^ White—Then you are a nioe specimen of libe-The Magistrates then left the bench , and Mr . White , and his worship the Mayor , left the Court-House together . High words appeared to be passing between them as they went down the street towards the Commercial Buildings , and his worship appeared as though he found himself in a very disagreeable Bituatioa .
Fatal AcciDEtr .-On Tuesday last an inquest was held at the Court House , before John Black born , EBq ., on view of the body of Edward Webster , a lad fourteen years of age , employed on Mr . Tomptanson ' s contract on the Manchester and Leeds railway , at Thorahffl Lees , near DewBbury . From the evidence adduced , it appeared , that the business of the deee&sed was greasing the wagKons , but that he had persuaded an elder lad to allow him to tip a few waggons—that is , driTe them when loaded to their destination , where they are turned oTer to be emptied , and whilst endeaTouring to-ldoBe theirace of the horse from the waggon , his foot slipped , in consequence of which he fefl 7 and the loaded Tehiele passed oyerhis legs , which were deadfully fractured . He was removed to the Leeds General Infirmary , where | he expired on Monday . Verdict— " Accidental death . "
A . DJOUBJTED Bbewstkr Sessions . —These Sessions were h » ld on Monday last , when the licenses suspended at the g eneral sessions , with the exception of that to the British Queen at Wortley , -wex » all granted , after a few warning observation * by the Mayor . Mr . Papfflon , of Land ' s-lane , it will be remembered , offered to close two additional rooms which he had jast added to his dram-shop , if the magistrates desired it ; the Mayor stated that they should agree to his proposal , the intention of the legislature , in granting retail licenses to wholesale dealers , beiog not to proride accommodation for tipplers , but to enable the dealers to supply those who wanted a small quantity of eood wine and
spirits . Mr . Papillon begged hard for his rooms to be spared , and Btated that he had tt put his foot into it by making the offer , biit the bench were inexorable . Ah attempt was made by Mr . Naylor , solicitor , to obtain a re-hearing of the application on behalf of John Sadler ; bat on this question , also , the magistrates had " made np their minds , " and refnsed therefore to listen to any argument . We haT » again to remark that the business of the meeting was pre-arranged , in private , by the justices , who were closeted for two hours and a half , and on coming into court the only thing they had to do wat to go through the farce of announcing their decision *
with as much graTity as they could command . The hour specified for the meeting , in the public notice papers , was eleren o ' clock , but it had turned twelve when the magistrates came out of their room ; consequently , a host of persons were depriTed of upwards of an hour each of raluable time . Really if this commodity ia bo plentiful with the Leeds Borough Justices , they ought at least to reflect that there may by possibility be those waiting of them to whom an hour is of essential importance . The magiatratea present were , the Mayor , Mr . Tottie , Mr . Clapham , Mr . Nell , Mr . Stansfeld , Mr . Grace , Mr . Lupton , and Mr . Holdforth .

TTA-r . TTPA-g . LuDDETOHr Foot . —At this plaee , near Halifax , on Monday last , Sarah Parker , a small shopkeeper , had her house broken into by a set of ruffians who succeeded in taking away with them , two silk shawls , one sflk gown , half a dozen silver teaspoons , one glass , and s loaf of bread , besides other articles . On searching the premises afterwards , it was found they had left the loaf of bread in the pig tub . On the same evening it is supposed the villains made an attempt to break into the Bhop of Mr . J . Waddington , grocer and beerseller , but were heard when taking down one of the shutters , and they gave an alarm which caused them to run away . Mr . Smith ' s mill was also entered , the same evening , and three shirts with other articles were taken , which had been left to dry .
v . o ? j F ?? E ?« - —On Friday erening last , at the Old Assembly Room , Talbot Inij , in this town , the above-named gentleman gave an interesting lecture on the subject of education , as connected with the British School Society , in which he displayed considerable talent and philanthropy , in recommending a system of ed ucation free from the trammels of set creedB and faiths of every description as connected with religious bodies , by promoting a sound scriptural education without them ; and show « d that it had been attended with great benefits to a
number of pnpib who had received their education there , and afterwards were called on to fill certain offices which were a credit to themselves and au ornament to the society to which they belonged . He described the state of education in this country to be very deficient both as regards teachers and the public as compared wivh other countries , and forcibly illustrated his point by a reference to the Berious amount we pay for physical force as a government , being millions a year , whilst scarcely anything i 8 done for the education of the people .
