_Aip , "Wednesdays , and Thursdays , Mr . O'Connor is obliged to work nine hours every wees , and thirteen boars » day some weeks ; nor do we think that men _ttho have learned to do their own work , should impose _gach a tax upon one who has never flinched from more than his share . _^ goHAS Moxcak _, H 4 KDIWE 9 . —He can recover in money all that has been paid in goods hy his master , nd the magistrate is bound to grant a summons . , t .

West _Ridisg of Yobkshi & e . —Resolved , " That it is of vital importance that tbe Chartists of the West Riding of _Yorkshire should be prepared to pnt in nomination _a Chartist candidate at the forthcoming election , to _adrocate the principles contained in the People ' s CUarter ; and we suggest the propriety ofthe secretaiy of the West Riding to call a delegate meeting as soon ss convenient , to take into consideration the above object . " j . Owes- —We fear the charge for a spinning jenny does not come under the provisions of the Truck Act . 53 _ i . BOTn _ E . —Correspondents who request answers should always sign their names ; however , we wiU answer his question this time . He is liable to be bslloted _, as all men are , but having two children is a
ground of exemption sufficient to exonerate him from serving . _fsoHAS Silvestek must have seen tbat the arguments in his letter would go to enforcing the necessity of _purcT-ising land in all cases in the southern districts , which would at once nullif y the advantages to be derived from having divided the conntryinto districts . Kor do we think the Birmingham people , to whom his letter is addressed , wonld be induced by his arguments to prefer Falmouth to "Warwickshire or "Worcestershire . If tbe south has its advantages , it also has its drawbacks . The country is to be divided into five districts , and in the equalisation and selection of those , the trustees and directors , with a proper solicitude for the interest of the shareholders , must be the best judges . Vetkbah Patriots' and Exiles' Widows' asd Childbes ' s Fokd . —Atthe committee-meeting , last "Monday night , £ 513 s . was disbursed among the suffering objects

I am also requested , hy the committee , to desire all subscribers , in future , to state explicitly , to which of the two funds thej wish their contributions to "be applied . I trust that , in conclusion , I may be allowed most urgently to entreat all real Chartists to make an effort forthe relief of the sufferers , who , at this season , especially , need their help . —Thomas _Coopeb _, secretary . 134 .

THE LATEFATAL GALES . .
Since The Announcement Of The Loss Ofthe...
Since the announcement of the loss ofthe St . David steamer , while on a passage from Havre to rlymouta and Liverpool , during the recent fearful gale , considerable sensation has prevailed at those ports relative to the numberof persons who perished with her . There is Tery little probability of an accurate list of the unfortunate sufferers ever being obtained _, ilr . William JOavidson , merchant of Havre , the consignee , states that he regrets being unable to famish such facts aa the relatives of those on board the St . David steamer , when she left that place , might desire . He was quite ignorant of the number and names of the persons on board , but to his _knowledge there were not any passengers . She had a
valuable cargo , to the extent of £ 20 , 000 , probably more , consisting of silks , wines , & c . The St . David left the port on the I 3 th ult ., about ten o clock in the evening . The weather at the time was rather moderate , with an appearance of a continuance of easterly wind . Later in the day , however , it came on to blow , and on the Mowing day the wind veered round to the westward—the afternoon of that day blowing a perfect storm . Up to the date of the letter , nothing positive had been heard of the steamer , at least at that port . Several hogsheads of wine , forming part of her cargo , which were stowed upon deck , had been picked up , which confirms tlie probability of her total loss . Relative to the supposition of there being no passengers on board , it is
sadly feared it is incorrect . Some of those who saw the ill-fated steamer leave Havre , report that they saw on her deck about twenty persons , while there appeared 'to be others below . A portmanteau , containing women ' s wearing apparel , has been picked np off Fecamp , where the hogsheads of wine were found , and it is generally believed that it formed the property of a passenger of the unfortunate vessel . According to the latest accounts , with the exception of the body of the stoker , none others of the unfortunate sufferers have been picked up or washed ashore . As regards the loss of the Tom Bowling steamer , nothing farther has been heard of her . That she perished with all hands off the Dutch coast , there cannot be a doubt .
A sloop , laden with coal , from ~ Newport , _Monmouthshire , in a passage to Caldico Point , was totally wreckedon the Cornish coast , and all hands lost . Four bodies have been washed ashore , and amongst them were those of Mr . Williams , of Redrig , part owner , and the master , Mr . Opton , who were found clasped in each other ' s anus . The other bodies seemed to be those of seamen , and being naked , it is presumed that they intended to save themselves by swimming . Near Bude , on a shoal about two miles distant , on Saturday , was lost a schooner , named the Anne , of St . Ives , laden with copper ore , while proceeding from Deverau to Swansea . The gale at the time was blowing very hard from the AV . N . W ., and one ofthe crew , in attempting to take in a reef of -the mainsail , was blown from the yard-arm , and falling en the deck , was instantly killed . The crew , by taking to the boats before she struck , succeeded in saving themselves . Another of the
crew , however , was shockingly iniured bylbeing jammed between the boat and the ship ' s side , and is not expected to survive . The vessel became a wreck . A brig called the Dorothea ( of nearly 300 tons' burden ) , belonging to Sunderland , was wrecked ahout the same time off Hayle , on the Devonshire coast , but forunately for the crew , nine in number , they were rescued by the pilot-boats that put off from that place . Two fatal collisions are reported to have occurred in consequence of the violence of the gales ; one happened on the night of the 28 th ult ., about four miles S . W . of Bcachy-head . to an'Oldeiiburgh schooner , named the Aurora , of Riga , and bound for Bordeaux , which waa run down by the Thorwaldsen bark , on a voyage from Copenhagen to St . Thomas ' s . The collision was of so fearful a character , that the schooner sank within a few minutes after she had been struck , one ot the crew going down with her . TEe remainder , consisting ofthe master , his wife , a child , and several seamen , managed to get on board the Thorwaldsen . The other collision
was _attended with more fatal results . It occurred off Brighton , on the 27 th nit . when the ship Donor , from London , bound to Trieste , came in contact with a French lugger , and sunk her , the crew perishing with her . The Unicorn . ofSeaton _Sluice , _Lumsden , master , foundered on the morning of the 22 nd ult ., when within 120 miles of Flamborough-head . Her crew took to the boat , and were picked up by a vessel belonging to Yarmouth , which landed them at Sunderland . One ofthe vessels previously reported te have gone down in the west bay of Dungeness , has been ascertained to be the Elizabeth , of Newcastle , with a cargo of coals . Three of the bodies ofthe ill-fated crew were in the course of Sunday washed ashore , and have been since interred at Lvdd Church .
