Dissertebs ' Clams . —Out exeellent and -indefatigable Correspondent has sent us a long report of a lecture on this subject , by Mr . Thomasson , of Newcastle , which we are sorry ear limits forbid our fesertmg . "Wine Fox ast > Goose MsBtsse . —The Whigs of Manchester , finding thesaselres completely beaten on the stale question of the Cera Law Repeal , hare taken the hint of the Fox and Goose tribe ofLeeds , and hare very foolishly and snort-sightedly manifested a desire to cajole the wotting classes into their tarnished ranks , by calling apubiie meeting . Only a few workers were there , and at such meeting their big souls were dereloped in a most wonderful man-¦ Mn by pledging themselves , if the Chartists wonld
J oin them , to go like an tangry -ass at a hay stack for Household Suffrage , « fcc . 3 fco . But it will not d « here ; all their tricks are too plain before the eyes of the people ever to restore the Chartists of M ^ nqhgBter , or any other town in England , from the grand sad , te them , the most interesting point , namely , the light te protect themselres b y a rote in making the Jaws of which they are called upon to obey .

Mr . Berry , Wesleyan minister-engaged to prove that the book called the Book of Mormon , was not true . ; and likewise that water baptism , or baptism by immersion , is not essential to salvation . The Elder , in reply , was to tut the Book of
prove Marman is true ; and th&t Baptism in water is a gospel ordinance , and essential to salvation . We wece father amused to see what gnat interest was taken in this paltry afikir , as thoogh on the settling ef such a frivolous point depended the happiness and prosperity of the nation . We hope the people of Manchester , and more especially those who have to procure a living by the sweat « f their brows , will be on their guard , and not be again duped out ef sixpence each for admittance to hear such senseless jargon , and likewise to make such bad use of their preeioas time . Houwjo ) CoRitEB Msrsnc . —On Tuesday , a hole and corner meeting was called by circular , by the Whigs of New Cross Ward . and St .

On taking the prisoner , he remarked that it was a bad ; ob for him , whereupon he answered that he did not care if he had been banged for it so that he had killed him . " Mr . Olier said the wound wat * such an one as might be inflicted by the knife produced . The prisoner was then committed for trial to the next Liverpool aasises .

While feeding tbe devil his arm was drawn in and torn off near the Bhoulder .

BJJTOLE 7 . Fkbrakd ' s Amis , akd Odb Fellows' Hall . —On Monday last , the above public-house was opened by the Conservatives of this place , which were invited by tieket to take dinner at four o ' clock in the afternoon . The dinner was got up in a most excellent style , which did great credit to the worthy host . After tbe cloth was drawn , Walker Busneld Ferrand was appointed to take the chair ; several toasts and glees having been disposed of , the Chairman found the assembly getting rather rasty on his hands from the effects ef tbe wine , which was handed about in abundance , as is generally the case at the
Conservative meetings . At this place the conduct of the meeting was such that the Chairman bad to vacate his seat at an early hour in the evening , and left them to fight their battles bv themsslves ; some came tumbling down staira with bloody noses , others with black eyes , and others giving challenges , and to the great surprise of the bystanders , there was an old man , who has been a class-leader in the Methodist connexion for nearly twenty years , seen brandishing bis sovereigns and wanting to make a match for one of bis nephews to fight any man there was in the place . Such was the conduct and the finishing up of the Conservative party at the Odd Fellows' Hall on Monday night last .

It is earnestly hoped , as those poor men have braved the battle and the breeze , and are suffering in our cause , that they will never be deserted by their townsmen , who cheered them on in their and our work of redemption . Barnslet Fair . —Monday was our fair , and owing to the fineness of the day , the town was crowded to excess . Everything seemed dull , particularly houses- aad were it not for the country people the pubhe-lwuseB would have been totally deserted . In the afternoon several pickpockets were taken np .

