iiA > CHESTER "BLOODIES" AGAIN : THE -WORLD SOES O > " ! 10 THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —I yesterday saw placards , announcing thsi Mr . Gibson would address the electors of No . 1 District , and not having bad the honour of seeing him on his former Tiait to Manchester , although I offered'to fltd a room capable of holding 500 persons , at least , in ¦ which , had he consented to occupy it , I should hare both seen and heard him . This offer , however , was defined , and the building in Nicholas Croft TOW used , no doubt for some -prudent motive , instead . I re solved to hear him on Monday evening , although I had an EspeeiaJ duty to perform , and put questions to hivn for my euManoe—supposing that an election is likely
sous to rake place . It -was betwixt nine and ten o'clock iu th « eTening -when I ltft home . I walked as quickly as possible , by myself , and expected to meet hut . in the Cammittee-room , st the Cotton Tree . Whas , however , I got in sight of the place , I beheld a crowd extending nearly across the street , and some one speaking . I made my way up to within about two yards of the gentleman , and asied a man in front of me , in a lotr Toice , who it was , and he answered , Mr . Gibson . He -was then concluding bis speech . After which Mr . Waiter , magistrate , got upon the chair , and addressed the people , in doing which he exhorted them to do thrir cut ? as before , and return Mr . Gibson by a tr . inrr . pbant majority as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament , and asked if any one wished
to put any questions to Mr . Gibson , as he was a"bout to retire . Instantly a man in the crowd asied how far Mr . G . ¦ would extend the suffrage , and his reply -was , ( after a short consultation with Mr . Walker and other fri ~ D < is . ; that it was a question upon which he had n * t ms-de up his mind exactly how far to go , whether to Stop at household or to give to such as might be only lodgers ; but he would promise that if any measure should be brought in to extend it , he would give it hi * consideration , and if it met with his view it should have his support . Any other question was then called for by Mr . Walker . I ihen said , & 3 the answer to the qu ** rfoa did not satisfy me , allow me to put it in another form . " If you should be returned as member for Manchester , and if I as an elector were to send you a t > eution for Universal Suffrage , would you
support its prayer , and bring in a motion to that effect V Bfc KuVd be would present the petition , but would not promise to support it . Here the Whig confusion began by groans , yells , and down -with the Tory , & . c ic . I told Mr . Walker that I was sorry to find myself in such bad company , and being apprehensive of personal Tioience , 1 claimed and insisted cpon his magisterial protection . He , in reply , said there was no danger / 1 told him that from what had taiea place at the Town H *' " ' . end the . bloody assault in Stephensbn ' s-sqnare , June - 2 : ^ . and Carpenter ' s Hall , June 5 : h , I bad g o od reason t « believe there was danger . I took hold of hii arm and solicited his aid through tee crowd . W&got across th ~ street but still were Eurrounded by the Irishmen : I said I waanot safe , and here some of the po ' . ice car ^ v up to us . 1 solicited their assistance which they realli" rendered .
1 wisa 'bus publicly to ackaowlelge the kindness of Mr- "B- ' tilirrr in particular , and aiso the officers of the p-j ' . ice , a ? tr * H as the friends of all who accompanied me L 32 is perfectly safe . iir . Walker in taking leave of me at the gates , said if I would join them in thtir attempt to rspcal the Corn Lvws , I should -not require their protection . I told him I was much obliged to him for his advice , but that as I was of age , I should thick , jn-. ige , and act for nmeif . 1 am extremely sorry tha : some of my friends had their faces bruised -and hei"ls > rc > ken in their desire to protect me , and hope -tbej ynil sot blame me for it I remain , Sir , Yours , truly and respectfully " , James Schofield .

