LsJ me lays a petition signed ¥ 7 five hundred tbeM&nd fighting men , and Jet the House of Commons know that ttey Trill fight—jDand O'Coto «« . TTe can mike » BuTiion pikes in a weefc—TRobkb Sfeefe . Sis , —It is now BCTeii-years since 1 addressed a jeries of letters to yon upon the subject of your Parliamentary condnet during the four previous years . That communicaiioa was dragged from me ij your own folly in . not availing yourself of the opportunity Jhatlafforded you to explain some charges you thought proper to hring against me In yonr asso ciation of that day . The facts contained In those letters , which remain nnshakenand uncontradicted to the present moment , Bhonld have made yon cautions in again charging me , directly or indirectly , with politic *! tarpitude . You most haTe been aware lhai the improved mind of Ireland hadfrom that

      , period , constituted a new censorship for the investigation of all znattera connected with the character of politicans ; and my former letters having considerably damaged your reputation in the days of Irish darkness , when yoor magic power controlled all without question , it was the extreme of folly to hope in these more enlightened times that yon conld convict without trial . However , it hot unfrequently happens thai the possession of great powtr is used as a set-off against minor disadvantages ; and mayhap yon calculated upon your present position giving you an irresistible dictatorial strength ; and thereupon yon founded a belief either that I would quietly Bnecmnb , or that any defanee against charges brought by yon in your present position would be futile and unavailing .

      Sir , I am now preparing to reply to your recent attack upon me , not so much with the Tiew of defending myself , as for the purpose of explaining the general tendency of the mode of making that attach , and the object with which It was made . In one of your recent Bpeeehes , delivered in the Corn Exchange , yon took the opportunity of commenting upon some information communicated to yon by a correspondent of the Morning Chronicle , in the coarse of which you used the following language . I shall first select those portions which will best Berre to connect your reasoning upon the -subject , and I ^ shall then comment upon them as a whole . Meantime , sir , do not charge me with any desire to

      arraign yon upon garbled extracts ; for bear in mind , that your whole speech was printed , in tbfr NorihernStar of Saturday Iart . The first extract ¦ which I quote is as follows : — " That some hundreds of men , or may be thousands , did not get drack , did not fall oat and Sght , and cause general riot on Tara Hill , to which the military and armed police wonld have soon been summoned , was not the fault of the persons alluded to , nor the fault of those who paid them to come here ; who haTe also paid the same men , and some others , to follow Mr . Cobden from town to town in England , from Norwich to London , from London to Maidstone , from Maidstone to "Winchester , and several other places to get up a liot , and upset his Anti-Corn Law meetings . *'

      K 2 fow thisde ^ erved the most serious consideration . This was a subject that conld not drop ; and they muBt know from this gentleman who they were , and who hired them . Cculd it be possibly supposed that they were hired by the British Ministry I and yet if they were Bot hired by the British Ministry , must they not be hired by some person in the confidence of the Minister 3 " ** TiET CfftU > SOW SEE HOW TBE CAUSE OF BEF 0 R 3 C HAD-BEXK-PUTBOWX-i : !

It was a bloodless , stainless reTolution to -which be aspired ; a political change for the better , brought about without injury to life or to property . "Who would say that the Irish people bad not sufficient constitutional resources to fall back upon , evto U their present plans were defeated * Supposing a very extreme case—supposing thai lie plans now proposed for the nchieTement of our national regeneration were factiously thwarted and defeated , might not the Irish people acknowledge the wisdom of betakirg tbemsetvea exclusively to their potato crops , and leafing the harvest of Ireland uncut ?

He trnsted that the meeting would pardon him ibis digression , but tbe paragraph which bad given rite to it was of so important a nature- that he was kite tbe Irish , people would acknowledge -that be was doing -nnfoiTig more thnT » his duty in offering these remarks . "

      Baving so- far , Sir , given that portion of yonr speech which refers to the Chartist body generally , and to myself as one of the body particularly , I shall now proceed to connect it as a whole ; ihns establishing my assertion made at the outset of the present agitation that ultimately you wonldseek to saddle its failure either upon the indifference , or the treachery of the English Chartists . In many of yonr * previons orations you haTe charged tbe Chanisis "with opposing Jli . Cobden and the Corn Law League , and further you haTe charged them as " Tory-Chartists , " and M Tory-Spies , " r&-ceiring the pay of GoTernment ; while jon now state that tbe Repealers " could now see hoir the cause of Reform had been put down in England ly the interference-ofpersons pretending to be Chartist *; for the great principle of Chartism was not to allow any public meeting io take place" ( I presume you meaned 10 proceedj " widi&turbed ?'

