: TO THE-EDITOR . CF THE > IOP . TI 1 £ II >; STAR . I Sia , —I la * t night returned to Edinburgh , after a : : fortaishf s tonr in the North , and thinking th&t a know- i i le ' se of tke real Etate of ChartiBm in that quart « r [ ' micht bb interesting to the friends of freedom in the j S-u - . h , I shall take the liberty , throagh the * medium of ; youT paper , to describe what came ¦ auder my own obser-! vetion . "Before I went to the North I ¦ was afraid from trhat I heard that distress , destitutHsr , and disoppoint'¦ ment fe > vl thrown the public mind into the slough of political aespondency , if not actaal despair . Bat I am happy to assure you and the frieods of freedom in Engj laud that such is not the fact My reception in the ; North , proves that in that part of Scotland Chartism is ¦ far from being dead—that it ia not asleep . I have " : visited Dundee , Arbroatb , Breciien , Montrose , and ; other places . I have had crowded fcerases , so much so , that tha people there say , ua 7 , even the local news-: papers admit that there has not been such Ghartist , n . t-evinj ? 3 for years , although I spoke twice in ail these p \ acaB . In IhiDdee 1 lectured three nig > its , and in Aberdeen five nU : h ' -s ru nmg . But , Sit , I have met with that which pleases me far better than full and crowded houses ( an-i there is nothing I detest more than -empty beaches ) and that is the -warm reception I met vnth and the firmness ar . d determination of the
people to carry the Charter . Their spirit is etill nnte ^ ken ; stirring and naive . ; resolved to puisue with ucti ? ir « j ; energy , till rational liberty haa obtained the asceada :: cy . It is with sincere delight that I can send you such a statement—it is truly heart-cheering to myself to see the cause fvv ; vhich I suffered , ( and for which I troukl still suffer ) prospering so triumphantly . In thetscrttish vineyard ? oodIabomers are much wanted ; they cannot he efficient at present as it _ is only in a very low places that associations exist , and the poverty of the people cannot pay the expense of agitating ihe organizsd districts . Were such a national
union established in Scotland and England as that proposed by Mr . O'Connor , then the strong for a time could tear the burden of the weafe ; or , in plain terms , good ¦ men might , from a general fund , be sent ts districts which in a little time would reimburse the general fund fer all the ouilay attending their first organiz ition ; another good tfiVct would be , that by such a national or general iuncl il care not -which ; good anil true men alone would be admitted as public lecturers , and an ecd pat to that petty squabbling unfortunately , but too preT * JaEt , in Scotland . I am , yours truly , Robert Peddie . Edinburgh , IS . West Richmond-street , 1 st May , 1843 .

» TO TH £ EDITOR OF IHE . NOKTHEKX STAR . Sir , —In accordance with the susjgestion c-f a good fniiid to the CiUse o ! ChatiUm , 1 here senri you a few Unas on the state of the districts I hate visited since my entry iato " boanie Scotland , " hoping that it may have the affect of causing some to stand firm in the faith , and epnrrins others to greater exertion . The beginning of my labours in Sc > tlund was at Kelso , where the Duke of Roxburgh has a fine seat . 1 found no association , no organization , and only about feur or five persons who could be cilled active Chartists . I had oo intention to lecture there at first , but through ice solicitations of our few friends 1 did so . We sent the bellman round , and got np a good meeting , on a nice green . I waB ¦ well reeeivtsil by the audience . 1 pressed on them the great necessity of organizing themselves , and meeting weekly in friendly communion together- They promised me , at parting , they would set about it ; the following wet-k I saw , by your Star , they have d-ne so . Thus my labour has not been
. After having given my word to come and pay them another visit , in about three weeks , I bent my steps to Edinburgh . 1 there sought out the friend I wxs directed to , and found him a ahutil&-m&ktr , a Chartist , and a philosopher ; a man who has earned fame by his rese&rcbea u a geologist , and has adorned the Mechanics' Institution by appearing as a lecturer on that sublime science . He told me plainly that the people were nearly all either Sturgites , or Corn-Law Repealers ; that the noted Brewster was a native of the town , and that if I B » id anything againBt the views of either of the two parties , he doubted whether 1 shtuW get a hearing -, but , if I did speak publicly , to " draw k mild . " Every body knows \ who know me ) that I am cot very rash ; but 1 made up my mind to c-xert m ; self in proportion to the difficulties of my task .