MEETING IN TIB-STREET ROOMS , MAN
CHESTER , ON SATURDAY , AFTER THE BUTCHERY . The prr-ple who had gone to the Hal ] , and others who w ~ rt- keeping a sharp look out , during ' all these proceed : ugs , assembled in the Tib-street room , until it was so crammed that it would contain no more . A youruj man from the country was called to the chair . Ke opened the proceedings by denouncing the tyrannical and brutal proceedings of the Jrishmea , and also the authorities for not projecting thf inhabr . s ^ ts cf Manchester , while they were holding a ptivrimle meeting . He then called upon Mr . HaE ^ cileld , of S ' . ockport , who , in addressing the mee-u ^ - . vas equally as severe in denunciation as the chairman . Mr . Griffin next rose to address the
meeting , and was received with a curst of cheers , t ie said i ]" . 3 t a irark of respect Lad been paid to hiri . for vrhich he thanked them . They knew he wa- \\ , i . orvant of the people , ajd connected with th-: >'" -jr . v Cheer 3 . " ) But it was not upon these ground * hi : claimed their attention ; but because he , lik-- thftsielves , was a slave , and because he . was an iuhabkant of Manchester , and what had been wrorigfn' / iy termed a free-born Englishman . ¦ tO . etrs . ; " And , lastly , because when the iron haud of dt .-pu-irin , which had been put into operation that day . : v . iis encroachments upon their right b and liwrtir--, he being one of the same ciasss , those eneroa ^ hoi-nts were made upon his rights also . ( Cheers . ) Mr . GnfBn proceeded to make a
comparison between the conduct of the Whigs in Stephenson ' 5-5 quare , on "Wednesday , and that of the Chanisii , - . he former pretending to denounce " phj-Acai force" while they commuted such barbarities , whilst the latter were ' put into gaol for doing nothing in compar ? on with it . He also commented , in bold and forcible terms , upon the conduct of Sir Charles Shaw , and ; he police , on the same occasion , and proved ihit the Whigs could hold an oat-door meeting and have protection , while the Chartists could aot have an in-door one , without having the bludgeon-men , the magistrates , the police , and if necessarv , ihtjsoldiers aeainst them . ( Hear , hear . ) It
had come to this , that if a man had the misfortune to h 3 Te the ignominious addition of Chartist attachedro hiscame , his right 3 . 1 iberties , and life , were all a farce , and could be sacrificed with impunity . In reference to the same meeting , he added : —It had taken no less than fifteen hundred pounds to get np thai miserable and shabby procession , and to assemu :: about ( at the very highest calculation ) three ihou'sand people , whilst the Chartists , for less Than ten pounds , bad three times the number . ( Hear , hear . ) Aad every one was completely blind who could not see at once , that they were not . able to earrv anv motion in Manchester , without the
assistance of the Irish Repealers . This , then , was the bone of contention , and the crime of the Chartists , being able to beat the cotton lords in free disenssion . < Cheer ? . Then , if such is the case , who is to be blamed \ Are the poor deluded Irishmen ? - No . Much as he deplored the circumstances which had taken place , and sorry as he was to see the heads and faces of his unfortunate fellow-creatures cut . and mangled—horrified as he had been in seeing men led to the Infirmary covered with blood , he would not injure a single hair of the poor Irishman ' s head ; but be would aim a blow , if any , and crack the heads of those who had embittered their minds against the Chartists , by foully representing them to be ia the pay of the Tories—( hear , hear)—those who say
that the Chartists are Orangemen , and those who tell them thaf the Chartists are enemies to a Repeal of the Union—( hear , bear)—and farther , those who could vindictively set ont a report that the Chartists were about to burn the effigy of Daniel O'Connell and Father Hearne . ( Hear , hear . ) The speaker continued for some time longer , and , . in order that no disturbance might occur which would bring the people cither into collision with the Whigs or the anthoritirs , he would move an adjournment of the meeting , leaving the question to be taken up again by the inhabitants of Manchester . —Mr . Chambers , who had that day declared that , from what he had seen , he would join the Chartists , rose to second it . In doing which , ha said the Chartists had gained great
credit from their conduct that week , and that the other party had brought a lasting disgrace upon -their beads . A gentleman rose to make an amendment , which was to the effect , that the next time they assembled every man should be armed , to meet force by force . Mr . Griffiths rose , and objected to that , because it would be illegal . " He would let every man please himself ; therefore he would object to sueh an amendment being made . The above gentleman said be bad hitherto been a Whig , but he ¦ was surfeited with them . The Chairman then put the motion , and it was carried unanimously . A number of hats had been destroyed at the meeting , which the people present subscribed for , and replaced with new ones . A vote of thanks was given
to the Giairman , and the meeting dispersed , leaving the inhabitants to ascertain for themselves whether public opinion is to be stifled or not . Our correspondent adds : — " After the above meeting had eoneluded , I learned that a young man , of the name of Cairus , had received a most brutal beating , and lost eight of his teeth , and his npper lip was nearly cut off , besides other wounds about his body . 1 saw him , and found it was correct , and that Mahon was dreadfully wounded , and was led home , and also many others , whose names I could not then get . A young Ban gave me a dagger which he had picked np , that had been dropped amongst the Irishmen . I then went to the Infirmary , and requested to see Mr . Wheeler , and after great solicitation I
was shown the ward in which he lay . When I entered , Wheeler was very glad to see me . I asked bi « i bow be was ! He said he was very poorly axd faint from the loss of blood . His head was then bleeding , notwithstanding the plasters which had been put upon it . I assisted him to lift his head a little from the pillow , and oa viewing his head , I fomnd it was cut dreadfully in six or seven different places , and the sheets and pillow were saturated with blood . He appeared to want to be got home , and requested i would tell his friend 3 to fetch him . I immediately went and told bis wife and son-in-law , wbo repaired to the Infirmary for the purpose of bringing him away , but they were neither allowed t * Bee him nor bring him home . I inquired bow be was on Sunday , and was told be was worse , and

