STKIK . B ax Rhticot Ibon Wo £ xs . ^ -A eonsiderable degree of alarm was created in Merihyr Tydvil , on Monday night last , by an express arriving , requiring the presence of Wm , Thomas , Esq ., ( s > magistrate of ihe place , ) and the newly established police force . It appears that » general Birike of tbe workmen had taken place , and that the whole of the works had consequently stopped . Ail sorts of rumours were in circulation , that rioting had taken place , and that the workmen were about to proceed - to Merthyr Ty dvil , about three mlks distant , to cause a stoppage of the works there , and also to Tredegar and KiabvglQ ia another direction with a like intention . As yet there is no truth in them , aad npon due enquiry , find that every thing is quiet , bat every thing is at & stand . It is generally supposed that the strike has arisen from the great redaction which have lately been made in the workmen ' s wages . These
redactions have been enormous , and coupled with i the discharge of vast numbers , is creating a fearful state of thingB in the densely and hitherto prosperously-peopled distriet . Mlny families are in a state of the greatest destitution , without food , and many thousands of th ^ m very far from their parishee . In the full tide of railway speculation and prosperity of the iron trade , there was not a sufficiency of people to be had , and there wae plenty of work for every one . But the reverse , is the case at present , and the prospect for the easuiog winter is of the gloomiest kind . There is a notice for reduction again in almost the whole of the works in the parish of Merthyr . What will become of the poor workmen it is impossible to guess . Should anything take place between this and the end of the week , I will not fail to write again . —Correspondent .

KEIGtHLEY . —Easter Dubs , —The war with tlie new Rector against the inhabitants for tbe recovery of Easter Dues , still progresses . Two more victims , Mr . John Lister and Mr . John Butterfield , are on the list , destined to have their goods taken from their homes , unless they pay tbe tax to the State Church . To-day ( Wednesday ) , being what is commonly called Justice meetiDg , these two individuals made their appearance according to tbe order of the summonses , to shew cause why tbey refused to pay . They informed the magistrates and the Rector , who was present , that as men who wanted nothing from tbe State Church , they thought it ought , in common honesty , to let them alone . They also observed , that as they had never paid anything of the kind before , they were entirely ignorant of the nature of the demand , and thought that , as it was at best a questionable concern , they ought to
satisfy them by reading over the law on the subject . W . Ellis , Esq ., Chairman of tbe meeting , accordingly read something out of a book handed to him by the clerk , about an Act passed in the reign of William III ., for the better recovery of small tithes , offerings , oblationB , obventions , &o . After the reading of this piece of stuff , which appeared to contain nothing about the case on hand , the magistrates gave their verdict , as a matter of course , in favour of the Rector , and told tbe parties to cash up , or take the consequences . Tbe Rector then got up . quite satisfied with the decision of the Bench , and whilst walking towards the door , had bis ears saluted with a regular hiss from the crowd . The two victims , who are thus marked out as examples of tbe power of the Church , are honest , industrious men , and , like tbe two before , of Chartist principles .
HUDDEBSFXCZiD . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . West , the West-riding lecturer , gave a lecture in the association room , Upperhead-row , to an overflowing audience . He gave great and universal satisfaction . His principle text was the decreeing of unrighteous decrees against the poor . He bandied the subject with a masterly hand , and made very great impressions , not very favourable to the powers that be . At the conclusion , an elderly gentleman , rose , who , by the bye . is a local preacher , and exclaimed that" if ever he heard a true Gospel sermon preached in the whole course of his life , he had heard one that night . " Indeed the lecturer proved himself well versed in Scripture .
The League Again . —On Monday last , our Philosophical Hall was crowded to excess , to hear the great gun of the anti-Corn Law League ; indeed the very name of Col . Thompson was sufficient of itself to attract great numbers , he being well known as a pubio character . He bad proved himself too honest for the factions , both Whig and Tory ; and it is very much to be regretted that such a man as the Colonel should be found in company with a set of political Whig quacks , supporting and puffing their political nostrums ; but it " was no go ; " indeed , the Colonel himself was obliged to acknowledge that the cause of all our national grievances , was the usurping of our political rights by the most villauous of all monopolies , the monopoly of legislation , and that all good and virtuous men would so for the removal
of the cause . Tbe Colonel found out it was no easy matter to answer the variety of plain and simple questions put to him by plain and simple men , whom be found were too mueh awake to the sophistry ana finesse of those who now claim the superior learning , and the Colonel , in this resp # ct , tried his best in various ways , but found it would not do ; a plain simple question withont a positive answer , caused him to feel bis situation , and he seemed to yield under it . A question was asked , would they sign the National Petition , if the Chartists would sign the anti-Corn Law ! No , was the reply . The meeting concluded b y giving a vote of thauks , and three cheers to the Colonel , Btating that they were glad to see him at Hudderefield , believing that he had come with good intentions .
HT 7 LI * . —Mr . Stallwood lectured on the distress of the country and the remedy for the same , on Monday evening . A large concourse of people assembled in the large Freemason's Lodge , My tongate . Mr . Webster was called to the chair . Mr . Stallwood was greeted with the most hearty acclamations . He addressed the audience at considerable length , contrasting wealth and want—investigated in a bold , clear , and lucid manner , our" wellbalanced" constitution—and pointing to the Charter as a remedy , he concluded his lecture amid the loudly expressed approbation of all present .
BSVSRiiET . —Mr . Stallwood addressed a public meeting at the Pack Horse Inn , Market-place , at seven o ' clock on Tuesday evening . Tbe large room of the above inn was densely crowded : Mr . John White was called to the chair . It was agreed that an address be presented to her Majesty congratulating her on her safe delivery , praying the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , tbe liberation of political victims , and the adoption of tbe Charter . OXiDHAM . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . Henry Smethurst gave a most energetic and soul-stirring lecture in the Chartist Room , Greaves-street , in which he depicted the extravagances of tbe Royal
household ; contrasting it with the degradation , misery , and starvation of the labouring classes ; all of which evils tho lecturer attributed to class legislation , and the only permanent remedy that could be applied for tbe removal of these evils was the People ' s Charter being made the basis of the Constitution . To acquire this great object , be urged his hearers , both male and female , to join the National ChArtcr Association , to lay aside all religious prejudices and examine for themselves , and they would find that religion and politics must go hand in hand . This waa the doctrine of the Word of God . The lecture was listened to with great attention , and the crowded audience went away highly delighted .
KANCHESTEB ,. —On Sunday evening , the Chartists who formerly worshipped at Tib-street on Sunday evenings , opened their New Room , which was attended very numerously , and Mr . Duffy delivered an excellent lecture . On the same evening Mr . Griffin lectured on the Corn Laws , the policy of the league , and the conduct of masters in making reductions , and gave great satisfaction . Mr . Cartledge , after speaking very highly of the lecturer , moved the following resolution , which was carriec unanimously : — "That we , the Chartists of Brownstreet , having attended the meetings of Manchester and neighbourhood , where the reporter of the Star has been present , and having afterwards read the reports in the Star , declare , so far as they have been inserted , they have been correct ; and we throw back
the attempt « f those who are endeavouring to injure the Star , and impugu the veracity of the reporter . " BUBTON-UPON-TBEWT -On Sunday last , the Chartists of Burton paid a vieit to the poor man ' s church , in Redwood Forest , to hear a s * rmon from tbe Rev . Humphry Price . The text was taken from tbe thirteenth chapter of Proverbs , and the twenty-third verse ; tne words are— Mueh food is in the tillage of the poor , but there is that is dea -troyed for want of judgment . " The sermon gave general satisfaction . All declared that they never heard such a rerrnon before . Tbe weather was very unfavourable ; but the Burton Chartists are determined to continue their visits to the poor man ' a church , despite wind or weather ; and tbey hop * that every poor man in Burton will join them in supporting tbe only pvor man ' s church , and fill the empty seats which are deserted by their enemies .

