      SHEFFIEIJ ) . FUNERAL OF TBE VICTIM , SAMTJEL HOLBEKRY . MAGNIFICENT DEMONSTRATION . From the moment that the death of poor Rolberrv became known , the Fig Tree-lace Council determined upon bringing the body of the deceased to Sheffield , and giving it a pnblic " funeral in testimony of the high esteem in -which the deceased patriot w ; is held by his brother Chartists of this town . Mr . Samuel Lndlaxn , a veteran in ihe cause and a persona friend of Holberry '? was delegated on the Tmsday sight lo proceed to York to demand the body . The

      following morning , ( Wednesday ) , Mr . Lualam departed on his melancholy mission , and returned to Shefidd at mid-day on Thursday , with the body , in the company of Mr . Robert Uc-maije , and Mr . Peter M \ Laughlen of York , whese zealous Eerv . ces cannot be too mnch admired and applauded . The body was lodged at the house of Mrs - Hoiberry ' s psrents at Atterciiffe , with whom she resided . Mr ? . Holberry , the wife of the umortnuate patriot ,. is a woman po ?? cisirg Considerable personal attractions and mental accomplishments of no mean order . Her sufferings may ha better imagined than described ; we sirinkfrom the painfnl ia = k of attempting lo pourtray them .

      On Friday , green placards , edged with black , were posted thrcngh the town announcing the funeral as follows : — " Faneral procession of Samuel Hoiberry , the Martyr to Liberty . — Peace to his Soul J' —The friend ? of free-dam will assemble on Monday , June 27 th , 1542 , m Paradise-sqaare , at one o'clock , for the purpose of forming into procession , with oand , banners , &c , ; and from thence will march to AixereliiFd , to laebt the body of the departed Samuel Bolb ? rry , previous to its interment in the Cemetry . Marshals axe appointed to form the nrocessiou and dirfc ? the route . —It is particularly r » qaested that all parties attending the fnaeral will abstain from intoxicating drinks , observing our Motto of * Peace

      Law , Order / and all will observe teat strict decorum which the solemnity of the occasion demands . Mr . G . J- Harney , and Slr . S . Parkes , will deliver appropriate addresses af er ; he burial service . " Monday , Jnne 27 tb , a day that will long be remembered in She firldjCame . and the snn roso bright and glorious to smile upen the efforts of the people to do honour to the remains of their martyred friend . A large placard , printed at . Birmingham , was placed outside Mr . Hirney ' s residence in Hartshead , and attracted the attention of many hundreds in : ha course of the morning . Certain jackalls from the Police Office had macs themselves busy in copying ' . he placards , notices . & ^ . in front of Mr . Haxney ' s house , ( whether they w ° re officially employed

      we cannot say ) and in the course of the morning Mr . Rayner , tie superintendent of the Sheffield police , called upon Mr . Karney , and requested that he wccid withdraw ihe above placard . Mr . H . politely declined doing so , at the same time telling Mr . Rayner that he had nothing to fear , if the peace of the ' town was left to the keeping of the Chartists , and they were not interfered with . By twelve o'clock some hundreds of persons had assembled in Paradise square ; their numbers speedily augmented to thousancs . About one o ' clock the people in dcv ? e mass left the square and proceeded to Att ^ rcnfie . The body was eEcIo ? ed in a splendid oak coffin , hsncscrcely decorated , mzde at York under the direction cf the CLarti ? : body . The following was the inscription epen . tLe breast-plate : —

      " SilirEL HOLBEBBT , Died a martyr to th ? cau ? e o : " Demscracy , Jane 21 si . 1842 , Aged 27 . " AH the mournful preparations having been completed , the procession started in the following order : — The band , playing the solemn air of PJeyel ' s German Hymn . Two Undertakers . Two Mates . The hearse , beautifully decorated , containing the body of the deceased Patriot . Large and magnificent bhek tanner of the National Charter Association , ( Figtree-lane 3 ) with ; he following inscription : — u YcEgeance is mine , aid I will repay it . saith the

      Lord . " " Clayton and Holberry , the Martyrs to the People ' s Charter . " On the reverse side" Thc-u shal : do io murder . " Two mournirg ccaches , coma-mug the female relatives of the deceasea . An open carriage , containing several female inonTDers . Ths mala rfcl&tircs of tire deceased , oh foot . Members of the Conaeil of the National Charter Association , ( Fjgtree-lane . ) Members of the Association . Females , two deep—Men , four deep . Members of the Political Institute , two diep , bearing a white banner , with the following inscript'OEs : — " Political Institute , Birks—Clayton—and Hol&errv ilartvrs io the