still in the Infirmary . I then went to Mr . John Fielding , M . P . who was at the Moseley Amm , had an interview with him , and he requested 1 would furnish him with the facts respecting both meetings , with which I complied . A committee has been chosen for the purpose ot gathering all particulars , which , when obtained , will be handed to him . We will then leave bun to deal with the matter as he may deem prudent . At the usual boor for commencing the meeting on Sanday evening , I went to the Tib-street room , which , to my surprise , was abut up , and a number of Irishmen about it . They snrrounded me and faithfully promised me I should not be injured . We beld a discussion in the open street , my friends every moment expecting I should get my head cracked . We discussed a many topics , and in the most friendly manner ; they assured me that it was not their
intention to have molested the Chartists that evening . They had come for the purpose of arriving at some understanding with the Chartists . In conclusion , and before leaving them , I told them it was not my desire to state anything that was contrary to truth , and asked them the reason why they prevented the meeting taking place on the Saturday . They said they had heard thai the Chartists were about burning the effigy of Daniel O'Connel and Father Hearne . They gave me great credit for moving a resolution , denouncing both parties , and for a placard which I had written , calling upon the electors of Manchester to vote for a Radical , and support neither Whigs nor Tories . If the Chartists would only cease denouncing Daniel O'Connell , and opposing the Corn Law repeaitrs , and not support the . Tories , they said they would join them , go with , and , by God , fight for them . I told them they could not make that promise and left them . "

DEFEAT OF THE GRAND TORT GATHERING , AT ST . ANDREWS HALL . ( Abridged from tht Norwich Mercury . ) Oa Wednesday , a meeting was convened by public advertisement , " For the purpose of preparing an address or petition to her Majesty , praying that she would be graciously pleased to dismiss from her councils her present advisers , and to call thereto such men as would restore c « nfidence to tht ) country , and give the people tUeir just rights . " Many of the subscribers to toe Requisition having been admitted to the hustings , through ihe Workhouse , and being found in possession , a working man on the platform said " 1 wish to ask & question , that is , how did you come on these hustings btf jre the doors are opened ? ( Cries of how did you come on ?) I demand ' . hat the doors be thrown open . ( Cries cf did you come ia by the railroad ? He came in by the steam boat . How did you come in ? He came from Noah ' s a r k , and uproarious laughter . )
When the doors were thrown open , the Chartists pouted In in iniintnse numbers , and thronged towards lue orchestra in front of tie speakers . Dover , the Chartist hader , cliuibed up to the platform , and the people followed iu such numbers , that many parties t ^ an to be alarmed for their spfety . A placard was exhibited , ' ¦ Universal Suffrage , und No Surrender , " and handed to a party who stationed himself with it in front of the chair . Tb . 9 uproar was immense , and the scene almost beggared description . Dovek s a id , recollect , that is Whiggery ; the Chartists have nothing to do with that Mr . Big . nold attempted to move that CoL Harvey take the chair , when a Chartist named Porland moved that a working man should take the chair , and proposed that ilr . Hinds do so , amidst cries of No , no ; Yes , yes , and iiumense cheers and uproar .
CoL Hartky came forward amidst as great a confusion and combination of sounds as we ever heard or witnessed . Cheers , groans , shouts , c lapp ing of hands , and all kinds of noises were put in requisition to prevent the Colonel heing heard . A man in the crowd proposed that they should hear what might be said to them , when he was assailed by cries of Doe s Capt Money pay you !'' ic Mr . Dover asked if the chair was taken , and was answered in the nagative , when he proposed that the Mayor be requested to take his police out of the hall . The uproar and gr « aning continued and increased . Mr . Bigsold attempted to address the meeting , when the placard demanding Universal Suffrage was again thrust forward , and the uproar continued to increase . Mr- Pub . la . nd again moved that a working man take the ckair .
Mr . Big . nold moved that Col . Harvey be called to the cbair , anu \ ho two prop sitions bavin ; , ' been put to a shew of lianiis . he declared Col . Harvey to have the majority , and thrust him into the chair , amidst uproar , cheers , groans , and cries of " Put a working man in the chair , " "That resolution was carried , " " Turn Cl' 1 . Harvry out . " > ir . Pckla > d dtnianded that Himls should have the chair , and ilcsired CoL Harvey to come out of it . Mr . John Hlkrell , a working man , said—It is much better for you to be quiet , and let Mt . Bijfnold and other parties addres 3 you . ( Loud cries of No , no . ) Mr . Dover sai < l—1 beg leave ta move that Mr . Money and the Whigs be requested to take their police out of the Hall , » nd all will be right , i Cries of bravo , and cheers . )
Mr . Joh > " Pallest came forward . ( Cries of " Ton promised to purchase that man , H u r rell , a new coat ") He could nut obiain a hearing beyond requesting the meeting to be quiet , and take a fair decision . Mr . Dover came forward amidst much cheering . He said—Gentlemen , there seems to be a righting for the chairman ; as you "Whigs and Tories cannot agree , let ' s propose a Chartist ehairman . I propose that Mr . Matthew Smith take the chair . ( Immense cheering , " Is he a working man ? "' " Yes , yes , he's a weaver , ^ e'a a working man . " The show of hands for Smith to take the chair was larger than that for either of the other two parties previously proposed , and the uproar was again extreme ; Mr . Bignold refused to consent to CoL Harvy ' se leaving the chair .
