^ xjons to make all circumstances conduce to the fcdlit&iion of the means necessary for ensuring it jknugh tire latter medium . The greatest step to * jrsrfc this which has be « n yet taken , is the unseat' u % of the Whig 3- Whipped from the mess , the hun w 0 ] Tes vriii howl most raTenously ; and thcngh BrssEii and a few others similarly gorged with Church and people plunder , may prefer political extin ction to the chances attendant on the recognition of right principles , there are not a few , on whose backs the hair grows more thinly , who will be ready enough to swallow pledges of any character , trusting to the chapter of accidents , to furnish excuse s for & «* violation . To make these the
nBwiHicg instruments in the accomplishment of Vheir » wn professed intentions , we must have thirty oi forty thorpjjgh-going Chartist Members in the next House ; " " more than that we may have , if flje people do their duty , and the dissolution comes not too hastily on us ; and these will go hold the balance of the nation ' s power as to mike the nation ' s will to be respected jjj jjg olrn House . For the procuring of thi 3 band of reterxns to b&ctle -with the factions , eTery means DK = t be instantly pat , and incessantly kept , in operation , to comicce the ten-pounders that their holding of the franchise is a trcst , and that their personal interest will be best serTed by the honest
and faithful discharge of that trust . Let bet ihs people learn to know their friends jjid to avoid their enemies , and they hare done Buch towards the attainment of their object . Koihing ) howerer , is well done , in whicn anything trhich might bare been done is left undone . The people must not only Bee to the exercising of their jost influence over the ten-pound voters now on jkg register , but they must see that the law b e mace to do every thing for which faction has not utterly incapacitated it towards
theii own enfranchisement . The next register must fciTe upon i ; every thorough-going Chartist , who by jay fair construction can succeed in preventing the fictions and their paid agents from depriving him of the power to vote . We must have done with all fastidiousness about " rates" and " shilling" paying . p * j anything ; submit to everything to get on the register , and so to obtain the means of fighting the people ' s foes whh their own weapons . As useful and necessary instructions for this purpose , we have copied the following from a cotemporary , and recommend it to the attention of our readers : —
" HOW 10 EXTESD IHZ SUFFRAGE . " Every person , who is in the occupation of sny house , warehouse , counting-house , shop , workshop , stable , shed , or other building , -worth £ 10 per year , is entitled to be on the register of voters for the city or borough in * -hkh it is situate , it he has been in occupation of jaea premises from the 31 st of July last ( 1 S 4 C ) , or in jever&l such premises in succession , in the same city or borough . " It is necessary that it « hould be clearly understood ¦ what the revising barristers hold to be ' Houses , ¦ war ehouses , counting-houses , shops , and other buildings , " which are as follows , viz : — " ' Uouk . —A house is a separate dwelling , approached dt & door from the open air . '
"Any person therefore occupying apartments , and laving con trod over the outer door , is held to be a holier , alth # n ? h he may allow others the use of such door . As tome misunderstanding has existed on this subject , it jhonld therefere be particularly obserred that the possession of a separate door is only necessary for those -who eliim for a house , * ad not necessary for the occupiers of ¦ w arehouses , counting-houses , shops , 4 c " Warehouse . —A warehouse is a store-room for merchandise or goods used in trade . " ' ' " Cotmiiag-iiouse . —A connting-house is a room in which s person in trade keeps his books ajad accounts , Th&ther it be a separate building , o . - only a room in a house for that purpose . " *
' " Shop , —A shop is a place for the sale of goods , oi » room in which manufactures are carried on , as a ¦ workshop , which may be either a detached place , or a room In a house used as such : bo that a tailor , shoemaker , 4 c , holding an apartment oi apartments , and working in one room worth 4 . 3 . per week is entitled to be on the register . " ' ' * ' Other Buildings . —May be a stable , shed , storefecTise , stall , BepaxateTDuilaing useS as an office or school , hot-house , coir-house , " ' < £ c " Any person , therefore , occupying any such premises as above described , worth is . per wetk , and not Bled for them ., should immediately claim to be nitfed , as the Helena Act requires all persons either to be ated or to have claimed to be rated .
