" That whilst the chief otgect of the Association be to establish in the

      pabBc mind the principles jfchftt all wars are wholly inconsistent with Christianity , it also may use all legal and Christian means to expose the iniquity , cruelty , and Immorality of any particular war ; and to devote itself to bring about that happy period when the nations shall leam wax no mars . " Std . •« . Tb * fc although the efforts of the Association should be directed to the enlightenment of allclasses of tte people , the labouring population should mainly be kept hi view , as the class from ¦ which the great body of the army and nary is drawn , and consequently the greatest sufferers under the present system .

      CHELTENHAM . —Mr . Bairstow is turning Cheltenham upside down : his lectures are bringing all classes to their proper senses . He lectured on Monday and Tuesday evenings to crowded audiences , at the Mecbjgprics' Institution , frequently interrupted by the cheers and plaudits of the meeting . No man ever ¦ won the respect of all classes in the manner that Mr . Bairstowh&s . At the close o ! the lectures a rote cf thaaks was proposed to Mr . Bairstow by Mr . GlenLrter , and seconded by Mr . Milsom ; and likewise a resolntion pledging the meeting to adhere to the principles

      ao ably advocated and defended by the lecturer , which was carried unanimously . Several members were enrolled Biter each lecture . On Wednesday evening , Mr . Bairstow lectured at the Temperance Hall , Bath-road , to a crowded audience . The- lecturer here went into his Eubjeetinan elcquent and forcible manner , crashing every foliah objection usually brought against the Charier . At the close cf the lecture eighteen members were enrolled . Three cheers were given for the worthy lecturer , and three for Feargus O Connor , Esq ., and the TTM » f > t * "g separated , highly delighted .

      OXiDHASL—According to previous announcement , calling -upon the people to attend a meeting in the field behind the Albion Ins , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon . At the time appointed , great numbers were seen wending their way to tbe place of meeting . Mr . Abel S « ran , of Ashton , and Mr . Jloberis , ef Warrington , delivered •? ery appropriate sermons on the occasion . In the afternoon , » t two o ' clock , Mr . Dyam , of ilossley , and others addressed the people . At these two meetings not less tforn 12 000 persons ¦ were present . Another meeting took place at six in the evening , consisting of 15 000 persons . Mr . Edward Clark , of Manchester , and Mr . Dyson , of Measley , addressed them , and save great satisfaction . AH was peace and harmony .

      DUNDEE . —The cause of the people is steadily progressing ia this quarter . The town is divided into districts , and each diBtriot is being formed into an association ; this plan seems to be working beneficially for the movement , particularly in so far as at their wekly meetings , -where the principles of the Charter are regularly discussed , a number are induced to give their attendance who were never in the habit of attending general meetings of the Chartists . On Wednesday evening last , one of these meetings was held in Miss Eassoa ' s schoolroom , Middle Wynd , Hawkhill , Mr . Alexander Rankin in . the chair . It -was addressed by Mr . Mitchell at great length , npon the absolute necessity of a thorough union amongst the working classes , and

      Messrs . Adam , Graham , and others afterwards addressed them , when a district union was formed . We long had occasion to complain of the opposition of the middle-class men to our cause . The question was always pat , when wQl the middle class come over to yon 1 Time , however , tells tales , and God knows we are getting over the middleocracy to us "bolus bolus" or in other words all in a lump . We do sot assert that they are coming from a thorough conviction of the truth of our principles , er the necessity of acting npon them . O no , bat thask heaven _ whal could not be accomplished by argument has been brought abont by circumstances . What they conld not make out to see they are now compelled to feel . The system is fast swelling the list of the non-eleetors from the ranks of the sbopocracy . Shop-shntting is the order of the day . Let a stranger enter our town from the harbour , and proceed along

      Union-street , and there he will find every third shop to let . Let him tarn eastward via High-street , Leogate , BlaekseToft , &c &o , and all presents to his view , the same dull and holiday-like indications of a want of trade . The fact is , that we need not particularise any one part of the town to find oat the distress which exists ; for from the extremetles to its centre , it presents bnt one humiliating spectacle of departed glory . At this moment neither jeweller , watchmaker , bookseller , draper , npr grocer , can manage to eke out a middle-class existence ¦ without having recourse to w"hatheha 3 contrived to save in more prosperous times , or to the other alternative of eatiog up his stock . The working man is starving in his everlasting clothes . He has no money wherewith to buy the common necessaries of life from the shopkeeper . Talk of converts to the Charter . indeed , this state of things will make more converts to the Charter than all the arguments which could be adduced .