      Charter / - On the reverse" The Lord haieth the hands that shed innocent blood . " The procession commenced its solemn march about half-past two o ' clock ; of course it was not co : fined io ihe members of the Association , as some thousands accompanied it on either side . On reaching the town , the road , along the Wicker , from the Railway Station to the Bridge , was densely crowded , and immense numbers continued to swell the mass , as i : moved on . The pavement on each Bide of the road , the doorways , windows , and in some instances the roofa of the houses were crowded with anxious £ 3 Z : T 3—even some of the chambers appealed to be

      literally crammed with human beings ; and in every nook and corner , where a view ctuld be obtained , there were men and women watching with seemingly intense interest the melancholy fight . We observed many , very many , females , unable to control themselves , giving vent to their feelings in teare . The procession having passed through the Wicker , proceeded np Waingate , the Hajmaikti , High-street , Far Gate , Barker Pool , down Coalpit Lane , to Sheffield Moor . Leaving the ranks for a moment , the writer had a view of the procession from Mr ! Barraclcugh ' s cbamb * r 3 in Far Gate ; ihe si ^ ht wa- ; truly splendid ; but ii-ws 3 on Sheffield Moor that the mighty multitude showed to the be ? i adTantage . By the time the procession had reached this quarter ,

      ttiany thoss 5 nd 3 of persons were m advance of the band , and whilst the vanguard (< o to speak ) ot the procession had reached the bottom cf the Moor , the rear had not yet left ths top cf Coalpit Late . We will not ourselves pretend to estimate the numbers . Tie Sheffield Iris , a Whig psper and np friend to the Ctiari ' sts , says 20 , 000 ; when a Whig paper says 20 , 1 ) 00 , some idea may be formed of the leal number . Several persons , not Chartists , have told us they estimated the number at pO , f Ou . SiJSee it to say that no previous assemblage in SitS-Id , within the memory of living man , has at all approached in immbero that of Monday last . Is Cnarii = m dead I We may observe that along the ur . e of march the shops were closed . We are sorry

      we cannot give the middle class credit fur intending ^ y respect thereby . From Sheffield Moor the proeessicn proceeded along the New road to the Cemetery , ihe fields on each side being lined with spectators . On coming within view of the Cemetery some iendreas of persons were seen already within the S « es who had obtained admission to the gronnd by a Private road . As soon as the gates were opened ' rash , fearful , but fortunately only momentary * ook place . There was nothing like tumult or disorder , the rash that was made being occasioned bv the intense and natural desire to get as near to the grave as possible . The band remained at the

      8 a . es ; the hearse , coaches , and people following , en nosse , up the gravel walk to the chapel . The oofiin having being removed from the hearse and « ken within the chapel , where was admitted the ffiourctrg and a Jew select friends , the burial service was read by the Revtrend Mr . Landells , Independent Minister of Lee-croft-Chapel . The coffin was then removed , and having been lowered ^ to the grave , scarcely a dry eye viewing the sad spectacle , the Rer . Gentlemen offered up a solemn and impressive prayer , and having done so itnraediiiely retired . The following hymn composed for the occasion by

      John Hei ; ry Piranmieh of Leicester , was th ^ n given out by Mr . Samuel Parkes , and bung to the air of the Old Hundredth psalm : — Great Gad ! is this the Patriot ' s doom ? Shall they who dare dtfend the alaTe , Be hnri'd vriikin a prison's gloom , To fit them for an early graye" ? Snall ' victim after victim fall , A prey to crnel class-made laws ? Forhid it . Lord ! on Thee Te call , Protect us and defend our cause . In vain ire prayd the powers that be To burst the droopins capiiv& ' s chain . But mercy , Lord , belongs to Thee , For thou hast freed him from all pain . Is this the price of Libtrty ? to

      Must Martjrs f ^ il tain 'he pr ! z 9 ? Then be it bo ! we will be free , Or all beccme a saaiSc ! Tho !

OI may his fa ^ e cement tie feocd TLat binds us to oar glorious cause ! Kaise ! raise the crj ! lfct all rttprnd ; " Justice , and pure and equal laws . "

      Mr . Juliin Harney , standing on the ecj ^ e the i-rave , then add ^ v . ^ trii the assembled p . ople in nearly tLe following words : — Sisters and Brethren , —We have gathered together npon this mourniul oceat-ion to pay a last tribute of respect to a departed brother ; cue of the lEsriyred victii £ i « -cf dt ^ poMsia ; oi ; e cndiared to us alike by his public" virtues and private worth ; one who was emphatically au "honest man" — "the noblest work of God . " You wiihin the corapas 3 of my voice—I at i . w compared with the many thousands of whom you are a portion—yon whu knew him as a public man can bear witness to liis sterling honesty , his unbounded integrity , his thorough incorruptibility , aiivi dauntless courage . His afflscTtd partner—his scrrowiug relatives—those who

      knew aim as a neighbour , or a townsman ; all who had the hr . Dpiness to ecji > y his friendship can tettily to his moral « reutness ; and tbe : r presence and tears this day ar-- the evidences of his virtue-, and their veneration for the possessor of them . Yet have wo asteuibUd here to-day to mourn over the grave of one to guud , so br ^ Te , so noUls of heart a :. d soul . Why . « . ) why is this ? What was his crime ? What his tfL' iici : ? r-for which ha has bien seat to ths cold g-. ave 2 He saw his country enslaved , her sous in bocdn ± : e , her daughters in misery—lie heard the cry of di-trc ~ .-, ; lie wail of agony which rar . £ through the land ; and his heart was d : ov . d whh [ ity for his feliow cr' 2 tsre 5 , aud beat high whh stern resolve to break his country ' s fitter . Oppression hovtred ov ; r Eugiaud , and freedom had i ' nd her shores ;

      but" She has sons th ^ t never . ' never ! "Whilst heaven has light or eanh bos graves , Will Btoop to be tiie despots' slaves !" and of these was the heroic patriot over whose inanimate remains we now mourn . Brave himself , he believed in the courage of aii who a 7 plauded his generous sentiments ; and in the hour oi" trial , left ocsnppoi t ^ d , lie fell . Possessing a . heart wuhoat guise , Le believed in the umh of all men ; sjid confided in Eiiscreai ts wio betrayed him into the hands of the enemies of his country . What language can be too Jttong in which to denounce the incarnate fiends—thg Iscariot traitors—to whom I allude ? " those c * : aoo " mbs of liviug death "—to speak of them in the language of Curran— " where the wretch that is bur : ed a man , lies till his heart has time to fester and dissolve , and is dug up an informer 1 "