      In the last paragraph you proceed thus : — "They should probe it to the bottom . He cared not who they were , the man who is at the bottom of such a plan as that , was a wretch that should be dragged to the scaffold . Ieargu 3 O'Connor when the Chartists were sore beset in England , proposed the absnrdity of what he tailed a sacred month . " Now , Sir , conaect yonr speech as a whole , and conld any of joht hearers haTe come to other ronclusion , than that you meant your hearers to infer that the disturbers of tbe Tara Hill meeting were Chartists , hired by the government for the purpose of carrying dissension and confusion into the Repeal ranks ; and from the sly and pointed manner in which you make my name follow ** the wretch th 3 t should be dragged to the tcaflbld , " is there a man who heard it ^—is there a msn who reads it , bnt must come to the conclusion that Peargns O'Connor is to be offered np as the sacrifice whereon the present agitatioais to be immolated ! ...

      Sir , if the agitation of Mr . Cobden and hi 3 desolating fraternity was calculated to serre the cause of Irish liberty more than the agitation of Feargns O'Connor and the English Chartists , how happens it that in the midst of improTed opinion , yon deem it necessary to be silent upon the principles of the former .-while you find it indispensible to adTocate as nearly as possible those of the latter ! BaTe you » t length diseoTered that the Irish people , like the English , will comend for principle alone ! Do you feel sore that the day of jaggle and deception h&s passed away ! Axe jon mortified at being dragged onwards in the couree of liberty , at ft speed which yon hoped , but now find it impossible , to retard I Sir , if yon have reeerred a Etreogth beyond yonr fondest expectation i if yon have embarked in a

      project which yoa hoped indifference to have sanctioned the desertion of \ and if yon have not the moral courage to » otb onward with yonr strength , In God ' s name , rather proclaim yonr own timidity , than sett to cover yonr refcreat by the foolctt ilxnder and de&matios of others ! "While yon have proclaimed jcrarBelf the advocate of the Irish Catholics , and the defender of tne . Irish Church , very properly censuring the iigh ones of Jour own creed , who hare degraded themselves by Pandering to State Church authority , how , I ask , did the redoubtable Mi . Cobden escape yoxa consure for the publication of a book , in which he thanks God that he was not born a Catholic I" and in which he has the matchless audacity to attribute •» English filth , English debasement , and English immorality , to the mixture of Irish Catholics

      with 4 he English people" ! !! In denouncing English prejndice against the Catholic people of Ireland , why had yon not the manliness to hold this Cobden up as the reviler of our conntry , the defamer of her people , and the denouncer of their religion ? Why ask us to follow at his back , to cheer him in his follies , and to aid him in . his projects ! "Why feel so tenderly towards him and his order , not one of whom that would not resist your agitation to the death ; while to dignify and glorify them , you heap slander upon millions who h&re resolved upon aiding the Irish people in their noble struggle for liberty . The fact is , Sir , you court weakness , and dread strength ! If I felt inclined to reply to vonr charge against

      me for having proposed the " Saored Month , " I need but turn to a single passage in that speech from which I have quoted ; and there I find you actually urging the possibility of the Irish peopl « having recourse to what , with reference to me , you call " aa absurdity . " You say— " Supposing that the plans now proposed for the achievement of our national regeneration were factiously thwarted and defeated , might not the IriBh people acknowledge tbe WISDOM of betaking themselves . exclusively to their potato crops , akd leaving the harvest ov Ibei » axd vxcvt" ? Here , then , Sir , we find that expediency changes English absurdity into Irish WISDOSI . You propose , not a sacred holiday , but a total cessation op laboub is ifiELAra >; for as

      Ireiand is wholly an agricultural country , it ' the harvest of 1843 was left uncut , 1844 would be a year of total cessation from labour . But even this foreboding of another year's delay to the great question of Kepeal , is not bo ominous as the -following : — u The resolution for the non-consumption qf exciseabU . articia has jantioir proposed , nor would it until o -more URGENT EMERGENCY should arise ; but , then , he was very far from Baying that it mieht not be proposed ONE DAY OS OTHEE . " Now , Sir , as an ardent lover of Irish liberty , anxiously desiring to see the Act of Union repealed , I ask you how I am to reconcile the "URGENT NECESSITY , " snd the " ONE DAT OR OTHEE , " and » THE