" The overseers do not alwajs consider it necessary to * lter the rating nhere the landlord pays the rates , more especially for shops , &c , being part of houses ; but a toe party claiming should be rated , he can deduct the amouat from his rent " So form of claim to be rated is absolutely necessary , & verbal application to an overseer being sufficient ; bet the following may be adopted : —
X CLAIM TO BE RATED . " lo the OFerseers of the pariah of " I hereby give you notice , that 1 oeenpy a at So . , in street in your parish , and I claim to be rated to the relief of the poor in respect of such premises , in order that I may fee entitled to vote in the election of Members of Parliament for the city of Westminster . Dated this day of 1 * 4 I Signed ) of " Irjtru&ioKs . —Insert the name of the parish , wad the nature of the premises , as house , warehouse ,
countmg-hoass , shop , workshop , stable , shed , or as the caae nay be ; and the name of the street , court , &C- ; put in the data , sad sign the names of the claimant , and his place of residence , at full length . Give this claim to an overseer , and carefully preserve a correct copy ; the person "who serves the riRini should immediately write on the copy to whom the claim was delivered , and the day of the month . If any poor ' s rate be due in respect of the premises occupied by the claimant , tender the amount . If ' omWe&from the lisi of voters on Die 3 W . or Jnly , claim to be rejis : ered on or bt / oie He -2 bih of Aajvsi .
" In those parishes -where there have been but oce rate made since the 31 st July last 1 * 40 , a 3 in St . John , St . Margaret , St . George , aid Sr .

Thx Distant Agents ihould say immediately the vay their Plates are to be tent . Those near can have theirs by calling at the office during next week , or by saying how they are to be forwarded . various Poetical Favouks are declined . "W . H . Cbosis . —// he will send his exact address , ice will communicate with him on the means of conveying his " strange intelligence" to ( he proper quarter . A . C . —His song must stand over for awhile . W . Cla . rk& , Jus . — He are sorry not to have his approbation , but cannot help it ; we think he takes a ice rtsiricUd view of the subject . We have no doubt there are some individual localities in which , at the late elections , the Ballot might hive served , to some extent , the people ' s cause ; that , however , U not the question . The question is , whether it would not , as a general practice , militate against us in the present stale of the ' franchise—and we are decidedly of opinion thai it would .
B . Stott . —We think his present song not so good as his former one . A Membke of the Wesletan Society sends us a letter to the Wesfeyan Methodists of Manchester , from which we give the following : — " / wish our ministers minutely lo examine Mr . O'Connor ' s letters to the Irish landlords , especially that in the Northern Star of July ' 2 iih . Now , what I wish is , that every preacher of our society ( especially the present conference ) would examine that letter , and either plainly and candidly refute , and point out its errors ( if there are anyj , or otherwise candidly embrace ^ and use all their influence to accomplish its object . In my opinion , it points out a full , complete , and
only remedy for our present temporal national calamities . And this I do , and must , and will believe , till I see it fairly refuted . I wish all the ministers of Christ either to point out Mr . O'Connor ' s errors , or otherwise to embrace them as important truths , and use all the means in theirpo'cer to accomplish the same . And I beg respectfully te tell them , that if they intend to be made extensively useful to the souls of men , they must now begin by manifesting far more regard than they have done for their poor , pined , naked , backs , bellies , houses and bodies . Indeed , the best tray of doing good to men ' s souls is to " heap coali of melting love upon their heads , " by doing good to their bodks . Brethren , some of
you have read Mr . O'Connor ' s letter : I advise you all to read it : and as you have a majority of our preachers among you at present , put it into their hands , and ajJc their candid opinion upon the same . " H . Ckosix , of Xewport , has written us a long letter in contradiction lo the statements contained in the letter of Wm . Edwards , inserted in our last paper . Mr . Oronin denies that Mr . Edwards was proposed at all as a fit and proper person to bring the principles of the Charier before the public—such motion never being put at all ; but , on the contrary , the meeting were unanimous in favour of Dr . Price , —it being , however , understood that in the event of Dr .