waixH ? . Distress fob Poob Rate . —John Eden , an old subscriber to the Star , had his house entered and his goods spoiled by the stroDgman , for arrears of poorrate . His Tery Bible was taken from him . Eden had heard that all tenants , under £ 5 yearly rental were to be exempt—he pays £ 3 , and on this ground resisted the rate . His aged -wife and daughter haTe been bound over to appear at the sessions on a charge of assault brought by the policeman who swore that they took hold of his collar to orevmt him
from removing the goods . Eden was absent at work at the time . He has brought up a family of twelve children , without ever troubling the parish ; and is an industrious , hard-working man , though now infirm with age . One of his daughters , who married and became a widow , would have had to enter the workhouse , if he had not received her into his own to keep . A neighbour -was summoned for taking par t with his wife , and the widowed daughter . Eden appealed against the rate ; but could not be exempted , because he is a

Ihqpest . —An inquest was held on the 11 th inst . at-Hadswell , near Richmond , before William Binsdale , Esq ., Coroner , on the body of Peter Jamson , of the former place , about fifty-three years ' of age , who was found , the prerions morning , snspendeaby a rope in his own stable , quite lifeless . It appeared from the evidence that he * had bsen in a desponding way Borne time , and had a Bhort time before attempted hisjife by taking a quantity of laudanum . Yerdiotinsanity .
MTDDLETON . ^ The elaea-leaderg , and a few of the members of the Rational Charter Association of Great Britain , met in the Reformers' Chapel , Jon Sunday evening , the 13 th of September , to give in the class ^ P ^ * .

\/ eo $ * s * . ¦; Magismbui , JosncB . —Tke reader * of fro Sttcf will recollect in the account from a gp « eial « NWtftblfe of the Jatetwwactionain this tawo , ti » t a wwsani was taken out against a policeman , weJUwowm by he name of akin and grief , " for treating and illtreatinR & defenceless young woman in the street , when on her way to the factory , and reudwria * her * j ^ tarn ^ oine wi thout being assisted fey her mends . The warrant was taken out on , Sainrday , the 8 th of August last , and it was arranged that the case should be heard on Monday , the 10 th , but for reasons best known to the magistrates and their accommodating clerk , who , by ( he bye , is principal , twas shamelessly postponed to Wednesday , the 26 th . The 26 th cams , and the parties attended , aud it war ~> IaT "" COU | &
urther postponed to Wednesday , the 9 th of September ; the parties attended a * before , at that time , and mark well , reader , the case could not be investigated because there was only the policeman ' tj number on the warrant , hia attorney contending that there should have been his name in the warrant ; of course , this mare ' s nest was sufficient for oar sapient magis * trates , and the case could not be heard until a fresh warrant waa taken out against bis name . It was further alleged by his attorney that a young woman who should hav © given evidence iu his client ' s favour » d absconded , for fear of being barked by the Chartists for so doing ; such Whigging , - shuffling nonsense as this needs no further comment . This this gentle reader , is a sample of Colne law and
justice in the nineteenth century . It would be well if those persons who have the appointment of persons to fill the magisterial office would be more careful to select men who are possessed of something like common prudence and decency . Since the late riot and defeat of the pauper brigade and their abettore there , they have been in a state of terrvrum and agitation which has made them very submissive and gentle , and the working people have been able to walk through the streets without being knocked down and dragged to ^ prison by a squad of idlers who are fattening on the poverty of the rate-payers ; well may the good men . of Yorkshire meet in great numbers to oppose the introduction of such an unconstitutional swarm of locusts into their several
neighbourhoods . There has been no further arrests here in eonnecti « n with , the late riot , with the exception of a young man who has been conveyed to Lancaster with no further evidence against him than the pretence that he acknowledged to the persons who had him in custody , that he had been in the late riot , and which statement the lad flatly denied before the magistrates at the time of his committal . This is another instance of Colue magisterial justice , and . thews with what promptitude and alacrity businees can bo attended to , when the liberty of a fellowcreature can be trifled with for six months , on such frivolous and Star-Chamber pretences and practices . If such proceedings as these . be in accordance with law and reason it ishigh time to remodel the present system , and constitute a better .