      ALLOWING AK IRISH HARVEST TO . REMAIN UNCUT , " with yeur solemn drc'aration ti-at this , 1843 , should be the " REPEAL YEAR" ?! Even yet , Sir , with such strong ieelings 01 indignation , and such alarming forebodings of retreat , I am not disposed to weaken your hands ; while J have no inclination to sit tamely under your tyranny , of which the foregoing is bat the beginning . I defy you to point to a similar instance of resignation under f } ander , to that which I huy& evinced towards you . I have allowed yon to deal uninterruptedly in Bhallow personal invective . I have allowed the distant yelpings of yoar cowardly staff to pass by me as the idle wind . I have endeavoured

      not only to account for , but to justify your devious and meanderine course : upon the presumption that the end to be obtained being great , it justified even your means for accomplishment . But , Sir , when I discover that yonr intention now is to sow the seeds of dissension more profusely than ever between the English and the Irish people , I cannot longer abstain from pointing out the errors of your way , and the folly of such as undertaking . I am no political trafficker ; and therefore I neither courted nor sougnt yoar approval of my conduct ; while now , I am justified in asking , if the publication and dissemination of Ireland ' s wrong was , as you have stated , necessary for ibe achievment of Ireland ' s rights , bow happens it , disseminatator of knowlege ,

      redresser of grievances , *• Liberator of Ireland , " that while the Argus-tye of your several associations was abroad searching the English press for even toleration of your principles , and the admission of your grievances , that it never lit upon a single line in that paper ( the Northern Star ) which has illuminated the mind of England , and is illuminating the mind of lie ' and , even amid the gloomy atmosphere that you have cast around ? From the moment that that paper was established , now nearly six years , English prejudice began to fade , until at length Englishmen are as much alive to Irish sufferings as they are to their own grievances . In 1841 ,

      when the whole press of England assailed you , and while I was a captive in tbe felon ' s dungeon , I contended against the English press , * and from that period down to the present , I have never Io . 't an opportunity of advocating tbe claims of the Irish people to liberty aud independence ; while since the recent agitation commenced , can you point out amid your cuckoo-press a case so strong , and argumems bo convincing , as I have addoced in favour of a repeal of the Union !! No , Sir , 1 defy you ; and 1 now proudly inform you that the hand that writes this letter has wriueo Dearly every f-ingle leading article that has appeared in ibe Northern Star , upon Irish affairs and a Repeal of the Union .

      The charge of physical-force made against me in your speech is best answered by the qnotations that stand at the head of this letter . Bnt if I required stronger proof , or if I would condescend to argue against tbe right of an ppprtfsed people to have recourse to arms for their liberation , I « culd multiply instances from your recent speeches which , gloss them over as yon may , are threats of physical force . Did not your son , Air . John O'Connell , in reply to Mr . Connor , say , " that if the alternative Bhould come , the leaders of your Association should take the lead in a physical encounter" ? I should not for a moment , cor indeed do I vovr , dwell angrily upon those puffs , was it not nec < ssary to remind yon of the old adage " that one man may steal a horse , while another dare not look over the wall . "

      In the speech , however , to which I allude , you charge me and the English Chartists , as you have frequently charged us before , with the crime of being Tory spies , in the pay of the Tory government ; and that our opposition to Reform has now extended itself to Ireland . Yes , Sir , you have stated that the same men who followed Cobden went to the Tara meeting for tbe purpose of creating confusion . Yon have stated many times that those men were in the pay of the Tory Government , ; and that I was their leader : you have further connected them with the whole- Cnartist body by Btating " the Repealers could note see how the cause of Reform has been put down in England by the interference of persons pretending to be Chartists : ' and you sweepmuly add " for the

