STOCKPOBT . TCESDaT , FITJE P . H , The determination not to resume labour without an advance of wages seems to gain strength from procrastination . Several of the mills opened on Monday moraing . At some of them ( usually employing from fire to six hundred hands ) eleven or twelve persons h ave gone In ; theaaare almos t exclusively Individuals ytho dare not refuse , saeh as oTerlookers and their families . The master * hare had recourse to all kinds of mean trickery and intimidation in order to induce the hands to return to their employment ; but all to no purpose . One of them , I understand , bought a parcel of old shairls and bonnets to hang in the factory
windows , and set the looms a-going "Without warps , bo that persons passingly the mill , hearing the noise and seeing the apparel in the windows , might fchinfc the binds were all at their work . Another of then haying aoma of hii serfs living in his houses , has threatened tkem with immediate expulsion , and prosecation for back rent , if they do not submit . The authorities take the most stringent measures to prevent the few knobsticks from being interfered with ; aoy person found doing eo , is -visited with the extreme penalties of the game that the children call •• Shinty" with the frogs , law . Large and enthusiastic meetings are held daily , ¦ which are addressed by Messrs . Ellison , Carter , Wild , and Clark , all of the Chartist Association .
MANCHESTER . The struggle between the power-loom weaTers and the manufacturers still continue with unabated vigour . Several of the smaller manufacturers have acceded to the demands of their work-people , and they have consequently resumed work . But the great majority of -the weavers are still perambulating the streets , without snj immediate prospect of the differences between them and their employers b « icg amicably adjusted . Is some of the larger mills a few cobsticks still remain at work , but have to be protected by large bodies of blues and specials .
BOROCGH-COVRT , TTESDAT , SEPT . IS , IS 42 . —This Hiorning , Msbsts . Tinker and Saddon appeared before Hr . Maude , the sitting magistrate ; when Mr . Beswick ¦ deputed one of his officers to inform the magistrate that he had been unable to procure any evidence against either of the defendants , upon hearing which hia worship ordered them both to be discharged forthwith . In this case two respectable individuals are dragged from the bosom of their families and confined for near three weeks in a prison , then admitted to exorbitant bail to appear upon a future day , and when that day arrives , they are gravely told that they are discharged for want of evidence . Truly , this is a beautiful specimen of British jurisprudence .
A report reached Manchester this morning that a serious disturbance had taken place in Staleybridge ; detachments of both cavalry and infantry were dispatched to that neighbourhood , but we have not , as yet , heard wkether their services have been require to quell the tumult . BSUTAL AND SANGUINARY ATTACK OF THE POLICE A > "D SPECIALS rPON A PEACEABLE MEETING OF POWER-LOOM WEATEES IN THE BROWJi-STEEET CHARTIST ROOM , ASSEMBLED FOE THE PCSPCSE OF DISTBIBtTISG THE FCXDS COLLECTED POK THEM BT IHE "VARIOUS TRADES .
About five o ' clock on Tuesday afternoon , as the ^ reavers were peaceably assembled for tte above purpose , they were attacked by about 350 blues and specials , under the command of Superintendents Beswick and Sawley , who , upon their arrival at the place of meeting , rushed into the room , and commenced an indiscriminate attack upon the persons assembled , whose numbers did not exceed one hundred . Having , with the aid of their valiant corps , secured the major portion of the persons thea in the room , they tied them together with handkerchiefs . This so exasperated the ¦ people in the neighbourhood . , who , by this time , had
assembled in considtrable numbers , that they gave Tent to their feelings by hooting , groaning , and other marks of popu ' ar indignation . Seeing this , the cowardly monsters began to be alarmed for their own safety , and proceeded te use their bludgeons most unmercifully , in order that the people might be provoked to retaliate ; and thus give them an oppoptunity to call to their aid the military , who are in constant readiuess- Having beaten several women and children se-Terely with their staves , and performing seme other glorious exploits , such as kickiag the dogs , &c , they marched their prisoners , fifty in number , to the New Bailey , shaking their bludgeons in triumph .
