apt nights' meetings , they wanted , in their capam as a committeo of the Land Company , to raise compulsory levy on the members of the j _^ d Company , without consulting them . ' Further , thej _rdersd the treasurer on two occasions to pay 1 local expenses bat of the shareholders' money _rfiich _lhad toadranceagainontofrayownpocVet { till ] eould be indemnified } to prevent a discrepancy enough ift my account . Now _. IthinkltisabvfouseHoughtoany OB _econversantwiththerulesofthelandCompany , that the sooner such irregularities can be prevented , the better . Therefore , I beg leave to plead guilty ef having _negatived such , proceedings . I am so overjoyed at their _giring me the sack , that I shall freely forgive them the test of their letter . I remain , your obedient servant , and faithful advocate of the Charter . E . _BosEBisoy . mm _ntihti * meetings , they wantea , in their

The masterly manner in which Mr Harney laid bare the past diplomacy of the Whig secretary for Foreign ASalrs _. is aproof how closely"MrHarney , inhis political observations , has tracked the steps of his opponent in all his foreign acts of intrigue , deception , and cruelty . Thanks to Mr Harney for pouring snch a flood of truth and light upon tbe public mind . The constituency of Tiverton wonld have done honour to themselves by returning snch a man as tbeir representative to
Parliament , and would atthe same time have conferred a benefit on society at large . But let Mr Harney be assured that among the minds that think , investigate and enquire , he has earned a name and fame , far more honoured and honourable than tbat which can or will be . awarded to his opponent . It is an evident sign of moral and mentalnrogrcssion , to witness the readiness with which the men of Tiverton responded to the advice of their late candidate , Mr Julian Harney , in establishing forthwith a Working Man ' s Library . It is a matter of greatpleasnre to see the principle of _progression quickening into life themtdlectualnature of man . I hare a volume or two that I feel disposed to add to the library at Tiverton , if our friends there will accept them . Mr Harney wiU oblige by saying what will be the best and cheapest mode of conveyance , . Wishing _prosperity to the institution , and union amongst tbe
men of Tiverton . I remain , yours , most respectfully , Hesbt Sobhaf . . 16 . Clare _Street , Nottingham . ( Mr Daman must endeavour to find some means in . Nottingham of sending the volumes to London , addressed to Julian Harney at the Sta * office . Mr H . will forward the books to Tiverton . ] Sbe Letteks ok Gxahjuk — Onr Smethwick friends write to us asfollows : —* _VTe ara very glad to inform yon that the Letters on Grammar , at present in course of publication in the _Sxax are thankfully received in this village .

Let yonr orders reach as not later than Thursday morning . J . W . Smith , Manchester . —Tour temperate remarks on the article in last week ' s Stak , relative to the effect of Free Trade en the state of the country , have net altered tbe news we bold on that question ; nor do we think that it ia the duty of a journalist , for the mere sake of standing weU with a party , to refrain from commenting npon events whicls illustrate important principles . It may have been premature to expect that , concurrently with a good harvest , good -trade should make its appearance , but at aU events ,
no one conld have expected , reasoning open the data -furnished by the League orators , that { It would have been concurrent with a proposal for the absolute suspension of labour for a month , to allow the markets to recover . We do not deny the truth there may be in Free Trade doctrines , but contend that these alone -are not sufficient to produce tbat improvement in the general condition of the people , which all parties profess themselves desirous of seeing realised . We are quite willing to refer the decision to the great arbiter , Time , with the persuasion that it will confirm the correctness of the remarks which have elicited the remarks ofour correspondent . -3 * . _LretET , Manchester . - Received .

KOTICE . —Anxious that clients should not be disappointed , and the number of cases rendering it impossible for me to attend to all , I have arranged with a professional friend , equally competent with myself , to render me his assistance . I , therefore , request that , in future , all letters containing law cases may be addressed to me at No . 43 , Queen ' s Road , Bayswater .

Theimmense number of unanswered cases now iefore me , renders it absolutely necessary to prevent , if possible , the sending of any more fer the present . In -order the better to prevent it , I bez to state that till the cases now before me are finished ( of which due notice wiU be given ) , all law cases will be returned , unless accompanied by a fee of at least Ss . Sixes ? Jones . The _HEtt-AT-LAW . ' -Having addressed your letter to 48 , Queen ' s-road , Bayswater , yon bad evidently read the notice in last week ' s Star , in which I stated , that till I had got through the vast number of unanswered law cases then before me _tof which due notice would be given ) , no cases would be attended to unless accompanied by a fee . Notwithstanding this notice , you send ane a case without a fee . If yon send me a Post-office
order for 10 s ., your case shall be forthwith answered . Even had no such notice as that alluded to appeared in last week' s Star , yours is a case with which a fee ought to be given ; for I bave all along declared that it was my intention to give gratuitous adrice topoor men only , and not to men of property , and tbat you are a man of property is apparent enough from your case . I have expressed my readiness to be satisfied with very moderate fees , even from men of property ; and it would be unreasonable in snch persons to expect that I should render them gratuitous services . 3 .

