      She contrast Is bo great , that did we not daily see evidences to the contrary , we would scarcely believe that any sane man would risk his reputation and his honour / for that which , in a few years , he will have to leave ^ behind him , with Qie curse of industry marked span his tomb . " Some of the employers in our locality , who never acted the better part ol man to their hands , ( except they could not help it ) , are doing all they can to make the well-intentioned among you believe that we are Baking use of the Piecers for means which will subsequently prove injurious to all ; and that we are encouraging them in that which we ought not to do .

      "An uniform last Price is what workmen and employers have always wanted , but a want o ? nnion and harmony on the part of both have prevented so desirable * u object . We can only learn by experience ; and all knowledge of the past tells us , how futile have been our efforts . When we have attempted te bring unprincipled employeis up to the price of their neighbours , and the men have turned out , the labour market being full , the places of those standing out have been rilled by the surplus hands in the streets , and'thus have eur objects been frustrated . " We have taken the present plan of using the Piecer ? as a mattsr of necessity , not of choice , forced upon us by the failure of all past good exertions , and We believe we have the sanction and silent co-operation of those amongst yon who understand the duties that ought to regulate employer and employed / and did we set any filing attempted to be done wrong , we would be the first to assist in miking it light .

      " Those who wish to pay a fair price for work done , have nothing to fear , but will M all times bs able to -command the respect and support , net only of their own Workmen , but all others who know them , and those who BCt a contrary part must deserredly expect to be 'detested , shunned "by saint and sinner . * ** Those amonpt job . who tosn always shown a disposition to make your work-people camfortable , accept -our beart-fsit thanks and gratitude ; and long m ay you be able to foster industry—the wealth of empires ! and may your names forever stand a beaming beacon to light avarice 2 nd self-aggrandrzsmeni into the paths of justice , integrity , hnmasity , and charity , the Godemobled and ennobling principles of man .

      THE EXECUXIVFBboxhee Chartists , —We have by this day ' s post , received printed copies of certain resolutions agreed to in Nottingham , on Tnesday , October 15 th , which resolutions have been industriously circulated throughout the various towns in the kingdom , accompanied by letters requesting the Chartists to call public meetings , to express their opinion of our conduct , in striking the principles out of the Plan of Organization , and keeping the people in ignorance of the same . These resolutions have been published in one of the Nottingham journals ; but have been withheld in the Northern Star . We consider it decidedly improper for our Nottingham brethren to have taken these steps , without havinjLfint sought for an

      explanation from the Executive pro tern ., who were the part ies on whom the business devolved . The report , in its main features , is entirely false . Previous to Mr . O'Connor leaving London for Mb Northern tonr , the pia . n , as agreed to at th * Conference , was laid before counsel for their opinion . No other Plan has ever been submitted to counsel ; but wishing to obtain Tidd Pratfs reasons for tefusing to certify , and believing the " principles" to be the main objection , we , acting on ihe suggestion of our legal adviser , and other influential friends , including the Editor of the Northern Star , in order to ascertain the correctness of this impression , laid the Plan again before him , in juxta-position with

      the Socialists' plan ; but with the principles transposed . By so doing "wb PoscED him ao give bbasoks tob bis kefusal ; and those reasons we can now combat . We never intended to make any other plan than that stamped by the approval of Conference , the groundwork of any legal proceedings . The principles of the Charter are our principles . By them we are determined to-stand or fall . If we fail in procuring the enrolment , we must proceed as we have hitherto done , without it ; but the principles we will never abandon . Trusting that this explanation will be satisfactory , and that every attempt to create disunion will be bsffbd by the good sense of the people .

      We remain yours , Thomas Clash , Henri Ross , Phixip M-Geath , President . T . M . Wheeleb , Secretary .

      STOBM AT LIVERPOOL , &a . We add some additional particulars to those "we pnblished yesterday : — The tide—as indicated in the almanack—was at the fall at thirty-fire minutes past two o ' clock ; and in calm weather would have risen to a height of fifteen f eet ten inches ; bat , driven in by the pressure of the gale , it flowed some minutes beyond the hoar stated ; attained a greater height , and , as might be expected , was more than usually tardy in its reflux after it had gained its maximum . The sea at high water washed oyer portions of the qaays ; and the

      steamers from the opposite ferries had some difficulty in l anding their passengers , many of whom , both male and female , from farms in the neighbourhood , it being market d * y , did not venture to return until Sunday morning , when the storm had abated . Several large vessels that had pat back came up in picturesque style under close reefed topsails ; minor craft also appeared almost under bare poles . The Dake of Wellington , from Honduras , fell in with the brig Nile ( before noticed as lost ) , remained by her some time , and those on board saw her founder , with ail hands , without being able to render her any

      assistance . The brig Mary , Captain James Turner , sailed from the Bay of Honduras , with a vakble cargo of mahogany , logwood , and cocoa nuts for stowage , called at Cork for orders , and proceeded towards this port . Until she reached Holyhead Bhe hsld a favourable £ ale , and on Thursday morning took a pilot . On the afternoon of that day it came on to blow , and she was laid-to until two o ' clock on Friday afternoon , when the gale moderated they ran a short distance , and let go both anchors ; unfortunately , however , the best gave way , and the larboard anchor was only an inferior one , and could not in any probability hold , it was shipped , and the crewreefedtbeforetopsailwlth the intention of again laying her to ; bat .