The extension of trade and cbtap bread humbug , I entered into at some length , and 1 was beard patiently and often applauded . Then 1 brought on the Charter , the whole Charter , and its name akng with it , so that they might know it was not a bastard . If there was any Corn Liw Repeakrs there , or Sturgites , they held that discretion was the best part of valour , for tbty " hid their candles tinder busht- ! s , " and I have left tLtiu ail t&eir work te begin again , with this tIiff < . r < .-Ece , that the same birdlime won ' t stick a second time . My friend confessed he had never looked at the question of cheap br-. id in the light 1 had placed it before , and with the rest of the audience determined to i ; o for the People's Charter , by which alona the labourer can txpect protection for his industry .
I shall take up no more of your valuable paper this week , is a short , communication can find a p . ate where a long one cun t ; but this I wil . say , there h-s tithtr boea some ba&a treachery or gross neglect to cause , such a lukewannness on tLc part of our people—it has teen all up-aiJl with me so far , but I ki . ow I have made my footisg firm , acd as I shall have to go over the ground again , the surface will be reacy smoothtd . Yours , TUOS . DlCkl . NSON . £ yl , Cinn : > :: eate , Edinburgh , May 1 , 1643 .

NEWCASTLE . —A general meeting of delegates from the principle mining districts of Great Britain was held in the Rose and Ciown Inn , New Road , Newci » tle , on Mo-day . At the appointed hour ( ten o ' clock ) the president , Mr . Wild , of Yorkshire , took the chair . The objects for which they had met having been declared , each delegate gave an account of the number of members of the Bociety , in their respective localities , at tbe same time paying in the contributions of their constituents to the general fundB of the society . Amongst the great body of delegates presentwe observed that one represented each of the lollowing collieries , namely , —Atiwalton , Bricklayer ' s Arms , Osmondthorp , Leeds district , Wool Pack , Catherine Slack , Etlanil , Halifax district ; Ossett-Btreet-olde , Wakefield district :
Daw Green , Dewsbury district ; Seghill , West Moor , Walker , St . Lawrence , East Cramlington , West Cramlington , Sheriff-hill , Pemberton ' s , Kenton , Seaton Burn , Jarrow , King Pit Wreckenton , Gosforlh , Springweli , Washington , Ouston , South Elswick , Netherton , Sleekburn , Cowpen , Hebburn , Fawden , Axclose , Blaydon Main , Wylam , Brecken Beds , Spital Tongues , East Holywell , West Hallywell , North Elswick , RadcliS Terrace , Wingate , Thornley , Cassop , Quarrington Hill , Coxboe , Haswell , Kylloc , Shincliffe , Sacriston , Eilamore , North Hetton , Daanery , South Church , Byer ' s Green , West Auckland , Evtnwoeid , Lsasingthorn , Whit worth , Copy Crooks Sheldon Banks , Eftmonsley , Cragghead , Oihill , Walbridge Fell , Marley Hill , Woodhouse Close , and various other districts in Scotland .