Price declining to come forward , Mr . Edwards was then to be i ? ivl ! ed . Mr . Cronin asserts positively , tluit Mr . Edwards did promise , not only to support the Doc ' or ^ but to nominate him at the hustings . J / r . Dickenson , he says , was not asked to support Dr . Price . Mr . C , after some lengthy remarks upon Mr . Edwards ' s conduct , says , addressing him : — " You say , If the Doctor arrived at Monmouth before ihe Court opened , you would net allow yourself to be put in nomination . \ ow , Sir , I ask you , what did you leave Newport for ? itsa il not trith an idea of putting yourself in Jiom . ina . lion 1 I ask you again , what length- of lime the hall was open before I announced lo the people that Dr . Price , the
Chartist candidate , was come ? // you answer true , you wid suy , not twenty mviutes . You know tliere were different applications made to the M-ayor of Monmouth , requesting him to admit Dr . Price as a candidate ; you know I sent in a printed bill to the Mayor , which contained Dr . Price ' s name , giving the Mayor to see that there was a candidate in the field ; but no answer came back . But i , ou were a little more kind when you were applied to , and sent ihe following anstrer : " You must do your own wortc yourselves when t } ie time comes . '' Xoic this prove * the time was not come , though you say the Doctor was not there in time . You then go on to say thai a friend of the Monmouth eke'ors , who was icith
you at the thnc , asked you if you would have yourself put in ncminalion ? to wh < ch you re- , plied , ' t , es , as there was no one else . JS ' otc , mark , there were no Monmouth electors there , with the exception of Mr . Buttery , who accompanied me to the htn . Let Buttery answer this . \ The question was never asked by Buttery , or any ot ? ier , in my hearing , relative to you being put in nomination . I told you , in ihe presence ef Mr . ; Buttery , that Newport decided in favour of Dr . j Price , and that you knew it . You then said you < had nothing to do with the Newport people : that ' it was the M&nmouth people you had to do with . I asked you if you were going to put yourself in \ nomination ! You answered * Yes . ' 1 told you i the doctor was coining , and you were to nominate : hi-m . You said you troud not nominate any . man unless he uere preserJ lo explain our prin- \
dplcs to the peop ' e . 1 then remonstrated with you for your conduct ; when , at last , you con- \ senied to propose him if he came in time . " ! J .

TO THE EDITOB . OP THE SOSIHEBS STAR . Sir , — Could yen prevail upon any of the Chartist leaders to gi ~ e lectures on this subject , we are of opinion the circulation of the Star might be doubled , and the cause strengthened in the same ratio . If those valuable letters of Mr . O'Connor , upon Agriculture , could be pushed into every Irish cabin , we migb . ' - calcu'i a . te upon the assistance of a goodly number of the fritze coats in favour of our principles .
We consider it to be the duty of every man , more especially Irishmen rtsiuin ^ in this country , to send a Star to Ireland , to let the labourers kuow their r . ghts , and knowing them , unite with the workies of this country in demanding Universal Suffrage . Had this plan been adopted before Lowery went to Dublin , he would in all probability have been heard , and instead of groans we should have bad cheers for the Chartists . How can vre expect men to be Chartists who never heard of the Charter ! Our principl- s beiDg founded on universal justice , hare only to "be seen to be at once adopted . But they must be sent into every cottage before we can count on a majority in our Javour . Let every Chartist become a missionary in the good cause by sending a Star , or other democratic paper , and success will mosi undoubtedly attend our efforts . Yours , William Tailor , Howw © od , 2-2 d July , 1841 .

XiEEDS . —Charge of Bapk—On Monday last , William Carter , a decent looking man from Holbeck , was charged with having committed a rape on Anu Bartliffe , an unmarried woman , on Thursday night last . The woman was found oh Hunslet Moor , at eleren o ' clock at night , by a watchman , in a state of exhaustion , and with evident marks of ill-treatment . From the information she gave , the man was taken into custody , but when the ease came to be heard , it appeared that she had been drinking with the man and some others , at a public-house on the Dewabury road , and she not wishing to Bay that she made any resistance , or any outcry , the charge was dismissed . The Brewstkb Sessions . —We are given to understand , that the Brewster Sessions for this borough have been fixed to be held on Monday , the 36 th of August next .
Rewards to Police Officers . —On Friday last , at the weekJy meetiDg of the Watch Committee , a reward of £ 3 was awarded to Sergeant Hepworth , who has been for some time acting as inspector ; and a reward of 30 s . to policeman Sotheran , who is actiDg as sergeant . Fireworks —On Monday evening , Mr . Hadfield , of Sheffield , gave his promised display of fireworks in the yard of the While Cloth Hall . The evening was at first highly favourable , but a threatened shower at near eleven o'clock had the effect of rather curtailing the exhibition . The principal pieces , however , and a very considerable number of minor oses were let off , and these fully sustained Mr . Hadfield ' s previously obtained and well-deserved celebrity . We are sorry the company was not so numerous as it ought to have been to have remunerated the artist .
ScnDEN Death . —On Tuesday evening , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Spink , Black Bull , in Land ' s-lane , before E . C . Hopps , Esq ., on the body of Francis Stubbs , a book-keeper , late in the employ of Mr . Pearson , carrier . He was found dead in bed on Monday , and rumours were spread that he had taken poison . These rumours were set at rest by a past mortem examination , which showed the entire absence of any thing wrong , and proved that he bad died from natural caHses alone , and the jury returned a verdict accordingly . The deceased was 35 years of age .
