and we eall upon all really honest Radicals to . come forward and join U 3 in the battle against tyranny , oppression , and misrule ; be assured that every measure w : H be taken to render the operations uf the body &e effective as possible .

      TX&UCOUIiTBY . —The Chartiste in this place iave taken that large and commodious hall belonging to the Rev . A . Browning for one year , and they will also let it for all public purposes , except dancing or drinking of intoxicating liquors , on very xeasonaole terras . Applications may be made 10 Mr . James iloniake , manufacturer . eiASG ^ W . —A pnblic meeting , was held in St . Ann ' s Cnurch , on Tuesday , the 9 : h instant , at eight o ' clock in the evening , for the purpose of hearing a lecture from Mr . Pattieson , on the present state of the working classes , the past and present position of political parties in this country , and several other subjects connected with the Cnartist movement ; and also . io discuss and decide upon rules and regulations for the government of ihe Scottish Chartist Teetotal Society . The meeting was numerously

      attended , notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather . Upon the motion of Mr . Kos * , Mr . Cullen was called w the chair , who opened the business of the meeung ; after which , the lecturer rose , and in a clear , convincing manner , and in & strain of natural eloquence , grasped with & master mifld the atjealion ot ins audience , while he handled the various topics of his discourse in a way that must have told home to the most obtuse intellect . His description of the miseries of the working classes was truly heartrending . He concluded by reading a copy of rules , wnich , after a few words from Sir . H ^ F&rlane , was ur . aoanonsly agreed to , and a Committee of fifteen directors appointed . A vote of thanks to the lecturer $ ad Chairman was then given , when the meeting dispersed .

      IONDOH .-At a meeting of the members of the National Charter Association of Great Britain , held a ; the Hit or Mis 3 , 79 , West-street , Globe Fields , the minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed , and new members were enrolled . Feargus O'Connor ' s letter was read , which drew forth ioud applause for that brave champion of the industrious classes . It was resolved by the meeting— " That we , the members of this Association , do fall in with the p ' ai laid down by Fewgus O'Connor in the

      last we * -k' ? Star ; and we do hereby g&t up a petition forpre ^ maiion to the House of Commons , against the infernal >\ -w Poor Law Bill . "— " Teat Mr .

WIGTOM . —A pnblic tea meeting was . given to Dr . M'Douall , ai this town , on the 9 : h instant , when fifty-two persons sat down to tea ; after which , the learned Doctor addressed about 300 of the hard working men of the place , on the Rights of Labour , " woich subject he handled most ably and

      eloquently . At the conclusion , three cheers were given 10 ; he Doewr , three for Feargus O'Connor , and three groans for the police . The sum of 4 =. 2 d . was collected , in aid of those parties who were injured at Castle Douglas . Our correspondent addnces s- 'ine very base instances of the attempts of eertaiu . udividuals of the middle classes to prevent the Qiurtiota getting a room . They succeeded in the fir ^ i instance , but , we are happy to say , they failed in the second ; for the Chartists have taken a room fur twelve months .

BATHGATE . —Mr . Harney delivered a soulstirring address in the Mason ' s Lodge , on the 11 th instant , which was crowded to excess The manner in which the lecturer tore away tbe veil of priestly hypocrisy , and exhibited the cant and the insincerity of the ( so-calied ) ministera of Christianity was matchless beyond all compare .

      LINL 1 THGOW . —Mr . Harney addressed the Linlithgow Working Men ' s Association in their place of meeting , on the 12 th inat ., —subject , The profligacy and venality of monarch ; and priestcraft .

      fellow-creaiures within the boundaries of England are perishing for want of food . " " That this meeting is determined to abide by the Charter , as the only means of obtaining a redre-s of grievances , whether they be religious or secular ; at the same time , it calls upon Dissenier 3 to leaTe the Popes of the nineteenth century , and think for themselves . " A vote of ihiuks was passed to the Chairman , and suitably acknowledged ; after which , it was proposed that the proceedings of the meeting be sent to the Northern Star ; after which , three cheers were given for the Charter andF . O'Connor , Esq ., and the meeting quietly dispersed . This was truly the most stirring meeting held here for a lont $ time . The speeches delivered by the movers and seconders were of the right sort ; and we only regret our inability to give them a place in the Star .

      BRIGHTON . —I write in haste , to inform you of a glorious triumph of the working men of Brighton over the treacherous middle classes . A town meeting was held on the 11 th inst ., in the Town Hall , the High Constable in the chair . The meeting was called for the purpose of petitioning the Legislature against the introduction of a clause in the New Poor Law Bill , now before the House , which would give power to the Commissioners of Somerset House to take supcrsedure over all places having local acts . Brighton being among the number , a meeting wa 3 thought fit to be held , to petition against the clauses giving the Commissioners the power to interfere . The tirst resolution was proposed , seconded , and carried , without one dissentient ,

      being of a mer ? local character ; but , on the appearance of Mr . Woodward to propose a resolution , an attemot was made by the factions to put him down , but he was made of too stern stuff . A gallant Whig ( Mujor Allen ) urged that he had risen first , but the meeting was iu no disposition to be humbugged ; Woodward they would have , aud the old soldier souuded tfce retreat . Oue victory attained , another was certain . Mr . Woodward lashed the vagabonds in black pretty tidily ; Mr . Allen followed in the same rouie , that made the fellows wish themselves at home in their drawing-rooms , at the wine table . Mr . Reeve—the much-persecuted William Ree ve- ^ supported the resolution ; it was so worded , that neither Whig nor Tory could carp at it ; it was

      put to the meeting ( though not very willingly by the Chairman ) and carried amidst tremendous applause . Thus ended a second victory ; but another was to be gained ere ihe business for which the Chartists had met could be concluded , and that was , the adoption of the petition founded on the resolution ; aud right merrily and nobly did the working men ^ pport their friends on the platform . Major Alien moved the adoption of a petition against the bill being so worded as would give the Commissioners power to supersede local acts : it was seconded by J . X . Wigney , E ^ q . Mr . Reeve was on his legs in a twinkling , with an addenda to the petition , " declarators of the abhorrence of the