BIMIHT Halipax Radicals . —On Saturday evening last , at the Labour and Health , Sonthgate , in this town ! a meeting of the members of the Association took place , which had previously been announced by placards , to take into consideration the propriety of dissolving the old Union , and of joining "The National Charter Association of Great Britain . " A conversation arose respecting the decision t o which the delegates had come to at Manchester , in July last , of having the Barnes of all the members sent to be enrolled in tbe books kept by the general secretary , under the direction of the executive at that plaoe , g ome contending that a many persons would
object to such a proceeding , and decline entering their names , subjected to such a rule and regulation , as that might be injurious to their private interests , and otherwise place them at the mercy of individuals of whom they had little or no knowledge . It was thought the more prudent step would be to send the number only , as the names would be kept in a book belonging to each locality where the members reside , and the separate Associations meet . After the conversation had been continued for some time three motions were brought before the meeting , first— "That the old Association be dissolved /' Second— "That the consideration of the question be adjourned to that day month , the seoretarv . in the
meantime , writing to Manchester , to inquire if the number of members of which the Association is composed could be accepted without nameB . " The third , as a rider upon the second— «• That the adjournment of the meeting be to that day fortnight . " All of which having been movtd and seconded , were put , and the last carried by a large majority . The sixth clause , under the head " registration of members" in the plan laid down by the delegates at Manchester , met with the most formidable opposflion , m" it was thought it might place facilities in the hands of Government , if inclined to oppose their measures , which wonld subject the whole of the Associations throughont the kingdom to the
consequences or any indiscreet act which -the executive themselves might commit , even' innocently , whilst evil-disposed men , ambitious in their designs , would seek the honours of the executive , in order to possess power to do mischief , and thus foil the best laid schemes which honest men . might set on foot , as the constitutional method of obtaining reforms in those abuses which have ever crept into all ciss governments . The plan would be easy of ttoption if the role be acted upon , as the authorities could give power at any time for the police force to enter the deliberations of the Executive' Council at any moment , seizing on the books and everything else , council and all , which would furnish them with a
complete due of every thing they required , with the direct strength of the party opposing their power , and the liberty of every member would thus be placed at the mercy of the magistrates and tho governing faction who rule . Suggestions wen thrown out about the propriety of haying large and numerous associations formed , first in the large towns and the different districts surrounding them , appealing to the united bodies about appointing Executive Councils , &c , afterwards ; for without that can be done , i * will be like making laws for a nation without haying a nation to govern , or the raisiae of a eastle without first laying . a foundation on which the edifice is to be supported .

