practice to cog our leading article of Saturday for its principal leader of Mondav . and we defy any man who has read the Star of ' Saturday and the iim » of Monday , upon that part of the Minister ' s policy respecting compensation to agriculturists in tna proposed alterations in local taxation and management , to come to any other conclusion than that we are the great schoolmaster , and the Times our ¦ pupil . The Times had four whole days to consider [ the several proposed alterations , and during that ! period laughed at them as insignificant , but , on the fifth , adopted our views , and appreciated them ai great boons . What we have to expect in future , then , is this—that the Times will acknowledge its obligations to us thus : A HASH FROM SATURDAYS " XORTIIERS STAR . "
Ths Proiecmosists axd their Tools . —So , then , the reckoning day has come , and agricultural fury , heretofore unconnected and weak , has been gathered into a storm , which threatens , if not a dissolution of Parliament , at least a severance of that harmonious connection which so long existed between the farmers and their friends ; and hence , like well-bred dogs , we see the agricultural pups walking out of the house through the " Chiltern Hundreds" door , before they are kicked into the street . We always predicted that the time would come when Peel ' s * pipe would rally the men "THAT WHISTLED AT THE PLOUGH" against the HACKS that WHISTLE IN DOWJS'LNG-STREET . Which of the lines will Peel now select as the rvatch-wrrd for his future struggles ? Are they ] to be peaceful or warlike ? Are thev to
lie—IUc ego qui quandam gracili modulatui atena , or Armatimmquecano Trojaquiprimtu ab Oris ? ^ The Ten Hours' Bill asd Lord Ashley . —The fate of this uufortuuate measure has been truly romantic . Nosoonerdoes it appear to be within the easy grasp of those who have so long cherished hope iu its enactment , and who have supported it with such heroic and untiring devotion , thau anon it vanishes like a phantom , leaving little but the temporary astonishment it created for the puzzled mind to re flect upon . The year before last it was strung , substantial , and gigantic , nursed into form by the breath from without , aud blown into strength by the voico
of the majority within . It suddenly acquired impdrtance , paralysed iu putative father , and after a Ministerial tribute to his tenderness and parental affection , the parent seat it again to nurse till aur little aiinisterial deformity should have been removed . In compliance with its noble parent ' * desire its friends and supporters allowed it to rest until a more fitting opportunity should present itself for its re-appearance , and in accordance with this policy the noble l » rd , early in the session , and at a time peculiarly fitting to its introduction , renews the subjt-ct . He says , "Behold my monster now ! See it , look well , feast your eyes : for a little time ye shall see it . and for a
GREAT WHILE YE SHALL KOT SEE IT . " It was our misfortune to be compelled , in the exercise of a very painful duty , to speak severely , if not reproachfully , of the noble lord ' s first retreat ; but what are we to say of hia secoml ?—when victory was indisputable—whea the triumph of labour was within his grasp ! la it too much to say that there was as much significauce in the SHAKE of the Premier ' s hand , as there was in the portentous NOD of Lord Burieigh ' s head ? A number of Parliament should weigh consequences and balance results , and should not capriciously preserve a mock , a puerile , and hypocritical consistency at the expense of the interest of millions of toil-worn slaves . Lord Ashley had a more noble , a more just , aud a luore
equitable course before kim than that of Ministerial pander or Parliamentary consistency . He was at best but the delegate of the majority of . Dorsetshire farmers , while he was the representative of miMona .-cittered over the face of the country , whose confidence he has foully betrayed , and whose cause hebas unfairly jeopardised . What ' s the opinion or even the existence of aU the farmers of Dorsetshire in comparison with the importance of a measure which would stop alow and continuous torture , a lingering existence , and premature death , as the rule of an immense population ? If Lord Ashley was more sensitive upon the subject of his Parliamentary consistency than upon the incalculable blessings that must flow from that social reform which was within his reach , he
should betake himself to retirement and solitary reflection , and . not again intrude his sensitive inefficiency upon thousands , aye , millions , who are now SLAVES TO HIS CAPRICE . Lord Ashley might have saved bis consistency , and at the same time have preserved Ms dignity , lits party , and his principles by taking thesensa of his constituents , as their delegate , aud , by voting according to their directions , havestill remain as the representative of the working classes . This would have been the honourable course , and one that would have been satisfactory to all ; we trust , however , that the principlo will gain strength by the command being transferred to the incorruptible and indomitable Fielden , vice Ashley ,
who retires in disgrace . Now , it will not do for Lord Ashley to play fast and loose with this question—to run with the hare and hold with the hound—it will not do to make Dorsetshire a HACK , and infant labour a HOBBY-HORSE—it will not do to come and go , for mayhap some other ministerial crisis may present a fresh difficulty , which would make it incumbent upon the noble lord to resign the houss and the question , rather than impede the progress of the business of the country ; which means the passing of railway bills , raising supplies , coercing the working classes , and spending their money . Lord Ashley , then , can never again be permitted to take the lead in a question which he has twice deserted , and to accomplish which he lacks the moral courage .