Jwhich , as your uncle ' s heir-at-law , yen may do .

- Two English Gsktlkhen found bead lit _Jnvbbness-shire . —At the Mansion Honse , on Tuesday , the Lord Mayor received the following communica tion from the sheriff-substitute of Inverness-shire , dated Fort William , Inverness-shire , enclosing an account of the finding of the bodies of two English gentlemen on the 2 nd instant . The names of the deceased gentlemen ate Mr Stericker , of 49 , Fenchurch-street , and Mr Henry Whitburn , brewer , Esher , Surrey . The letter went on to say— 'I refer to the enclosed paper , containing the evidence of one ofthe first persons who fonnd the bodies , and which contains all the information I have as yet collected . The report of the medical men is also enclosed , agreeing that death occurred from natural causes
I have not as yet ordered a dissection , and will abstain from doing so , unless circumstances ofa suspicions nature may emerge , but which I do not expect Tha necessary attention to tbe bodies will be bestowed , and I shall suspend all directions aa to interment until the pleasure of tbe relations becomes known . I proceed thia evening , with the procuratorfiscal , to the spot where the bodies were fonnd . to prosecute further inquiries . ' The evidence alluded to is that of W . S . _Milner , ensisn in the 69 th regi ment of Foot , who had been residing with his brother at Kinlochbeg . fifteen miles from Fort William , and it gives tiie following account : « - ' About eight o ' clock this morning ( 2 ad September ) , one of the servants told me that a drover had seen a dead man by the
road-side about two miles from Kinlochbeg . I went to the spot and fonnd two men lying close to one another , about threeyards from the road on the low side , quite dead . There was not the slightest sign of _strae ? ling or of violence , and their appearance gave me the impression that baring sat down to rest they became benumbed with the cold and expired . Both were dressed as travellers , each with a small knapsack on his back . There was a small whiskey pocket flask lying near them empty . Last night was very stormy , wind and rain in great abundance , probably the most stormy night we have bad this year . ' The statement then gives _aparticular account of the property found upon the two deceased persons . The medical certificate expressed the opinion that death
was caused by exhaustion and cold from the deceased having fallen asleep on the mountain oa that boisterous night . The Lord Mayor noon recei p t oE the communication on Monday sent his chaplain to the friends of Mr Stericker , and one of tbe marshals to Esher , to disclose the intelligence . It appears that the two gentlemen were strangers to each other , and had journeyed together accidentally . Each had left on an excursion through Scotland , and they had been seen on theprecedingnightatno great _distancefrom the spot on which their corpses were found . Mr Stericker had written homeonthe 31 st August . Opemko of thb New Ham at _Btjeks's Comas . —

