      „ £ THE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND GEKBR ALL" * , AND TO THOSE OP GLASGOW ESPECIALLY . j $ s P eab Pbiecds , —I flunk yon wiD agree with flsat the saccess of onr eause mainly depends jjnja the character and conduct of the leaders . I S ^ e discovered amongst Scotchmen a great jealonsy « nd a proper jealousy , upon these points . In fact , 1 have known a well-conducted operative to shed jesjs at ihe recital of immoral acts committed by wgers from a consciousness that those acts wonld jedound to ihs general disgrace of the party . I am ySjx enongh to l « lieve that , in this respect , I hare jjgjd yonr cause ; and that I am equally jealous i s jourselTBS TipontDia vital point .

      I am cow about to defend myself against a charge of ftkehood brought against me by Mi . Acland , at eOf jpnr recent meetings . I take the following gjjiset from the Evening Star newspaper as the jjjjjge . It runs thus : — » Thstmadel of cant , dissimulation , and falsehood , ijjjja , has been lecturing here for the last eight g ~ n We " west into the Ball jlrades ^ last night as jhgieaioTr " ws about flnidong foi the night .

He denied this flatly , ana u " e-^ estsi Mr . O'C as a man whose word was not worthy d ^ sisSi * - " We challenged the fellow -to discussion .

He has written some letters to jjgjragpers denying that he nsed those words wilch 1 charged Mm as having used at Halifax , ijjjose pspeis did not publish any answer from me , job mij rest assured ; and to you no confirmation © f jnj word was necessary . BntBOW j&shelias ventnred to repeat the contra-< gc £ on before a public meeting , my turn has come . 51 i 5 i « my answer . I had never laid sjy eyes npon Mr , James Acland till I saw him at Halifax , upon

      ga night of our discussion—if his annihilation dejsjtBs the same . I was not likely to speak to jjim . Had I met him npon the following day , I ^ ioni 4 not have spoken to him . To meet him as the Jared propounder of false doctrines , for the _ pnrpsseof exposing him , is one thing ; to mset him as sascgoamtance would be another thing . I did not « esk to Mr . Acland then . Did he come over and gnat to me ! Let the Chairman , Mr . Jackson , and jifisneetiBg answer that ; aid if he did speak to jBe , wiat did he say I for he has not yet told me . DidbepnihishsBdtohb mouth , and his mouth to

      TSjwl Let the Chairman and the meeting say . "What had he to say to a perfect stranger ! Now , jaj asernon i 3 this : —Mr . Acland said to me prec « 3 j 33 I hare stated in the Northern Star * and told me that is was ° the intention of tbe League jo sio ? tttk kills /* The moment he sat down , I aHiiioned it to Mr . Bsshtoo , and I also repeated it in the following terms to the Her . Mr . Jackson , xsi about a dozsn working men , who accompasied 3 B 6 to my hotel after ihe meeting . ** Well , I think Aclaud let the cat out of the bag to-night , when he told me that the masters intended stopping all the

      snQs . Kow the fellow told me that in the hope of insuring my acgtriesence in a project which -of all others I most dread . " : Now , ^ hen , to that recital there are many witnesses . What , then , did Acland say to me ! Tor thai mus . be the question . What hid he to 3 ay to a perfect stranger of whom he had written and spoken Tery disrespectly ? Bat he iuriher asserts , " thai npon the same evening be challenged me to further discussion . " Is ever : it is false . Bat , beyond the direct contradiction , hear By circumstantial denial of the assertion . Trie discussion was to have been between Mr . Acland and

