KI » . — ^ eljavetecdyedthefollowing : — \ " Sir , —As jour columns are e « r open &f the exposure i Of injustice in any snaps , I have thought fit to s ; ni , yon a case which I hope joa will , ^ eetatfdrthy of laser- ' tion . which is briefly this ., a few friends of the new Views < f godi ^ aijfopoanded by Bobert Owen , were SPtious to have two lectures on the shore subject , and String engaged the serrices of Mr . Cooper , S . M . of Edinburgh , application was made to Baillie Goodfellow for the Town-hall , which was laid before the town conuril and refuted , on the ground of its being an immoral system ; from which it would appear the ; tare examined the subject , out of which , I hesitate not to say , tbcj are totally ignorant . Sow , Mr . Editor , the Town-hall has been let for all parties , from the •* " ^_ . ~ »«» . ¦¦ - - i
itinerant play actor to the passive-obedience spouter , tut refused to the adiocate of Socialism , whose end and aim is to fully develope the faculties of man phisically , mentally , sad morally , so as to produce * greatly superior character to what lie has hitherto borne ; to produce and Aiftribate justly all binds of wealth , which would banish poverty , and th « faar of poverty , from the abodes of man , by the establishment of horn * colonies upon scientific principles , combining land , labour , capital , and skilL Our friends subsequently applied for , and obtained , the subscription-rooms ; bat the lecturers were bo sooner announced than some extra-pious souls took the alarm , went to the landlady and told her what a horrible thing she had done in letting her room for such a purpose , and that they would rather pay her double the sum than that she shonld let the room to the Socialists . The landlady fearing it mi ght hurt her interests , sent for the persons
who took the room , and begged that they would ewe it « P . who , out of respect for her , consented , On th » gwrandfliat she should pay the bills . Sir , we have the sabrfaction of knowing thatagreat portion of the public are thoronghly disgusted at the cowardly and intolerant conduct of those pious busy bodies . ' Bichabd Harris , Hawick , March 17 , 1846 . " Tetebaji Patriots' akd Exiles' Widows' akd Chil-JOEs ' s Funds . —I beg to acknowledge the receipt of 19 a . from Mr . Sand Craw , Denny , Stirlingshire , Scotland , My own lecture at the Hall , Turnagaiu-lane , last Sunday night , afterpayment « f expenses , left 5 s . 64 . for the two funds . Our weekly disbursements to the recipients of the two funds now amount to £ 2 . I just give this hint , that » may be understood how needful it is every true Chartist shauld exert himself to raise the support that is necessary . —Thomas Cooper , 134 , BlackfriatVroad .
W . C , Glasgow . —The husband can claim tht effects of the wife . The friend * of the wife eannot claim anything . There may be a different law , howeter . im Scotland . CtoHASL—It was a mistake in last weeVs Star , when it was stated that Mr . O'Connor would be in Oldham on Easter Monday ; it shouldlm * been that Mr . O'Connor mil lecture in the forenoon at Oldham on Easter Sunday , and Mr . M'Grath wfll lecture there on the erenimr f the same day . Thomas Cure , Lodchbobocgh . —We would be much obliged to him for the report of the Commissioners on
the condition of the Framework-knitters of Leicester . AC 0 S 6 TAKT Subscribes , Staleibmdge . —We think ha may now take a little cot without the fear of being fentehered . TCuus Kxotc . es , Fairinton . —The allotments will consist of two , three , and four acres , irrespectrre of the ground the house and offices stand upon—that is , that there will be two acres of land to bg cultivated . Richard Haheb , Radcliffe-bbidge . —We feel assur « d that he will not impose upon us for withholding the publication « f his letter- , he must see that , with the best possible intention , and while he hat our best thanks for Mb kindness , that to continue the controversy would but leadto endless squabbles .