We Least Expected Them. An Extract From ...
we least expected them . An extract from tbe' Mac clesfield , Stockport , and Congleton Chronicle , ' of August 28 th , will show some little of our progress , inasmuch as the editor ,, in his leading article , defends our association against the attacks of one ofhis contemporaries : _— 'There is a sad lack of heart about some people , ' says he . . ' Why should our contemporary call the straightforward protest of live hundred Englishmen a rigmarole ? ' As if purposely to show him on what ground he stands , he ha 3 this week to report the complete and final annexation of the weavers of Macclesfield to the great British League of Operatives . We , who have the knowledge of and a faith in the progeessive principle , do most unquestionably believe tbat it will always be felt by civilized man , that the one performance ofa ' French Revolution on the theatre of earth is quite enoueh . But we are not bo sure that equal severity
_"Unien forthe MiUic * . " We feel proud in beiog able to say , that this Association is gradually and steadily progressing . The opposition of capitalists , and the counter power of ill-designing men , put into operation to obstruct our movement , tend to increase the , interests of the , working classes , and to awaken within them a growingdesire to aneliorate their condition by a national organisation and consentration of their hitherto divided power . Instead , therefore , of opposition impeding our progress , and crashing the hopes of our confiding friends . it is binding them together more firmly , and infusing a spirit of active co-operation unequalled in the history of this country ; and , at the same time , itis creating us friends and advocates where
in less savage forms , will not occur before the inj ured feel compensated , and the wrong doers convinced , among ourselves . Yet , if any sueh faith exists within us , itis because we see man every day learning to love his brother , not scorn him ; because we see the great listening patiently to the lowly , and not calling his simple earnest protest , a _rigmarie . ' And in referring to a public meeting held in Macclesfield , and addressed by Messrs Parker & Humphries , he says— ' To recur to Monday ' s meeting : —Is there , or is there not , an immense organisation going forward ? Will the calling of its utterances , be they ever so humbly uttered , a rigmarole , reduce its power or appease its spirit ? Must there not be something done ? What can you do ? This—tbis onlyremove the ground from under its feet , and it sinks forever . *
We have heard it said— ' But if the men combino throughout the empire , cannot the masters afco ? Oi course they can . But what will that combination amount to , ii ever the nation should loose its self-government ? One against a hundred . ' Thus , is the press beginning to defend our principles and advocate our claims , and the justness of our cause , wben attacked by the enemy of the industrious classes ; and the great British League of Operatives , ast he editor designates the National Association , is rapidly extending its principles , augmenting its numbers , and swelling its immense moral power . And we feel convinced , that when the power of the people is once fairly organised in one great national consolidated union , the rights oflabour will be conceded ,
and tlte toiling millions enjoy the fruits of tbeir in . dustry ; and , it is only by such a union thatthe working man will be able to command a fair and equitable remuneration for his labour . For satisfied are we thatthe master class , who accumulate their fortunes out of the hard-earned pence - of the working classes and rise in opulence and wealth , _wrencked to a considerable extent from the repeated reductions on the price of the honest work man , —we feel satisfied that this class of men will withhold the rights of industry , and retain a despotic power over the toiling multitude as long as they can . If the oppressed must be set free , they must free themselves . They , the working classes , must lake tho sword of liberty , and proclaim labour ' s emancipation , or oppression will Bink them still lower and lower in the pit of wretchedness
and destitution . This the working classes can do . They can effect their own redemption when they like , without theaid of physioal force ; and raise toa proper standard the price , of labour without violence or tumult , simply by organising themselves in one great anion , comprehending eve ry class . of operatives , for their mutual protection , and for the preservation of wages . A national association we conceive to be the only safe and effectual method of resisting the aggressions of capita ] , and of securing to the labourer a just portion of the wealth he _pYoduccs . The present Association has done . more to accomplish this , than any of its predecessors ; and what ithas done , will sink into utter insignificance , compared with what it will do , when its entire machinery shall be brought fully . into operation .
We know that some people are disposed to grumbla because the . National _Asssciation has not done more for _warking men than what it has done , They seem to expect the Association to perform all that tho rules point out , without for a moment stopping to consider that it is only an infant yet ; and that to require it to _fiaht with the strength and ski 1 of a full-grown man , isnotonly impossible , but absolutely unreasonable . Give it time , and it will unfold a power , as never yet was wieled for Labour s redemp . tion . A power that will be irresistible ia its operation : and astonish surrounding nations with the
extent and magnitude of its peaceful and bloodless victories , and triumphs overthe cupidity and selfishness ofthe oppressors and evil doers . But we say , do not expect impossibilities of a child-rather nurse it , and witb the greatest care and attention , aid it in acquiring strength , and to develope its growing power j and eventually the happy issue ofour Great British League of Operatives' will make happy homes for the distressed and destitute , and prooure i ' or labour a lair and good living . We say , then , give the Association time to grow—do not cxa ' ottoo much from _BoaiuittWoand so promising nit Infant , and . depend upon ic , W * _shaii two , it We faint hot ,

These families , with the others , are all living in the open air . with the cold ground for their bed . and heaven their only canopy , and without fuel in the midst of plenty .

What man , woman , or yes , a child , can read the above ; and sleep , until he has remitted something for this persecuted and brave people ? Some of you may say , • Charity begins at home , ' but are these men your brothers—are the wives and families to starve , in consequence of that accursed and selfish spirit , too much manifested ? Away with these narrow ideas . You have a bed , think of the poor Scots in" the fipld . You have a meal a day , think of these poor families in their tents . Send them a little ' manna '—give them a little help . It is the duty of a man ; it is the duty of christians : yes , the heathen will assist the
heathen in distress . Alfred the Creat divided bis last loaf with tho poor—follow his example . If you claim relationship to Britons , assist Britons in poverty .