      so violent was the gale at this time that all attempts to set it after it was reefed proved abortive . With the fore-topsail shaking she was held as close to it as she could go , bat , making great lee-way , touched the shore abont ten o ' clock on Saturday night . As the tide rose she again floated , bat only to drive farther up , as sae was now perfectly unmanageable , ihe sea making a clear breach over her ; until daylight the crew suffered greatly . The agents at Lloyd ' s , Messrs . Tjrer andEscles , who , with a person of the name of Meadowa , -were on the alert as daylight snoceeded , by the assistance of a pony , in conveying the crew on shore . One , however , was missing , and , on the agents returninx , he was found lying dead on the deck . His face was dreadfully mangled , and from all appearance he had been washed by a heavy

      sea beneath some loose spars on deck , which , on the water leaving them , bad crashed him to death . An inquest will be held on the body this day . The unfortunate individual was cook and steward , and , we learn , belonged to Sheffield . The crew , inclusive of the captain , consisted of twelve persons , all of whom are considerably injured , and have lost all their clothes . After ihe crew were got on shore , the principal portion of them were taken to the receiving-bouse , where they were most kindly treated . A number of sails and other articles have been got on shore , as also have a quantity of the cocoa nuts . The vessel herself has every appearance of becoming a total wreck , her hall having parted near the bends . She is the property , we believe , of Mi . Morrison , of this town .

      Early on Snnday morning a large portion of grain and other cargo was washed on shore betweon Sout&port and Formby , but principally near the latter place . From the marks it bearB it is evident that it is part of the cargo of the Lady Bentmck , which sailed on Thursday last frem Waterford for Liverpool . The crew must all have perished , bnt none of ihe bodies have yet been recovered , nor has a vestige of thb wreck been seen . The cargo was insured , but we could not learn whether the vessel was or not . We learned that a large quantity of batter had been washed on shore near ikmthport , and as the Lady Bentinckiad little or no batter on board , it is to be feared that some other ve 33 el has shared the same unfortunate fate .

      The sloop Vernon , with a cargo of potatoes , the property of Mr . Cain , of Liverpool , was driven on shore about two miles to the northward of Formby Point . She was from the Isle of Man . Such was the force of the gala that she was driven up on tt > e beach into three ieet of water , bo that the crew waded on shore-The Formby life-boat was oat during the gale , but -was unable to rendeT any great assistance to the distressed vessels that were seen , owing to the frightful state of the surf . — Times , of Wednesday .

      Mobe Vessels Lost . —Every day brings intelligence of additional disasters daring the late gaie . The General Steam Navigation Company's packet , the Menai , Captain Goodburn , arrived at Brighton from Havre on Monday , and he brings information of the sinking of a Dunkirk steamer off that town , when all hands perished . Near Beachy-head he spoke the Shepherd , of Glasgow , from Singapore . Yesterday morning , ihe stern of a vessel , bearing the name of " Ann and Laura , " was washed on shore ai Bri ^ ton . It probablv belongs to one of the vessels which we reported in yesterday ' s Times as having sunk near Littlehampton on Saturday morning . —Times , of Wednesday .

      The Stobm at Blackpool . —The following is an extract from a private letter dated Blackpool , Sunday afternoon : —** How I do wish yon had been here yesterday to have witnessed the Btorm J From eight in the morning , throughout the day , and all Ia 3 t nightj we have had an unremitting hurricane . The rain has now ceased , and the sun is shining beautifully ; but the wind is still high , and the sea roaring and raging in fearful grandeur . Several vessels are in sight : one in particular is so near the shore as to cause much excitement and apprehension for her safety . She is now got just opposite oar hotel , and we can see the people on the deck quite distinctly * I fear the poor vessel has struck on the « tnd& . Crowds of people axe rushing towards the spot : it is a painfnlly exciting scene , and I feel so nnnerved that I can hardly hold mv pen . The

      rrew , 1 see , have got into a small boat ; but they appear to be in immineu * danger every moment of bemg swallowed up . * * O . ' the small boat is upset , and all lost ; I can write no more at present . ? * Tie boat has again appeared , with some of the poor ^ n clinging ton . * * I have been down on the sands , and learn there were four persons in the boat ; a lady and gentleman , and two sailors . The two sailors have got to shore alive ; but one of them , from the poor ladv clinging to him so long , seems almest « ead . They have been carried to Dickson'a Hotel . The vessel wrecked is from Quebec , laden with flour and asHes . There are stul eight Bouis on board , without the least hope of being saved . It is imj , o .- *\ ble to render them the least ass glance . Poor men ! may God ba * e rneroy on tatm ! The day is now wry bet-, but tee sea is sttli fcWiuiij grand . '—Manchester Guardian ,