Ibe Chartists of the Toweb Hamlets axd Mb . O'Cokkor . —Mr . O'Connor begs to acknowledge the motion and amendment proposed at the Whittington and Cat , thanks them for it , and begs in reply to say that he will be gmdedby the motion , while , if not Withheld from publication by their request , it should haTe appeared in the Star . Mr . O'Connor is glad to find thatit is impossible to create dissension between these who are determined to act like man and wife . J . Smith , Bradford . —Mr . O'Connor would hate much pleasure in accepting the invitation of his friends to tea , on Easter Tuesday , were it not for other previous engagements ; daring the following week he will hare great pleasure in paying them a visit . Ihohas Rejisteb , Wisbbach . —All monies for the Anti
Militia Association should be addressed to Feargus O'Connor , 16 , Great Windmill-street , ' Haymarket , London . The association still goes on , and if its continuance is not necessary alimonies w ill be returned to the contributors ; however , it is our conviction that the militia will be embodied as soon as the great commercial Biasareshave passed . J . C . Hcll . —We know nothing whatever of Mr . Hugh Carlisle ; and , unlike that gentleman , we are too just to give opinions upon those we know nothing of . However , for the protection of the Chartist cau « e in Hull , in which it appear * he isbusying himself , we will state , word for word , the opinion of Mr . Doyle , of the Executive , of that gentleman . We were present when Mr . Wheeler asked the members of the Elficutire if
they knew anything of a Hugh Carlisle , from Belfast , when Mr . Doyle replied— "Ob , is it that fellow ! I know enough of him . Inevermetinchamautodrink whiskey—I declare I think he would drink a quar t at a draught He is a very dangerous fellow ; he did all the mischief he eould at Belfast , and I was obliged to request the Belfast Chartists to get rid of him . He is a most unprincipled fellow , and if they write to Belfast about him , they'll soon hear enough . Toushould caution theChartists of Hull against that fellow . " The Chartist Exiles . —We have received several communications relative to Mr . Duncombe ' s motion for the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones . It ii impossible for us to find room for these communica tions in full , we therefore briefly notice them : —
James Maw , Middesboro ' , writes that a petition was sent from thatplace to Mr . Buncombe , with 1 , 400 signatures . All theininisters of religion were applied to for their tajnatures , but aO . refused . All the employers also opposed the petition , andwoulinotaUowittobe seen in any of their " works . "—H . A . Donaldson , Warwick , writes that he got up a petition seven feet long , and more than half the persons who si gned it were of the ultra-Tory party . The general feelingin Warwick is stronglyin favour of the exiles . One of themembers , Sir Charles Douglas , voted against the motion . This Douglas was returned by the Tory influence of the Earl of Warwick ; ne has recently ratted to the ministerial free-tradejside , and Mr . Donaldson well says , that" ingratitude to a former patron , and servile obedience to
present employers , constitute the parliamentary qualification" of Sir Charles Douglas . Mr . Donaldson addresses a letter to the ex-Tory misrepresentative of Warwick , which we are sorry we have not room for . Hr . Donaldson concludes his letter by promising Sir Charles Douglas to rote against him at the next election . —The Merit vr Tydril Ctartirts hare passed a Tote o £ thanks to Mr . T . C . Ingram , of Abergavenny , for his exertions in beiiab : of the exiles . —M , Jude , Newcastlenpon-Tyne , states that two petitions were sent from that town , the first having 5 , 000 , and the sscond 2 , 000 signatures—total 7 , 000 signatures . The Newcastle mends regret the failure of Mr . Duncombe ' s motion , eut will rapport any future movement with increased eHrtions . —William Mnir , LUnUthgow , writes that a petition was sent from thatplac . with 880 signatures . The liulithgow friends will support the proposed National Convention . —Mr . Sweet , Nottingham , sent us
copies of the replies of the two member * of that town in answer to the request that they would vote for Mr . Buncombe ' s motion . As the letters eould only have appeared in this paper after the motion was disposed Of , it is Unnecessary to gire then . now enough that we state that Sir John Cim Hobhouse declined to support the motion , and Mr . T . Gisborne promised to voU for it . A reference to the division list will show that the Nottingham members voted in accordance with their replies . —Geo . Holloway , Kidderminster , writes that on making application to W . B . Best , Esq ., th « Mayor , for his signature , his " worship" flaw into a passion , and in reference to Frost said : — " No , damn him , he ought to be burnt—he wanted to destroy other people ' s property * " His " worship" charitably added that "hehoped they [ the exiles ] would stop whure they were for ever . ' " They certainl y do elect some queer brutes for mayors in Kidderminster , if this is their Best specimen!— " A sincere Chartist" writes that the