Smith came from the back of the orchestra and stood behind the chair . Several of the Chartists cried out , turn old John Harvey out ; and at length it was agreed that Col . Harvey should vacate the chair , which announcement was enthusiastically received by the Chartists . HuaRELLSMd—Colonel Harvey wishes to speak to the meetiug first . ( Groans , cheers , and great confusion . ) Col . HiSVET arose , w hen be wa s assa i led b y repeated cries of sit down John , 'tis no use John , don't
hear him , let Smith come to the chair , take the chair first , come Matthew get in the chair Matthew , and shouting , groaning , and immense uproar . He made a second a ; tempt equally futf le with the first The most stentorian vuice must have been drowned in the immense tumult All that could be heard from the Gallant Colonel was the imploring supplication , " will you allow me . ' Finding it useless to attempt to address the m eeting , he left the chair , tnd with his friends retired from the Hall amidst the hootings , jeers , and shouts of the Chartists , who now considered themselves in undisputed possession .
Mr . MATTHEW Smith having been placsd in the chair , rose to address the meeting , but for some time in rain attempted to proceed . Groans , cheers , noise , and uproar ; cries of go on , cut in , will you consent to have Mr . Hines ? No , no , yes , yes , silence , t he pa r so n s aud Tories have all left the Hall . Order being in some measure established , Dover csmfc forward amidst a great variety of salutations , and , in a Bpeech of the most telling kind that we have read for a long time—( we are sorry that the demands upon eur space oblige us to withhold it , though in type)—proposed the first resolution . Mr . Thos . Hewitt »» conded the resolution in an excellent speech . The resolution being put , was carried without opposition . Mr , John Hurrell moved the second resolution . Mr . Samuel Steward seconded the resolution , which was carried without opposition .
Mr . Samuel Goat addressed his audience as fellow sufferers . He would have come forward to address them as freemen this day , but when he looked around and saw the slaves that were toiling in their streets , lints , and xnar tet-piace , he felt compelled to address them as slaves and sufferers under the exis-ting institutions of their country . < Hear , hear . ) They were aware that the preceding resolutions had been expressive of their sense of the omissions and commissions of the factions which had ralod them with a rod of iron . He now stood before them for the purpose of moving a resolution to express their opinion , whether or not those despotic ruitrs should continue to rule the destinies of the nation .
" That it is the opinion of this meeting that her Ma jesty ' s Ministers have greatly injured the industrious classes of Great Britain and Ireland , by placing the elective franchise in the hands of the middle classes , whose sympathies for their poorer neighbours have long since ceased to exist , do therefore resolve to memorialise her Majesty to dismiss her Majesty ' s ad v ise r s , and call to her council * such men as will make the People ' s Charter the law of the land . Mr . Clarke seconded the resolution in a lengthened harangne . The resolution was carried nem con . Mr . Goat then moved the following address to her Majesty : —
"That your memorialists view with feelings of deep regret and alarm the present state of the country , and having no hope of improvement while h « r Majesty is surrounded by her present advisers , who never since they have been in office have manifested the least desire to promote the improvement of the industrious classes of the land , or to extend the hand of mercy to those unfortunate individuals wbo have fallen victims to their zeal in promoting the welfare of their fellow-men ; do humbly but earnestly pray your Majesty to be graciously pleased to dismiss from your Majesty ' s council and presence your present advisers , and call men who will make the People " * Charter & cabinet question , thereby shewing a disposition to acknowledge the sons of toil worthy the c « r . sideration of the state .
*• Tour memorialists are anxious to secure to your Majesty the indisputable and undisturbed sovereignty of these realms , desire to convince your Majesty that so long aa the people remain misrepresented in Parliament , laws will be made to encourage the monopoly of wtalth , and diminish the comforts of the producing million * .