      • REAT PiUJiClFLB OP CHARTISM WAS NOT TO ALLOW A 2 > T PUBLIC MEETING TO TAKE PLACE UNDISTURBED . " And ihen , Sa as I before ob-erved , yon slily introduce Feargns O'Connor as " the wretch who sbonld be dragged to the scaffold . " As the good opinion of my countrymen is dearer to me than life itself , I challenge you to the proof . You say , "it must be probed to the bottom . " For years you have mixed my Dame up with vile transactions , until at length you have associated it with ' " the scaffold " . Sir , although I have not many friends in your association , yet have I that firm reliance upon Irish honour sDd integrity , that I am willing to aid in

      this desireable and nrCfFFary investigation ; a > d , to that em > , I DARE YOU TO THE PROOF . I u > "Di : btase , if your ** whistler" or your " correspondent" dare to mix my name up with such an act of treason , to meet too as my prosecutor , with your wiines ^ es in y . » nr own conrt , in the Cobn Exchange , and to submit the question to animpartialJury ot Irishmen . And upon behalf of the English Cbartists , as a body , I undertake that they will give every facility to tbe investigation ; and that upon their part they will disprove that any one of their body has ever received pay , or been the hired tool of the Government , or any other faction .

      When it serves your purpose to revile us , we are a weak and insignificant body , but when it suits you to charge us , then every Eng lishman , as if by magic , becomes a Chartist . Sir , I now propose to meet my assailants singlehand . I DARE TOIT . AND THEM . TO PEOVE ONE SINGLE act op tbeacheby against me ; nnlefcs indeed there is treachery in having preserved the consistency for many years , that presents an unbecoming mirror to those who see their own delinquencies reflected in it . You shall not put us down- For years we have haunted you as the real advocates of real liberty ; while for years you have chaDged your shape and form into the most fascinating figures , in the hope of seducing and destroying us . I commenced the struggle with the poorest of the poor ; I will continue it for their benefit and redemption ; and

      neither your tortuous course , nor yet the prospect of dividing the English from tbe Irish mind , shall arrest us in our progress . Why will you give me such triumphs over yon ! Did I not predict in the commencement 0 / the renewed agitation , that the loophole th rough which you 'could escape would be , " opposition from the English Chartists" J If the Repeal of the Union was in troth yonr object , and if English sympathy upon that point was mad e indispens ible , vhy did you cast such bitter reflections upon my attendance at the great MartfUbone meeting ' m JvJylast , -which I akd mr of Whig stkfatht to a REPEAL Mis . Ell ^« 1 £ fr . yo ? mnst learn that I am in the habit of reading Ws political life as s whole ; and noir I will lay before yon the canse of your temporary cessation of wh ^ T l ^ n . Amrnrt . 1 842 . to Jane , 1843 j and the

      reason why you selected the latter " period ftr the iSt agitation . Yon know that adead dog can't btoT j 3 ? wore aware of the Jaw % « persecution to which I and my party were subjected ; you ^ read of the Lancaster conviction with pleasure and deliRht ; you were unacquainted with the informality of the

      Untitled Article

      indictment ; you calculated upon my further incarceration ; yea hoped for unopposed sway ; you raised a hope for a concealed purpose , with an ostensible bearing j and the laxity of the law , whioh declared my liberation , caused you suoh discomfiture and consternation , that you seized the moment of my triumph as the fitting cue for renewing your deadly hostility !! Always bear in mind , Sir , that you told the Irish people , in 1832 and 1833 , that it was hopeless to expect a Repeal of the Union until the English p eople joined in the demand ; and , mind , that from that moment to the present you have Aised your every energy to 'DEFEAT THE OBJECT whioh you declared to be indmpswsible TO TOOK SOCCEf S ! ! !

      Sir , hope not either io arrest or much longer to retard the growth of democracy . You have had a quiet summer unopposed by legal authority * God send that the oeming winter may be as calm 1 We have had a lifeless summer , and will nave a quiet and a bloodless winter ; and as men must be judged by their acts , whatever the spring-yield of your present agitation may be , I pledge myself that by that time , either you will be forced into thu fulfilment of your pledge , OB , THE WHOLE IRISH NATION WILL BECOME CONVERTS TO THOSE PRINCIPLES "WHICH

      rou profess to admire , butwhxchyou Aaw lost no opportunity to destroy ! 1 You have strength at your back , Sir , suoh as no man of ancient or modern times could boast of ; and your greatest consists in the sympathy of the Jury olass ; while I have no power but that whioh abject poverty can give me : for the Jury class consider my destruction necessary for the preservation of their order . Beware how you ^ trlflc with such power I Build not upon the prejudices of former days . Hope for ho great lenity , if disappointment should lead to its aspiration ! And , above aH , do not tarni sh your fame by saddling your weaknes s upon other men ' s shoulders . The nation has given you the support that you asked for . It has proclaimed its willingness as one man to stand by you to the death ; while it ha 3 profusely furnished you with all the means of agitation . Hope not , then , so meanly of Irish pride , [ Irish hope , and Iridh resolution , as that all will be allowed to vanish as the mei& dream of enthusiasm , leaving nought behind ,