The monies having been paid in by tho delegates from each locality , and the real state of the society ascertained , which was very favourable indeed , new societies being formed daily , and the former ones greatly augmented in numbers , the G -neial iv . cretary submitted a balance sheet of the income and expences from the commencement of the society , which after being duly discussed , -was adopted by the meeting . The President of tbe society produced the balance sheet of tbe Parent Society , from the commencement , wkich was likewise passed . The District Secretary for tbo Wear and South Durham , submitted a balnnco sheet of the income and and expenditure of that district , which after being discussed was a-. lopted aho . Tbe General Secretary then announced that iu accordance with instructions which
be received at a previous meeting , he submitted the rules to the inspction of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., ami the E . titor of tbe Star , who each pronounced them in perfect accordance with law ( providing the 17 th article- was omitted ) , and he now held in his band the corrected copy returned to him by those gejitltmen . Yet although he w . as perfectly satisfied as to the legality , he would suggest some trifling alteration which would not at all interfere in a legal point of view . > ir . Brophy contended that notwithstanding the high authority upon which the Becretary confided , he thought that some of the articles were very ambiguous , and might be construed into being contrary to law , in the event of a prosecution being raised
avai'ist tbe society—ho wuuM therefore suggest another c > de of rules to tbe consideration of the delegate * . Mr . Marti :: Jude , proposed a third code , each of which was duly seconded , and a lengthy discussion ensued on tbe relative merits of each code , when it was agreed that a committee of nine be now appointed to consider each , and select a complete series of rules to be submitted for the adoption of the delegates . The following gentlemen were then appointed , v z .. Messrs . D . Shallow . B Embleton . Thus . Greivis , Thos . Smith , Samuel Mann , Martin Jude . P . M . Bropby , and Altx . Stoves . The committee then retired to consider the rules , and tUe delegates having disposed of a good deal of local business , adjourned at eight o'clock , until . half-past nine o'clucb on Tuesday raoraing .

Shocking Accident . —On Thursday week , an accident occurred in a quarry near Glossop , Derby shire , by w ' aich a young man named James BowUen lost his Jife . In the quarry ii is usual for the men to loosen the rocks by blasting and undermining ; and it appears that part of the stone had been undermined the night previous to the day on which the accident occurred . Some of the rock had fallen down , but a large piece at the top was left projecting a considerable way beyond the rest of the lock . The workmen observed this , and some of them went on the top to examine whether it was safe ; And seeing no erack , they thought it would not be dangerous to allow it to remain . The men had been at work there for some time after this ,
and deceased was filling a barrow under the projecting roek , when another of the workmen , who observed that it was loosening , and likely to fall , cried oat to him to run away ; but , before he could escape , the stone , which weighed about two tons , cune down , striking the deceased , and knocking him against the wheelbarrow . He was much hurt , bat life was not extinct ; and , on a Burgeon being sent for , he recommended that tbe man should be taken to the Manchester Infirmary , which was immediately done , and the unfortunate young man lingered there till Sunday night , when he died . An inquest waa held on the body ou Thursday last , before Mr . Chapman , the borough coroner , and the jury returned a vwdict of" Accidental deatb . "

STAFFORD . —On Monday a public meeting , called by the " tub-thumpers , " was held in the Wesleyan school-room , of this town , to take into consideration " the Factory Instruction Bill , '' as they called it . The Rev . John Taylor , New Connec tioa Methodist preacher , proposed tho first resolution , to the effect that they viewed with alarm the clauses of the bill , &c . The resolution was seconded by a " Ranter" parson , and supported by a person named Pilling , who lugged his little carcase up to the railing on ' he platform , and pronounced , with the passion of a turkej-cock , that he supported -the resolution , and then retired . The resolution being carried , the Rev . John Butler came forward to prop ' ose the second resolution , which went to reject the bilL , whole-hog . He alluded to the fate of Charles the First , for levying taxes without the people ' !
consent , and therefrom warned the Uovernmeut not to pass this bill , lest a similar fate should await them from the same cause . John Mort , Mayor of Stafford , next addressed the meeting , aud denied tho truth of the Commissioners' Report to Parliament , on tho condition of the people , because it stated that unwholesome animal food was sold at Wolverhamptou , and that tho boys were ignorant in the colliery works surrounding that town . John Wm . Peplow then mounted the platform to propose an amendment , aud said the worthy Mayor had told them ho should bo sorry for this bill to either pass the House , or be rejected without a discussion , and he thought th <> y would be equally sorry if that resolution passed that meeting without a discussion , as they had as yet had but one side of tbe question . Mr . Peplow , who was repeatedly interrupted while speaking , was here met with a volley of tremendous
hisses . Mr . P . told them he was not to be hissed down , and if they thought so they wore deceived . Tho uproar again commenced , and the scene was one that baffles description . Ono party calling on him to go on , and the other making an awful yell , amidst which Mr . Mort , the Mayor , came forward , and eaid , " hear Mr . Peplow ;"— "but he must be more courteous , he has called us all liars "—( no , no ) . Mr . Ft plow , " If I have acted uncourtcously I am sorry for it ; but I was not aware that I had done so . J will prove what I hava said . D . d not the Rev . Mr . Taylor say , that sooner than hare tho bill they would fight them for it 1 And was not 'hat ascribing bad motives to tho iramers of it ? What ! fight those
you have nothing against ! Tho uproar increased so after this that no ono could bo heard , aiid aU parties tried to persuade Mr . Peplow to retiro ; but it was no go ; he was determined to bo heard , or that no oae olso should . Amidst all this uproar and confusion , the resolution and petition which had not been read , were declared to be carried . Mr . Peplow exclaimed to the Rev . Gents , on the platform , " If this is a demonstration of the practical effeots of the cjvilising tendencies of Christianity , I blush for it . " Mr . Poier Heuiy , during the uproar , made his way to the platform in order to protect Mr . Peplow ; but was pulled off , and , but for tho determined spirit he manifested , he would hare been roughly handled by tho liberty-loving Christians .