ASHTO 2 T . —Discussion bbtwkkn the Chabtists a « o the Cobn ; Law IlEP £ ALEBS .- ^ -Thej Committee of the Charter Association of this town , and the Committee of the Anti-Corn Law Association , have had it in contemplation , for the last Bix weeks , to make arrangements for a discussion between the Chartists and Corn Law repealers of Manchester , on the subject of the Corn ; Laws . Last Week the terms were agreed upon , and the town placarded , announcing two night ' s discussion , on Monday and Tuesday evenings . The Chartists sent an invitation to Mr . Bell , of Salford , and Mr . Griffin , to take the Chartist view of the question . The other party invited Messrs . Watkins , Culverwell , Rawson , and Birtch , as their champions . On Monday evening
agreeably to the notice , tho hard hands , unshorn Charlestown meeting-room . Mr . Smith was . chairman for the Corn Law p&Tty , and Mr . Wopdroff for the Chartists , and Mfc Spencer umpire . Each Chairman hoped they would give every speaker a fair and impartial hearing , and , that neither approbation nor disapprobation would be shown . After the reading of the placard , and stating the terms , Mr . Culverwell was called upon to open the question , for which he was allowed twenty minutes . The speaker then went through , a re gular culled , prepared , out , and dried Epeeeh , ' containing the old absurdities , which have been exploded and refuted scores of times . Mr . Bell occupied twenty minutes in reply , and upset every position of his opponent . Mr . Rawson , another of the Anti-Corn Law party , went exactly in tbe same strain as his colleague . Mr . Griffin gave way to Mr . Littler , and
reserved himself till the second evening . Mr . L . supported the arguments brought forward by Bell manfully . Our readers will form some estimation how they went on when we inform them that Bell and Littler followed them up , quoting their own authority , and beat them upon their own ground , until they were driven so close into a corner as to deny that M'Culloch , Porter , and M'Queen were any authority , or any standard , to go by . Both Culverwell and Rawson , finding they were dead beat , would not acknowledge either of those three statistical writers , although they are quoted by all the lecturers and speakers upon the subject . The subject was well sifted , and has done much good to the movement Tor the Charter . A vote of thanks to the chairmen waa moved by Mr . Bell , and seconded by one of the other party , and the meeting dispersed without any resolution , by giving three cheers for Feargus O'Connor .
Second Night ' s Discussion . —The discussion was resumed ou Tuesday evening , before tbe same Chairman and umpire as on the previous evening . The discussion was carried on in excellent temper , and it the close a resolution , proposed and seconded by two working men , ia favour of the People ' s Charter being the first step to bo taken for the redress of all grievances , was unanimously carried . STOCKPORT . —On Friday evening last , Mr . Birtch , of Manchester , one of the anti-Corn Law lecturers , came to this town to lectura to the Youths ' anti-Corn Law Association . Although it is called a Youth ' s Association , the greater number are men .
some forty , others fifty , and even as high as sixty years of age ! The Chartists mustered and elected their own Chairman b y an overflowing majority , and rejected the self-elected Mr . Coppock . Town Clerk . This was rather too galling to be stood quietly ; and to obviate it , he wiled for the police to take Carter into custody . Birtch proceeded with his written lecture amid the laaghter . of the assembly ; and at the conclusion , Coppock gave him a vote of thanks himself ; not daring to put it to the meetiDg .

