thai and parts of the adjoining counties , passed stron g resolutions on . the subject ; tfia , t these reso ' intiwis "were , published in the Northern Star at the time ; and that the Executive thought pro * per to reply to them in a high tone of mock dignity , demurring to the right of the delegates to investigate the correctness of the Balance Sneet , * s £ refusing to afford a angle word of explanation to them . "We could not admire the conduct of the Executive oh-that occasion ; and yet we regretted the course taken by the Leicester Delegate Meeting "We thought that a courteous , private coniznunieation ^ ] lV _ l a-nti T **» te AT * fVlfl jiirUTllTIO' AATint ?» a TvaoCAsi
might possibly have induced those explanations which -were refused when publicly demanded . Oar readers will perceive from this day ' s paper , that we did not entertain these opinions singly ; they will Bee that they were holden by the Councillors of Hull , and rery probably by those of many other places . We request that they will read carefully the correspondence of the Hull Councillors elsewhere recorded . We refer them especially to the first letter of the Councillors to the Secretary , dated July 13 ; h . They will find that letter just what we think the circnmstances of the case required ; courteous in its
expression , kindly m its tone , neither containing , nor even insinuating an offensive charge of any description ; bnt simply asking j < n information respecting same points of the Balance Sheet , and offering , in the most respectful terms , certain suggestions for the consideration of taa Executive . It seems that the reply of Mr . Cakpbell to this most mild and courteous letter was not entered by the then sub-Secretary in the minute book of the Association , but was preserved as a substantive document for after reference when needed . Mr .
Gkassbt , the the then sub-Secretary , being one of the " proscribed , " made himself scarce , and his wife destroyed all bis pipers , from a very natural womanish fear that some of them mi ^ ht be seized , and used against him , this letter being amongst them . We have , however , a perfect recollection of the letter , and of its contents . As a member of the Gafieral Council , it was 3 een and read by the Editor of this paper , and its tone was certainly aot that which a public funcrion&ry ought to have adopted towards his constituents under such ci nmstances .
While it afforded explanation of some of the matters enquired about and excases for othera , it w& 3 simply waspish and insolent This , however , did not drive the Hall Councillors to the course , which they might very properly have adopted , of nnblishing their letter , and Mr . Campjell ' s reply ; of fairly analizin ^ the balance-sheet by a comparison of all its items with the rule 3 of the organitition ; and of leaving the Executive , in the pretty figure which it must then have cut , to be dealt wnh as the members thought fit . They might have done this , and had a right to do it ; but they
considered not what they had a right to do , but what might bes : serve the cause . They knew that some members of the Executive had been eminently useful in their personal services io the cause ; they were fearful less any public notice of the matter might be detrimental to the cause , either by causing them to withhold these services hereafter , or by causing the people to appreciate them lesB highly , or 6 y furnishing a handle to the enemy , n such an exposure of the mismanagement of oar funds and the misconduct of our public officers . For all these reasons , the uncalled for ill-manners , and ill-temper of the
Secretary ' s letter were passed by , and they stiil confined themselves to the private and kindly admonition of their second letter , dated July 17 th . To this letter , the Executive , as a body , never condescended any reply . In this unsatisfactory state stood the matters of the Executive and their accounts until the Rational Conference on the 17 th of August . That Conference was , as we always understood , called for the very purpose of entering into a full investigation of the whole conduct of the Executive . Circumstances to which we wiil not further now allude , prevented the business of the Conference from
being even entered upon , and the Execntiva had for that time an escape . There being , however , a delegate from Hull present a * the Conference , and also a Hull Councillor delegated from tpother place , Dr . M'Douall took the opportunity of publicly stating that the matt erof which the Holi Councillors had complained had received the attention of the-Executive , and should be remedied . This was understood , we believe , not only by the Hull Councillors then present , but also by Councillors from various other
places , to 03 a distinct pledge , for himself and his coadjutors , that thereafter the plan of Organization should be adhered to . It was believed to be givea in good faith , and it wa 3 therefore naturally expected that when the next Balance Sheet of the Hxcentive should appear it would be a clear distinct statement of accounts , showing to what purposes the hard-earned pennies of the people had been applied , in strict accordance with the Organization , ¦ which , we repeat , 13 the one duty of the Executive to enforce and carry out .