BLACKBURN . —At a publio meeting held in the Music Hall , ia this town , on Wednesday , the 19 th , the following resolution , and address to Mr . Duncombe , were voted unanimously : — " That after having heard mad , the charges made by Thomas S . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., against certain magistrates for their brutal and illegal conduct ' , towards the inhabitants of this Borough , during the lato strike , and having at the same time heard tho magis £ trates' defence , in a leading article of the Blackburn Standard of the 6 th of April , we are of opinion , having hid ocular proof , that Mr . Duncombe ' s charges were positive facts , that they were cronies only a 3 far as they did not set forth one tithe
of the disgraceful conduct of the said magistrates , and that the article in the Standard is a gross misrepresentation of faces , and a malignent attack upon Mr . DuncomHr ) , for exposing conduct 80 outrageous , that we conceive it our duty to thus publicly stamp it with opprobrium and contempt . Most Noble and Patriotic Sir , —That not having the honour of a personal acquaintance we have nesertheless , for a length of time , paid much attention to your conduct , as a member of the falsely so-called House of Commons , and have narrowly scanned your conduct as a public man , we conceive it to be incumbent upon us , as men determined to be free , to come forward at this eventful crisis , and tender you our gratuitous , heartfelt , and unfeigned thanks , for
your disinterested exertions in behalf of the toilworn slave 3 of our much injured and sorely oppressed country . When a nation growing under the weight of its grievances , are anxious for an exposition of its wrongs , you Sir , wero the man universally looked upon as the fitting instrument for the expression of a people's will . When Judge Abinger thought proper to deviate from the straight line of judicial duty , yon , Sir , came forward in your place as a member of the British Senate , and respectfully and indignantly called the noble and learned delinouent to account for his abominable treatment of poor undefended Englishmen . And , last of all , in . a speech which , of itself , will reflect immortal honour upon its author , you
came boldly forth as the champion of the oppressed , and arraigned at tho bar of the country the magistrates of Blackburn and the manufacturing districts generally , for haying violated the laws they were appointed to administer with benignity and equality , for tampering with and setting at nought tho miserable remnant of liberty which class-elected despots have left the people . Go on , then , beloved Sir , in the great and glorious cause of freedom , and that you may live to see your efforts crowned with success , when peace , plenty , and contentment reign in the land we love , is the sincere prayer of the inhabitants of Blackburn . Signed by order of , and on behalf of the meeting , George Msikle , chairman .

We hope that both the friends and opponents of the proposed scheme , will attend , so that the question may be fully discussed , and truth thereby elicited .
Representation op Sheffield . —That our senior member , Parker , is to resign is uow fixed and certain , and that hia % l junior partner , " the oraole of the Weekly Chronicle , is to follow his example , is nearly equally curtain . Parker and Ward are to go out , but who arc to come in ! The Whigs aud Sturgites are wonderfully agreed on this subject—Bright of Rochdale is ihe pet of the former , and Colonel Thompson the chosen of the latter . No account is taken of the Chartists , who have so often thrashed both parties ; the Chartists there must look to themselves . For good reasons wo say no more now , bat bog of our democratic friends to keep their lamps trimmed , and be prepared for the contest in which they must and will take a part .

