T GIVE you all warning to meet me on the 5 th of X July next , with the Newspapers in your hands ; as what I have there said these last three weeks , I shall be able to prove to the full extent , if not more . The new process will bring peace and plenty ; for ' all men good wages , and for masters good profits . I shall fix both profits to masters and wages to men . When I sell Licenses to use my new undertaking , no master shall have less than Ten per cent , profit ; but for years to come , not less than Thirty per cent . I shall regulate wages by a Committee of Workmen , in order to make all shopkeepers happy . You will partake of the goneral gladness ; and landlords of houses will get their rents , as workmen will have something to spare , after filling both their own and their children's bellies .

TO THE AFFLICTED WITH SPINAL DISEASE . GEORGE HAIGH , Crossland ' s Bnildings , Pad dock , near Huddersfield , begs to call the attention of those labouring under that Painful and Distressing Complaint , Affection of the Spine , to his invaluable SPINAL OINTMENT , which has been found , in hundreds of inveterate cases , to be the best Restorative that can be applied . Some of the cases of cure effected by it are beyond belief ; and , were not the parties living , aud perfectly willing , hay , anxious to bereferred to and testify tothe wonderful benefits they have received , the Proprietor of the Ointment dare not mention them , for fear of being charged with an attempt to practise upon the credulity of the Public . The parties , however , are living ; they can be referred to ; and their testimony is of the highest importance to all afflicted with Spinal affection . The following is a receHt case , out of scores , tha the Proprietor could publish : — " Temperance Hotel , Paddock , June , 1842 . / "Sir , —Having for a length of time being afflicted with a Spinal complaint , 1 tried various sorts of medicine , add experienced different sorts of treatment but . all to no purpose . Hearing of the extraordinary cures effected by youj I was induced to place myself in your hands , and use the Ointment prepared by you . In a very few weeks I waa completely restored to my former health and vigour ; all traces of my complaint being completely removed , although I had for a considerable period been incapable of , work or exertion . Gratitude to you , sir , for the invaluable blessing I hava- received at your hands induces me to thus address you ; hoping that yon will make the case public , so that others , suffering as I once did , may know where to find a cure , .. ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦¦ •¦ ¦ ¦ ' . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦; Iam . Sir , . /¦ . ;¦ ¦ . - . :- ¦ ' .. - , ¦ ¦ ¦" . ¦ . ¦ . Yours , very gratefully , George Armitage . " Mr . George Haigh . " ; ¦ . ¦ ¦ <' : ¦ . / In addition to the above , the Proprietor would also name the cases of the daughter of Mr . 'El . ka ' na . - , 'Purnar , of Ovenden , near Halifax ; Mra . Rowbettom , wife of Mr . RowbDttom , draper , at Hyde ; and of Mrs . Denton , wife of Mr . Denton , shoemaker , Macclesfield . The first , Miss Turner , had completely lost the use of her limbs : in about six months she was restored to perfect health . Mrs . RowbottDm had been confinfcd to her bed for a number of years , nearly twelve : in three months she was able to rise and sit up ; and now she is completely restored ^ Mrs . Denton had also been for a long period confined to her bed : by Using the Ointment a few times , she was abli to go to market ; and in a very short time indeed was completely restored . Every additional infomation will be given at the Shop of Mr . J . Hobson , News-agent , ' Market Walk , Huddersfield ; also at Mr . Pitkethly's , 34 , Buxton Road , Huddersfield ; and at Mr .

He made appalling statements relative to the poverty of the people in different parts of ihe country ; but more especially in the parish of Halifax , as being beker acquainted with i + s situation than any other district . He concluded by condemning , ia very strong terms , the idea c > - physical force ; and then introduced Mr . P . I \ l Bropby , who , aiter addressing the meeting for a
considerable time on the importanc 6 "Of union , and of rhos ^ prtsea ; jo ! n ; ng in the agitation for the wLole Charter , as a means to amend iheir wretched condition , concluded by n , oving that a Committee of twenty-one be appointed by this meeting to get up a requisition to the chief constable to convene a public meeting to take into consideration the best possible means of staying the impending ruin of the middle classes , and tne demoralised and pauperised condition of the working cla-ses generally .