      Poor Law , and all other Jaw ^ that press on the industry of the people ; aud that no redress of grievances would be granted till the people had the right of electing their own representatives , and making thtm responsible to the nation . " This was a stinger for them . It was seconded by Mr . Allen , supported by Messrs . Woodward and Colling ; anu for nearly two hours the scene was . indescribable . The middle men , the aristocracy , and the impartial Chairman , could not allow such a thing to take place as sending a petition from such an aristocratic town as Brighton for Universal Suffrage ; bat so it happened , in spite oJ all their trickery and 'iophisncaied humbug . The Chairman said he could not allow Air . Reeve ' s resolution to be

      embodied in their petition , and did not think he could receive it . But he had dene it , and was made to stand by it ; and was on the point of putting it to the meeting , when he was completely flabergasted , by Mr . Woodward rising to propose another amendment , in the shape of a whole amended petition . Mr . Colling seconded it . 2 i 1 t . Reeve withdrew his resolution , and supported tbe amended petition in a speech of some length , concludili ); amidst loud cheere . A question then rose as to how the sense of the meeting should be tak « n . " Divide ! divide !" echoed from all quarters ; the Chairman then appointed tellers . Uu the part of Mr . Woodward ' s petition , Mr . Reeve was appointed , and on the part of Major Allen ' s petition , Mr . Bowdidge was appointed . He then ordered the room to be halved ; a line of forms were then placed across the Hall , and the meeting divided ; the scen-i was animating . The half that contained the working men was scarcely

      large enough to contain them , while the half that contained the aristocrats and their time-serving slaves , ihe tradesmen of Brighton , was not half occupied . The Ehout that followed was loud and long—it echoed ajcain and again throughout the lofty and nobla building . The Chartist petition , was carried , when the Chairman rose and declared the meeting dissolved ' . but , not so with the Chartists . Mr . Alien proposed , and Mr . Page seconded , that Mr . Woodward take the chair , iir . Allen then proposed that the petition , as submitted by Mr . Woodward , be adopted . Mr . Colling seconded it ; and again was it put , and triumphantly carried . Three cheers were given for the Chapter ; three for Fear-£ ns , the "lion , " and all imprisoned victims ; three for Frost , Williams , and Jone 3 ; three groans—most awful—for the "" base , bloody , and brutal Whigs . " A vole of thanks was presented to Mr . Woodward , and the meeting dissolved , Biaging the first verse and chorus of the Marseilles Hymn . —Correspondent .

      HAWICK . —The Rev . Mr . Gray , and D . M . M'Giil Crichton , Esq ., delivered two lectures on lay patronage , in the Subscription Rooms here , oa Wednesday evening , the 10 th inst . The meeting , which was pretty numerous , paid the greatest attention to the speakers , and testified , by their applause , their concurrence with many of the sentiments and opinions expressed by them , especially by M'Gill Crichton , who ( so far as the Church was concerned ) delivered an excellent Chartist lecture . After the close of his address , Mr . Crichton read a petition to both Houses of Parliament , for the total abolition of patronage , which he wished the meeting to adopt and sign . Mr . John Rutherford , salesman , opposed the petition , on the ground that it did not so far

      enough , and moved an amendment , praying for a separation of Church and State . Mr . Pickard Harris had no objections to Mr . Rutherford ' s amendment , but proposed another , to the effect , that this meeting considers no « ffectaal remedy for the evils of patronage will ever be produced until Universal Suffrage becomes the law of the land . Mr . Crichton then took the sense of the meeting on both amendments conjointly , when a forest of hands were held up for them . On a show of hands being taken for the petition , only seven hands were held up for it . The only vexatious thing was , that Mr . Rutherford could not conscientiously vote for his own

      amendment . What a pity ! It is satisfactory to state , that the whole proceedings were conducted in a peaceable and orderly manner , and that not a single disrespectful expression escaped the lips of any who took parr in the business . Give but tbe public fair play , as Mr . Crichton did , and we will never hear a word of disorderly meetings . It is but justice to Mr . Crichton to say , that he distinctly denied being to blame for Julian . Harney ' 3 arrest ; on the contrary , he used his influence to prevent it . He attribared Harney ' s seizure to the over-zeal of the worthy "Bulky" to do hi 3 duty , or rather more than his dnty

Witness—Because I dreaded going in , from what people said

      of the workhouses . Cor ner—And was the decease of the same opinion ? \ Vi ness—She was , Sir . Jeh Royston , tbe workhou undertaker ot Bethna green , stated that when I removed the deceased t put her in a shell , he fouo that her head was restir on a hat-box lid , whic was on a Bible .
