Harrison having beeu appointed to lake the chair , the Secretary . lead the raiuutea of the last meeting . A L-ngthy didcu& > iou took place respecting electing a delegate to ih © tbrthc « saii \ K Convention , when it was decided that it should be deferred until Mr . O'Brien ' s arrival , as they recognised no other representative , either in the House of Commons or the Convention , tkau Mr . O'B . The following resolution was agreed to unanimously : — Moved by Mr . Sinclair , seconded by Mr .- Crothers , "That the Newcastle Charter Association present a memorial to tho Secretary of Slate for the Home Dopartment , respectfully requesting him , in his appointments of gentlemen to the Commission of the
Fcaoc , not to forget that there are Chartists in this locality as capable of performing the duties of that important office as any yet appointed , or any of her Mnjesty ' s subjects . " Mr . Sinclair was appointed to draw up that address . The following notices of motions were then announced to be brought forward on next Monday evening : —By Mr . Cockbutn" That a Debating Society bo formed in connection with this Association , and arrangements entered into for the immediate carrying out of the same on this night week . " By Mr . Kirke— " That an address be 6 ent from this Association to Sir Frederick Pollock , congratulatory of his appointment to the high office he now holds , aud respectfully requesting him to use his influence , in tbe proper quarter , to procure tho immediate return of those ill-used patriots , Frost , Williams , and Jones . "

Ico ., and also to grant a free pardon to Frost , WiiliamB , and Jones , and the liberation of all political prisoners ; but which the Mayorj ( being presiding officer ) declared to be lost , and the original resolution carried .
HUNSLET . —Thk Chabtist Pbess . —Means of "Extending IT 3 EFFICIENCY . —At a recent meeting of the Hnnslet Chartists , it was resolved unanimously , "That a Chartist Loan Tract Society be formed for Hunslet ; and that six districts , of fortyfive houses each , be laid out to be visited weekly with Chartist tracts ; the tracts to be the English Chartist Circular , from No . 1 to 46 inclusive , and chat six of each numbor , from 47 , be purchased wf ekly , in order to have a stock ready when the others have gone their rounds . ' This plan will be in operation almost immediately , and we beg to call the most Berious attention of
the Chartist public to the necessity and advantages of its immediate and -general adoption . We well know that a tract is often read where a conversation would not be allowed . Wo also know that much misrepresentation has gone abroad as to our motives aud principles , and thati much ignorance prevails both as to tho elate aad burdens of the couutry , and the characters and proceedings of the worthies of former times . Now , all this would be materially removed by the diffuiion of souud political knowledge ; and no work , taking its variety and price into consideration , is no well calculated to effrct these objects , on au extensive scale , as tho Circular .

Baker , Baptist Minister , gave out to his audience that there would be a meeting in the chapel on Tuesday night , to take into consideration ( 00 propriety of forming ft Branch Society to the great
League m Manchester , as he termed it . Accordingly , the Chartists of Todmorden , ever willing to hear reason , were determined to go ; and it' they thought that the League ' s Objects were preferable to their own , after they had fairly and calmly discussed each point , to give in . But lo I the fair-dealiog Whigs ( for they are virtually deserving of that name ) would not listen to reason ; they said they had no objectious against tho five points of the Charter ; that , in a moral point of view , they were just , and deserving the support of every good and reasonable man ; but that it would be better to get a repeal of the Corn Laws first , and then agitate for the Charter . There was one observation that the Rev . Mr . Baker made which is worthy .
of notice here—that he was aware that there was not a dissenting minister in England , but was favourable to the principles of the Charter ; tho lads allowed them to proceed without auy interruption , unt'l they submitted a resolution ; . then a working man in the gallery of the chapel , asked if they would allow him to state his opinion , but the liberty-loviiig humanity-monger , and fair-dealing self-elected chairman , Baker , uaid that he could not allow discussion there ; and if any opposition to the ; proceedings took place ho would immediately dissolve the meeting . Yes , said ho , you had better not get my fee ) ing 9 up , for if you do ; but bethinking him that ft would rot do to show his tyrannical disposition there , he said no more ; for there was not
more than a dozen persons there that wa 3 favourable to their nostrum ; and half of those were actually ashamed of tha prooe « diags . When ho saw that no way could be done but what would throw disgrace upen them , he called upon any one present to come forward and sign their aataes to become members ; there were just three that put down their names . The Chairman then dissolved the meeting . A person in the body of the chapel , informed the meeting that there would be a meeting in the Chartist room immediately , and wished all to adjourn thereto ; aud another individual then stated that if the
Repealers would go with them , they would give them a fair hearing , : aad would discuss their principles with them calmly and fairly . When this person had done apeak ing , three tremendous cheers were given for the Charter , and three dismal groans fox the League Clique . At the door of the chapel there were a many ot the oonstabtas in attendance . The meeting in the Chartist Room was ? very numerously attended , and there were some very good remarks made upon the condact of the Leaque generally- It was resolved to get up a tea party on New Year's Day , the profits to be giveu to support the next Convention .

Tho imports of foreign Grain have been to a fair extent since this day se nnight . Up to Thursday in the past week i he weather continued wet , but since then there hav been sharp frosts nightly , and the aspect is now very wintry and seasonable . The favourable change in the weather having caused the condition of the new Wheat to be already somewhat improved , our millers tookitoff more freely , and an advance of Is . per quarter was established on all cood qualities . A
similar improvement was demanded for free foreign , which was partially given for choice qualities , bat gener ally no advance was well established .

" Mr ? . Fox , another nurse in the house , on seeing the deceased , asked her if she had not slept there about a week ago , to which the deceased replied in the affirma tive ; when Mrs . Fox asked her why she had not before applied for an order for admission into the workhouse , to which she replied that Bhe had done so , but had been refused by Mr . Newsom , the relieving oflber . Deceased did npt Bay why Mr . Newsom bad refused her , nor did she say when or where ite had so done .

Witness immediately inquired if ehe had had anything given her , and found she had had some brandy . He instantly got the first conveyance he could procure , and had her brought to that
workhouse , vrhere she was immediately admitted . The persons around her appeared to be strangers to her , out when witness said he would send her to the workhouse , they said it would be of no use , as she had been there before and been refused admission .

Robert Hall Aocook , porter at the workhouse , proved that the deceased had two or three times been admitted for a night's lodging , but he never knew her to apply for an order of admission aud be refused .