ROCHDALE . Progress of Radicalism . —Since the termination of the Rerastration , the Tor ies , assisted by the thing that bespatters the pages of the Manchester Courier , have been assiduous in their endeavours to persuade the world of that which they would give the world , if they could believe themselves , viz .. that the registration terminated by a majority in their favour . Whatever may have been their success in other places , it is a truism which neither bribery , perjury , intimidation ,, or the knowingly propagated falsehoods of their hired scribblers wiU be able to controvert , that as far as Rochdale is concerned , their occupation ' s none . " The Radicals
( for we believe there is but aa insignificant few of those who were in times past proud to worship at the shnne of Whiggery , but what would consider themselves mightily insulted to be accosted by the name ) , even before the late visit of the Revising Barrister , were in a position to insure the return of a representative of their own choice ; and , so far from the cause having sustained an injury by the recent revision , they have gained a triumphant and overwhelming majority ; sincejwhich the requisition to Mr . Sharman Crawford has been in course , of signature , and his success is such as must have exceeded the anticipations of his most ardent admirers . Already have three hundred and upwards
of the most influential electors therennte affixed their names , amongst whom is the present Member , Mr . Fenton , Messrs . Chadwick , Kelsall , and Ashworth , Magistrates , together with the major part of tbe merchants and manufacturers , a considerable portion of the borough—such as are considered impregnable yet remaining uncanvassed . Thus has the Ministry , by their . pusillanimous tergiversation , their disregard of former professions , utter abandonment of principle , produced in the minds of a oon-Btituency , once their allied supporters , the expediency of a thorough radical change in the representative system .
Chdrch Ra * r . —We have heard from undoubted authority that , notwithstanding the recent defeat of the Church party , it is their intention to commence forthwith to collect the rate . Men of Rochdale , you have shown to the world by your resolution , courage , and manly bearing , during the late contest , your undying attachment to the love of princi p le , your imperishable hatred to tyranny , especially when it assumes the garb of religion . Should those promoters of discord , strife , and contention , attempt to insult the feelings , or pollute , by their obnoxious presence , the home of one conscientious opponent to demand this most unjust , aad declared ufegal impost , let them be refused . Show them , by your determination to stand to each other , in one grand indisolluble bond of union , that the days of Church mtolleranoe , bigotry , and superstition , is fast fading from the land . " > *
Lecture on Chartism . —On Sunday afternoon last , according to announcement , Mr . Leech , of Manchester , lectured in the National Charter Association Room , School-lane . Mr . Leech is one of the most calm and philosophical reasoners we have listened to for a length of time . He touched upon a multiplicity of subjects , such as the funding system , the debt miscalled "National , " the Corn Laws , and stated that , in consequence of the part he had taken in the discussion of that subject , he was turned out of employment . And these , said he , are the men that profess to have the interest of the people at heart . The fact is too obvious that the people must work out their own political salvation . He spoke for an hour and a half in the most animating style . After a vote of thanks for his really instructive address , the assembled throng dispersed . Mr . Greaves will lecture on Sunday next .
Accident . —As the three o'clock train was on its way from Rochdale to Manchester , and when about three miles on the road , one of the guards , being in tbe act of collecting the tickets on the outside , he unfortunately fell , when some part of the carriage caught him on the head . He was as soon as possible picked up , but without any sign of life' being visible ; he was conveyed to the Infirmary , Manchester , where he lies , but not the least hop » is entertained of hiE recovery . Police Information . —At the Petit Sessions , on Monday , six Magistrates on the Bench , a poor miserable looking man . named Wbitehead , summoned the overseers of the poor for the township of Ashworth , for eleven days' wages for work done on the road at 2 a . 6 d . per day . The complainant stated , some weeks ago his wife , in consequence of indigence
and poverty , was taken into the workhouse , but the husband being strong and healthy , was not taken in , but must work on the road , which he had done for some time , and had received for his wageB a ticket for nine pennyworth of shop stuff : he had , during the spring , worked at potato setting for the same parties at id . pee day aad his allowance . Some time of late , the man 8 wife , not relishing a poorhouse treatment , left the house ; at which time the htsband told the overseer that if he continued his wvrk , he Bhould expect the same wages as the other men * 2 a . 6 d . per day , and had worked eleven days as he thought on those terms ; but at the day of balancing , ninepence was offered , which he refused ; he therefore sought justice from the Gentlemen on the Bench , but instead of that be was told he might goab ^ ui Mb DusineB 8 . !!

Sir , —The man who does the Leedt Tims was never known to be either Radicat , Whig , or Tory since he became tbe conductor of that almost defunct JournaL He hu always figured as a nondescript , and has laboured most sedulously to generate his species . Fortune has either smiled upon his labours , or political disappointment has caused a collection of the same fry in the ancient borough of Leeds . The aforesaid Editor being the mouth-piece of the nest , hums a plaintive note in his last performance , which , when interpreted , signifies— Wb want a name . " They mast be a discontented and ass-like generationto be thus
, humming their wants in our ears , when they know they have been exhibited to the public as a choice collection of birds and beasts . This , H appears , they cannot stomach ; otherwise they would not now be humming their complaint through their organ of the Times . Now , Sir , I have not had the pleasure of visiting the menagerie in which they are contained , or I conld inform the bystanders whether the name already given be appropriate , or their complaint be just and necessary . I must , Sir , judge of them from circumstances .
They : will not not have the name already given ; this shows to me that they have no affinity with birds or four-footed beasts ; then let them be classed among the creeping things . They hum , yet I am sure they are not feet . Industry will not recognise them as members of her family . They amalgamate , or clot , together in the winter season—so do Bugs . They stink confoundedlybo do Bugs . Therefore , they must be HUM-BUGS . And th « re is no other name given under Heaven whereby they ought to be known . Yours , truly , Wm . Rides . Leeds , Oct . 13 th , 1840 .