DARNAIX . Samaritan Wkll Lodgk , No . 251 , Dabnall . —The members of this respectable and flourishing Lodge of Ancient Free Gardeners , held their second anniversary on the 31 st of Angust rat the house of Mr . Wm . Hardcastle , Wellington Inn . The brethren assembled at twelve o ' clock , and were joinod by the military and brass band at one o ' clock , who proceeded to the parish church of Attercliffe , accompanied by a numerous body of the inhabitants of the neighbouring villages , where an excellent sermon was preached by the Rev . John Blackburn , who gave for his text the appropriate passage from the 8 th chapter of St . Mark ' s Gospel , and the 36 th and 37 th verses , — " What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul , or what shall a man give in exchange for his aoul ! " At five o olock in the afternoon , the brethrento the number
, f fifty-two , and fifty-six wives and sweetheart ? , sat down to a sumptuous dinner , for which Mr . and Mrs . Hardeastle is so justly celebrated . The lodgeroom was beautifully decorated with banners , evergreens , and flowers . After the cloth was drawn , P . G . M . Goddard took possession of the chair , aud was ably assisted in his duties by G . M . Liversedge , as vice-chairman . The chairman called for a bumper , and gave "The Working Men of Sheffield , mav they have plenty to do ; the Army and Navy nothing to do . " The vice gave " The Samaritan Well Lodge , and may it prosper and flourish for ever . " Other toasts and sentiments were given and duly honoured , being prefaced and responded to by several of the members , especially by P . S . W . Siausfield , of : the Rosebud Lodge , Sheffield , which remarks reflected equal credit on the heads of Gardenry ; several other toasts were also given , and the conviviality was kept up till a late hour .

TO THB EDITOR OF TH * KOBTHBBM STA& . Sir , —It is mj unpleasant duty to record one of the most inhuman acts and incivilisation which seldom occurs in a Christian country , but which too often characterises the mpjtart Tory and gentleman ; a poor woman at Crimble , has lately suffered much from want and privation , as well as the husband and six of a family , in consequence of her husband , who is a gardener by trade , being suddenly , and without notice , deprived of niB situation and livelihood , which he had held with respect and esteem for eighteen yean , because he conscientiously professed Radical principles ^ Things being bad , and situations rare , he has remained without rork or wafes eighteen weeks , leaving the family destitute of resources , except what came out of the wages of a boy about fourteen years of age , who
acted as waiter at table , and received six shillings a week , and found his own victual * One dayj hia master went to Bayley , where he had an estate , to shoot , and took this lad with him and found him victuals j In four weeks he returned ; and , as you may well believe , his family were famishing from want by being deprived of their boy's wages for four weeks . The wages were reckoned and paid ,- but how ? Why , he deducted is . a week for victuals , and instead of the family having £ 1 4 s . for their hunger and wants , they had only eight « hillings ! | The fatal truth produced such an effect on hia mother , who was a kind-hearted and watchful woman , that ihe went out of doors , said it would be quite sufficient for her , and plunged herself in despair into a reaervoir which ia near , and before * he could be got out , was dea 4 .
Nott , Mr . Editor , this is a bittar enemy of ours that will turn any man from his work and wages who is known to read your excellent paper , and well knew at the time he did this , the situation and distress the family were in , because they lived in the very next bonse to him . Is this relieving the distressed and feeding the hungered ? and yet he is a churchman ! Alas , how deceitful ia the heart , and how hardened the man who would plunge into eternity , and before a just God , a poor , helplest , famishing , but kind and affectionate woman , for the sake of sixteen shillings ! Blush , O ye worshippers of mammon , who forget yourselves as citizens , and would sacrifice human life for the love of gain .
Who Trould deprive a good workman of his situation , because he conscientiously differed , in political sentiment from yon » The time will come , I hope , when the tyrant will not repose with safety upon bis downy bed , without meeting a just and awful sentence from Him -who is the avenger of wrtrngB , and who taught us to love those who hate us . I hope , Mr . Editor , you will give this insertion , because it deserves exposing in the hands of those who despise such wrongs . I am , Sir ,

ARREST OF WRIGHT BEATTY . TO THB EDITOR OF 7 HB KOETHBRN STAR . Dear 5 m , —I have to inform you . and through you to tbepubUo , tbat a young man of the name of Wright Beatty was taken on Monday , the 7 th instant , charged with conspiracy , riot , and sedition , on the 4 th November , at Newport As soon as the working men heard of it , the Committee assembled and took Immediate steps to form a defenee for him . On less than three hours we gathered the sum of £ \ 18 s . from the good friends of liberty : we engaged an attorney and paid him the sum of £ i la . for Ma services , and , indeed , well be deserved it . We have raised a defence fund for him which we know will be supported .