It willie remembered , that m the early part of the gale , one of the Royal Yacht Club vessels , called the Fanny , was totally lost , with all hands , off Bideford harbour . Among theunfortunatesufferers were Mr . John Charles Montgomery , the owner , and Mr . Charles Reilly . The body of the former gentleman was found on Friday near the lighthouse on the Branton Sands , and was identified by his brother , Major Montgomery , ofthe 45 th . That of Mr . Reilly has not as jet been washed ashore . Wreckers have made their appearance along the Devonshire coast , and we regret to say in considerable numbers . On the West Indiaman going ashore , as
already reported in this journal , near Padstow , the coast-guard , seeing the disposition of the crowds that flocked to the beach topluader the wreck , promptly gave notice to the Custon-house , and the military were forthwith called out to protect to property Unfortunately the gale continued , the ship during tiie two succeeding nights broke up , and became a total loss , when , notwithstanding the vigilance of the men on duty , the pillage was carried on by the miscreants to a large extent . A man and two women were found dead on the beach , having drunk the rum washed ashore from the wreck to such an excess as to cause their death .
For several days past the coast guard hare been searching the cottages for miles round , and in many instances have found portions of the property secreted in the dwellings . All the occupiers of such places are lodged in prison _.
Serious Railway Accidents. Fatal Acciden...
SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENTS . Fatal Accident ok the Ashfobd asd Mabgatj Branch Railwav . —An accident , which has resulted fatally , occurred on Thursday morning on the Works ofthe South Eastern Branch Railway to Canterbury , Ramsgate , and Margate , near the village of Minster . It appears tbat early on the morning in question , a train of loaded ballast waggons started from Canterbury down the line to Minster , being propelled at the rear by a locomotive . In the foremost waggon were twelve or fourteen excavators , who were
going to relieve those who had been working during the night . The morning was exceedingly foggy , and the engine-driver being unable to see much in advance , the train unfortunately ran beyond the spot where it ought to have stopped , and the first waggon , containing the excavators , went over the end of the line , and was precipitated down an embankment . The poor fellows were thrown out , and two or three of the waggons , filled with ballast , fell upon them . Oneof the men was killed on thespot , and two others grievously hurt .
Fatal Accident at thb _Newcastle asd Dabuxgiox _RiawAT _Termlws . —South Shields , Fridat Moemso . —Yesterday afternoon , about one o clock , a melancholy accident , which has _resilted in the loss of two lives , and the serious injury of another individual , took place at the Newcastle and Darlington Railway Terminus , in this town . For some time past extensive improvements have been making in that portion of the railway which is between South Shields and Brockley Whins , and which was recently purchased of the Brandling Junction Company ; and during thc past week a number of men have been emp loyed in lowering the ¦ ides of an embankment , near the Shields Station . Whilst doing so _yesterday afternoon , one of the men observed a portion of the bank give way , and he instantly gave an alarm to his companions . They rushed , as they supposed out of danger , but whilst doing so , three of them unfortunately got
jammed between the waggoni , and betore they could be extricated , an immense body of earth fell , and buried them beneath its weight . On removing the earth it was found that two of them were dead , and the third was so severely injured that only faint hopes can be entertained of his recovery . The names of the persons killed are Thomas Burn and John Bradford . The man injured is Kobcrt Costorphan , a publican , who appears to have been standing near at the time . Fatal Accident ox the Midland _Railwat . —On Friday a fatal accident occurred at the Matchley station of the Midland Railway , near Leeds . One of the workmen , a bricklayer , waa crossing the line with a plank on his shoulder , when , unperceived by him , one of the fast trains from Manchester came up , and the buffer of the engine struck the poor fellow , and threw him to a distance of about twenty yards . The engine was immediately stopped , and the unfortunate man picked up , but life was quite extinct ,

- MONDAY . _Cojifessios or Coram SrHKrara . —In another column will be found an article from the _Auosbunr _fasete _, entitled , " State of Parties in England , " and which win be read with no small exultation by the Chartistbody , andwith no small dismay by those who flattered themselves that Chartism was dead Repeal or the Corn Laws . —The protectionists / as we predicted , are coming out like good ' uns , and , as we assured our readers , are determined not to allow their properties to be divided amongst the Leaguers without a shy for it . b State of Trade—The promised buoyancy anticipated from a repeal of the Cora Laws has made the Manchester papers frightened at the _immensitv of speculation , and actually recommend " short tiine " as the only means of checking the overproduction which is likely to constitute a " drue . " We are
boldly told that the markets of India and China are already overstocked . The wool trade of Bradford and elsewhere is in a drooping condition , and the holders are speculating . upon the " great fact" as the means of existence . Lhe Leeds people are taking stock at Christmas , which , together with the boisterous state ° _1 _£ _™ _fc '_ i 8 assi gned as a _«»• ¦ _•<» f « long faces at the Cloth-Hall . & The Corn Tau > E .-From all parts of the country we have tearful intimation of the effect produced by the shadow of the repeal of the Corn Laws , in the decline of prices , and the poor farmers are beginning in the eleventh hour to make up for lost time .