" Your memorialist * therefore- prajri ibat i jwt Majesty will be graciously pleased to grant your royal pardon to all political offenders now incarcerated in the gaols of Great Britain , and to give your commands for their immediate and unconditional release . " * Mr . Doveb moved that the address be presented to ber Majesty by Mr . Duucombe and Mr . Wakley . - The thanks of the meeting -were given to the Chairman , for his able conduct ia tbe chair . Three times three were given for Frost , Williams , and Jones . Three cheers for the Northern Star , the people ' * paper , and the meeting quietly dispersed . At the close of the meeting some of the Chartists said they had never been able to obtain the use of the Hall , even by paying for it , but now they had by their votes fairly obtained it for nothing . It had cost the Tories £ 29 for the meeting , and the Whigs £ 20 for the police , but themselves had nothing to pay .
At two o ' clock , the Tories were permitted to have a meeting of their own at the Norfolk Hotel , at which they drubbed ber Majesty ' s Ministers to their hearts ' full content . The following are their resolutions : — " That , in depriving the Freemen of this and Other cities and boroughs of their vested Municipal Rights , her Majesty ' s Ministers have been guilty of an act of gross and wanton injustice and spoliation . " "That by their unremitting endeavonrs to uphold and perpetuate in all their unmitigated harshness and severity , the heartless and oppressive provisions of the New PoorLaw , her Majesty ' s Ministers hare evinced an utter disregard of the wants , feelings , and rights of the P oor . "
" That this meeting cannot bnt consider the prepositions lately made by her Majesty ' s Ministers for the alteration of the Sugar Duties and Corn Laws , in opposition to all tUeir former declarations , are put forward merely to delude the people , and shew them to be totally unworthy of the public confidence ; and that a petition be presented to her Majesty , humbly praying that she would be grrciously pleased to dismiss from ber Councils ber present advisers , and call thereto suih men as would restore confidence in the country and give the people their just rights . "
GREAT ANTI-WHIG MEETING AT DEWSBURY . - Dewsburv has proved itM-if worthy of its former name . Too following is but a brief sketch of the glorious meeting held in that , town oil Wednesday last , the crowded state of our columns must be our excuse tor not giving a more lengthy report of the proceedings . Dewsbury is but a small place—the meeting had been summoned at very short notice only by bellyet at eight o ' clock , the hour of the chair being taken , noi less than five thousand persons were present . The speakers addressed the meeting from the Market-cro £ 3 . On the motion of Mr . Stott , Mr . Charles Brander was appoiuted to preside . The Chairman made a fevv introductory remarks , and concluded by introducing Mr . George Julian Harnev .
Mr . Harnet spoke for nearly two hours , and gave to the Whigs that scourging which , in JJewsbury , they never before reoeived . Some of the Bneaking pjrty were pret-ent , and writhed again unaer the lash to well iaid oa by Mr . H ., wh « se address was received with the oft-repeated and enthusiastic cheers of tht > people . At tho conclusion of that gentleman ' s speech , Mr . Ephraim Clarke moved the adoption of the first resolution : —
" That this meeting seeing in class-legislation the cause of all the social calamities that afflict the working classes , are of opinion that nothing short •> f the representation of the whole people in the legislature will arford the means of redress for the wrongs and sufferings of the enslaved many . And determined practically to assert their rights , hereby resolve to nominate a representative for the West Riding of Yorkshire , pledged to the principles of the People ' 6 Charter . " Agreed to unanimously with three hearty cheers .
Mr . Barker moved the second resolution— " That tho Whig faction , since they acquired power , have proved themselves to be the most hypocritical , proiligate , treacherous , and tyrannical crew that ever held the reins of dominion in this land ; they have violated their pledges , made their word a jest and a mockery , and their name synonymous with all that is base and wicked ; they have trampled upon and insulted the people , and persecuted the ckosen leaders of the oppressed many . And this meeting call upon their countrymen to hurl from power the tyrants who have shown themselves , as legislators , every way unworthy of thu confidence of the people , by their heartless and despotic conduct as Ministers oi' the Sovereign . " Adopted unaninouslv , with three hearty cheers .
Mr . Moslet Stoti moved the i bird resolution : — " That tho r «< 'eni atrocious outragf-s committed npon the people of Manchester , by a oand of brutal mercenaries , hired by the ' bloody' Whigs , and hypocritical Corn Law R ? pealers to stifle by violence the voice of public , opinion , has excited the horror and indignation of this meeting . And seeing that these outrages i > ave been committed with . he connivance of ib'j Whig authorities of Manchester , and that no protection is afforded to the peaceable citzon by the present administrators of the law ; we hereby call upon our countrymen to take measures Iot their own defence , which we pledge ourselves to take—tesjived , as we are to defend ourselves from the brutality of the assassin minions of the scoundrel Whigs . ' ' Adopted unanimously , with three hearty cheers .
The meeting terminated with three awful groans for the Whifts ; three tremendous theers for Frost , \ Viliiams , and Jones ; three for O'Connor ; three for O'Brien , ami all the victims of Whiggery ; and three for the Charter , and no surrender .

