_ Y" * tbrmer employers live Jn the hearts of their ¦ workmen , and all who know them—any thing would be risked in snpport of their lives aad property ; while the latter are conHimtilly * t variance with their mencaosing strikes—diraeminating falsehoods to cloak their own evil deeds ; detested fey the men ; shunned by the well-meaning , and retaining To the Tile dust from whence they sprung Unwept ^ nnhonoared and unsung .

The contrast is so great , that did we not daily see evidences to the contrary , we would scarcely believe that any sane man would risk tia reputation and-his honour for that which , in a lew years , he will hare to Ibste behind him , with the cone of industry marked upon his tomb .

Clasct . —His letter to Daniel O"Connell came to hand too late for our last ; and now s portien is useless . We give the following extracts : — I have often felt proud of being an Irishman when I have frequently witnessed noble sad generous traits in the characters of my countrymen ; but I must confess thatihs blush of shame has often mantled on my cheek wfcenlTiave reflected thatl belonged to a land that has been so long the foot ball of your sportive merdusry , peealative policy ^ Ton have abused -the slave holders oT America j butTrhat haye you ever been but a great profitable slaveholder T have you not , by means
oT the lash of your persuasive tongue , forced the most impoverished people in the world to toil for years at the xhariot wheels of your despoiling political power ? Tost Bepeal policy has-always been a failure with you , except , ss far as the rent is concerned . In the first place , your arrogant ambition led you to denounce . and , when you could , ^ destroy , many talented and energetic friends ot the people , tbe moment they attempted to place their feet upon the same political platform -witti you . x win net liere mention names . as the TeD oi tbe tomb hangs o ' er some of them . Tonr exclusive monopoly his deprived Ireland of the assistance of four millions of Englishmen , whose assistance in the time of need would have enabled yon to stand npon Conquer Hill , and tell the British Minister to " post Ms proclamations nearer home . "
For the last four years you have connived at the formation of a faction in England , with the feigned object of extending the suffrage from brick houses to mud walls , but really for the purpose of destroying the people * bast friends , whom your arrogant ambition and exclusive monopoly eoold never acknowledge as such . O , sir , this is the rock on which you have split . This is the policy that has desecrated the " field of fame" of our chivalrous ancestors with the presence of bristling bayonets oh the once glorious " Conquer Hill of Clontarf ; " while by your bombast and bragadocia . you have caused a brave but enslaved people to ba more poignantly insulted with the presence of troops , the very colour of whose coats are sufficient to recall , with tftrmrrtg horror , the deeds of the Berisfords and their sanguinary -cohorts ! * * * *
Is -would be too bad to see you in a similar place to York Castle , with " Sarjeant O'Leary and a few Irish boys" reading for your amassment your be&sttal buffoonery over the fate of the amiable John Frost , when you thought he was on the verge of the yawning grave i Ho , 2 f o , Dan ; you will avert this if you can—and therefore you wish to come to England under the wing of Joseph Sfeurge . The road is being prepared for you ; but mark there are thorns in it ! * * * Poor Jack Lawless once made yen cry in the Corn Exchange for having offered to barter the forty shilling freeholders ; but it appears that unfortunate Ireland has no Lawless now to clip your goldra pinions , or stay your "rfcl Eight .

? . ' THE EXECUTIVE'S ADDRESS . Bbothbb Chabtists , —We have by this day ' s post , received printed copies of certain resolutions agreed to in Nottingham , on Tuesday , October 15 th , which resolutions have been industriously circulated throughout the various towns in tbe kingdom , accompanied by letters requesting the Chartists to call public meetings , to express their opinion of our conduct , in striking the principles out of the Plan of Organization , and keeping the people in ignorance of the same . These resolutions have been published in one of the Nottingham journals ; bnt have been withheld in the Northern Star . We consider it decidedly improper for our Nottingham brethren to have taken these steps , without having first songht for an explanation from the Executive pro tern ., who were the parties
on whom the Business devolved . The report , in its main features , is entirely false . Previous to Mr . O'Connor leaving London for his Northern tour , THE plan , as agreed to ai the Conference , was laid before counsel for their opinion . No other Plan has ever been submitted to counsel ; but wishing to obtain Tidd Pratt ' s reasons for refusing to certify , and believing the " principles" to be the main objection , we , actitn-j on the suggestion of oar legal adviser , and other influential friends , including the Editor of the Northern Star , in order to ascertain the correctness of this impression , laid the Plan again before him , in juxta-position with
the Socialists ' plan ; but with tbe principles transposed . By so doing we forced him ao give reasons fob , his B . E tusal ; and those reasons we cm now combat . We never intended to make any other plan than that stamped by the approval of Conference , the groundwork of any legal proceedings . The principles of the Charter are our principles . By them we are determined to stand or falL If we fail in procuring the enrolment , we must proceed as we have hitherto done , without it ; but the principles we will never abandon . Trusting that this explanation will be satisfactory , and that every attempt to create disunion will be twfflj d by the good sense of the people . We remain yours , Thomas Clark . Henri Ross . Philip MGbath , President T . M . Wheeieb , Secretary .