Mtt . Fkriusd asd the League . —In faith , but the honourable member for Kiiaresborough has had more than a taste of free trade philosophy , and we presume he understands their knuckles better than their arguments . The Scotchman says , " there Is nothing convinces like a lick in the lug ; " but the League , dreading a rekpse from such . hasty conviction , prefers the philosophy of the old
adage" A dead cock can ' t crow . " We have studiously perused the speeches of Mr . Ferrand , recently delivered in the north , upon the subject of free trade , and we defy tbe most thick and thin supporter of the measure to negative his facts , or to shake his position ; and while we would not place the working classes in the false position of abettors to the very worst description of Toryism , by supporting or even countenancing Lane Fox , we cevertheless fully appreciate the brave , tbe bold , and manly bearing of Mr . Ferrand , as far as respects his
exposure of the League and the factory system . Mr . Ferrand will have learned a s . ilutarv and wholesome lesson during his tour—the lesson , that old Chartist birds are not to be caught with chaff , and that the enfranchisement of sixty boroughs , which is the political boon that Mr . Fcrrand proposes , is neither part nur parcelof the documentcailed the PEOPLE'S CHARTER . Taking all things into consideration , however , Mr . Ferrand ' s tour may conduce to great good—if it does nothing more than exhibit the League horror of discussion .
Monk and Shake Market . —The 3 e twin devils cannot be well separated until after Thursday next , when the required amount of deposits are EXPECTED to be paid into the Accountant-General ' s office ; but . as wcprcdictcd with regard to railway stares , all the good substantial lines are not creeping , but actually popping up , while , as we also predicted , the bubbles are vanishing . All attempts of the government practitioners failed to dispel the LITTLE SPECK that still hovered over < he Exchange . The Corn- Thade . —As we predicted , in this branch also , the three years ' breathing time allowed to the clod-uoles by the Ministerial measure , has had a tendency to arrest the flail and stop the threshim ; machine—the consequence of which is an upward tendency in the price of grain , with a simultaneous increase in the cry of famine . Those poor ignorant c ! nd- ;> oles have no more notion of what the inevitable result of Peel ' s measure will be than the man in the
mr-on . We told them before , and we tell them again , that Peel has mesmerised them , and made them a body without limbs or members : a hopeless , hapless trunk , squatted u ;> on the soil as scarecrows to frighten future generations by the mutilated body of old abuses and usurped firivileges . Trade . —The manufacturers very naturally make a sum of their nl : ered prospects , andBtateitthus—If a pound spent on Peel ' s new tariff gives £ 1 103 ., what will it give in the event of a war with America ? ami they find the answer to be , DOUBTFUL . Now , another of our predictions was , that Peel would use the war-cry just as it might be made to serve his
commercial policy , and if it presents a prospect of remunerative prices and protection to tbe landlords , through rivers of blood , and if the commercial policy of the country cannot be otherwise secured , then war we will have ; but if , upon the other hand , the active calculating capitalists ste great risk to their traw , they will demand a total aud immediate repeal of the Corn Laws , without being encumbered with the CLUMSY LUMPS of legislation which the Prime Minister has thrown in , such as five years' industrial residence . We fear , that if an early spring trade should set in , its progress will be stepped by the warcry and Ministerial measures .