There were two witnesses examined for the prosecution , viz ., Joha Lewis , of Tydu , tin-plate manufacturer , the other Alfred Tibbs ; the latter witness was closely examined by Mr . Philpots , attorneyfor the prosecution . He asked him did any person tell him what John Lewia had sworn in evidence against the prisoner ? He Bald ha could not reeolleck that » ny person had told him any thing , although the time was not more than fifteen minutes , but still he eould recollect what happened on the 4 th of November , a apace of nearly eleven months
ago . In reference to other questions put to him by the attorney , he admitted that something had been said , bat he paid np attention to it Duriag the cross-exami nation , witness got into a most violent passion , and told the attorney not to bother him . During the better part of the trial he kept biting hi * lip « , laagnlng pulling faces at the attorney , && , * c . Coildsueha man swear the truth ? There was a third witness called , a Mr . Hopkins , superintendent of police , but the attorney made his evidence void and null .
Poor Wright Beatty was then committed to Usk sessions for trial , though there was oaty the Mayor on the bench , a man that knowano more about the law than a West Indian planter . We strove to maid it a Monmouth job , bat that Would not do ; the tyrants know he shall have no fair play at Usk . We offered bail to the amount of £ 600 , which was refused . Signed on behalf of the Committee , Alfhed Hill , Chairman , Willian HbnrtCronik , Secretary . Newport , Monmouthshire , September 12 th , 1840 .

- We have received » letter from MeK ° rs . Moore , of Tr « wbridge , and Hawkins , ef CWi e , giving an account of tbeir visit to this stannc ^ patriot in New Deeizea prisms . He is aa firm as ever , but dreadfully altered tar tbe worn . Messrs . M o «** Mil H » wkiiw aayv " nnlaa the * Is sone alteration made in his treatment , and that speedily too , it is our opinion that his remains will be eonsigned to the silent tomb . " The following letter to Mr . . Moore , respeeting Jwn , from Henry Yineent , wiU be read with interest by our numerous readers : Oakham Gaol , Bufclandahire , lat September , 1840 .
Mv dear MeoREr-Sinoe I last wrote to yon , 1 have been much paiaed by the perusal of letter * relating to the savage treatment of poor Carrier . 1 cannot express my indignation . Death would be infinitely preferable to s « eh lingering tortur * . Carrier has a claim npon your sympathies , and no prejudice ought ) to cool the ardour of your attachment to him . He haa applied to you for looks ., . Now I , who- Jcaow what Gaol is , tell you that if yon wi&h to Save hi ! life , you mud let him have tine books . To be in solitude without books , is hell upon earth ; and , for a nan having any pretensions to Intellect , it must end in IKSAM 1 Y or DEATH .
I know not what you have done for Carrier—but I know what you ought ; to do . You ought to appoint some Saturday for a general collection on his behalf . Do not tell me it cannot be done . It can . / am nr * there are hundreds of women % tould give the pric * of Sunday ' s breakfast to keep Carrier out qf a madhouse My God ! how that brave fellow has suffered . To tread round the . — mill like a horse—but I dare not write what I think—and I cannot keep my temper . Now , for God ' s sake , let him nave the books . Beg for him from door to door—and if you cannot , or will not get them for him , send me word , and I will Bell my coat and shirts but he shall have some of them . If any one dislikes Carrier—he must now forget Ma dislike—he must remember the poor fellow is in the hands of the devil—and he must learn the Christian charity of forgiveness .
If any one will lend Carrier £ 5 , 1 wi ll undertake to pay it six months after my liberation . Write to me , Moore , and let me know what y * u have done for him . Give my love to all friends . I am well and happy . Ever devetedly yours , Henry Tijjchbt . P . S . —Read this letter to the friends .

Sir , —Being desirous of laying before the tolling millions the sufferings of my persecuted brother , I think it necessary , and a duty on my part , as an individual , -who has escaped the tyrannical and murderou * faction , although , if required for tne advancement of the glorious cause , I am prepared to sacrifice my liberty , and even life itself , to alter that system of torture which our friends are subjected to , in the gloomy dungeons , in all parts of this our once happy land . I om happy to sea the working millions once more arouse themselves , and hope they will never rest until Frost , WilliauiB , and Jones , and all the victims of Whigglsh persecution , are restored to the bosoms « f their families . Onward , and let your voices be raised from the Land ' s End to John O'Groat ' s house , for the Charter , the Charter , the glorious Charter .