moset Market . —The jobbers are again looking blue ; every thing having a tendency downward , and confidence cannot be restored in the share market until the fate of the several lines to be submitted to Parliament is decided . _Bohbery . —On Saturday last her Majesty received deputations from the Corporations of the Cities of London and Dublin , praying for food for the poor . The deputations were received in grand style , and after the bobbery was completed , the following mump iery commenced , and we give it precisely as we find it in the Court Circular , as Ave could not by possibility present it in more ridiculous or laughable terms : —
The Queen afterwards held an investiture of the Most Hon . Military Order of the Bath . The Knights Grand Crosses having been robed by Mr . Hunter and Mr . Ede in their mantles , and wealing their collars , passed into the Chapter-room , There were present , his Royal Highness Prince Albert , Acting Great Master of the Order , Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington , Admiral Sir George Cockburn , Admiral Sir Edward _Codrington , Admiral Sir Thomas Byam Martin , and General Lord Aylmer . Her Majesty wore the mantle and collar of the Order . The officers of the Order wore tlieir mantles and carried their respective badges . There were present . Algernon Grerille , Esq ., Bath King of Arms , and Albert William Woods , Esq . ( Lancaster Herald ) , Gentleman Usher .
The Earl of Liverpool was introduced between Sir Thomas B . Martin and Lord Aylmer , tbe two Junior Knights Grand Crosses present , preceded by Bath King of Arms and the Gentleman Usher , the former carrying tbe ensigns of tbe Bath en a crimson velvet cushion . His Lordship was conducted to the Sovereign . The Earl of Liverpool knelt near the Queen , and the Sword of State , borne by Sir William Martins , Gentleman Usher being handed to her Majesty by the _Vice-Chamberlain , the Queen was most graciously pleased to confer tbe honour of knighthood upon tbe noble earl therewith . Bath King of Arms , on his knee , presented to the Queen the riband and badge of the order , nnd her Majesty , assisted by Prince Albert , Acting Great Master of tbe Order , were graciously pleased to place the same over the right shoulder ofhis lordship . The Queen also presented the noble earl with the Star ofa ( Civil ) Knight Grand Cross ofthe Bath .
The Earl of Liverpool , rising , had the honour to kiss her Majesty ' s hand . The Knights Grand Crosses and Officers of tbe Order then retired from the presence of the Sovereign . Previous to the Court , the Hon . Mr . Forbes was presented to the Queen by tbe Vice-Chamberlain , on his appointment as one of her Majesty ' s Pages of Honour . - Tbe Court was attended by Lord Rivers , Lord in Waiting ; Colonel Berkeley Drummond , Groom in Waiting ; Major-General Wemyss , Equerry in Waiting ; Colonel Bouverie , Equerry to Prince Albert ; the Groom of the Robes , and Mr . James Bunce Curling , Adjutant of thc Corps of Gentlemen . at-Arms . The Yeoman of the Guard in the Coronation costume lined the grand staircase and ante-room . Sir Samuel Hancock , thc Exon in Waiting , and Mr . Ellerthorp , the Adjutant , attended .
A Guard of Honour of the Grenadier Guards , with the hand of theregiment , was on duty in the Grand Quadrangle ofthe Castle . After the Court the Duke of Wellington left the Castle in his travelling carriage . Sir Robert Peel , the Duke of Buccleugh _, Sir James Graham , the Right Hon . W . E . Gladstone , Lord Granville Somerset , the Earl of Lincoln , _theRfcht Hon . Sidney Herbert , and the Earl of Dalhousie left the Castle at twenty minutes before four o ' clock for the Slough station of the Great Western Railway , and { returned to town by a spatial train . Mubdkr . —This day two unfortunate creatures , a man and woman , were sacrificed to that system which makes thieves and murderers . An account of their melancholy exit will be read in our columns , and we hope that the time is not far distant when the chronicling of such barbarous exhibitions will cease to be matter of speculation to the newspaper press .
ikeland . The only news from Ireland of importance is the fact that the Liberator has succeeded in having Patrick O'Higgins held to hail to stand his trial for sedition „ and the Freeman ' s Journal , and the other liberal papers refusing to publish the document upon which the charge is grounded , for no earthly reason but its simplicity . If it was published , the whole sting would be taken out of the charge , and nothing but the gall of the Conciliation patriots would remain .
Oh , Dan , Dan , Dan , you began your career as a spy and end it as an informer . Don't you think the honest Irish people , who hate an informer as they hate the devil himself , will learn to hate you , and don't you think tbat the honest Irishmen , when you come to England , will holloa Padd y O'Higgins instead of Paddy _M'Cue in your ear . Ah , in sober sad ___ ess , Dan , and all bantering apart , it was a mean , rascally , paltry trick to accuse the detective force of the authorship of a placard , knowing in your heart that your object was to saddle it upon O'Higgins , first having stamped it with an atrocious character . Dan , why don't you indict the proprietor of the Nortiiern Star , asit was published twice in that paper . Our friend , O'Higgins , need fear nothing from the burking of the Irish Liberal press , as , if necessary , we will give a supplement or a double supplement with the Star , containing every tittle of the trial .
