As many other persona had assembled U > bear the news in Cooper and Richard ' s case , Mr . Bsvnu read tbe report of tbe
proceedings as it appeared in tbe Morning Chronicle of Saturday , which made a deep i * npreasion on all present The members of tbe Council tben proceeded to business , &sd after settling some pecuniary m&tteis , their attention was drawu to the following resolution by Mr .

" A number of names were enrolled . Mr . Bowman then called the attention of the Council to Mr . Hill's letter which appeared in the second edition of the Star , and observed , that
this appeal should be heartily responded to , for it appeared there was a chance , providing great exertions were made on the part of the peoples of the verdicts found at L » i ; caster being set aside altogether ; and surely , every exertion should be made for such a purpo » e for it would be mu-. h easier to do this ; than to support their frends and families , should they get imprisonment , which would certainly be the case , if the means were not immediately raised for fighting the battle in a skilful and proper manner . Alter a few observations from some other members , arrangements were entered into for a general collection for this purpose . We know tbe Chartists of C * rli « le , aud we have ne doubt but that they will do their duty nobly ; for they have never yet been behind , when necessity called for thair exertions .

LEEDS DISTUICT . —A . geneval council meeting of this district was held ou Sunday , in the Chartist room , Woortaouao ; it was the b « 8 t and most influential meeting that bos been held for a length of time . None of those disgraceful scenes took place , which for some time past have been of incalculable injury to the cause in this town . All this baa happily got banished , by the withdrawal of about half a dozen individuals from the Association ; and now every thing is conducted with that 8 f irit of unity which characterized the movement this time twelve months back . Not a ' word of ill feeling was heard on Sunday ; none of those abusive epithets , heap 9 d upon one another , because one does not happen to think aa the other . Instead of this , the questions that came before the meeting were
discussed with calmness , and with an earnest desire to do the work for which all had been sent , and to do it in such a manner as would be a benefit to tbe district instead of i » n injury . The district will now flourish ; for union has ones more planted its standard within our borders . Many propositions were discussed , among which were tbe establishing a school , and to have seme talented man to reside in the town to be the master , and likewise to lecture occasionally . The secretary was directed to correspond with one for this purpose . Another proposition was , that Mr . William Bell , of Heywood , should be engaged to deliver seven lecttttea . After a variety of other business was disposed of , the meeting was dissolved , every person present being highly delighted with the proceedings .

BRISTOL . —The Bristol Chartist Youths held their anniversary meeting on Monday evening , at the Ship , Earle street , when they partook of a substantial supper , served up by a Chartist lady , much to the satisfaction of the guests .

Hill ' s letter . BBASFOBD .-The Chartists of Little Horton met on Sunday morning , when the statements of Mr .