      HTJUDERSFXBLD . —The appointment of a delezatqat a public meeting in Haddersfield , on Tuesday evening last , to represent the Haddersfield ry-rtigtBj at the great delegate meeting at Manchester on the 16 th , fell open Mr . James Shaw , of Marsh ; and be received his credentials for that purpose . Mr . E . Clayton was proposed to the meeting , and also Mr . Fprster ; but Mi . Shaw was elected by a large majority . After the election the following resolution was tmanimonsly passed : — * That we , the Chartists of Huddersfield , in public meeting assembled , cannot but express our deep regret at the occurrences of this day : and while we

      cannot but consider the employment of the military and civil power , under the circumstances , as nimecessary and uncalled for , yet we cannot countenance any riot or disturbance , or any proceedings likely to lead to a breach of the peace . " The following persons are nominated as candidates to be elected on the General Council of the National Charter Association , by the Huddersfield sub-Secretary : —James Russll , calico printer , Cowcli 2 s , near Huddersfield ; Joseph Bray , shopkeeper , TJpperhead-row , ditto ; William Townend , smith , Chapel-hill , ditto ; Joshua Hobson , Market-walk , ditto ; John Kelsoe , calico-printer . Netheroyd-hill , ditto ; Henry Lneas , tinner , Hew-street , ditto .

      CA ' T- Tr ' —State of Public Fjeexing axd Iobse Public Mectisg , to elect a Delegate to ahejtd the CosPBREXcB is ALvxchesteb . —Since the news irom Manchester reached us , the greatest anxiety and most feverish excitement has prevailed , more especially among the working classes . On Sunday altenioon , the people assembled in Caldewgate , when the Third Edition of the Northern Star was read over , which created the mo 3 t intense feeling of anxiety on the part of the meeting ; and arrangements were , made to hold a public meeting in the evening , atLseven o ' clock , for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety ef sending a delegate to the Conference , to be held in Man-Chester on Tuesday . Previous to the public

      meeting , the Council arranged to lay the state of the funds before the meeting , with a recommendation not to send a delegate , bnt to instruct the Secretary to write to the Conference , informing them of the state of the district , and the Trillingness on the part of the people to abide b } whatever decision the Conference might come to . Mr . John Armstrong was called to the chair . He explained the object of tbe meeting , and called on the Secretary to _ read over the third edition of the Northern Star , which was most earnestly listened to by the immense multitude , for there would not be fewer than from 1 . 600 to 2 , 000 persons present . The meeting then determined to send a delegate to the Conference , and instructed the Council to make

      arrangements for a public meeting to be held on Monday morning for that purpose , On Monday morning , a deputation waited upon tbe Major , Mr . George Moonsey , and informed him as to the real object of the meeting . The Mayor stated that he trusted every thing would be conducted peaceably , and in such a way as not to create any unnecessary excitement , at the present moment . The deputation assured tbe Mayor that there was no wish on the part of the people to mix themselves np with the strike . On Monday , at the time appointed , the people assembled in great numbera for tbe above purpose , when Mr . John Armstrong was called npon to preside . The following persons were duly nominated as fit and proper persons to be chesen : — Mr ^ Henry Bowman , Mr . James Arthur , Mr . John Sbepbard , Mr . J . B . Hanson and Mr . J . Rontledge . Mr . Bowman and Mr . Eantledge both declined bang put in nomination , after which the three

      remainiBg individuals were separately put to the meeting , when Mr . James Ar thur was declared to be the person fixed npon as delegate ; after which the following resolution containing instructions to the delegate was unanimously passed : —At a large public meeting held cm . Monday August £ he 15 ; b in Rig-street , CaJdewgate , for the purpose of electing a delegate to attend the Conference of tbe working classes to be h « ld in Manchester on Tuesday , Aug . 16 th , it was unanimously resolved , that the said delegate be instructed to give a full and particular statement of the leal condition , feelings and wishes of the working classes in this dictriet , and to say , that they will act in perfect consonance with tbe decisions of the Conference , and that they have no nope of anv improvement taking place , in their wretched and degraded condition , until the people are put in possession of political power , by the * toption of the People ' s Charter . " A vote of thanks