• W- ED 5 ESDAT HORSING . The weavers who "were apprehended yesterday at the Brown-street room , were brought up in the Borough Court for examination before D . Maude , Esq ., when the major portion were required to enter into their own recogcizinces to keep the peace and were discharged Oae or two were ordered to find bail for their appearance at the sessions , having been charged by the polio * with throwing stones at them while in the exercise of their duty .
MEETI 56 OF THE WEATEBS AT DBOTLSDEX . A meeting of this body from Aabtou , Dakiofield , Stockport , Manchester , and the surrounding towns , was fceld in the open air this forenoon , to take into consideration the best steps to be taken to get the hands out that have commenced working in two mills in Staley Bridge . Therecould not be less than 10 , 600 persons present The authorities having received information , a special train was dispatched from Manchester with a Etroag detachment of the foot guards to Ashton , and about half-past one in the afternoon , Mr . Snperintendent Sawley , with a large force of bines and specials ,
were ordered to proceed towards Droylsden ; they bowever took up their position on the banks ef the Restr-Toir belonging to the Manchester and Salford water works company , situate in Beswick near Holt Town , but having no opportunity * of displaying their prowess Ttpon the heads of the people who hold them in supreme contempt , the bines amused themselves by running after butterflies , and the specials exercised themselves in the knocking the poor little animals from one to the other with their bludgeons , and thus terminated the glorious campaign , so far as our borough was concerned . This ii literally a fact— Correspondent .
We have been Informed that the meeting adjourned from Droylsden to Ashton , but as soon as they entered the town , they were dispersed by the dragoons and foot guards .
WOLYERHAMPTOJf . The great majority of the colliers In this district still remain firm in their resolution not to go to work nnip <;« at an advance of wages . Numerous and various are * h % schemes resorted to for the purpose of entrapping the men , either by inducing them to go te work at the drop , or starving them out The whele of the den latterly employed in breaking stones at the Bastile , the majority of whom are colliers from Bilston , Willerball , and Wolverhampton , were oiled together this morning , and presented each of them with a n&te , part printed and part written , to the following effect : — Wolverhampton Union , Sept . 14 ib , 1 S 42 . For Mr . signature . I hereby certify that Thomas has applied to me for work , and that I have no employment for him . Signed Mr . .
~ Sovr , the poor distressed colliers , although they are described as a poor ignorant race of men , ( to the shame of the religion and humanity mongers be it said , } have sufficient discernment to know that their dismissal , under ruch pretences , is nothing more than an attempt to either make them work at what wages thtir tyrant masters t-hinlr proper to dole out to them , or £ tirve . It is true a faw miserable wretches , unworthy the came of men , have truckled to the " respectables , "' but they are a mere handfai Bat , to the honour and credit of the great majority of tte Bilston , WoV ? erhampton , and Willenball colliers be it said , they are deU ^ mintd not to go to work without an advance of wages .
A few n » ean- * pirited men , it appears , have been Wore my Lord Dartmoth , and his Brother Magistrates and stated they have been misled by the Chartists , but the great body of the colliers ( despite of the assertions of the Wolverhampton Chronicle and Slojfordshire Examiner to the contrary , ) consider the Chartists their best friends .