E . rJackhouse , Esq ., •' seconded the resolution , which was carri d unani- i doubly . Tha second resolution , - 'hich- was moved \ by Richard Spoor , E-q ., and seconded by another I gtnt eman , appointed u commiuee for the purpose : of rrtiVc : iag I ' uncs and superintending th-j applica- ;
tion of the same , for the purpose stated iu tae first re--o : ntion .

to disappoint the asr-eablage , who apparently anticipated Something like the usual quantity of speech making , or at any me , taut some information relative to the extent of dirircs 3 in . tho town , and contemplate i measures of relief , shuuld be brought forward . Tms abrupt termination ot the proceeding , there is iittls doub ; arcse from a nervous dread of Cfisrtist resolutions and amendments- ; it was not , however , domed aivi ~ able by the friends of the Charter to bring forward their views , unless the proceeding of other parties should afford a legitimate opportunity for doint ; so . This was net the case , and as the wealthy cannot pretend that their benev-lei ; t iff ^ ris have been thwarted , ft is hoped that they will prove the genuineness of their sympathy by tre liberality of their aid . ihethanks of the Inee : ing were then givtu to tho Caairman by acclamation . At the ebse or the meeting £ 110 was subscribed b ~ sentlemea present .
WOI , VSKHA 2 TPTON . —Pcbuc Oynca . JluSBiT , Jvsb 13 x 11 . —liie casu of Mr . Mason and the constable of Sc-Gj ; ly came on on Monday last , at ihe puoiic ofics , ia tbis town . Mr . Mason , being called npon by the M ag istrates , walked " up ti the front of the bench . The great interest taken in the case produced a general sensation throughout the Court whsaever thas gentleman was called upon . Mr . Mason having conformed xo the rules of the court , tne magistrate desired him to state his case Jir . M . proceeded to state as follows : —'' Gentlemen , by the desire of a considera ble number-of the people of the parish of Se < ijdy , I visited that place on Friday evening , June the 3 rd , to deliver an address on the principles of the People's Charter .
The place whero the met-ting was held is , I under-Et-jua , cailed the Bull S ake . Mr- Mogg accompanied me , and addr ^ sed ihe " meeiiag first . He Epoka for a short time , curing which the people were very attentive , and concluded by-introducing me to the meeting . A bench had been supplied for as to sand on by a goad woman of the village . I ascended the bench to address the pr-opie ; they "were very attentive and peaceable . While proceeding in my address , having o ^ i y spoken bet-veen five and ten minutes , the person who stands at the bar came crushing through the people ia a violent manner , and approachedme . Hespoketo me as follows : Sir , youare nsin ^ excitinglaiiguage , aDdorderedmetocome down . I replied , that if my language wis illegal he could
take is down , and 1 would be responsible to the law for it . He said do more , but seized hold of the ; bench on which I stood . I then said to him that he ; vr&s acting very illegally and improperly . While thus remonstrating with him , he pulled the bench from beneath me , and threw " me from it in a most brutal manner . I ceTtainly should have been injured but for two or three persons , who sustained me from falling to tne ground by receiving me into their anu 3 . I will not , gentlemen , refer to the consequences of this outrage , and the proceedings which have taken place elsewhere . " The following day I applied for a warrant , which is now before the- court , to prosecute the person who now stands at the bar . Having submitted the fact 3 of the- case , I now
appeal to your justice , to determine the redress I can pro-iuce witnesses to confiim my charges . Magistrate—What are their names ? Mr . Mason—The first is Mr . Mo ^ g ^ He was then called upon . Magistrate—Were youVt this me-eungl Mr . » . — I was . Magistrate—Wed , s : ate what you have to Eay . Mr . Mo ^ g then stated that he had been eye witness to the whole , and said that every one present on that occasion could undoubtedly prove the truth of Mr . Mason ' s statements . Magistrate"What was the language Mr . Mason was usidj ; when B 2 amaa , the countable , cama to him ? . Mr . Mo £% — I recollect the language well ; it was as'follows : — "It was , " said he , ' * laid down in Scrip : urr , that He who did not work , neither should he eat ; but "
said he , " by a strange perversion of jostice , the most industrious of society were perishiug for want , while the idle were enjoying every comfort the world can afford , and revelling in ever j luxury . " Magistrate—And what would you infer from thit 1 Would it imply that those who were out of wurk shonid go and take it ! Mr . Mogg—I was not aware tha ; there were any present who were out of ¦ wor k ; bat thi 3 language could only apply to tho ; . who wore working . Magistrates—H * ve you attended aay other msetin ^ s with Mr . Mason I I have . Magistrate—Where ! I was at a meeting with Mr . Mason a few "wetks oko , which was held on th- - Wrekin ; also , I was at a meeting with him lately held in Wolrerhampion . Tnere were 30 , 000 persons
at the former . Constable—Will your Worships lei me pus a question to Mr . Mason I Magistrates—Certaicly . Constable—Did you hold a meeun £ at Sodim Uhis village is about a mile from Sedgly ) the night befare joa came to Sedgly 1 Mr . ' Mason—i ; was noi at that meeiing you assaulted me . I am here to prove the charges 1 have made against you . 1 caiiaot , see iha * meetings held elsewhere have anything to do with this ase . Magistrate—Perhaps you will answer the question , as other " meetings have been referred to . Mr . Mason—As you have desired it ,. I have no o ^ eiion . 1 did hold a meeting there . Constable—Were there many persons came up with you to Sedgly 2 Mr . MoSjb— There were several . Cons : able—Hew * rasv ! Mr . Mason—1 cannot tell
I did not deem itnec * S 3 ary to count them . Constable —Huve you not been inci-. cted for attending that meeting ? ( . This was evideutiy the arrangement to f jil the case . The pi ^ heaaod scamp had been , no doubt , specially laught to grunt out this sentence . ) Mr . Mason—I have ; but that is for an alleged act subsequent to your outrage upon me , and which your conduct had led t- > . Constable—Your Worships , I am bound over to appear against Mr . Llason a . ' , thd General Q / iarter Sessions . Ihe magistrates here consulted for a few minutes- a-la-farce . Tney then addressed Mr . Masoa , and stated they would dismiss the case ; but that he ( Mr . M . ) could appeal to a higher Court . Mr . Mason replied ,
that he cart&inlj would . Then , Eaid Mr . M ., what am I to understand from this case ! Am I not only to be tubject to legal prosecution for the language 1 nuy use , but am I also to be subject to the most brutal treatment from a petty constable , upon the . mere charge that I am using exciting language ? Magisgrates—We can say nothing : the ' constabk is charged to preserve the peace . Mr . Mason—Well , then , I now understand what I am to expect from the law and authorities . Mr . M . thtn bowed , and left ths Court . The most profound attention pervaded the whole Court daring the hearing of the case . We understand that Beamsn has implicated himself wito falsa evidence to commit Mr . Mason

