STALTJBBIEGS . —The walls of this town have been placarded , aunouueiug that Mr . Faivey , oi Maccle ^ eid , would deliver a lecture upon the Corn and i roTi-ion Laws , in the Town Hall , on Tuesday evening last . The plscaro ' s aunouncing the lecture wi-re headed '' A free fctage , and no favour" : underneath , iu lar ;; e ty ? e , an avnmr . ceivicnt wag made that a discusden would take place upon the above subjects . As soon as the Chartists of Stalybridge became acquainted with ibe intentions of the lecturer , : hey appointed a deputation to wait upon the Secretary of theaDti-Moiiopoiy Assoc i ation , to learu v . h : ; her Mr . Faivey would ic-rego the l . cture , n : ; d enter zx onc-8 into a discussion uj on equal tcims . Af ' er so-e conversation with . hat func . i «» n 3 rv , thev
ca . me away wi'h the uiidersTandiug that Mr . Faivey ivould eive up iks 1-cture , ard commence by opening the db ? us .-ion . Th- Chartists then waited up . ; n Mr . James Leach , of Manchester , a ~ d 31 r . John Campbell , Secretary to the ExecutiTe ; bst they being liuable to attend , Mr . Dixon , of Manchester , came over in their stead . Upon h : s arrival , he foaHd that a great number of tickets had been gratuitously disinbuted amonj ; their friends , while those whom they thought were not favourable to their views were compelled to pay one penny for admission into the hall , tbu ^ at once setting a-ude their hypocritical boast of a fair stage and no favour . A lew of our Chartist frit-nds , in order that thiB fact mieht be proved beyond the
possibility of doubt , waited upon the parties who were authorised to give t'ckess , and after a variety of questions had bee ?* asked , they receved tickets on condition that they supported Mr . Faivey aga nst the rascally Chartists . Mr . Dixon soon after his arrival waited upon Mr . F-tlvey to make the preliminary arrangements necessary for conducting the business , and was told by Mr . Faivey that he would r > ot enter into discussion unless Mr . Dixon was prepared to defend the present Corn Laws , by showing that they were not injurious to the country . Tms . of course , Mr . Dixon ctclined , bat challenged Mr . Faivey to prove that their repeal would be so advantageous to the conntrv as to become the remedy for the many bVils which afflict society . Mr . Faivey
refu .-ed to meet him on those terms , and therefore be ( Mr . Faivey ) was allowed to fulfil his original iEttniion of lecturing . Alter the usual fahacies put forth by the hcfci-pittles of the League , Mr . Dixon rose and claimed the right of replying to the very shallow arguments adduced by th « lecturer , completeiy overthrowing the nonsensical absurdities advanced bj Mr . F . Mr . Dixon was recehed with the most vociferous cheering , which proted to the an ; i now chop fallen monopolists , that the Chartists would not allow them to monopolise the brains and intellects of the men of fetaley Bridge , but that they were determined to compel tlcm jo carry out their no monopoly principles into public meeting , as well as their mercantile affairs . Mr . Falvej then again attempted to address the meeting in reply , but was told by the people that if he did , Mr . Dixon should be again beard , if they stopped in the Hall till
the mills commenced work in the morning . Mr . Faivey would not give way , but delivered a long tirade of in ^ eotive and abuse , appealing , in strong declamatory terms , to the religious prejudices of his countrymen , in order to create a row ; but , thanks to the good sense of the Chartists , who would not suffer themselves to be taken by surprise , all his efforts proved aborive . Mr . Dixon then concluded by replying to Mr . Faivey , and proving , beyond doslit , that as cls .-s legislation is ibe cause of a ]] our misery , so the People ' s Charttr becoming a legislative enactment , would raise us from our presest degraded position , and exalt ns to the dignity of ireemen . The business coLcluded about one o'clock in the morning , and the people dispersed with three cheers ! or O'Connor , three for the Welsh patriots , and three for i > e Rev . William Hill and the Star . Mr- Dixon upon retiring was greeted with the loudest acclamation ? . —Cvrrenpondent .
