TO IHE EDITOB OP THE KOBTHESIf SlAX . Sir , —^ Through the medium ' of your widely circulated ¦ Josro&l allow me to address a few lines to the Chartists « f < irtti . Britain on the suggestion of raisir . g the Star in price , and on the plan proposed at Hull by ilr . Bums , late delegate for Dundee . . As to raiEing the price of the paper , I have no objection myself , but I conceive it would have a bad etfect -on the circaiation of the paper . 1 may be told tint : hty ¦ jKe aotwortny of the cause , who would refuse an ad-¦ ditwsai'feaftfp'inny ; t > at we mus » consiuei that many caaJtardly afford to pay even their share of a clnb and others ara too selfish to extend their generosity ; and
We most consider whether it would be better to lost -those who lack that spirit or retain them . A bravt ami wise General endeavours to bring all he can to attack thfl . enffniy and we can only do so by inf using exalted ideas iTtiie minds of those persons , by disseminating a knowlege of our principles to make a successful attack upon tne enemies of our canse . We sec the defeat of the Corn I ^ w repeal agitators , and they are determined to continue their mode of procedure , regardless of the ofc-MSPTtpd plea , that it is only shifting the monopoly insta&d of abolishing all monopolies . If the raising the price of the Star will have the tendency to lessen its circulation in . the least , desist in the name of justice , : aad rather lower than increase the priee .
2 fow . j for ths plan of Mr . Buras . What does be mean tj a cai ' tonal press' Have we not the XortJitrm Star and ethers , more especially the Star , an organ unparalleled in its exertions in the cause of freedom—an organ that , when it started , found the Radicals scattered and divided , bnt by its powerful dLru collected tLeii forces and-concentrated their opinions , and led tnt-m on a ^ ains : the fotfi of justice till the tyrants have quaiied in ' ttieir « txong holdk , and which has never deserted tbe cause through good or bad report , and whose existence has been threatened by the powers that be , -whose base -efforts can on ' y be repelled by unity and determination on the part of the Chartists . I am proud to say that -tbe principles proaxu- ' gated in tie Star Lave been the « Ofiaa » of ^ oTriag the .. seed tbatwffl-gfcnnjnite to tbe peace and prosperity of the land , and it Is an ergon ich this

It baa done more for the cause Of Radicalism than all the Radical Journals pnt together ; bat think not that I mean to dis ^ ange therecofthe Radical press . Oh , eo ! too well do 1 know the vaiae cf our press , and wonld not cs ^ t a « sgle stain 00 any pcrUon of it , ^ though some might i&ve acted better , all are worthy of ycur support and ooantenacce .

TO THE EDITOB OF THE NORTHERN STAB . SIR , —I haTe seen , in your paper of last week , that * " Constant Reader" of the same , in Huddersfleld , has proposed a few questions to me ia reference to the National Prt $ s . He asks me to ssy what I coaceiT « the Northern Star to ba ? I say a newspaper . / Again , be asks—Ja my proposition devoid of sinister "motives ; and , if so , where-cas the peoplo ' a confidence been misplaced in tie Northern Star ? To the first part of the question I answer ^ -YES ; bnfwbat co nnection
it can possibly haYe with the latter part I am at a loss to understand , as I have , not tud anything about confi-4 eace 'being- miypl&ced in tbat or any other paper ; it needs , therefore ^ no inawer from me . ; Another qaestt « q fsgn yoqjt " Constant Reader " ' to me is—H » s not Mir . O'Connoi . speofnearly & witole fortune in defence of , tBe people ' s rights ? My answer is—That 1 do . not kiow that he has-done anything of tbe kind . But , perhaps , your " Constant Reader" can prove that hs has done so : it is easier ia prove a positive than a negative ; and I shall wait for his proof .
Your " Constant Reader" promises , that if I answer hia questions like a good boy , it may call forth something more from him . Have the goodness to inform your Constant Reader , " that , unless he gives the addition of his name to any future requests , I « hn ) 1 take no notice whatever of his communications .