. CIRENCBSTER . —At the usual weekly meeting of Chartists on Monday , Mr . Wakefield in the chair , the following resolution was proposed by Mr . Beecham , seconded by Mr . Blowen , and carried unanimously . — " That we view with extreme pain the squabbles that have so long disgraced the Chartist body , convinced , as we are , of the great detriment which the movement has thereby sustained ; but believing that the remedy is in the hands of the people themselves , we offer to them the following suggestions . The immediate causes of the squabbles that have taken place , may be classed under three heads . 1 st Personal and private animosities . 2 nd . Differences of opinion on matters of policy relating to the movement 3 rd . Alleged distrust of the good faith of particular leaders . With the personal quarrels cf individuals the people should have nothing to do . Combatants , manual and Verbal will soon tire of conflicts , when not stimulated by the applauses of
partizms . When differences of opinion arise on questions of policy , they ought to be discussed with tamper and moderation and without personality . Each individual Chartist has an equal right to the expression of opinion and it is possible for two individuals to bold widely different opinions on questions of policy , and be equally true in their faith to the people ' s causa When , unfortunately , suspicion of bad faith , or treason , fastens on a person , his case ought to be investigated by a competent tribunal , and , pending the verdict of that tribunal , the people ought to abstain as much as possible from comment or judgment ou the matter . Resolutions condemnatory of individuals , passed by societies on erparlc evidence , and without hearing the accused in his defence , cannot be considered fair verdicts . A man ' s character is not less valuable than his life , nor ought that character to be destroyed on evidence less conclusive * h « n would justify the forfeiture of life . "

FALKIRK . —On Monday afternoon a public meeting of the working classes in snd around Tzlklrk was held In the washing-green , at tiro o ' clock . Oa account of the wetness of the day there was not ssch a torn eat as was anticipated . However , by the tinre of business , there could not be less thin five hundred . Mr . H . M'Lean , president of the Charter Association , opened the meeting with a neat and concise address on their present prospect ; and finally , exhorted them to stand by the Charter until they had gained their political redemption . Mr . M'Watters , secretary of the Association , then proposed the first resolution , — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the rapidly increasing tide of distress , which is involving all the industrious and commercial classes of society , is attributable solely
to the existing inequalities of a system -which essentially protects particular classes at the expence of the great body of the people ; that till all classes be placed on a footing of equality before the Laws of the country , the evils now so generally complained of will continne to grow , and at lost threaten national convulsion . That , in the opinion of this meeting , nothing short of the adoption of the Charter can avert tbe impending ruin of our common country , and that we pledge ourselves to exert all constitutional means for the accomplishment of that object" Mr . Lowrey , of Edinburgh , spoke to the purport of the resolution , in an eloquent style ; and it was carried with applause . Mr . Johnstone then proposed the second resolution , — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the disaffected state of ( he . country originates . and is caused by class made laws , and toe disregard of the People ' s Petition by the
Xegisiatnre ; ' -ana that ' nothing " ^ wi !! giro satisfaction to the nation till a thorough reform be made of the House of Commons . " Thie waa also carried unanimously aB well as the following : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that any strike , or cessation from labour , for an advance of wages merely , cannot produce permanent or salutary benefits to the nation , till once the people have a power in themselves sufficient to carry their object , and that this power is obtainable only through the medium of the People ' s Charter becoming the law of the land ; to get this enacted then , it is the opinion of this meeting that a National Convention should be immediately appointed to devise the best means of carrying out the principles of union and organisation , till the power of the people become irresistible against all the efforts of faction ia the obtainment of their political liberties . ''
GLASGOW . —Arrest of Wm . Ellis , of Staffobdshibe . —Treachery has done its worst in this instance . Confiding virtue has fallen a sacrifice to a love of gold ; but the wretch who baa acted " the Judas will not leave the work as Elite aid— lamented both by master and men . Ellis , to avoid the persecution raging against all those who had taken a leading part in the cause of Chartism in Staffordshire , and who could by any means be connected with the strike there , came down here , and immediately found employment with Mr . Thompson , potter , East Qallowgate . Here Ellis met with a number of countrymen , and amongst the rest a townsman of his own . To these men , every thing connected with the late turn-out in the Potteries was well known , as a number of th 6 m get the
Staffordshire Meixw-y regularly . I do not say that uny of these men are the guilty parties ; but the following appears very auspicious . Some of these have been corresponding with parties in Stafford sinse Ellis came here ; and one of them told , immediately on Ellis being arrested , that he had a letter two days previously stating that a warrant was issued against Ellis , and that they were coming to Scotland after him ; yet not the slightest hint was conveyed to the unsuspecti g victim . I offer no comment upon this ; I state the fact , leaving it to your readers to draw their own inference . So perfect was the information , that when Richardson , of the Gorbal police , along with an English officer , came to the wofka on Thursday afternoon , the 8 th inst , that they went to the very foot of the stair where Ellis was working , described the room where he wrought , and bis dress to the very neckcloth , adding ,
that only he and another man were in the roam where he was working . The foreman of his department , along with the manager , visited him in his cell that evening , and a number of his fellow-workmen attended at the Liverpool steamer on Friday , to see him go on board , but they were disappointed ; he did not leave Glasgow by her . Mr . Thompson , who is ot decidedly liberal opinions , is highly incensed at the treachery towards EIHb ; and says , if the slightest shadow ot proof can be obtained as to the scoundrel who committed tha foul deed , be will turn him out of the gate like a dog . I have no doubts but that tbe necessary proofs to place the guilty party , who is already well understood , beyond doubt , will soon be obtained ; then the cold-hearted monster will receive the ultimate reward of all traitors —the virtuous execration of an intelligent and indignant people . '•¦ ¦ ..