. HAZiZFAS—A public meeting convened by requisition , was held on Skircoat Moor , on Monday June 27 th , whin from ten to fiueen thousand people were assembled , for the purpose of remonstrating with the lejdElature and memorial sing the Queen . Mr . O'Connor having been invited to attend arrived in Halifax about half-past eleven o ' clock , for that purpose . Tbe meeting being announced for halfpast two , and Mr . O'Connor having to attend auother meeting at Burnley at four , caused some trifling altera'ion in the arrantemetils ; and for the purpose of giving that gentleman an opportunity of addressv . ' . s , the meeting , the bellman announced that it should take place at two in .-tead of fcaif-pa . « t . Ha \ - ing arrned at the Moor , and wi'hout waiting one
moment , M * . Benjamin Ruistrick was unanimously called to preside , who at once introduced Mr O'Connor to the meeting , who was received witb toudos of cheers and cLapping of hands . When tbe cheering had in some measare subsided , Mr . O'Connor commenced by giving an account of his stewardship , as one oi the Yorkshire delegates to the late Convention , which was received with applause ; his time being limited , he could only take but a very short tour through the citadel of corruption , and concluded by requesting the people to be united , and stand by their Charter , whole ant > entire . Mr . O'Connor was repeatedly cheered tbroD ^ b on t bJB short but puby acdress . He then " took his leave ^ or Burnley , "when cheering and
waving of hits continued tor a considerable time . The chairman then called npon Mr . Greenwood to move the first resolution , which was seconded bj Mr . Clayton , and abiy supported by Mr . Hanson : — " That this meeting views the decision come to by the House of CommoDs , on May 3 rd , on a petition signed by three millions fivr * hundred thousand people , as a gross violation cf its duties , and tyranny in the extreme ; this mt eting therefore resolves to remonstrate with the Legislature on so unjust and dangerous a decision ; and that this meeting is further of opinion , that we memorialize the Qaetn on doing jusuce to a starving and insulted people , by calling to her oou : ciJs men who will make the People ' B Charier the law of the land . " Mr . Shackleton wes then called upon to move the remonstrance to the House of Commons , which was seconded by Mr . Cro =. s 5 and , and very abiy supported by Mr . John West , in a very convincing and argumentative
speech , which took upwards of an hour in delivery . Mr . W . Wallace wa « next called upon to move the memorial to her Majesiy , which was seconded by Mr . Edw&rda , and ably nipported by Mr . Tattersall , from Colne , m a very spirited and eloquent speech , which animated the hearts of all present . On lh « motions b'ing put to tbe meeting , they w ? re unanimonsly adopted . A vote of thanks was then given to F . ' O'Connor , E-q , Mr . PitkeAhly , and the remainder of those gentlemen who composed the late Convpntion , whose unanimity of sentiment , discreet wisdom , and honest integrity , prove them worthy ef the confidence reposed in them ; also to Messr 3 Duncombe and Leader , for the bold , manly , and independent course pursued by them on the introduction of the National Petition to the House of Commons . After a vote of tbai . ks to the chairman , the meeting left the moor , highly delighted with the intellectual feast .
The Hall of Science was engaged for the purpose of hearing a lecture from O'Connor , but having made previous arrangements , oi which we were not aware till too late , we were deprived of his attendance ; but Messrs . West , Tattorsall . and Hobson , the publisher of the Star , very ably officiated on the occasion . Isle . —On Thursday week , Mr . Smyth and Mr . Jennings lectured at Idle . Rumours were rife that opposition would be offered , but , on calling for discussion after the lecture , none was offered . A void of thanks to the chairman was passed by acclamation .
Bbockjiooe . —Mr . Linney addressed a large meeting here , at the Cross Keys Inn . The additions made to our numbers prove that our principles only want to be known to be appreciated by the poor and oppressed miners . We hold a meeting every Wednesday evening , at the above place , at seven o ' clock .

BIRMINGHAM . DEMONSTRATION AND PROCESSION , OCCASIONED BY THE DEATH OF SAMUEL HOLBERRy . Nothing has so much tended to arouse the feelings and sympathies of the people of this town for the last year , as the premature death of honest Holberry . As soon as the news ef hia death was received through Mr . G . J . Harney , on Thursday last , Mr . White immediately rt paired to the Cpuncu
meeting , and laid the circumctancea before them , when it was unanimously resolved that large bills should be posted ; announcing the fact , and calling a meeting , at Duddeoton-row , for the purpose of memorializing 'the House of Commons , to instituto an inquiry into the conduct of Sir James Graham with regard to the death of Samuel Holberry , as ic was understood that the state of his health was made known to her Majasty ' s Seoretary of State in sufficient time to have enabled that functionary to have saved his life , if he thought proper .
