Afier transacting their local bnarefs , the following address v > their constituents wasagreed to , and ordered to be sent to the Northern Star for insertion : —
The address of ihe delegates of South Lancashire to ihe Char&sts of that district . Bkothzb Democrats , —It is with mingled feelings of sorrow and delight , that we once more ad- ' , dress you . With delight , at the proud position we ' occupy as an association of men combined together ( for the high and holy purpose of combatting tyranny in all its varied forms ; and thereby shewing to the world that we are actuated by a pure spirit of philanthropy znd patriotism , proTing ineontestably that we have no other object in view but the emancipation of ourselves acd fellow countrymen from the tbral- ' dom under which we and they have so long ] laboured . !
Sorrowing that it is our painful duty to call the attention of the various localities of this district , to the care of those steriingiriends of suffering -humanity , Mr . Cooper and his corn-patriot Mr . Hichards , who are suffering unheard of cruelties' ia the Stafford hell , we , therefore , call upon every locality in South Lancashire to bestir them and call meetings immediately to petition Parliament in their behalf , and to send such petitions forwiih to T . S . Duneombe , Esq . 1 LP . for presentation . To the rescue , brother Chartists , and let -there not be » town , village , nor hamlet in the conntv but
what sends its petition in behalf of these brave fellows who haTe so long , so nobly , and so faithfully fought the battles of a sufferitg and enslaved people . "We also regret that a few of lie localities have not sent their delegates so regularly toihe eonnty conncO as they ibmnerij did . We ' hope , therefore , that the time that is passed Tnll zcore than stfiict , aud t issi for thefnhire they will we the nccessiy of having their representatives present to assist ia devising plans for the carrying out of those principles which if adopted , will make the homes of Englishmen , cottages of -contentment , and our country glorious , happy and free .
Brethren , the task of addressing von on thi 3 allimportant subject , has so often fallen to our lot , that anything we can advance , by way of appealing to your love of country , would be little more than useless repetition . Our business with you now is to point-out tile necessity of adopting some practical 3 > &m , in order to secure the object -which has cost U 3 so much labour , money , and suffering to carry it to its present proud , though in-some measure disorganized state . Sirst , then , it 13 our particular desire that each locality will choose a delegate to attend a meeting
of the South Tanya-chi ^ y delegates , to be holden in the 2 ? ational Charter Association Koom , -BroKn-Etreetj Manchester , on Sunday , the 18 tb of June , at one o ' clock in the afterneon , when , we trust , this call will be responded to in a , manner worthy of the democracy of this emporium of liberty . That each locality will not fail to instruct their representative as to what eonr . se they wonld deem ir advisable to pursue in order to place this division of the country in thatrosition which its importance in this tmly great movement so eminently entitles it to . The delegates will be required to come fully prepared to Tote upon the following questions : —
1 st . Your opinions relative to the election of a new Executive Council for the Association . 2 nd . The engaging a lecturer for this division of Che county . 3 rd . As to tie workings of the present local lecturers' plan , and whether it should be continued or otherwise . 4 sh . To give your opinions of the propriety of holding Chartist camp meetings during the summer mouths in varions parts « f the distriet ; and whether yon thick they wonld be attended with go&d results to oar movement or not . _ We hope you will not fail to give the above questions thai consideration which their importance requires , as much depends upon the deciaon which you may come to .
Brother CharSste , —We cannot conclnde this address without calling your attention to tbe eventful t imes in which we live . The present time appears io be big with great events . The agitation for tbe Repeal of ihe _ Legislative Union seems to be bringing n 3 to a ensis—the hitherto conflicting elements of party appears to be upon the-eve of a brotherly junction , when England and Ireland are likely to unite in the moral battle against the common enemies of both countries , Such an opportunity for farming a la ' -ting union between the two conntrits never presented itself . We , therefore , ought to cherish it , and endeavour to cement the
democracy of both nations in 2 x 1 holy union that will make corruptions' ark quake to the centre . This is indeed the " Tide in the aiiairs of men , which , if taken at the fiood , leads on to freedom I" Be active and vigilant , and we shall eros assuredly , at no diftaut period , achieve that desideratum so ardently to be wished , and for which we have so long so Erdenriy struggled—the moral , social , physical , and political emancipation oi our beloved country imm the gaOhig fetters of a merciless oligarchy , t ^ e cold-blooded and grasping avarice oi the sBackeocricy , and ibe blighting and wiiheriag infinence of ed intoleraai Stats Church .