CHELTENHAM WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION . On Monday evening last , a numerous and f nthusiastic meeting of this association was held for the purpose of addressing her Majesty , to release all persons now confined in prison for advocating the principles of Universal Snffrage ; and to dismiss her present Ministry aa unworthy of her confidence , and enemiea to the welfare of the people . Mr . Grodine having been called to tbe chair , the meeting was addressed by Messrs . Banfield , Joseph Hume , Spackman , Hooper , &c , &c , The following petition was adopted unanimously amid loud cheering , and it was also agreed , on the motion of Messrs . Davis and Melsom , that its presentation should be entrusted to Lord Sandon , M . P ., and that Messrs . Wakley , Duneombe , and Fielden be requested to support its prayer , and that copies be forwarded for insertion in the Cheltenham Free Press Statesman , aad Northern Star papers : —
To the Honourable the Commons of ihe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland , in Farfiament assembled . Petition of the Chairman of the public meeting assembled on iho evening of June the let , at Cheitcshaitt , to take into consideration the propriety of Petitioning Parliament relative to the sufferings of the numerous persons now lying in prison for political offences , and of tho Secretary and Treasurer of the WorkiEg Men ' s Association of the same place , —
HrsBLT SHEflrETH , —That yoor petitioners being conscious of the respect which is due to manly independence ami virtuous vrorth , wnethor found in tbe homely dwelling of the victim of poverty , or in tbe more exalted of the senate house ; aware of tho duties incumbent npon them , and the etiquette which custom has introduced as necessary on the approach to your Honourable House , appear before you with becoming deference , » sd with the most . fervent expectotioas , ta * t yoa will be plowed to © ompjy wkb their auxins prayers , end fjiv ^ tfiem ft ( txflEtgg iHastr *« on that you are not ttro representatives merely of a portion , but that you legislate in accordance with the sentiments of tfie peoule , and sympathise with those who stand in need of yonr assistance .
In the period of Tory domination , when a Sidmoutb , a Liverpool , and a Castkreagh , swayed the destinies of this mighty empire , the petitions " of the people , if not on ail occasions attended to , met with becoming attention in ycur Honourable House ; but as we have fonnd by experience under a Ministry profeasing to be liberal , a system has been introduced which has transformed ths lauded right of petition into a nonentity , and the petitioners with the most contemptuous indifference . It is on this account that your petitioners have recommended and adopted the present course ; that though the contents of this petition express the sentiments of thousands of perin htown and nei
sons tis ghbourhood , and lias received the sanction of a numerous body in public meeting assembled , they see the fallacy of expending time aiid money , whieii they might more profitably employ in the snpport of the families of their friends suffering under the lash of oppression . Your p « . t ; t : oaers are speaking the sentiments principally of pursons meeting together for mutual , moral , iaid political improvement ; their character as a political body for years past testify their peaceable demeanour , and their conduct on all occasions bespeak their respect for all larrful authority ; they therefore pray your Honourable House will comply with their most ardent requests .
Your petitioners recollect well the time when her Majesty ' s Ministers were political agitators , and that they agitated by means and language which has not been exceeded by those on whom they have of late been pouring their heartless revenge ; they bear in mica the time , when the Ministry of his Majesty William the Fourth aided the agitation of tho passing of the Reform Bill by supplying the agitators with Government ; riuik 8 , and tkat some of hia leading emissaries held out the recommendation of a nonpayment of taxes , which if carried out must have led to fearful results . They recollect the expression Of cne of her Majesty ' s Privy Councillors ; language \ vhich , if uttered by one of your petitioners , would render him liable to Whig prosecution , and to Whig vengeance , when he said , My determination is final ; if those who have the power , attempt to deprive me of the inalienable right of meeting my fellow countrybl
man y etting loose a soldier at me , without the warning of an Act of Parliament , I will resist him if I can ; if they do not give mo the warning of an Act of Parliament I will break is if I can . " -They cannot but recollect thft eminent peril by which the country vras environed by the menances of the respectable ngitators of Reform Bill notoriety ; the O'Connells . tLe Russeik , the Hobhouses , and the Melbournes ; their pretended atUchmcnt ~ to The litferty -of « dnscience , and iue riglit of the people to meet to discuss their grievances ; they cannot recollect these circumstance ? , without loolEing on their recent conduct towards their political victims , aa heartless , cruel , aiid vindictive . \ Your petitioners refer your Honourable House to tho circumstance of her Majesty ' s Secretary of State sending in a forca of Loadon Police to pnt down public meetings at Birmingham , peaceably and legally assembled .
