BIRSIINGEA'S'i . —The Executive . —A meeting of Ccartists , chitfly mtiubtrs of the . National Cbavter Association , was Leld at the CUartist Room , Astonstreet , on Sunday ev&ning le ^ t . Mr . Cowen was usanim-.. ualy called to the chair , and introduced Mr . Geo . White to address the meeting . Mr . White was warn . ly apploudcd on stepping into the rostrum , and said that he had bo intention of making a Epeech that evening , but Wsnld bring before tfctm various tusiaess con tectc-d with their welfare . Ke then reviewed tbtir position , the state of tbe orcatiizition in BirmiDgham
aiid otaer niatters to which ht had directed his atttatien since bis liberation , arid sliowed the nectssity of perfecting and strengthening the Chartist orean ' zj ' . ion , is order to be rea 3 y to meet the various shades cf humbug which was about to be introdncsd amonast them . He then djrcctsd their attention to the Executive Biiasce Shcfct , and read Mr . Hill ' s article oa that subject from tte Northern Star . He said that the case was now fairly btfore the country , both the accusation and ihe reply of the accused , it was necessary that they should give an opinion upon it , and for b . 3 part he should leave it entirely in their hands , to deal with it as they thought proper . . Mr , William Tiiberl , snb-secretary , then stood forward , and said that the members of ths General Council had invviti ^ ated the matter ar their lsst aietting , and Zisii authorized Ullll
to bring forward the following resolution as their unanimous decision—it-rested with the members ¦ svhetb 6 r they approved of it or not : — " That we the Chartists of Birmingham , meeting in Aston-street , view with deep regret the wanton waste of ' Chartist money by their aeci edited Eervants ^ the members of the Executive Committee , and we further consider that our Secretary has added insult to injustice by his explanatory letter in the Star of last weeR ; and we hereby tender onr sincere thanks to the Rev . Wm . Hill for hia praise-worthy conduct in unmasking such a bare-faced rubbery , and txonerate Mr . Mo'gan Williams from all blame in those transactions . " Ilr . J . Saunders seconded the resolution , and said that however he might deplore the necessity of coming to sucn a resolution , yet as a Chartist he felt bound to take that course ; for how
could they complain of the injustice of thosa over whom they had no control , if they suffered tbeir servanis to misapply their funds ; it would make their eEemies think that they were not capable of using the franchise , were they to allow such practices . He had read Mr . Campbell's defence , aDd thought it only aggravated the crime with which he stood charged , for lie p . ' ainly stated that if the members were not satisfied with his vague explanation , that be could EOt give any other , and could not help it Fcr thoae Teasons he would cordially second the motion . Mr . Pavkes supported tbe resolution . He said when the subject was brought forward on a former evening , he opposed going into it thta , feeling desireua of hearing both sides . He had since read Mr . Campbell's letter , and also Mr . Bairetow ' s , and felt bound to support the
motion . The Chairman then asked if any person present had any remarks to make on the subject , and waited for a while , in order to giv » time to any person who felt so disposed , but no one feeling inclined to come forward , he put the resolution , which was carritd unanimously . Mr . White then addressed the meeting , and said that he had nsed the same of the Birmingham Chartists last week on what he considered a most important occasion , aiid he should lay the case betoro them , to ascertain "whether they would justify him in what he had done . The wife of the nobleminded and patriotic Ellis had passed through Birmingham on the previous Wednesday , to take her farewell of her husband , who was then onboard the transport ship , about to leave his native land . Mrs . Ellis having to stay a sbort while awaiting the
departure of the coach , read several of his letters , the last of which contained an earnest request for a little money , and some books . There was no time to be lost ; and , after mentioning the subject to Messrs . Follows , Horsley , and Potts , and receiring their sanction , he wrote to Mr . Cieave , of London , requesting him to advance ten pounds to Mrs . Ellis , and some books . Ho had written this in their name , and it remained for them to approve of ifc , or otherwise . He bad since received a letter from Mr . Cleave , informing him that he complied with the request . ( Loud cheers . ) He felt grateful to Mr . Cieave for his promptitude , and aise for his noble exertions to raise funds for the detecca of the Chartists who were being persecuted . Mr . Siunders highly approved of the conduct of Mr . White , and moved— "That his act be considered and adopted as that of the Chartists of Birmingham . " Mr , Parses seconded the motion , and said that he was delighted to think that ; poor EUia would feel that he was not forgotten or neglected . He considered Mr .
White ' s couauct . highly creditable . The Chairman pus thu motion which was passed unanimously . A gentleman present then moved— " That the thanks of this meeting be conveyed to Mr . John Cleave , of London , for his conduct on this occasion , and for his general services to the cause of liberty . " Mr . GWhite seconded the motion , which was unanimously agreed to . On the motion of Mr . Saunders , a resolution was passed , recommending the General Council resident in Birmmghom , to get up a public meeting for tbe benefit ef tbe Defence Fund . Notice was given that the nominations to the General Council would take place « n the following week . It was also announced that a reading class had been formed , at winch the Evening Star and various useful works wer « read every evenins . The admission is twopence , and a penny each wett antribution , bo that the working classes have now an opportunity of improving themselves and mixing amusement with instruction , fur one penny per week . After the transaction of the usual business the mebting separated .