WOIiVERHAMPTOM . —The working men of this place , have acted with a degree of spirit , and in a manner which must prove to the " education mongers" that they , at least are not without intelligence . They viewed with disgust the conduct of as official named Castle , who , some weeks ago , was charged with an indecent assault upon a young female , and being determined that their sentiments should be known , they got up and presented the following requisition to the constables : — " Gentlemen , —We , the undersigned inhabitant householders of Wolverhampton , hereby respectfully request you to convene a public meeting of our fel-Jow townsmen , to take into consideration the propriety of addressing the commissioners under the Wolverhampton Town Act , upon the subject of the conviction of R . Castle , inspector of police , for an indecent assault upon a young female , named Mary Warner : —

la compliance with this requisition , Mr . R . S . Walker , one of the constables , to his credit be it spoken , convened a meeting , which took place at the public-offise , Wolverhampton , last Tuesday evening . Mr . Wilcock , a working man was called to the chair ; afier which , so numerous was the attendance , an adjournment was made into the open air , where the " workies" showed their majesty . It was uo pelitical meeting , but was called to prove whether society was to be outraged and industry insulted with impunity j and if an official of the tovrn was to ride rougu-ahod over the feelings of the mechanic and the artizan . There were eight resolutions proposed , and carried unanimously , seven or eight thousand stalwart arms and blistered hands being held up for each . The speakers were all of
the working class , but all their names we have not been furnished with ; amongst them , however , were Messrs . Wilcock , Mogg , Manning , and Candy , who did themselves great credit . The principal resolution was to the effect , that if the Town Commissioners do not immediately dismiss Castle , the meeting , as rate-payers , would not pay the townrate ; aad pledging themselves , should any ratepayer be distressed , to support him ih any expence which might be incurred in resisting that rate . Votes of ceusure were passed on the magistrates before whom Castle's case was preferred , and on the proprietor of the Wolverhampton Chronicle ; after which , the meeting having lasted for marly four hours , dispersed , alter a hearty rote of thanks to the chairman , and to Mr . Walker , the constable .
RICHMOND . —An Extraordinary Circumstance —A Cheviot ewe , the property of Mr . Ralph Fenwick , of Guyles , near Richmond , lambed a single lamb on the first week in May last , and after an interval ot" ten weeks , she prodaced another lamb , which she is now suckling , and has quite discarded her former one .
BRADFORD . Female Lecturer . We perceive that a laay named Chapelsmith is to deliver two lectures on Monday and Wednesday evenings , in the Social Institution . She professes to grapple with gigantic evils , and to discuss their remcdie ? . The first lecture is to be " on the present condition of cur country , the Chapter remedies ; progress of machinery and competition ; proofs that our foreign trade is lost never to be restored , and that a change in the arrangements of society is necessary and unavoidable . "'' In the second lecture she proposes to consider the Corn Laws and the National Debt .
Dreadful a . nd Fatal Accjde . nt . —On the night of Thursday week , Mr . Peter Laycock , of this town , spirit-merchant and brewer , was killed under very extraordinary and painful circumstances . Our Bradford readers need not be informed that he had lately built a magnificent building at the topoflvegate , for the sale of spirits , which might justly aspire to be called a giu palace . A large portion of the stone for the building had been quarried out of the site , and the excavation formed into cellars , as deep as the building was high above the ground , viz , three storie ? . Bohind the building thia deep quarry lay uncovered . At the bottom water had been bored for , which ascended into a hole in the bottom two or three yards deep , and filled it with
water . Mr . Laycock had begun to build some rooms on the back part of the dram shop , and had gotten them a little above the ground , and laid a number of deal battens a foot broad , and about an inch and a half in width , edgevray as rafters or supporters for the floor . This floor was covered With planks , and loaded ^ ery imprudently with an immense quantity of stones , &c . On the night in question , Mr . Laycock went upon this floor about six o'clock , with one of the masons to view the work . As he was returning the floor gave way , and he was precipitated to the tremendous depth below into the hole filled with water ; besides beiug followed by the stones on the floor ; the battens in giving way had
twisted sideway , and brought down upon him a large quantity of the newly-built superincumbent wall . Very prompt assistance was obtained , but it was about an hour before the stones could be removed and he could be got out of the water ; of course , we need not say quite dead . It is believed that before he reached the water , he fell with his head against a projection of rock , as it had hair and blood on it , and -would therefore be killed on the spot . He was conveyed home on a door covered with a sheet , and accompanied by hundreds of people . His wife ( a eecond one ) was near Preston at the time , but was sent tor . He has left four children by a former wife . Mo accident that has ^ occurred in this town has caused such a sensation .