John Robinson in the chair , who , in a neat speech , showed that all the Irish agitators were seeking for wag equality with England ; he showed very forcibly that England , w it h a do m est i c Parli am ent , a resident gentry , and great manufacturing capitalists , were equally oppressed with Ireland . He cautioned the people against the delusions which the Anti-Unionists put forth Tespecting a repeal of the Legislative Union being a panacea for all the evils that affect the people of Ireland , and concluded by proving that nothing short of the People ' s Charier can stem the tide of oppression , and make the people of Great Britain and Ireland a free and happy people . The meeting was also addressed by Messrs . l > empsey , Dillon , and Brophy . Several new members were enrolled , among whom were three females . Letters were read from Mr .

HAIilFAX . —The Chartists here met on Saturday evening , and passed a strong resolution relative to the bloody Whig doinga at Manchester . aoCBDALS . —The excitement and indignation which the brutal conduct of the Manchester Whigs has given rise to in Rochdale ia excessive . At a meeting of some thousands , at the Butts , on Thursday , Bairstow and others denonnoed the dastardly affair in energetic language . On Saturday last , at the meeting held after Shaman Crawford ' s public entry , some of the speakers likewise nonrred to the subject ; and last night a great ; open air meeting was
held oa Cronkeyshaw , to denounce , this second Peterloo . A band of music , with banners , and an effigy of Daniel O'Connell , promenaded the town , and led a procession of some thousands up to the place of meeting . The people were addressed in eloquent spoeches by James Taylor , J . Taylor , and others , and after the , meeting closed , the effigy of Dan was elevated on a rising ground , and burnt amidst the cheers of the assembled multitude . Cheers were then given for the Charter , O'Connor , and Frost , and groans for the Whigs of Manchester , and the meeting formed in procession and returned back to Rochdale .
LEEDS . —At a meeting of ^ Chartists , held at Mr . Josh . Oldroyd ' a , Quarry Hill , it was unanimously agreed that a People ' s Tract Society be formed immediately , for the purpose of more effectually spreading information among all classes on the great political truths contained in the People ' s Charter . A committee was chosen , consisting of Messrs . Button , Parker , Oldroyd , Lapish , Hioks , and Turner , with power to add to their number . Mr . Joshua Hobson , having been previously requested to act as honorary Treasurer to the society , kindly consented , and was duly elected to that office . The committee earnestly desire the co-operation of their Chartist friends in the town and neighbourhood—feeling certain that
if working men will put forth their energies there will be no bounds to the good that must ensue . Properly authenticated books are now ready , and will be put into the hands of individuals who are approved of by the committee , for the purpose of obtaining subscriptions . Application to be made to Mr . Wo , Hick , secretary , at No . 5 , Market-street , by whom all money will be received until further notice . The society ' s accounts will be published in the Northern Star . The following resolution was introduced and carried : — " That this meeting begs to congratulate the brave Charlists of Manchester on their forbearance and discretion while suffering under the unlawful attack made upon them by the tools of the 'base , bloody , and brutal Whigs ; ' at the same time , this meeting would aifeotionately warn them against acting on the advioe given , no doubt , in the heat and spur of
the moment , by the speakers at the Tib-street meeting , to arm themselves for the future when they might have occasion to attend public meetings . This , it is feared , might furnish a pretext to the base factions to unite and attempt to put down public meetings altogether ; or , at least , to seize upon our best friends , and ca 9 t them into prison . This meeting ia decidedly of opinion that further forbearance and renewed moral exertion will achieve a thousand times more , just now , for the cause of Chartism than any physical force demonstration we are capable of making . Such insults are hard to bear ; but they must be borne until the time shall arrive , which is not far distant , when we may count our right arms with Bafety , and push forward the standard of freedom . This meeting also begs to recommend the immediate adoption of exclusive dealing for electioneering and other purposes , "

MANCHESTER . —Gband Procession of the Ancient OnDEit of Foresters of the Manchester Dibtrict . —The above procession of tho Aaoieut Order of Fore 3 ters and Shepherds took place on Saturday , June 5 th , and the turn-out on that occasion exceeded any thing of the kind which has taken place in this part of the country for some time . MANCHESTER . —lit peal of the Union . — The Election Committee ire * in the Tib-streetroom , ou Friday evening . There were about thirty present .

' After which every town shall send tho answer to the Star—the names of those who will do so to ba inserted in a list—thus showing what strength there is in support of the measure , aud whether it can be obtained by moral means or not . "
Db . Sleigh the agent of the Agricultural Society , who came dowu from London to the Stevenson'ssquare meeting , but whom the " bloody" Whigs dare not allow to speak there , delivered a lecture in the Corn Exchange , on Wednesday evening last . The place was crammed , and a precious whacking the " bloodies" got . Wheeler , the Whig Victim . —Our correspondent has inquired after po . ir old Wheeler , who was so brutally treated at the massacre , and is informed that he ia not at all likely to recover . Two Men , in a state of intoxication , turned out of a public-house , near to the Market-place , to fight , on Tuesday morning . Ono of them struck the other a blow on the juglular vein , and he fell dead at his feet . The survivor has been held to bail to appear at the Assizes .