Your petitioners date the extravagance of some few of their more enthusiastic friends to this unconstitutional interference ; and that if the expression of tie minister above alluded to be justifiable , those men had the right to resort to such extremes as therein recommended ; but well aware that such language , and such mode of proceeding , were eontrary to law , opposed to social order , injudicious , and exlrara ^ ant , they did not resist the anthoritie ? , nor has it been proved , throughout the whole investigation , that any one of the party were in the least implicated in the destruction of property upon that
occasion . Your petitioners are intimately acquainted with many of the persons suffering impnsonmeni for political offences ; they can therefore speak positivel y ns to their moral worth * nd peaceable behaviour ; they * dmit with pride zud sat&faetion , that it was to the entreaties of such men as Vincent , that nombers of those persons who ha-ve enthusiastically adopted this petition , were induced to become sober m « D , and thereby as a coE * equenc « to become peaceable and thinking men .
Your petitioners can bear testimony to the anxiety opoa all occasions of the person just alluded to , to recommend his auditory to keep within the pale of the law , an * although the jury by whom he vras tried thought proper to record a verdict against him , it was proved on that occasion that he pariieul&rif recommended a submission to all lawful authority . That they believed it is to such men as Lorett , Collins , O'Connor , M'Douall , and others , that the peace of the country has been preserved , and that a recurrence of the eiyil conflicts , and destruction of property , which time back followed a 3 a consequence from tb « distress and wrsUhed condition of ihe working elaesee , have not taken place . Your petitioners cannot but look npon the conduct of her Majesty ' s Ministers , towards tbe hun-

dreds of political offenders now immured in their dreary dungeons , as cruel in the extreme , unjustifiable , as being contrary to common usage , Bvudag officers of the Crown having" cpfttro ^ Over prison regulations as arbitrary and tyrannical . They recollect when the treatment of Collins and Lovett was brought before year Honourable House , and after the sympathy which had been expressed within Us walls , they had a right to expect from the Secretary of State , that when it had Seen proved that the excess of punishment during the nine months they had been suffering , exceeded the whole of what was intended by the sentence of the period of their confinement , that an order wonld have been made for their releasement , but no Buch thing took place . dreda of oolitieal offenders now immured in tTtAi ' r
Those who sympathised with the prisoners in your Honourable House , and the country at large were disappointed in their expectations , a continuation of their imprisonment took place , the same , treatment was strictly adhered to , aud all this because they would not accede to the fresh sentence wished to be imposed upon them . Your petitioners recollect tho occurrences which were attendant upon tho agitation dnrifta tho Ministry of George the Fourth . They recollect the strong language made use of by Sir Francife BHrdett , "which called forth the wrath of the Attorney-General at that time ; language not to be exceeded ^ any of the martyrs suffering tmder Whig injustice at the present time , and the moderate punishment which followed , being treated withbecommghBmsrait y , whilst O'Connorj under Whig regime , is treated like a felon .
They bear m mmd that at that pwfiod whan the leaders of a body of men , among wfrimwere Major Cartwright , Messrs . Edmonds , Haddocks , and Wooler , and others , recommended aid determined , at a pnblic meeting , that Sir Chas . Woolsey should , contrary to law , be appointed Membei of Parliament for Birmingham , and personally madekood his claim to be admitted into the House of Commonsrihat the parties so offending wero prosocuteq ; that Major Cartwrigh received a nominal * ntenoft of oae week ' s imprisonment on account of hi » age ; that Edmonds followed his literary and political occipaifoh . whilst in prison ; and that Mr .

