^ = would soon add to their numbers , and probably provoke a general rising through Poland . Even ont of the mysterious peasants' war in Gallicii , good may come . They hare massacred the Polish nobles , bat they hare also hung the Austrian commissioners . They are demanding the abolition of forced labour—that is , their own emancipation ; and If the Polish nebles have found them enemies , the Anatriana have not found them friends . The latest accounts represent the Austrian authorities as in a state of great alarm , and preparing to make war on the peasants . wouldsoonadd to their numbers , and probablrpro-
These facts should warn the British people that not an hoar is to be lost in rousing themselves to the assistance of the Poles . Next Wednesday evenins & great metropolitan demonstration will be holden at the Crown and Anchor . Let every democrat in London be at his post that evening , and raise the shontof fraternity and sympathy for Poland . Let district meetings throughout London immediately follow . Let similar demonstrations simultaneously
tj&e place throughout the country . Let opinion be organised and money subscribed . Above all things * let every meetin < r be thoroughly democratic . Let us have these means , and the result will be such an ag itation throughout Europe as will emancipate more lands than Poland . Thrones and privileges shall fall before the shock , And , like the baseless fabric of a vision , Leave not a wreck behind .

¦ ? POLAXD AND THE ENGLISH PRESS . [ From the Democratic Pacifiqitc ] The great English journals remain silent on the Polish insurrection , and nothing has transpired in Parliament concerning it However , we must not conclude that the cause of Polish liberty does not obtain any sympathy among the English people . On the contrary , the proletarians en masse and the popular journals , pronounce themselves energetically in favour of this noble cause . The Northern Star has made an appeal to the Chartist party , and calls on every one to subscribe , be it even for a small sum , in order to show the sympathy of the whole English people for unhappy Poland .
After all we have heard from our neighbours , it is to be presumed , that if the Polish revolution should spread in the Slavonian countries , and is able to resist the first efforts of Russia and Austria , England U greatly disposed to pronounce itself in favour of the national unity of Poland .

The island is beautifully situate in the open sea , about 120 miles from Bobart Town , and is very similar to the Isle of Wight , but thesceaerv

WONDAyr " " ""—: To bb ob Nor to BK ? -IIowoften has the popular candidate , surrounded by the enthusiastic apint oi his admirer * , mistaken their confident expression of success as the sure indication of victory' The nresent struggle between the quiet confident Lords lvim ? very much reminds us of the conscious secuntv of the candidate or tots electors , while the choice of the non-electore serves but to amuse him . The hands held up to-day are struck down and paralysed bv the votes registered on the monw . Now so it is with theLords . We affirm , as we have frequently aswrtiiJ that Stanley willlead on theolddukes and tETouni hereditary peers against the great captain and hi *
conuding togies , ana tnat tney will either throw the measure out , so damage it that the Commons must reject it , or keep it suspended in debate until frightened by the prospect ot a badharvestand actual famine or emboldened by the prospect of a good harvest , and the cry that the famine spoken of as existing months ago has not yet arrived . The abandonment of theskinnishing fightby the Protectionists m the Commons was rather a part of their tactics than any proof of their acquiescence in any portion of the measure . However , end as the controvmv Z £
KrTXZ vf ?™ raonr' Prototionis s and rree-lraders , Monopolists and anti-Monopolists , we iT / hoir , ? L ° montUs > ex P « 'ience turnUhed by the debate before us , and strengthened by the manly exposure of Mr . Duncombe iS the Ilouse of Common , on Friday last , assert confidently thaffor every shilling . saved to the workman in the price of produce , fourteen pence will be stolen from him in the shape of reduced wages , if labour does not interfere in time . Now , \ vhat is the proof that Mr . Duncombe has gmm , and we here insert it in large type , full , whole and entire , in order that every working man in the kingdom should preserve it as the index pointing to his share of the promised blessings Iran extended trade and unfettered speculation : — "Mr . Duncmnfc called the attention of the house to the article of bronze powder , which was much used as a raw material in the
process of paper-staining , and observed that it was greatly desired by the paper-stainers that this article should come iu duty free . The master paper-stainers , it had been represented to Mm , Avere determined that , by the reduction of the duty on stained paper , the loss , if any , should not fall upon them , and they told their workmen so . He had been informed that , in one case , an extensive employer was holding back a fifth of the men ' s wages till this question was settled . Now , he held it to be very unfair towards the workmen that all the loss should fall upon them . The masters said they were not able to compete with the foreign paper-stainers , Avho , in addition to other advantages , paid no excise duty upon the article . He wished to ask the right hon . baronet if he would not remit the whole of the protective duties upon bronze powder and pigments ?"