In condn > . jij , we nope that the Chartists of this divi ^ on of Lancashire will prove themselves Y ? oxa . y of their higher' calling in theiBoralstrnggle of right against might—of justice against injustice . Let Union be your watchwordlove and broxher ! y Mndutss mari jour coisrinct towards each other , and the day is not far disrant when exery vesnge cf oppression will be banished from our land , and the hardy sens of toil be in possession of thes « privileges wiueh will enable them to carry' into effect the Aposto ' : c injunction—** The labourer 5 hall Exsz be partaker of the fruite thereof . " And-this can only be brought about by making ibe peop le free labourers an their fatherland— "The « nd , the land , the iac ^/ ' is our only hope of salva-We are , bretfcrc-- * . in bond 3 , Yours in the common cat- of human redemption

render it less ambiguous , and better calculated to promote the interests of the Association j and in order to giva each locality an opportunity of expressing their sentiments , we recommend the propriety of proceeding forthwith to the election of delegates taattend the said conference , and at the same time give those who may be elected such instructions as will enable them faithfully to represent the opinions of their constituents , both as regards any alteration that may be necessary in the plan of organisation , or arrangements requisite to the formation of a new and efficient Executive to watch over the interests of the Association generally .
NORTH LANCASHIRE . The Address of the North Lancashire Delegates to all these tcho are desirous of co-operating with them in ihe great tcork of national redemption . Buothbbs im Bondage asd in Hope , —We conceive it to be our duty to addresB yon at this critical juncture of affaire in this class-ridden country , to call upon yon , in the ppttir of patriotism , to shake off the lethargy , apathy , avA inattention to yonr own claims , and those of your suffering countrymen , to rush to the rescue of the downcast victims of poverty , to laire jour energies , combine your collective talent and influence , concentrate your every moral power in one impenetrable phalanx , and with a voice—a yoicetlike the sound of many waters , proclaim with pathos ; and with power , with piercing , yet forbearing indignation , that you are
fnHy and energetically alivs tothe things which concern your temporal , social , and political sklvation ; that you are about to snap asunder those degrading chains which have so long linked yen to the usurping mandates of faction , bound yon down mentally , morally , and physically , and nsade you the veriest tools « nd Blaves oi designing taskmasters ; show that you have made a solemn declaration that you will never tire in jour noble exertions till you have achieved yonr ^ country ' s redemption , thereaemption of yonrhomesteaiaB from oppression and misrule , and that yon will , by yeur own , and your feliow men ' s exertions , elevate yonr ? own order above the rancour of despotism and the penalties of bondage ; yon will then successfully show by your continued labours , that you will finally secure to the human family , the greatest amount of happiness human nature is capable of er . joying . :
It will be said by interested and other parties , that this can never be accomplished , that human nature is so sunk and depraved , that all attempts to improve and elevate it , must and -will eventually prove abortive and fruitless , that man xanst sit" patiently" down under an unbearable load of want ,- degradation , and ¦ woe , that tbe great author cf the universe iss wisely and solemnly decreed , that man must sit quietly down , in humble resignation , that he must take rough cir , cmastances ( no matter of what nature they may be ); we tfcU the pToponnders of this highiyjinjurkms , prejudicial , pernicious doctrine , that it is as fclse as the bigotry and superstition of the daik ages . We appeal to &cy rational mind , if these dogmas can stand for one moment in hostile snay against thesB every day convincing fecta , that your homes once comfortable , when enjoyinaa more equitable remuneration for your skill , are
rapidly becoming destitute of every article of domestic convenience ; misery , degradatioB , and wantsurrenndyou in all your various pursuits . In vain yon struggle to preserve the respectability of you ? families , the iron hand of despotism strangles our every effort to rescue them from poverty , and all its attendant calamities Oh , shame , shame , npon the prostituted talent that is thus employed in prolonging and vainly endeavouring thus to defend the strong holds of oppression . Has heaven decreed that the idle , the profligate rich , shall erjoy every blessing bestowed by art or natnre , and that tbe industrious mechanic and inoffensive poor shiil alone be the objects of divine vengeance ? Be far from us such irreligons , impious , insulting mockery ; it is fraught with the most dangerous fatal effects to man and his institution , and the peace and -well-being of society .