TUESDAY . The Corn Laws . —The Times and the _bull-frogs are nobly vieing forthe fool ' s cap , the protectionists talking rabid nonsense , and the Times writing unmitigated rubbish ; in fact , since our friend ' s engagement with his new master he reminds us of all servants in the same situation , making up for want of knowledge by officiousness , over activity and splash . We could really wish to make a hash for our contemporary out ofhis own cold meat , but the stock in the larder is so immense that we know not where to begin . Suffice it to say that thc Times , for the twentieth time , hasbeen sold for a job , and is doing its work
With all the fervency ofa renegade ; The manner in which Homer , Virgil , the gods ? goddesses , angels , monsters , hell and vultures , are introduced into free trade " stuff , " is very amusing , while the wholesale dealing with the Quarterly , the Richmonds , the Worste _ds , and the whole stock of farmers , is chaste , classical , and refined ; in short , just such a grunt as we should expect from such a pig—and the adage says , " what can you expect from a pig but a grunt . " The Hevesbe . — The prosperous state of the revenue has had the effect of creating confidence on 'Change , securities are looking up a bit , and money is expected to be more easy . WE HOPE to find it so , for we have ; foundit tarnation hard to catch it at all of late . We do not , however , see quite so much to congratulate the country upon , as the mere money scribblers do . In every department where such an increase appears as smothers the horror of the general
decrease , we see faction , at the bottom of which is the big fiction , railway gambling . We sec an increase of nearly two hundred thousand pounds in the stamp department alone , within the last quarter , and forty thousand in the Post-office department ; and if we could take stock of legal expenses , plunder of servants , and other railway pit-kings and dividings for the next quarter , we might estimate it lowly at live millions of money ; but Government onl y takes notice of its own share , leaving the POOR lawyers , directors , eug'neers , surveyors , and others to state their own grievances . The principal rise then for the quarter is in the Exeise , Stamps , Taxes , and Post-office , everyone , and all , fictions based upen the great fiction , railways . But the misfortune is , that if we had a windfall of ten millions in this or any other quarter , we should have the young birds from the aristocratic nest gaping aBd squalling for twelve millions , and insisting upon some means being devised for making it permanent instead of casual .
J . HE " Times' " Commissioner anu the Liberator . —The mission of Mr . Foster to Ireland , from which we anticipated so much good , has resulted in what we now believe to have been the real object—a , personal squabble between the Times newspaper and Mr . O'Connell . It is the misfortune of Ireland thai every profession on her behalf ends in _nlua-der e , ne way or the other . Mr . Foster , an English _special pleader , cares just as much about Ireland a ? , the devil cam about holy water . However , with _a 1 that indifference he might have made his visi _' t beneficial , had not the cloven foot of party , and the finger of personal animosity , peeped through the ., guise of affection for Ireland . No doubt can now remain that the whole of Mr . Foster ' s tour till he ar rjved at Cahirci-* f een was a mere preparatory lcconr itre for the grand attack , and as just arbitrators ap j disinterested umpires between the belligerents , and having read the
- Monday. Cojifessios Or Coram Srhkrara....
long and paltry stuff printed and spoken on both sides , we unhesitatingly give it as our judgment that Foster has eternally damned himself as a commissioner , and has healed where he intended to wound . When he generalized we backed him from our own knowledge , but as a special pleader , having failed in his proofe , he has really shaken the authority upon which we based our opinions . It is a very melancholy thing that _thepms cannot bc virtuous—that it annot even attempt a public service without descending to personal controversy . Foster has done more for the Liberator in a month , than the Liberator could have done for himself in thc whole of his life . We think thc sooner " our © ws commissioner" cuts his lucky , and returns to his fatherland the better . He has tarnished the laurels he gained . He went out a great man and comes back a great fool .
im Murders . —The morning papers have a lengthy account of the two murders committed by Mr . __ Calcraft yesterday . We regret that tlie base fashion of the newspaper press compels us to chronicle them as matter interesting to the reader , and , therefore , they will be found at full length in another part of our paper . Court _Cibcbmh . —His Royal Highness Prince Albert had capital sport yesterday on the Flemish farm , which owes £ 230 to the _landlord in fee-the poor of Windsor . By a mistake , in one of the morning papers he is reported as having shot so many peasants , we presume it was a mistake for pheasants , but perhaps not , as the oldadaee savs . "You mav
as well kill a man as frighten his life out , " and tliere is no better way offrightening his life out than starving him to death . The little dears took their accustomed airings yesterday , and we are credibly informed that her Majesty has given directions for the erection of a small cotton mill , under the superintendenceof the Poor Law Commissioners , where the royal infants will , at the proper age of ten , be allowed to work six and a half hours a-day . We understand that the royal waiting-maids , grooms , and scullions had all their traps packed up for a start , and were thrown into ecstacies of delight when they heard that her Majesty had declared tliat little John , who had offered himself as steward to the household , was sot SIROXG EXOUOH FOR THE M . ACE .
_Piracn . —At thc commencement ofthe New Year we have again to recommend our inestimable coteniporarj * and unrivalled artist to public favour . Every print in Punch is an essay which a word would spoil , a sentence damn . Every man , woman , and child should see Punch . It is reading made easy , and the only alteration that we could possibly suggest to the conductors of this unrivalled journal is , the necessity of assuming a higher position in the menagerie than toady to the Times , echo of the Thunderer . It ia really a pity that such a giant print should mar its greatness by fiddling to the Times . It has quite character and talent enough to stand alone .