IKELAWD . Bkt . vx Seeijt . —We learn that lirvr . n Seery , who was convicted and sentenced to death at the Mul-

! Ungar sessions for firing at Sir Francis Hopkin ., will not be executed , and that his sentence wUl be commuted to transportation lor life . . . We think th , sis the least reparation to a . miserable manwho . was convicted by a secondjury . frightened into unanimity by the threatened starvation of their predecessors CmuEKon of Bad Law a ^ LaSd TtiussY .-We : give in another column reports of more murders and ' shooting , " collected from the Tory press , that has been long bellowing for coercion . From then accounts we learn that one man was tired at on his way home , but we have given previously many instancy ot outrages committed upon the UAlb and GARMLMS of individuals by their own hands . We tendered the following -. jL ™ f «
Mr . Lyttleton , then Secretary for lreV ^ ^ tfi Whig gOTornment was getting up the howl for coercion , but the Whig secretary refused to ai . l us in the exposure of the guilty parties : _ A celebrated Orangeman , who was a major in the army , was , together with some other LARKING DEFENDERS OF THEIR COUNTRY , on a visit w ^ galiant captam and the whole party , with faces blackened , and otherwise disfigured essayed , in the middle of a dark winter ' s night , to ransack the Sibourmg farm-houses , their object beine to swear the occupants to be White Boyi , and to ^ be gi ^ to buy fire-arms and ammunition . The outrage wai strongly relied upon by the Irish coercioniste , and when we discovered the plot from one of the guiltv party , whosincerelyrepentedofhisfolly , and , although wo had his permission to communicate the facts to the government , together with his name and what couiu
ne prove , tue government refused any participation in the trial af the offenders . So much f ™ e moile ot making out a case for coercion , and the real value of the howl to Ireland ' s oppressors . In 1823 n gallant captain of a yeomanry corps , who wished to be put on permanent pay , as well as being desirous to recommend himself to his employers , one night , on his return from a party , dismissed his servant , who was accompanying him home with a lantern , and after a lapse of time , more than suthcieut to have gone ten times the distance , he ran home breathless , with his hat on his head , declaring that he was fired at , but that he didn ' t know whether he was hit or not ; leaving it to his lS \ mvW J ° ? rf T r tUe bullct liole in his UNMOVED hat . The hoax was so sross . and sn
clumsily done , that , although it served as a justification for mcreased tyranny , the author was the sufterer , tor he became a perfect laughing-stock to his neighbours . Ten hearty ruffians can , in any ten days in the year , establish strong grounds for coercion . Ireland , however , never ought to be quiet , and we trust never will be quiet , Hntil the Prote 3 tant Church Establishment is destroyed , rootand branch , —until her sons are allowed to cultivate the soil for their own benefit , and until every man of twenty-one years of age shall have a vote for the representative who is to make the laws to govern him . Then Ireland would be the most happy , the most prosperous , and the most moral nation upon the face of the earth .
FOREIGN . France asd England . —Still the war of " WHO SHALL V ra » e 3 in the French Chambers . The national sympathy is in favour of America , while ministerial expediency leads towards the great maritime nei g hbour . Upon the whole , we incline to think that Africa and DOMESTIC PROGRESSION , together with the unquietness by which the great nation is bounded , will give the despots quite enough to do upon their own account , without burning their fingers in a meddling war . For further foreign news see our geaeral Foreign Summary , EunorEAN Ixtervesiiox . —The following tit bit , from its importince , and from the fact that it breathes our most sanguine wish , we dignify with a place in our Summary : —
On the 6 th , a Mr . liowlin addressed the House , and breathed dreadful fury a'ainst Great Britain in particular , and the monarchical states of Europs in general . He would not , according to the report of the Unlkd States Courier , cede an inch for the purpose of preventing a war but would rather , on the contrary , give up the whole territory of Oregon to have a war , whicli inight give him the opportunity of coming to Europe to instil the principles of liberty amongst the European population , and to teach them how to dethrone the despots who hare , he savs , vowed an implacablo hatred against America .
By the above , it appears that we did not miscalculate , when we announced that the question of nonintervention in the President ' s message would be the greatest stumbling-block to tbe European League of Kings ; and Louis Philippe , whose tenure hangs ' , perhaps , upon the slightest thread , has set his Minister at War ' s wit to work from the commencement of the French sessions till the present moment , to see how he can best stem tho torrent of nun-intervention , which , in common language , means nothing more or less than the aninteiruuted progress of democratic institutions .