FEARGUS O'CONNOR AT BOLTON . On Wednesday , Mr . O'Connor visited this town , and bad , according to the opinion of all who had the pleasure of seeing and judging , one of the most numerous , orderly , and enthusiastic meetings ever held inside any building in the town . Towards evening groups were seen coming from all the surrounding districts ; many , as far as ten or twelve miles . At five o ' clock they began to flock into the Hall , until about six hundred had taken their seats for tea . Whilst preparations were being made , a quadrille band , which had been engaged for
the occasion , enlivened tho assembly by . playing some lively airs . The spacious Hall , built by the Teetotallers , was illuminated by four large chandeliers . The building is calculated to hold about 3 , 000 people . About half-past five o ' clock / the time for commencing , Mr . O'Connor , accompanied by the good and true , entered the room . He was met and greeted ia such a manner as to baffle description . In a short time he ascended the platform , and was again cheered . The company than partook to satisfaction of "the cup which cheers but not inebriates . " This portion of tbe banaeai being
over , Mr . O'Conmob advanced to the front of the platform and announced his intention to Bit till eight o ' clock to enrol members , and particularl y invited the ladies . Many names were enrolled , the majority of whom were Mr . O'Connor ' s own countrymen and oountry women— -the number who took cards of membership amounts to one hundred . Mr . Wbbmwick was then called to the chair , and the doors having been thrown open to the public , the spaoioua room was toon crowded to exoesi , hundreds being unable to obtain admission . Mr . Dixok moved the first resolution , as follows : —
M That we welcome with unfeigned deb ' ghfc that Noble Patriot , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., once more amongst us , after his imprisonment in the dungeon of a tyrannical Government . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Hyblop , Draper , from Wigan , in a very humourous and sarcastic speeeh , which called forth the cheers of the audience . ! Tho resolution was carried amidst the most tremendous cheering , during which Mr . O'Connor rose , but it was some time before he could obtain silence

A large number of the middle class were present , who came forward and confessed tliat they had been misled , and that he bad completely dispelled their prejudices . . , Mr . Vickebs moved th « next resolution , ' which was seconded by Mr . Gallaisbt , and carried unanimously . It was as follows : — a That this meeting p laces the most unbounded confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., as an agitator , and will continue the same so Jong as he preserves bis present career of agitation for the rights of labour and of man . "
Mr . O'Connor again briefly addressed the assembly in acknowledgment , and made a powerful appeal ia favour of Dr . M'Douall . Thanks were then proposed to the Chairman ^ to Mr . Barrow , and to the ladies , for their efficient services , which were carripd with enthusiastic cheering .

TO THE UNREPRESENTED MILLIONS OF THE UNITED EINGDOM .
Fellow Counthtmen , —Oppressed as we are by the vicious institutions under which we have so long been used to suffer , it ia clearly both our duty ana our interest to make use of ail the means in our power to secure our emancipation from that thraldom to which we are subjected ; and in order to do bo we must get as many real representatives of the people as possible into the House of Commons ; I think you will agree with me that by acting upon the following plan we could obtain our ^ usf rights , even in spite of the boasted middle classes . Let two tenements of the annual value of £ 5 be taken of
the same landlord , by two Chartists , both to be secured in the name of the parties , and the other signing an agreement with him to become his nader tenant . This would enable some thousands of our bod / to become voters , and tbe good effects would be plainly peroeived in the result of the next general election . Any man occupying premises of the annual value . of jBIO , and rated to the relief of the poor , is entitled to be put upon tho Register .
