      gfed to accept the hard-earned pence cf the destitu-e , and oppressed labouring people , but now that faction has bought thrm over , the reptiles are pouriDg forth their venomous language , with an intent to damn the character of noble-minded and patriotic men ; but thanks , eternal thanks , to the march of intelligence , we are now enabled to distinguish men that will act in accordance with troth to men that "will basely betray the sacred rights of man . We , therefore , are determined to sacrifice our very existence , if required , in the cause we esponse , namely , Chartism ; we are likewise dtfcermlaed to sacrifice that existence to defend O'Connor , M'Donall , and all the conscientious leading advocates of the people .

      their accredited servants , the members of tbe Executive Committee , and -we further consider that our Secretary has addtd insult to injustice by his explanatory letter in the Star of last we .- K ; and wo hereby tender our sincere thanks to the Rev . We Hill for bis praise-worthy conduct in unmasking such a bare-f ; iced robbery , and exonerate Mr . Morgan Williams from all blaiae in those transactions . " Mr . J . Saunders seconded the resolution , and said that however he might deplore the necessity of coming to such a resolution , yet as a Chartist he felt bound to take that course ; for how could they complain of the injustice of those over whom they had no control , if tfiey suffered their servants to misapply their funds ; it would make their enemies think that they were not capable of using the franchise , wers they to allow such practices . He had

      read Mr . Campbell's defence , atd thought it only pggravated the crime with which he stood charged , for he plainly stated that if the members were not satisfied with his vague explanation , that he could not give any other , and could not help it For those reasons he would cordially second the motion , ilr . Pjrfees s > upported the resolution . He said "when the subject was brought forward on a former evening , he opposed going into it then , feeling desirsus of hearing both aides . He had since read Mr . Campbell ' s letter , and aiso Mr . Bairstowa , and felt bound to support the motion . The Chairman then ,-isked if any person present had any remarks to make on the subject , and wailed for'a while , in order to giva time to any person ¦ who felt so disposed , but no one feeling inclined to come forward , he put the resolution , ¦ which was

      earned unanimously . Mr . White then addressed the meeting , and said that be had used the Lame of the Birmingham Chartists last week on what he considered a H 10 ht important occasion , and he should lay the case before them , to ascertain whether ^ jey would justify him in what he had done . The wife of the nobleminded and patriotic Ellis had passed through Birmingham on the previous Wednesday , to take her farewell of her husband , wb . 3 was then on board the transport ship , ab 6 ut to leave his native land . Mrs , Ellis having to stay a short while awaiting the departure of the coach , read several of his letters , the laat of which contained an earnest request for a litUe money , and aoiue books . There was no time to be lost ; and , after mentioning the subject to Messrs . Follows , Horsley , and Potts , and receiving their

      sanction , he wrote to Mr . Cleave , of London , requesting him to advance ten pounds to Mrs . Ellis , and some books . He had written this in their name , and it remained for them to approve of it or otherwise . He had since received a letter from Mr . Cleava , informing him that he complied with the rtquest . ( Loud cheers . ) He felt grateiui to Mr . Cleave for his promp ' . itude , and a ' . se for his noble exertions to raise funds for the defence of the Chartists who were being perseeutttU Mr . Blunders hig hly approved of tte CODOUCt Of Mr . White , and moved— " That his act be considered and adopted as that of the Chartists of Birmingham . " Mt , Paikes seconded tbe motion , and said that he was delighted to think that poor BUis would feel that he was not forgotten or neglected . Ha considered Mr . White ' s , conduct highly creditable . The Chairman put the motion which was passed unanimously . A gentleman present then moved— " That the thanks of

      this meeting be conveyed to Mr . John Cleave , of London , for his conduct on thia occasion , and for his general services to the cause of liberty . " Mr . G White seconded tht ; motion , which was ouanirnously agreed to . On the motion of Mr . Saunders ., a resolution vras paBsed , recommending the Gener . il Council resident in Birminghom , to get up a public meeting for the benefit ef the Defence Fund .