      was then given to Mr . George Mounsey , mayor , for the courteous manner in which he bad received the deputation , which was carried unanimously , after which a vote of thanfcs was given to the Chairman and -the people peaceably dispersed . It may be proper to state , that Mr . Hanson wished to decline in favour of Mr . Arthur , bat if the other parties persisted he would most willingly stand . sreenock . —An important public meeting was held here on Friday week , in the open , air , to take into consideration the right of holding public meetings , and also to give an expression of opinion in the case of Mason aud the others who are suffering with him , Mr . James Boyd was called to the chair , and opened the business in a neat and spirited

      address . He impressed on the assembled multitude , which could not be less than from three thousand to Bix , to shew by their conduct thiB night , that they were worthy of the privilege they are assembled to maintain . Mr . James Black proposed the first resolution , which was to the following purport : — ** That this meeting view with feelings of indignation the canfcemptaWe conduct of the Staffordshire authorities and their emissaries , in their late attempt to stifle public opinion , by disturbing the people of Sedgley , when peaceably and constitutionally assembled for the purpose of discussing their grievances , and also in apprehending Mason and others when they were guilty of no crime , as they were only giving expression to their feelings on the

      manifold , grievances under which they now labour . " Mr . Peter Campbell briefly seconded it , and Mr . Joseph M'Lean supported it in a speech of considerable length . It was then carried unanimously . Mr . Robert Burrell brought forward the second resolution , That this-meeting is fully convinced that the inhabitants of this country have a right to meet and discuss their grievances , whether national or local , when , how , and where they please , so long as they do not disturb the public peace , or infringe on the rights of others ; and that the disturbiug or preventing of Euch meetings by any party or parties is unconstitutional , and ought to be resisted ; seeing tbit it is an undisputed fact that all government originated from , was degeigned to protect , and is supported by the whole people ; it therefore follows , that it ought to be under their controul . That the

      attempt to justify the conduct of the Staffordshire authorities by her Majesty ' y Ministers goes to prove that they are unworthy of the confidence of her Majesty , and we agree to memorialise her Majesty to dismiss them from office , and take into her Council men who will make the People ' s Charter a cabinet measure . " Mr . Thoma 3 Milne seconded the resolution ,-and Mr . Samuel Kidd , from Glasgow , supported it . Mr . M'Lean proposed that the part of the resolution " to memorialise her Majesty , ' be struck out , and the words that we are determined for ourselves , and would recommend it to the country to unite , seeing that it is only in ourselves that we can have any hope for a redress of our grievances , " be substituted . Mr . J . Johnson seconded the amendment , and it was carried unanimously ; after which the meeting broke up .

      MOTT 2 NGHAM . —On Sunday , Mr . Clark , of Stockport , lectured upon the Forest in the afternoon , and at Arnold in the evening . The people met upon the Forest at six in the evening , and sang Chartist hymss , and read the Star . Mk . Mead preached twice at likes ton to very large congregations ; and on Monday evening lectured in the Market Place of that town , apon labour ' s rights , labour ' s wrongs , and labour ' s remedy . WalWORTH . —A meeting of the Chartists ( who formerly assembled at the Ship and Blue Coat Boy ) was held at the Montpelier Tavern , Walworih , on Monday evening , the 15 th August . The members nobly responded to the call made upon them last week , and filled the room . The adjourned discus-Eion was postponed till next week , for the purpose of nominating a committee to take into consideration tbe present alarming state of affairs , and devise means to assist the struggle of labour against capital .

      MEXBRO . —Delegate Meeting . —On Friday last , a delegate meeting was held at Mexbro ' , to take into consideration the plan of forming a district , and to employ a lecturer . Delegates were present from Doncaster , Rotberham , Wath , and Swinton . Mr . William Gillinder was appointed Secretary . He was then instructed to send a notice to the Star , requesting tbe following places either to send delegates to the next meeting , which will be announced , or correspond by letter on the subject—namely , Sheffield , Barnsley , Rotherham , Doncaster , Watb , Swinton , aad Gainsbro ' . By union , the above-named places may form a powerful district , and through a lecturer can send the sound of Chartism to towns where , by the majority , it was only known to be reviled .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF LONDON . Mi Fbiends , —I doubt not you will expect some account of my stewardship ; without further introduction I ehall lay it before you . Left town on Monday morning , July 25 th ; lectured in the evening at Reading , to a good audience . A corn repeal gentleman , had spread the news of me being a very violent man . This kept some of our f air couutry-¦ women . who had previously made up their minds to honour me with their presence , safely stowed in their own domiciles .