      Stobm at Scabborough . —This place was visited with a very severe storm on Friday evening last , which continued the whole of Saturday and the Saturday night . The brig Margaret , of Whitby , which was stranded on the 18 th alt ., and had re mained on the sands , for the purpose of clearing her of her cargo , was attempted to be got off on the Thursday , and the work not being completed before the storm arose , she was taken oat to sea , and went to pieces . Part of her has since washed upon the Bands . So great was the violence of the wind , that an unfinished house on the Esplanade was very much damaged , part of the end and front walls being blown down . The mill of Mr . Simpson Chambers , in Ramsdale , had a sail taken away , and several other persons , we understand , have Buffered loss . The sloop " Georges , " of Leith , Craig , master , laden with barley , went on shore at Filey during the storm on Saturday morning . —ForkCouranl .

      The Late Stobm . —The-etorm which took place on Friday and Saturday last , has caused great damage to vessels in different parts of the coast on both sides of the island , as well as on the coast of Ireland . Several serious disasters have also taken place to vessels at sea , and in some instances the otowb have been drowned . From Whitby , Saarborough , Burlington , Hull , Liverpool , and other ports , the acconnta of wrecks are numerous and disastrous . — York Courant . Manchester . Flood m the Ikwbix . —De STBUCTJON OF THE TeMPOBABT FoOT-BHIDGB NBAB the New BAitET . —On Saturday evening , in consequence of the heavy and continued rain , the water in the river Irwell rose to an unusually considerable

      height above its ordinary level , and came down with each force as to Wash away a stage erected by Messrs . Panling and Henfrey , contractors , at Hunt ' s Bank , for the purpose of carrying the iron beams to form the intended railway bridge across the river at that plaoe . The balks forming the stage floated down the river in one raft , with great velocity and force , and came in contact with one of the uprights supporting the temporaryibo ' -bridge at the end of Bridge-street , communicating with Salford . The Tesnlt of the concussion was , that the upright or supporter was broken in two near the middle , leaving the bridge unsupported for about sixty feet . This was about eight o ' clock , and the occurrence was witnessed by Mr . Wilson , grocer , who happened to be in his cellar at the time , and saw the beams floating down the river . The passage over the bridge was immediately stopped , Messrs . Bowers and Murray , the contractors , placing a watchman

      at each end of the bridge about ten o ' clock , to prevent people crossing . Part of it fell about ten o ' clock , and another part about twelve , the same night ; but , owing to the precautions taken , no life was lost nor any person injured . During this time the water continued to rise rapidly ; nevertheless , it is believed that the bridge would have remained as firm as when first fixed , had it not been for the acoident at Hunt ' s Bank . The water at its highest point was from four to five feet below the height to which it rose daring the fbod of 1839 . - Several small boats were washed from their moorings between Victoria Bridge and the temporary bridge at the £ ? ew Bailey ; some of these floated through the bridge in the early part of the evening Without sustaining any injury , bnt others were broken to pieces amongst the timber which floated from Hunt ' s Bank , and accumulated at the bridge . — Manchester Guardian .

Monday morning the parties , with about twenty or thirty others , proceeded to the place between seven and eight o ' clock .

On Thursday last , a small farming man , named Godcau , seventy years of age , and almost blind , was left at home while the rest of the persons of the house were in the fields getting in their potatoes .

      IMPORTANT MEETING AT SADDLEl WORTH . THE TRUCK ^ TER-LEAGUERS POUNDED TO j PIECES . On Friday evening , October 27 th , a meeting was holden in the large room attached to the Swan Inn , Dobcross . i , which will be remembered with pleasure by one portion of it , and with chagrin by another portion , for a long time to come .