A large and commodious hustings was erected for the 6 cca 8 iop , wnich was suimpupted by a black flag , painted by Mr . J . Barratt , on which was inscribed "Samuel Holberry , died at York Castle , on Tuesday , June 21 st . Shall we have justice ! And ; notwithstanding ; the efforts of the police t . » deface the bills , which are admitted to bo the largest and most striking of any ever published by the Chartists of Birmingham , the meetiiiK was a bumper . The bills were surrounded with a large black border , and upwards of two yards in length . At the time appointed an immense concourse of people were congregated togethtr , and at a quarter past six o'olock , Mr . Peter Henley was unanimously called to the chair . He was about addressing the meeting when a large flag , surmounted by a cap of liberty , was brought on the ground , which was immediately hoisted on the hustings .
The Chairman then said—He felt that he need not call on them to keep order , as he found the Chartist body , on all occasions , preserve order and regularity in all their transactions . And as to keeping the peace , he hoped that each man would consider himself as a peace officer on the present occasion ( hear s hear . ) They would see bv the placards which had been posted , the immense responsibility attached to the office which ho held , and he therefore asked for their support in fulfilling its duties . They would perceive that they were met to take into consideration the conduct of one of the first officers of State . He would at once introduce Mr ; John Mason , to move the first resolution ( loud cheers . ) :
Mr . Mason then presented himself and was received with loud cheers . He said—Working men of Birmingham , when he stood forward on the present sccasion , to give his opinion regarding the death of Samuel Holberry , he must Bay that a nsore noble or generous man never lived , or a more sincere

Holberry ' s life was in the keeping of ths Government , and it was their duty to hold communication wiih tho surgeon . ; If the law meant to murder bim , wh y not drag him to the scaffold , instead of killing him by elow dekrecs . It was time th ^ working men looked to their condition , when they found their fellows liable to be deprived
of life ; When did they hear of a , rich man being confined ; or placed in a dungeon ! Never ; they contrived all those things for the sole use of the working men—vhear , hear . ) The SoJons of the House of Commons said that poverty was the source of crime ; but he would aad that bad Government was the cause of p ^ overtyV He then went on to shew the cruelty experienced by the Chartist prisoners , instancing the cases of Clayton , Duffy , Peddie , and others ; and said that if such , was the course the Government meant to pursue—if such was the treatment the Chartists were to Teceive—if they were to be imprisoned , cut off from every '¦ source-. ' , of comfort , and ulfimateiy murd < red , it would suggett to
them the propriety of altering their mode of extending their yi w 3 , and instead of going on in the peaceful manner they had done , they would be forced to try other meanE—( loud chocriug . ) They mfght call that sedition but ho would -not give them any illegal advice . Ho would have thorn obey the law , and not destroy their chance of getting freedpin by any rash act . Mr . Mason then alluded to the cruelty of the prison regulations , in refusing Mrs . Holberry an interview with her husband , and after stating the situation in which he was placed with regard to the authorities of Staffordehire , awd the trial which he was about to undergo , he concluded by moving the following resolution , and retired amidst loud cheers : —
" That in the opinion of this meeting the death of Samuel Holberry , of Sheffield , who was tried at York Spring Assfz ^ B , and Beutenctd to fout years' iniprifconihenfc in Northallerton House of Correction , calls for investigation , as her Iviajfsty ' s Secretary of State was fully apprised of the state of his health previous to hia death , and as he is tho responsible officer between the people and the Crown , we therefore demand an invest gation into his conduct , and her-by resolve to present a memorial to the House of CbmmooB on the subject . "