      0 2 for gold uncounted , for power unlimited , for the r . ealih of Crosus , or the sceptre of the Gesars , 1 vrou'd not hive that man ' s blood upon my head . But why dwell npon the crimes of the rotten-hearted villains that for the sake of filthy lucre would betray the cause of freedom \ They were but the despicable tools of their base employers—the oppressors that "have pursued him to his grave . It nothing shors cf his blood would satisfy them , why the mockery of sentencing him to imprisonment I Four years cf torture , two of which have been sufficieLt to consummate the horrid tragedy ! O possessed I the power to give utterance to the tbonghts . swelling within my breas : , could I Isunch the thutders of eloonence against the heads of the destroyers of Holberry , I would rouse ye to men of more than common mould ; my words should make

      " The very atones To rise against earth a tyrants , " and the cry of " Holberry and justice , " ringing through the land , should strike the death-knell of tyranny , and procLim to the world the overthrow of cespoiisn : and oppression ! J Our task is not to weep 2 We must leave tears to women . Our ta .-k is to act ; to labour with heart and soul for the destruction of the horrible system under which Ho ^ berry has p ? rished . His sufferings are over ! He is where " the wicked cease from troubling ar . d the weary are at rest . " He sleeps well He is numbered with the patriots who have died

      martyrs to ire caus&of liberty before him . His is the bloodless laurel awarded him by a grateful and admiring petple I How different to the wreath which encircles the brow of the princely murderer and the conquering destroyer ! Compared with the honest , virruous-fameof this son of toil , how poor , how contemptible , appear the so-called glorie 3 that emblaz m the name of an Alexander or a Napoleon ! Desolated empires and fla . Dt , htercd myriads have preserved their races frcm oblivion , but will net in a future and a belter ? ge save them from execration ;—whilst with the Teilffand Tylers of the earth , tho name oi Holberry will be associated , venerated and adored

      ! " Far dearer the crave or the prison , i Illumed by one patriot ' s name , ; Ttan . the . tropl-its ' ff all who have risen ; On Jibertj ' s ruins to fame . " i . Be ours the task to accomplis-h , by one glorious ; effort , the freedom of our com try , and thereby pre-! vent , for the future , the sacrifice of the Eons of freei dom . Tvrants have in all ages and all countries ] strove by per ? crution to cni 3 h liberty ; and by torj tnre , rhaicf , 2 nd death , to preyevi ths as-ernoB of 1 the rights of man . It would appear that our ! haughty rulers are bent upon following the same i course , and seeking by the same msaus to arrest the j progress of democracy . We bid them defiance ! we ; tell these puny Canutes that , de ? pi-e their bidding ,

      the ocean of intellect will move on ' . Here , by tr « e i grave-side of the pciriot ; here , tinder the bright j blue canopy of the skies , let us ei . ter it to a " solemn kague ana covr nact '—let the honest and trne cm-: brace in fraternity , and swear wiih me—swear by j tfee imperishable truth of our principl es—by the I dead relics of our murdered brother—swear , whilst j the spirit of Holberry holers over us , aud smiles I approval cf the vow—swear , to unite lu one com . ttess : moral phalanx , to put forth the giant strength \ which UEion vrill call into being , aud aid , assist , and : fraternise with each other to burst ths bonds that ¦ bind ye . Swear as I now swear , that neither psrse-[ cution , nor scorn , nor ca ' umny—neither bolts , nor j bars , nor chains , nor racks , nor gibbets—neithtr the tortures of a prison death-bed , nor the terrors of ihe

      ! Ecafibld , shall sever us from our principles , affright ; us from our duty , or car . se us to leave the onward path of freedom ; but that , come weal , come woe . : we swear , with hearts uplifted to the throne of ! eternal justice , to have Tetr ; bunon for the death oi i Holberrj ! Ewear to have our Charter law ! and to I annihilate for ever the blood-stained des-! ) . otism which has slain itB thousands of : martyrs and-tecs of thousands of patriots , and I immolated at * it 3 shrine , the lovers of liberty and truth ! If ye do" thidand act upon your vow , while we mourn the death " of llolberry , our children will rejoice that he died not in vain ! but that from his ashes rose , pbcca- ' x-like , his dauntless spirit , inspiring you with the love of freedom I and the stern rtsolve to set your country free I

      The deepest silence prevailed during Mr . Harney's address , iri ! e : rrupted only by the occasional tall-suppressed responses of his hearers . Mr . Samuel Parkes followed—Friends and fellowcoumrynun . The circuni-taEces ihtt have called us together are the mos-t solemn , important , and affecting that can possibly be contemplated . We are called upon to do honour , not to one who was sealed on a throne of grandeur , swaying the scf ptre of royalty over empires—nor io one who inhabited the gorgeous palace , or the costly mansion—nor to one who sought to lay cp gold as the dust , or silver as the balance—nor to one who wished to raise a splendid monument whereby to perpetuate his fame ;

      bet to one who , deeply imbued with the feelings of humanity , deeply sympathising with those suffering around him , was ready to use any and every means for the purpose of lessening their sorrows and muifjaticg their , woes . Thence it was that he became an easy prey to those vile took , men of his own order , who were employed by the powers that be to entrap the unsuspecting into the meshes of tke law , thereby hoping to defeat , by £ uch means , the glorious end which Holberry had in Tiew , the freedom of his countrymen from that political bondage in which , for ages , they had been held . Let so one dare to insult his dead ashes now that they are laid in the silent tomb .