IBBUND . _COBDEJ . ASD TIIE BELFAST _FllEE TRADERS . —It _appeai-s that Cobden is to be invited to a grand free-trade entertainment at Belfast . Quere—the Nordiem Whig , that announces the intelligence , has omitted all mention ofthe fiddle . Won't Cobden take friend Bright with him ? Mob Fi »* . —Thursday last the inauguration ofthe new Mayor of Limerick took place , and the old official , Dr . " William Geary , went out , and theboysgave him a taste of their quality as described in the following pithy paragraph , which we transcribe at full length for the amusement of our readers : —
" On entering the _council-chamber , " says the Limerick Chronicle , " the outgoing mayor was saluted with groans and hisses , while Alderman Ryan , his successor , was loudly cheered . The excited crowd kept yelling and shouting without cessation , applying the most opprobrious epithets to the outgoing mayor , designating him a traitor , an Orange Catholic , a sleeveen , a pill-box , a betrayer . We would not insult our renders by particularising some ofthe scandalous language indulged in by the rabble assembly that packed the room . There were loud cries of 'Turn out Geary ; take the chain oif him and give it to the new mayor ; ' beside threatening expressions , which were drowned in the uproar and confusion tbat prevailed . In this state of disgraceful disorder Mr . Kaleigh _, townclerk , announced that the floor was giving way under the
rioters , the rafters having nearly separated from the main wall . He requested that they would clear out , else the lives of all present were in danger ; but , regardless of the consequences , tbey remained , and positively refused to leave the apartment . The Itev . Mr . Quin , having inspected the ceiling underneath , also represented the danger to wliich they were exposed , but in vain did he exhort them to withdraw . In this state of consternation , tbe _outgoing mayor proclaimed an adjournment to the Court-house , upon which the rush down stairs was frightful , several persons having been hurled from top to bottom . The outer gate ofthe court was forced open by the crowd , who took possession of every available position within . With great difficulty the old and newmayors , Mr . W . Roche , justice of the peace , the town-clerk , treasurer ,
and a few members of the council obtained a place on the bench . Here the scene baffled description—both galleries being crowded to excess , there was a cry of ' They are giving way , ' which warning was not unfounded , as tbey were really projecting from the walls . Some clung to the window frames , while others leaped over the gallery , and injured tbose in the body of thc court beneath . Thus circumstanced , the town . clcrk produced the official declaration , which was signed by Alderman Kyan , and- the oath of office was administered by Mr . Roche , when the old Mayor took the gold chain from bis neck , placed it around that of his successor , handed him the wand , and shook him warmly by the hand amidst deafening applause . Mr . William Roche rese to make a
few observations , but it was impossible to catch what he said . The new Mayor also addressed the assemblage , acknowledging the high honour conferred upon him , and promising to leave nothing undone to promote the happiness and comfort of his fellow . citizens . The ceremony having concluded , the court was soon cleared , but the mob , not content with tlieir gross affronts to the old Mayor , again assailed him with shouts of disapprobation on passing on to the Exchange , whither he was followed , and they even attempted personal violence to him . Shortly after Alderman Geary , surrounded by a few friends , proceeded home , a mob yelling at him all the way in the streets . The new Mayor was escorted to his residence by the Temperance bands and a crowd of Repealers . "
The Corporation of Dublin . —In our yesterday ' s summary we announced the fact of the Dublin Corporation having presented an address to the Queen on Saturday , but we were not then aware of tlte best of the joke . It appears that a grand entertainment was provided in the . Waterloo Banqueting Room , for the two corporations , but the Londoners being rather late were summoned to the Throne Room just as they got a giimpseof the " goodies . " The Paddies were a little late in consequence of the restiveness of one of ttie omnibus horses , on the box of which was seated the Lord Mayor of Dublin and his swordbearer Tom Arkins . The consequence was that the Dublin " coves" remained tucking in while the Londoners , after performing their loyalty , were ushered
out at another entrance . We have received various reports of this banquet , some informing us that Tom Arkins and Reynolds asked the servants in waiting what those round things ( potatoes ) were ? and upon being told , replied that it was a damned shame to take their jackets off this cold weather—the mayor said they were Jerusalem artichokes . After the gorge our correspondent says that he heard the Lord Mayor ' s chaplain asking one ofthe servants slyly , if he had ' nt such a thing as some " putteen" and hot water . Reynolds , to be more English , asked boldly for some POTTEEN , when , to the great amusement of thc Paddies , the servant , mistaking the order and not knowing what potteen meant , actually brought in a
certain _UTLiVSIL , asking , " Is this what you called for , sir ? " Our correspondent proceeds to say that the whole corporation walked any tiling but straightforward to the throne , her Majesty observing to Prince Albert , " What frisky fellows these Irish are !" The word potatoe appearing in several parts of the address , there was a long discussion it . the Banquet Room , as to whether it should be pronounced " Potatoe , " " Tato , " Tatie , " or "Pratie "—some expressing a wish that the word should be omitted altogether , and the words "THAT ROOT UPON WHICH THE IRISH PRINCIPALLY LIVE " substituted . Report says that tlic Mayor of Dublin bit the Queen ' s hand when presented to him to kiss .