It is under these impressions that we have embraced the present opportunity of directing you to a sense of your duty . Sines your representatives first met on your behalf many and arduous , have heen the struggles in which you . had to engage in your different localities . At one time universally depreciated and disesteemed , pelted with the mud of scorn and opprobrium , by all no ; incorporated in your ranks , your motives most unscrupulously maligned and misrepresented , tie venal press marked its victims , spies "were employed to concoct and convict , the pulpit thundered forth its denunciations , the bar showered torrents of misrepresentation , and yfaur test and noblest friends were immured in a dungeon , because they possessed the boldness to
cenott ^ ce , and tae virtue to morally combine againBt the evils of the " system . " Your own enthusiastic " Tattersall" now languishes in prison , simply fcecaus * he exerted his popularity with the ^ corking claases , to the preservation of life and property . ! Seeing that these things have taken place , yon are bound by e-rtry t ie of " patriotism" and humanity , it behoves you as consistent persevering democrats , to gird on afresh the armour of truth and justice , and s ^ ear fey tbe vsrongs of your cenntry , that you are determined to continue faithful to the end , thai yon v ? ill never cease in your God-like exertions until signal and final success shall have crcscued your herculean efforts . So this , and the ¦ work of persecution is at end .
Ours are the principles of the People ' s Charter ; whole and eatire , they are immutable . They have floated majestically triumphant ou the troubled surface of political ccEtentien , unanswered and irrefragable by all the argunistitative powers that sophistry has or can sumincn to its aid ; they will stand ( if such a thing should be ) amid the crush of matter and the wreck of worlds ; they would -widen the foundations of Society , until the base shall have a breadth capable of securing the just representation of every interest in the state , under whose just administration every man wonld sit down under his e wn vine and fig tree , none daring to make him afraid .
in conclusion , we implore of yon to set yonr shoulders to the whet U as if the legitimate struggle depended on your own energy and -un'on . Yon can plead no excuse . Tuu have , un many occasions , by your petitions and resolutions , argned and enforced the justice cf , and the necessity for , tbe enactment of our political tenets , as the law of our sea-girt isle . Let etery Chartist endeavour to add one mure to , our own ranks , to confirm one wavering mind . Let every parent inculcate on the untutored mind of his offspring , the never-dying principles of liberty , the absolute necessity of good Government for the preservation of his liberty , and from a living death , by protracted distress , and for those essential materials which make life desirable . By all and every means press forward to the mark of your high calling . Let every Chartist do his own work ; and then soon , very soon , shall we hear from the vallies and mountain tops the glad shouts of Freedom .
Then peace and pleDty will be ours , And all the bl < swings Freedom showers . We are your ' s , in the bonds of Union , Signed , on behalf of the delegates present , Ee > hy Wood , Cbairman .

The venerable
priest Bat down amid cheers . The Rev . Mr . Coppinger was next introduced , and explained the reason of his attendance there that evening .

Several more Chartifts enrolled themselves , and the most brotherly feeling prevailed , the repealers pledging themselves to assist the Chartists by all means in their power .

Judo Yeates— " That the gteat cause of a reduct ^;! of . wages is a surplus of labourers ; we theruiore ehink it necessary to raise a fund for the purchase or rental of : la&d , upon which to locate surplus labourers for the production and enjoyment of wealth ; thereby relieving the labour market and raising the price of labour .

Awful Sudden Death . On Saturday night , about half past ten o'clock , a man of the name of John Me Cormac , dealer iu clothes , a native of Ireland , was in the act of selling a waistcoat in the open space of ground fronting tho Manor Hall , when he suddenly fell down , exclaiming " I am very poorly , " aud expired .