      LEICESTER . —The " Shaksperean Brigade , ' as mi « ht aatui-ally be supposed , suffered some degree of di . ^ P'irsion during the brief incarceration of i ts General . Things-. ire besinmng , however , now to resume something iike the flourishing sppeu'auce of old . times . TM Amphitheatre ( the most epac ' . ous building in a theatrical form out of London ) has been engaged . for the winter at a weekly rent of £ 5 . The expense of gas , handbills , &c , wiil increase tho TPtekly expenditure , at least £ 2 . Mr . Cooper was told by a Whi ' gl-ug , that he had a " largo kuinc-y , " when it was knowli that he had veu'tured un this speculation . The result of I ,-, 8 t Sunday and Monday ' s experimeots , however , hAn proved that the enterpr . Zi was not so wi ' . d as ha . l been cuiiceived . Mr . Cooper delivered two sermons on Sunday ,-the subjects

      being"The dignity of human nature , end the meanness of avarice ; " and '' The horrors of war , and the wickedness of corq'ie 3 t ; " and , on Monday eveniug , Mr . C . lectured oa " The life and poetry of Milton , " and reciteil several passages from the maj > » ttio " Paradise Lost . " The receipts ,, from th « audience attending these three discouiges ( tbo admission to the pit and gallery being only one half-penny , and to the boxes , two-pence ) actually ampunttd to nine guineas ' .. This is , surely some proof that Chartism is neituei- dead nor dying in oUI Leicester . Nay more , one pound waa also collected at tbe doora , on Sunday evening , to be forwardad to Mr . Jjhn CU ' . ive , towards making up the £ 10 furniBhed to tbe suffering wife , of the exited William E 11 s . A vote of thanks was passed amidst great evidence of patriotic

      sympathy by the immense audience to the incorruptible George White of Birmingham for his truly Chartiat feeling , in desiring Mr . C ; eavo to make the remittance : and also to Mr . Cleave for his noble promptitude in instantaneously paying over the £ 10 to psor Mrs . Ellia . Sections of the Suafcsperian Association , for the cultivation of finginj :, study of the drama , &e ., assemble at different periods o £ tbe week . A play of Shakspeare is being got up , aud Mr . Cooper has announced hia intention of appearing oa the boardi in the character of " Hiimlet . " It is resolved thac no mode bf refnderiug Chartism popular in Leicester shall be leftuutried . '; Our " Gfaneral" aims to fortify the central town in England in such a manner as to render it an impregnable gamsou of Chartism , during his second incarceration at Stafford , which it is feared will commence next March .

      HAWICK . ~ PUMI . IC SilEETlNG . —A public meeting waa held in the Cbartist Ball / on Tuesday last ,, accord * Ing to adjournment , Mr . Charles Hunter in tho chair , when tUe following Memorial , &c . was ageed to : —¦ " May it tlease the Quken , —In approaching tbe throue for mevcy , we do not sauctton violence , we palliate do criminality , we justify np tumultuouB riot and disorder ; but the sad fate of unfortunates , souumtrou ^ , appealing to our sympathy , we commisserata their pitiable case , and urge our suit for Royal clemency . . If the prayer of our petition bo unusual , the occasion ia unprecedented ; ita impression is co-extensive witli , its influence prevades the whole community . Hundreds of our ftfllow-subjecta are doomed to the various grades of punishment , only short of death itself , scarce any of whomever previously incurred criminal guilt , or wore even avrsre of any violation of law Iu the conduct for which they are so severely sentenced .

      To the Sovereign , the arbitress of the national rights , liberties , and happiness , we aver the originating cause of the calamities , we deeply regret , was less of pers jnal depravity than suffering and wrong . That cause we bitterly feel and too intimately know is fearfully general and portentous in its aspect . Manual industry has been long , reduced to the most abject position—unwilling idleness , partial employment , protracted and wasting toils , with remuneration it adequate to supply the demands of physical , exhaustion .- The exemplary patience of the people under thieir known privations , received the plflUditS of both Premier and

      Parliament during the recent session . That patience has been overdrawn , weaned , borne down , beyond en * durance . With accumulating destitution , wretchedness , and misery to the millions , ths monopolists of land and capital have competed in thriving prosperity . Vast masses of ihe labouring classes witness the bounties of a munificient providence extended in rich profusion over bill and vale , but are debarred from partaking : they . behold wealth and luxury , and ease and splendourand perish with hunger . Thess unnatural , inhuman distortions , tUber reduce to drivelliDg despondency , or they goad to frantic desperation . , u