—*¦ ' ¦ ' ' —•* * ¦• TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR Sir , —I have just seen , in your paper of the 3 rd instant , a long letter , bearing a name "Richard Manden , " purporting to contain some observations on what he designates "the Foreign Policy movement . " The language made use of in this tetter towards the purest-minded patriot of the present day , Mr . Vrquhart , exhibits the writer ( if it is not a feigned name ) in so degrading a light , that to condescend to an exposure of the absurdity it contain * , would be to do the production an honour which it shall not have at my hands .
1 write this to warn those who may read it , of the amazing effotta now secretly making , Dy the Tory and Whig fictions , to prerent the people from comprehending the condition in which the country is placed , and from understanding its real intensti , because they are beginning to perceive that the Intelligence and fitness to govern the state , are rapidly developing themselves in the people , and they know well that such would render faction powerless , and truth triumphant The two factions , at present possessing what they call " political rights , " ire perfectly well assured of theii own utter ignorance of everything appertaining to national Interests , and they see , in the awakening
intelligence of the people , a power which will shortly prove irresistible ; their object Is , therefore , to throw such fallacies in their way as will prevent them from acquiring the knowledge they dread . The letter to which 1 refer is precisely adapted for this , and I warn the people not to be led astray by it . let them remember that " knowledge Is power , " aad not weaken their cause by joining the two most detestable factions the world ever saw , in the work of yielding up England to the designs of foreign foes . I am , Sir , Your most obedient Servant , - William Caroul . Newcastle-on-Tyne , 8 th October , 1840 .
[ The signature is not a feigned name . It is the real signature of one whom we believe to be as pure minded a patriot as Mr . Urquhart , though he dissents from some of Mr . U ' s . positions ; as we do from some of Mr . Gargill ' s , though with those of them which refer to the Whig and Tory factions , we cordially agree .-Ed . ]

We have received the London journals of Friday . The following are extracts : — Despatches leaning towards a settlement with France were received at the British embassy at Parfo , on Wednesday last . The Porte has suspended its order for the blockade of Alexandria till the 15 th of October . This intelligence is deemed most favourable at Paris . —Herald . The Mmiieur announces that " Intelligence was received on Tuesday , by the telegraph , that a vessel had come direct from Alexandria to Toulon , bringing advices dated the 3 d of October . According to these telegrfcphio communications , hereafter to be explained by the despatches which have been forwarded to Paris , it was reported at Alexandria that Soliman Pasha was on the 27 th of September in possession of Beyrout , but the English fleet had occupied various points of the coast of Syria .

At nine o ' clock one of these groups , about forty individuals , linked arm in arm , went down the Boulevard des Italiens , and when they arrived in front of the hotel of the Minister of Foreign Affairs cried out , " La guerre J La giferrd !

