\ J BRISTOL . PUBLIC MEETING OF TRADES DELEGATES , HELD AT THE BUSTLE AND BALL , ON THURSDAY EYEA'ES'G , NOV . 18 . It « u unanimously resolved that Mr . John Seunp take the chair . Mr . John Price , jtau , Secretary to the operative matons , laid before the meeting a fair and full statement of the conduct of Mr . Allen , ¦ which led to the strike of the operative masons in the employ of Hem GriMeD and Peto , at the New Hoaaes of Paritazeeat , London . Mr . "Whu Fowler was then catted upon , wno read tbe correBpondenee between tbe masons and Messrs . Griaell and Peto , which ¦ eemed to decide the s&uffilng , evasive , and ineonatotent character of Allen . The Chairman then called upon tbe delegates from the various trades to stite their opinion * upon what had bsen laid before them .
Tbe Delegate from the Operative' Carpenters in General Union felt himself proad in having tbe honour to l * y before tbe masons tbe following address agreed to at a gtneral meeting of the body .
TO THE OPEBATIVE MASONS 15 THE XTSIOH . We , the carpenters and joiners in general onion , at a spatial meeting held this 9 th day of NovenitDr , having dnly considered all drcumstanoea connected wiih your strike , or rather torn-oat in London , are unanimously of opinion that the conduct of Allen wts of a usurp ing , overtsaring , and tyrannical nature , and that the men who left the employment of Messrs . GrUsell and Peto on that account are deserving our sympathy and support ; we , therefore , hnmbly present you with the sum ol £ 10 , regretting that ttwsum is so small ; bat not knowing how soon a similar attack may be made on our own camp , we are forced therefore to act with sjl due caution , and a limited liberality , or toe amount would b 3 larger . We hope that it will be sufficient to
convince yon that we coincide with tbe decisive steps yon have taken , and will at all times do our best to assist in opposing the tyranny and oppression of such men as Alien ; and more particularly when the men act ri yon have done—peaceably and judiciously ; and we bav » no doubt that frith the co-operation of yoor brethren , you will ever stand formidable against your enemies , not only against tyrannical employers , but r . * sinst those dastardly and unprincipled masons , as they term themselves , that have attempted to do your work . But thanks to God , their base attempts have been frustrated , aad ever will be , « o long as you stand firm to yourselves—no division in your cunp . We remain , yours , The Operative Cakfejitebs akd Joikeks
in Union in toe City of Bristol . Signed in behalf of tbe meeting , William Moses , Chairman . Thos . Bow ret , Secretary . After thanks had been givan to the operative carpenters and joiners in mricrt for their kind address , delegates from the following trades , gave in their reports , namely , cordwainers , brushmakers , corkcutters , local masons , coopers , sawyers , smiths , tinplate workers ; the delegates from tht smiths giving a voluntary subscription from that body * f £ 2 . Mr . Langford , delegate from the boot and shoemakers , made a very excellent appeal in behalf of the rights of the working men . It was then proposed b 7 Mr . Clifton , seconded by Mr . Copp ,
11 Thit we are of opinion thai after the fall and Mr statements with respect to the masons at present on strike , that they acted as men , and are deserving the est : ; m and respect of the operatives of Bristol ; and on the other hand the conduct of Mr . Allen is deserving the reprobation of every honest man . * Carried ananimoasly . Mr . Siiieok proposed , and Mr . Battle seconded , " That this meeting condemns the conduct of those individuals whe have been so unmanly and unprincipled in supplanting those muons who have left the employ of Messrs . GrisseU and Pcto , in consequence of the overtsaring and tyrannical conduct of George Allen , their foreman at the Ne - Houses of Parliament ; and we furthtr trust , those serfs will in dna time mest with that contempt and reproach vrtiich their nnmimij conduct so well deserves . " Carried "unanimously .