      : I find a portion of tbe middle class of this borough , : have invited Mr . Lawrence Heywood , of Liverpool , to < stand candidate on the Six Point ground . Mr . Hey-; wood has accepted the invitation , backed by his friend ! Sturge . . ' The Editor of the Nonconformist is foaming like a I rnaA dog over the affair . The Chartists have received j an invitation to lend their aid , and the proposal is under their consideration . I donbt not Peel's scent keeps back tbe writ . ' On Wednesday reached Oxford ; found our friends had ; called an out-door meeting for that evening ; was well j received by Mr . P . Hurcomb , of Three Tuns-street , ' Ebbs , and all the sonB of liberty in this famed city for

      I the nourishing and suckling of parsons . The meeti . ing in the evening was well attended . Messrs . | Horcomb , Faulkner , and others addressed the meeting . Their remarks on the evils of cIl&s legislation were of : the first . order ; these gentlemen are indeed doing their ' ¦ doty , being middle class men , whole hog Chartists , and , guardians of the poor , Mr . Faulkner being chairman of : the Board . An eut-door meeting was called for the next '¦ night ; the people nobly responded . After my address : Mr . Towle , the representative of Oxford on the Corn Law Conference , was called on ; he stuck well to their old song of the Com laws being a question by itself , " and trfedhis best , indirectly , to show me up to the ! meeting as a paid Tory spy . This did not answer ; the ' : meeting was for the Charter .

      ; On Friday , Mr . Clark , a freeholder of "Witney , drove Messrs . Hurcomb ., Faulkner , and myself to Witney . ¦ ¦ Tfee bellman declined crying the meeting ; a young man i took his post We had , for this place , a grand meeting I on the Green ; out-and-ont speeches from our friends j of Oxford , assisted by Mr . Clewer , the temperauce lecturer ; the Charter was carried . The people gave ' proof of their determination to support its glorions i principles . Mr . Clark is a Cobetite of the first \ water . j On Saturday , left by coach to Cheltenham for \ Winchcombe ; found friends waiting at the coach' office . Left luggage ; started on tramp ; got to Winch-¦ ¦ combe at half-past eight in tbe evening ; meeting : waiting ; lectured in the open air . Next morn-• ing ( Sunday ) lectured in the open air at ' nine . At this place I had the pleasure of an interj view with John Sexty , a youth about nineteen years of j age , who wrote the poem you ' ve had the opportunity of 1 resdine in the two back Stars . - -

      Started back to Cheltenham . Lectured in the afierternoon and evening , in the open air , to good audiences . Left on Monday , August 1 st , for Gloucester . Lectured in the Theatre in the evening , the Rev . J . Davis in the chair . This meeting was not well attended . Our friend desired me to call a meeting ont-doors for the next evening . The Rev . J .

I again established a locality of our glorious Association . Enrolled nineteen members . The work was not done by cards being taken on the spot .

How completely is this splenetic , peevish , irascible , vindictive , and unforgiving old man put In the wrong here l : In order to gratify his own bad passions , and tbe malignant revenge which he feels for those who have struck the barb of truth through his hitherto-considered Invulnerable sides , and exposed the dark iniquities of his dealings with the pillaged and betrayed Irish peoplehe forgets the courtesy of a gentleman—he loses the

The mendicant knows we have been greatly instrumental in traversing his designs oh the pockets of the poor ; and hence his rabid hatred of our Association . But his reign , based on the ignorance and fatuity of a generous and unthinking nation ,

      draws to a close . The light of ttuth is faBt breaking in upon the minds of Irishmen , and they are already well prepared to transfer their devotion from a political adventurer who has plundered them to glut his family and creatures with the spoils of their confiding credulity , to those eternal princlplea of .