I he minutss of ths previous meeting were read and confirmed , after which the case of Mr . Joseph Linnty was brought before the meeting and a collection entered into . Mr . Josiah Eanes and Mr . Fusssll then introduced the question eo-icerning Jhe Executive , and after a long discussion Mr . David Potts moved , and Mr . Newhouse seconded the following resolution , which was carried unaairaonsly . — "Resolvsd , That the Executive committee of the National Chartar Association have been guiity of gross neglect of duty , and contempt of ths p ) an of orsanizjsjon by their lavish expenditure of the funds entrusted to their care . We also consider tbat the general stiietary has kept his accounts in a clumsy and uusatisfaiUiry manner , which has not been improved by his
explanatory letter , and as men seeking to destroy the present corrupt system , we shouid not be doing eut duty were we to ot ^ Book the flagrant abuse of our funds by those who were elected for the express purpose of putting dos-n sneli practices , and must , therefore , however unwillingly , declare them tobenn ^ M-tby the confidence of the people . We , at the same time , consider it necessary to except Mr . Morgan Williams , as he does not seem to have taken any part Ia these disgraceful proceedings . " Various addresses were then delivered on the probable effect of the exposure that had taken place , and it was the general opinion that the Rev . Wm . Hill was entitled to the thanks of the Chartist public for bringing the subject before the country , and all partUa present theught that it would have the effect ef making the members of the National Charter Association look more atrictly into the plan of organia \ tion , andcau « ethe future Executive to be , what they ought to be , honest
servants . TBORKX . T . —Mr . Rigby preached k Chartist sermon at Cossop , near this place , on Sunday lait , to an attentive audience .