After several very severe animadversions on the press by various speakers , it was then proposed by the Delegate from the operative carpenters and joiners , and duly reeoBded by Mr . Jones , " That with regard to the present strike of the masons in London , the conduct of a certain portion of tbe press in that city gives us no very great surprise , u we believe that the . majority of the . press in this country is bound to support the interests of the capitalists before that of the working man , but from henceforth we are determined to withdraw our support from those papers which do not come boldly out for the rights and interest of the working classes , and we beg diitinctiy to be understood , that we consider the Dispatch , the London Times , and Homing Advertiser to bare taken the part of Messrs . GrisseU and Peto against the masrns . "
A vote of thanks -were then proposed to Messrs . Hill and Hobtcr . for having opened tbe columns of the Northern Star to the advocacy of the rights of the working men ; to the Chair man for his conduct in the chair on this occasion , and the meeting was adjourned until that night week , at eight o ' clock .

SHEFFIELD . ( From our < ncn Corespondent . ) The Polish RETOLraox . —By announcement in another part of the Star , h will be seen that the Sheffield Chartists intend holding a meeting on Monday next , tbe 29 th instant , in commemoration of tbe Polish Revolution . We trust upon that occasior . the democrats of Sheffield will -not fail to attend . Whilst we struggle for our own rights , we should not be unmindful of the rights of otherp , and the strangles of other nations to establish that liberty which God gave as the universal heritage of all mankind . Claiming the sympathies of the human race for ourselves in onr preseut righteous contest , we should be ever ready to extend our own sympathy to the patriots of other nations who may have braved the battle-field , and may bear the exile's chain only because they sought what we seek—the triumph of justice , and the enfranchisement of their father-land .

A public meeting was held on Friday evening , at the Working Man ' s Hall , Circus-street , Marylebone , to hear an address from the Irish patriot , Brouterre O'Brien . Mr . Naglb was called to the chair , xnd in a brief and pithy manner opened the prooeedings . Mr . Savage , in an appropriate speech , moved the adoption of the following address to her Majesty the Queen : —
•• Mat it please tour Majesty , —We moat respectfully tender to your Majesty our congratulations on your safe delivery from the perils of nature , and on the auspicious birth of a eon , destined in all probability to be tne future King of these Realms ; while we , in common with the other classes of society , do rejoice in the hope that thin event may prove a blessing to the nation , vre earnestly desire that your Majesty may be pleased U mark this happy occasion by the exercise of mercy to the political prisoners now under
punishment lor a violation of the laws of this land . We humbly beg to assure your Majesty that the muchnc ^ Ucted , much oppressed , loug-aufFeriDg , but very numerous class of tbe community to which we belong , having to gain our livelihood by the individual exerci& » of our labour , would hail tlia return of Frost , Williams , and Jones to their native country , and the free pardon of all political offenders , as a boon never tt » be forgotten , and would raise millions of voices in prci > sr and praise to almighty God for blessings upon your Majesty and your children to all generations , "
Mr . Lees , in an eloquent speech , seconded the address , which was put by the Chairman , and carried unanimously . Mr . O'Bhien then came forward and was loudly clieered . He said—Men and Women of Marylebone , 1 have been requested to come up to London to assist its working men in carrying out the " new movement" against those who oppress and burden them . Durir ' g the last forty-five days I have addnssc < l forty-one great public meetings ; 1 have travelled through the counties of Yorkshire , Westmorek id , Lancashire , and Cheshire . Every where 1 have found a spirit of zeal existing ; true , thero is not that intense feeling of excitement which at one time characterised the movement , but it is a
spirit of steady , well-regulated zeal , whioh promises still better for tho cause . Wherever I have been I have found great distress existing ; wages have been reduced to an enormous extents they are not receiving , in m ; my of the manufacturing towns , so much as in 1828 . In Hudderefield , for work which they then received 5 & , they now receive only 2 | U . In Wigan , Colue , Stockport , < fco the bandljom weavers are labouring twelve or fourteen hours a day for from 4 s . to 6 s . per week , and thousands cannot , even at that rate , procure employment . The only towa which u an exception to this ib Todmordtn , a little town , partly in Lancashire , and partly in Yorkshire ; here their wages were comparatively good , averaging about 6 s . 9 J .,