It is impossible , therefore , to make any excuse for them now . They have not been taken by surprise . They have had warning and remonstrance enough m a ! conscience ; and the plain duty of xbe people now i 3 , not to make the matter a subject of noisy altercation—not to suffer any considerations other than those which arise out of the plain printed rnles o / the Organization to influence them—and to show by their votes upon the next election of Executive Committee , their opinion of the manner in which their dearly and hardly-earned pence have been appropriated , in defiance of their clearly defined duty " and the printed rules of the Organization , by these men .
There is no concealing the fact that these men have set aside the Organization—that they have acted in open defiance of their own principles as Chartists—that they have erected themselves into an oligarchy of the very worst kindand that under the name and pretensions of democracy they have been long practicing pure desporisni ; that they have done this knowingly and wil / ully , and have persisted , after being repeatedly admonished and jiminded of their principles . It is
for the people , after all thi 3 , to say whether these men be ai all fi » for the ofica they hold , and which we think they disgrace , and have—some of them , at least—long done so . As a portion of the people , we have a right both to hold , and to express , an opinien on the subject ; and our opinion is , that if the people again elect these men without , at aH events , requiring from them a distinct pnblic and individual acknowledgement of their past errors , and a pledge for their future conduct , they will deserve to be robbed ad libitum .
We cannot leave the subject without again adverting to Mr . Campbell's lame letter of last week-In endeavouring to account for the enormons sum of eighteen shillings a week put down as postage and stationery , he complains of receiving many letters nnpre-paid . We do not believe it . We think it probable that the correspondence of this office will J > e quite as extensive as that of the Executive , and we do no ; receive , on an average , three letters in a vjeek ta&i are rmpre-paid . The . talk about
prepaying cards by post is absurd . If it be done to any ^ nch extent as to form a serious item in the Ehaj « of postage , it onJj proTes that Mr . Campbell is un-wiy unqualified for the very simplest duties of his c £ ie ; while the effort to eke out the item by referring - to heavy correspondence at the period of their accepting office ( that period being bejond the' date of the balance sheet ) would bs * really la ughable , if it were not that the fan of it is spoiled by the recollection that the
money in quest ion has been literally lifted from the hllf filled dinner pl&tes of starving men . We tell Mr . Campbell fairly , that we suppose the gwiter part of the poor fellows who contributed this < cm of money will regard this item as of itself , in the absence of much more explanation than he Has yet given , sufficient e ^ dence of gross and plain "jobbing , " such as ought no t io have been practiced by the Secretary of a Chains- Associaijon . We imagine that not a man in the whole country will betters tfut that gum has been « xpended fairly in

the postage and stationery of the Association . We regret much , for his owa sake , thftt Mr . Campbell , after the many warnings he had , did not think preper- so to keep his b oks as to be able to satisfy the country of the accuracy of his accounts , even in so trivial a matter as postage and stationery . His appeal to the other members of the Executive to-explain their own share of the expences is sail ' ] \ fcliA rWS ^ atrA on / 4 ai-ittinnonr i \ f tllA A R ^ OfM * Hnn . Wfl
further evidence of the uttrr slovenly and unbusinesslike nay in which the affairs of the Association have been managed . It seems from his letter that Mr . Campbell has constituted himself Treasurer as well as Secretary to the Executive ; and it was his duty not to pay any money to any body without knowing how rnd why , and for what it wag due , and being folly satisfied that he wa 3 warranted by the rnles of the organization in paying it .