Foreign . —There is little of interest from abroad beyond what we publish in the proper place , except the demand of the French Minister of Marine for a grant of four millions sterling to be applied to the increase of the steam navy of France , and the great delight of the Ministerialists , in the hope of being able to preserve their places through the session . The Oregon , however , or , rather , the non-intervention declaration of President Polk , lias acted like a bombshell in the camp of European crowned heada , and , after all , we expect that American aft ' airs will constitute a more important item in the royal _speech than the state of " & ikg Prakb " himself . We are curious to learn the terms in whieh her Majesty will announce the kindly assurances of that greatest of all monarchs . If we were inclined for a spec ,, we would back 1113 . rotten _mamsiy at long odds against all their _niaieaties .
WEDNESDAY . The Co 8 » Laths . —The Times is still doing the work of _^ ile new broom fov its masters , although it is this manning obliged to descend from even tho semblance- o £ argument , to a bit of high-flown sympathy . Meeiings of a handful of poor agricultural labourers arfeBuignifiedinto the gatherings ot thousands . They are turnisheil with poetry , eloquence , and _enthusisjm , but argument being a thing not at tho _command of tho Thunderer , there is a great lack of tliat commodity . A meeting which took place in Wiltshire ,
of agricultural labourers , by moon and _torchlight , i _* honoured with a three-column notice , a portion of it is actually chronicled in leader type , r _^ i letters are _fascinatingly fabricated in provincial dialect and sent to the chairman by thc League or tne Times . One is signed " your aflicted and humbcj servent , " another " * A Laborer . " Upon the wham it is disgusting to reflect upon the mean and sordid use to which the Times newspaper would now turn tiic agricultural labourers . It would ntako them niero machinery to earn its own base bite from tho League ; but thc agricultural labourers , like the _fvieuds of the "Sen
- Monday. Cojifessios Or Coram Srhkrara....
Hours' Bill , will soon lose the countenance of the Thunderer , when the Times shall have discovered their intention to have a little _thunm-R on their own account . The Times wonld make all its agricultural protegees politicians and philosophers , while the sayings ofsix hundred shrewd philosophers , met at Manchester to advocate the Ten Hours' Bill IN THEIR OWN WAY , was not worth y of passing comment . When will the people cease being used as tools by vagabonds ? _Lon » _Morpetu and _inE Ten Hours Bill . —On its being known that Lord Morpeth was once more likely to constitute the 638 th part of the British Empire , the members of the Short Time Committees of the West Riding of Yorkshire waited upon his lordship to canvass his support in Parliament , in . favour of their objects , aud we give his lordship ' s rep ly in full , asa political gem : —
wan sioarETH's _replv . Castle Howard , Jan . 3 , 1846 . Gentlemen—I have been favoured with the memorial of the delegates ofthe Short Time Committees ofthe West-Riding of Yorkshire . I willingly promise to them the sympath y ' jthey request with so much propriety aniS forbearance of language , for the whole body which they represent , and for their condition in life . If I now re-enter Parliament , after the long interval * of absence from its deliberations , and without having had the many important questions connected with
factory labour specially brought under my notice , I must reserve to myself entire freedom to deal with the propositions which may be submitted for adoption ; but I shall bring to their consideration a _keon feeling forthe wants and wishes ofthe working classes , and a resolute determination to do my whole duty towards them . I hare the honour to be , Gentlemen , Your most faithful servant , Morpeth , The Delegates ofthe Short Time Committees ofthe West-RidiiiT .
This gracious tender of his lordship ' s sympathy , coupled with his cavtious reserve with respuct to his vote , reminds us of two Irish anecdotes which we will now relate . A poor Irish labourer who had been ejected by a tyrant landlord , resolved upon try ing his fortune in America , and having scraped together within one pound of the passage money , he made application to the priest of the parish to make up the deficiency . "Yur rev ' rence , I ' m going to cross the water , I ' m for Americy . " " Well , good
luck to you , Paddy . " * * Well , but yur rev rence _, I ' m thirty years in your parish now , and I hope yur revrence will give me a cracter . " "Oh , then indeed I'll do ihat , Paddy , for you were always an honest man . " " Then I thank yur rev ' rence , but I always expected that from you , but sure I ' m a pound short , and I hope yur rev ' rence will lind it to me ? " " Indeed then , Paddy , 1 haven't a pound . " " Wisha' then , God bless us , the times is hard to be sure , but what'll I do at all at all ? But may be yur rev ' rence will have tin shillings to spare ?"
"Indeedthen I haven t , nor five , nor tliree , nor two . " " Wisha , God be praised , but that ' s a hard thing , but I must try the neighbours , but may be yur rev ' - rence would give me a shilling to drink your health on the road ?" " Paddy , I don't like _drinking , its a bad thing . " " Oh ! wisha , God help us ; it ' s a bad world for the poor . May be your rev ' rence would give me a penny for a smoke ?" " Indeed , then , I haven't a penny . "
" Wisha , but that ' s a queer thing entirely . Well , I'll be going , anyhow , and may be your rev ' rence would give me your blessing ?" " Oh , I'll do that for you , Paddy . " " No , nor the devil a bit of it I'll have , now ; if it was worth a penny you wouldn't give it me , so you may keep that with the rest . " That ' s one story ; now forthe next . The Honourable Carew _O'Grady , brother of the late Lord _Gillaraore was very anxious to represent the County of Cork in Parliament , and just before the election of 1834 , he called upon Mr . O'Connor , at the Imperial Hotel , and said : " O'Connor , I ' ve been thinkingthat the County of Cork is represented by a nightingale and a cuckoo ; and I think this great county should
have two nightingales . You can take me in with you as you did little Barry . " Mr . O'Connor replied : " My dear fellow , nothing would give me greater pleasure than to hear your sweet notes in thc big cage ; but really I never asked for a vote for myself , and you must excuse me exercising any influence for others ; but there ' s my friend , Mr . O'Reardon , the man of the people , the most popular orator in the county , sitting atthe lire—I'll introduce you to him , and canvas him for yourself . " Upon being introduced , Mr . O'Grady said : " Well , Mr . O'Reardon , I ' m delighted to make your acquaintance . I ' ve been just telling our friend O'Connor , that the County of Cork ought to have _twoni-jhtingales _. and ill can have
your vote and interest atthe next election , I'll stand for the County . " " I declare to God , Mr . O'Grady , " said the man of the people , " my heart and soul is with you , but I promised my vote to Mr . Barry . " " Oh : D—n your heart and soul ; give them to Mr . Barry , and give me your vote . " Now we would recommend the Short Time Committee , when they next see his lordship , to say , " Oh ! D—n your sympathy , keep that FOR THE POOR , and give us YOUR VOTE . " Mone y Market . —Notwithstanding the flattering prospect presented by the revenue the funds ate looking down , and the share market is even flatter than it was , so that in point of i ' act the thing looks blue on all hands .