and that a prosecution for perjury will be institute against him . Mr . Masou visited Sedgly , on friday evening last , and delivered an address of upwards of an hour . It was a very large meeting ; and the people have hailed the principles of the Chartir with unsurpassable enthusiasm . It is impossible to describe what the conduct of this stupid constable has done to promote our principles . Mr . l ^» J tow also present , and offered a few remarks . Mr . Mason having to return to Birmingham that evening , the whole mass of the people marched with him at least a mile on his way to Bilston , where he was to take ccach . When they stopped to return , Mr . M . and Mr . Linr . -ey eDJoined them to keep the peace . Three cheer 3 -were given ' for the Charter ; three tor Mx . Jlason ; and three for the Chartists ofSedgly .

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —It is a * reed on all hands that great distress 3 t present exi « ts throughout tho trading world . Of its cause , a multiplicity of opinions are afloat . w CTh » p » , amongst the many , you will allow mo to give mine . It is well known that during the protracted war with France , under the reign of Bonaparte , the landed interest , or aristocracy of England , " pledged their lives and fortunes" in support of our Government . How was this p ' edgo fulfilled ? Why , they ereatod a fictitious capital , which said fictitious capital enabled them to double , yea , treble their rentals . At the conclusion of tho war , they procured the enactment of the Corn Laws , by tho operation of whicn thpy hive contrived to retain those rents to this day . ,
But whilo ihey passed the Corn Laws to protect themselves , they also passed measuivs to restore the old standard of money : or , in othnr words , to greatly curtail what they afterwards called that ' fictitious capita }' which had trebled their rents , and affected the prices of prouuee and all existing contracts to an almost incaicu able extent . If the landed interest would not be seltifh , there would be no complaint against Government , do what thfy might . Could opeia ^' ive- gtt huflicient at present , there would bo a good trade in Lngland , independent of any foreign trade . I would recommend Government tj supply tho wants of iht ; needy until , my new manufacture tits into operation , aud then tho cry against our rulers will be at an end , and plenty once more appear in the laud . ¦ i
Nowj what etFcct had those measures upon tha manufacuniig and comnurcial interest \ for , mark , the landed in . erest-, i . e \ the landlords , had protected the : i selves from the consequences of their own acts by the Coin BUI of 1815 , enacted for the purpose of keeping up the produce of the land to ¦ . rar prices . What ( fiyct had their measures upon me for instance- ? for iny ca-e was the case of thousands , aiioii will fully iilmtrato the confiscating nature or' the measure theu passed . I had at the nine th- ' *^ ui j-suros wcro determined ou upwards
of £ 120 . 000 value in manufactured cloth and in wool , wfiiitj . I Jia < i another i' 80 , 000 sunk iu mills and machinery . What did all Uiis property sell for I I-ess thau £ oU , ( . 0 i ) ! !! Hire was confiscation 1 Here was a , siveepuig away ! ! Upwards of £ 120 . 000 sik- ; itly , but Lfl ' cctually , filched from me — uue individual , — by Acts oi the Parliament ! Mine was but the case of thousands . Judge taen of the alteration oiauc in tho value ot property by the measures of our law-makers affjcting the standard oi value .
Let it be borne in mind , that all articles of wear are now disposed of at . one half the prices they were forty or fiuy years age I challenge any one to disprove these facts ; and I ask . Sir , if this be the way to administer justice wi'h impartiality and to give equal protection to the community V I am , Sir , yours truly ,
WILLIAM HIRST . Leeds , Jane 6 th , 1842 . P . S . Was not the wool duty laid on for the benefit of the landed interest , ajid kept on for years , till the foreigners began to manufacture for themselves , I and undersell the regular manufacturers in the London market ? Then the duty was altered p and at the time this measure was passed I bad . ' by me 500 , 00011 b . weight of wool , for which 1 had paid about £ 14 , 000 duty 11 When the measure was passed , I applied to Government for redress , but none could be afforded ! That measure took eut of D ) y pocket upwaruaof £ 20 , 000 111 W . H .