BARNSLEY—Trade remains in a very depressed state . Not abovo one half or two-thirds of tho looms in and about the town being employed . This day there has been an order made out before the magistrates for the removal of fifteen families to their parishes , and yet the Leeds Mercury oi last Saturday had the town of Barney improving , and " not a loom but was in full work or partly so . " A more base or infamous paragraph than this never appeared even in tho big lying AJercury , and is done for a wretched purpose , the ; tffeot of which will be , as usual , to stop the relief of some who are on par . sh pay . Perhaps the more ostensible object is to induce the hundreds who left the town to return , as there is a good itching on the part of some to reduce wages , and uow that there is a 6 trike already in the town . Mr . Frudd , manufacturer , has failed in liabilities to the amount of eight or ten thousand pounds , which has caused much delay . So much for the prosperous state of Barnslcy .

KNUTSFORD GAOL . TO THE EDITOR OF TILE MORNING CHRONICLE . Sir , —After the manner in which my fortune and character have been assailed , I hope I am not making au unreasonable request in craving the indulgence of your inserting tho following observations , in answer to those of Mr . Tatton Egerton , who seems to think he can only vindicate the conduct of the Cheshire magistrates by misrepresenting mine . This gentleman has , according to the report in your paper of the 24 th , ventured to characterize my petition as " one tissue of falsehoods . " Sir , these are hard terms to apply to a clergyman graduated at Cambridge and of thirty years standing , whose char
racter for truth was never before impugned , and who has in his possession the testimonial of the bishop of the diocese , and , among others , of those who are now his defamers , signed quly nine months ago—to say nothing of those of all the clergymen under whom he served as curate ; and I hope it is not unreasonable that 1 should enquire into the credit due to tho gentleman who has become my accuser in such offensive terms . In the first instance , Mr . Tatton Egerton denied , in his placo ia Parliament , the truth of all those statements made by Mr . Duncombo as to tbe abuses practised in Kuutsford iGaol , which have all been subsequently proved by the very parties who deemed it . their interest to deny them .
On the 23 'J he commenced his hardy and cruel assertions , by stating he did not know who the magistrate was by whom I was warned of the insecurity of my tenure of office , although the gentleman ' s statement of this warning was made openly before the quarter sessions court , consisting of forty magistrates and as many bystanders as the room could hold . Mr . Davenport ' s words were these , " I told this gentleman , who was a perfect stranger to me , that if , as reported , his political principles differed from those of tho chairman and the magistrates , he would do well to keep them to himself if he wished to keep his situation , and that no opportunity would be neglected of getting rid of him . " Now , this magistrate ' s statement having been made thus publicly , and published in the county papers , was pretty well known during the last six weeks by
every body else except Mr . Tattoo Egerton . He proceeds to complain that this was a libel upon the m agistrates , whereas it was merely a prediction private , and which , unfortunately , proved in a few months to be too well founded ; for , from the beginning , I was received with coldness and distance in manner , and for merely obeying an impulse of charity in indicting two letters , one to ascertain an important fact , and the other to procure alleviation i ' or a prisoner suffering under the ssntence of a military tribunal , I was brought before a committee of inquiry , who agreed in acquitting me of all culpability . Yet the chairman , who had stated in open court that I had been acting very improperly , and tihat he had no confidence in me , neglected his duty in not announcing my acquittal to the publio , before whom he had bo unwarrantably accused me .
Mr . Tatton Egerton next ventured to deny the truth of my having been reproved by the chairman for having reported on my journal the repeated absence of the governor from prayers . And why does he deny it ? Because the party interested in exculpating himself from the extraordinary language he used on that occasion finds it convenient to disown it , and without any other reason . If the order for the gaoler to attend prayers was given it was never obeyed , and he told me he would not obey any such orders .