WHITEHIIX , BRADFORD , ( Wilts . )—At Bradford fair last , Monday , a policeman was illusing a horse very much , when a respectable farmer ' s son remonstrated with him , and desired him to desist . He immediately turned round and Beized the young man , and attacked him with his bludgeon , when up ran from twelve to fifteen of the force , headed by Mr . Foley , aa inspector , aud they beat the man very severely , and looked him up . The conduct of the police was thoroughly brutal , and all in the crowd who murmured against it were treated in th « same manner . The youug man obtained a bearing with the magistrates , and was bound in a £ 40 bond to keep that which the police had broken—the peace . So much for the tyranny and vexatious interference of the " blue bottles . '
BRADFORD . —The lato butchery at Manchester has excited one universal thrill of horror and indignation through this part of the country . Woe to the Whigs ; woe to the assassin Corn-Law repealers ! Their villanous hypocrisy is now by themselves revealed . Let the Manchester assassins know that their Manchester game cannot be played elsewhere . Let them remember Calthorpe-street , and beware ! Let thorn remember that the dagger was there found as tffioient on the side of right as was the bludgeon on the side of might ! and that the ruffian who struok down the defenceless man , the timid woman , and the infant ohild , was sent by the patriot ' s hand to " meet his God" with something less than teh minutes to prepare him for his final account . " Let tyrants and dares think of that , and let all who stand on the wrongs of men tremble to think of it . " What has been , may be again !
NEWCASTIiE . —The town of Newcastle was thrown into considerable confusion on Tuesday , by a fight between the blue devils and the red ones . A few soldiers of the 87 th being on the " spree" in Sandgate , were attacked by the police , aud the result was a brutal fight , which continued several hours , to the great alarm of the peaceable inhabitants ; eventually , several companies of the 87 th made tbeir appearance with fixed bayonets , and after dispersing the blues , captured their recusant comrades , who , to the number of seven , were brought before the magistrates , two being liberated , and the other five mulcted in various surils .
RIPPONDEN . —A Charitable Pastor . —A correspondent has forwarded to us a statement relative to the conduct of the Rev . Mr . Bay field , Inpnmbent of Ripponden Chapel , which shows the utter contempt with which the well fed , well paid , higher classes treat those whom they deem their inferiors . Oa Sunday last , as the children of the parish were proceeding to church , the Reverend Gentleman above named made up to the gat « s and blockaded them , aud in an imperious tone demanded " Why do ye bring those children here ! Are we to have the pews of other people crowded with them 1 Ye shall not enter this place , except by the
consent of the Churchwardens . " Such an outrage upon public feeling , as this could scarcely have been expected in the nineteenth century . It created such disgust , that numbers who were going to church returned home , and vowed never to enter the church again . The solution of this oouduot lies in this , that the children belong to a Sunday school , and were formerly attached to the parish chapel , but as they would not give up their writing on the Sunday , they were not permitted to hare a collection in the chapel for their use . Such ia the ground upon which this intolerant minister of religion (); forbids the children to worship in the parish chapel . His conduct speaks for itself .
BARNSXiEy . —There hare been three large meetings of the weavers held during the week , on May Day Green , where soul-stirring speeches were delivered to the assembled multitudes , by Messrs . Sykes , Alexander , Shaw , Moulds , Terry , &c . The statements made by these workmen , who are members of the Committee , leave but little doubt of the successful issue of the contest of right against might , and we sincerely hope that Messrs . Taylors will Bee the necessity of conceding to the just claims of the workmen , their request being only to pay the wages which the other masters of the town are paying at present . They cannot expect that other masters will tacitly acquiesce in their monopoly of the markets , by underselling them , and depriving the wearers of their wages , that they may get a ready market .