      Many have been the base calumnies that have been cast upon his character by his enemies . Some have branded him with the name of traitor , assassin , and spoliator ; as one who desired to enrich himself at the expense of others j but ah ! my friends , such motives as those did not exist in the breast of the departed martyr . Ah no ; rather let them refer back to the causes which were in existence , which led- him to adopt the means he cid for the overthrow of class-legislation , and the annihilation of bad laws , and to which he was incited by the hireling spies of a corrupt Government . My friends , I have BtaAed already that the circumstances which have called hb together are of the ' most solemn , painful , and impressive charac-

      ter . Ttemember that wo now stand upon the tombs of the departed cf all ag ^ s . Look at the vast assemblage that have congregated and followed , in mournful procession , to this consecrated spo * . ; and then contemplate that , at a day not far distant , worlds upon woilds shall be congregated together , not by the mere sound of music , but the blast of the archangel ' s trumpet shall sound through the caverns of the dead "arise ye and come to judgment ! " See the graves opening , tombs shivering , the earth quaking , and the rocks rending , mountains falling , planet after planet , comet after comet , constellation after constellation , the sun turned into darkness , and the moon into blood , and the whole universe kindled into

      one grand conflagration . Then shall nature utter her final groan ; atter which shall be seen erected in the high heavens above , the great white throne ^—white , indicative of its purity , upon which shall be seated the great judgo of all the earth , aroui . d whom Bhall be gathered the oppressed aud tho oppressor , the monarch and the subject , » he tyrant and the slave , who shall each receive , without partiality , according to his works . Then we trust to meet our departed friend enshrined in an immortal and glorified body in the climes of bliss ; where the chains of slavery never clanks , the tear . of sorrow never falls , and the sigh of distress is never heard . I call upon you by all that is great and wise and good ,

      to prepare for that solemn and important event ; and while you are so doing forget not the great aud glorious struggle in which you are engaged , and for which HuJberry has suffered a martyr ' s fate . Rally round the standard of your Charter , and for the sake of a Shell , a Frost , a Clayton , and a Holberry ; for tho fake ef the widowed wives and fatherless children of those departed patriots ; for the sake of all that are now suffering ; and for the sake of posterity yet unborn , re ? t not , day nor night , until by every legal and constitutional means you have mada tho Charter the law of the land , and thereby proclaimed the physical , moral aud political freedom of the universal family of man !

      Mr . Thoniasson followed Mr . Parkes delivering a brief address . The parties then left tho grave , and the mass of people forming in procession left the Cemetery , returning to the town by the same line of route taKen in coming to the ground . The mourners returned to Atterclff ^; the people to Paradisesquare , whers t ' . ey almo ? t immediately separated , returning quietly to their homes . It was ten minutes to seven o'clock when the people reached the Square , the proceedings haying thus occupied close upon seven hours .

      Some fears were entertained that considerable damage would bo done to the beautiful walks and graves in the Cemetery by the presence of so largo a number of peopla ; happily these feavs proved illfcundjd ; the only danis ^ e done was tho trampling down of the grasB and a few of the nowcrs in the vicinity of the grave ; this was unavoidable . We did not observe a solitary cuse of druukenness or disorderly conduct , eiiher going to or returaiug from tho Cemetery . Public Meetings . —A meeting was held the same evening in Paradise Square , to take into consideration the propriety of memorializing the House of Commons , demanding an investigation into the conduct of Sir James Graham regarding the death of Samuel Holberry . Notwithstanding that tho people must have been fatigued wiih the labours of

      the day , in the course of an hour from the first dispersion of the people , they had reassembled many thousands strong ; indeed , by half past eight o ' clock , the Square in every part was nearly filled . Mr . Evisson was called to the chair , and opened tho busiucss in a brief but effective address . Mr . Clark , of Stockport , was then introduced to the meeting , and addrts-td the people for upwards of an hour in a soul-stirring address , in tbc course of which he was loudly and enthusiastically cheered . Mr . Edwin ( not William ) Gill . moved a resolution denunciatory of the Government with respect to poor Holberry ; seconded by Mr . Samuel Parkes , and carried unanimously . On the motion of Mr . Harney , seconded by Mr . George Parkes , the following memorial was unanimously agreed to—iti adoption closing the proceedings of the day : —

      To Ike Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ire ( and in Partiamenl assembled . The Memorial of the Inhabitants of Sheffield , in public meeting assembled , this 21 Ih day of June , 184 ' 2 ; Sheweth , —That S 3 rnuol Ilolberry of Shcffi- ' -ld , was convicted * t the York Spring assizes of 1840 , of conspiracy and sedition , and sentenced to lour years imprisonment in ftonhallerton Hous-e of Correction . That your memorialists have good reasons for asserting their belief that the said Samuel Holberry wa 3 entrapped into tha commission ot the acts for which he was doomed to so cruel a punishment , by miscreants employed for the purpose of fermenting disorder with the view of thereby retarding the 68-tablishoient of the people's liberties .