and this they chiefly owe to the ueneiicont exertions of Mr . Fielden , ALP . ; and when we find that the only town where wages are at all kept up , is that where they are under the employ of a Chartist Member of Parliament , it argues stron ^ y in favour of a general adoption of onr principles . Mr . Fielden is one of the larteat manufacturers in that part of the country . 1 have seen 1 , 058 looms at work in one of his factories ; the distress which prevails is so great and dreadful , that something must immediately be done . At Stockport the spinners are not employed half time , and aro only receiving 17 s . for labour for which they formerly received £ 2 . In Carlisle a deputation of the weavers waited on me , assuring me that their wages were only 5 s . 2 d . per week , and out of this they bad to pay Is . for rent of loom , and to pay 2 d . in the shilling for winding . It is impossible
that these men , by » By exertions , could keep out of a workhouse , were it not that their wives and ohilr dren were compelled to be factory slaves—compelled to do men ' s work to eke ouv their miserable subsistence . Men of Marylebone , during my imprisonment I had determined to leave this country , and retire toiAmerica—not to abandon the movementthat I never will do but with life ; but to do there for the cause what I cauld not do here . I . have seen so much of apathy on the part of the people—so much treason on tho part of the leaders , that 1 became almost hopeless of effecting any good . F 01 tho lost ten years I have kept strusniing against ever > species of opposition ; I have Deen more opposed by those of my own order than even by our buterest enemies . ( A voice—** By worku . *; men V ) No , not bv working men , but men of my own gr < ide in

eooiety-r-men who come amongst you—who seek your meetings to divide and eow jealousies amongst you . Y 6 u mast get rid of these -men ; they usurp the allegiance due to principle alone . Look at the old Convention ; one-half deserted the cause , the other half were employed In calumniating each other—tbe half of which were either rogaes or foola One party were a set of moral-force humbugs , the other physical-foree fools . The only good measure which would have ensured suecesa , that which I proposed to them , which was the plan of forming electoral clubs , they rejected . Mr . O'Brien here entered into along detail « f the doings of the old Convention ; Btating that he had opposed the National Holiday—that he advised the people of
Birmingham not to meet in the Bull King , and yet he was made the scape-goat of the party , and was called the most violent man of the age , through the follies and treachery or those who bad deserted them . When I read in the Sim newspaper at Newcastle of the massacre of the people of Birmingham , I advised them to arm ; to arm to the teeth , but to be cautious not to use their arms , unless a similar attack was made upoa them . I told them they had a right to the possession of arms , but they had no right to bring them to meetings or to parade them in the streets . They were for the defence of their homes and their property ; but when a set of irresponsible magistrates acted in defiance of the laws , as they
had done at Birmingham , then they had a perfect right to use them anywhere or everywhere , rather than see the many slaughtered by the few ; and for this advice I was tried . On my first trial I got acquitted , after a three hours' orosa-examintion , clearly proving the perjury and inconsistencies of the witnesses . But at my second trial at Liverpool , I was convicted on an indictment , charging me with obstructing the due exercise of the laws , resisting the constituted authorities , and breeding ronts , riots , ar > d rebollion ; convicted by twelve middleclass jurymen , for making a speech as strictly legal as was ever spoken in that "honourable house , '' the HouBe of Commons , On the foreman of the jury being asked if they agreed on their verdict ,
without , a moment ' s hesitation , he answered , "Yes , my Lord , Guilty , guilty ; " and that with a Toioe which seemed to say he should like to execute as well as to convict me . One of these jurymen , and I believe the same one , had previously said it was nonsenso to try these Chartists—they had ought to be shot or hung at once . What chance had I o * ' a fair trial , with euoh a jury , when Captain Plunket and his companions were clearly proved to have done that with which I was only accused of breeding routs , riots , and rebellions . The Jury hesitated eix hours , and then accompanied their verdict with a recommendation to mercy . I for making a good speech , received eighteen months ' imprisonment , and , before I could regain my
liberty , had to find bail for £ 800 . They , for actually bringing the soldeirs in collision with the police , one was let off at the expiration of three , the other six months , whilst a poor man of the name of Cronan , for a similar assault upon a policeman , is now enduring hiB sentence of three years' imprisonruent . ( Shame . ) Mr . O'Brien then entered into an interesting detail of his arrests in London , and of tho manner in whioh the Jury , at Liverpool , had been prejudiced against him—of the scandalous manner in whioh he had been misrepresented in the press , and stated tho manner in whioh he had been misrepresented , even in the papers with which he had himself been connected ; paragraphs having been inserted as Editorial comments , which he had never