Your petitioners cannot viaw tH&-records ot the transactions of tb yfese days without looking with shame upon those men , who in Ihe Jresent day euffer the poor old m ^ in , Benbow , to pa immured iu a noisome dungeon / for eighteen monfths for what tho Attorney-General thought propertto . caJJ sedition ; sedition such asrthe publishers of ciie leading newspapers are guilty of ; language nptj half »© . extravagant as some of their prosecutors pave made use of time back , and which the Church demagogues of tho present day utter with impunity , and without interruption . ? Your petitioners are persons holding the right of voting at elections for Members of Parliament , a right which they are indefatigable in their exertions to exteud to others ; they have time back been assiduous in aeaistiug in the return of men pledged to 8 upporther Majesty ' s Ministers , they did so on the expectation that they would cany their professions iutQ . practTce : they find them becoming more ill i-
oerai aaiiy . tney are tneretoredetermined , and they recommend to all constituencies to follow the same course , to oppose with alljtheir p ^ Brcr . and influence tho return of such men as will 8 uc $ ua $ i 6 a Ministry devoid of justice and humanity . - .

LABOUR verms CAPITAL . TO ALL THOSE WHO DF . PEJJD VWH DAILT TOIL FOR SUBSISTENCE . "The Labourer is worUiyofhis hire . "—Jesvs Curist . Brother Producers , —Tho ei ] teumstances In which the Stockport power-loom weavers are placed , call aloud for our most heart-felt sympathy , and imperatively demand our most strenuous assistance and snpport . When tho mighty capitalist , arrayed in all the power that enormous wealth can procure , endeavours to appropriate to himself a considerable portion of the small ear nines of those who hare
produced his all , and withoui ' whom he could not even exist , it isi ^ tTntthibt ^ H ^^ wh ^ labptir to take op the- quarrel , aodr ^ nSp with tho toico of thunder in the ears of the ' con&crenceless monster' Thou shalfc not oppress our brethren . " The people of Stockport have ' fought manfully against the tyrant . and , with a little assistance , they mil ere long accomplish a complete and decisive victory ; but they must be supported , otherwise they are lost ; and the greatest encouragement to the master in offering a reduction is , the knowledge that a brother tyrant has offered it with success .
None can regret more than ourselves that collisions such as the one under notice , should tako place between the different classes of her Majesty ' s subjects , neither wonld any parties be more ready to denounce the conduct of men who would endeavour to coerce unjustly the possessors of wealth ; bat it muBt never be forgotten that " property has its duties as well as its bights , " and when the possessors of property neglect to perform their respective duties , their rights assume a rather " questionable shape . " It is the duty of those who compose the sinews
of the state , viz . —the working classes , to see that wealth does not obtain too powerful an ascendancy over their rights and interests , for when it is in the power of the wealthy to reduce the remuneration of the labourer to tho lowest ebb at which existence can be maintained , wealth is certainly become too powerful . Let the peoplo look to this , —for when the opulent combine against the producers , while the producers are split up into innumerable divisions , tbe former must come off victorious , whilst the latter will be reduced still lower iu the scale of social existence ; but what power on earth caa successfully oppose a united people ?
Are not tho population of this country already reduced too low 1 The answer must be an emphatic " Yes . " And will you , people of Macclesfield , assist m preventing your brethren of Stookport from being reduced still lower ? We know yoa will , and wo confidently leave the case in your hands . We remain yours , in defence of the Labourer ' s Rights , The Macclesfield Committee j ? or Supporting the Stockport Tuak-Oim .