Mr . CaMbslll ' s mode of explaining his own personal expences is amusing . He singles out one item , and says respecting it : — " I must now allude to one item in my own travelling expences , viz . £ 2 10 s . from Manchester to London , for railway fare . The coantry can satisfactorily judge why the extra 10 s . was charged" ! Why th « question is not about the extra 10 s ., but about the whole sum of £ 2 10 s . 0 d . ! Mr . Campbell forgets to show why the coantry should pay any part of this , or whit right he had to charge it at all . He doe-3 not show that he was going to London at that time on Chartist business at all ; or that he was not going on his own private affairs . Ic is Mr . Campbhxl ' s duty , as secretary of the Executive , to be in
Manchester . Manchester is the appointed p ' aoe of siithi-j—settled , as Mr . Campbell very well knows , at the National Delegate Meeting , which amended the Organization ; and is ic not monstrous that because Mr . Campbell chooses for his own convenience to live in London , that he may keep a bookseller ' s shop , and because Mr . Leach remains in Manchester , as he ought to do , th » t therefore every time these gentlemen wish to oonsult with each other the country should be charged with railway travelling from Manchester to London 1 ! And then the whole face of the accounts displays a laxity and vagueness , which if it had been intended to cover fraud oould not have been more adroitly managed . The only items in the whole list to which a distinctive
character appears are those of wages and cards printing ; all the rest are left floating in a mist . The Organizition givea no authority to any member of the Executive to chargo a single farthing for travelling expenses , save when employed as missionaries , and then only under statedjand restricted circumstances . The orgauizition contemplates the Executive as a fixed body , sitting for a fixed purpose , in o fixed place : it does
not contemplate that they shall live one at Manchester and another at London , and another somewhere else , and sadlla the country with their travelling charges every tim-a they come together . Tne country would ba much better without such an Executive than with it ; for its only use would :: ? tntobeto waste the poor people ' s pence . The more we look at the wholu thing the mere completely are we sickened with it .
Wa must , however , pay some attention to Mr . Bairstow ' s explanation , which we are sorry to find very little more satisfactory than Mr . Campbell ' s . He says , in reference to his receipt of wages while lecturing : — " I deem , of cour 3 e , that employed in the West of England , where the defection of the ' -Sturgites' from our movement left a wide gap in the agitation , none will object to weekly receipt of £ 1 10 s . for wages . "
This is rather a cavalier mode of dismiaing-the matter . It is news indeed to us to hear of . the West of England being classed among the new districts of " Chartism . Either the Chartists of Bath , Bristol , Cheltenham , and Wiltshire did psy Mr . Baiustow for his lecturing services among them , or they did not . If they did , he has no right to chsrge his wages to the general fund ; if they did not , it is & shame that these old and able localities should have a lecturer provided by the country , while such districts as Doncaster , and the Ei = t and North Riding of Yorkshire , North Lancashire , and Leicestershire , wiere the people are much poorer , not only pay their own lecterers , but are also , it seems , to pay the lecturer for the Wett of England . This is too bad .
Mr . Baibstow ' s explanation of the £ 2 16 s . 6 d ., charged for travelling from Manchester to Bristol , isa little curious ; it seems he went over to Loughborough to see his sick wife , and thence to Bristol . Now , we are sure that there i 3 no good Chartist who will not give Mr . Baibstow credit for the manly fueling which took him home by the first conveyance , under such cirenmstances ; bnt we cannot for the life of u 3 discover how Mr . Baibstow makes out that he has any more right than any other man to charge the country with the expenses of Fuch a . journey Upon this principle every Chartist who being from home receives intelligence that his wife is sick should hasten to her by railway , and send in his bill for travelling to tho Executive . Mr . Baibstow says ,
" The first journey , after my election on the Executive ' . vs . ? from Bristol via Gloucester and Birnjir . i , 'ha . m , to Manchester , to our first sitting , and was performed on Sunday evening and Monday morning ; the sum stated was expended in bare coach hire and railway fares . " We fancy there is some small mistake here . We believe that tLat journey was not exactly to a
sitiing of the Executive , but to the Manchester Conference , where we recollect that Mr . Bates " " " ^ stated himself to be the representative of two huu . . d thousand Chartists , and we think it a little too t-zd that those two hundred thousand Chartists should saddle the cost of their delegate upon the various other localities who sent and paid their own delegates . We like to see fair-play in all things , but we see none in this . The fourth section of Mr . Baibstow ' s letter