Ftom yours , in the sacred cause of freedom , Waxsingham Martin . P . S . —By the insertion of the above few remarks , and the following letter from one of the bells Of Whiggerr , in the next number of the people's paper , you will oblige yours , &ci ,
W . M . House of Correction , Northallarton , September 7 , 1840 . Dear Brother , —I was not aware until to-day but that you had received a copy of a letter , dated August 29 th , which I addressed to the Chairman of the Visiting Justices ; but it seems , for some reasons best known to themselves , that bo haa thought proper to have it delayed for the present . I certainly might have omitted a portion of its contents , which , I imagined at the time I was writing it , would be highly offensive to his ear ; but hia Worship ought to have made an allowance , in consequence of the manner in which he ordered me to be treated ; for , when I informed him that i had been sent to solitary
confinement , for refusing to work upon the vertical wheel , he told me that the Governor had his orders to do so ' . And here I am , after suffering indignities thai have never been offered to a prisoner under conviction of a seditious libel , ( as the lawyers call it ) , to be consigned for the ensuing winter , deprived of both the use of my reason and speech , which God bestowed upon man to distinguish from the beasts that perish . But there 1 b one consolation which cannot fail to raise my chartist spirits—that is ,. Fox Maule has admitted there ought to be an allowance made to persons of my class ; and again , he stated that there was something wrong somewhere . What a comfort , after twelve months' torture , to bear that men delicious language haVbeen used by a Member of the Government As the Hon . Gentleman
knows what is good , he has only to put it in practice , by removing me from this dungeon , I do not ask for a reduction of my time , neither Is tt my wish to receive any favour from the WHlgs . But in justice they are bound to remove m « t&Bonie place where the discipline la not so severe . The severities of this house can never make an impression on my mind that will induce me to bow my head and worship the image which the Nebuchadnezzar of Whiggery has set up . I would sooner die in this dungeon than desert a cause for which so many are suffering , tittle did I think , two years ago , when I heard Tom Reynolds , in Dublin , praise the good-looking Lord Lieutenant , as he called Nermaaby , that I should be permitted to remain in solemn silence , forced to toil , arid not-allowed to look-to the right or left , that the good-looking Lord would prefer murderers before me . If thfe persecuting tribe wants to rid
the world of us Chartists , they ought to prepare a dose for us , under pretence of administering to our health , and as some of us are afflicted with pulmonary diseases , there ia a good opportunity , ( for medical men have prescribed prussic acid , aud small doses of arsenic in such cases ) , so that an extra quantity might bo given ; and they can find a jury to return a verdict to free them from blame ; but if they have no such intention , why treat us with so much severity ? They know they cannot stop the progress of Chartism , for were those men , who are at present tbe life and soul of the movement , to bury the question in oblivion , it could only rest 1111 Feargus O'Connor was at liberty , when the trumpet of agitation would sound , and the news would go forth that the Charter had risen from the dead . As Mr . Fox Maule may have forgotten me , send him a copy of the following letter , and you will oblige me .
I am , dear Brother , Youra , affectionately , vr .. t . Wm Martin . We here subjoin the letter alluded to : SIR , —If yon will be . SO good as to inform me by what means I can get a petition presented to her Majesty in Council , aud by what authority the keeper of this prison Is empowered to enforce the silent system you will oblige your humble servant , ' TotJieHon-FoxManh , Wm . Martix .