TUESDAY . The Minister and tub League . —The League are playing the dodge , and not a bad one eitiier , of keeping their forces together until the fate of tlie Miinsteral measures are known . Thev are mindful of the old adage , "MUCH WILL HAV E MORE " and will , therefore , frighten the already terrilied landlords into a tame acquiescence in the proposed measure , by threatening them , in case of sulk , with a tutal and immediate repeal . In reminds us of the Irish traveller in the olden timewhowith a sixpence
, , iu the left hand and a bit of blackthorn in the ri- 'ht said to a lazy postboy , "Here ' s this ( the sixpence ) it you go on , aud this ( the blackthorn ) if you don't " There ' s nobbing like a stoue in the sleeve , and for that reason / we shall keep our ' s snug until the sixpence aud bit of blackthorn have done their work , and then our Chartist stone shall go into the " sliii "" of agitation ; a 3 the League may ress assured that they are not going to wrest political power out of the hands of the multitude , to be used lor the irrevocable subjugation of labour .
Lord Stanhope asd Free Trade . —Elsewhere we publish a letter from the retreat of this truly English and philanthropic nobleman . Everything coming from the pen of this gifted philanthropist must hi received with all the respect that is due to honest convictions , and with all the honour that is due to their bold and truthful assertion . We believe that there docs not breathe a more purely honest man than Earl Stanhope , while at the same time we cannot consent to rally the support of the disinherited labourer as an auxiliary force to tight the battles of their usurping oppressors . Earl Stanhope we know was a manful opponent te the damnable act , that all its korrors and the vices of its propounders were sure one dav to
recoil upon their own heads . Had they preserved the honourable connection , and patronage of patron and client , they might have been roused to theory of our JOINT PROPERTY IS IN DANGER ; but tlie wealthy powerful seized the opportunity presented by the Hush of young manufactures to oust , disinherit , forsake , and abandon their powerless partners , and then closed the dour against the return of the " prodigal son , " who had been naturally invited by the fascinating prospect of a hasty fortune easily made . A human butciier was employed , a human slaughter-house was established , where infant blood was made the temptation to sell parental feeling . Whole families were bought and sold like pigs in a market-place , while the voice
ot Oastkr ALONE was raised against the hellish and unchristian practice . This was the manufacturers ' price for agricultural slaves , and , in return , he aided the heartless Squire in rivetting the chains of shame and sorrow upon his former clients , * o as to make them badges of disgrace when they returned to the home of their fathers . th
DUE TIME THEIR PRODUCERS MIGHT ENJOY THEM ; and as the immortal Cobbetthns well said , " Giv « us the cowied monk , as the administrator and dispenser of charity , in preference to the mustachioed regimental slave ! " Herein Lord Stanhope rests the danger to your order ; and , pity it is , that in such cases th « ali- « rasping law should make no distinction between tiie good and the bad , and that you should suffer with the llichmomla and the Buckinghams . As long as the privileges ot the landlords were protective of the ri ghts of labour , so long was the labourer ever ready to fly to the cry of "My cottage is iu danger '" but now , when the strife comes , the usurpers must fight their battle alone .
Tub Militia . —By a reference to tijeParliamcntary Summary it will be seen that a sufficient amount of explaiiatiou has been given upon the subject of the proposed bill for the embodiment of the ' militia to lull Uw public mind into a false security ; but as it is our aiteution to devote some space to the more extensive consideration of the subject , we abstain from saying more under the present head than merely to cry WARE HAWK . No vote , no musket ! Mork Resignations . —By St . Paul , but the work of retreating yoes bravely on ; so much so , that for
the hrst time m Parliamentary history the Prime Minister is compelled to consult the records of Parliament lor precedents that bear upon the acceptance of the LUCRATIVE OFFICE of Steward of the Unltcrn Hundreds ; so that henceforth it appears that a retreat train Parliament is to be no sinecure . Moset and Share Market . —Wehnvelittle alteration to note m these departments beyond the additional coiihrmatiou of our prediction , that the good linesi continue to go steadil y up , while the bubbles continue as steauilv to vanish

WEDNESDAY . ili . Tl . nS 1 IIo . UR 8 \ Bl" < -Wc rejoice te find that tlie lliunderer isnot so irrevocably steeped in free trade pledges as to be forced from the advocacy of the all-important principle of Short Time ; r . nd if lueitoitt only succeeds in keeping up the steam in lavour ot the holy cause to a successful issue , we shall willingly , gladly , and cheerfully accord to it that ascendancy which it has long struggled to achieve , but which u never will deserve until it can point to some substantial measure that it has wrung from the rich oppressor in favour of the pow oppressed . We propose once more to take our humble position as private soldiers in the Short Time ranks , and to devote a month or more , if necessary , to the continuous agitationot the