      Mr . Jackson . 1 travelled more man jony nuiea , and iSdressed three pnblic meetings , and travelled thB h ^ twelTeDveramouniainou 3 conntry in a gig , in iSj-Sve minnie 3 , in raw , to be on the jpot . Therefore I "was amoou 3 to meet AchiuL I had been informed that the meeting was iied for the previous evening , and , uninvited , went infli Mr . Hobson to Halifax , for the express jurpose of surprising Mr . Acland and the League Jhstfore I was not afraid of meeting Mr . Acland . If he challenged me to further discussion , it must lire bees after ths proceedings of that evening had

      tenmnated ; anS was ihe xesnlt likely to intimidate jnjfrom another trial I What was the result ? An JBHwimeni to his resolution , after three houre discssicm conducted in the most creditatable manner , « nied nnanimouslyj in a meeting of near 2000 pencBB , and his own party well whipped in ! Could I then dread further discussion I I had measHred Tbt opponent and found him a mere plaything in my lanes . 1 Ebowed that the great connty-gun of tbe League was a mere bottle of froth ; and I made him assert that he wa 3 as good a Chartist as myself , sndthatif he thought he could obtain it , he would prefer the Charter to a repeal of the Corn IiW 3 .

      Let us hare a verdict of public opinion delivered in open court by a jury too large to be packed and too Tirtuoos to be bribed . I shall be at Manchester on Monday night next ; at Ebchdale on Tuesday ; at Oldham on Wednesday ; at Ashton on Thursday ; at Bradford on Friday ; and at Huddersfield on Saturday . I . thus publicly apprise friend and foe of my coming , so that they may have ample time to master their forces , to crush me if they can . I make this

      tour to redeem my pledge to those places , where great exertions were made to send delegates to the Conference , and which I promised to requite by all means in my power . Thus my friends have I embraced the earliest opportunity to relieve you from the pain which the uncontradicted charge of falsehood against ae would cause . Mr . Acland used the very words stated at the time in the Northern Star . He never challenged me to furthur discussion . I now throw down the gauntlet , who will dare to take it up on behalf of the League ? I ara , my friends , Your trae and faithful friend , Peabgus O'Connor .

      ( From out ojwj Correspondent . ) The all-absorbing topic of the moment is the stoppage of the Sheffield Old Bauk of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co . This important intelligence was made known on Saturday last , through the medium of the following notice posted on the door of the

      bank : — " It is with the deepest regret that Messrs . Parker Shore , and Co ., announce to their mnch-valned con-, nection and the public , thai , owing to the long-continned commercial depression , and the heavy losses which their banking-house has sustained in preceding years , they are under the necessity of suspending payment ; and they have also to announce to the creditors of the house , that immediate steps will be taken to bring their affairs to a close . Sheffield Bank , January ; 14 th , 1843 . " The above intelligence was not generally known until Mondy , when , asmay be supposed , not a little excitement was the consequence . Soon after ten o ' clock on Monday morning , the door of the bank was opened fat a short time , and an act of bankruptcy was committed by refusing the payment of the notes .

      In the course of the forenoon , placards , of which the following is a copy were posted in the town : — " In consequence of the lamented suspension of payments by Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., it has been thought advisable by a number of the principal merchants and inhabitants of Sheffield , that a public meeting should be convened to express their unabated confidence in the stability of the other banks of this town ; I accordingly hereby convene a meeting of the merchants , manufacturers , and inhabitants of Sheffield , to be held at the Cutlers Hall , at three o ' clock in the afternoon of this day , ( Monday ) when the company of as many as can attend is earnestly desired . " WrLLUM Bboadhursi , Master Cutler . " - " Sheffield , Jan . 16 , 1843 . "

      Shortly after three o clock the large room was crowded principally with the middle class ; a few working men were present who having nothing more profitable to do , came , seemingly , to see the long faces and hear the dolorous compliments of their ** respectable" friends . On the motion of Mr . Page , seconded by Mr . Pierson , the blaster Cutler was nnft ^ imnnOj called to the chair . James Montgomery , E-q . moved , seconded by Samuel Hatfield , Esq . the following resolution , which was supported by T . Dunn , Esq ., and carried unanimously . " That this meeting deeply regrets the circum * stances which havo compelled the Sheffield Old Bank , of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., to suspend ¦ nav menl /'

      Williaai Fisher , Esq ., moved—seconded by Alfred Sofby , Esq ., ihe second resolution , which wa 3 also carried unanimously"That in order to obviate any aggravation of the great calamity , by unneasary distrust , we , the undersigned , hereby express onr entire and anabated confidence in all the Banks at present existing in Sheffield , viz : —The Sheffield and Rotherham Banking Company ; Messrs . Bjmington and Younge's Bank the Sheffield Banking Company , the Yorkshire District Bank , thb Sheffield and Hallamshire Banking Company , and the Sheffield and Retford Banking Company ; and we pledge ourselves to take their notes as usual . " -On the motion of Joseph Levick , Esq ., seconded by Robert Sorbv , E ^ q ., the thanks of the meeting were veted to the Master Curler , for his promptitude in calling the meeting , and his conduct in the chairr