BAWICK . —PubHC MEETIS 6 . —A . public meeting was held in the Choi-List Hall , on Tuesday last , according to aiijoiirnmont , Mr . Charles Hunter in the chair , when the following Memorial , &c . was ageed to : — "Mat n ) please ihe Queen , —In approaching the throne for mercy , wa do not sanction violence , we palliate no criminality , -we justify no tumultuous riot arid disoriler ; but tiio sad fate of unfortunates , s 6 n-anierous , appealing to our sympathy ! we cofflinisserats their pitiable cs ^ ei andiirge our suit for Royal clemency . If the prayer of , our petition be unusual , the occasion is unprecedented ; its impression is co-extensive with , its influence prevade ? the whole community . Hundreds of our fellow-subjects are doomed to the various grades of punishment , only short of death itself , scarce any of Avhom ever previously incurred criminal guilt , or were even aware of any violation of law in the / conduct for which they aro so severely sentenced .
To the Sovereign , the arbitress of the national rights , liberties , and happiness , we aver the originating'cause of the calamities , we deeply regvet , was less 01 peiajnal depravity than suffdring and wrong . That cause we bitterly feel and too intimately know is fearfully general and portentous in its aspaot . ' Manual industry has been long reduced to the ' most abject ' . posittoii—unwilling idleness , partial employment , protracted and wasting toils , with remuneration inadequate to Biipply the demands of physical exhaustion . The exemplary patience of the people under their known privations , received the plaudits of both Premier and Par-1
liament duringthe recent session . That ; patience has been overdrawn , weaned , borne down , beyond endurance . With accumulating destitution , wretchedness , and misery to tbe millions , the monopolists of land and capital have competed , in thriving prosperity . Tast masses of the labouring classes witness the bounties of a munificient providence extended in rich profusion over hill and vale , * but axe riebaiied from partaking : they behold wealth and luxury ; , and ease and splendourand perish with hunger . These unnatural , inhuman distortions , cither reduce to drivelling despondency , or they goad to frantic ; desperation . :. ¦ . ...
A mere immediate cause of the recent lamentable disasters , we trace to . be a'rediictipn of Wages , to induce a voluntary cessation of labour- ^ a project approved , at least , by some of the employers / as a means to effect au extension of commercial relations , by a repeal of prohibitory duties . The proceeding thus stamped with a political character , the advocates of another propofied legislative measure , connected themselves with it , which if legitimate or criminal in the one case , we cannot hide from ourselves the conviction it was equally so in tbe other ; and although in the progress of eve ' nts the Cbartibts became inyoiveu , they did not originate them , and as' accessories after the . ' - -fact , justice would not visit them with the heaviest pehalUes , ' -while these wera permitted to escape with impunity . . Loosing sig ht of these impresaive and extenuating facts , infatuated prejudice , and strong political bins , rather than impartial Justice , and lenient administration of the- laws , seem : to have actuated manufacturers , magistrates , juries , councU , and judges in
common . ; Excesses and violence , as cause and effect , were essentially toe result of a .. ' cessationfrou . labour ; -and the introiluction of Chartism would retard and repress , rather than accelerate or extend thfini ; yet no sooner did the unfortunate junction occur , thau the spy and police sjfctfcais were let loose to betray and entrap thes ^ unbappy victims . Chartism has beeii illegally , as disqi&lification of bail , ' - ' . enounced from the judgment scat as touwmouni to grave and serious crime , while , in reality , it sesksomy legislative protection for labour , as otter interests , by possession of the elective franchise . Martyrs may bt multiplied fur thoir devotedness to truth and equity , but their principles are indestructible—immutable as the throne : of the Eternal—their guardian is Omnipotence .. , 1 In the first of the fairest of God ' s creation , what attribute bo Godlike as that of mercy »
Our Sovereign—We plead destitution and misguided judgment on the port of the offenders , unnecessary alarm and misconstruction in the judicial authorities , deep heartfelt interest by the people—the sorrow , the gloom , the anguish , the horror of domestic disruptions —susceptible of the tender relations of wife and mother , with natural regards for the oppressed , suffering , imploring subjects of Britain's ^ Empire—may it please the Queen , to investigate the cases— -remit aud mitigate the punishments of the unhappy prisoners convicted and sentenced for participating in the late ; disturbances in tbe manufacturing and miniag districts . It was rfiiolved , " That the memorial be signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting , and sent to Six Jas . Graham for presentation . "J : * " That the thanks of this meeting are due , and are hereby given to Mr . Roberts , of Bath , for the able and talented manner in which : he conducted the defence of the cidimt at Stafford . " "
• • ' Tbat this meeting cannot permit this opportunity to pass , without returning their sincere tflanks to Feargus O'Connor , Etq ; , for the manifold services and sacrifices done and suffered by hun in the cause of the people ; and particularly for hia exertions in behalf of those , who aloDg with bims * l £ are suffering persecution at the hands oi the factions , tor their a « herenv , e to the cause of juotice—thfe Peopla ' a Chattsi "

IORD ABINGER AND HIS VICTIMS . TO THE EDITOR OF " THE NORTHEKN STAR . , Sir , —If the once bold , justice-maintaining people of Great Britain have not utterly lost that spirit of manlyindependence for * hich they were renowned ; if they are not disposed to cringe and fawn on those who are base enough to add the grossest Insnlt to the wronga they have long endured , then will my Lord Abinger'a savage , vat Whoop indeed rouse them to a sense of duty . Tee people will revolt from the atrocities attempted to be practised in the name of law with as much horror as they . wbuld from the fangs of the moil venomous serpent . They will not , with abject patience , endure that such things , as bur " modern Juffcrya" should " ' "Act the veiy devil they obey . "
The couonal voice must so express itself as . to convince the " powers that be , ' that Bueh an enormous offender agaiost the very . decencies , not to say moralities , of society as Lord Abinger is not invulnerabie to a popular demand for justice . "All classes and conditions of men ' —however differing ia their political opinions—should . now seek from the throne the immediate removal of Abi&ger from the judgment-seat , which all reasoning men admit him to have disgraced . If this " modern Jeffrey'' be not removed , who can take upon himself tosay that it will not go far to reproduce the seeds of popular grievance , which ultimately may ripen into popular indignation , such as cost a Charles his life , and a James hia crown ? ;
Let , then , the people of every town throughout the empire immediately assemble , and adopt some such address to the . legislature as that recently decided npon by the great Metropolitan Meeting at the Crown and Anchor .