STORM AT LIVERPOOL , &c . We add some additional particulars to those we published yesterday : — The tide—as indicated in the almanack—was at the full at thirty-five minntes past two o ' clock ; and in calm weather would have risen to a height of fifteen feet ten inches ; but , driven in by the pressure of the gale , it flowed some minutes beyond the hour stated ; attained a greater height , and , as might be expected , was more than usually tardy in its reflux after it had gained its maximum . The sea at high water washed orerportions of the qa&ys j and the
steamers from the opposite ferries had some difficulty in landing their passengers , many of whom , both male and female , from farms in the neighbourhood , it being market d * y , did sot venture to return until Sunday morning , when the storm had abated . Several large vessels that had put back came up in picturesque style under close reefed topsails ; minor craft also appeared almost nnder bare poles . The Duke of Wellington , from Honduras , fell in with the brig Nile ( before noticed as lost ) , remained by her some time , and those on board saw her founder , with all hands , without being able to render her any
assistance . The brig Mary , Captain James Turner , Bailed from the Bay of Honduras , with a valuble cargo of mahogany , logwood , and coooa nats for stowage , called at Cork for orders , and proceeded towards this port . Until she reached Holyhead she held a favourable gale , and on Thursday morning took a pilot . On the afternoon of that day it came on to blow , and she was laid-to until two o ' clock on Friday afternoon , when the gale moderated they ran a short distance , and let go both anchors ; unfortunately , however , the best ^ ave way , aad the larboard anchor was only an inferior one , and could not in any probability hold , it was shipped , and the crew reefed the foretopsail with the intention of again laving her to ; but .
so violent was the gale at this time that all attempts to set it after it was reefed proved abortive . With the fore-topsail shaking she was held as close to it as she could go , bat , making great lee-way , touched the shore about ten o ' clock on Saturday night . As the tide rose she again floated , bnt only to drive further up , as she was now perfectly unmanageable , the Eea making a clear breach over her ; umU daylight the crew Bnffered greatly . The ageats at Lloyd's , Messrs . Tjrer and Escles , who , with a person of the name of Meadows , were on the alert as daylight succeeded , by the assistance of a pony , in conveying the crew on shore . One , however , was missing , and , on the agents returning , he was found lying dead on the deck . His face was dreadfully mangled , and from all appearance he had beea washed b y a heavy
sea beneath some loose spars on deck , which , on the water leaving them , had crashed him to deaths An inqoest -will bjs held on the body this day . The uniortunate individual was cook and steward , and , we learn , belonged to Sheffield . Tbe crew , inclusive of the captain , consisted of twelve persons , all of whom are considerably injured , and have lost all their clothes . After the crew were got on shore , the principal portion of them were taken to the receiving-house , where they were most kindly treated . A number of sails and other articles have been got on shore , as also have a quantity of the cocoa nuts . The vessel herself has every ' appearance of becoming a total wreck . her hull having parted near the bends . She is the property , we believe , of Mr . Morrison , of this town .
Early on Sunday morning a large portion of grain and other cargo was washed on Bbore between Southport and Foraby , but principally near the latter place . Prom the marks it bears it is evident that it is part of the cargo of the Lady Bentinck , which sailed on Thursday last frem Waterford for Liverpool , The crew must all have perished , but none of the bodies have yet been recovered , nor has a vestige of tht wreck been seen . The cargo was insured , but we could not learn whether the vessel was or not . We learned that a large quantity of batter had been washed on shore near Southport , and as the Lady Bentinck had little or no butter on board , it is to be feared that some other vessel has shared tbe same unfortunate fate .