      The Master Cutler acknowledged the compliment , and most of tbe commercial chiefs present having affixed their signatures to the second resolution the meeting broke up . In the evening window bills were left at the principal shopd of the town on whicb it was intimated that the notes of the above-named banks would be taken wherever the bills were exhibited . On Tuesday morning large placards were extensively posted , giving the resolution of confidence in the existing banks , adopted at the meeting on the previous day , with the names of the principal merchants and manufacturers of Sheffield attached .

      Tnesdsy being market day , there was a 3 usual a large ieHux of country people , augmented , on this occasion , by the intelligence of the stoppage of the Old Bank ; many were tbe grievous tales told , and maiY who had come to Sheffield hoping to find rumGnr false , as she usually is , found their hopes blasted and their fears realised—it would be with heavy hearts they left Sheffield that evening . The tales of losses , or anticipated losses , which if they prove to be so , will inflict a vast amount of ruin and suffering on the town , are , as may bo suppesed , rife on all sides . We are informed that the greater part of the unions , sick clubs , and other societies in the town had their funds lodged in the hands of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co . ; of eonrse great is the anxiety felt among those bodie 3 .

      Th » third edition of tne Iris stated that arrangements were in progress for immediately re-opening the bank ; but the Independent i 9 nearer the mark in stating " that the affairs of the bank will be wound up under a fiat in bankruptcy , " adding what a great many will ferreDtly pray may prove true , " that it- is confidently expected that the assets of the baDk , aided by the property of the -partners , will prove more than adequate to the payment of aU demands . " Notwithstanding the promptitude of the Master

      Cutler , and tbe confidence resolutions of the respectables , { which no doubt has done something to prevent panic , ) credit is so far shaken { and no wonder , for of all banks in the town , the Old Bank had , up to last Saturday , by far the greatest share of public confidence , ) that to onr knowledge Dot a few of the shop-ieeping community have determined to refuse , and are refusing , all notes except Bank of England . A few -days will test the boasted " stability of more than one suspected establishment , enongh for the present , that there is anything bnt that confidence so much vaunted of .

      The Militat . —Impobta ^ t Cask . —At the Rochdale petty sessions , on Priday last , a case , which excited some interest , was brought before Messrs . Royds and Keball . It appeared that four private soldiers of the 60 th Rifles , stationed at Rochdale , had , on the previons evening , apprehended a man named John Simpson , IWing at Rochdale , and locked him up in the prison without the supenntendant of police being acquainted with ths circumstances . It appeared from the evidence , that one of the soldiers got drunk in the town , and was knocked down by some person unknown . Having been informed that Simpson was the individual wbostrnck him , be / accompanied by three other soldiers , proeeedtd to Simpson ' s house , and the four drew their swords and threatened that if Simpson did not go with them to the lock-np they would stab him , or « . « mIim- T > erson Trho might attempt to rescue him .

      Simpson was obliged to go with them , and was brought up on Friday , when the above was stated . Mr . Huntf solicitor , defended Simpson , and it was proved he was not the peraon whohad struck the Sldier . Mr . Boyds immediately discharged defendant , * nd the soldiers were « Terely repnmaiided for tneir ash proceedings . —[ Was that all !

      HOTa * . —Some little excitement has been produced within these two or three wseks by the refusal of Mr . Padgett , the late treasurer and agent of the Association , for newspapers , publications , and beverage , to produce and make up his books , or to give to the Council any account of the monies which have gone through his hands during the past year . This , as he and tbe Council should have gone out of office at the end of December ^ was absolutely necessary . Every effort however was made , but all of them unsuccessful , to induce him so to do . He positively refused to bring tbe books to the Council at all for inspection , or to make out any balance , so as to enable them to bring the accounts of the Association before the members for final auditing .