The interim Committee of the Glasgow Charter Association met on Thursday evening , tbe 8 th instant , when it was resolved to call a meeting of the Association on Monday evening , the 19 th current , in the Chartist Church , East Regent-street , for the purpose of appointing office-bearers , and to consider other important matters connected with the movements . NEWCASTLE ! . —Public Meeeting at Avenue Head . —Oa Saturday evening last , the Chairman having been appointed , Mr . Sinclair moved the following sesolution , which waa ably seconded by Mr . Rigbyat great length ; in the course of his address he showed the position in which the industrious classes of this country are place J , ably tracing all all the misery so prevalent in these realms to class legislation . After
Mr . R . had spoke for about an hour , a gentleman came up in a gig , tbe speaker paused to allow him to pass on , the gentltjman requested him to go on , that he might bear what he had to say . The speaker did so , in grand style , showing the amount of misery and wont to which the working population of England were reduced ; but when the speaker came to prove that the whole was the result of class legislation , the gentleman could not stand to hear tbe truth any longer , and started to swear like a trooper . A working man , who was seen to enter the crowd at same time with the gentleman , fired a fowling piece in the air , leaving no doubt in our mind but he was appointed by the factions with whom we have to contend to do so , to enable the gentleman to declare the meeting illegal . The Chair
man in very strong terms deprecated the conduct of the inan with the gun ; tbe whole meeting disclaimed any connexion with him , and all of them whom we intero ^ aced on the subject did not know him . The resolution was then put to the meeting , and carried unanimously : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the whole of the evils which infest the industrious classes of these realms are the result of class legislation , and do therefore pledge itself to agitate for nothing short of the People ' s Charter , in name and substance , as the only means of ameliorating tbe present distress . " This wa * one of tho meat peaceable meetings we ever witnessed , with tho exception of this gentleman (?) in the gig , and the man he brought with him to fire the piece .
Messrs . Gammage and Right addressed the Chartists in tbeir Hall on Monday evening with considerable effect CARLISLE-At a meeting of the Council of the Chartists Association held in John-street , Caldewgate , on Sunday ovening , Mr . John Armstrong in the chair , Mr . O'Connor ' s letter was read and taken into consideration . It was then agreed that every exertion be used on Saturday next for the purpose of raising a subscription fer the defence of the prosecuted Chartists . The Evening Star was read over , and the leading article was much applauded . Dr . M'Douall's farewell letter produced a deep ssnsation on all present , who seemed to commiaserate deeply with the Doctor ' s painful
situation , who has had to leave his native land through the merciless villany of the people ' s oppressors . It is much to be regretted that any of the leading Chartists should have involved themselves in tbe late movement , for they were sure to be singled out for prosecution , however trivial their crimes . Indeed , we feel confident that many who have been arrested have been guilty of no crime at all , except in having evinced a desire to see their fellow men emancipated from the thraldom under which they at present groan . There is an end to all law in this country , when honsBt and upright men are to he arrested and held over to appear , under most enormous bail , on the perjured evidence of spies and policemen .