Prince Albert and the Paupers of Winosor . — By a report which will be found _elsewhero of a communication that has taken place between Prince Albert ' s secretary and the authorities of Windsor , it will bc seen that Sir Frederick Thesiger , Prince Albert ' _Attorney-General _, and Sir Thomas Wilde , Prince Albert ' s first cousin by marriage , have given it as their opinion , that the paupers of Windsor have no claim upon Flemish Farm , held by his Royal Highness , because his Royal Highness holds it under the Crown , and has not a beneficial interest in it . Now we will back our opinion against Prince Albert's cousin and his Attorney-General , and we assert that the Crown holds the land under the paupers who are landlords in chief , and that Prince
Albert holds it under the Crown as lessee of the paupers , and we warn his Royal Highness how he raises the question of title , because we tell him that no statute of limitation that me law can affix will operate against the right of thc people . As to the beneficial interest , if his Royal Highness thinks proper to devote the farm to the feeding of game for his amusement , he has a beneficial interest in it , and if not , he bad better surrender it to the paupers , who will soon find a beneficial interest and a better tenant . Thc worst of the case is , that not only will the paupers lose their £ 230 , but the cormorants ot tho law will swallow up the remainder ofthe rates in looking for it . Prince Albert had better go back to
Germany if lie is not satisfied with the fat of the land , and about - £ 50 , 000 a year in salaries and pickings . He really was a well-conditioned , unintefeving young gentleman , a kind of chip in porridge , and we regret that he should have lost this valuable negative distinction by relying upon dear law as a means ol " despoiling the poor of tl * cir rights . Court Circular . — Noble Candlestick . —Tbe Queen and Prince Albert inspected this morning , at the Castle , an elaborately executed candelabrum , and plateau for Mr . Matthew _Uaelli , of the Orleans aad Vierzon Railway , which were submitted by Messrs . Mortimer and Hunt . Her Majesty and the- Plrince were p leased to express their approbation .
_IRELAND . Mr . Dully , proprietor of the Nation newspaper , is himself about to have a taste of the Atiorney Gencral ' s quality for what is called a seditious libel published in the Nation newspaper . We hate political prosecutions of all sorts ,, and yei we are not sorry tliat the press- of Ireland ,, that has lent itself to the hunting down of O'Higgins , _slisuldhave its share of the fun . We are curious tosae whether the Liberator will denounce Dully aa- he denounced _O'liisgins , and _weiusc curious to learn whether the goose will cackle for himself now tliat tha Attorney-General has him ns tue . tau .. The silence of tha . _Yation upon O'Higgins' case was more criminal than the proscoution of it by the .- Attorney-General . 01

Dan regrets that that excellent _gentletaan , Siy _WilUam _Somerville , must be kicked out of ihe representation ofDrogheda , and this sorrowing _oaer _dented Mends is looked upon by fools as patsiotisro _., whereas the fact lies here : —Dan sold the to . _ty-thvee repeal members that were returned in l & _S , anii now he wants a new stock or beasts for thc . _English market . Now this is Dan ' s whole dodge . —A pli . ant member ot Parliament is the best _commoi _* Sty _: \ merchant can traffic in , and Dan is _dctcrmintil to have as largo a stock as possible .
THVPiSDAY . Free Trade . —Tho Times of this morning adds another laurel to the \ rteath in process of manufacture for the agrittuUviral labourers . How stupid wc have been all _< yi \ y lives to liavc supposed that Clodpoles were _ignorant—why , they are all philosophers in their own ' little way , and instead of requiring any tuition it wrM _\& appear that they are fully able to instruct M _* r . Cobden and all the free trade professors , they are . Indeed , mado to speak , and write , and cheer , Md sigh , and groan , and laugh , sympathise , _philtt- opliiso _, and economise in chorus .

- Monday. Cojifessios Or Coram Srhkrara....
the climax by designating free trade as patriotism . All that we shall say is , " From such patriotism Go . d _. Lord deliver ug . " Lord St . Germans was inaugurated . as chief spy . to Sir James Graham , under the title of Postniaster-General , on Saturday last , and upon being ushered through the several offices , crannies , and _psivacibs ; the noble lord , on seeing a tremendous bundle of papers in a certain niche , started , exclaiming , '' Good God , what are all those ! " and upon being told _thaft , ' thcywereiV _ortXmi 5 _toriiewspapevs , heobserved , _> Doi . » ' - ) Sir James Graham know of this ? and does he allow _^ the post office to be made the medium of conveying such a paper ? " He had scarcely spoken the word , when , as we learn from the morning papers , a shower of Stars came flying through the window and nearly buried the official . This fact may be relied upon as we have it from the Times .