HOBFOXJL . —More Blessings op the Basth . es , —A correspondent at Norwich has handed us the following , which he requests may be added to the black catalogue of atrocities perpetrated under the sanction of the Whig-concocted starvation law . The statement is ia the handwriting of the unfortunate victim , who , at the olose of a long and industrious life , unsullied by any other crime than poverty , is doomed by the irresponsibles to worse than death . Our correspondent says : — " William Marjoram , iged seventy-seven years , was ordered by tbe humane Governor of the Swainathorpe Union House , Norfolk , to work in the gravel pit ; being unable to do such work , be withheld from the unfortunate man the tea and sugar allowed to the aged . The case having been referred to the surgeon , he onlered
that he should be allowed it . Marjoram was then ordered to the pump , which work was also too hard for him . He went into the house the 31 st of March last year , and upon inquiry found from his age that he ought to be allowed beer and tobacco , as there were younger men allowed those articles who did not work at all . After enduring thia specimen of Whig mercy for fifteen we * ks , he applied to the Board for beer and tobacca , who informed him that they had nothing to do with it , anrf ; ma he must apply to the Governor and surgeon , tie ^ dld so . They sent word by the nurae there would be no more allowed but to those who then haoV It «; i The-ntfxv morning he refused to go to work , as all the ? wmg men were doing nothing all day long ; hta tea and Bugar were taken from him for thia , and he was left no other drink during the severe winter but cold water .

" Man's inhumanity to man , Makes countless thousands mourn . " OLDHAX / X . —Mr . Hill preached two sermons in Grosvenor street Chapel , Oldham , on Sunday last , to very numerous and attentive congregations . WAKEFIELD . - Railwat Offence . —On Thursday last , a lad named Philip Douse , from Ossett , was oharged at the Police Office , before J . Holdsworth , Esq ., M . P ., with placing a piece of iron called a " chair , ' weighing about 28 bs ., upon the rails of the Manchester and Leeds Railway , near Healey Mill . It appeared from the evidence of a lad named Joseph Holroyd , aged fourteen , that he , along with his younger brother , went with tbe defendant on the previous evening to the railway , and the defendant put the iron on the rails , and
asked witness for some band to tie it ; he did not give him any , but told him to come away , as he was doing wrong . Witness ' s brother , aged thirteen , corroborated thia Btatement . They went away , leaving the iron on the rails . An engine driver deposed that he was going on the up line , when he discovered the iron upon the down line . He immediately stopped the train , and took the iron off . It was fixed as firm as it could be , without being tied . They passed the down train at Cooper Bridge . Mr . Holdsworth , addressing defendant , said it was a most serious and awful offence , and he felt it his duty to punish htm ; he should fine him £ 5 and costs , and in default of payment three months' imprisonment , and he hoped it would be a warning to him and others . The defendant was committed .