Now , lest any man may suppose that Mr . Duncombe ' s statement was a mere repetition of an unfounded assertion made by the men , let us hear what Sir George Clerk , the minister who manages the Trade Department , says in reply to Mr . Duncombe : — Sir George Clerk had had an interview . with a deputation of paper-stainers a faw days ago , when they made statements similar to those put forward by the hon . gentleman . Let the working men well consider this subject . We have now for many , many years written and
spoken upon it , and we are not prepared to retract a sentence that we have uttered , but , on the contrary , we now repeat that free trade , if not accompanied by such measures as the working classes can now enforco from divided faction , will lead , firstly , to poverty , dependence , and degradation , and then to revolution , distraction , destruction , and strife . The people now have everything in their power : let the free trade chain be quietly rivetted upon them once , and they are powerless , except through revolution . Labour must have its Parliament , or labour must succumb to the Parliament of capitalists .
A Aice Max for a Small Partic—Ignorance of the working classes is the great cause assigned for withholding the franchise from them . No value is attached to the knowledge of building a house or furnishing it and decorating it—no importance is attached to feeding , clothing , warming , and iu every way sustaining its idle inmates ; no importance is attached to the performance of those several works which , if not performed by the industrious , the ignorant wealthy would starve and die . If we are to look for knowled ge anywhere , surely it is within the precincts of the court , and in the neighbourhood of Eton College , and from the first magistrate of Windsor—he has the opportunity of picking up a bit of " larxisb , " and even a smattering of Latin , from
the young gentlemen of Eton ; and now let us see how far this important officer is gifted with that important thing called knowledge . Last week he presided at an election for the borough , and the fight being all upon one side , he had no opportunity of displaying his partiality for the court candidate . When the proceedings were over , a vote ot thanks , as is usual in such cases , was proposed to his worship the mayor , when , in reply , the first magistrate of Windsor said , " I am sure I have every reason to be grateful to those honourable gentlemen who have so cordially drank my health . ( Three cheers , and 'LongJife to you ! ' ) Yes , he repeated it . He was unaccustomed to public speaking , and had his health so often drunk at small ( co-parties , that he thought the present was a repetition of the many such compliments that had
been paid to him . " What would be said of a Chartist that didn ' t know the difference between an election and a tea-party ? We can furnish but one parallel for this case of ignorance . Amongst military men , "General Breezo" is a favourite toast , and means " the glass . " A very ignorant Irish middleman , who was appointed to the commission of the peace , but who couldn't write his own name , by some accident or other was invited to dine at the mess of a regiment whose officers he had allowed to sport over his grounds . After the usual catalogue of toasts was exhausted , thn commanding offiter said , " Come , gentlemen , I'll give you 'General Breezo ! '" "Aye , d n it , " exclaimed the middleman justice , starting to his feet , " I'll drink that fellow ' s health ; that ' s the fellow that saved us from Boney , though I forget where he signalised himself . "
O Conxkll and TnE Welsii Martyrs . —We have received several letters inquiring whether or no it is true that Mr . O'Connell pledged himself to vote for the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones . Yes , it is quite true that he pledged himself to Mr . Duncombe to vote for the motion , and yet that neither he nor a single joint of his tail , although they were all in the house nearly up to the hour of the division , voted for it . This is too bad , and made apparently more galling to us b y the fact that on the very day of that division we paid £ 7 17 s . Cd . expenses , incurred by getting up the Covent Garden demonstration , on the 1 st of July , on behalf of O'Connell . and the other Irish prisoners ; but we richly deserve it for resting any hope on such rotten reeds .