subject , in order to back its supporters within , with an amount of petitions from without that will fairly astonish the untutored minds of our sapient representatives . Now , we never promise wnat we do not mean to perform , but we do promise upon our own part , and which cannot be had without MH T » vF H asltation ' ONE MILLION SIGNAl U K . fcb , praying tor the adoption of the measure as ioon as we are convinced that they will be availably used by its Parliamentary supporters . ltlCIIARD OasTLEB ASD THE TEN HoUlts' BlLL . — Men sometimes cannot comprehend the great imnort-in . ee of a subject in which , at first . sight , imlivictual importance can only appear . Despite this difficulty , however , we contend that no subject of greater importance can possibly present itself to our
mind at the present moment than that of FORCING Richard Oisder into tho House of Commons , whether he will or no . If not the inventor , he is the rcnovator , the improver , and the engineer of . the shorU time machinery ; and he is the man , above all others in this world , to enforce the weight of the pressure Jroiu without , to strengthen the opinions within upon the sabject . Moreover , we wish the question ot mbour to be forced in all its phases upon the con-• ideration-of the house , pending the debate upon the Ministerial policy ; and we know of no man on earth whose advocacy of labour ' s social rights would have « o astounding an efl ' ect upon the Protectionists as that of Richard Oastler . lie lias a way peculiar to himself , and , at the same time , not distasteful
to the most critical , of plumping out truths and » trong facts , and lab mr VULGARITIES , which in another man would be- ealled rude , but in him would be thought knowledge . There is an earnestnesj , a sincerity , a vigour , an irresistible coura-o about the Old King , which sets feeble opposition at defiance , and laughs prejudice out of countenance . Shall we , then , without a general election ^ nut our every shoulder to the wheel , and give to the l » n Hours' cause a commander that can neither be corrupted , bribed , or intimidated ? By all that is just , we would suffer any amount of privation to hear the lion of labour roaring amongst the wolves . We say again , that perhaps if we were writing our fingers off , we could not suirsest anv cbamre that
would be more conducive to the cause of labour than that of transforming the quiet gentleman into a bustling representative . Nothing could be more easy ; and if the friends of Short Time , and the friends of liberty generally , back us in our endeavour , we have no doubt ot success . We attaah more importance to the question of Short Time than to all the Minist « nal measures of Sir Robert Peel put together , or to allother measures excoptthe People ' s Charter . And , m point of fact , the greatest importance that we do attach to Peel ' s measures , 13 the conviction that they must inevitably lead to an adjustment between animate and inanimate producing power .
Again , we repeat , that no power on earth can give the people any command over the power of capital , wid the dominion of their masters , until there is such a demand for labour as will make the child , Capital , obedient to its parent , Labour . And we further assert , that full and unrestricted free trade in everything , with the unrestricted use of machinery , would be the greatest curse that could befall this country , as the inevitable result would be an active and de-• troying competition in slave labour , to maintain our manufacturing pre-eminence abroad ; and no man in England cau so effectually brinj ; this question before H ?^* ™ * " * the country , as Richard Oastler , the
KING OF THE FACTORY . CHILD ! No v ° ™ . no Musket !—In another place will be found the proceedings of several public meetings which have been held in opposition to the proposed embodiment of the militia . Mr . Sturge attended the Leicester meeting , aud his speech squared exactly with the sentiments expressed in our article of last Saturday , upon the question of providing substitutes tor the government . We commend Mr . Sturge ' s M > ecch lor other reasons ; it was full of that milk ot human kindness for which its author issocalebrated . We are glad to find that the gathering was a mixture of Chartist and the Complete Suffrage party . We believe that the slightest differences which exist between any two sections of the movement party are
those whicli separate the Chartists , with the name , from tho ANONYMOUS CHARTISTS . WE NEVER WILL ABANDON OUR NAME , and therefore all that they have to do to insuve a hearty oo-operation is to adopt it , and wo shall be more than a match for Protectionists , Antimonopolists , and the whole tribe of undefined humbug * . And more , we promise to divide the service with our coadjutor , by leaving him , as far a * we are concerned , unopposed sway in the field while we give effect to his labour in the Cabinet . We have now as much as we can possibly do while Parliament is sitting for five whole days in the week , and sometimes a bit of the night ; and now , at the
commencement of the new struggle , we say to Mr . Sturge—our blood was shed for you , our money was spent for you , our time , our service , and our life were ilovoted to you at Nottingham ; our co-operation was eheerfully volunteered to you at Birmingham ; YOU HAVE TRIED TO GET RID OF US , AND YOU COULD NOT , and never can . Now , co-operate with us , and let the public judge of our . relative motives by the manner in which our united strength for the overthrow of the united power of faction shall be used—you , in the field , we in the Cabinet , NOT DIRECTING , but chronicling your actions , through the onlj channel by which they can possibly achieve one particle of strength .