TO THE EDITOR OF XHB NORTHERN STAR . Sib , —We have read most attentively your , letter in last week ' s Star , and deeply lament the unhappy differences between you and the leaders of the people , because all such differences weaken the cause , di « 8 a tisfy the people , and ple&se ( ke ruffians whoiob labour of-its u \ i 6 reward , and trample on the dearest rights and privileges of man . With your conduct as an Editor generally we are perfectly satisfied , and we . see nothing in your
criticisms on the Sturge Conference to give offence , nor to have caused the Tituperation heaped upon yoa . As regards the letter of the Executive , we think you are perfectly right' and justifiable in altering any sentence that is imprudent , or would bring the Proprietor of the Northern Star into trouble ., or in the slightest damage our caiise . And those who will not aliovvof such a prudent step being taken , ( without considering it injustice . ) are possessed of a species of egotism which we will never countenance either in friends or foes .
We hope the leaders of the people , and the people themselves , will profit by the example of common enemies by having no visible disputes whereon the world can taunt them with folly , a ? on our union mainly depends the Buocess . of pur cause . You , Sir , have our best thanks for the zeal you have displayed in our cause , and for the lynx-like eye which you have always had ion open foe and pretended friend ; » nd we hope all . those now marshalled under thei banners of Chartism , will" agree to differ" on minor / points , and stick like ^ leather together , till we have safely pi lotted our good ship Charter over the Stormy waves of political conten tron , and landed her Eafely in the harbour of St . James ' s .
All thase who are honestly struggling in the cause have our warmest gratitude , and we hope lor the future no mora storms . If you can find room in next' . week ' t Star-, for our opinions on your lettec , you will oblige our membtrs . W . ' Aitken . Ashton-under-Lyne , June 15 , 1842 .