      That the said Samuel Holberry at the commencement of his imprisonment was compelled to work at the treadmill , a punishment clearly illegal , he not having been sentenced to hard labour . That tLough fetBSF . viVEsiLY the sa d Samut-1 Holberry was removed from tho degrading ( aud in his case unlawful ) punishment of the treadmill , yet during the space of eighteen months he wa 3 sub jected to all the odious restrictions of the " silent system , " which , in the opinion of your memorialists , is a fystem of refined torture , opposed aliko to the common dictates of humanity and the precepts of the Christian religion .

      That owing to the cruel restrictions and general bad treatment to which the paid Samuel IIolbeTry was subjected , his health rapidly dechned , and he became speedily reduced to a state of extreme dobility and suffering . Tnat in the month of September , 1841 , the said Samuel Holbtrry was removed to the county gaol of York . That his health continuing to decline , his friends and the inhabitants of Shefiiad repeatedly petitioned or memorialised her Majes'y ' s Home Secretary in his behal , in which petitions or memorials they declared and reiterated their conviction , that death would be his unhappy lot unless immediately set at liberty .

      That your mrmorialiFts arc aware that memorials to the Home Office in behalf of the said Samuel Holberry , were also sent from York , Brighton , and several other places , to all of which but one uniform answer was received , " That Sir James Grah :.-m saw no sufficient grounds consistent with his public duty for interfering in the case . " That the said Samuel Hoiberry expired in York Cas' . lo of a liver complaiiit , on Tuesday , June the " 21-:, 1 G-1 " 2 , causedin the opinion of yf > ur memorialists by the long confinement to which he was fubjected . That upon the inquest held on the body evidence was given that the deceased had been in a dying sate since the month of April la > t . That this waa known to Her Majesty ' s Home Secretary cannot be denied , Sir James Graham having been in the reijuiar receipt of medical certificates testifying to the st ate of the deceased ' s health .

      Your Memorialists are aware that an order for the relesse of the said Samuel Holberry , reached the authorities at York a few days previous to his death , with the conditions annexed that . ho should enter into sureties to be of good behaviour for five years , himself in £ 200 and two other persons in £ 100 each . Such conditions , added to the fact that on receipt cf the order for Irs release , the unhappy victim had not five days instead oi five yenrs to live , renders such seeming act of clemency a wanton and crnr-1 mockery . That your Memorialists do request your Honourable House to appoint a committee to inquire into all the facts connected with the treatment and death of the deceased Samuel holberry , with the view of rendering substantial justice .

      DUBININ . The Irish Universal Suffrage Association'raei on Sunday the " 26 th of June , at the great rooms ; , No . 14 , North-Ann-street . Mr . Donald Turner was called to the chair . Mr . Wm . H . Dyotfc tho secretary , road the minutes of tho last meeting , ^ which were confirmed . He next read -a : . -letter signed '" Matthew O'Connoll , " which appeared in the Freeman's Journal of tho 21 st inst ., aad the reply of the committeo of tho Association , which reply was paid for asa »

      advertisement , and appeared . in ... the advertising columns , though the letter appeared in the columns of the leading article . ( Hear , hear . ) He said that both the letter and the aiipw » r to it should be sent to the Northern Star for publication ; for the double purpose of affording the Chartists an opportunity of replying to the allegations in the letter ; aud also to assist them in discovering who and what this Matt . O'Connell is ? and what ho was doing during the seventeen years which he says he sojourned in Yorkshire .

      Mr . Dyott then read an excellent letter from that geauine Irishman and sterling patriot , Mr . Leeson , of whioh the following is an extract ;—"I consider Universal Suffrage to be the battering ram that will shortly domoli . sh the long-built but feebly-propped citadel of bribery , corruption , tyranny , et cum mutis aliis . "In my opinion the man who speaks against Universal Suffrage is an ' . enemy to mankind , and a slavemaker of the children yet unborn . Every lover of real ireedom Bhould promulgate the glorious principle of the Charter . . ' Homonon sibi natussed quo que aliis '" ( Greatcheering . ) Mr . Dyott , moved that Mr . Leeson ' s letter be inserted on the minutes , which was carried unanimously . ' ' i Mr . O'Higgins , moved "That Mr . James-Cullen , of Cullen , be admitted a meaiber of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . "

      Mr . H . Clark seconded tho motion . Mr . Cullen was admitted . Mr . O'Higgine rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given no ' . ice on that day week . He said that he was sure that there was not a man in the meeting who had read the Northern Star for the last five years , who would not join him ( Mr . O'Higigns ) most cordially , in tendering to the Editor of that paper , the Rev . William Hiil , their most sincere and hearty thanks for his able , consistent , fearless and unflinching advocacy of the rights of tho working classes —( hear , hear ) . They all know that he ( Mr . O'II . ) wan a Roman Catholic , but perhap 3 some of them did not know that the Rev * Mr . Hill is a Protestant minister—;( hc-ar , hear ) . Mr . Hill set

      a bright example to other clergymen by taking part with the poor , tho forlorn , the destitute , and tho wayworn wandcror . The Kdif or of a popular journal Buoh as the Nor ! hern Star , has a great deal more to encounter than ; hose who aro unacquainted with tho difficulties attendant on such an arduous undertaking imagine . A government , whether it be Whig or Tory , will be exceedingly jealous of a newspaper devoted to tho ¦ interests of the people , and will watch every opportunity , and have recourse to every means to entangle such a paper'in 'the :-. 'laws ' of libel and sedition . Now as the Northern Star is the representative of 3 , 500 , 000 people , tho representative of the wants and wishes of such a vast number of the working classes , the wonder is how and by what

      means a paper could have been conducted so long without tailing a victim to its enemies or to a want of knowledgo on the part of som > . of its * millions . .. of friends and supporters . The whole Whig press and the whole Tory press were equally opposed to the rights t ) f the people . The Whige , to be sure , professed to be friends of tho people , aud pointed out the Tories as the ' r hereditary enemies , while the ambition of tho Whhswas to have tho power to act the part of the Tories . Their deep-laid and insidious schemes to take away the last remnant of public liberty were going on smoothly enough , nntil tho establishment of the Northern Star , when the Editor of that pap * -r took the mask off : Whiggery , and exposed its hideous Countenance

      and nefarious schemes againsfe public liberty , to the astonished p . aza and execration .: of a duped , confiding , and deluded people , ( near , hear ) For this single service , though by far more valuable ) than the people are yet alive to ,: the Editor of -ih ' o Northern Star is entitled to the thanks of every : lover ot justice , of right , of a fair day's wages far a fair fair day ' s work . { Hear , hear . ) When ihe Irish Catholic clergy were assailed by Whig and Tory alternately , aud by both together when it answered their purpose ; when they were designated by a Whig scribe as hulking , idle vagabonds , opposed to a legal provision for the poor , lest it ies&en their own influence over their benighted followers , who was it that stood boldly fo ' vard in defence of truth

      and justice ! who was it . that throw all lim energy , all his talent , and all his vast power , into tho scale in favour of the injured , the wronged , and misrepresented Irish Catholic priesthood!—Tho Rev . Wil Ham Hill , Editor of- the ' -Northern ' ¦ Star . ( Hoar , hear ) He it was who contrasted ihe conduct of the Irish Catholic clergy towards their poor , persecuted flocks , with that of tho minister * of tho Established Church . He it was , who first taught the millions ' of English readurs to know and to understand how the ipoor unpaid Irish . -Catholic prieet was " instant in season and out of season , " in ministering to the spiritual wants of his parishioners , going forth at all hours of the day and of the night , administering spiritual consolation to those

      whom want , disease , or old atfe , had laid on the bod of sickness , giving his last shilling to the widow and the orphan ; and often begging alms ef those who could afford to give trnni ,- in order that ho might privately aid those who required them—those whom sickness had reduced to the last stage of povertywho had no one to look to , no friend on earth but the priest . And , during those visits to the wick-bed of the destitute and afEUted , it frequently happened that tho priest inhaled the contagion , and fell a victim to it hinvelf , while the pampered , p roud , and overbearing parsons of the church by law established , rolled along in his gilded ohariot ; and , not content with all bis worldly grandeur , and the contempt and scorn with which ho treated the poor

      Catholic priest , he villih ' ed and slandered him into the bargain . The Reverend Mr . Hill laid the conduct of the Irish Catholio priests and the conduct of their traducers clearly and truly before -his readers ; and , without saying one word as to the relative merits of the faith of either , he proved to the satisfaction of every unprejudiced reader , that the practices of the Irish Catholio priests were more iu accordance with those of the Apostles and primitivG Christians than the pracfices of their traduoers , the Whigs and Tories , both lay and clerical —( hoar , hear . ) For this expose , for this act of justice , towards his ( Mr . O'Higgin ' s ) Catholic countrymen , the Rev . Mr . Hill was surely entitled to the thanks of any and every assembly of enlightened and unprejudiced Irishmen—( hear , hear , hear , and cheers . ) J 3 ut there were grounds which entitled Mr . Hill not only to the thanks , but the aratitude of the

      Irish Universal Suffrage Association . When their Association was in its its infancy , when its members did not number twenty-five , Mr . Hill gave publicity to their proceedings' as freely and as heartily as if they npmbored as many thousands . When their Association was declared to be unlawful by the greatest criminal lawyer of the age , but the most unscrupulous asserter of anything to answer his purpose for the momont ; when that great lawyer pledged his professional reputation that it waa a transportable offence to be a Chartist in Ireland ; when the Bame man , the same pious old gentleman , had no compunctioTis visitationg for having at one time described them as Orangemen , and at another time as Ribbonmen ; and when he did not Bcraple at instigating , publicly instigating hiB deluded followers to come here and force their way into this very room ; and break the windows and everything el 3 e they could break ; elo all the