seen until they appeared in print . Suoh was the difficulty to conduct a truly honest paper , that if you surmounted all the difficulties of sureties , &c , even your own printer would turn traitor to you . This was bad enough from your enemies , but you did expect better treatment from your friends . There was one circumstance he was sorry to mention ; but justice to himself compelled him . If he was continually to be harassed in this manner , he would leave the country . He would not be made a tool in the hands of any patty ! and he called upon the people to protect him . i have seen Dr . M'Douall this evening , and he informs me of a paragraph in the Northern Star , written condemning a portion of the address tome at the Crown and Anchor , on Monday last . If any one is present , who was at that meeting , and I see that the chairman of that meeting is present , I call upon him to state whether I did not repudiate
the address . ( Cries of " yes , you did . ") Its effect would be to oppose me to O'Connor . This no power on earth shall ever do , unless O'Connor leaves the rauks of the people . I will never be O'Connor's slave—I will never be his enemy . So many false statements have gone abroad respecting what I said and wrote , that I call upon you to believe nothing written by me unless you see my name to it . Out of the fifty addresses presented to me , the only two I have rejected , the one at the Crown aud Anchor , and the other at Huddersfield , are the only two that have found their way into the Star . I repudiated them both . I will not have my character raised at tho expence of another . I call upon Mr . Nagle , as Chairman of that meeting , to state whether I did not disclaim the address—whether I would allow it to be put to the meeting .
Mr . Naqlk—You did disclaim it ; I intend writing to the Star to that effect . Mr . O'Bkibn—I request that you will . Mr . Na « le—I was on the Committee , and an address was brought before us , which we approved of ; but by some means there was a difference in the address when it was read at the Crown and Anchor . How I can't say . Mr . O'Brien entirely denounced the address , and tore it to pieces . Mr . O'Bkikn—Oar friend has eommitted a trifling error . I did not denounce the address , but repudiated it . Parties who try to do me more than justice , and others less than justice , do me a serious injury . No doubt it was done with a friendly intent , but such friendship is more dangerous than
enmity . If I ever oppose O'Connor , it shall be opposition to principle , and not to the man . Mr . O'Connor if * the only man who has ever established a real Radical newspaper ; he bas rendered the most brilliant services to the cause , and I will never be induced to oppose him unless he doserts his principles . ( Mr . O'Brien here stated the immense difficulties he had experienced in endeavouring to establish a paper , and the reasons of their failure , instanoing that in St . Pancras , out of thirty-five news agents , only two could be induced to sell his paper , aud one of these only dare do it in a private manner . ) I feel therefore the necessity of supporting a paper , when once We have it iu existence . It is my solemn conviction that if the Northern Star soes down , the
movement will go down . I consider that man to be my most mortal enemy who would attempt to bring me in collision with Mr . O'Connor . I do not agree with many things he has said or done . I did not agree with his pro-Tory policy at the late elections . I differed from principle with him , and though in prison I put that policy down . I appeal to Mr . Hogg whether I did not suppress the attempt made by a friend the other evening at the Chartist Hall , Old Bailey , to bring me into a similar collision . It has been stated tbat I am at the head of getting up this subscription for a press ; it is as false as a similar statement going through Scotland , that I am a confirmed drunkard : I am neither at the head nor the tail of it . I considered that address not only as an insult to Mr . O'Connor , but also to the Dundee Chronicle , Scottish Patriot , and other papers . I do not wish to dissuade any one from starting another paper ; there have been papers
as good as the Star , but they have not contained so much Radical news ; but it is madness to bring parties into collision who should march together ; it is evident that some parties wish to injure me through the Star % or the Star through me . It shall never be said O'Brien raised himself on the ruins of another man . I might make £ 1500 a year by my profession as a lawyer . I renounced all to advance the cause of the people . ( Cheering . ) I call upon the person who sent the address , and the person who sent the report , to write immediately to the Star , that justice may be done me next week . I shall myself write to Huddersfield to inquire how that address went to the Star , I never sent an address myself . I am not fond of puffing myself . I ask those persons who sent the report and the address , and they are now in the room , to inquire how the only two addresses I have rejeoted found their way to the Star .