FORCE . Chartists of North Lancashire , look out ! For the last week the profligate organ of deviiisni has been devoting its poison to your destruction . Some hireling makes apeechea for you and sends them-to the " Bloody Old Times . " O ! how the cowardly ruffian would delight in strengthening the hands of despotism by a physical force outbreak ; and how its columns would teem with advice to the jury class if some score Chartists could be entrapped into an . act of "Times" -made treason . Remember b . 3 w the Times' tool influenced the minds of the
jury class against Frost , and then began to sympathise with its victim . Remember that Powell , the reporter of the Times , boasted in my presence , at the Beaufort Arms , Monmouth , that he had paid ten pounds for the Times , ' for the indictment whicn . -was . sworn to have , been served on Frost . Remember that , and remember how delightfully it would be to Old Mother Walter ^ to find me in Lancaster Castle , instead of on the hustings at Nottingham , where with GodV help , he shall meet me . Remember that the men who recommend you to a physical outbreak will , upon the day of trial , be absent . Remember that North Lancashire is not England , and that the Times is not ourjriend . Remember that the Times is , out
of all comparison , the most vile , corrupt , and blackguard print published in the whole world . Remember that old Walter and the Times hallooed the ' jury class and the nation upon Frost , and hunted him down ; that old Walter afterwards began , like a hypocrite , to praise Frost , to serve his own base purposes . In short , Chartists , don't play the game of the Times ; for if you do , it will be "head you lose , harp the Times wins . " See what a triumph you wbuld give the intellectual Chartists ! and those very felloivs have their emissaries , under the mask ot Chartists , trying to damn your cause , and sow the seed of dissewaion among you . Yes , it is the moral force Sturgites , some of whom were the most violent of the physical force men in 1839 , who would glory in your madness .
As Beesly says , show me 100 , 000 men , of twentyone years of age , and all armed , and then we ' ll be talking to the bloody Old Times . Don ' t get shot without the honour of returning the compliment , however the Times and your z ^ al may make you mad for a moment . . . God knows I am astonished how you have borne oppression so long and so tamely ; yet , will I not council you to jump " out Of the frying pan into the fire . " Believe me , that in less than two months , the shopkeepers will be talking about physical force , and so will the landlords ; then it . will be fashionable ; but should you begin it , it would be thought vulgar , and all would join to put your physical force down .
Thei Times knows that the tariff must fail , and that Peel must then either reduce the expenditure , or suspend the Habeas Corpus Act ; not that he would desire it , but his party will force him into revolution before they will allow him to lessen the mess for the idle paupers . Your affectionate Friand , F . eargus O'Connor .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —As your very valuable journal is ever ready to advocate the poor man ' s rights , we , the Chartists of Matlock wish through it to call the attention of our Chartist brethren throughout the country to the case of James Duffy , the noble advocate of the people ' s rights . Ic is well known that a shore , time since he was what we may term well to do , as a traveller , but through his patriotic z ^ at in the cause which he now advocates , he lost his situation . We are very sorry to learn that he now is in very reduced circumstances , and his health ,
we fear , is beyond human skill to recover ,-brought on by the severe usage at Nortballeiton Gaol , for advocat-JDg our cause . Now there are betwixt four and five hundred Chartist associations ; if each asspciation would but give 6 ne shilling to this poor but good man , it would enable him to put himself in a small way of business ; remembering that many may help one when one cannot . "help a ^ ^ many , we think it the dutyof every honest Charlist to show to the foes of freedom that our leaders are not to be ruined , but that we look upon them with respect . We have forwarded our mite , we hope that others will go aud do likewise .
We feel confident that this appeal -will not bo made ia vain . We wish Mr . Hobson to have the kindness to be the treasurer .

" An awful responsibilit y rests oa you ; ruin and destitution are making rapid strides through the oountry ; all classes are discontented ; all agree that a chan ge is inevitable ; various are the plans proposed ; and it depends on you whether the Charter shall be the grand panacea or not .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Newport , Salop , June 15 th , 1842 . Sir , —Observing , in your paper of Saturday last , an aunouncement of a delegate meeting tor Salop and Stafford , with , an inumation that the delegates ^ their arrival , would icquire for me , and that I should conduct them to the place of meetinii ' i I beg leave ¦ to say that if any parties were really desirous of holding such meetine , 1 think , before fixing on me the responsibility of providing a place of meeting , they might have Forwarded a few linos iomeor some otl er person in the town , to the end that we might have had aii opportunity of making some arrangement for the accommodation of the expected meeting . But , Mr . Editor , I had not the most distant idea
that any such meeting was in contemplation , noc having seeu tho Star for three weeks until late last night . You will , therefore , judge my surprise on . reading the announcement , when 1 inform you that / have liot received , by letter or otherwise , the slightest iutimauon from the parties , whoever they may be , who intend to get up the said meeting . Therefore , I cannot help thinking that it is " a weak invention of theeueniy . " I have received a letter by this day ' s post , from Messrs . Danks and Fairburn , of Wednesbury , reqviesiing to know the originators of the meeting , the na ure of business to be brought forward , and other particulars ; but not being able to give them tho slightest information , I wrote back to that effect . ¦ '' .- '
Having every reason to believe that the expected meeting will prove a hoax , I hope you will be so kind as to devoe a corner ofyour valuable paper to this , in hopes , if it is so , that the heartless originators of the scheme may be exposed . I should indeed be sorry to be in the Blightest degree the cause , though unintentional , of any party putting themselves to a troublesome and unnecessary journey . And I remain , Mr . Editor , Yours , in the pursuit of justice , FREDERtCK MaCKLIN . [ We advise the party who sent the announcement not to attempt another hoax upon us . —Ed ] .