P ,. in the chair ; and were occupied a great portion of tho tiay in an investigatioii arising out of a charge of alleged im ¦ iiorality arnon * the female unmarried paupers , several of whom were stated to be :, eiicientc . It tnjnei ? out , hovreTai , aftfcf-due examination of the proper vffictors , tbat such ' was not the case ; and that the report was malicious a ' . d liufounded in fact . Oce of the guanUans ( a Mr , Hurly ) then referred to a rumour , that certain landlords , in the county were compelling the tenants to pay the entira amount of the poor-rate without giving them the just and ie ? al allowance to which they weto entitled by luw . ' , " If such were the fact . " ( said
Mr . Hurly ) ' it w&s no wonder there was great reluctance on the part of .. the people io pay tbe r « ite , and tbat it ; was necessary to have the aid of-the- military for its collection . " The chairman ( Lord Bernard ) remarked , that if sucha isysteiii bad been pursued by any landlord as described by Mr . Hurley , he i Lord Bernard ) would characterize it as most disorcditabia conduct The intention of tbe . ifiiislatnre was , that all ' parties . should beat a proportionable share of the buvdeny . and he could not the \ - efqre , account for such dishonest conduct . ' His lordship tiien-alladed to tha late melancholy affray at Skibbereea , and . entreated -of the guardians to aid ia the upholding of thii law ' iis'il . at'present . stood . As to a revision ,- that was another question , and for another plaee . Colonel . Cletko then proposed the two following resolutions , which were carriedunanimously : —
" Keaolved— -That the total failure of the Poor Law as a general measure of rfelief / the absolute isj action of it by a great majority of-these for whose benefit it was professed to have b 66 n enacted , -and the unhappily daily increasing symptoms of -opposition to the collection of the rates , in . iko it evident that tke subject must occupy the attention of the Legislature ,, at an early period after its assembling . ; ; 11 Resolved—rhatV-w ^ look forward to our noblQ Chairman taking a . prominent part on that occasion , and bringing to bear-on , the subject that mass of information , which he has acquired during his indefatigabla attendance in his place "iit the head of this bo « d ; and that with a view to strengthen the hands of his Lordship , and . of the other 'friends of rational and obvioua amendment , a statement . in the form of petition from
this board be drawn up , showing the working and entire / progress ot the law since its introduction into this union , and recommending such alteration , and impromueuts as may appear adriaabtii ; such petition to be intrusteel , to onr noble Chairman .. That it be jv part of the duty of the committee to prepare a brief addresa to the rata-payers ,. reconimending a peaceable compliance vfltU the ( letnand for payment o £ the rato , and pointing out the fatal consequences of an ; opposition to the law ; such address to be printed acd posted in conspicuous places throughout the different districts of the union . That the following gentlemen compose tha committee , aud that the members of this board pledge themselves by th ^ ir example , their . exhortations , their iiifluence , and their authority , to discourage and suppress all opposition to the payment of the poor-rates . " Then foUows the names of the proposed committee .

Robber * and Attempt to Murder . —On Tuesday evening last , about six o ' clock , as Wm , Walsh , of GHanworth , was returning , from Coik , where he had been to sell oats , the price of which he had on his per-Bon , on coming towards the- lime-kiln on the Ballyhooly mountain he perceiverf a man wearing a straw hat and white , vest coming frorii the kiln in the direction of the road .

In a short time he recovered so as to be able to crawl to a cabin at some distance , where be remained uutil next morning , when . he was conveyed home , and he now lies in so da&gerous a . state that little hopes are entertained of his recovery .

Dublin , Nov . 28 . —Assassination of a Roman Catholic Gentle ^ iam in TiPPEaARY . —There has been more blood spilt in-this wretched country . The particulars of this foul deed will be found in the following , extracted from the Mail ot Monday evening : — " This morning letters reached town , bringing the account of the murder of Mr . Scully , of Kllfeacle , ia the county of Tipperary , which event occurred on Saturday evening . The unfortunate lictim of the assassin ' s deadly aini . was returning to his residence after eDJoying a day ' s , sporting in the neighbourhood , when he was waylaid -and shot within a few yards of his own door . He survived tho discbarge of the deadly weapon only 15 minutes . - This gentleman , now the victim of the blood-thirsty and lawless system that still pervades that wretched country , had a similar attempt made upon his life some time since , in which the miscreants failed .