BRADFORD . —CoL Thompson has kindly presented to the Chartist Election Committee a complete set of his works , recently published in six vola ., and another copy to their solicitor . The committee have added their acceptable gift to the Bradford Chartist Library . The thirst for political knowledge , despite the late " untoward events , " continues unabated , and the district associations are reviving their important avocations with redoubled zaal , prudence , and energy . STOCKFORT . —On Sunday eveninlng last , a lecture was delivered in the Association Room , by Mr . Thomas Clarke .
OLDHAM . —At the weekly meeting en Monday evening last , the Chartists of this town unanimously passed the following resolution : —•• That a public meeting be held in tbe Cartist Boom , Greate ' s-street , on Saturday , September the 17 th , for the pnrpose of aiding and defending the political prisoners , those on ball , and those that may hereafter be apprehended , who may have to take their trial at tbe forthcoming assizes at Kirkdale and Lancaster . All persons attending the above meeting are requested to pay one halfpenny or more , as circumstances will permit . The Evening and Northern Stars will be read on the occasion . To commence at seven o ' clock in the evening , and dose at ten . "

Having beard of his conduct in Beveral places which we cannot sanction , but rather reprobate , we wish it to be distinctly understood that be acts entirely on his own responsibility We also earnestly call upon the Chartists in all localities to insist " upon both him and every other Ucturer producing his credentials ; and to report the conduct . ot such lecturers as may stem diahononrabla for thefuture . " "

BR 0 THER 8 IN BONDAGE AND Iff HOPE , —We conceive it to be our duty to address you at this critical juncture in the affairs of this class-ridden country . Since last we met In your behalf , many have been the struggles in which you have bad to engage in your different localities . Though the conflict is trying , the contest is not doubtful , when a united people stand agftiast the aggressions of class-constituted tyranny . During these last few . weeks the monstrous power of Capital in the hands of the middle classes has been mure specially
arrayed against the hand that gave it birtk . After enjoying all the comforts of life , rioting in luxuries as the swine wallows in mire , the middle class , both Whig and Tory , have united all their power for the purpose of deprtviag the honest artizin , not only of the commonest comforts , but even those necessaries which make life desirable ; or rather bearable . The position in which we are now placed by the scheming of our oppressors * calls for prudence as well as courage on our part , that the pit . dug for our destruction may receive those who are a curse to our existence .
Our wives look at our progress with anxious eyes , and with feelings of anguish , ask how long shall the oppressors triumph ? Our children cry for bread , and when we meet to consult together , our oppressors give ua sticks , bludgeons , steel , and lead , and call upon us to obey the law . " When pinched with want all reverence they withdraw , For hungry multitudes obey no law . " So sung the Roman poef , and later experience has proved the truth of this sentence , and the only thing that keeps the present unjust laws of England in operation is the enormous physical farce powers of the ruling few and tho disunion of the working classes .