following is from a private letter from poor Peddie , of Beverley , to his friends : — Since I wrote you last , I have been very ill—the cause , I may briefly mention , was a disease brought on me by the very serious effect of the treatment , or rather the mill , upon my system , for which a very small quantity of mercury was used , not ao much as I have known applied to a child , without producing any ill effect ; but , to the astonishment of myself , and , I believe , the surgeon , the effect was a most severe salivation , ' which lasted for twenty-seven or twenty-eight days ; for the first twenty-one I could swallow nothing but water-gruel and milk , upon which I lived all that time , with the exception of the first five days ' , in which I had nothing but cold water to take that I could swallow ; upon the 21 st day I , with great
difficulty , got swallowed some soft bread , with gruel , from whioh time I have been ( by God ' s blessing ) gradually recovering . I am , at present , sadly annoyed with piles ; also a constant pain and weakness in the left knee , which is very troublesome , especially when ascending a stair , or even walking . On Fridays iust when writing the letter , which ! hoped would have reached you before this time , I was seized with a very severe pain indeed , in all the right side of my head , and what both surprised and alarmed ine , my jaws became partially closed , and still continue so , so that the utmost distance I can get them asunder , will scarcely admit the ooint of
my little finger ; the surgeon thinks it ia a rheumatism , and has ordered leeches to be applied , &c . &c . I am compelled by truth to state , that the prospect of returning health conveys to me but little satisfaction , as I expect to be again shortly subjected to the barbarous torture of the mill , and again to belaid by it upon a sick bed . I cannot shut my eyes to the fact , that I painfully feel , that it is physically impossible for me much longer to bear up against it . My constitution must give way , of which it has already given very sensible hints ; that the only prospect I have is , in the return of winter ; perhaps the cold weather may , in some degree , lessen the intensity of my Buffering . ' '
Thb horrible Silent System . —Mr . Wm . Griggs , of Bethnal Green , caused the following petition to be presented to the House of Commons b y Dr . Lushington , on the 4 th of June last : — " To ths Honourable the Commons of Great Britain in Parliament Assembled—The humble petition of William Griggs , of Cambridge-road , in the parish of St . Matthew , Bethnel-green , and county of Middlesex , sheweth , that your petitioner riewB , with deep concern , the establishment of the silent system of solitary confinement into our prison discipline , considering tt aa inhuman and unchristian mode of punishing human beings . That he has most diligently searched the Holy Scriptures , and cannot in
any part thereot find authority for introducing into our penal code an infliction so cruel , or so derogatory to the character of man . That he considers such a method of torture to be unworthy of civilisation , and believes that hitherto no eavage nation upon record has resorted to a punishment for crime so destructive to the human mind . Your petitioner , therefore , makes this solemn appeal to the humanity of your Honourable House , trusting that the Almighty God will bo impress your deliberations with charity , as to cause an early abolition of all enactments so wickedly constructed , so opposed to the mild tenonr of Christianity , and so contrary to the benevolence of an all-wise Creator . William Griggs . "

A very Useful Committee . —It is proposed , in a Boston paper , that every man should constitute himself a self-examining committee , to inquire into his own conduct . It is believed the business of each committee would have to transact would keep it constantly and usefully employed . Lectures on Morals . —Dr . Lardner left Paris , a few days since , Ut embark with his fair companion for the United States , where the doctor will deliver lectures on morals , &o . . ' Night is a season favourable to nobleness of purpose . The world is , then , not too much with us , and our moral responsibility to God and man assumes a
mere demonstrated form . We are not ashamed of aspiring after virtue . There is no human sneer to wither our good intentions ; no glitter of pompous illusions to dazzle the clearness of our perceptions ; right and wrong resume the tangible and steadfast landmarks of the empire . Melbourne , on being applied to , the other day , to patronise a machine for cleaning kitchen chimneys , in giving bis concurrence , remarked that he did everything in bis power to discountenance climbing boys , alleging , with much solemnity of tone , that his kitchen chimney had not been swept since Victoria had ascended the throne !

Coxhoe—On Monday evening , Mr .

Tbe meetuc was held in a long room belonging to Mr . Seonr . publican , and . was most numerously attended . Mr . Lawsontook the chair , and inintroduouigMr . Deena delivered a spirited and excellent address , fc . Deegan was enthusiastically cheered throughout his eloquent address , and at the close many came forward to enrol themselves members of the National Charter Association . Three cheers were given fbr Messrs . Williams , Binns , Byrne , and Owen , thw *
for Mr . O'Connor and all imprisoned ChattistL . and three times three for the Charter , and oat cheer more for . themselves . The sum of 12 a . 9 i was collected . Mr . Deegan has begun in good earnest , as the following list of bis engagement will show - -Stockton , Monday , the 19 th inst } Middlesborough , Tuesday , the 20 sh ; Darlington Wednesday , the 21 st ; Soath Church , Thursday , tbl 22 nd ; Suno ' erkud , Friday , the 23 d . iama * w Durham Chartist Prisoners . — - We rejoice te hear that those friends enjoy a degree of comfort in their confinement , which , compared with the treatment of others , is like heaven compared with pandemonium . They not onl y enjoy good health , but are all greatly { improved since their confinement , and . are likely to leave their prisons with a rreit
increase of physical power , and better minds to direct it . Messrs ^ Byrne and Uwen wift " come out" out on the 34 th instant .