Smyth lectsred in the Council Room , on class legislation and the monopoly of the laud . HOL 1 WFIRTH . —It having been announced by placard that an address would be delivered in the Chartists' Room , Kibbloden Road , on the evening of Monday , May 1 st , by Mr . J . Hobson , of Leeds , at the time appointed , that gentleman made hi *
appearance in the Chartists' Room . Yes , thank God ! the Chartists have a rotm of their own ; and such a room that no stranger enters it without being struck with surprise and delight—surprise , that a room t > o large and convenient should be in the possession of a few working men , and delight at the neatness and elegance of the interior . Every part of tho room is whitewashed in the most perfect manneT . The moment you enter the eye meets tho portrait ot * the immortal Robert Emmett ; on the same side is the plate of the National Convention , anil the portrait of the victimised Frost . Then , turning more to the right , and at the upper end of the room , the eye meets the portrait of that lion of democracy , Feargus O'Connor . It
hands' in the middle of a semicircular wreath , com posed of laurel and yew ; over head is the star of ulovy , composed of the tri-colour , the emblem of democracy ; beneath is the piate representing the procession attending the great National Petition oi 3 3 l 7 , 7 i / 2 signatures to the House of Commons in 1842 . To tno right of Feargus O'Connor , Esq , is the portrait of Thomas Sling » by Duncombe , Esq ., M . P , and WiJliam Cobbett , Esq On his left is tho portrait of P , M . M'Douall aud G neral Arthur O Connor . The opposite emi of tho room is similarly adorned with evergreens and portraits , amongst them stands conspicuous the portrait of tho king of tho factory child , Richard Ostler . Upon one of the binders which cross the
room is inscribed in large letters beautifully formed of evergreens , the following inscription : — ' * National Charter Association Room . " And on the other , — " Peace and comfort is our object' , In the centre , between th « two binders is suspended a large transparent tricolour lantern , and upon it ib inscribed the word "liberty . " The whole of the arrangements are to beau'iful , and strike the eyo with such pleasing effect , that to be believed they must be seen . The room on the present occasion was filled to suffocation . Mr . William Cunningham , a whole hog C'horttst , was unanimously elected chairman . Th « Chairman having opened the business of the meeting , Mr . Joshua Hobson presented himself and was received with loud cheers . He commenced his address
by stating that he was neither a professed orator nor a lecturer ; that he was nothing but a working man iike themselves ; that he should do nothing more thau tell them a number of plain facts , in a plain oommon-sense mannner ; for though he could uoc boast of shining abilities , he hoped they would give him credit for being possessed of a small share of ' common sense . He then entered upon the distressed situation of tho country , showing that the distress of the country had been brought about by tha combined operation of high taxation , paper money , and machinery . He showed how the people had been robbed by tne funding system , and entered into such explanations wiih respect to it as were quite new to a largo number of his auditors . He
showed tho hollow pretentions of the Lrague , and that if they could accomplish all they aimed at , nobody woulu be bench ' Utsd but the tax-eater and men of fixed mauey iucomes . The question of tho land also received a portiou of his attention , and he gave it as his opinion that there would be no lasting and radical cure for the distress of iho people until they were in possession of the land and enfranchised . For the space ot nearly two hours Mr . Hobson occupied the attention of his auditors with his statements of facts and figures , and sat down amidst thunders of applause Tne Cnairman then intimated , that if any gentleman wished to say anythiug in opposition to what had been advanced by Mr . Hoboon , ho should be happy to hear
him , and would endeavour to procure for him an impartial aud patient hearing . — -Mr . George Robinson , a member of the anti-Corn Law League , stepped forward and said that he should be happy to avail himself of the offer made by the Chairman . He saiu he had not attended the meeting with any intention of making a speech . He had oomu totally unprepared to do so . Ho had not even taken any notes of what had been said by the preceeding speaker ; but a friend of his had done so , aud aa soon as he could read them , would proceed with liis remarks . Bin iustead of making ouly a few remarks , he commenced a speech which lasted more than an hour , and in a very feeble and confused manner , ran . over all tho
arguments usually advanced upon the subject of free trade by the party to which ho belongs . Mr . J . Hobson again presented himself to tho meeting , During his former address , he had shown but little animation ; but now his whole soul was fired with the materials that his opponent had given him to work upon . His eyes sparkled with intelligence ; his countenance beamed with joy ; he appeared like one who had confidence in the justice of his cause , and of his own abilities to manage it . He answered tbe objections of his opponent point by point ; every answer he gave elicited thunders of well-merited applause . Never was there a more noble defence of the principles advocated by the ChartiBts , than that made by Mr . Hobson , in his reply to Mr . Robindid the of
son . Never before Leaguers Holmfirth receive so severe a thrashing as they did at his hands . The writer of this article never listened to a more noble , a more powerful , and a more complete refutation of all the sophisms of Whiggism , and Corn-Law humbug , than the reply of Mr . Hobsouto Mr . Robinson ; and the confused and disconcerted state of mind exhibited by the latter when he rose a second time , was proof that he was writhing under the weight of the severe blows that he had received from it . Mr . Robinson , on his second appearanoe , began by denying , point blank , that which ho had stated iu his first address ; but he was met by the audience with one simultaneous burst of disapprobation . Such was the strong feeling manifested against him , that it is doubtful vvhe-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR . —My last tetter gave an acconut of my lecture at Kelso and Jedburgh , ( not Edinburgh . ) I next came to Hawick , and although I did nut find tbe Association in such a state of order and unity as it bus been , yet the hearts of the people Were in tbe right place , and what is more , the Chartists have two large stores , where provisions and other necessaries ore Bold , with an extenniYe and thriving business . They began two or three years since , 'with only a few pounds , and sold meal and potatoes three days in tbe week . Tbey now can boast of at least four hundred pounds v ?« rth and have two well-accustomed shops open six days in the week . We bad a very large meeting , ail sizes and sorts , men , women , and children .
I next lectured at Selkirk , where the Duke of Buccleuch , who pessesaes about rive or six hundred thousand acres of God ' s earth , ban fixed one of his seats . I addressed the people in the Market Place , about five yards from the monument of Sir Waiter Scott There is no Association at Selkirk , but the Repealers have been there , and n . s at Jedburgh , thrown i dust in tbe eyes of the uceuspectiog labourers . : Thus you see Sir , if vre neglect our cause , the cunning tricksters don't neglect theirs . I attempted to ehow the people that it was of the first importance to gain political power , as they would then have the means in their hands to protect Iheiv labour , and make all reforms and changes in Government , benefit them as well as tbe capitalist .
I next lectured at Ualashiels , to a very great audience . There are a goed many inhabitants in Galashiela , bat I am afraid not many outright Chartists . I gave two lectures in D . vlkeith , and had a few shots with Mr . Acland . I could not draw him to close quarters . I hnve now lectured twice iu Musselburg , Leith , and Edinburgh , once in Lasswade , Pteaton Pans , and Portabello . The district is all sixes and sevens , and I am only a poor man , and cannot do mere than my share , but I hope in the course of two months to see " Auld Reekie" hold up her head with the proudest . There has been a public meeting called by ticket here , about Sir James Graham ' s bill , but like the handle of a jug , it wont all on « way , the woikies had something else to do .