Russell and the Whigs . —There remains not a shadow of doubt that Russell ' s motion , to be brought on after Easter , relative to the state of Ireland , is intended as a feeler for power . It is always after Easter that the " sessional battle" really commences ; it is after Easter that we shall have the bidding for public favour ; it is after Easter that we should contrive to have our flock ready to exhibit in the best possible state . Again , we repeat that no Chartist constituency will have to pay more than the travelling expenses of their delegates ; and that , therefore , it is the bounden duty of every constituency to be prepared , without delay , with a delegate ready for the emergency , and the Executive will issue their instructions in time , as to the number to constitute the Convention and the places from whence delegates are to come .
Irade . —From theseveral manufacturing districts the trade reports are more awful , in consequence of the anticipated future , than even from the present depression . From Bradford , we learn that an immense quantity of machinery is idle , while hands are unemployed , prices looking down , and speculators cautious . In Manchester , the masters aro so anxious to have the first shot at free trade , that most of the building trades have been compelled te strike . We may be told that . thoy have struck , not against a reduction of wages , but for increased wages . So they ought!—that is the most legitimate of all strikes . The masters have entered into extensive contracts , which Peel ' s tariff will enable them to complete much below the estimate at which
they have taken them ; and as labour is the important material in all such contracts , why , we should be glad to know , should it not have its share in the benefits of free trade ? Will the contractors offer their employers a drawback upon the estimated sum ? Will they say— " I contracted for £ 1500 when prices were so-and-so—I now find that I can execute the work at £ 200 under that amount , and I will give you the benefit of the reduction ? " Not a bit of it . Ihey will persuade the employer that the proposed tariff has actuall y thrown impediments in their way . rvow , e will give the Manchester trades a little counsel : they should only strike in cases where specific agreements for the performance of the work at
certain time exist , and then , not to allow the masters to have all the talk at their side , they should send a respectful deputation to the person for whom die contract was undertaken , and state their case , requesting him not to grant an extension of time . It was by the government aiding Pcto and Grissell m this way , that enabled them to beat their hands ; whereas , it kept to the performance of the contract , the men would have triumphed . Cors Trade . —Notwithstanding the continuous attempts ot the free traders , the tender-hearted millers cannot be induced to purchase beyond the hand to m outh supply . Indian corn is coming in wholesale , and every quarter of Indian corn that conies in .

Tub London Tailors and their Employes . — More ot the blessings of free trade , with uncontrolled power in the hands of capitalists , are bein" daily exhibited in the tailoring department . The masters havo reduced wages by ninepence in every two shillings , or about thirty-live per cent . ; while they are alsoactually overholding work in expectation of cheap food making still cheaper wages . Again , we ask , if it is not time for labour ' s parliament to assemble in the metropolis , and" for labour to have a mighty demon-Swf ™ « ay ' stoil , to enforce such TIMELY COiNtiSbblON as the ; necessity of the times demand ? We are even fearful that labour will again allow itB hour ot triumph to pass .
Monet and Share Market . —These twin devils are still suspended between hope and fear . The hope of free trade , and the fear of war keeps up such a Stock Exchange lever , as to make it impossible for the speculators to operate without considerable risk and ite Times , as is its custom , is playing fast and loose with the war question . Shares are , and have been for sometime , at a stand-still , and the funds are looking down .