Mr . Smith Lindon seconded the resolution , and said that if ever there was a lime when it was necessary for thn people to exe ^ t themselves , it was the present ; and , if there was any fteling of justice or self-respect remaining amongst the working classes , now was the time to exhibit it . Th » . life of an individual was tak « n for seeking that which God and nature intended all men to enjoy . Holberry ' s life had been taken , although his sentence was imprisonment , and . the crime of which ho wan convicted vtaa tha , t vsguo and unaefinanlo one of " sedition . " What was sect ition ? If a few men met tog ( ther , to cpnverfie on their privato business , it was converted into sedition ; in fact , the wornius men could not meet together on
any subject , but the guilty consciences of the rich smote them , for they knew that the working men were ill treated . Mr . Lindon then , procfleded at great length to dravy a parallel between the treatment of grcab thieves , and those of a more diminutive class , and after bringing Holbcrry ' s case for ward as a speciriiea Of English justice , and comparing the sentence of Francis who 6 hot at the Queen ' s carriage with that of men who were euilty of the most atrocious crimes , he concl'ided by seconding the resolution Mr . T . S . Macintosh supported the resolution and wan received with loud cheers . He addressed the meeting as friends and fellow men , and said it was at all times a painful thing to contemplae the death
of a fellow creature , even under ordinary circumstances , and when a man's life was taken for the commission of a crime , still they sympathised with the individual , and if such was their feelings on such occasiona , how much more should they feel for a nobta-minded man , such as ha understood Mr . Holberry to have been . He was a man who had sacrificed everything for the people , and it appeared to him that his wish was to benefit his follow creatures . But whilst ho addressed them on the present melancholy subject he would at the samo time endeavonr to teach them something . He wished that his voice was sufficiently strong to extend to th > : utmost limits of that large meeting , whilst he endeavoured to shew them where the real
power of the oppressor rested . They would remember that a man was ab : ut to be executed for the murder of Daly the policeman . Daly ' s widow would be provided for by the authorities ; the people might thus see that the object of th ir rulers was , to give po ^ er and confidence to their subordinates by providing for them in cases of emergency , not because they liked them or had any peculiar tenderness or good feeling towards them , for they despised them , but they knew them to b 9 necessary for the purpose of upholding their unjust authority . Hb wopld , thefefere , impress upon them the necessity of taking alesson from their enemies , for if they did not stand firmly by those who were victimised in their cause they
would find it vanish like smoke . He came forward to support the resolution , because hoMt that the death of Samuel Holberry was a disgrace to the country : and thag it was the duty of every man to lift up his yo . co againBt such cruelty as that which led to his death ; and although he was not connected with the Chartist body yet he sympathised with them , and could call the death of Holberry nothing shors of murder , alihpturh he was not prepared to say whether it was wilful or not . It was a cowardly and illegal transaction , for as soon as the surgeon certified the dangerous state of Holberry ' s health , he should have been immediately liberated . Mr .
Macintosh then addressed himself to those who might be opposed to the Chartist principles , and warned them against trespassing too much upon their patience , as the might play too dangerous a game , which might lead to awful consequences . In one sense , < he death of poor Holberry was nothing uncommon , for there had always been martyrs to every good cause ; and if the Government _ jof this country were to sacrifice a ^ number of those wHo were seeking justice , they would arouse the spirit of Ehglishmen , and lead on to the speedy establishment of the People ' s Charter . He cordially supported the resolution . Mr . Mackintosh then retired amidst loud cheers .