Under these circumstances it is most politic to keep within the pale of the law , if possible , though all must admit that this is very difficult , whilst what may be quite legal in one is treason in another unfortunate wight . The fact is , there is one law for the rich and another for the poor . Nothing can mor « clearly evlnca this than the conduct of the powers that be during the last six months . Whilst the tools of the rich Anti-Cora Law League were pouring forth their most inflammatory moonshine through the laud , advising the people to repeal the Corn Laws , even by tbe point of the sword ; to go in thousands and tens of thousands , and demand bread ; to destroy the bread-taxers root and branch Yes , these
" Bpeakers turbulent and bold , Of venal eloquence that serves for gold , And principles that might be bought and sold , *' went forth and endeavoured to cause a popular outcry against these obnoxious laws . Yet no war : ant 3 are issued f > r speaking sedition , neither arc they arrested for conspiracy . Even when the machinations of these man produced the late strike , so long as it was likely that it could be used for the accomplishing of the schemes of the Free Trade gentry , there was nothing but Bupport talked of by these lovers of fair play . No sooner do the brave aud honest trades of Manchester declarator principle , and the people in every part respond to tho call ; no sooner is tne breaking of the bands of the prisoner sounded , than all the middle class
unite : the press marks tbe victims ; tbe Government strong fn arms , sends forth the harpies of tbe law , to seize—spies , to concoct and convict ; and thus endeavonr - to stifle free discussion and ' put down Democracy . It is the duty of every Chartist to buckle on bis armour afresh , aid renew the fight with vigour and energy , until signal suceess Bhall crown our efforts . Lat us rally our force bo as to convince even oar oppressors that we are determined to achieve oar liberty in spite of every opposition , and that nothing short of political power to protect our labour will satisfy tbe working classes of this country . Tba pulpit and the press are teeming with calumny and abase against you and those who have honestly dared to support the rights ot labour
against the heartless aggressions of capitalists . The bar is showering torrents of misrepresentations to induce tbe middle class juries to convict your best friends , whilst the Bench is waiting with anxiety to dungeon and expatriate those who have possessed so much of the milk of human kindness as to lead them to declare for right against might . Let not tbese things discourage you , but rather stimulate you to make an effort to bring this unrighteous system of class legislation to an end . Do , all ysu can to ehew your sympathy with those who are victinr ' zsd on your behalf . Spare all you can for the support of their families and thereby cheer the inmate of the gloomy cell , and encourage others to beard tyranny hi its den . Spread the principles of Chartism , the principles of truth and justice
in your localities . Let every Chartist endeavour to make one convert , confirm one wavering mind , every week . W « would ask , is this too much for sevea days ? look round , kow many of your acquaintances are ignorant of true politics , ate careless about political pewer , are halting between two opinions . Here is a field for the extroise of every diversity of talent . Let none say he is not qualified ; but to work at once , for whilst we adm it the usefulness of lectures , and speeches , and resolutions , we confess that it is eack man doing his own work that must carry the People ' s Cbarfcor . It is necessary to send lecturers to break up the fallow grpunds . There is much of this
yet , and one part we would call your especial attention to at this time . Ireland has many , very many , things to impede the spread of th « pure principles of freedom ; and , though O'Higgins and his brave band , assisted by the Northern Star , have done much to dispel the mist from the minds of our brethren of the Sister Isle , yet there remains much to be done ; and , in our opinion , nothing is more calculated to produce that change so much desired than to Bend a man of sterling honesty to open the eyes of the blind , and to remove the veil of prejudice from -the minds of those who have been led to believe that the working classes of England were the enemies of their brothers , the working classes of
Ireland . If each locality belonging to the National Chatter Association wou ld subscribe only one penny per week , and sixpence as a first subscription to start the fond , we should have as much as would suppoit one man , and something over . In this way the principles of Chartism could and would be made known where they have never been heard of , only through a distorted medium . This can be done in a legal and constitutional way , without endangering one , or placing a burden upon the shoulders of any person . We feel the delicacy of calling upon yon for pecuniary support at this critical period of general distress , and when so many claims are made upon an impoverished people ; bat this subject has been before the people of South . Lancashire for two months , and they have confirmed the recommendation by commencing the fond , as they have a man they can confidently recommend for this work .
Mr . P . M . Bropby has consented to undertake this object as soon as there is sufficient in hand , to enable hint to commence his lectures in his native land . Some localities may be so situated as te be able to devote , a collection occasionally , after a lecture , to this great and glorious object ; aud thus tbe flag of freedom may wave with every breeza th at wafts across the green isle . All subscriptions for this object to be sent to Mr . James Cartledge , 34 , Lomaa-rtreet , Bank-top , Mancheater . And now , in conclusion , brother Chartists and friends , we trust that yon will press on t « the mark of your high calling , namely , the People ' s Charter , and that mure peace and prosperity to M » JWKfU | rMt | isu and much oppressed country . &Z * Vf O t / VrXtai Youn , in the bonds of ^^^^ TW ^ S The South T ^ MCAafa ^ Jj ^ gp ^ jy ^ ipsi S x ^ m HVJ .