We cannot much rely upon the interested information we receive from the patriots or the free traders , while we give with sorrow the following extract from a letter received Jrom a relation of our own : — " As to the seed potatoes you write for , you cannot form the least idea of the difficulty in getting them here , or of the shocking state of distress that threatens us . Two Neapolitan vessels , laden with potatoes , have put into Cerk , and many GENTLEMEN are actually purchasing them at 8 d . _ a stone , in expectation that the demand for seed will increase the price , and give
them a profit . All those families who used to feed their servants partly upon potatoes have now , one and all , been obliged to substitute bread ; in fact , the newspapers convey but a very slight notion of the present state of the country , and the much worse state that threatens us . Seed potatoes that used to be fourpence a weight for good ones , are now selling for a shilling a weight for bad ones . "—Would not the English » Chartists be represented by the Conciliation Hall patriots as savages and monsters if , under such circumstances , they resisted what even PROMISES TO BE A BENEFIT ? Depend upon it , the Chartists are right in not resisting free trade , and aro just as right in resolving to have their full share of any benefit that accrues from it .
Coercion . —We are not , on the first day of tho week , in a sufficiently amiable temper to write upon a law which subjects the Irishman who shall be found out of his house an hour before sunset , to transportation for fifteen years ; but this we will say—Oh ! that the Irish people had the Polish leaders , or that the Polish leaders had the Irish people I This is not only a damnable bill , but an infernal , rascally , bloodthirsty , rebelioua bill . Murders in Ireland . —While the Times is labouring hard at its beastly vocation to bring Ireland and the Irish priesthood into odium and contempt , we will here relate an anecdote , which bespeaks the Irish feeling as to what muider really is . Some few jears ago , an English capitalist purchased an estate in the county of Tipperavy , and proceeded by the Cork coach to Cashel to take possession . A respectable old dame , a fixture , had been in the habit of attending the passengers whilo at tea . The dun
chaser had heard several conversations in the conch as to the disturbed state of Tipperary , and the numerous murders that were said to be committed there . When the passengers had started , the stranger said to the dame . " Pray , my good woman , is it tr ue that there are so many murders committed in this country ? " " Wisha then , my God , who tould your honour the like of that ? Sure , then , the devil a uiHrierisever committed here ; and I'llengagobut that tnere ' s not quieter boys nor the Ti pperary boys . " "Well , but I understand that they murder their landlords and the proctors here frequently . " " Oh , wisha , is it them sort ? Yea , them , to be sure , they knocks the brains out of them landsharks and them tithe devils now and then ; aiidhowcanthecraythurs help it ? Sure , when the devil or ever they'll Jet them alone , but worrying them and harassing them , and driving them out of their lives ; but I declare to God the wonder is that they lets one of them sort live at all . "
FOREIGN . America . — It appears that the Cambria mail packet set off with one side of the question , and only brought half mails—the peaceable halves—while , somehow or other , the warlike halves have been smuggled in ; and it appears , alter all the pacific declarations , that we are to have war . Indeed , the activity recently displayed at our dockyards leaves not a shadow of doubt upon the subject , and , as we stated five months ago , the first announcement that the nation will receive from Sir Robert Peel will be something like the celebrated declaration of Mr . Canning , " that three war ships are now on their way to chastise Jonathan and to assert ova rigut to tho Oregon territory ; " but Jonathan remembers the old story , — " Catch a weazel asleep , and shave his eyebrow . "
Poland . —The tyrants have not yet succeeded in subduing the rebellion of the natives against their tyrant usurpers ; and , however the unholy triple alliance may remain in quiet possession of Cracow , we hope and trust that the attempt at national regeneration now spreading throughout the land will be ultimately successful ; and , should it even fail now , we trust that a universal , not s . mere national association , will be established , entitled
Poland ' s regeneration society , and that the work will go on incessantly , until th « great object of Poland ' s regeneration is accomplished .