MR . R . J . RICHARDSON AND HIS APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC AGAINST THE CHARTISTS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE . to the chartists of south lancashire , and , through them , to the people of the united kingdom . Fellow Labourers in the Cause of Truth AND JUSTICE , —We have seen the Northern Star of July 17 th , in which in a letter , signed R . J . Richardson . In that letter your honesty is questioned , and a foul libel attempted on your character . It is our anxious desire thar even-handed justice be meted out to every man , we , therefore , attended at the Advertiser office , and procured a correct statement of the matter alluded to in Mi . Richardson ' s letter . The facts ot the case are as follows : —The amount of the whole debt brought against Mr . Richardson , on behalf of the Manchester Political Union is £ 16 16 s . 8 d . Mark , out of
thiB sum there were £ S 5 a . paid for printing 1 , 000 reports of the first Kersal Moor Demonstration . This was a private speculation of Mr . Richardson ' s own , and now he brings this debt of his own against you . There is in the account £ 3 for printing 1 , 500 cards of membership for the Manchester Political Union ; these cards were sold at 6 d . each . The amount of the 1 , 500 cards , when sold , and sold they were , is £ 37 10 * . Now , mind the £ 5 5 s . of his own speculation the people have nothing to do with , and deduct the £ 5 5 s . from the , £ 16 16 s . 8 d ., and you have left £ 1111 s . 8 ., and to meet this expense there ought to be £ 37 10 a . ; so that this might be comfortably paid , and a balance of £ 25 18 s . 8 ( 1 . left . Mr . Richardson knows very wall that when he was remonstrated with by the working
men in Newill ' s Buildings , on the unnecessary and extravagant expences he and his party were going to , Mr . Richardson himself replied , " Never mind the money matters ; there is enough of that You get up the people ; we will see that the money is right . " By whose authority , or for for whose benefit , xiote 1 , 000 reports printed ? Where are tbe books of the Union ? Who were the money stewards , auditors , * treasurer , &c ? Where are the minutes of tho Union ? Let tneae things be produced , and we hesitate not to say , but the working men of Manchester and its vicinity will pay every just claim made upon them , when fairly brought forward and clearly proved . The
reading of Mr . Richardson's letter might lead people to believe that be was unjustly treated by the working men of Manchester for his services in the Convention , and that he made great sacrifices by attending that body . The answer to that part of his letter is , that be received £ 5 per week , besides travelling expences ; and , as to him attending the Palace Yard meeting , at his own expence , it is utterly false . The fact is , there was money collected , and bis expences paid to and from London on that occasion ; so that you have a plain statement of facts ; and , if others are required , we assure you they shall be forthcoming . As such you must judge for yourselves .

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —I am rejoiced to inform you , and , through you , the country , that London is shaking off its sleep , and will soon arise " like a giant refreshed . " In spite of the backward-move men , there is a revival of Chartism in London ; the associations in the different localities are being re-organised , and they will , in future , take especial care to avoid the sunken rocks which broke them up before ; in a word , they will be aware of the Lovettites . The leaders in London have libelled the men , to excuse their own supineneas ; but the men are now awakiDg , and will shake off all iutimlJating and treacherous friends " as dew-drops from a lion's mane . "
Bat what I am most rejoiced to tell you is , that the trades are coming out The masons ( all honour to them !) have led the way ; the coppersmiths have followed ; the tailors are likely te be the next , and we shall have all the rest in their turns ; with the exception , perhaps , of the carpenters , as they are most under the benumbing influence of Lovett and Co ., the London torpedos . VVhen the trades are all out , they will carry London , and London will carry the Charter ; if not , the country will without it . We shall soon have a trade wind , and then we shall sail merrily on to the harbour where the full tide of the people will roll in and fill up the measure of content to all . I am also happy to inform you that a Female Cbartiat Association is being formed in London , bo tbat if the men won't lead , the women will , and then see if the men won't follow .
Our greatest perils are among " false brethren ; " we have hard work of it ; but we shall " reap in due time , if we / atn < not . " I am , dear Sir , Your fellow striver in the cause , John Watkins . 9 , Bell-Yard , Temple-Bar , 28 th July , 1840 .

PROM OUR LONDON C # BRESPONDENT . Wednesday Evening , July 28 < h . The utter stagnation in politics , affords to the scribblers of both factions time for speculation , as to the probable isaue of events , whether Sir Robert Peel shall have the reins of Government , or the Whigs , by some desperate coup de main continue to hold office ; indeed , it appears that from Lord Johu ' B city manifesto , that the present Ministers intend to be politely kicked out of officeand are only waiting
, for the foot to be placed to their seat of honour , bo aa to enable them to fall down gently after receiving another quarter ' s pay , the receipt of whioh they are determined to have . Though both parties are shewing that they are hungry and poverty-struck , there la much to hope from the gradual yet sure steps which the friends of Chartism are taking , and the activity which begins to be exhibited here in London , aud which I hope will soon assume a more bold and determined front .