STOCKPORT . GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF DEMOCRACY . On Thursday evening last one of the largest indoorpublio meetings ever held in this borough assembled in accordance with a requisition signed by about 200 of the most influential liberals , amongst whom was H . Marsland , M . P . Eight o ' clock was the hour appointed to commence business , shortly after which time tho mayor , accompanied by about twenty ministers of the gospel , entered , and with much difficulty succeeded in forcing his way through the immense mass of human beings to the platform .
The Mayor having taken the chair , an attempt at cheering was made , which failed most signally . The requisition convening the meeting was read ,- after which the Mayor observed , that , having had so numerous and respectable a requisition as tbe one just read , presented to him , he could not do less than give his sanction to it . He had only to add , that all parties addressing that meeting should have a fair hearing , at least if he could secure it . He concluded by calling upon tho mover of tho first resolution . The Rev . Mr , Waddington , an Independent minister , came forward , and read a speech from a paper before him . He concluded by moving the following resolution : — " That this meetiug having considered the provisions of the Factories BiU , now before Parliament , repudiates its educational clauses , as unconstitutional in character , unjust in principle , sectarian and exclusive in spirit , vexatious and oppressive in details , and as highly injurious in their tendency . "
Ttie Rev . Thomas Newsom , Catholic Priest , seconded the motion . The Mayor asked if there was any one who had any remarks to make . Mr . Thomas Clark came forward amid loud cheering , and said , Mr . Mayor and fellow-townsmen , in coming to the consideration of this really important question , I heartily respond to the sentiment of the Her . Gentleman , the mover of the first resolution , that all party and sectarian prejudices should be banished during the discussion , but whilst he would do so , he should also claim tho right of acting independently , and treat all parties according to their deserts . He agreed with the resolution , that the educational clauses of this Bill were unjust and vexatious , but he would beg to ask of tho Reverend and eloquent deolaimers against those clau 8 eg , if there were not also clauses in that Bill
which were essentially necessary for securing our infant factory workers from the effects of the abominable system under which , at present , thousands of them were consigned to premature graves !— ( hear and cheers . ) The resolution might be good so far as it went , but whilst it condemned the objectionable points of the Bill , it was eloquently silent upon the good ones : for reasons best known to the Rev . Gentlemen , not a solitary sentence bad been said , nor the most distant allusion made to those good points , therefore it was , that he rose for the purpose of submitting to them an amendment to the resolution —( great applause . ) He did not wish to offer yex-Atioua or frivolous objeotiona , but the amendments he was about to propose were of bo important a nature , that he felt he should be wanting in fidelity to himself and the public were tw to neglect laying them before them . The amendeient ran as follows : —

" That , in the opinion of this meeting , the P « . tories Regulation Bill , now before the House t Commons , is exceedingly necessary and humane a ! far as it purposes to afford legislative pro tection S infant labour , by making it unlawful to cause allow to be worked in a factory above six-and-a h w hours per day , any child not having attainedi i »! thirteenth year , by the fines it will ( if enacted } »«! pose upon the manufacturers , ( the great bodv * whom have heretofore set at defianea all restrai t both natural and legal ) , for the non-observanca 7 the Act for the boxing off machinery , &e It ? this meeting ia further of opinion that the clauaZ
relating to Education , give an undue and mZ ponderating influence to a party already too powff ful , by means of the enormous and extravagant * sum 3 of money annually extracted from , and agajj . ! the will of , a sorely oppressed people for its sn port ; and that we look upon National Education under the controul of the whole people as the < mr legitimate or beneficial means of giving to ft rising generation that education which must fom the ground-work of England ' s future greatness 1 " ( loud cheers ) . ""*
Mr . John Allinson seconded the amendment Mr . Ellis , Sacial Missionary , supported the » m ' » ment iu a truly eloquent speech . The mover and seconder of the original motion made a second speech each , when the Mayor d » ceeded to put the resolution and amendment . T ^ amendment was put , when not less thaa " 2000 * hanSa were held up for it . ¦ «• The original motion was next put , when ont gM tary hand was all that was held up for it . The Mayor announced the amendment carried amidst tremendoas cheering . Mr . Carter moved " That T . S . Duncombe Eso present the resolution to Parliament . " ^ Mr . Webb seconded the motion .