TUESDAY . Legislation . —The variety of our legislation must be amusing to foreigners : wo read of railways and fever in Ireland , coercion and paper-staining , Irish Arms Act and horrors of the Poor Law Amendment Bill , murders of rich individuals , and of thousands of poor but unprotected Irishmen , almost in the same breath ; and eager as the new school o ! political economists may be to inculcate the doctrine of buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market , oi the glorious spirit of rivalry and speculation , and of the honest reward of commercial industry , wo never can , and never will , enter into the philosophical consideration of those circumstances which create a class of ovenyealthy , gorging oppressors , and a class of stunted , famishing oppressed . We will continue
to preach the doctrine , because we entertain it , that no idler has a right to his dinner until every man who is willing to work for one has had a good one . The righteous rules of nature have been wholly subverted . It is cruel , nay , it is unchristian , immoral , and we will add illegal , te see fox-hunting idlers and voluptuous pleasure-hunters mocking honest poverty , and making the disparity between the idle and the industrious so gallingly striking to the latter . There is no great branch of our glorious institutions , whether in Church or State , that does not cost more money than the feeding of all the peor in England . It may be considered prosy in us , but we will repeat it until we convince every man of its truth , that one idler in each parish lias a much
larger income than is allowed for the maintenance of the remainder of the inhabitants ; that the Church property alone , if laid out in the purchase of lands for the people , would locate five millions upon two acres each—that is , would support in afiluence and comfort hard upon doubleourpopulation—TVVENTYFIVEMILLIOxNS-and spent as it is now , it produces brothels , incest , immorality , ignorance , deception , infidelity , hypocrisy , indecency , uncharitableness , lewduess , drunkenness , strife , debauchery , rape , rapine , and murder ; in fact , the State Church of England is the mother of all mischief and the father ot all crime , and we will gladly join in the establishment of an Anti-Church League , or lest that mi » ht somdasheterodwqr in the ears of the ignorant , an Anti-lithe League .
Iiie AnMY .-Io follow on this subject , there is paid for the support of an insolent , idle soldiery as much annually as would locate lour million heads otiamilies upon two acres each of the best land in Mgland—that is , twenty millions of human beings could live happily , and furnish a more extensive market than the world now presents to tho manufacturing interest as customers ; but then , oh then , the devil" wages" steps in , and they discover that if a man knew the value of nis . free labour , to make Profit , they should work all by inanimate machinery , well , be it so . We now lay down a principle which we defy mortal man to upset—it is the very opposite of free trade , it is total prohibition of every single article produced by native industry , provided the free labour market was open to that industry . Now , we'll explain . Ifovenono million heads oi families were
located upon land on lease for ever , wo would rejoice to see nothing used except what was produced , at home—that 1 % as astaple . We should wish to sec a total prohibition against all manufactures ; ami we should not object then to see machinery flying nway for twenty-four hours a day for six days in the week and we pledge ourselves , with these increased facilities of production , that its produce would be treble its present amount , in consequence of the increased ability of the free labourers to purchase it . Of course , we would not deny admission to articles of luxury , or to the importation of such articles as English industry , tho English climate , or English soil could not furnish ; while , if a fair chance was ? n , . ^ iese ' tlie exceptions would bo rare and few ihe tact is , that man , nut so much in ignorance as iit consequence of active engagement in existing pur .

suits , fancies that what he r ienjoying isa blessing , and that he enjoys it in the only mode in which it could be enjoyed , but he never thinks of j aluable ^ substitutes : thus , ' tHirty years ago , if i man was told that he never again should have a candle in his house , he would fancy himself condemned to eternaldarkness ; but gas now furnishes a very good substitute . So , with regard to travelling—if at the same period a man was told that he should never again go from London to Birmingham on foot or by horsG power , lie would despau of seeing Birmingham during-hw -natural life .