PROSPECTUS OF A NEW DEMOCRATIC PUPL 1 CATION , TO BE ENTITLED THE LONDON CHARTIST MONTHLY MAGAZINE . " The Charter as a means—social happiness as the end . " ON the 1 st of June will be published , price Six . pence , No . 1 , of a new Periodical , containing thirty-two closely printed pages of original matter demy 8 vo ., enclosed in a neat wrapper , and occasionally embellished with a splendid Engraving , CONTENTS OF NUMBER I .
To our Readers and Subscribers . Progress of Liberty in England , from the earliest period down to the present time . Chartism and Socialism . The Life of a London Dodger . Letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury The Poor Law Martyra ( A Tale ) Chap . I . Autobibgraphy of a Chartist . Poems by a Sufferer under the Present System . News of the Month . Critical Notices . Orbituary , &c , &o .
Chartism having now gained & radical footing in the world , several tried friends of the Canse have been appointed a Committee to supply a desideratum which is beginning to be very sensibly felt . In thi 3 undertaking they have met with encouragement and support from Chartist advocates of all shades of opinion , and particularly from that portion of the public which represents the spirit and the intelligence of the London Trades . They have encountered no opposition , and anticipate none . The aim of the Committee is to produce a work which ciir be lent to neutrals , and even to the enemies of our principles , with the hope that it may awaken apathy and dispel prejudice , and thus
disseminate Chartism in circles from which it has hitherto been excluded : for they feel convinced that Chartism can be made amusing and instructive ; noble , amiable , dignified , and interesting—fit for the drawing-room of the Lord , as well aa the cottager ' s fireside . It can speak with the tongue of the orator , take up the pen of the historian , teach with the philosopher and theologian , as well as declaim wi th the politician ; and can wield the magic wand of romance , sound the lyre of poetry , delineate with the pencil of the topographer—receiving inspiration by turns from each Muse . Churchmen , dissenters , lawyers , doctors , naval and military men , Whig or Tory , all have their Magazines to store up news , to state their claims
to advance their prospects , and to impart information peculiar and interesting to all . Why should not working men have a Magazine to represent their interests , and to promote their elevation in society I Such a Magazine would furnUh them with ready arguments for nse in conversation and debate—with facts for thoughtful minds—with sound and searching truths—with useful , necessary , and profitable information—and would materially assist to gain the Cause of truth and justice . It should be made to penetrate into every town and village , aad reach the hands of every working man . A Portrait , with a Memoir of some eminent patriot , will be given once a quarter , to bind up with the volume ; and an Annual Prize for the best Essay , on some subject relative to democracy .

Oatmeal met only a retail inquiry , at last week ' s prices 67 u 7 loads of Oatmeal form the chief article of lmDort into Liverpool or Runcorn , the amount of all others being very small . There is no cnange to notice in the value of Wheat at our market this morning , and , with but a slow inquiry for the article , few transactions were reported .

ther he would have been heard at all , had it notbeen for the very proper interference of the chairman , who said" now , my friends , let us shew an example such as the League never shewed to us . It is true they will not shew us fair play at their meetings . Let ; us do good for evil—hear them patiently if we stay here while daylight in the morning . " Attention was then given to Mr . Robinson , andjitfwas well that it was so ; for he made a declaration that was highly honourable to the working classes . He declared that he had found by his own
experience that the labouring classes were far more intellectual than the middle classes , aud he should be happy to see a better understandirg exist between them , for h « himself was aii advocate for universal suffrage . It being now after twelve o ' clock , he said he could not think it right to detain the meeting any longer , but would reserve what he had to say to some future time . A vote of thanks was then given to the lecturer , and to the chairman , and the meeting broke up in good order , highly delighted with the proceedings of the evening . —Wm . Cuttell . Sec .

TO TUB EDITOR . OF 1 HE NORTHERN STAR . Queen ' s Prison , Southwark , London . Wednesday Afternoon , May 10 , 1843 . My dear Hill , —Brave old Daddy Richards aud I are stiil bere ; but have received no notice , as yet , wbe'her we are to stay , or be removed to Stafford . The fact of the Judges having specifically appointed my friend George ' s iinprisonmtut of eight months to be passed here gives us some hope that we may be permitted to remain . To one thins ; we have made np our minds—that we tvxll not submit , if sent to Stafford , to be treated as we were be / ore . Although prisoners here , we aie treated like men : and we will not be used like dugs if atjain sent to Stafford . If it be attempted , they shall have a straggle for it , if my life be tbe forfeit .
Let me conjure all who think us worth thinking about , not to think it too much trouble to scrawl us a letter . We shall surely find time to answer , at least before two years' holiday be over , unless the tyrants take steps to stop our scribbling . No more just ' now . The right hand of faith and fellowship to all true Chartists , though we can ' t get at ' em . ' Your ' s , my dear Hill , affectionately , Thomas Cooper .
P . S . —1 hope and trust most devoutly , that my poor Shakapeteans , though tbey be now like " sheep without a shepherd , " will not " cry their eyes out" 1 shall stand iu old Leicester Market Place again , and sing 'Spread the Charter" till the trembling bellies of all the wolves in sheep ' s clothing echo the sound with fear . Look upward and onward , lad * ! and don't be down in the mouth . " Above all , O J rabbet ye ! give over quarrelling ! Your faithful " general" in limbo , T . C .