Mr . Ellis moved as an amendment , " That Mr Cobden present it . " ' The Rev . C . Baker seconded the amendment . The amendment was them put , and about 100 hands were held up for it . Tne original motion was next put , and un w »« i the 1 , 900 hands , hearts and all . ^ The Mayor declared the original motion carried . A vote of thanks was given to the Mayor for hu impartial conduce , after which three cheers were given for Duncombe and O'Connor , and the meetiaj separated in high spirits . ^*

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Wednesday , April 26 , Petitions in abundance were presented ag&in * the Education clauses of the Factory Bill . Mr . M . Gibson put two questions to Sir Robert Peel relative to the interruptions of the negotiation with Brazil and Portugal , for establishing comma , cial treaties with these countries and England , bat the Right Hon . Baronet evidently waa not inclined to make any disclosures about the Brazilian affair * he would say nothing , but he intimated that if the negotiations with Portugal had been successful , and the duties on Portuguese wine had been reduced , % similar reduction would have been made on French and Spanish wines . The terms , however , which had been offered to the Portuguese Government had not been accepted , and therefore , so far , there waa aa end of the negotiation .
The order of trie day for going into Committee on the Dramatic Performances Bill was postponed for a fortnight . In answer to a question from Sir Robert Pael , Lord John Russell said he should offer no opposition to the Factories Education BUI going into Commit tee pro forma . He at the same time intimated his intention to postpone his resolutions on the subject until Tuesday next , as Sir James Graham intended to make certain amendments of importance to his Factories Bill .
On the order of the day for the second reading of the Municipal Corporations Bill , Lord John Bds > sell stated that the objects he had in view in Introducing the measure , when Mr . Williams expressed his regret that the Noble Lord had omitted the Corporation of London in his catalogue . Every article , he said , imported into London paid a tax to the Corporation , which they Bpent in profligacy and revelry . From the articles of corn , coals , gait , asd potatoes they received a reveuue of £ 100 , 000 a-ye&r . This statement excited much laughter . Sir James Graham opposed the Bill , chitfly on the ground that it would put an end to representation , gi ? e rate-payers a power over vestries , and pervert the application of ancient trusts for education and other matters . He therefore moved its rejection , and on a division the amendment was carried by a majority of 99 to 46 . After some routine business the House adjourned at half-past seven .

The Condemned Criminals at Kirkdale . —The unhappy individuals who are confined in Kirkdaln saol , under sentence of death , are both members of tho church of England . Wilmot Buckley has , since his condemnation , spent much of his time in readivig , writing , and religious meditation . His letters aro principally epistles of consolation to his father . Tuey exhibit great knowledge of the sacred writings , and the consolation which they breat-ho is * of a roligious rather than of a worldly nature , while they show a determination in tbe convict to meet his fate with resolution . He has not said any thing deckled as regards the justice of his sentence , but he says ho is perfectly prepared for its fulfilment . He bays
but liule louc . hinK the deed of blood which led to his present awful situation . H » has observed , however , that ho struck hia wife he knew not how or where , or what the effect or consequence might be . Ho must have hit her mouth , or her face , or her breast ; knew not aught , save that he struck . Tho convict presents much the same appearance that ho did at and antecedent to his trial . Betty Eccles , though she seems composed , has wasted greatly since her sentence . She seems anxiously to desire to frame her mind , as far as is possble , for tho great change which must soon take place . She is earnest in her attention to her religious duties , and looks forward to her execution with resignation . She has not made any confession , but
it is observed that neither does she deny the heinous offence imputed to her . Her health is visibly affected , and this appears to be from the action of the mind , on which , it is evident , something of a distressful nature is heavily pressing . She seems , indeed , to wish to make some communication , for tho purpose of unburdening her mind . The governor of the prison spoko a few words to her on the subject , telling her that , if there were anything pressing ou her mind , she would certainly find herself much easier , if she mado use of one ot' the frequent opportunities which she had of conversing with the Rev . Mr . Appleton , to disencumber herself of the oppression . She coloured slightly , but did not speak . These unfortunate beings are to suffer on Saturday next , at noon . —Liverpool Albion , Monday .