      " Bnt the wreck of old opinions . " It iB now eleven years since I told you at a public dinner in Cork that , like Frankenstein , you had created a monster which , if thwarted , would destroy you . Since then yon have occasionally nurtured it , and put it out to nurse : but it has grown in the time ; and ere long you will behold it , terrific in its maturity if opposed , or fond is its embraces if cherished ! BUT TOU CANNOT D £ feTR 6 V IT 1 And although you have rocked it to sleep now and then , lest in its growth it should interfere with " corporatereform , " " the registration , " or " titho reform , " yet the full grown beast cannot now be lulled to rest with so poor an opiate as thiee or four hired English Chartists , causing confusion amongst a million and a quarter of thoroughly organized and well disciplined Irishmen , met upon the spot of Ireland ' s former grandeur , and commanded by Ireland ' s present Liberator ! No sir ,

      Lay not the flattering unction to your soul . " ThinK not so badly of our brave eountrymen . I at least entertain no fear that a passing rumour " whistled" at the base of Tara Hill can divert six millions of Irishmen from their darling purpose !! Sir , I understand that you have written a History of Ireland . I have not yet read it , but I learn that it is to be sold to the several districts at the low price of twenty pounds . But let me hope that it is not written upon those fake assumptions which are everywhere to be found in your recent Bpeeches . If however , you have erred from your thorough ignorance of the History of Ireland , I trust that those errors are confined to those dark times when mere assertion will go for the establishment of fact . But

      pray do not seek , as you have in yoar several speeches , to convince the Irish people that in 1782 the snn of Ireland rose ; for in reality what you call " the glorious achievement of the Irish Volunteers " was the commencement of Irish debasement . It is but right , sir , that the History of Ireland , and especially of that time during which the cravings of what is called her "free Parliament , " furnished the English press with such just cause of vituperation , should be thoroughly understood ; and in order to illustrate that portion of Ireland ' s history give me leave to inform you that the period from the passing of the ectenual act during the vice-regency of Lord

      Townsend in 17 o 8 down to the Act of Union in 1800 , were the very darkest days of Irish history . Up to 1760 the price ofaseatin the Irish House of Commons , was £ 500 per life . By the octenu&l act a seat was made worth £ 800 for eight years ; a price subsequently raised to £ 2 , 500 ; and afterwards tho title was purchasud for fruni fifteen to twenty thousand pounds . The establishment of "free trade , " aa you are pleased to term it , in 1782 , having caused the second rise ; while the latter purchase-money was paid as compensation to the borough-mongers for the purpose of carrying the Uniou . You should tell the Irish people that that freedom of which you boast , in 1782 , CONSISTED IN THE INCREASED POWER vested in . the

      hands of the Irish Protestant Parliament by the repeal of Poyning ' s Acf , and the triumph of the Volunteers in 1782 , to make themselves , not serviceable to the Irish people , but dangerous to the English oligarchy . You should tell them that aa soon as Lord Charlemont , the Generalissimo of the Volunteers , had achieved all the objects of his own faction , that the Irish Catholic Volunteers petitioned him to proceed for " a full , free , and fair representation of the whole people in the House of Commons" ; and to which demand the Generalissimo returned the following answer : — " That howkver DESIRABLE PaRLIAMENTART REFORM MIGHT BE , AND

      WAS , IT WAS ADMISSIBLE ONLT ON JHE BASIS OF PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY , " The Irish people irom that moment deserttd their Protestant leaders , and established the Society of United Irishmen ; while Charlemont and his faction directed their untiring exertion to spoliation and Parliamentary plunder of every kind , making the most of their own independence of England . Their patriotism was Dever evinced except for the purpose of evincing that independence on their own behalf ;

      until at length their peculatious , delinquencies , plundering ;* , and constant a raws upon the temper of the English oligarchy , suggested to the English Minister tbe plan of gorging them to repletion , the repast to be furnished out of Irish patronage and the English Exchequer . Such , Sir . is . the true history of those rampant days of Irish aristocratic Protestant asewndaucy , when the Irish Volunteers , having achieved the triumph of their Protestant taskmasters , laid down their arms in disgust , and betook themselves to a combination of " United Irishmen . "