TO THE SD 1 XOR OF THB NORTHERN STAR . Sib , —It appears that 1 have , in my last Utter . concerning the wives aud families of the suffering Chartists , confounded together the Council appointed by the Delegates , and the Committee elected by a Meeting of tne People of Manchester . T l ? ? £ * l e oi th ? ex ' st ?« ce of the latter body . I did not know that such a body of man were acting , and when I found , on my arrival at Manchester that the Committee were very active in the discharge of their dutws , I became very anxioua to rectify the mistake . The Committee were appointed for the purpose of granting assistance to the suffering wives and families , and the only obstacle which they have encountered has been the want of money , or rather , they complain that their orders have not been honoured at the Star Office . *
I believe that a sufficient explanation can be given relative to the above difficulty , and I am happy to think that the poor women and children will receive speedy and constant and equal assistance . The names of those who were elected as Committee-men , are Peter Shorrftcks ( Secretary ) , Samuel Chamberlain , Andrew Melville , Jaines Wheeler William Maddocke , WilliamRushton , and J ohn Mil lington . Now I kn «* all these men , and I have no donbtthey will do their duty like men * ad honest Chartists as they are . . ....... * I have Been them all , and they have annointail Mr . L . Pitkethlyand M r . Thornton ^ aSitow of accounts at the Northern Star Office . After this arrangement , I have no doubt but that th * caimtr *
will leel perfectly satisfied the Wives will be ielieved and the fears of the prisoners set at res * . I hope that the names of wives and families , togetke * with the addresses or oW , wUl be forwarded to Peter Shorrocks , 7 ^ 6 un-s * reet , Great Anowtfa-stieet . Manchester , as soon as possible . Let nc * one want *» long av assistance may be had . ? - - I also venture to hope thatthepeopfetrili » ubsenbe for suoh a noble purpose , and Pitkethly will be sure to print the balance sheet .

GENERAL LETTER TO THE REQUISITIONISTS IN SCOTLAND , FOR A TISIT flRNRRAL T . rttp . r to tut ? p ^ tttot
OF MESSRS . LOVETT , COLLINS , AND M'DOUALL . Fbibnto awd Brother Chartists !—We rejoice Li the patriotic spirit that our country has displayed on the present momentous occasion . It will shewvour dear friends i « England who have suffered in the cause of liberty , that the evils they have soBtaioed have allied them more closely to our affections ; and it will tell onr oppressors that persecution has only augmented onr love of independence —has added force to our determination to be tree .
You are all ansioos to know the specific day on which Messrs . Lowett , Collins , and M'Douall will visit yonr reapectrw districte , could we calculate minutely on every contingency—did we know every town they have to vim *—tbe mode of conveyance firo » one place to aaether—how much labour or fatigue onr noble-mind ** visitors could sustaia—we could nx the exact davon which each demeastratu ^ wooidbeheld . Bit we § 0 not know the rnnuUi * of there things ; consequently , we can only draw up a general route , and leave- eurenmstances to regulate the detail .
Our illustrious patriots , for so we may call tbeia , more illustrious they are , indeed , than all the honourable and right honouraWe tyraHts of ChristeadoMh-will , if they are well , fee in Greenock , en Friday , the 17 th instant ; in tke Vale of Leven , •* Saturday ; m GlaBgow . on Monday , the 21 st , at tk » National Meeting of Delegates , on Tuesday aad Wednesday ; m Edinburgh , on Thursday , and Dalkeitb . on Friday or Saturday . In Bathgate , on Monday , the 28 th current ; in Airdrie , Tuesday following ; in Hamilton , next day , ( Wednesday ) -in Strathaven , on Thursday , ( that will be bard work ); in N&wmills , « n Friday or Saturday , ( it would probably be well were Newmills to sead a phaeton for
them to Strathaven , aawe do not know if there i 8 a regular e « aeh ) ; in Old Cumnock , &ay on Monday , the 5 th October ; ia Kilmaraeck , Tue 3 dav ; Saltcoats , Wednesday , the 7 th ; Paisley , Thursday ; Johnston , Friday ; Kilbarchan , Saturday ; Eaglesham , Monday , the 12 th ; Kirkintilloch , Wednesday , the 14 th ; Cawpsie , the 15 th . They will then go to Stirling , Ailoa , Dunfermline , Kirkaldy , Markinch , Newburgh , and probably other places in Fife » hire ; Perth , Dundee , and other places , in Perthshire ; Forfar , Montrose , Brechin . and other places , in Forfarshire ; Aberdeen , and other places , in Aberdeenshire . They will sail then from Aberdeen to th «
most convenient part , to Roxburghshire , when they will vieit Galashiela , Jedburgh , Hawick , &c . ; from thence to Dumfriesshire , Kirkcudbright , Wigtonshire , and then homo to England . Thus you see , fellow-countrymen , that it is impossible for any man to fix the \ ery day on which all these places will be visited—but there will be good time given to all . We will supply our tourists with a list Of all the districts who request their presence ; alao , with a travelling-map of Scotland , and they will , when they arrive at some particular place , announce their route for the following eight or ten days .