Most Horrible . '—Two infants , one fifteen and the other eight years of age , tliat is ninety-six months old—sixty months younger than even the slave drivers think his blood fit for use , were yesterday sentenced to SEVEN YEARS TRANSPORTATION for stealing money and other things . The law that sanctions this should be burned by the common hangman , and the ruin of the system that tolerates it would be cheaply purchased by a national earthquake that would swallow up altogether and leave no trace of such damnability behind . There is a qualification forthe workhouse—it is utter destitution , and the sale or loss of every bit ofthe paupers ' property ; and tliere is also a qualification fo . r ., IiQr"d John Russell ' s Isle of Wight S _' eni _^ _a- _^ _fiifAlroS
reclamation of youth , unless a child is sentenced to transportation he is not qualified for the Whig refuge . It will scarcely be believed that those two infants havebeen before twice convicted of similar offences and no means resorted to for their reclamation . We wonder what one of our law makers would say if one of their children of ninety-six months of age was sentenced to transportation for any offence that could be committed . The Militia . —By an analysis that we give elsewhere , of the several militia regiments , it will be seen that England has sixty-one regiments , and Ireland thirty-eight . We think , like the poor saiior , that if Ireland has her share of the bullets , she should have her share of representation also . She furnishes
more than half the militia , but has not a sixth of the representation in thc House of Commons . When Nelson ' _sship , tho Victory , was upon one occasion brought into action , a sailor knelt at oneof the guns , and began to pray most fervently . The first lieutenant gave him a kick , with a . ' * D—n your eyeswhat are you praying about ? " when Jack answered , " An' please yer honour , I ' m praying that the shots may be divided like the prize money to-day , and that the officers may have their share of it . " Princf . Albert Again !—We learn , this morning , that in addition to the opinion of his Attorney-General , and his cozen his Royal Highness has aiso received the opinion of HIS Solicitor-General , Mr . j Fteoy Kelly , stating that , thc poor have no claim upon his Royal Uighness ' s farm , but tliere is this
curious fact connected with the case which we forgot to state yesterday . His Royal Highness ' s advisershave refused to shew the case submitted for counsel ' s opinion to the authorities of _Windsor . This looks suspicious ; as we would wager a trifle to get any opinion we wished from counsel learned in the law , it" we were to draw up an _cxpiarte case . When Lord Mansfield ' s son was studying the law , he met his father one morning as he came out of his study . " Well , John , my boy , " says the learned lord , " what have you been doing this morning ? " " Whv , father , I have been learning to make right right , aiid wrong wrong . " "Pooh , pooh , " was the reply o his lordship , " go back , and learn to make right wrong , and wiong right , and THEN YOU'LL BE A LAWYER . "
The Latf . Elsction at _Winsdor—During the Christmas week , Col . Reid and Mr . Walter were vicing as to the beat means of securing the puritv of election at the next contest ; both HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN were engaged in clothing the naked and feeding the hungry , but our correspondent announces the curious fact , that NONE BUT ELECTORS were thought worthy of charity . Who wouldn't be an elector at Christmas ? This is the new mode of getting over the stringent laws against bribery . Money Market . —Notwithstanding the flattering state of the revenue , the jobbers find it impossible to keep the thing up , while there is woe in every liouse ; the answer to tradesmen ' s bills invariably being , " I have really been such a sufferer from the Railway Panic that you must excuse me for the present . "
Trade . —Again wc see that the twisters and spinners and cotton lords of all sorts are building upon & roaring free trade , and manufacturing upon speculation . As the poor , who are our clients , are sure to suffer most from the disappointment , we give this early caution to the speculators . We tell them that Sir Robert Peel * will no more propose the repeal of the Corn Laws than he will propose to make a man of the Queen ; and that he will propose a fixed duty that will astonish them , to be annually diminished
until it comes to the most fascinating revenue point , and there to remain j list as long as we please to allow it , and not a minute longer . By the time Parliament meets we hope to be in a situation to send six of our very ablest lecturers into the agricultural districts to recruit for the noble army of Chartists , and we will back our enlistment against Protectionists and ANTI-MONOPOLISTS . What a funny name for fellows that have monopolised everything , and can raise a quarter of a million to establish a money _constituency ?
irkland . Mollt Maouire . —It appears _th" * t her ladyship has prolonged her visit to the Irish metropolis beyond her original intention , and we make no doubt that the government informer and his Conciliation detective force will attempt to connect her ladyship with the placard to wliich we this day affix our name . But all won't do , for we have no more doubt upon our minds than we have of our existence , that the supposed Molly Ma ° uire—that is the metropolitan lady —is one of the O'Connell gang , hired I ' or the purpose of damning O'Higgins ; and let it be understood that we do not offer the insult . to THE ... "MOLLY MAGUIRE by _connecting heir in any way with the metropolitan rascals .
_Forkion . —Ever since M . Guiiot and the Momingy Herald concocted a counter conspiracy against Lieutenant Waghorn , the Timesr and the Trieste route , the "Times is outrageous with France and every thing French , and we should not be at all astonished if the Thunderer should meditate a little squabble between the two countries k- revenge . The French budget , which appears highly _satisfactory to bs , is very distasteful to our contemporary . In fact ,, until Lieutenant Waghorn and the Times- can beat M . Guizot and the Herald in the race , for early news , wc shall have no peace in Europe .