Mr . Wheeler , London Correspondent to the Star , explained , ihat in consequence of Mr . Carrier ' s benefit taking place on the same evening as the Crown and Anchor meeting , he was not able to attend , but Mr . Cleave engaged a person to report , who had done so , but the address being rejected , he bad not sent it ; it bad been sent by some other person . Mr . O'Brien . —I cali upon you , as authorised a sent , to see that I have juBtice done me next week . It unfortunately happens tbat I am either reported by fools , who cannot understand the subjects I am speaking upon , or by knaves , who are interested in calumniating me . I have for the last nine years been made a victim of these collisions . I have been incessantly annoyed by moral force humbugs or physical force rascals , and if we do not keep strict watch we shall be split again into sections by these parties . They denounced me a coward beoause I was not suoh an ass as to give the Government a
months notice we intended to put the Government down ; to give the manufacturers a month ' s notice we intended to pull down the system by whioh they had raised their wealth . I opposed every violent motion on that Convention , as the Minute Book shows ; y et am I denounced as a violent blood-thirsty demagogue ; and why is this ? Because , as Lord Normanby says , I am the most dangerous of the lot . You know lam called tbe schoolmaster , aad by the papers I have edited , and the writings I have disseminated , I have made suoh scholars as Vjioent , Duncan , M'Crae , Lowery , and others whom I would pit as speakers , as men nderstanding the principles of government , against any in that highly respectable House of Commons . Before my time it was the fashion to lay all our grievances to a few , to this party in power , or the other party in power ; but 1 have taught the people to know that their grievances do not result from a few lords , priests , or

Cemmons being in power , bat from a whole class of the community being opposed to them . The only class of men identified with you aw the small afaopkeepers who Mvb by your pence j bat the interest of the Iarrie Bhopkeeper . of the manufacturer , 1 b as opposed to yours as light is to darkness . Their interest is to giro you as little wages as possible , and to purchase articles at the cheapest possible rate . If their interest to similar to yoors , how is it that they accumulate th « ir half million of capital , while you cannot procure the necessaries of life I" WKy , if toot interests are the same , have yon not progressed in && eqrf&l manner ! It is beeaus * yon haw not got the vote ; they know this is the remedy , and they
never will grant it you until they see you are prepared to take it . It was because 1 claimed for you a right to stand on the same platform with them that I was convicted by a middle-elate Jury ; I would not trust to the sense of a middle-class Jury for the meanest thing . Those men , who are capable of robbiag you of your rights , are capable also of robbing you of your lives , if you oppose their interest . An honest man of the middle class would not sit as a Juror upon a working man ; he would consider that his interest waa opposed to yonra—that bis wealth was procured out of yorir bones and sinews , and therefore he could not be impartial on any subject which affected the interests of his order . Bat with
the small shopkeepers the case is different ; it is their interest that you should earn plenty of money , in order that you may have plenty to spend : and if their skuUs were not so confoundedly thick—if a stupid class pride had not rendered them so insane as to be within one degree of Saint Luke ' s , they wonld , ere now , have joined with you . Mr . O'Brien then , in an able manner , went into the subject of the land and the currency questions . He trusted the day was not far distant when the most apathetic would catch the spirit of liberty . It is impossible men can much longer remain in sueh cruel poverty . All I dread is , that some villany will bring you in collision with the law . You must keep out of the reach of the law , because it is too strong for you ; but once create the moral union we are striving for , and the law will stand abashed