      damage in their pow § r , and then run off to the police office and s £ -nd a sergeant and twolve police men into this room u nder tho pretenee of eu ppressiiig a riot , and dispersing an unlawful assembly ; aad when the Dublin " liberal" papers published every lie , every slander that could be heaped upon us , and at the same time refused to insert oar justification ; even when offered tp : be paid for as an advertisement . Then the Northern Star not only published our proceedinga , bun the proprietor of that paper , Feargus O'Connor , published a short letter calling upon the English Chartists to send their papers to our A&FOoiation ; the result of which was that four hundred papers a week were sent to us for a considerable time ; and those papers were trans ^

      mitted to the provinces , so that in one year , not-Withstarid ! n {; alltheoppo 8 iti 6 n and misrepresentation on the pa ; rt of the Dublin "liberal" press , instead of twenty , we have now no less than 984 enrolled members !—( hear , hear , and great cheerina :. ) We owe this spreading of our principles—this vast increase inpur numbers , in a very great measure , to tho publication oft our proceedings in the Northern Star , and to the admirable articles written by the Rev . Mr . Hilt in favour of public liberty , without reference to sect or party —( hear , hear . ) The proprietor of that paper , Mr . O'Connor ^ has suffered enough already for the crimes of othrrs , for tl-. e publication of that which the Attorney-General is pleased : to call libel , without subjecting himself to irefh prosecutions ^ additional and overwhelming expence , fine , and imprisonment , with a view to destroy the paper , and , through its destruction , rivet

      the chains of slavery on the worn-out limbs of the oppressed working classss of Great Britain and Ireland , which is the end aimed at by all tho brawlers against the " tyranny of tha Northern Star "— ( hear , hear . ) They must be shallow politicians indeed who do not sec that in the event of hbuest Joseph Hume succeeding in getting rid of Feargus O'Connor and the Northern Star , his friends the "base , bloody , and brutal Whigs , " will get rid of tha complaints , the cries of tho people , who , in sudh aii eve > nt , will be allowed to die quietly . There will bo rio one to excite the sympathies of the people for a Clayton , a Peddie , a Holberry , and that pure spirit , Waikins . Let us , at any rate , joiu heart and hand to sustain , as far as in our power , the Northern Star , its intrepid proprietor , and its mild , amiable , enlightened , and unflinching edi'or , the Rev . William Hill— ( hear , hear . ) Mr . O'Higgins concluded by moving the following resolution : —

      " That any factious ir . t <> rference with tho real liberty of the press , eivher by private individuals or by public bodies , is in direct opposition to the priiicip ] e 8 of the People ' s Charter ; that we know from experience , that the movements ef a popular journal are . jealously watched by the emissaries of the law ; and that it therefore reqiiires the utmost skill , vigilance and oircumspeotion on tho part of the Editor to steer his paper clear of the legal pift-faJls by which he is surrounded ; that we are fully awarn that private individuals , and occasionally public bodies consider themselves aggrieved by tho suppression of part , or pernaps the whole of their

      correspondence which upon reflecting they will find is but very rarely done , except to avoid the meshes of the law ; and seeing as we do , that the Northern Star has been conducted with the most consummate skiil , ta ! e ? : t and integrity , its columns always open to th « publication of the grievances of a peoplo wholly unacquainted with the law of libel , we deem it au act of common justice to the Rev . Win . -Hill , the Editor , to tender him our most hearty thanks for his manly , straightforward , and able advocacy of the right 9 of the people of Great Britain and Ire-Jand ; for his unariewerable defence of the Irish Catholic clergy ; and for the kindness and courtesy which ho has unifbrmly extended to this association . "

      Mr . Dyott said he had great pleasure in seconding the proposed vote of thanks and con 8 dence in tho Eciitorof the Northern Star . He had had something to do with the management of newspapers as well as other periodicala , and he knew how difficult a matter it was to do one's dnty to the public and steer clear of offence to individuals . He had as often admired the tact and forbearance of the Rev . W . Hill as ho had the splendid common-sense articles which filled the leading columns of the people ' s paper . He did not like to name or denounco any : but theM were somo amongst the osteusible chieftains of tho movement who seamed to pamper their own' overweening vanity and ridiculous t ; elf importance , instead of cherishing at

      all sacrifices the great cause of ju-tice and the millions —( hear . ) It was to be regretted that euch diir ' drencos should come , but they were tho natural consequences of the petulant temper of some , and the morbid taste for notoriety of others , no inatter ow procured . With such rash and weak-miuded men , the Editor of tho Star had muoh trouble . If ho were imprudent enough to insert all they spoko and wrote , he would bring the paper he conducted into danger and contempt , damage the cau >? e , and retard the -progress of Chartism . Were he- to do thisfrom any miataken delicacy , he would discover that they should be now passing a vote of censure on

      him instead of a vote of conh'denoe . He was the great literary helmsman , and it behoved hitn to look ahead and steer clear of all dangers , whether from open foes or over-offioious and imprudient frionds—( htar ) For his ( Mr . D ' b ) part he must Confess he thought they owed the present proud position or" the people principally to ther advocacy of thn Northern Star , the powerful organ of democracy . He saw by the facMonal prints that a coalition of the Whig and Tory aristocracies was about being in all likelihood formed- ^ this was the consequence of the growing , or rather matured strength of the people . The Chartists could beat either of the factionH