THE WHIG REFORM BILL . No matter who may murmur at the recent triumph of the Tories at the hustings , the Whigs have no right to complain . They had the manufacturing of the Reform Bill , and the effect of the measure has been that in nine years it has given the ToeieB an overwhelming majority . Tbe Whigs , however , do complain , and bitterly complain , but defeat has not improved their understanding . They are compelled to acknowledge that they have been driven disgracefully from many places ¦ where they were heretofore thought omnipotent , but they refuse to admit the true cause of their discomfiture . They are not unpopular—if we are to credit themselves —it is only the people who are apathetic . Had the Reformers who are entitled to tlie franchise registered
their Votes a glorious majority for the Queen and her ministers would have been the sure result . How is this difficulty to be overcome , and Whig ministers , who will do nothing for the country , secured in their occupation of Downing-street ? The Morning Chronicle is ready with a eut-and-dry plan which will doubtless meet with due consideration . The liberal electors , it seems , will not take the trouble of attending at the Registry Courts to seek the right of the suffrage , and the Chronicle recom mends that the wealthy and titled should exert their influence to urge their dependants to come forward , and even contribute to defray the expence of registration . This done , the Chronicle is confident
the Whigs must be restored to office in a very short time . " The battle must be fought at the Registry , " will now be the cry ; but it will quickly die , without ever putting much money in tbe pockets of barristers and attorneys . There are throughout the country millions of disfranchised persons anxious to obtain the suffrage , and from whom it is unjustly withheld . What would tbe Chronicle think of conferring it upon them ? Ah ! here is tbe point that bothers the Whig , and exposes him as a hypocritical and empty pretender . He would make vain professions of liberality ; but is nevertheless as unwilling as the Tory to extend the constitutional privilege of the people . — World , Dublinpaper .

EXTENSIVE FAILURES . Glasgow , July 24 . —A great sensation has been created in the commercial circles in this city , and over the west of Scotland , by an extensive run of bankruptcies which have taken place during tho la ^ t three days amongst the shawl-manufacturers and shawl-merchants of Paisley , We extract a notice of the occurrence from one of the local papers , but , in addition , our correspondent of Glasgow writes that the leading causes of the disasters in business
which have for some time been goiug on in that city have been principally the extensive connections that have been formed with America , the crippling ot trade from tbe embarrassment iu that country , owing , in a special degree , to the restrictive provisions of the British commercial code , which prevent the Americans from meeting their engagements by the transmission of the superabundant grain ou that continent , aa article which was at the time much wanted by the suffering manufacturing population in Scotland .
The embarrassments which have now burst out at Paisley , to the consternation of all whoareacquainted with the town , as we have just stated , took their origin in those of America , in 1837 . Since that time most of those who had been in tho American connexion have been carrying on business under great difficulties ; and in too many instances , we aro ncrry to stato , they have been making goods aud effecting 6 alesmore with the view of meeting former engagements , than with the intention of realising profits . The great object seems to have been with many just to effect sales , that , with a ruu of new bills , at whatever cost they could be obtained , they might turn their hand , and remove those running , as they fell due .
It is almost needless to state , that a necessary consequence of such a system of doing business has been to drive houses with real capital fairly out of trade , or , at least , to make them temporarily suspend their transactions , which to a groat extent , has been the case in that quarter for some time past , and thus a limited and unhealthy market has been left almost entirely in the bands of persevering speculators , whose principal means of existence was the sacrificing of tke property of those who have been so simple as to trust them with it . To such a reckleas length has this practice been
carried on in Paisley , that ia the present run of failures there are several instances of young men , who within these few years were well known to have commenced without capital , and who have now gone down—the lowest of them for upwards of £ 5 , 000 , and some of them for aa much as £ 25 , 000 . The current paper of one shawl merchant in that town , who failed this week , is said to be in one bank no less than £ 50 , 000 , andiu aaother £ 30 , 000 , independent of smaller sums in the other banks ; and a considerable part of the houses in this range of connection whioh has gone to the wall , have paper afloat to the amount of from £ 20 , 000 to £ 40 , 000 .
After these statements it cannot but be obvious that ihe banks are greatly to blame , by their first encouraging speculation in thus discounting to so enormous an amount , and next , as is clearly understood to have been the case , ia suddenly withdrawing their support , regardless of the result , and from no better motive that can be discovered than the whim of those who direot secret affairs in the bankers' parlours . In addition to the circle of failures at Paisley , rumours , which we are afraid are too well founded , are this afternoon afloat , of some extensive failures in this city ( Glasgow ) likewise , which are quite
certain to bring down a great number more . Indeed , such are the surprise and consternation , and sHch is the uncertainty of what houses are really down and what houses have merely suspended payments , combined with the reports against others that are perfectly solvent , that we conceive it unsafe to comment further on these affaira in this communication ; but . as soon as the result is more fully known , we shall not fail to lay it before the public . Neither shall we fail to trace to its source and expose what may appear to be the cause of such an unwholesome and improper state of things , in this or any other commercial country . —Morning Chronicle .