The sloop Vernon , with a cargo of potatoes , the property of Mr . Cain , of Liverpool , was driven on shore aboat two miles to the northward of Formby Point . She was from the Isle of Man . Such was the force of the gale that she was driven np on tbe beach into three feet of water , bo that the crew waded on shore . The Formby life-boat was oat daring the gale , but was unable to render any great assistance to the distressed vessels that were seen , owing to the frightful state of the surf . —Times , of Wednesday .
More Vessels Lost . —Every day brings intelligence of additional disasters during the late gale . The General Steam Navigation Company ' s packet , the Menai , Captain Goodburn , arrived at Brighton from Havre on Monday , and he brings information of the sinking of a Donkirk rteamer off that town , when all hands perished . Near Beachy-head he ypoke the Shepherd , of Glasgow , from Singapore . Yesterday morning , the stern of a vessel , bearing the name of " Ann and Laura , " was washed on shore at Brighton . It probably belongs to one of the vessels which we reported in yesterday ' s Times as having rank near Littlehampton on Saturday morning . — Tones , of Wednesday .
The Skkrh at Blackpool . —The following is an extract from a private leiter dated Blackpool , Sunday afternoon : — " How I do wish you had beeu here yesterday to have witnessed the storm . ' From eight in the morning , throughout the day , and all last night , we have had an unremitting hurricane . The rain has now ceased , and the sun is shining beantifnlly ; bnt tbe wind is still high , and the sea roaring and raging in fearful grandeur . Several vessels are in sight : one in particular is so near the shore as to cause much excitement and apprehension for her safety . She is sow got jost opposite our hotel , and we can see the people oa the deck quite distinctly . * * I fear the poor vessel ha 3 gtruck on the sands . Crowds of people are rashing towards the spot : i t is a painfully exciting scene , and I feel so annerved that I can hardly hold my pen . The
crew , I see , have got into a small boat ; but they appear to be in imoinem danger every moment of being swallowed up . * * OI the small boat is upset , and all lost ; I can write no more at present . * * The boat has again appeared , with some of the poor men clinging to it , * * I have been down on the sands , and learn there were four persons in the boat ; a lady and gentleman , and two sailors . The two sailors have got to shore al : ve ; but one of them , from the poor lady clinging to him so long , seems almest dead . They have been carried to Diekson ' s Hotel . The vessel wrecked is from Quebec , laden with flour and ashes . There are stul eight sonls on board , without the least bops of being gav-d It is impossible to render them the least ass stance . Poor men ! may God have mercy on them ! The day is now very fine , bat the sea is stu ! awfully ^ rand . — Manchester Guardian .

I Sxorh at Scarborough . —This place was visited with a very severe storm on Friday evening last , which continued the whole of Saturday and the Saturday night . The brig Margaret , of Whitby which was stranded on the 18 ; h alt ., and had remained oo the sands , for the purpose of clearing her of her cargo , was attempted to be got off on the Thursday , and the work not being completed before the storm arose , she was taken out to sea , and went to pieces . Part of her has since washed upon the Bands . So great was the violence of the wind , that ; an unfinished house on the Esplanade was very much damaged , part of the end and front walls being blown down . The mill of Mr . Simpson Chambers , in Ramsdale , had a sail taken away , and severa other persons , we understand , have suffered loss . The sloop " Georges , " of Leith , Craig , master , laden with barley , went on shore at Fiiey during the storm on Saturday morning . —York Courant .