      Bear in mind , thin , tho fact , that the first Organization of that body was formed for the purpose , not so much of ridding Ireland of the Bmi .-h yoke , as to destroy the domestic corruption of tho English settlers , who never lost an opportunity of taking advantage of the weakness of their own country , as a means of atgrandismg themselveh upon the spoil iu their adopted land . If you expect to make fhe Irish people in lore with a domes ic legislature , yiu must not hold out the acts or deeds of any previous Irish Parliament as an inducement ; you mu&t t ' . il them as I tell them—that Ireland never had a Parliament , from the first day that the foreign invauer set foot upon the land ; and that Ireland never will have a Parliament until the

      Commons House of the people , is tne true reflex of public opinion : and that will be when , but not till , the Irish people are represented upon all the principles contained in the People ' s Charter . I am , S . r , Your obedient Servant , Fearous O'Connor .

      NEWCASTLE . —Mr . Kydd lectured in the Chartist , Hall , Goat Inn , on Sunday evening , on " Rebecca of Wales ; " after entering at some length upon the geographical position of Wales , and the facilities which nature had furnished the Welsh with , to battle any attempts on the pare of their enemies to put them down by brute force . He reviewed Rebecca ' s Charter , as it appeared in a copy of the Northern Star in last July , clause by clause , clearly proving thatnobenefic would accrue to the labouring classes , if Lady Rebecca was to get nil she wanted in her Charter . It only requested certain immunities to the farmer and middle classes ; but ihe labouring class was entirely neglected by her ; there was no protection or immunity urged in that document for

      them . It was true , he said , that Mrs . Rebecca wanted a change in the Poor Law Amendment Act ; but that change was expressed with great ambiguity . Mr . K , then went on at great length to Bhow the folly of the working cesses expecting any amelioration of their condition from suoh indfinite measures as Rebecca , ( supported by the Whig and | Tory press ) , contended for , it would do them no good , and urged the propriety of adopting the Plan of Organization , as agreed to by the late Conference , as a more tangible mode of bettering their condition . An opportunity was then offered by the Chairman to any one who might differ from Mr . K . in anything he had said , but was not embraced , and the meeting dissolved about niae o ' clock .

      The Chartists of Newcastle and Gateshe , ad held their weekly business meeting on Monday evening , Mr . Johnstone in the chair . The Secretary having read the minutes of the previous meeting , they were confirmed . Mr . Sinclair said he had received 8 d . more from the weavers work in North Shields , for tho Victim Fund , which made 2 s . 3 d . received by him for the Victim Fund from that shop . The following resolutions were then agreed to : — lit . ** That a deputation be now appointed to wait upon W . P . Roberts , Esq ., to inquire if the current report is true that Feargus O'Connor , Esq . is expected to visit this district soon , as the Chartist

      body have had no official information oh the subject . 2 nd . " That Messrs . Fleming and Sinclair form that deputation , and that they report on next Monday evening . " 3 rd . " That Id . each be henceforth charged for admission to the Sunday evening lectures , &o . " 4 th . " That as Mr . Kydd has expressed a desire of taking a tour to the south , the Chartists of Newcastle and Gateshead do empower Mr . Sinclair to furnish him with credentials , certifying him to be an honest Chartist , and a talented advocate of pure democracy , as set forth in the People ' s Charter . " After disposing of some local business , the meeting then adjourned until Monday evening next .

      ^ OLtlNWOOD .-Mr . A . F . Taylor , of Royton , delivered a most animated lecture in the Chartist Room , Pew Nook , on Sunday evtning last , which gave great satisfaction .

After the New Plan had been read , a discussion took place on the Laud question , which was carried on very spiritedly by Messrs . Storer , Pilling , and several others for some time . At the conclusion of the discussion , several new members were enrolled , some of them old men from tbe school of Cartwrfgbt and Hunt , who had never joined us before , but said j that seeing the New Plan of Organization , was coupled with the LanJ question , they determined at once to come forward and assist us by every means in their power .

      NOTTIWGHA 1 W . —At a meeting of the Female Charasts , held on Tuesday last , a resolution was passed , declaring that , in the opinion of the meetiag nothing short of the People's Charter would benefit the condition of the working classes of this country .