and confounded—will crumble to pieces before your gigantic power . Like the fable of the serpent biting the file , it will bring on itself its own destruction . In conclusion , I require every man and woman to sign the National Petition—get every one you come in contact with to sign it . Tell the shopkeepers where you deal that your duty to your family will not allow you to deal with them unless they sign that document . I reqaest the people here to inform others that the address was sent to the Star without my knowledge , that I objected to it , and tore it to pieces . I require the Reporter of the Star to insert my statement respecting it , and on a future occasion shall be happy again to meet with my Marylebone friends . ( Much cheering . ) Mr . Hogg moved , and Mr . Savage seconded , a vote of thanks to Mr . O'Brien .
Three cheers were giveu for the Northern Star , three for the Charter , three for signatures to the Petition , and a vote of thanks to the Chairman , concluded the business of the meeting . fin reference to this report , we have only to observe that we have made it a point , since Mr . O'Brien ' s liberation , to give every word sent to us of his movements . If , therefore , there bo any cause for complaint , it wiil probably be manifest who has it . A single line from Mr . O Brien , stating that the addresses to which he refers had been rejected would have prevented their insertion : we should have been very thankful te have tbe space occupied by them for other purposes . —Ed .

BRONTERRE O'BRIEN IN LONDON . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir , —Under the above heading , the Star of last week contained a report o [ the recent mooting , held at the Crown aud Anchor , for the purpose of welcoming Mr . O'Brien ' s appearance ia the metropolis . A laudatory aduresa to Mr . O'B . was embodied in that report , whioh address averred that '' there never was a press that really represented working men—that truly advocated their interests—tbat fearlessly and faithfully asserted their just claims in their fullest extent" ! To this extraordinary declaration , you , Sir , appended the subjoined , note : —
[ Surely , the author of this address mnst have forgotten The Poor Man ' s Guardian , The Destructive , The Twopenny Dispatch , The London Dispatch , The National Reformer , The Operative , and The Southern Star , all of which were successively under the entire management and control of the gentleman to whom this very equivocal compliment is addressed ! not to mention The London Mercury , of -which he was joint Editor , and the Northern Star , in whose columns he has always written , in defence of the people , whatever he pleased . Wo feel somewhat surprised that Mr . O'Brien should have received an address of which this sentence formed a portion . ]—Ed . N . S .
Mr . O'Brien having subsequently repudiated the sentiments of the address , and , moreover , publicly affirmed that he declined its acceptance ; the nonnotification of which circumstance in the report of the meeting , partly lorma the subject of his complaint , the writer of this , as the party supplying that report , deems it necessary to afford the following explanation : — 1 . That in consequence of the O'Brien meeting being held { why is best known to its conveners ) , on an evening " previously set apart for a similar demonstration of sympathy , for another victim of despotism ( Mr . Carrier , ) " the regularly retained London Correspondent of the Star was precluded from attending .