      TO THE KDITOB OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir . —Although personally unknown to yen , I feel not the slightest hesitation , where the great interests of Chartism require it in claiming a short Bpace in your columns , and as little doubt that you will willingly afford your powerful assistance , to your Irish brethren , fighting under many and almost overwhelming disadvantages , the great battle of liberty . Notwithstanding all that the true friends of the people have had to contend with here : the undisguised and bitter hostility ef all those that batten upon the roUeuness of tho present system , and who , of cons £ qae :. ce , hate the name and aims of Chartism ; the narrowminded prejudices artfully fostered by designing knaves in the minds of the lower classes , as they are termed .

      against every thing of English origin—and the jealousy of the Corn Exchange orators lest their dupes should at length open their eyes and button up thair pocketsnotwithstanding the covert insinuations and public denouncements to which we have been subjected by the licentious tongue of the arch-impostor himself , who beheld his craft in danger , and dreaded tbe diminution of the rint—nsaugre all these obstructions , and in the absence of either wealth , Influence , or great talent amongst us , perseverance alone baa procured us success to thiB amount—that we h&ve enrolled on our books at the present moment 1 , 000 men—that we have stripped Chartism of the hideous mask in whioh intelligent roguery and superstitious ignorance bad dressed

      itthat we have set men a-thinking and a-talking on the subject—that thousands in our city ; now declare they are ready to join our ranks , and impatiently await the moment when their capricious fogle-man hall have given the permissive signal—that we have silenced the second rate orators amongst tbe Repealers completely , and takes the squeak out of tbe " Liberator" himself . Added to which we forwarded the other day to Sh&nnan Crawferd , Esq ., a petition nearly the same as the national one , subscribed by at least 3 , 000 genuine signatures ! I much fear , however , that owing to Mr . Crawford's having left London on tbe day on which it arrived , that the petition cannot be presented till next session , when the signatures will of course be greatly augmented .

      At the suggestion of some in our Association who still entertain tbe lingering impressions of political childhood regarding the integrity of Mr . O'Connell , I forwarded to him the following , it-will be allowed at least , respectful letter : — Dublin , Vo . 26 . North King-street , July 30 , 1842 . Mt Lord , — The Association to which I have the honour of being secretary are of opinion that they wonld n » t be acting with the respect dne to your Lordship , as the most leading political character in Ireland , were we to omit enclosing your Lordship a copy of the petition emanating from their body , and intrusted for presentation to Mr- William Sharman Crawford .

      ¦ ¦ My Lord , the main prayer of that petition is for an extension of the electoral right to every man non- convict of felonious crime , who has attained the age of twenty-one years ; in other words , for what ( without being hypercritical ) may be justly , logically , and grammatically Btyled Universal Suffrage . We ate very well aware , my Lord , that tho regulations of the House of Commons do not now allow a discussion on the merits of petitions without a specific motion for the purpose ; but we also . know , my Lord ,

      that legal ingenuity , which no lawyer living , perhaps , possesses to an equal extent with your Lordship , can do much to evade the stringency of such rules and I am , therefore , to request , on behalf of the body for which I act , that should you approve of the contents of this petition , wbich is similar , though somewhat abated in tone to the English National Petition , which you supported , that you will render us all the assistance wbich your acknowledged ability and unqueBtion&ble adroitness can afford .

      My Lord , it would be presumptuous in me , It would be unjust to others , to suppose that of the host of officials and adherents by whom yen are surrounded ; who are supported by your influence , and on whom is reflected the second-hand lustre of yonr great popularity , cone have been found hardy enough to inform you of the important , and in my mind , glorious truth , that the people of Ireland are rapidly learning , and as rapidly adopting the political creed of the Chartists of England . .

      My Lord , our Association has now upon its books 1 , 000 members who have taken out cards , despite ail the opposition afforded by those whom I will in charity suppose misunderstood our objects , or doubted the legality of our organisation . It must be also within the knowledge of those by whom you are surrounded , if not within your own , that thousands are predisposed , nay , eager , to join our ranks , vrere they not held back by those motives of prudence wbich master principle in mercantile men , that dread of denunciation which restrains convinced but thnM politicians . .