The annual amount spent upon this department , maintained for the sole purpose of being insolent to foreigners and bullyin * the natives , would also locate four million heads of " families , or twenty million individuals upon the land . Ihk London Police . —The money paid annually to these skull-cracking ruffians , these kitchen spies ami pimps , would locate two hundred thousand heads oHamihes upon the land , or one million of hitman
beings ; and , in all cases , wo estimato the land at a pound an acre . Is this a Christian country , then ? is this a civilised country , when a church , an army , and a navy receive as much annually as would pay a pouBdanaci-eior twenty . six millionac . es of land ; and winch , at two acres to a family , would locate thirteen million heads of families , and at five to a family , would maintain sixty-five millions ot a population in peace , comfort , and happiness , and make them aotunl competitors for all that our present amount of
machinery could produce ? And yet these Mftlthusians tell us that' the land is over-populated , and that the restriction on commerce act * injuriously to the working classes . Bother !—let labour protect itse . f , and England in thr « e years would be the finest country in the world , EXCEPT 1 RELMD . Now , this may not bo considered as n legitimate summary of the week ' s news ; but we contend that it is the most legitimate summary , because it is a complete answer to the horrible blasphemy preached on Monday night in tho Ilouse of Commons .
Moreover , it is precisely that description of news that we wish the working men to understand , because they must be acquainted with their degraded position , their power to elevate themselves ; and the better prospects which presont themselves from their union . The Law . — We estimate the money expended in this department , much below its real figure , at twenty millions per annum , noc a farthing of which would be necessary in a well-regulated state of society ; and this amount , at two acres to a family , would locate ten million heads of families , or a population of Ulty millions , upon the land .
Tub National Debt The Interest paid upon this debt , incurred for the preservation ot Church and State ascendancy , would locate fourteen million heads of families upon two acres each , or a population of seventy millions . Now , thoBe are all cruelties which injustice imposes upon the werking classes ; and , as they have been severally perused , we make no doubt that many a reader ]) jj S said , "Eli , but it ' s true ;" and "but it ' s shocking , " and "I never knew it before-. " Now , see what labour imposes upon itself . Druskennkss . —This item far surpasses all other * put together in amount , in injustice , and in sad result . In amount , because it exceeds the others ; in injustice , because here drunken , dissipated labour preys upon sober , virtuous industry . It is not the tyrant that oppresses here , or rather , it ia not the irresponsible tyrant—it is the unnatural tyrant
father , that oppresses his wife and children-the unnatural tyrant son , that oppresses his parents and family ; this is the most unnatural of all tyranny . Oh ! that we could spend one year ' s dissipationmoney upon locating drunkards on the soil ; and we would be satisfied , after one year ' s probation , to vest the government of the country in their hands ; because they would pass the strongest laws against a vice of whiclfthey had been the victims ; and because justice must always flow from a representation of the sober mind of the country . We assert , without fear of contradiction , that the majority in the present Ilouse of Commons owe their seats to drunkenness . We know that many readers would rather see our space devoted to murders , rapes , and police news , but this is the very depraved taste that we seek to destroy .
Poor Laws . —The money spent annually in degrading honest poverty amounts to more than eight millions a year ; a sum that , would locate four million heads of families on two acres each , or a population of twenty millions . Now , is not this a sad but true picture of the present condition of England ; and will not our friends bear in mind , that in November , 1835 , we told them , that in two years , labour could purchase the church property of the country ; in five years labour could purchase all the land of the country ? And yet , after eleven years , we are obliged thus to commence tho ABC of this system of education for them .
FOREIGN . America . —The news from America is considered unfavourable by the 'Change banditti , and the Tima has the insolence to proclaim the falsehood , that the national mind of England would prefer war mth America to any further giving way upon the part of our government . We tell the Times , and we tell the world , that the Northern Star , and the Northern Star alone , speaks the national mind , and that that mind is against war ; but if that war should be considered inevitable to preserve and uphold the league of kings , and their intervention with American nolicv . that .
however the national mind of England may regret the loss of English Jife in a struggle for monarchical ascendancy , that the English people , in such event , would rejoice in the triumph of the Republican army over English mercenaries . We tell tho Times more , thatthe English people , if indeed they constitute any portion of the nation , will neither aid nor assist THEIR GOVERNMENT in a war with America ; but , on the contrary , will present every constitutional passive resistance to such a project . We early foretold that the profligate press of England would make a money-jobbing speculation of the American news , and we wore right .