[ One of the prinoipal charges againBt me being that I had withheld ! information from the magistrates ; I answered this charge by a statement of the facts which I did aommuuicate , namely , the employment of prisoners in the unwholesome labour of emptying sewers for the gaoler ' s profit ( after he had received £ 100 a year / , added to Ma salary in lieu of perquisites ) , a fact which had for three months been on my journal without the magistrates having taken any notice of it . 2 . The selling milk from his own cows to the officers of the gaol , contrary to statute .

3 . That he used the prisoners and the county property in putting now tires and new » pokcs and bushes to his chaise wheels . 4 , Employing the prisoners : in his house and those , of the subordinate jofficers . 5 . The communication of the gaoler ' s servants with prisoners . 6 . The using the prisoners in copying out income-tax [ papers . After stating [ thus much , the chairman , who complains of my 1 want of readiness to communicate , said , " There is no use in asking him any more questions . You moV retire ! " Mr . Tatton Egerton says , that , this communication was not made until after ihe substance < of it was already known to the magistrates . If that were true , which it is not , why did they ask for itfi And why was I never asked for it
before ? And , again , why do they venture ,, in their reports to thej Secretary of State , td accuse me of not communicating with them , when , on their first applying to me for information , I gave it is such abundance that the chairman would hear no more 1 I may here observe , that when a gentleman in my position , whojis treated with reserve and aversion , and who observes that the gaoler could do nothing amiss in the eyes of the justices , and that whenever I reported his { breach of duty I only met with rebuke instead of approbation , it was hardly to be expected that ij should be very communicative upon such matters . ; Mr . Tatton Egerton says . that no evidence of this Btatement was taken . Why they did not take this statement down is best known to
themselves . Had they done so , it would have somewhat interfered with their accusation against me for withholding information . Mr . T . Egerton ' s impartial justice overlooks the injustice done me at Chester ; and the fact of the Chairman having put the question whether I should be dismissed unheard and without any written notice either to myself or to the magistrates , who , according to their own rules , could not entertain such a motion , nor would ho trouble ihe house with the evidence of two of the ' j worst culprits , whose evidence amounted to nothing . Shore , late hospital narse , now ( holding another situation in the gaol Cand a servant to Mr . Loyd , one of the magistrates , and a visiting justice ) spoke to my being but
a short time at the hospital ; to which I replied that he was very seldom there , and never attended me in ray visits to tlie prisoners , and could therefore be no judge of what happened . Kent ( the utterer of a forged note ) , who was brought up to complain that I did not give ] him particular attention , has since reaped the reward of his testimony , by receiving greater indulgences , in addition to the gaoler ' s promise to try to ket him a pardon . It is insinuated that , because labouring as I was under indisposition , I could only call on Mr . Roscoe , the magistrate ' s clerk , on Saturday , the 15 th April , at three o ' eloqk , and again in the evening , and that against the advice of my medical attendaot , and did
not ask for Mr . Ropcoe ' s clerk instead of himself , therefore I was not anxious to learn the nature of the testiraohyj raked up from the sink of the gaol against me . But I could not suppose that any man in Mr . Roscoe ' s confidential situation would leave such papers in ] tho hands of his clerks ; and here I mHSt express f my gratitude to divine providence , that , watched as I must have been during the three years and a quarter of my residence in Knutsford , both in and oiit of the prison , in which I passed , when necessary , an hour or two more than the regulations required of me , nothing has occurred to- deprive me of the character I had previously borne , or the testimonials of my respected diocesan , and of gentlemen of ihe first respectability in the county .
Mr . Tatton ibgerton stated that I had been reprimanded at the ! January meeting , 1841 , for inserting in my journal some strong remarks relative to the surgeon , viz ., j " f found seventeen men and boys packed together , perfectly naked , in a small room , to rub for the -itcji , in which place they are kept night and day ; such a practice is disgusting and disgraceful in a Christian country , and contrary to decency and morality . ? ' For this entry I was ordered to apologize to the surgeon and the magistrates , for they considered it a ' n insult io them , and a reflection on the surgeon . Jl have farther most positively and solemnly to state , that the revocation of the illegal order of the chairman , that I should confine myself
to my spiritual duties , was uot communicated to me , either in words or writing , till the recent inquiry . The magistrates' report ia otherwise incorrect in stating that "j I had been frequently , and in vain admonished for dissensions with the gaolers . " Now , whenever there were dissensions they were from the gaoler's interference wifch my duties , and not from mine with his . j and his manners and temper did not encourage needless intercourse . Any dissension deserving reprpof ought to have been recorded ; but , at my dismissal , no evidence or charge whatever of this kind was ] made . Mr . Burgess nerer was reproved , nor any inquiry into these supposed dissensions ever instituted .