2 . That the address , of the publication of which Mr . O'Brien complains , did net form a portion of tbe report as orujiualiy sent , nor was it atterwards forwarded to you by the reporter . In fact , the Reporter did not enter the meeting until after the presentation of the Address , and its teuor was first communicated to him through the Star itself . It , was merely intimated to him at the meeting that " * congratulatory address had been presented to the Schoolmaster at large , "' and he did not therefore in any other way allude to it in his report . What party , then , ought Mr . O'Brien to censnre for the publication of a document repugnant to his feelings personally ! Not the Reporter , for he was ignorant of the Address . Not the Ed itor of the Star ,
fer he did but afford publicity to that which was sent for insertion in his Journal . Had the Editor withheld that Address , it is more than probable that the party from whota ho received it , would have denounced him as being influenced by potty jealousy of the promised Bronterre ' . Press ! The individual , therefore , at whose request the Editor published the obnoxious address , can alone be said to be answerable for what Mr . O'Brien considers an insult . And who was that person ? Why , Mr . John Watkins , the author , as well as presenter , of the precious document ! That individual uow endeavours to shuffle from the responsibility of his own act , and to excite Mr . O'Brien ' s ire against the correspondent and Editor of the Star .
" I admit , " ssys-he , "that the address was sent by me to the Star-office , but then , it was only as proceeding from the O'Brien Press Committee . " Did he , however , intimate to the Editor tbat the address had been declined by Mr . O'Brien ? Certainly not . " The addres 3 of the Committee . '" Why , just refer to the punning reference to the u Crown and Anchor , " in the concluding paragraph of the-wouldbe eulogistio address , and theu answer whether that was not sufficient to induce the Editor to believe it the address of the publio meeting assembled at the Crown and Anchor Tavern , and not of a Committee meeting at the Dispatch Coffee House . " You ( Bronterre ) shall nave your reward iu the power to do us more good ; and to-night , in this auspicious room , with Us good omened name—in this propitious placs , far distant , far di ffere nt f rom your eighteen months' abode in the cold aud gloomy castle-cell of Lancaster—at the head of this generous ,
this glowing assembly , we Crown you , O'Brien , with joy ; for O'Brien ' s pre 6 d is the Anchor of our hope !" To say the least , it was " a very equivocal compliment" on the part of Mr , John Watkins towards Mr . O'Brien , to publish , under any pretence , this his ** BEJECTED ADDRESS . " The writer of this believes that the general accuracy of the brief report supplied by Him is not disputed by Mr . O'Brien , of whom personally he makes bold to declare he has proved himself a friend ; having , in fact , originated and energetically aided the attempt to establish tho late Southern Star—proposed a local fund ( Brighton ) , that during the entire eighteen months of Mr . O'B . ' 3 incarceration , regularly contributed towards the maintenance of Mrs . O'Brien and family , &c . Let not , therefore , the act of Bronterro ' s newly declared associate , Mr . John Watkins , be ascribed to an old friend , and , Sir , Your obedient Servant ,
The Reporter of tub London O'Brien Meeting . London , Not . 17 th , 1841 . [ The address was not Bent to us as the address of the Committee . We received it in a note from Mr . Watkins , of which the following is a verbatim copy : — M London , O'Brien Press Fund . " Nov . 4 . Mr . Nagle in the chair . " The following address was adopted : — " ( See enclosed address . )"
The statement that Mr . Nagle ww in the chair when the address was adopted , induced us nocessarfly to suppose that it most have boon adopted at the Crown and Anchor meeting , of which .. Mr . . Nagle was chairman : the more especially as we had no knowledge of aay other meeting of which Mr . Nagle had been chairman , and , as we received the report of the Crown and Anchor meeting by the same po&t . —Ed . N . S } . .. -- ¦ . ' ¦

CRIMINAL INFORMATION AGAINST THE *• NORTHERN STAR . " THE QUEEN V . WHITE AMD O ' CONNOR . The Attorney-General moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against George White , of Bromsgrove , for writing a false and scandalous libel , reflecting upon the character of the Rev . C . A . Anstev , one of the Masters of Rugby School , and against F . O'Connor , the proprietor of the Northern Star , for . publishing the libel in that paper . Tbe libel was contained in a > letter addressed to the Editor by George White , one of the defendants , and dated Bromsgrove , 30 th October , and which imputed to the gentleman on whose behalf the application was made , conduct of
a nature so atrocious , and so utterly base , that if it were true it could not be characterised in language too strong . The writer of the letter , after stating that as a proof that in this country there was one law for the . rich and another for the poor , said he would relate several instances of abominations committed by the parsons in the south of England , whioh clearly proved the rascality of the richer classes . The letter then went on to state that a certain poor hawker had , some time since , in consequence of his poverty , been obliged to send his wife and child home to her mother , at Rugby , and that she subsequently went into the workhouse , where she , unfortunately , attraoted the attention of a certain Rev . Gentleman , who was
a married man , aud one of the head masters of Rugby School ; that the hawker , having subsequently become enabled to maintain bis wife , applied to have her restored to him , but that the Rev . Gentleman , having determined to make her the victim of hiB improper desires , prevented her joining her husband ; that the hawker then appplied to the Guardians to discharge his wile and her child , and that on her discharge she was inveigled by the parson into his house ; that on the hawker threatening him with an action if he detained his wife , tbe parson discharged her from his own house and took another for her close to bis own ; and that be also induced the parish officers to make a claim against the hawker for £ 12 18 s . lid .