      single-handfd , and with .-Mr . Hill at tho head of their energetic press , and Fcar ^ us O'Connor to organise their moral-foroe meetings they wouH , please God , be found too many for Whigs and Tories united- — ( cheers ;) When he contrasted the servile prints of tho day , which lauded every thing appertaining to wealth and rarik in the most fulsome strain of parasitical adulation , with the honest , fearless , and independent paper he held in _ his hand , ( the Northern Star , ) he could not suffieientiy express his contempt for the mean-sou ! ed conductors of journals which lent themselves to the support of the present netarious pystem , and his admiratron of the man who spoke through the columns of the Star the words of encouragement and prote ' tron for the poor ; those of biting scorn arid buter exposure for the unfeeling rioh and tyrannical

      great—( cheers ) . Lot them take up a Saunders of Dublin , or'aMorningPost of London , and read the columns of : frivolous nonsense about when the Qieen drove , and how ; about Lady such-a-one ' s ball , and Lord such-a-ono ' a fete ; the Duke ' s dejune a la fourchettc , and the Marquis ' s tournament , then lay iiioin down in wondering disgust ; when in parallel culuiuns they saw displayed th « unheard of wretc ' uediiesp , the utter destitution of the labouring and luxuryproducing c l asses—( hear ) . Let them then scan tho honest broadsheet he held in his hand , ami find oily held up to merited derision , tyranny to just indignation , sec courage and wisdom united , ability and prudcuco conjoined , and , thank heaven that the destinies " 6 f Uhartism had fallen into such able , such judicious , such uniaipeachable hands—( cheerr . ) Mr . Dyott , afcer some other excellent observations , resumed his seat amid general acclamation .

      Mr . Henry Clark said , as an Irishman and a Roman Catholic , he could pot allow that yoto of thankf to pass without gfviag expression to his most cordial approval of it . He had read the di-feuce of the Iris ' u Catholio Clergy , in the Northern Star , ar . d he must say that it was most admirably written , and so true that he -thought for a time that the 1 V-V . Mr , Hill could not have known so ; much about the character and Christian practices of the Irish Catholic Clergy , unless he had Bccompanicd them on Eome of their nocturnal visitations to the bed of sickness and poverty .

      Mr . Fowler sa : d that he was bronght up in what was called conservative principles , and was represented by some vile contemptible wretches , who did not scruple at asserting what they knew to be false —thai he wa 3 an Orangeman . He never was an Orangeman . He nevt-r was a regularly enrolled member of any political society , tili he joined tho Irish Universal Suffrage Association . He was a convert to their principles ; and if any thing was wanting to confirm him in them it was amply aiade up by the liberal and enlightened sentiments which ho heard theTe that day . It may be said . wiih ' -real justice that the ' majority , of those present Were R 6 man Catholics , and delighted him exceedingly io seo how cordiallv they all concurred in this vote of

      thaukHto a member of his , Mr . rawler SjOomiaunion , a Protestant Clergyman . He was a froem&n of the city , and he would do all in his power to get all his protestaut friends to join the Association , and to pledge themselves never to vo 6 e for any caudiuato for Dublin , who would not give the pledge to oppsso any ministry but one that would support ihe Ciiarter ( hoar , hear . ) - Mr . Woodward paid thathe highly approved of the vote of thanks to the Rev . Mir . Hill , and that he was delighted with the liberal speeches which he heard from the mover and seconder of the resolution . He fMr . Woodward ) was not a Catholic , but he was as Btrenuously opposed to a paid church establishment ; as any Cathdlic in Ireland . In fact , the Catholics have spoiled the Protestant clergy by _ paying them j and thus rendering them proud and independent ot

      their own flooks . What doea the rector of this parish care about him ( Mr ; Woodward ) , or about any other Protestant in the parmh , so long as he can rely upon an act of Parliament to compel the Catholics to pay him £ 500 a-yeaT . If they did not pay him ^ he should come to him ( Mr . Woodward ) for his mite , and thus be foroed , from necessity , to look after his spiritual wants . The Rev . Mr . Hill is the advocate of the volantary system of supporting the clergy ; He ( Mr . Woodward ) fully agreed with him , auvi , if it were for nothing else , he wou'd thank him for that . Several other members spoke , eloquently in support of the resolution , after which it was put from the chair , and carried unanimously .

The corn law repealers , it appears , are about to r . old another " xNationai" ( hole and corner elected ) delegation in the Metropolis , with the view of pressing upon the Government the necessity of adopting some measures calculated to afford at least temporary relief to the people . The committee of the Free Trade Association has addressed an

      advertisement to the shopkeeepers and middle class calling upon them to furnith the said committee with information respecting " the exce . dirjgly depressed aud alarming state of their trade , " and the Rev . R . S . Bailey has addressed a circular to the unemployed and suffering of the working class , requesting information respecting their condition . This gentleman , together with Edward Smith , Wm . Fisher , and Wm . Tickers , Esqrs . will go from Sheffield as the representatives of this town . Of course their election will not be submitted to the people ; nor will the working classes feel any interest in their proceedings ; regarding them , and very justly too , as " humbugs , " who with all their affectod sympathy for the working classes , nevertheless refuse to assist

      them in their struggle for their rights , which if obtained would enable them to save themselves . The death of the lamented Holberry has caused a great sensation in Sheffield . In addition to the public meeting reported in last week's Star , . Mr . Bairstow lectured on the evenings of Monday week in Paradise-square , and again on Monday evening in the Fig-tree-lane Room , where the n eetiiig was held , instead of in the Cattle-market , in consequence of the rain .