de-[ scribe 3 certain journeyings to and from ; butfor what purpose , and what busine 33 , he does not say . One thing however is , in our opinion , perfectly clear i respecUBg them ; and that is , that ih-y are unan-1 thorised by any rule of the Organization , and that I Mr , Bairstqw has no right , therefore , to charge : them to the country . Tne plea , of his being a fugii tire 13 no plea at all ; upoa that principle every other fugitive should also send in his bill for travelling to the Executive , and have it paid . ¦ Mr . Baibstow says , in this same article : —
i " The ' agitating expences , ' Sept . 3 d , were paid me 1 as a one-hail of my incideuial expenceo for the previous i two months , the localities in which I laboured hav-; lug always paid me the other half . " | The 18 . h rule of the Organizition clearly decides j . thia to ba an illegal charge ; as ha acknowledges that the localities had always paid him all that by th ? rule he is entitled to . Hi ? explanation on the ius ; . £ 1 5 s . is equally unfortunate , for the same rule brows that if paid at all , i ; should have been paid by the localities , and not by the general fund . The whole result of the whole matter is that the
; more the whole thing is looked at the more glaring | it appears , and the more the explanations given are ¦ examined and the more perfect is the certainty [ that the Executive nave calculated upoa their I iLflaence with the people to govern without Tegard i to iaTV ; to do whatever they pleased , without either ! rebuke or inquiry ; of which we can have no b-tter evidence of than the statement of Mr . JonN ; Campbell , that they expected , so . far from any objection being made to it , that the whole country would be delighted with the naked , open , robbery perpetrated in the matter of M'Douall ' s
wages : The people may be delighted with it if they please ; but we shall , at least , seeing that all other means have failed , do onr duly in giving it its own name , a mere wanton and more flagrant sjstem of jobbing and living out of the people than has been practised by these men we never eaw ; if the people like it , and choose to permit its continuance , they have a perfect right to do so ; but if they do , they have no right ever again to complain of the despotism and spoliation of oligarchic rule . We ought not to conclude , without doing justice to Mr . Morgan Williams , vrlio EeeCiS to hare had little or no personal par : ia thcis transactions at all . Hi ? situation

obliging him to remain principally at home , where doubtless his evening * and leisure hours have been davoted as well as those of other parties , to agitation in the good cause , he has not chosen to smite the country for wages while attending to his own affairs and living by his own business , though we can see no role by which he had not as great a right to do so as any body else .

It will be seen b y the advertisement in another column , that the Soiree to T . S . Duncombb , Esq ., will " come off" on Monday , the 19 th ot December . The Committee are actively at work to make the affair th » t which it should be , an honour to the judgment and taste of the working men of Leeds , and to the cause of Chartism which they have to universally espoused . The tickets are now issued . We advise an early application . The room is but small compared with the recent place of meeting in Manchester ; and there hundreds bad to depart from the doors for want of accommodation .
The limited number of tiokets the Committee have issued , will , no doubt , soon be disposed of : and fortunate will be those who obtain them . The proceedings of the evening will be important . The men of Leeds will have among ? t them for the first time another member ef the aristocracy , who has preferred the advocacy of the cause of the poor to the honours and blandishments of his own circle . To honour that man for his honourable conduce is the Soiree given ; and this is a proceeding of no ordinary interest . By the advertisement it will also be seen that other gentlemen are invited ; several of whom are confidently expected to be present . Their letters in answer to the invitations have not yet come to hand ; or the
fact of their acceptance or rion-accoptauce should be stated . In addition to the gentlemen named in the advertisement , the oomtnittee addressed a letter of invitation to Chables Waterton , Esq . of Walton Hall ; a gentleman who proved his devotion to the Chartist cause by traveling from Walton Hall to Leeds , for the express purpose of signing the National Petition . His letter , in answer to that invitation we bubjoin ; and hegbet , along with the writer , that ili-health will prevent us from having the pleasure of his company . The working men , who are bearing the heat and burden of the day , will be cheered by his expression of- sympathy with their labours . Here is Mr . Watebto . Vs letter-:
—Walton hall , Not . 16 , 1842 . 8 ir , —I request you will make my bsat respects to your committee , and say how much I feel honoured by their ' kind invitation . I regret that I shall not be able to avail myself of it . I have had three very severe attacks of dysentry within the ytar . No trifle . Yon may naturally suppose that a fourth attack would be productive of considerable alarm . I a order to avoid this , I am ordered by my medical adviser to keep very quiet , and to avoid crowded rooms , lest I may catch cold . Thus you see it will be impossible for me to attand the pubiic tea which is about to be given to Mr . Duocombe . I remain , sir , very respectfully , Tour most obedient eery ant , Charles Waterton .