DREADFUL FIRE IN THE CITY , AND LOSS OF FIVE LIVES . Sunday morning , about half-past one o ' clock , a calamito « B fire , attended with an appalling loss of human life , broke out on the premises occupied by Mr . Price , bookbinder , Ivy-lane , adjacent to the eastern entrance to Newgate Market , which consisted of a three story brick building , the property of Mr . Barnes , of Paternoster-row . Mr . Price carried oa his business intthe house , but let out the front , shop to ¦ Mr ' .- Packefj « bookseller , who resided at CambcrweUl ; : TiGk ^ Pri ' ce : and "his family occupied the remaining por&ittfof the premises , using a large back apantment on flf ? level witii the front-shop as his werkpfaop . The first intimation of
a fire in the neighbourhood was by the smell , which attraoted the attention of city police Sergeant Morris and others on duty near the spot . They passed up aud down Ivy- ' ane several times , as the smell of fire was very strong there , but for a considerable period were unable to discover its actual locality . At length smoke was discovered to-tfa issuing from the premises in question . Shortly after the flames bur 3 t forth , and were extendine themselves throughout the entire building , and the attention of the police and inhabitants having been mainly directed to the preservation of the unfortunate inmates , they had omitted , immediately on the first discovery , to despatch messengers for the fire-engines . The fiiot information that arrived at the head station in
Watling-street , which is the nearest to the spot , was at about ten minutes to two o ' clock , and the two large engines were instantly sent off with a detachment of the brigade men , under the directions of Mr . Braidwood , the superintendent . B y two o ' clock the parish engine of Christ Church , Newgate-street , arrived , followed by those of the brigade from White Cross-street and Farringdon-street stations , and water having been procured , they commenced operations upon the building , which by this time had become enveloped in one mass of flame * Engines from Jeffery-Bauare , Crown-street , Chandos-fitreet , Southwark-bridge-road , as also the Westof England , arrived in speedy succession , aad were got to play . Notwithstanding these exertions , at a quarter Dast
two o ' clock the conflagration assumed a terrific appearance , having extended to the extensive warehouse of Mr . Virtue , the bookseller and other premises adjoining , and , owing to the narrowness of Ivy-lane , and the closeness of the locality , it was much feared that the firemen would be unable to check its progress , and that the destruction of the entire street would be the result . By dint of great exertions , however , on the part of the police , inhabitants , and firemen , the hose of the engines was got through several houses , and water brought to bear on to the roofs of the threatened buildings , and the fire confined to the house of Mr . Price . It was nearly four o ' olock before the flames were entirely subdued , . and not before much damage had taken place to other houses in Ivy-lane , and also to three houses oa tbe east aide of Newgate-market .

The fire had nearly been subdued when Mr . Braidwood received information from some of the inhabitants Of Mr . Price ' s escape , and ths startling intelligence that it was almost certain that Mrs . Price and her four children had perished in the flames . This information having been subsequently confirmed by Mr . Price himself , about five o ' clock , the fire being subdued and the smoke having partially evaporated , the remains of some human beings were discovered dangling between some of the burnt rafters of the upper portion of tho building . The heat of the ruins , however , prevented at this time any approach for the purpose of removing them on the part of the firemen ; but in about an hour afterwards , by the constant play of water on them , they became TliaflrAli ! utiiaui 1 vlu ) aniniKi ) ii « iit > h » iiir . n ~ M .
suthoiently cooled to allow of an attempt being made to secure these bodies and any others that might be found . For this purpose scaling ladders were placed against the front of the building , and two firemen having ascended to the window of the floor , from which the bodies were fieoh to he suspended , they succeeded , after muoh difficulty and danger , in placing them , in a sheet and lowering them into the street . These were , the bodies of three children ; and , from the position in which they were found , it is evident that they perished clinging to one another . Immodiatoly after , search was made on the basement of the building , and in less than ten minutes the body of their unfortunate mother ( Mrs . Price ) , with the remains of an unfortunate infant clinging to her
breast were discovered amidst the ruins . The whole of the bodies were conveyed to tho dead-house of Christ church , Newgate-street ; aud aa they passed the deepest sensation of sympathy appeared to pervade the multitude who were assembled . Throughout the whole of Sunday and Monday , the Bcene of the melancholy catastrophe was visited by hundreds of persons , who expressed the deepest sympathy at so dreadful an occurrence . Mr . Price is in a Bta , te approaching to madness . It is stated upon good authority , that he has for sometime previous to the occurrence been affected with a nervous complaint , which impaired his intelleot . To this is mainly attributed his inability to rescue . hia unfortunate wife and . children ; it being ascertained from the position Of the premises , that ho might , had he been possessed of sufficient nerve , have saved the whole of them , by passing them
througfrthe trap-door of the bed-room in whioh they slept to the roof . A table / beinft ; pUpe 4 * nnaar ) hjD trapdoor in this room only left Mspace of three feet from its position to the ceiling , so that Mr . Price might easlyhave received , with the least exertion , the children through it . Mrs . Price was very near her aecouchement . She is scarcely at ail disfigured by the , fire about the head and lace , but her legs were completely burnt off , and her lower extremities almost-reduced to a cinder . The eldest boy is . identified by a part fii his corduroy trowsers , which he managed to jump into on the alarm being raised , but tho other children are so dreadfully burnt that their size is the only means by which they can be told ono from the other . An inquest has been held on the bodies . The jury , after some discussion , returned a verdict " That the unfortunate deceased persons were burnt to death at the lato fire in Ivy-lane , but how such fire originated there was no evidence to show .