      After repeated applications , which were met only with insult , the Council determined to bring the matter before the members . Accordingly a members' meeting was determined on for last Monday evening , to take the whole matter into consideration . But the Council having learned in the meantime that Mr . Padgett would , on that evening , be engaged at a dinner to be given by tbe Sturgeite Corn Law Repealers , to him and Mr . Webster for their services at the late Conference , the resolution wasrescinded , and the meeting fixed for Tuesday , to give Mr . Padgett an opportunity to attend . He did attend . Mr , Arr&n was calle * to the chair , and a very long and patient investigation of the whole matter was gone intoample latitude was given to Mr . Padgett to say

      whatevtr he pleased in reply to every speaker , Bave the closing reply of the mover of a resolution , which was adopted . He was supported by one or two persons in most irregular ana factious style ; and , after more than two hours' conversational discussion , a resolution was almost unanimously adopted , affirming that " In the opinion of this meeting , the conduct of Mr . Padgett , the late Treasurer , in refusing to make up his books , or give an account of the . monies that have passed through his hands , that the Councillors may retire from ofiice , is at variance with every principle of Chartism and honesty , and disentitles him to the confidence of this Association . " An amendment was moved , " That a Committee be

      appointed to see to the matter . " About eight persons voted for the amendment , and about forty for the resolution . Mr . Padget very coolly assured the meeting that they might pass whatever resolutions they pleased ; it would make no difference at all to him , and walked away .: A council meeting was ordered for the next evening ; the secretarv was directed to send a written note to Mr . Padgett , requesting his attendance at the meeting for the purpose of £ L ally closing the accounts . Mr . Padgett sent a verbal answer to the Council , that he considered the business done with by last night ' B vote , and that he had other business to attend to . On this ssatemant being made to the Council , the following resolution was unanimously adopted : —

      "That this Council , having repeatedly , within the last three weeks , requested Mr . Padgett , the late treasurer , to produce his books that the accounts of the Council may be nude up and audited previous to their retirement from ofiice , and that person having constantly refused to do so , or to make out any account of the monies which have gone through his hands for the last year ; having specially requested Mr . Padgett . to attend this meeting for . the purpose of having the accounts finally made up , and that person having refused , the members of this council are reluctantly compelled to declare Mr . Padgett utterly unworthy of trust or confidence ; aad this council will not hereafter act or consult with Mr . Padgett on any matter or thing which may concern tbe Chartist movement ; and this council request that nono of their Chartist

      brethren will hereafter pay money into Mr . Padgett ' s hands . " There was not upon this resolution one dissentient . Every member present , whether of the new or old council , as well as some members of the Association , who were not councillors , knowing all the circumstances , heartily concurred in it . It was then resolved unanimously : " That this Council do now dissolve , and that the new Council enter upon their duties forthwith . " Arrangements were then made for procuring new books in place of those fraudently withheld by Mr . Padgett , and for preventing , as far as may be , that person from further appropriating the monies of the Association . Various mart era of local business -rrero then gone into with an excellent spirit of unanimous good feeling . Among ihe rest , Mr . Hill was requested , by resolution , to deliver a lecture to the Chartist of Hull , on Monday evoning , to which he assented .

      * ?? ON . —A , Public Meeting , numerously attended , was heM on Tuesday evening , at the Sooial Hall , WmJephapel , to hear the report of the Delegates ^ sent ? from the Tower Hamlets to the Birmingham Conference . Mr . Drake was called to the chair , and after briefly opening the meeting and slating ita objects , called upon Mri M'Grath to deliver his report . Mr . M'Grath commenced by stating that they were assembled in accordance with the Democratic ; principle they were struggling to establish , that those to whom power ' was entrusted should be responsible for its exeioi'e , and should render an accouut of their stewardship . That salutary controu'l rested in the hands of the people wonld be almost in itself sufficient to make a rogue

      an honest manJ Ttve public press haying placed before the country the business transacted at the Conference , he should confine himself to the question of what good that assembly bad done ; the prospective good which they had in view in assembling at Birmingham , was the probability , of a union being effected with the middle daises , but , notwithstanding the Chartist Delegates had promoted this object with all their hearta . it had signally failed install good had been effected '; several alterations had been made in the document called the People ' s Charter which in his opinion , were improvements , but the grand good in his opiojon was the great demonstration in the very heart o € England in favour of the People ' s