IRELAND . Iiiklasd asd Amkbica . —At the Conciliation Hall , on Monday , Tom Steele denounced in the strongest terms the resolutions that had been proposed in the American Congress , declaratory of sympathy for Ireland , and suggesting tho probability of that country becoming a Republic . 0 'Conkki . l and O'Biuen . —These two gentlemen are at issue upon the subject of the Corn Laws—Dan for their repeal , O'Brien against it ; while the member lor Limerick admits that there'is no difference between himself and Dan upon one point—namely , that the repeal of tho Corn Laws will expedite the repeal of the Union . If we were of the same opinion M tke two j-etitlemen , we bhould vote for a repeal of the Uvn Laws ; but we much tear that the adjustment ot that question will have the effect of creatin " auch a state of things as will place the Bepeal ques " - tion in abeyance for some time .

FOREIGN . AUBnicA . —Ihe war question proceeds with increased vigour ; and tho Yankees do not seem disposed to give their monarchical friends a single moments breathing time . The English press ha » . aboured hard to convince its readers that President 1 oik was . opposed to any warlike movement , while news to be more relied upon assures us that Mr . President Polk , in private as well as in public-, expresses a wish that the House of Representatives would sanction the notice to quit being served upon the British government .
THURSDAY . The " Times" and the l ' oon . —It not infrequently happens that you meet a FRIEND with a resolution to give him a good blowing up , while something affable in his manner , dashing in his recklessness , or winning in his smile , converts the hostile resolution into a Iricmlly feeling , and you say— " Oh , curse the fellow ! " When you sec him , he makes you for » ct everything , and you can't help liking him . Now such , we confess , is precisely our situation with regard to the Times . Notwithstanding its irreconcilable thick and thin , senseless support of free trade and the League , it does nevertheless come out with such astounding articles in favour of the ri ghts ot the poor , as distinguished from the privileges of t \ v . rich , that we are literally induced to say— " Cttr . ^ the pHqw ! there ' s no such thing as falling out \ y ' , [) , aim .

ing in support 0 < Sir Robert Peel ' s five yearn' industrial residence , which we regret not having room for . This article is more elaborate upon the same subject than our comment in yesterday ' s Summary . It treats at large the subject that we there merely glanced at . The pith of the article is , that a minister should not allow tlie rights of the poor to be made a bone of contention by the rich of different classes ; anil in order to strengthen an impression , which never should have faded , as to the injustice of seducing agricultural labourers to the manufacturing districts , ¦ we give the following correspondence , which is extracted from the article in question : — Extract of a letter from Mr .

" I hav » for some time thought of addressing you on the samo matter as my frieud Aehworth did some thmago ; namuly , tlm propriety of opening a communication between our ( strange to saj ) underpnopled UistricU ami tho southern overpeopled ones . " It is at this moment » most important suggestion , and deserves to bo put into immediate operation " It muBtbe looked upon ai a happy coincidence that at the period of depriving or curtailing ? perhaps tbefacili tiesof gaining , livelihood to th . p £ J .

This fortunate oceurrencu should be taken advantage of .
" Tho susgistion I wouldmakeis this , that some official channel of communication should be opened in two or three of our large towns with your office , or any office , to which the most overcharged parishes might transmit lists of their families . Manufacturers short of labourers , or Waning new 1 oiicerns , might look over the lists and select , as they might require ( for the variety of oar wants Is great ) .