LEICESTER . —The election fever rages here . Since the withdrawal of O'Connor ' s and Colonel Thompson'snames . ascandidates . the Whigs , guiltily consoiouathat they have outraged every feeling of humanity in their scornful and cruel treatment of the Chartists , are looking , with fear and trembling , to the appearance of two Tory candidates in the field , knowing thai the union of Chartists with Conservatives will be fatal to the return of Easthop ? and Ellis , the Whig semles . The agitation kept up by Chartists increases these fears . Last Sanday evening , Mr . Cooper , editor of the suppressed Illuminator , preached a political Bermbn . in the Market-place , to a large audience , and
tho Whigs are so mortified with the home truths then delivered , that they are threatening imprisonment . In spite of these silly attempts at intimidation , Mr . Cooper again assailed the ramparts of Whig deceit on Tuesday night- The meeting , unluckily , was prolonged too far beyond twilight ; and at its conclusion , a gang of the "Bloodies " rushed forward , and attempted to throw the lecturer on the ground , and it was not until a reinforcement of Chartists came up , that danger was averted . Reports of police interference , to be displayed next Sunday evening , are rife , through the town ; but Mr . Cooper intends to take his stand in the Marketplace again , notwithstanding .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , June 8 . Lord J . Russell stated his intention not to proceod with the following bills doting the present , session : — The Factories Bill , Silk Factories Bill , County . Courts Bill , Registration of Voters ( Scotland ) Bill , Parliamentary Burghs ( Scotland ) Bill , and the Drainage of Towns ( No 2 ) Bill . The Noble Lord aaid it was his intention to proceed with the Municipal Corporations Bill , the Bribery at Elections Bill , the New South Wales Bill , and the Western Australia BilL The remainder of the evening was spent in discussing a complaint of bribery at elections , which , of course , ended as it began—in nothing ; talking what they would do in the next Parliament , we suppose to gull their constituents ; and with other details of no importance whatever . The House adjourned early—that is to say , at half-past twelve o ' clock .
We dne s day , June 9 . ' The Speaker took the chair at the usual hour . After the presentation of some petitions , and the transaction of a little routine business , the farther consideration of the Administration of Justice Bill was moved . Sir . £ . Sugden proposed a clause to prevent the Bill coming into operation till the ltth of Octoberl alleging that it was highly improper to allow a Government that had not the confidence of the House of Commons to exercise all the patronage which thisBil , would bestow . . . ¦ ¦ A debate ensued , in which it was contended by-Lord John Russell , that it was treating Lord Cottenham most invidiously to suspend tho period for the Bill coming into operation . The motion was pressed to a division and the Ministers were defeated by 101 to 38 .
Lord John Russel then declared that he would withdraw the Bill . Lord Stan LEV . throw on the Government , if it did , the blame of delaying the administration of justice . A good deal of crimination and recrimination passed , and in the end the Bill was withdrawn , and the House adjourned .

FROM 0 UB LONDON C 0 RRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , June 10 / 6 . The whole of the metropolitan boroughs are now the scenes of election proceedings . In the Tower Hamlets , Col . Fox , ef Stroud notoriety and Sandwich defeat , has started on pure Whig principles , unwilling t » go for even a small extension of the suffrage . Opposed to him will be eldest son of Col . Thompson , who is expected to accept the invitation of the true and good men of the Tower Hamlets . At a meeting held last night in support of Col . Fox , and which terminated in a tremendous row , the police were called upon to make an attack upon the people as they came out , by C « l . Fox ' s supporters .
From an explanation given in the House of Commons this evening , it appears that the name of Mr . Law Hodges was inserted in the Division List on Itlr . Duncombe's motion on behalf of the political prisoners , in mistake , instead of the name of Mr . Schofield , the Member for Birmingham , who voted for the motion . This does not alter the numbers . Mr . O'Connell says , in a private letter which I have seen , that he paired off with Ar end all in favour of the motion . Parliament will be dissolved on Wednesday next .
Erratum . —The name of the gentleman from whom Mr . Martin received the money advertised in last week's letter should have been Randall and not Raynard .

Arrival of the Britannia . —Liverpool , Wednesday . —The Britannia has , at last , arrived safe and sound—just when the anxious were beginning to prognosticate evil tidings she has arrived to set the fears of all at rest . We learn that the cause of her detention happened thus : —She left Boston , as advertised , on the 16 th , and Halifax on the 18 th , when , all being ready , she proceeded on her voyage . Shortly after leaving Halifax , and whilst still in charge of a pilot , she very unfortunately got aground , but was got off at the next tide , arid returned to Halifax , and , though she had not sustained any damage , it was deemed prudent by her careful as well as enterprising owners to send her to St . John ' s , where she was overhauled , and it was found that she might have proceeded on her voyage with safety .
This circumstance delayed her departure from Halifax until the 29 th , when she again sailed , with about 90 passengers , and has made tho very rapid passage of eleveu days . Her detention has caused her dates to be no lwter than the 15 ch of May , and consequently there is no news of importance that has not been previously known . The President Steamer . ——Hopes are again raised that this steamer is safe . Captain Burgess , of the Osprey , Waterford Steamer , reported en his arrival at Bristol , that he had seen a large steamer , disabled , about mid-channel between the Smalls and Saltese . It is said that the Lords of the Admiralty intend to despatch two steamers in quest of the large vessel seen by the Osprey , on its way from Waterford to Bristol .