The CiiAiniiAN then put the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr . George White then presented himself to propose the memorial . He said that be never felt so affected on any subjflct as the present , for he had knowa poor Holberry , and slept in the same cell with him in York Castle , and a kinder or more generous and noble-minded man never existed . He coHld therffjre truly state that he came forward to address them with a sorrowing heart . Mr . White then , procerded at great length to describe the manner in which himself and t-he otheT Chartist prisoners had been treated in prison , and spoke in
strong terms on the death of poor Holberry . He pxborred the working men present to unite for the purpose of destroying the infamous system which deprived thei fionesteai men of their liv ^ s whilst it upheld villainy ; and after showing up the various tricks and subterfuges of the people ' s enemies , in the shape of Ant ! Corn Law and Complete " Suffrage Associations , he called on them to form a proioesBion through the town , to show their enemies that ; their spirits wore unbroken , / and that pure and undefiled Chartism should be predominant in Birmingham , in defiance of the eopHistry of political pedlers or sham Radicals , Mr . White concluded by reading the following memorial : —
To the Honourable the Commons of Greed Britain and Ireland in Parliament assssmbled . The Memorial of the undersigned inhabitants of Birmingham SHeweth , —That your memorialists have heard with deep « nd poignant feelings of regret of the death of Mr . Samuel Holberry , of Shefiaeldi in one of her Majesty's gaols , known uader the name of " York CaaHe . " That the said Samuel Holberry was tried at York 18
Spring HBB-ziB ^ iO , tor sedition aad conspiraey , and Bentehced to four year's imprisonment in Norlhallerton h bu 8 o of Correction , where the aevarity of the •« sitot syBteHi , " insufficient diet , and other . descriptions of brutality , were such as to cause the death of Mr . CJajt' ) n , and oiused the release ofMr . James Duffy , at the point of death , and also induced the Home Secretary to remove Win . Martin , after ten months torture , Penthorpe and others crippled for life , and Samuel Holberry after suffering nearly two years of the atune inhuman treatment . " :
That several applications have been made to the MarquiB of Normanby , the former , and Sir James Graham , the present Secretary of State for the Home Department , and that the surgeon of York Castle has represented to Sir James Graham the absolute necessity of advising her Majesty to liberate the said Samuel Holberry as the only me » na of saving hia life . That in the opinion of your memorlaUats the course pursued by her Majesty ' s Government , calls aloud for the interference of your Honourable House who oneht
to be held responsible for the life and health of those who are confined in prisons which are under their controul , and a » so many personB have either expired or been maimed for life under the inhuman torture of those dens of infamy , It appears to your memorialists thatybux Honourable House should institute an investigation into the condnct of Sir James Graham , with a view of ascertaining whether her Majesty ' s Seoretary of State shall have the power entrusted to him of taking the life- of any man who may dissent from the political opinions of the ruUng powers .
: Your memorialists have also learned , with regret that similar cruelties are practised in Wakefield and Beverley Houses of Correction , and trust that such steps will be taken as the wisdom of your Honourable House may suggest to prevent the rtcuirenoe of each revolting

jnbuminity ; and that the parties who are . now imprl . aoned for political offences may be fortkwitli released lest they also fall Victims to the silent system . ' Your memorialists therefore pray your Honourable House to cause the whole of the circumatances connected with the death of Clayton and fiolberry to be invest tigated ; and trust that the remaining political prisoners some of whom have been nearly two yean and a hall incarcerated in those worse than French Buttles , may be forthwith liberated . We also trust that due provi . sion will be made for the
widows of the above-named victims of cruelty ; and your Honourable House will in bo doing prove to the country that there is still a pai tide of humanity remaining amongst your Hon . Members . But if .. this our heartfelt and sincere applies ^ tion for justice should be refused , we shall be compelled to come to the conclusion that there la nothing to hope for front the legislature of this country , and that the lives of the industrious inhabitants of England ate at the disposal of her Majesty ' s Secretary of State . ; : ¦;¦ '¦¦ , ¦ . ;¦ ¦ , ¦¦ . - - . - ' -: . - . :- .. ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ - ¦ ' - ' ' '¦";•¦¦ ¦¦
• Hoping that yonr Honourable House will give the above application , that consideration which the impor . tance of the subject demands , aud grant the prayer o this memorial , ; Your memorialists will ever pray . Mr . Soar spoke as follows—Fellow countrymen , you bare all heard with sorrow and 'the stern ihdignation of honest minds , the record of another death added to the crowded human list of class tyranny . Now I would ask , is there a man standing here , " who believes that God the author Of his « ixistence , cOHsiders him as a waster , Or one too many on the world's surface . ? To this question Ifeelassured , that a relig ious and indignant answer of no , would thrill ; like ah electric shock through this meeting . Well