Douglas , Aug . 24 . —Mr Peel reported , having attended a meeting convened by placard of the trades of Douglas , in tho large room of the Wellinstonhall , which was attended by nearly five hundred of tbe tradesmen and working-classes of Douglas . Mr M'Gowan , shoemaker , moved that Mr William Daniels take the chair .
Mr Daniels addressed the meeting , congratulating them at the prospect ofa movement of so important a character as that alluded to inthe placard being introduced into the Island . He showed by facts , within his own experience , how beneficial union _, when based on sound , equitable principles , had proved to those who had adopted them . He particularly alluded to the great improvement which had heen effected in the condition and prospects of that numerous and important body he had the honour of being connected with . He said he should have great satisfaction in giving all the assistance in hu power to promote it 3 introduction into the Isle of Man . He would not occupy their time at any great _len-tli , as Mr Peel , member ofthe Central Committee of the National Association , was prepared to give tliem a full explanation of its _objects and principles . After a few more appropriate observations he concluded ,, amidst much applause ,, by introducing Mr Peel .
Mr Peel , on raising , was greeted with strong marks of satisfaction . Ue assured them how much pleasure he felt in having an _opjaortunity of _introducing what had not- been unaptiy termed ' The Monster Movement , ' into their beautiful and rapidly improving I-land . He referred tothe _improwaient which was already visible , and wbich might he considered only the- commencement of that gradual , yet certain extension in the commercial ami t rading operations of the Island ,, which might bo clearly traced as the first fruits .. of those fiscal measures which had recently been passed through , _t _^ _e valuable exertions of their friend ' ,.

to assure those gentlemen of the middle class , many of whom he saw round him , that their interests were deeply involved m tbe welfare ofthe working _cl-sses ; he assured tbem it was his most earnest desire to see the cord- of sympathy drawn closer between these two classes who were natural allies . He reminded tbem that a fall of two or three _shillings per week on the wages nf the working man caused an ineonvenience iri their bill at the week's end . lie trusted , and , indeed , he knew , from his past experience , that a great change had taken place in tbe opinions of the most enlightened of both of these classes , and there were enlightened men , and to a very considerable extent too , among even the working classes . He then went into various illustrations to show the operations ofthe National Association , which gave great satisfaction to the meeting . After a long address he thanked them for the attention they bad listened to him with , and withorew amidst geseral and loud applause .

?—National Association o » _FNiracn _Tbaoes . — On Monday evening last , a meeting of the operative classes of tbis toivn was held at tbe Public Cf & ce ,. Moor-street , forthe purpose of hearing from Mr Humphries , of London , an explanation ofthe principles and objects ofthe ' National . Association of United Trades . ' From tbe eloquent address of the above-named gentleman , it would appear that the primary object of ! tbe Association was to do away with the old system of _tr-adts' unions , or ra . ther Incorporate them into one great nnion , to the privileges of wbich all trades would be admitted ; and , whilst tbey considered this in ltBelt an ndvantaga over tbe old system , they had also another In tke mode in whicb they settled the differences betwixt tbe employer and the employed . Instead of the workmen endeavour * ing to gain their just rights , or resist oppression hy a
1 strike , ' which bad always been found to be injurious to both parties , more er less , they proposed to decide the matter in a more efficacious way ; namely , by setting up an _opposition trade in the same towa , to be _oonducted by tbe workmen whom the Association had reason to believe were really oppressed . This was to be accomplished by a central fund ofthe oontributions of the members of tbe Association . This novel plan of settling such matters had already been _satisfactorily tested in many towns , both in England and Scotland , and it was found tbat the tbreit was _generally sufficient in obtaining for tbe operative bis rights . Mr Humphries entered into many interesting _detailB , and- the meeiing appeared to approve highly of the objects ofthe _Association . Addresses were delivered by Mr John _Tara , the chairman of the meeting , and ethers friendly to its objects . "
On Tuesday , September 1 st , Mr- H . returned to the Potteries , to exert himself to effect an adjustment of the strike among the crate makers ; . and is happy to say that the affair has every appearance of being speedily settled to their advnnt . ige , many of the masters having already given tbe price , We say to the crate makers , be _steady and persevere , and , having onee obtained your price , see that you hold it fast , and let no one take it from you . ' Your position is such , ns is not equalled in any other trade in thecountry . "Sou have only tostick together like men , and you will be able to retain the advantage ; yeu are steadily and successfully accomplishing .
WiUeshali ,. —On Septembfir tae Srd , Mr Humphries attended a meeting oi the locksmiths and key-forgers of that town . Mr II . showed the adaptation of the National Association to meet the wants of those trades , and as it regarded the _Emplayaient Association , tbey could os soon , and as- easily give _employment to their trade , as any other-trade in this country , however com * plicated and _intricate it might be . But , at the same timo , the Association did no * wish to enter into any manufacturing or commercial speculation , unless they were forced into it , by the- oppressive and tyrannical _measures of unprincipled _employers . Thc speaker then directed attention to tho Holytown aff . iir , ond urged upon the meeting the necessity of their individually co * operating with the Central _Cbramittee , to procure assistance for tbe noble men of Scotland .