Pol&nd . —We rejoice to think , that notwithstanding the cold-blooded indifference of the English press with respect to the present glorious struggle by the Poles for the regeneration of their country , that tho English mind is about to lie aroused to a performance of its duty on behalf of this gallant nation . To-day a respectable deputation of foreigner * waited upon Mr . O'Connor , to request that he would become treasurer to the
rOLASD RSGESERAIIOS FUHD . And , however the present struggle for liberty may terminate , it is the intention of a new society ,
entitled—POUNDS REGENERATION SOCIETY , to continue their labours , in peace or in war by the publication of tracts , the diffusion of knowledge upon the history of Poland , the brutal tyranny of its oppressors , by public lectures and otherwise , and to keep up and maintain an effective agitation for this glorious purpose , iii which every officer , from the highest to the lowest , regardless of labour and danger , will be expected to discharge the duties of their several offices without fee , salary , or reward . It is useless to look to the lords and ladies , who will only move to Weippert ' s band in the cause of Poland ; they would allow the Polish serfs to hug their chains , if unrivetting them was calculated to loosen the English tetters . The hour has arrived when labour must do its own work , and fight its own battles . We rejoice to find that the veterans who are still in exile for endeavouring to give liberty to their own country arc yet alive to the cause of Poland , and in proof of which we give the following extract from the French
press : — In Paris subscriptions are being raised towards obtaining arms and rayons for the iusurgents of IMaud . The subscription li » t includes the names of ninny deputies , and amonj ; numerous other subscribers occurs the name of Arthur O'Cwmor , so well known lor the pun Ue play wl during the rebellion in Ireland .
WEDNESDAY . The Land . —The most important news of this day , at all eveats to our readers , is , thai the auctioneer who sold the property that we purchased for £ t , S 60 on Friday week , has just called to offer us TWO THOUSAND POUNDS FOR TUB PURCHASE , meaning , we have nodoubt , if we expressed a desire to sell , to . make it two thousand five hundred . However , we wil estimate our day ' s work merely at the £ 1-10 profit , and we will assi ^ :. whoever returned so much to the people ' s exchequer % one day ? Had he ottered
the . £ 2 , 500 ! we should havo rejected it ; so that we may calculate that we have done a good day ' s work for our friends . What will the brawlers say to this ? Will they now continue to din intoour ears the folly of the Chartists not being able to buy land with money as cheap as other people ? We continue to receive packages of letters congratulating us upon the first purchase of land for the people . We hope by next Saturday , the 28 th of March , to be able to astonish the weak mimls of thoso who foreboded bucIi evil things of our regeneration society .