for the maiutonauoe of his wife , and that subsequently she had had a child by bis Reverence ; that after this the parson had offered the hawker money to live with his wife again , whioh he had refused to do , and that the parson had taken her before a magistrate to make her swear the child was her husband's , but that the magistrate had refnsed to administer the oath to her j that in order to prevent the husband from taking proceedings , the parson had procured bis imprisonment in Warwick gaol on one occasion for two months , on another for twelve months ; that the hawker would enter into an action against the parson , but he had no means ; and the letter concluded by asking whether Mr . O'Connor would take up this case , which
was another inbtance of the manner in which the laws were worked by the rich to matce the pcor subservient to the gratitication of their beastly appetites . Now his affidavits went to show that tho Reverend C . A . Anstey was the person alluded to in the libei ; and th « affidavit of the Reverend Gentleman and his wife went to show that some yearssinco they had taken a person named Ann Fearon , who had been married to an Irish hawker , and who had left her husband to live with her mother , in consequence of his inability to support her , into their service as an occasional servant : that she afterwards went to reside
with her mother , and that Mrs . Aastey having heard that her husband had returned , and was ill using her , to induce her to live with him , had gone , accompanied by Mr . Anstey , to the cottage of Ann Fearon's mother , and had found Fearon ill using her ; that Mr . Anstey had remonstrated with her , and recommended her to come and live quietly at Rugby , whioh Fearon said he could not do , as he owed the parish officers money ; that thereupon Mr . Anstey had offered to speak to the parish officers on the subject , to induce them to take the money by instalments , which he bad done , and had written to Fearon on tbe subject .
Mr . Justice Wiohtman—He denies all the imputations I The Attorney-General—He does , my Lord . — The Learned Attorney-General then proceeded to contend tbat it was a duty Mr . Anstey owed himself , the school , and his country to come forward and clear himself of those imputations , which had been cast upon him merely for a political purpose . Rule granted . —Sun , Wednesday .

UPPEil WORTLET . —The lads at this place have taken a room for meetings , and are progressing stead : Jy . A meeting was held on Wednesday evening , to adopt the National Petition , which was done unanimously . Mr . T . B . Smith had been invited by the Council to attend , and supported the petition in an able and eloquent speech , in which he exposed some of the atrocious evils of the present system , with unsparing severity , and proved by unanswerable arguments , the right of the whole people to the
franchise , and the other rights demanded by tbe petitioners . A new effective plan has been adopted here for signatures , vrbich we hope will b « adopted in other places . They have got a hundred copies of the Petition , which they leave one day at so many houses , and then change them , asking for signatures when they call for the petitions . This plan enables the family to read and consider the contents of the document , and the signing of the Petition becomes not a matter of impulse but of deliberate judgment . —Correspondent .