Such was the magistrates' fear of hearing any charge against- the gaoler , that I was , at hi 3 suggestion , ordered tb insert nothing in my journal till they had seen it . When I wa ^ asko d to tell them all that passed at my interview with the inspector , I , of course , cansidered that gentleman ' s observations to be included ; and I defended myself from the obligation of giving them by stating my want of authority to do so . But I did tall them ( when pressed ) what Ihad said , and could have told them more if I had uot been stopped . I have thus given an answer to Mr . Tatton Egerton , the itusertion of which will greatly oblige . Your grateful and persecuted servant , I W . Bbcwne , M . A .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE BIRMINGHAM MJ / DLAND COUNTIES CHARTER ASSOCIATION . Friends , — You are all doubtless aware of the sentpneo awarded to one of your brother Chartists , Mr . George White , namely eight months imprisonment in the Queen ' s Prison , and you must be iware that , deprived of the power of supporting himself , ho becomes , as a necessary consequence , dependent upan tbe party whoso principles ne advocated , seeing that his loss of liberty is the result » f such advoqacy . It is at once the most sacreci duty and the most sound policy to deprive
persecution of its sting—for the benefit- derived from j such a course is two-fold : — First , you hold out a premium to houesty , and encourage | men to boldly state their opinions and unflinchingly defend them , when you show them that they shall not suffer in taeir temporal interests by such conduct . Second , you destroy the effect which persecutors ever have in view , namely , to intimidate and ruin their victims . Whenever the objects of persecution have been adequately supported , the only parties injured were those who sought to injure—no surer ! moae of disarming tyranny or bigotry can be adopted , than to rescue its victims from its
sanguinary grasp . Of George j White ' s claims to support from the Chartists of the Birmingham district , nothing need be said , for surely his value to the cause can be well estimated by all who take an interest in passing events . His claims to support mvist be based upon his honesty and fidelity , and where those aro undisputed nothing ] more should be asked . I am directed to urge upon all parties the immediate necessity of contributing to the purpose 1 have named , in order to prevent Mr . White losing the privileges andjeomforts to which his situation entitles him , but of which he may be deprived if not adequately supported .

FEARGUS { O'CONNOR TO NUMEROUS
CORRESPONDENTS . The glorious uncertainty of the law has prevented me from giving definite answers to many correspondents , and especially to those who have written on behalf of London localities , inviting me to attend projected demonstrations . The fact is that I have not been able to call myself more than a prisoner at largo since September last , and when I thought that the hour of I t eration had arrived , I find that I am
onco more to appear oefore the Justices Of the Queen's Bench , on Saturday . I cannot possibly , theu , make any engagements until this longpending question is disposed of ; and I trui « t that those who hav 6 written and have have not received answers , will believe thac they were not negleeted intentionally . I have been bu 9 ily engaged in writing a general defence of Chartism , which will be found in the eighth and last number of the Lancaster Trials
and while speaking of those trials , it is a curious fact that some agents complain that there were too many numbers , and that they were too long ; just as if I could have helped it . Long as they were , if cut short by one jsingle witness' entire evidence , they would have been inoempiete ; and if wanting one defendant ' s speech , O Lord , what a row we should have had . Long as they are they will live beyond the present day , and will yet , and that e'er , long , form a part of the history of this country , and not an unimportant portion either .
I am really in such a whirlpi-ol of thoaght and anxiety about the Irish movement , racking my brain to discover ho ^ w we can boss serve it , without running any the slighest chance of injuring either that or our own Charter , that I can think of but little else at present ; . j Fbargus O'Connor .