      ChaxUr : ^*^" 'Delegates were there assembled from the hills and valleys of Scotland and Wales , and from the green fields of England , asserting that they would join in no agitation which did not go to inscribe the People ' s Char ter on the Statute Book of the land . ( Cheers . ) He was glad to see a member of tho Council of the Complete Suffrage union upon the platform ; He accused that body of injustice towards the delegates assembled at the Conference . They had no authority to foist a bi } l of their own upon the attention of the Conference ; it bad met expressly to prepare a bill and not to discuss one proposed by the Council . He was anxious to have voted for the motion to have the

      two bills laid upon the table , aud to show to the world that if auy improvements could , be made in the Charter , they were willing to adopt them ; but the Complete Suffrage Party would not agree to that ; they were determined to have their Bill , their whole Bill , and nothing but their Bill— ( hear)—and because tho Conference would not agree to this they had the extreme insolence aud audacity to go to another room , vote themselves the Conference , and proceed with their owri Bill . In his opinion the test of sincerity was consistency , and when he saw the Sturge party pretending to democracy ,. and acting in such an undemocratic manner , it proved to him that their professions were insincere , and that the time was not yet arrived when the middle olass would

      cordially co-operate with them . Mr . M'Grath then in an eloquent strain shewed the manner in which the working men had ever been made the tools in the hands of the middle and upper classes ; he adverted to the speeohes of Dr . Ritchie and Mr . Miall at tht ! Conference , and denied that the middle classes had ever rescued the principles of the Charter from odium or disgrace . One of the main objections made against it at tho Conference was , that they were physical force O'Connorite Chartists ; he rerepelled their charge of physical force ; if by being an O'Connorite phartist they meant one who was a Chartist because O'Connor was , he denied the statement . He was a Chartist from principle , from firm conviction ; ho was a Chartist

      because he bore the mark of tyranny on his brow ; because he thought injustice to man was an insult to God . But if to admire O'Connor was to be an O'Connorite Chartist , then he was one . If he compared the efforts o _ f O'Connor with those of any man of his day , or with those of Home Tooke , Cartwright , or those patriots who had preceded him , he must give to O'Connor the honour of pre-eminence in the advocacy of the People ' s rights . When was there a victim in distress wanting bail , that O'Connor did nob support and relieve him ! So long as gratitude was a distinctive feature in the Brituh character ; so long as O'Connor continued in the same course as he did at present ; so long would he bave the support , gratitude , and affection of the

      people . Mr . M'Grath then entered into the question of free trade , and having completely exposed the fallacy of its lerding doctrines , sat down loudly cheered . Mr . Robaon briefly supported the views advanced by his brother delegates , and should be happy to answer any questions which might be put to him . Mr . Wilaou should not occupy their time an ; further than to correct a wrong statement in the minutes of the Conference . In section the 5 . h of penalties , it stated that Mr . Wilson moved an amendment that the penalty should be six months imprisonment and deprivation of electoral rights for three years , this was incorrect ; he moved the punishment of six months , and entirely objected to the three years' disfranchisement . He took

      that opportunity publicly to correct the mlstatement , Mr . Robson made an apology for the absence of the other delegate , Dr . Wade . The Chairman then enquired if any parties had any observation to make . Mr . Neesom said , that seeiDg by the placards it was a public meeting of the inhabitants aud not a meeting of any class , he should state his opinion upon the subject before them . At tbe election of delegates he had allowed himself to . be put in nomination merely to gain a hearing , knowing from past experience that it was not always to be obtained . An observation had been made that a member of the Council of the Complete Suffraga Union was in the room . He acknowledged being " tho person alluded to . He had