The Late Stohm . —The storm which took place on Friday and Saturday last , has caused great damage to vessels in different parts of the coast on both sides of the island , as well as on the coast of Ireland . Several serious disasters have also taken place to vessels at sea , and in some instances the crews have been drowned . From Whitby , Scarborough , Burlington , Hull , Liverpool , and other ports , the acr counts of wrecks are numerous and disastrous . — York Courant . Manchester .- —Flood in the Ibwell . —De strtjction of the temporary foot-bridgk near
the New Bailev . —On Saturday evening , in consequence of the heavy and continued rain , the water in the river Irwell rose to an unusually considerable height above its ordinary level , and came down with such force as to wash away a stage erected by Messrs . Pauling and Henfrey , contractors , at Hunt ' Bank , for the purpose of carrying tbe iron beams to form the intended railway bridge across the river at that place . The balks forming the stage floated down the river in one raft , with great velocity and force , and came in contact with one of the uprights supporting the temporary foot-bridge at the end of BridgerStreet , communicating with Salford . The result of the concussion was , that the upright or snpporter was broken in two near the middle ,
leaving the bridge unsupported for about sixty feet . This was : about eight o ' clock , and the occurrence was witnessed by Mr . Wilson , grocer , who happened to be in his cellar at the time , and eaw the beams floating down the river . The passage over the bridge was immediately Btopped , Messrs . Bowers and Murray , the contractors , placing a wstohman at each end of the bridge about ten o ' clock , to prevent people crossing . Part of it fell about ten o ' clock , and another part about twelve , the same night ; but , owing to the precautions taken , no life was lost nor any person injured . During this time the water continued to rise rapidly ; nevertheless , it
is believed that the bridge would have remained as firm as when first fixed , had it not been for the accident at Hunt ' s Bank . The water at its highest point was from four to fire feet below the height to which it rose during the flood of 1839 . Several small boats were washed from their moorings between Victoria Bridge and the temporary bridge at the New Bailey ; some of these floated through th ' e bridge in the early part of the evening without sustaining any injury , bnt others were broken to pieces amongst the timber which floated from Hunt ' s Bank , and accumulated at the bridge . — Manchester Guardian .

THE TRUCKSTEB-LEAGUERS POUNDED TO I PIECES . On Friday evening , October 27 th , a meeting was holden in the I large room attached to the Swan Inn , Dobcross , , which will be remembered with pleasure by one ! portion of it , and wiih chagrin by another portion , for a long time to come . The large room was crowded to suffocation ; and hundreds had to depart , who could not obtain admission . No meeting for a long period has excited so much attention as the one we are now chronicling . A great number of masters were present ; and the sequel will show that it was well tor them that they were so . H . H . Broach ton , Esq ., a magistrate , was in the
chair ; and he introduced to the attention of the meeting Dr . Sleigh , who for about an hour-and-ahalf pleaded in defence of the rights of labour , aud against the acts of the " rich oppressor . " His arguments and facts were wormwood and gall to the free trading trucksters . They oould not contain their bile ' ¦ and spleen ; but tried to throw the meeting into confusion by most unmannerly interruptions . The foremost at this kind of work was one James Lees , who by some unaccountable means or other has be ^ n manufactured into a magistrate . A ; more pompous , conceited , ignorant , unmannerly , tough-hided brute , could not be found in all Saddlewortn ; and that is saying a great deal . His conduct was most shameful . He failed , however ia his object . The people were not with him . They laughed at him ; derided him ; and put him down ! 1 *
Dr . Sleigh , at the close of his able address , introduced his admirable Memorial for the Protection of Labour , in which the ccne of Protection v . Free Tradeism is so well stated ; and a motion was moved that the ! Memorial should be adopted by the meeting . j James Greaves , of Lees , once a pretended Chartist t but now employed by the Leaguers , offered a quassi sort of opposition ; but dare not ventare to move an amendment . ' He offered to discuss with Dr . Sleigh the question of a Rapeal of the Corn Laws ,
if arrangements were made . He showed his fitness to discuss either that question or any other , by stating , point blank , and stoutly maintaining , even when set right , that our foreign trade alone employed one half of our population / Dr . Sleigh said , that he must decline such discussion , not out of disrespect to Mr . Greaves : but he had challenged Messrs . Cobden and Bright ; and both those gentlemen had declined the challenge . He had repeated it however ; and he intended to wait to see whether it was accepted or not , before he disoussed with any lesser man of the League .,
James Lees , j the magistrate , then addressed the meeting on the question of foreign trade ; contending that it was far more important than many parties seemed disposed to consider it . In proof of bis position he ! quoted from a statistical table , to shew that the foreign trade was more than ^ one-half as valuable as the home trade . Dr . Sleigh replied . He produced tho table from which the hard-hided magistrate had quoted ; . aad showed , most triumphantly , that he had suppressed thetruth / He had only given a portion of the table ; that portion which seemed to favour his position ; While the remainder he had kept in the back ground , beoause it upset the argument he had been advancing . This the ) Doctor showed to be * the case most conclusively , and convicted Lees as a liar in intention before the meeting .