then my friends , if you be not intruders on tha earth ' s sphere , you kre all entitled to equal rights . Now because this bold-fronted and Virtuous citizsh , lnaiataintd aiid ; conte ded for this righteous GTod born principle ; the present disease and crime engendering system of legislation grasped hold of him , with the black hand of its ruffian power , and ] efs him to die a lingering death in a gloomy dudgeon , surrounded by the vile , mean , and meroiless instruments of its tyranny . Where are the' * free traders ' now ? wh y are they ; not here ? these morbid geatU . men that whine and weep , and wonder that menshould be so cowardly debased , as tamely , and only grumblingly , to eat dead cows , dead dogs , and offal ; yet when a fine and patriotic fellow has the moral courage and manliness of mind to resist the system which produces these horror , and breeds crime as fast and numerous as insects in a stagnant pond
they allow him to be murdered , and not a single resentful epithet escapes their lips against the murderer ? . But they rather eat their dinners with a relishing zest , saying grace with a round of d——^ s against all Chartists , who mean doing the thing completely , without any admixture of Whig cozenage , delusion , or trickery . Now , my friends , I take this pppoTtunhy of guarding you against these charlatans , who are just now driyelliDg , snivelling , and moralising , edging round the boundary line of Chartist principles , I would have . you remeioiber that although this ^ hernia fellow , Holberry , iaa died ia prison , there are such things occur as men dyiiig of starvation out of one ; aud such may be the fate of many of you , unless b y your united exertions , as brothers of the association , you obtain the Charter , and put it beyond the bounds of probability that any such horrible fate should ever arrive in this Christian
country . ¦ - , " ¦ '¦ . ' .. .- / ¦; . ¦ ¦ - / . . - # : ¦; ' ¦ .. ¦ . ' The Chat em am then put the memorial , which was carried unanimously . Mir .

Muntz aad Scholefield b > reqaested to support the same . " Mr . Fellows seconded the resolution in an appropriate and effective speech , after which the motion was put and carried unanimously .

Mr . O'Connor , and returned in procession to Clitheroe ; The numbers kept . increasing throughout the whole route , every one seeming" anxious to get a glimpse of the man of the people ' s choice . When they arrived in Clitheroe there could not be less than 10 , 000 people in the prbce 3 sioh . After parading the principal streets of the town they returned to the Bowling-green , where Mr . Beeslev , in an animated strain , addressed the assembled thousands on the present wide snreading distress , and proved to the satisfaction of all present that it sprung from that upas-tree of corruption class legislation . ¦ ¦ ¦ - ^¦ . - , " ;• ' . . : - . ¦ . , . ¦• ; : ¦ - . - . ; ' . - .-.

Mr . O'Connor was then called on to address ' thein , and , in a powerful and convincing manner entered into a dissertaiion of the measures brought . forward and passed by the Whig Government , and made a very humourous comparison of the poor woman and the lady , to the great pretensions to patriotism 'by Russell , Palmerston , Normanby , &b . &o ., and cohcluded an eloquent speech by exhorting the people to stand firm by their own organization , to avoid jealousies and disunion , and not to be divided by any designing demagogue ; but to shew by their unity , firmness , and determination , that they would never sit down with any thing short of their national regeneration . He retired amidst lOudcheers . Three
cheers were then given for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and three for Feargus O'Connor ^ when the meeting adjourned . . A good substantial dinner was served at Mr .

O'Connor presented himself he was hailed with three cheers ; Mr . Bkesley addressed the meeting at great length in his usual impassioned manner , which neni home to the hearts of all present .
Mr . O'Connob then rose , and for an hour and a half , in a strain of impassioned eloquence , went iftta a clever refutation of free trade nostrums , made gooa the position of every act of the Chartists , illustra ted the ^ progress of Chartism , went into a lucid exp lanation of the army , and the navy , law-made ehurca , the national debt , pension list , and many other grievances which afflict this unhappy nation ; and througn his cotyincing , talented , and patriotic lecture , won the esteem of all who heard him .

had been called for public dibcufsion , and if freedom of discussion was prevented , he gave notice that a public meeting would forthwith be held out of doors , at which he should be happy to meet those gentlemen by bis side , where both Sides ol the question should be heard .

the Chairman refused to put to the meeting , and refused also to permit the spoaker to state his reasons for the adoption of the amendment . The great body of the meeting thcD adjunnied to the . open air , and Mr . Holliday address-td them at considerable length on the necessity of their joining the National Charter Association .