      stated at the election that it was a matter of perfect indifference to him whether they elected him or not , as he could attend as a member of the Council , and speak upon any subject , though he should bo deprived , and that very justly , too , of a vote . He should have been a most consummate blockhead , if he had expected to have been elected after the treatment he had received on various occasions . Mr . Neesom then stated that if he had been at the Conference , he should have acted in a similar manner to their delegates ; that he considered the Charter entitled to equality , if not to precedence . He had no hopes that union could be effected between the middle aid working classes . As a whole , they were both too ignorant to be in a condition to unite for

      any common good , but he had expected that a uuion might have been effected between the honest and intelligent portions of both classes . He disapproved of the conduct of the Council of the Suffrage Onion , and should retire from that body —( cheers ) . He did not say that to gain their applause , for he would as soon have their displeasure . He should also withdraw from being a member of the Suffrage Association , if they in any way acted inconsistent with the principles they professed . Mr . Frazer moved the following resolution , ' * That this meeting having heard the report of their delegates to the late Birmingham Conference , highly approve of their straightforward , manly , and independent conduct , and hereby tender them , as a

      commensurate reward , this their public mark of confidence and approbation . " Mr . Benbow seconded the resolution , which was earned uuanimously . Mr . Neesom moved the resolution embodying a portion of that passed at the Birmingham Conference , and concluding with entreating the Chartists to abstain from wantonly interrupting public meetings called by any section of Reformers , and in a long address endeavoured to show the impolicy of opposing the Corn Law Repeal meetings , disclaiming at the same time that he was receiving any portion of the League £ 50 , 000 . Mr . Hooper brisfly seconded the

      resolution . Mr . Robson moved , as an amendment , the resolution passed by the Conference . Mr . Mantz , in a speech of' considerable length , seconded the amendment . Mr . Edwards supported the motion , and charged the Chartists with violently iuterrupting public meetings —( cries of " Name , name , ")—at the City-road , during the discussion between Watkins and Watson . Mr . Wheeler replied to the charges of Mr . Edwards . Mr . Boggis supported the amendment . Tne Chairman then put the motion and the amendment , when the latter was carried with two dissentients . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting separated .

      Floba Tavebn , York-place , Barnsbur ? Pabk . —Mr . Knight lectured heie on Sunday evening ; subject , " What is the secret enemy which destroys us , " and showed to the satibfaction of his audience that pride and prejudice were the principal causes of the disunion and weakness existing in the people ' s ranks ; when united ; the people were all-powerful , but when divided they were weak and powerless to effect any great object . The room was crowded to excess , and & vote of thanks -was unanimously given to Mr . Knight for his services .

      Cxebkeswell . —The Chartists of Clerkenwell held their usual weekly meeting at the Patriot Coffee Honse , on Monday eveniDg last . Mr . Fuzzen in the chair . After the transaction of business of minor importance , on the motion of Mr . Wheeler , it was resolved that the locality elect a delegate to the Metropolitan delegate council . Mr . Sharp was accordingly elected as a delegate . Some observations were then made by a member on the propriety of considering Mr . Cooper ' s plan of organization . The chairman read the plan to the meeting , when it was determined that it should be brought before the members next meeting night , for their approval or dissent . The subject of the new City Hall was brought before the meetiasr , and , after some discussion Mr . Coleman was appointed as agent for this locality

      TO THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . My FaiEND 3—I earnestly direct j our attention to the fact , that the " Political Victim Defence and Family Support Fund" has been almost entirely overlooked during the past month or six weeksyour attention , during that period , having ( naturally enough ) been absorbed by the proceedings connected with the receDt Conference . Now , however , that the business of that Conference has been transacted , you will not be angry when assured that you will prove yourselves as base slaves and cowards as ever disgraced manhood , if you further delay a duty , which , it must be candidly admitted , has been a great deal too much neglected .

      Tne recent Conference honoured me by their unanimous appointment as the Treasurer of this too necessary , and I repeat , equally unfortunately , too greatly neglected fund . Now , it ( rests with youthe people—to determine whether this appointment sha 1 be something more than a mere pretence—a bitter mockery to our perstcuted friends , and an insult to myself personally ; for in no other light conla I view the appointing me to , an offiee to which no duties are attached . Make me really and truly your treasurer , and I will honestly fulfil my trust ; but I will not be a treasurer in name only .