      And yet , xny Lord , wb « n I find you on the last day you attended the Corn Exchange , declaring that yon knew of no other Association in Ireland than that there assembled , lam at ft Ioairt » reconcile the assertion with the knowledge of the political state and feeling of the country which yon should possess . With the truth and vigilance of those whose duty demanded of them to apprise you of the fact , that there is in Ireland a party who have determined that the name of freeman shall cease to be a distinctive appellation In these countries ; who have resolved to devote their best energies to effecting , ^ by strictly moral and legal means , the political emancipation of the slave popalaHon of ttis empire . - : ¦ \ ¦

      Yes , my Lord , calculating upon obstruction and prepared for delay , we are yet determined to wcrk In the spirit , not off fanaticism , but of enthusiastic perseve-

      FACTORY TYRANNY AND THE CORN juAW REPEALERS . TO THE BDIIOB OF , THB MOKTHEEN STAR . Sir , —As a specimen of the liberality and good intentions of the Cora Law Repealers towards the industrious and forbearing individuals under th « ir controul , I send you a copy of tbe rules stuck up for the edification of the cotton spinners employed In a mill or hell not a hundred miles from Bardaley , near thia town , and the 'worthless proprietors are of the Cobden school of liberals . Those rules ate adhered to with the most savage rigidity , and the persons to -whom they do not or cannot extend , whether male or female , aie TUited by these praiseworthy admirers of the big loaf with corporal punishment , in the event of the merest accident taking place , or their work not answering their hardhearted employers , who , a few years ago , were practical operatives themselves , and now look down with scorn on all who toil for bread .

      They employ ten spinners , and it is well known in thiB town and neighbourhood that since their entry into the trade , they have had more than twenty sets of spinners ; they are ever watching the poor slaves while at work , just like policemen watching thieves ; and one of the parties is ever present from the starting time in the morning until they are liberated at night ; and the factory law is shamefully violated every day . The following are the roles posted up in each room : 1 . The spinners in this mill shall be paid for spinning one thousand hanks of forty ' s two shillings and threepence , and for one thousand hanks of thirty-nine ' s , two shillings and twopence . 2 . If any spinner spins leas than twenty-one banks to the spindle , his price shall be two shillings and twopence , and if less than twenty hanks per spindle , one shilling and tenpence .

      3 . Every set of cops under fifty-six pounds weight sent in by any spinner , he shall be fined one shilling for each set . ¦ -.. ' . "' . 4 . Any spinner lashing his oops under , or for general bad spinuiug , shall nave nothing for that set or sets . 5 . Any spinner throwing away any thing , or if his pleoer should throw away any thing , shall be fined one shilling . 6 . Any part of the machinery broke while at work , to be paid for by the spinner . .

      REMARKS . The first rule may not admit of complaint , although the price is considerably lower than is paid on the same number of spindles for the same work at many other mills . But the second rule is so unbearable that scores of useful and steady workmen have left tbiB Strong hold of tyranny sooner than-submit to it , aa accidents or other causes ofcen prevent men from doing the length required , and yet no allowance is made for these daily casualties . The third rule has been put in force not a month ago , where the set was only one ounce above the fifty-six , pounds , and it is a physical impossibility which the employers well know , to make them always that weight , as the weather , the quality of the cotton , the speed of the propelling pawer and other unforeseen causes ; prevents , and a certain number of sets must be done or they undergo the penalty of the second rule . -

      Bat the fourth rale is decidedly the worst , and dearly shews th avaricious propensity of the monster of liberality in its true colours . The proprietors are tbe sole judges of this offence called" general bad spinning , " and it is very easy to find fault , as it rarely happens that two Bpinnera make a cop the same shape or in the tuna way ; and If they have only been ia their employ a single day the rules are enforced with all due rigour . Cops lashed under are not reckoned useless or rendered so , as they can be reeled ; and it is not always the spinner ' B fault ; it often happens that the guiding wire , i technically called a faller ) is out of order ; all men cannot adjust them , and if they could , few places permit them ; the overlooker must do it or the wheels stand .

      And how iniquitous is the fifth rule , to make man responsible for tbe faults or follies of another , who if he was to chastise or discbarge for this same throwing , he would , as . has been the case before , get bagged himself . And then the villainy of the sixth rule which makes a m&n pay for all broken machiney , as if it would last for ever , but this rule ha * ofcen been enforced by the liberal and virtuous firm referred to . Hoping you will allow the light of the Star to shine en the darknesss of these accursed" rattle boxes . " lam , &c A Persecuted Cotton Spinner . Ashton , August 7 , 1842 .