The Executives Defence At the very last moment before going to press , we received a long document signed James Leach and John Campbell . It is impossible to give it this week ; bnt in justice to the writers and the people , we set forth its purport . It says not one werd of the " Agitating Expences . " It Bays not one word of the " Travelling Expenees . " It says that in reference to Postage and Stationery they have no more to say than Mr . Campbell has said . It seems to express great a&touUhment that anybody should crumble at M'Doaall ' a extra ten shillings a-week ;
bnt oners no justification for it beyond the opinion of the Executive . It occupies several pr ^ ea in asserting what nobody has denied—that the Secretary is a peimanent officer , and ought to have permanent wages . It occupies s : me pages in abusing Mr . Hill personally , because some twelve months e ^ o , a resolution from Merthyr Tyovil , dissenting from the policy of the Executive , appeared in the Star , under the bead , " Executive Sop . " It enlogists Dr . M'DouaTs patriotism , and Mr . Leach ' s eloquence ; and tffitms that the attack of Mr . Hill on the Executive is in malicious
revenge because they defended Mr . Philp . Of course we shall give the document next week , when our re&ueia will see that these are the only points it touches . We should have been bappy to have bad it in time to give it this week ; for wa thiDk the sooner the whole matter Is settled by the people the better : but it was received here at half-past three o ' clock in the afternoon , and our time- for being at press is four . The machine is now standins ; for this short notice .

LEEDS . —Da . Coffin . —This gentleman , who has recently taken up his residence m Leeds , has during the last few weeks delivered % course of leetarea at Araley and Wortley , upon the diseases incident to humamty , and the remedies best adapted to their cure . The lectures are the same in snbsfcanoe &S those which he delivered in this town twice during the last summer . The people of Armley have been e © much gratified by the knowledge they have derived by Dr . Coffin s lectures and the benefit some of them have received by his advice and medicine , that at the close of the lecture oh Friday evening , the 18 th inst ., they presented to him , throogh the medium of the gentleman who presided on the ocoasioD , a beautiful gold nug , as a token of their respect and gratitude . And in order that the occasion might not lack eclat , the Armley teetotal band volunteered their services ^ on the occasion , and escorted the Doctor from and to Providence Chapel , whore the 1 3 tures were delivered .
X ^ EEDS .-On Tuesday last , a young lad , named Samuel Davy , of Armley , was charged with having on Saturday night , broken into the dwellinghousexif Mr . Oates , of that village , and stolen a quantity of children s wearing apparel . The property waa seen safe on Saturday night , and on Sunday morning the kitonen window was found * o have been broken open , and it was gone . The prisoner was suspected , and the stolen property was found in a well in his " fathers house . He wa 3 committed for trial . Stealing Horse Hair . —On Monday last , two lads , named Wm .

, having stolen a quantity of horse hair the property of Messrs . Bentley . Mr . Bentley was in attendance , and said in taking stock they had missed about sixty stones of hair ; he had no reason to enspect the prisoners before Saturday , when having missed some hair after they had gone out , he charged Wise with the offence , and held out a promise not to send for the polioe if he would coufese ; this he did and implicated Riley , on which thoy were both given into custody , and threo or four pounds of hair was found to have been sold by them at Mr . Peter Gaily ' s , in Kirkgate . In consequence of the promise which had been the means of the confession , the magistrates decided they had no evidence on which to ensure a conviction , and discharged the prisoners ' with a reprimand .

Robbery . —On Friday , a young man named Frederick Gilbertson , was committed , at the Leeds Court House , to take his trial at tlio next sessions , charged ' with stealing on Wednesday night week , two parcels belonging to Mr . John Cooper , carrier between Leeds and Bradford . It appeared that Cooper , on the day in question , had received the parcels from Messrs . Cattanea and Co ., of Leeds , to convey to Mr . Simpson , of Bradford . Having placed them along with other things in his cart , ho proceeded on his journey , and having reached his destination at Bradford , when he came to examine his goods he found the two parcels mist-ing . Cooper had , however , not left this town above half an hour , before the criminal party was in the custody of the Leeds poiico with the parcels in his possession , the one containing a gross of small embossed tin plates , afld the other two dozei brass snuffers .