      As an evidence of my desire to aid you in creating a fund equal to the necessities of the occasion , I now beg to submit a proposal to you . ' As the proprietor of the English Chartist Circular \ I have accumulated an immense stock of back numbers of that publication ; that is , I have sunk " a pretty considerable " sum , —as Brother Jonathan would say—in printing more copies of each number of the \ Circular than the people thought proper to purchase . ; Possibly , in the course of time , this " back stock" of mine might be lessened by its subsequent sale for perfecting sets and volumes of the Circular . But be that as it may , I think it better to devote it to ah immediate good

      purpose . Well , then , I propose to place this " back stock" of my Circular at your disposal . This offer , however , is a conditional oue , namely , that you sell as well as purchase the Circular , and apply the proceeds to the Defence Fund ! This can be easily effected . For instance , a Local j Council of the National Charter Association , forward to me ten shillings and four-pence ; in return , I will Bend them tour hundred copies of the Circular . Having disposed of these , they will have returned their tea shillings and four-pence , ( which I shall have placed to the Defence Fund , ) together with a profit for their own local association J i

      Say , is not this a plan in which even the very " poorest of the poor" can co-operate ? Recollect , too , that it will enabld you to fffect three good objects at one and tbe same time , namely , the creation of a defence fund—the diffusion of your principles , as advocated in the Circular—and the augmentation of your local funds , j I now leave this matter in yourj hands , with the hope that you will decide quickly Upon it . At any rate , whether you < wcept or decline my offer , one thing is quite certain—we must ncyv have a proper defeuce fund . We can count but a few weeks between the month of March , when our persecuted friends must take their trial—defended , if you supply them with the means of defence : without defence , if you are base enough to leave them to the " tender mercy , " and unchecked brutality of an Abinger ! i Brother Chartists ! up , then , " to the rescue , " is the earnest exhortation of

      Your Friend , John Cleave , Treasurer . ** i P . S . —What about Abinger ? Have you forgotten him ? I should like to hear how many petitions you have prepared to the House of Commons in support of ¦ " honest Thomas Duncombe ' s" proposed motion for an enquiry into the conduct ! of our modern Jeffries . " Good folks all , " look to this . Parliament will re-assembie in February ( next moath . ) Again , I ask , where are your petitions \

      Mr . Sitpth' lectured at Idle-, near Bradford , to a * crowded audience , on the necessity of union in the Chartist ranks ,, and the free-trade principle of the-Siuregeites . NEWCASTI . E . r-Mr . KiddT delegate to the Birmingham Conference from Glasgow , delivered a lecture in the Chauist Hall , Goat Inn , Cloth Market ,, on Sunday evening . Mr . Kidd was received with , general marks of approbation , and lectured ia firstrate style for upwards- of two boars , proving to the satisfaction of ail present , that nothing short of the People ' s Charter coald effectually remove the present misery so lamentably prevalent in the industrious ranks of society in these realms . After

      depicting the great amount of misery whieh exists m many parts of the country which he had lately visited , he declared himself prepared to- prove that nothing short of the suffrage of the People's Charter could substantially alleviate that distress ; he was prepared to prove that the agitators , for Complete Suffrage ( as they termed themselves as a distinction from the Chartists ) were either diahonest , or thafc they were acting impolitio , and consequently inimicpJ to the cause of universal freedom ; and that he was likewise prepared to prove to Mr . Cobden or any other person that the free-trade' nostrums of the League would not enrich the working classes of this country , as they pretend , but that a repeal of the

      Cora Laws , under existing circumstances , would be a curse instead of a blessing to the British sons of toil . Mr . K . advanced many strong arguments in support of his position , and remarked that he hid many more to advance , which he would then reserve , as he would in all probability have an opportunity of entering more fully into the subject in the course of the week , when he hoped the advocates of free trade (?) would have the manliness of meeting him upon the subject . Mr . Kidd concluded the lecture by calling upon all who had the interest of the industrious classes of this nation at heart , to come and unite for the Charter , as nothing but unanimity on the part of the working people was requisite to effect their glorious

      object . The chairman then said that if any person present differed in opinion from the speaker , and was inclined to express such difference , that they would have the same opportunity afforded them of expressing their opinions as ho had , that he would pledge mmself that they would gefra courteous hearing , and that Mr . Kidd was ready to answer any questions respecting bis lecture and to maintain tbe postions he had taken . No questions having been put , a vote of thanks was unanimously tendered to Mr . Kidd for the able manner in which he bad advocated the principles of genuine liberty tkat evening , and the meeting separated highly gratified with the entertainment . Several names were enrolled after the meeting .