TEMPERANCE IN IRELAND . ( From the Dufilin Monitor . ) The great Temperance reformation continues to progress with astonishing and highly gratifying celerity . The people are daily becoming more sensible of theinvaluable blessings resultinetfrom temperance , and encouraged by the example of those who have already taken the pledge and exhibit its virtues in their own persons , men heretofore distinguished as drunkards , are fast abandoning the evils of their ways , and are entering upon a new life of sobriety ana peaceful industry . Wo have all along regarded the temperance movement as destined to effect the thorough regeneration of Ireland , hot only morally and socially , but politi ¦ cally . Wo moan not by politically anything
connected with the atrite ot party polnioa—tho temporary interests of mere party are not allied with the great political well-being of a country . What we moan , therefore , is that a people distinguished for moral habits and social virtues must necessarily bocome a powerful people—pewerful in knowledge , in ^ veil-directed industry , and consequently powerful in prosperity aud national greatness . Rich aa Ireland most unquestionably is in a fertile soil and in the possession of all the sources of natural wealth , still it has perpetually been the complaint and wonder of all writers that such a , 'fine country should nevertheless be iuhabited by an impoverished people . Much , no doubt , of the poverty complained of arose originally from unwholesome legislation
and an unsound political condition ; but we think it is beyond disputation true , that by far the greater portion of misery and wretchedness observable in the country was caused primarily by intemperate indulgence , wliich naturally produced a disorganized social Mate , asd infected the people with improTV deailjidjjit * , which reduced the produotive woajtfi eg the « jountry—impeded the accumulation of capital , without which industry can never be well directed or well remunerated . It follows , therefore , that if intemperance has been the prolific source of such evik , the only proper remedy to remove them is to remove the causa ol them . This the temperance reformation , now eo happily in progress , will do ; and therefore it is that , as sincere lovers cf our country , we rejoice to find tho movement becoming universal . It appearsthat on the first of this menth the Cork Total Aostinence Society , of which Father Mathew is tho President , numbered no fewer than 1 202 628
, members . Besides whioh , in Connaught there are enrolled about 200 , 000 members—in Wexford 75 , 600 —in Dublin 80 , 000 , and in other parts of the country 120 , 900 ; making a total of more than a million and a half individuals who have voluntarily engaged to abstain from all intoxicating drinks . But this we are certain is under the mark , as wo have good reason to believe that Ireland now numbers upwards of two millions , pledged in the sacred cause of Temperance , while the good work is daily progressing with wonderful success . No man can now entertain a doubt of the perfect triumph of Temperance ia Ireland , and of tho fact that tho reformation will be as permanent as it has hitherto spread with unparalleled celerity . Its permanence is guaranteed by its universality . It has now assumed a national importance ; and , henceforward , the national character will be as remarkably distinguished for sobriety as formerly it unhappily was tor the hideous vico oi habiiuai intoxication .
There is one pleasing feature connected with the temperance movement which must be exceedingly gratifying to all good men . We allude to the distinguished part which the clergy of all denominations have taken , and are now taking in the sacred cause . Father Mathew has often thankfully acknowledged tho ablo and zealous co-operation of many enlightened members of the Protestant church , aud deprecated the introduction of any political or seo * tarian differences , which would have the effect of obstructing tho moral revolution so ardently desired by all who value the happiness of the people . The
only thing requisite to ensure the total eradication of intemperance is , the cordial union of the clergy of all creeds ; and when it is considered that to the clergy especially appertains the careful guardianship of the morals of the country , it is not too much to hope that all will , forgetful of religious distinctions , unite in accelerating the spread of temperanco , which will bring health , peace , comfort , aud happiness to the fireside oi Protestant , as well as Catholic . It is a common object , which' all should have in view—a cause in wHich every labourer is a philanthropist aud a patriot . \ \