IRELAND . The Potatok Crop . —We give tho following disastrous account of the prosprctB of the Irish people just as we find it , from the Cork Examiner : — The accounts we contiuue to receive from Dungarvan art indeed raelauchol y in the extreme . Sickness , scarcity , and want of employment , shed their bitterness upon the devoted heads of the poor . Thero are upwards of 8 , 000 human beings , we are given to understand , in a itute - of wuut and wretchedness , requiring assistancefrom government , or from tho 3 e whom 601 I has blessed with moans for such purpose . The poor-house is crammed with women andchildren , in which thero are nteo upwards of forty men , capable of work , but none to be had . The spread of fever is really alarming , induced , of course
trom want , cold , . and hunger . Nor do the evils stop here . The Poor ^ Jaw Guardians met on hjt Thursday , when tiny reported that the supply of potatoes destined for one during tha season , and carefully put up , turned out , on examination , to be mure than half rotten , and that the romnimler are going fast . It is some consolation , under these melancholy circumstances , when the government does not seem to n \ ove in the matter , that the townspeople are exerting themselves with equal spirit and benevolence . From the subscriptions raised , potatoes are purchased in large quantities , and sold after by retail , at first cost , to the poor , a plan attended with much good . In the meantime tho board of guardians
and tho inhabitants and rate-pnyers of the town have addressed the Lord-Lieutenant . The- reply of his Excellency to the memorial of tlie guardians , under the circumstances , is cold , heartless , » nd iHppant . What cares this English oBldal—this weru-out diplomatistfur the starving people of an Irish-fishing town ? What sympathy could he have with their misery—what fellowfeeling for their distress ! 'Tis a heat tless mockery , this craating Englishmen and Scotchmen into vise-kings ; throning them in the mai-blu halls ' of St . Patrick ,, and giving them jurisdiction and sway over | a warm-heartc-d people , in whose elevation they take ' uo interest , for whoso prosperity they ar « not pwud , mad for whose afflictions they do not grieve .
Aye , indeed , it is a heartless mockery , this creating Englishmen and Scotchmen into vice-Sungs ; but who but the Irish press has induced a brave and devoted people to tolerate the iaookei : yso long ?

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE . ^ KEwoAflTLB-upojf-TiNE , Tuesdat . —A most destructive nre occurred this morning at the extensive locoinotive ^ engine nmnufactory of at « . R . and W . Hawthorn , at he 101 th Bmum , in this town . The principal portion of urrn U l ? ^ btCn e ° millatel > dMtw » M together Srlvth l *\ of . ^ motive engine , in proi / rJ , and tuJsewndsr ^ nf 1 " 11 " th * op . « Mch fomed tlie second story ot an immense rectangular W , Wi , in the centre of the works , the lower «^ b *» gT , " oc £ motive shop , where tke locomotive engine , " ro Lt to gether after their several parts have been manuiaetured ' in tha various part * of the establishment .
Tbe fire was discovered bet « renn four and fiv o ' clock in the morning by John Reside , the night watchman who shortly bofora had let one of the workmen , a ji . iner , named Mosscrop , into the premise * to complete somo work he had left unfinished the previous nij . 'ht . lie oh . served tlie lire from the east window of tin- joiners' shop , and tried to cll ' tct an entrance , but could not for the smoke . Ho then gave the alarm , and llosner .. p uml another man who came into the yard at the time run away for theiire-eiigiius , aiid to give information to the foremen and the police . The fire-engines were on the spot with unusual celerity , but the nre had then attained such a height , that all attempts to extinguish it were useless , so that the exertions of the nremen and police were ' rim-fly directed towards preventing the fire spreading to the ad " , joining premises . A detachment of soldi-. rs fro : n the
garrison , with the brigade engine , were presently on tho ground , and rendered very essential u-rvice . An immense number of perrons had collected out side the work * , watching tae progress of the devouring element , which raged with irrw rtlbto fury , and seemed to threaten tha enure neighbourhood . In little nuwi than m hour the work of destruction was complete , the roof of the building tell in ho uonderou . wheels of the locomotive tender , burst through the burning rafters of the floor , anSthe tS '« \ T " i ' l : ( 1 '" ' ""«»•> * burning flame . I 1 fl """"^ ° flht " ¦ lld " " . aenitudo 1 1 I 1 , " "" n lluBOVW * P « e « il from the gas , HliiehhadbKnturnedimo the pipes a few minutes bethe hra
¦ ore broke out , and on the neltlnit of the pipe > , which ran in various directions along tlio building , tlie gu ignited , aud , being fed from the main , it continued to burn with appalling fury till tlu suppl y was cut off by choking . Hie pipe , the meter and the main ta ,, being inaccmible trom the iire . The workmen of the eatabUib .. ment were nceadingrjr active 8 but from ths first it was evident that no effiirti could 8 i » ve the princi pal buildinsf and its contents ; but to those , with a few trifling ex . ceptionn , the destruction was confined . No one sustained any serious personal injury . The damage u estimated at from £ 18 , 000 to i' 20 , 000 , and the works m inoured in the Lced * and Yorkshire Insuranee-oiliee , but not , it is understood , to tlie entire amount of the loss .