      ' A mere immediate cause of the . recent lamentable disasters , we twee to be a reduction of wages , to induce a voluntary cessation of llibour—a project approved , at leait , by some of the employers , as a means to effect an extension of commercial relations , by a repeal of prohibitory duties . The proceeding thus stamped with a political character , the advocates of another proposed legislative measnre , connected theroaelvea with it , which if legitimate or criminal in the one cane , we cannot hide from ourselves the conviction it was equally so in the other ; and although in the progress of events the Chartuts became involved , they did not originate them , aud as accessories after the fact , justice would not visit them with the heaviest penalties , while thesa wera permitted to tscape with impunity . Loosing sight of these impressive and extenuating facts , infatuated prejudice , and ' strong political bias , rather than imp .-S'tiai justice , and lenient administration of the lawsf seem to have actuated manufacturers , magistrates , juries , council , and judges in

      common . Excesses and violence , as cause and effect , were essentially the re-sult of a cessation frqm labour ; and tb . 3 introduction of Chartism would retard and repress , rather than accelerate or txtend them ; yet no sooner did the urifottunata junction occur , than the spy and police sjattm-s were let loose to betray and entrap ihcfe unhappy victim ? . Chartism has been illegally , as disqualification t > f bail , iJeiiouncfcd '; from the judgment s-.-at as tantamount to grave and serious crime , while , in reality , it seeks ony legiihtive protection for labour , as other interests , by possession of the elective franchise . -Martyr /* may be multiplied for their devotedness to truth anaVijuity , but their principles are indestructibk—immutable as the throne of the Eternal—their guardian is Omnipotence . In the first , of the fairest of God ' a creation , what attribute so Godlike as that of mercy ]

      Our Sovereign—We plead destitution and misguided judgment on the part of the offenders , unnecessary alarm and miscor . atruc ^ ion in the judicial authorities , d = ep heartfelt interest iby the people—the sorrow , the gloom , the anguish , the horror of domestic disruptions —tuisceptible of tUe tender ietaUona v > t Vi ife-and mother , with natural regards for the' oppressed , suffering , Imploring subjects " of Britain ' s Empire—may it please the Queen , to investigate the cases—remit and mitigate the pur . is . bmenta of the unhappy prisoners convicted and Bentenced for participating in the late disturbances in the manufacturing and mining districts , it was resolved , -That tbe memorial be signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting , and sent to Sir Ju . Graham for presentatioa . " t " That the thanks of this meeting are due , and are hereby given to Mr . Roberts , of Bath , for the able and talented manner in which he conducted the defence of the victim * at Stafford . " .

      " That this meeting cannot permit this opportunity to pass , without retarding their sincere thanks to Fear ^ us O'Connor , E » qi , for the manifold services and sacrifices done and suffered by him in the causa of the people ; and particularly for his exertions in behalf of those , who along with himself are suffering persecution at tbe bands of tbe factions , for tbeir adherence to the cause of joi-tice—the People's Charter .

      mere fraction of tho community—the mhst useless drsnes of society . Mr .

      LORD ABINGEli AND HIS VICTIMS . TO THE EDIT 0 K OF THE KORTIIEU . V STAR . Sir , —If the once bold , justice-maintaining people of Great Britain have not utterly lost that spirit of manly independence for which they wt-re renowned ; if they are not disposed to cringe and fawn on those who are base enough to add tLe grossest'Insult to-the wrongs they have lo » t' eiidnr .. 'ii . tlieu wiil my Lor < l Abinger ' s savage War whocp ind <^ ed rouse them to a . sense of duty . The people will revolt from the atrocities attempted to be practised in the name of law with as much horror as they would from tho fangs ol the most venomous serpeut . They will nut , with object patience , endure that such things as our " moutrn Jufferya" should " Aci the veiy dtvil they ofcsy . "

      The national voice must so express itself as to convince the ¦¦" powers that he , " that such un eno : mous offender against the very decencies , not to say moralities , of society as Lord Abinger ia cot invulnerable to a popular demand for justice . " All classes and conditions of men "—howtver difF ^ rin ^ ' iu Uieir political opinions—should now seek frcm tbe throne the immediate removal of Abinger from the judgment-seat , which all reasoning m 6 n admit him to h ive disgraced . If this " modern Jeffrey '' be not removed , who can take upon himself to Buy tbat it will not go far to reproduce the seeds of popular grievance , which ultimately may ripen into popular indignation , such as cost a Charles his life , and a James his crown ?

      L" ' i then , tbe people of every town throughout the empire immediately assemble , and adopt . ' some * such address to the legislature as tbat recently decided upon by the great Metropolitan Meeting at the Crown and Anchor .