Finding the Body of a Man um > EiTP £ CULiAa Circumstances . —On Monday night last two men , brothers , uamsd Tubbey , were employed to empty ft S rivy used by the workmen in the London Docks , ut the soil of which is outside the dock wall in Pennington-street . In removing a large flig stone which covers tha cesspool , the pickaxe of one passed through some substance floating on the top of the soil , and which tbe men took to be a bundle of raga . On looking at it more closely the men discovered it to be the body of a man , but in so advanced a state of decomposition that not a feature was discernible , andit presented a frightful gpeotaole . It was taken un . and a shell being procured it was removed to the
bone house of the parish of St . John ,. vvappmg ,. to wait the coroner ' 8 inquest . It is impossible irom the construction of the building on the dock aide of the wall that the deceased could have fallen among the soil , and there is little doHbt that he cauie by his death by tumbling into the hole on the Penningtonstreet side two years ago , when the place was last emptied . The deceased , judging from his having an old pair of canvass trousers oa , appears to have been a sailor , but what his age was it would be quite impossible to conjecture . Information of tho circumstance has been forwarded to Mr . Baker , the coroner of the district , in order to an inquest being held on the body .
Release of Mb .. Medhurst from Prison . —This person , whose case has kteiy acquired renewed interest in the eyes of the public in consequence o ;' the erasure of the name of Mr . H . Moreton Dyer from the commission of the peace for the county of Middlesex , was on Saturday last , releasud from his confinement in the House of Correction , Coldbath-fidda , upon an order seut down from the Home-office . It appears that for some time his health has been on the decline , and that since the interference of Mr . Dyer in his affairs the symptoms of an internal disease , the early stages of which had previously manifested themselves , have been greatly aggravated . To such an extent had these symptoms increased that it was fouwd atcessvy to call tor the advice and
assistance of an eminent physician , whose ofnuioa was of a nature to induce the visiting justices of the prison to forward a certificate as to ( he s : ate of the patient to the Marquis of Normanby . Subsequent visits tended to confirm the original impression of the medical attendant as to tho danger of the attack , and further certificates were sent to the Noble Marquis , describing the character of the disease , accompanied with the expression of a conviction , that unless Mr . Medhurst were set at liberty the worst result was to be anticipated . The excitement created in the mind of the prisoner by tho recent proceedings , arising put of the alleged proposition of the ex-magistrate is supposed , to b < s the caU 3 e to which his present condition may be attributed .
Failure of the Totnes akd . Newton Banks . — The utmost consternation , and gloom were spread through this town by the failure of these banks . Many an honest yeoman who came to market comfortable in mind and pocket , went away almost broken-hearted . On Saturday afternoon , and during Monday , tho town was crowded by people , who came in to inquire , in most cases , after , their lost all . It was painful to hear the numerous cries of sudden distress into which hundreds of honest and industrious persons of all classes have been thrown . In many cases this has been rendered more aevere from this being the time the dividends on the funds are paic . —Devonshire Chronicle .
Extraordinary Escape from Prison . —Pltmouth , Sunday , July 25 . —This morning , when Cook , one of the town sergeants , took their breakfasts into a cell where three men were confined , one of them , named Randell , who is under sentence of transportation for fourteen years , snatched the prison keys from Cook ' s hand , and with them inflicted a violent blow on his forehead , which knocked him down and stunned him . He then produced a kuife , and using threats , he stripped off the town-ser&eat ' g trousers , and put them on himself ; be pocketed two sovereigns and twenty-shillings in silver , and Cook ' s watch ; he took a frock- coat i ' rom a fellow-prisoner , and having with cords lashed the town-sergeant on the prison bed , with his lace downwards , lie look »
bundle of spare clothes under his arm , aud made bib escape . It was some time before the police , who are in another part of the building , heard the disturbance . On their reaching the cell they found the other prisoners unfastening the cords trum Cook , who was obliged to be put to bed in his o wn appartment One of the remaining prisoners is called Mar tiu ; he is under sentence of transportation for seven years ; the other is undergoing an imprisonment lor six months . They both declare they were afraid to interfere in consequence of Randeil ' s threats . The escaped convict , ' in the year 1837 , was sent to the
hulks for seven years , for a robbery . Inconsequence of good conduct he was freed aftor four years' imprisonment . He had only beeu at liberty sixteea days when he stole a chequa for £ ' 40 or £ 50 iron * the master of a ship lying uere . Fov thid robbery he was sentenced to fourteen years' transportation at our last assizes , about three wet ks since . He is a uative of Harbury , in Warwickshire , about twentysix years of age , five feet six inches high , stout built , saliow complexion , freckled , oval vitage , dark eyes , and hair and eye-brows light brown . He is a butcher by trade , but assumes tho manners of a sailor . . . ..