Mr . Hob ^ on , from Leeds , who had attended at the request of a number of the working people , next addressed the meeting . The announcement of his name caused great consternation amongst the TRUCKiNG-masters , who were present . He had been put in possession of a number of facts . of a most astounding nature , relative to the prevalence aud practice of truck amongst the FREB-traders ; and he used them with terrific effect ! It was as if a bombshall had been dropped in amongst them . The
trucking-masters quitted their { seats ; crammed themselves into corners ; got behind folks ; pulled their hats ojer their eyes ; and would hare sunk through the earth to have got out of the place . The crowded state 0 ? the room pTevented them from departing ; or their presence would soon have been removed . The facts we shall , ac some future time , make use of ; and teH all about the doings of * ' Lord Lotherdale" and hi 8 set of / ree-traders , who' / ie their poor slaves to their own counters !
Before the memorial was put to the meeting , an amendment by way of an addition to it , was moved , to the tffect that Protection to labour would be effected by a BLepeal of the Bread and Malt taxes . When put to the vote , not thirty hands were held up for it , out ; of a meeting of more than five hundred . And j when the memorial waB put to the vote , not one hand was held up against it . It was carried unanimously . James Lees then valiently challenged Dr . Sleigh to discussion ; he hating heard him declare that be
should decline a set discussion with every man , unt il he had met either Mr . Cobden or Mr . Bright . This valient offer Mr . Hobson witheringly exposed "; and told the anxious for-discuss'on man that if he meant the challenge in earnest , he ( Mr . Hp bson ) would accept it , and discusd the question with him . Bat Lees now MVsoft . He dare not taokle to . He slunk off ; and the last we heard of him , was that he was in the " bar" of the Swan Inn , at half-pa 3 t three next morning , with ten glasses of brandy-andwater in him , hiccuping that " he was the man that could beat themlalP !
The Leaguers are discomfit ted . Their rage is boundless ; only to be compared to the joy of the working people ] at their defeat . The tyrannies of the masters in that neighbourhood have been most monstrous . They were exposed for once ; and the guilty culprits { were in tho presence of the people when the exposure was made . A reduction in the wages of the men employed by the tippling-magistrate , Lees , had boon effected on Monday the 23 rd ; while tbe wages of the men employed by a master in his own immediate neighbourhood , a Mr . Hastings , had been enhanced some four or five shillings a-week 5 The telling of tho 3 e facts by Mr . Hobsoa had a wonderful impression on the meeting . The people in Saddlewortn have had too much of the FREE-Traders to be in love with Free-Trade . !

THE STATE i PROSECUTIONS . —NEW EVIDENCE . —THE POLICE . I Dublin , Ooi . 31 . It has , up tojthis time , been a question whether the Government meant to go further back than the Repeal Demonstration at Clifden , county of Galway , for evidence to ; sustain the charges against Mr . O ' Connell , and | the other traversers . The only informations sworn , of wkich copies had been supplied to the traversers , were those of Frederick Bond Hughes , the Government reporter ; sub-Inspector Ireland , of the constabulary , whose depositions relate to the Clifden meeting ; and those of Mr . Kemmis , the Crown solicitor , who swears as to the Repeal Associationseditioni and so forth .
, I apprised yoa before that I had some reason to believe the Government had other witnesses in the dark , whose names the traversers would hear for the first time when they were produced in court . In Ireland , I remarked at the time , the Crown sometimes adopted this practice , although I considered it nob at all likely that . is would be resorted to in a state prosecution . According , however , to the information which has just reached me , a considerable number-of other witnesses are t » be examined , besides those whose
depositions have been published . Orders have gone down from Dublin Castle , directing a number of policemen , who . had attended the country Repeal meetings in plain clothes , to be in Dublin next Friday morning , in order that they should be ready for examination before the term grand jury to WHom the bills of indictment against Mr . O'Connell and the other traversers are to be sent up .