Stealing fiiom an Employer . —On Monday last a man named Benjamin Atha ., who has been in the employ of Mr . Eastwood , auctioueer , was brought up at the Court House , on a oharge of stealing money and other property belonging to Mr . Eastwood . The prosecutor has a shop in Briggate , in which he is disposing of a miscellaneous-stock of hardware , glass , < fec , by auction ; and the prisoner was observed by a person who was attending the sale , to take an opportunity , whilst giving change to purchasers , of secreting money in his hand , which he attewardt
conveyed -to iris coat pocket . Information of this was given to Mr . Eastwood , and the prisoner was given into custody . On searching him , about 28 s were found , and on proceeding to his house , in Hoibeck , a large quantity of glasses , knives and forks , chimney ornaments , &o ., were found , and amongst them , a cruet-stand without a handle , which Mr . Eastwood was able to identify ; but though he had no doubt of the other property being his , he could not swear to it . The prisoner was therefore committed for trial for stealing the cruet-stand .
Suicide . —On Sunday last , an inquest was holden at the Woodman Inn , Sweet-street , Holbeck , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of Rachel Foxcroft , 44 years of a ^ e , who terminated her existence the same morning by strangling herself . It appeared from the evidence of Mary Hardy , that the deceased had for the last month resided with four children in a cellar dwelling in Moore-street ^ and that she had been labouring under severe iudisposi'ion , mental as well as bodily . The witness had been attending on her , and sat up with her until a little after four o ' clock on Saturday morning , when deceased persuaded her to lie down ( on a bed in the same room ) and get some sleep , saving she herself feh comfortable , and could probably rest when the house was still . Mrs . Hardy fell asleep , and on awakening axain , before fivo o ' clock , found that her patient had tied the ends of a Bilk handkerchief together round the bed post , and wa 9 laid with her
n « -ck in the handkerchief , her feet on the bed , and all her weight thrown on tho handkerchief , y with her face downwards and quite dead . She immediately alarmed some neighbours , and a man camo and cut her down . The Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity . " It was stated in the room that tho deceased had not heard anything of her husband for nine years , it being that time since he lett her : that she had been for some time without anything to do , except sewing a « few sacks , and that she was dependant on the earnings of two of her children , who , when they were fully employed , got about 9 s . 6 d . per week , but that latterly they had been on short time , and had not earned so much . She had no relief from the parish , and had herself and children to keep out of this scanty pittance . She was described as a careful managing woman , and it was thought that want had preyed upon her spirits , and induced the malady under which she laboured .

BIEMINGtHAIVI . - State of Traded-The working population of this town were never in a more distressed condition than at present .

Forgeries and Embezzlement op Savings Bank Fund ? , by a Militia Officer , at Richmond , Surhev . —During the last four or five days , a strong feeling of excitement has prevailed throughout the neighbourhood of Richmond , Surrey , in consequence of the discovery of moit extensive embezzlements , and several acts of forgery having been committed in the management of the funds deposited in the Richmond Savings Bauk . It apf oaru from the inquiries which have been instituted into the matter , that the delinquent 13 a . Captain Belstead , the Secretary of the Institution , a gentleman highly connected , who , besides holding other appointments , is a Captain in the Surrey Militia , and who has hitherto maintained the hkhest character for probity and
gentlemanly conduct . On the fact being correctly ascertained , a warrant was issued for Captain Belstead's apprehension , atn . during Friday and Saturday last , the local magistrates were each day engaged in investigating the charges against tho accused . Two cases of embezzlement and one of forgery were only gone into , upon each of which Captain Belstead was fully commuted tor trial at the next Surrey sessions , and shortly afterwards was conveyed in a chaise to Horsemonger-lane gaol . In order to allay the excitement occasioned by the defalcations , the trustees of the savings bank have issued a number of placards , assuring the depositors that their demands will be met with promptness , and pledging themselves to make good the various sums abstracted by the secretary .
Remarkable Tenacity of Life . ^ -Oii Wednesday morning as the workmen wexe digging up the rubbish caused by the late fire on tho premises occupied by Messrs . W . S . Rumsey and Co ., 154 , Upper Thames-street , they heard the mewing of a cat underneath some portions of a cask , which had fallen across her body , and rested against the wall . On removing these , poor Grimalkin issued from her hiding place , having been incarcerated for nineteen days , during which period she could not by any possibility have tasted food . She was immediately supplied with milk , and , though thin , appears likely to recover .