      The large room was crowded to suffocation ; and hundreds had to depart , who could not obtain admission . No meeting for a long period has excited so much attention as the one we are j now chronicling . A great number of masters mete present ; and the sequel will show that it was well for them that they were so . H . H . Brou ^ htou , Esq ., a magistrate , was in the chair J and he introduced to the attention of the meeting Dr . Sleigh , who for about an hour-and-ahalf pleaded in defence of the rights of labour , and against the acts of the " rich oppressor . " His arguments and tacts were wormwood and gall to the

      free traiing trucksters . They could not contain their bile and spleen ; but tried to throw the meeting into confusion by most unmannerly interruptions . The foremost &tthis kiud of work was one James Lees , who by some unaccountable means or other has be n manufactured iuco a magistrate . A more pompous , conceited , ignorant , unmannerly , tough-hided brute , could not be found in all Saddleworth ; and that is saying a great deal . His conduct was most shameful . He failed , however in his object . The people were not with him . They laughed ait him ; derided him ; and put him down ! i

      Dr . Sleigh , atithe close of his able address , introduced his admirable Memorial for the Protection of Labour , in which the case of Protection v . Free Tradeism is so well stated ; and a motion , was moved that the Memorial should be adopted by the meeting . j James Greaves , of Lees , once a pretended Chartift , but now employed by the Leaguers , offered a quassi sort of opposition ; but dare not venture to move an amendment . He offered to discuss with Dr . Sleigh the question of a Repeal of the Cora Laws ,

      if arrangements were made . He showed his fitness to di-cuss either that question or any other , by stating , point blank , and stoutly maintaining , even when set right ^ that our foreign trade alone employed onB half of our population ! Dr . Sleigh said , that he must decline such discussion , not out of disrespect to Mr . Greaves : but he had challenged ! Messrs . Cobden and Bright ; and both those gentlemen bad declined the challenge . He had repeated it however ; and he intended to wait to see whether it was accepted or not , before he discussed with any lesser man of the League .

      James Lees , the magistrate , then addressed the meeting ou the question of foreign trade ; contending that it was far more important than many parties seemed disposed to consider it . In proof of his position he j quoted from a statistical table , to shew that the foreign trade was more than . one-half as valuable as the home trade . Dr . SJoigb replied . He produced the table from which the , hard-hided magistrate had quoted ; and showed , most triumphantly , that he had steppressec the truth ! H ® hid only given a portion of the table ; that portiou whioh seemed to favour his position ; while the remainder he bad kept in the back grouud , because it upset [ the argument he had been ' advancing . This the Doctor showed to be the case most conclusively , and convicted Lees as a liar in intention before the meeting .

      Mr . HoB ^ ON , from Leeds , who had attended at the request of a number of the working people , next addressed j the meeting . The announcement of his name caused great consternatioa amongst the trucking masters , who were present . He had been put in possession of a number of facts , of a most astounding nature , relative to the prevalence and practice of truck amongst the FREB-traders ; and he used them with terrific effect ! Ii was as if a boinbbball had been ! dropped in amongst them . The

      trucking-masters quitted their |^ eats ; crammed themselves intoj corners ; got behind folkB ; pulled their hats over ! their eyes ; aud would have sunk through the earth to have got out of the' place . The crowded state of the room prevented them from departing ; or their presence would soon have been removed . Tho facts we shall , as some future time , make use of ; and tell all about the doings of" Lord Lothbrdale" and his set of free- traders , who tie their poor Blaves to their own counters !

      Before the memorial was pat to the meeting , an amendmrnt by way of an addition to it , was moved , to the effect that Protection to labour would be effected , by a Repeal of the Bread and Malt taxes . When put to the vote , not thirty hands were held up for it , out ] of a meeting of more than five hundred . And jwhen the memorial was put to the vote , not one hand was held up against it . It was carried unanimously . James Lees th | en valiently challenged Dr . Sleigh to discussion ; he hat ing hrard him declare that he

      should decline aiset discussion with every man , unt il he had met either Mr . Cobden or Mr . Bright . This valient offer Mr . Hobson witheringly exposed j and told the antviousifor-dificuss'on man { bat if he meant the challenge in earnest , he ( Mr . Hobson ) would aocept it , and discuss the question with him . But Lies now fell hft . He dare not tackle to . Ht > slunk off : and f . tie last we heard of him , was that he was in the ** bar ? of the Swan Inn , with ten glasses of branriy-and-w : aterin him , biceuping that" he was the man that could beat them" !

      The Lwiguer ^ are discomfitted . Their rage . is boundless ; only ; to be compared to the joy of the working people at their defeat . The tyrannies of the masters in that neighbourhood have been most monstrous . Tn <] y were exposed for once ; and the guilty culprits Were in the presence of the people when the exposure was made . A reduction in ; the wages of tne men employed by the tvaplinet-mHjjtistrate , Lees , had been effected on Monday the 23 rd ; while the wages of the men foiployed by a master in his owu immediate neighbourhood , a Mr .- ! Hastings , had been enhanced some four or five shillings a-week f The teiiing of those facts by Mr . Hob ^ an had a wonderful impression on the nieeuntf . Tho people in Saddleworth have had too miiih of the FRBB-Traders to b © \ n love with Free-Trado . i