The moBt serious inconvenience and loss will result from ths suspension of the vt , ; rks , and the impossibility of completing contracts within the stipulated period The house is understood to have contracts for work that will keep the establishment full y employed for three years to come , and the utmost exertions have been mnde for » ome time pa . U to ketp pace with the extraordinary demand for locomotivo power in all parts of the world . A notrce was affixed to tin entrances of the premises this . urwioon , intimating that all the workmen employed in this portion of the establishment that had escape 1 the nre were to resume labour at on » o ' clock to-day , and arrangements are being made , with the usual promptitudoot the enterprising firm , to repair the damage with as little delay as possible .
The origin of the fire appears clearly traceable to Mosscrop , the joiner , who entered the premises shortly after four o ' clock in the morning , and who , it seems , went into the tender-room with a fcmiern to get his saw , as he confesses having opened the hmtevn door , ami the lire wasdueoiered b y the watchman a very , -hort time afterwards . Thm circumstances having come to the knowledge of the polio , they made inquiries for Alosscrop and found that he had never been iu the ya . d after leaving it when the hre broke out , in order to fetch tire engines . They proceeded to his lodgings and found him sittin- by the hre . side , ou which they took him into custody and conveyed him to the police-station , where a preliminary investigation h as been instituted dui ing the day .
Alter hearing the evidence of the watchman , which was similar to the statement abov « givtn . Robert Mosscrop was examined . He handed in a long written statement , of which the following ilt h 8 Ino , t material portion : — ' I was told by the foreman of . the joiners' shop , John Haddon , yesterday morning , that I had to work on till a quarter past ten o ' clock at night , when I remarked that he might let me off if possible , as Iliad promised to gr > and play the violin at Mr . Douglas * , where I Uways play when the violin is wanted . He did not say much to it , and ! considered it settled till night , when one of the men told me I had to work on . I g ,, a glift- of John Hnddon , and I told him that if it laid upon that I would not stop , as it would dissappointthem I was going to play for , but , if it suited , I would come iu at four o ' clock aud . finUh . the
bos I was doing . He said that would do , and I fulfilled rny promise und came to work . I think it was about a quarter after four o ' clock wh . n I came totlieioor and I knocked four or five times and rang the bell . After a great deal to do , the wnteh came to thu doov mm let me in . He wan about dead asUep . I went into the time-office to get my time-boiird out . and a lantern to go upstairs to get my saw out , and when I gotinto the time-onio-, the watchman asked mo what the devil I wanted then-, :, nd I told him I had to stnrt at four o ' clock , and I was wanting the lantern . He tkrew himself on to tlie drawers and seemed quite dead asleep . I got hold of the lantern , and not being accustomed to lantmn of that description , the wick had gone in , and I held it to the gas to light it , and it wouldnottake hold . The watchman putthe wick right , and I lighted it , aud shut the lantern door , and rrent up into the shop , to get my saw out . I was not three minutes
m the shop , till I came out again ; and I had not the door of the lantern open till I got to the drawer to g « t my sawout , and then I closed it again and came down stairs . I saw no fire , nor smelt any smell . " . He further sUted , that he went to a shed and got a , candle , and then went into the smiths ' shop to get a candlestick . Did not know where the watchman whs all that time . On returning from the smiths ' shop he mat tie watchman eominfor the lamp , and gave it to him . Then went into theshea ! , and had been thereat work about a qunrtor-of-anhour when the watchman called out and said , " he bad set the place on fire . " Went to enll the foreman , ami afterwards went to call for the fire-engines , when he met some policemen , who told him the nru-cngiaeinen hail been warned . Returned to the yard , but could not get in , and , after standing a while outside , went home , and was there taken into custody .
John Haddon , foreman of the joinen , confirmed Mosscrop ' * statement of what took place between , them tha preceding day . Had received orders from Mr . Dunn to get certain work done , as it was required to-day , and at the request of ifusscrop consumed to hi * leaving at night and coming at four o ' clock in the morning to finish it . Mosscrop was remanded .