No Vote ! no Musket !!—At length the peo ple are beginning to take up the anti-militia question , as will be seen by our subscription list of this week . As Mr . Edmund Stallwood is secretary , we have to request that all money letters fowarded to Mr . O'Connor may contain a list of details , to be handed to Mr . Stallwood , to enable him to keep hi » accounts , Mu . O'Connor and the DoNCASTEri Estate . —Itwas Mr . 0 Connor ' s intention to have visited this property on Saturday last , lie was to havft left town on Friday morning , but was seized with so violent pain under the shoulder blade , as if a sword was running through his body , as near ly to con fi ne , lum to t h e house ub to

IRELAND , Bhtan Sbert . —It will bu seen with pleasure that the English people arc resolved that tho widow and orphans of this murdered man shall not starve . There was a letter in the f / iworof Saturday , signed " R . M ., " which we take to mean REAL MURDEREK , to which we . shall devote more extensive comment , merely observing for the present that a more gross and scandnlaii * libel upon th « Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland , autl the Irish jwuple , never appeared in print , while the libeller at the same time unintentionally , ni > doubt , acquits geery of the murder , aud saddles himself as an accessory after the- fact , and ,
consequently , is a principal , fey all accessories , in cases of murder , are principals . The Times , true to i 4 s savage calling , is doing more than everthe Orange Association attempted—to get up a NO POPERY cry in England . Not a number that does jiot teem witk palpable falsehood , with lying abuse of the Catholic priesthowl , and with vituperative deinuseiation of Brsland and the Irish . The conductors of this journal sent an English special pleader to report upon the state of Ireland , who actually didn't know whether aealf was under his bed or in the street , and finished h » labours , as they were intended , by an individual squab ble witli a political opponent . We'll meet those fel-Iowb once more at Phillipi ,

Cosciuatios Uali ,. —Irish ignorance of the English ' mind was never more manifest than in the speech of a Mr . Mitchell , an attorney ,, who iook the chair at the last meeting in Conciliation Hall . In speaking ot the Traea ' abuseofMr . O'Brien , this attorney saysv ' it is an indox- of the Englislvfeeling towards Ireland ;" iNow , he knows no more of the English mind than a hedgehog knows of theology , but k « did know thafc . apartofthetaebics of Conciliation Mall is to keep * the Irish mind ia a state ofisiior-ai . ee as to Englishfeeling . 'If he knows anything ,. he might have knownthat the English people actually fei-t more for the-Irish than they do lor themselves * aad that they " have bestirred themselves more on Irish than on English subjects . Where , we would' ask , were thepatriots while poor Seery was being leyiUiy murdered , « and while i \ aNorthern Star was-proclaiming , that if he was tried a second time ke would be murdered ? - ' What have they done for the victim ' s family ?
Mr , Grattan said ,. " that the present policy of the English press was to hunt down nil who-struggled for Irish nationality . " ftow , we tell Mr . Grattan that the policy of tiie Irish patriots is to hunt down all who fight the battle of Ireland otherwise than by obtaining scats in Parliament and ssrewitig money out of the s-tiw'viri ) , ' Irish . The Northern Star has done more fur Irish libert y , than the whole ot the Irish press put together , and Mr . Grattau knows this : but he owes his return for the county of Meath to tlie suppression of the fact , and the withholding from tlie Irish the real state of English feeling . We don't know what business these men can possibly hiive to talk about what they ars culpably ignorant of , or to withhold knowledge that-would be serviceable to the Irish .
Coi-RWON . —The patriots are now wrath . about the Coercion Bill ; while , the moment it was mentioned in the Queen ' s speech , we invited th « m to come to England to defeat the minister who dared to propose it . We now tell the people of lreland ,. that if the Coercion Bill increases the Repeal rent , every-patriot who lives upon it will bless it in . his-heart ; but , thank God ,, the Irish people will have an . opportunity of having it denounced from the altan- one day ia every week The Rent for the week , including £ 100 'from-New York , amounted to £ 249 .

INDIAN CORN . The importation ot Indian Cum , which is goi . ng on both in England and Ireland , will grove of little service in alleviating the wants ot the poos ,, unless they be informed of tlie best methods-of preparing it for food . This information it is now iu our power toafford j . ths following receipts having been kindly forwarded to us-from Noi th America . Indian corn when , ground makes- excellent gruel , prepared in the same wav as oatmeal gruel ; and what is called mush , is the same thing us LaiiCnshircoutincal . porridge ; but it is aesessury in making , this , that it bo very well boiled . In summer it is eatan cold and is-very much liked . Treacle may be eaten with this ..

This- must be baked in well , greased tins , sufficiently largo-to allow the cakes-to beabout an inch thick ;' tbey raust . be baked in . a . quick- oven . They are best eaten . liot , but aix very good cold .. Treacle is excellent with these . W'heu . sour milk oaunot be procared , fresh milk may be substituted , adding , a table spoonful of vinegar ; but the carbonate of soda must not be stirred in until just before putting , into the oven .