The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed , the " New Plan of Organization" was read by Mr . Adams ; after which Mr . Colquhoun rose , and moved the adoption of the Plan . Several questions as to the bearing of certain clauses-were put and explained . Ultimately the further consideration of the question was adjourned to that night week , as by that time they should have an opportunity of knowing whether the Plan should receive the sanction of the certifying barrister .

      Drowned while Bathing . —The following paragraph , headed as above , has appeared in an Edinburgh paper : — " Mr . Edward Pollin , of Paisley , — date of the Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle and Newcastle Courant unices—while on his way to London from the latter place , ventured to bathe while tho vessel was riding at anchor off the mouth of tho Thames , and , we regret to add , was unfortunately drowned . The deceased was well known in Paisley , and his death is lamented by not a few who knew his worth . He has written a number of beautiful pieces , several of which have appeared in tha columns of newspapers , periodicals , and annuals . "The writer of this knew the deceased before his connection with either of the above papers , at a time

      when Mr . Pollin was to all indents and purposes the "leader" of the Paisley Chartists . In private life he was all that was amiable and endearing to those who had the good fortune to be ranked amongst his friends ; and the productions of his pen published in the Scottish Chartist Circular , Scottish ralriol , and other publications devoted to the cause of democracy , testified bis ardent love of freedom and his earnest desire for the restoration of the rights of the millions . As a poet , Mr . Pollin gave promise of a bright future , had he lived to dul y cultivate his talents and enlarge his mental capabilities . We know not his age , though he must have died but young . Most sincerely do we lament the death of one bo highly gifted , and so well fitted to—with fl pen of firb " , — unfold the wrongs and vindicate the rights of the enslaved and suffering people .

      Died , on Thursday , September 21 st , at the very advanced age of ninety-one years , Samuel Roland , of Nottingham . The deceased was a frame-work knitter by occupation , and was the inventor of several important improvements in his trade . These improvements , however , did not enrich him , for he continued to work in the frame down to last February . From 1778 to 1814 , he was rather noted &s s " Jacobin , " and was a prominent character in all elections . When the "Anti-Jacobin" fever was at

      its height , Roland was with many others & sufferer for his political opinions . On one occasion he had his windows broken , damage being done to tha amount of £ 25 . He was also shot at by some of the " King and Constitution" men , who , however , did not succeed ia their diabolical intentions . He has left a numerous family of children , grand-children , great-grand-cbildron , andgreat-great-grand-childrea to the number of one hundred and fifty Jive I He was borne te his last home by seven grand-children , and oce great-grand-child .

      Died , on the morning of Monday last , at Hull , after a linger ing illness , Mr . Holder , chemist , of that place , aged sixty-two years . The deceased was a warm friend to tho Chartist cause , his purse being ever open to advance the principles of freedom , or to succour those of its advocates who fell victims in their struggles with unrighteous authority .: Hospitable and affectionate , he will long be deplored by a numerous bod ? of friends , and a family by whom he was truly and justly idolized . Death of Sir Matthew Wood , SLP . —This once highly popular public character died at Matsdn , near Gloucester , the seat ol his son-in-law , Dr . Maddy , on Monday last . He had been suffering for some time past from water on the chest . He was in hi 3

      seventy-sixth year , having been born on the 2 nd of June , 1768 . For more than a quarter of a century Alderman Wood has been one of the most conspicuous members of the London Corporation : After filling several offioes of ksser importance , he waa chosen at a comparatively early age an Alderman for his ward , and was twice elected to the office of Lord Mayor . He sat in nine successive Parliaments as one of the members for the city of London , in the representation of which his death , of course , canses a vacancy . On the questiotf of the trial of " the late Queen Caroline , the deceased Alderman took an active and decided par' in support of the Queen , and was in consequence , for a considerable period , tho

      most popular man that had appeared in London since tbe time of Wilkes . His name waa a popular . watchword with the " Queen ' s party , " and many a time has been shouted applaudingly by those very voices which in the same breath were showering groana and curses on the head of that personification of parity , (!) that " Defender of the Faitb , ( !> Fum tho Fourth . " Alderman Wood was a •* Reformer , * that is to say a Whig , and , as a politician , can only be regarded with contempt ; bnt the large space he once filled in the public eye justifies this leagU-ericd notice , which we should not think of giving to Whig politicians in general ia the columns of the Northern Star .