      The Chartists of Newcastle and Gateabead met on Monday evening , as usual for business , Mr . Wm . Smith , in the chair . The minutes of the previous meeting having been confirmed , Mr .

Mr . S . consented and the local busi ness was proceeded with .

      IttANCHESTEa . —On Thursday evening week , Mr . James Leach delivered a lecture to the Chartist Mechanics , in their room , Brown-street . The lecture was listened to with marked attention by the audience , who were highly Batisded with the clear and lucid manner in which Mr . Leach bandied bis subject . The thanka of the meeting- were given to the lecturer and the chairman . Carpenter ' s Hall .. —On Sunday last , the usual weekly meetings were . held in the above hall . In the afternoon , Mr . James Wood was called to the chair . He opened the meeting by a few appropriate remarks and introduced Mr . C . Doyle . Mr . Doyle commenced by saying that the weather was very cold , but not i ; ear so

      cold as the hearts of the men of Manchester in the great eause of political redemption . He was sorry to see the thinness of the meeting , in fact he was more than sorry , he was displeased ; especially when be knew that on certain occasions twenty thousand Chartists could be mustered with very short notice . He did expect that as the town had been placarded announcing the meeting and £ he subject of the lecture that they would have had a good meeting , for he must confess that he would much rather have seen three thousand in the hall than a few hundreds as on the present occasion . Not that he cared , as far as tbe advocacy of the Chartist principles were concerned , whether there were twenty or twenty thousand present ; but in the town where Chartism was tbe most popular , it showed a great amount ef apathy in the people . Mr . Doyle then cave a faithful account of the late Con .

      ference , and showed up the " Sucking Pig" party in their proper colours , amid the repeated plaudits of the meeting . He concluded ' by an earnest appeal to the people to arouse themselves from their apathy , aa , in his opinion , there never was a time that required ' greater energy and watchfulness than the present . The thanks of the meeting being given to the chairman and lecturer , the assembly broke up . In the evening the spacious hall was well filled with a highly respectable * audience . Mr . John Murray was called to tbe chair , who , after briefly addressing the' meeting , introdused Mr . Brown , from London , who delivered a most powerful address , which was loudly applauded . A collection was then made , after which Mr . Thomas Dickinson addressed the meeting , for a short time , apon the £ 50 , 000 swindle . Tbe thanks of the meeting bating been given to tbe two gentlemen who had addressed them , and to the chairman , tbe people dispersed ..

      On Monday evening , ameetingot the General Council took place in the Chartist Room , Brown-streefe , for the purpose of investigating the charges against Mr . T . Dicltenson , better known as the Manchester Packer . Having heard the evidence brought forward in substantiation of those charges , as well atf-Slr . Diciengon ' a reply , they came to the unanimous resolution of honourably exonerating Mr . Dickenson from , any inten- " tion of doing iDjury to the people ' s cause , at the same time declaring the charges brought forwajd as frivolous and unworthy of notice . Mr . Dickenson haying thanked the Council for their good opinion , stated that he had determined to retire from publie life ; and presented the Council with his credential * as , a lectnrer .

      It was moved by Jeremiah Lane , and seconded by Mr . John Nuttall , and carried unanimously , " That Mr . Dicbenson he requested to take back his credentials , and hold himself in readiness to att ^ ndhis engagements with the county . " This invitation , Mr . Dickenson oon > plled with . A resolution was then , passed , " That thei « representative' to the County Cotwcil be instructed , to bring the matter before the delegates , and get them to pass similar resolutidas , and stake them known throngh the Northern Star , as thai might tend to undo the injury which Mr . Dickenson Buffered by false wporta getting into circulation i and that Mr . Dlxon , as secretary to the County Council , lay ibe whole mattss before the delegates .