Some towns have earnestly pressed us to fix for them a certaia , day whioh they consider will be most convenient for themselves ; we do not wish to give offence to any , but every committee will see that we cannot interrupt the regular line of tour . Fellow-countrymen , the agitation for the Charter of our rights bow occupies a proud position in the political movements of the country . Factions who adhere to the old rotten institutions of the state talk of expediency ; they simper about gradual reformsabout the repeal of this bad law , and that bad law , bat we vindicate truth . We want justice to allwe demand a constitution which will not only abrogate every wicked law that exists , but secure to us equal rights and equal laws for all time coming . We are getting stronger every day , while the enemies
of liberty are becoming more and more enervated . The reason is—justice ia our motto , truth is our guide , universal happiness is our object—therefore , God is our protector . All pur efforts , all our prayers to be free , are recognised in heaven , while the deeds and the assumptions of those who trample on our sacred birthright , who fatten on the oppression of their fellow-men , bear the impress of ihe powers of darkness . ^ Prepare , then , fellow-countrymen , for the reception of our friends : every cheer you give them , you give for the Charter . The Whigs could not honour Lord John Russell with one dinner ; but we will let the Whigs see that there are hundreds of thousand ' s of good men and true in Scotland who will ^ welcome , with proud acclamations , the brave patriots , whom Lord John Russell and the Whigs would have gladly annihilated .
I am , fellow-countrymen , ever yours in the good cause of liberty , William Thompson , Secretary to the Universal Suffrage Central Committee for Scotland . Glasgow , 22 , Prince ' s-atreet , Sept . 14 , 1840 .

APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC , ON BEHALF OF MR . HENRY VINCENT , AND HIS
WIDOWED MOTHER . SOME Friends of Mr . Tincent , having become acquainted with the painful fact , that in consequence of his protracted Imprisonment , his Widowed Mother is in circumstances whioh render her unable either adequately to provide for the maintenance and comfort of her children , consisting of two sons and a daughter , or to afford any assistance towards procuring a few necessaries and comforts for her persecuted and patriotic son , Henry , now lying in Oakham Gaol , have formed themselves into a
Committee for the purpose of raising a permanent fund to be applied by them in weekly payments to the relief of Mrs . Vincent , and her orphan children , and further to enable the Committee to transfer a regular weekly contribution towards the maintenance of Mr . Vincent , during his imprisonment , the Whigs having granted him permission to furnish himself with suoh articles of food and clothing as may be necessary for his health and sustenance , though by their oppression he is deprived of the means of procuring them .
Mr . Vincent ' s imprisonment will not tenainate till the month of March ; he has therefore to encoaoter the long and dreary season of wilier , amid the deprivations and discomforts of a gaol , and hia mother and her family will have to straggle through the same seasea of increased wanta and increased expenses , deprived of the counsel aai assistance of her inestimable sen , on whose exertion * , while at liber ty , tie prosperity of the household mainly depended . It therefore beeones the duty of all good men , afexious te promote the spread ef political knowledge and social improvement amoBg the people ,, aud to- protect from unnecessary suffering those who , like Mr Vineent , have nobly and honestly devoted thsmselves t » so jusi and holy a « atse , to do all in their power to auppij his wants , alleviate hi * sufferings , and relieve bis mind from all auuetv
relative to the well being of hia beloved parent , sister and brothers , to all of whom he is warmly and : sincerely attached , and for tvtose comfoxt and happiness he i » know * to be affactietiately BOli » itous . Such being ihe circumstances wbicb have come to th * knowledge ef Mr . Vincent ' s immediate friends ia London , they lw » no time in laying then before th * country , iu the loll assaraaae that anong the many thousand admiring friends of Mr . Yineent , vrko have listened with deligltf to . hia manly eJoquenoe , orbenefittedb y his instructions , a sum of money will be immediately raised sufficiently ample to enable the Committee to accomplish the object proposed , and thus rescue a deserving family from the miseries of poverty , and cheer the heart of the young patriot , whose devotion te his country ' s service has exposed him to the vengeance of the powerful
oppressor . John Cleave , Treasurer , Arthur Dyson , Secretary . Subscriptions in aid of the objects of the Committee will be gratefully received by Mr . Cleave , Shoe Lane , Fleet Street , and by Mr . Arthur Dyson , 146 , Kkigaland Road ; by whom a balance sheet of the receipts and expenditure will from time to time be published .