rejection or Mr . Buncombes motion should induce the people to at once farm an election fund for the purpose of infusing good blood into the House of Commons , and thereby obtain the return of the exiles , and ultimately the enactment of the Charter . Our correspondent who mitesfrom Frescott says , he knows at least of ten real Chartists who would subscribe twenty shillings for so necessary a purpose . —' 'An Observer of the Times" should have written his letter so that the compositors might have uied it . He draws a just parallel between Hampden and John Frost , and concludes by expressing his satisfaction at the progress of the Ten Hours'Bill , and the purchase of the people ' s estate by the Chartist Land Society . He hopes for Mr . O'Connor ' s success at Edinburgh when opposing the "great criminal" llaahiley . —We must decline Mr . Araottrs poetry on the speech wf Sir K . lLInglis . The
old bigot is not worth the trouble « f castigating . —Sir John Hope , M . P . for the county of Edinburgh , was mitten to by the inhabitants of George ' s Mills , to support Mr . DuBcombe ' s motion . He refused , but did not « nd his reply until the motion had been disposed of . G&EEKVICH AKD DeptfoRD Chartists . —If our friends are in doubt as to the presentation of thtir petition bj Admiral Ihmdas , they should write to him for an explanation . H *~ Mabskh ' s Hosmatiok tor thb ExBcravE—We nominated for the oEceof member of the Exwutivefor the ensuing year . 1 happen , not t » bave seen the Star this week , butif whatlnaveheard be true , I will thank JOU to just COD . TCJ to the Star office my wish that they would , through its medium , inform my friends that I most respectfully , but determinedly , decline t * allow
myself to stand the election . In zay letter to you last week I informed you that ire had again voted for the continuancein office of the present Executive ; and in ti > e present state of Cfcartism , I cannot help thinking th » t it would be either foolish or worse to attempt to change thuse now at the head , so long as we have no reason to complain of their conduct . Tours truly , « . SABSMBi . —Prcston , March 23 rd . "

CAOTsirrras asd joisias . —We received , on Thursday a very length y aMre | g .. To fte Operttire Carpenter | and Joiners of Great Britain and Ireland , " signed by Samuel Marriott , Nottisgham . So lengthy a document should have been sent to this office earlier in the week , we can now onl y notice it . The " address" defeuds Trades' combinations of workmen , and shows that combinations exist extensively araongit the pririleged classes ; as , forinstance . the Shipowners' Society , Bankers' Societ y , Attornies Society , "Licensed .
Victualler * ' Society , the Carlton and Reform Clubs , and , lastly , the society of Master Builders , recently organised at Manchester for the purpose of resisting the just demands of the operatives . The workmen are appealed to , to trust only to themselves , and to unite together for their protection . It is an imperative duty oa all operatives to support tkeir Manchester brethren with full and efficient pecuniary aid , so that the conspiracy of the masters may be defeated , and the Operatives' Union ba preserved . The addresB thus concludes : — "One word to those who have no
principle , and who , in case of strikes , go to the scene of the straggle and threaten to go to work if not bought off . The turnout ? , through fear , coax and compromise with such base characters . Good heaven ! a fellow who would threaten such a deed is of no wor th to either master or men . Such characters tramp from one place to another ; they do not like work , and , therefore , shonld have no aisistance from honest men . We hope the union will consider this , and act with judgment ; for let it be remembered , that he who threatens treason is , in heart , a traitor . When our brethren of Manchester have triumphed ever thtir tyrannical employers ( and that they will at no distant period ) , what will become of the poor heartless creatures who have thus betrayed their fellow workmen ? The finger of scorn « ffl be pointed at them whithersoever they go : they will be miserable outcasts of society . "

MONDAY . *'" " ~? srr : Lord Morar Edgscuhbb ok Frbk TttibB .-It i » always refreshing to be able to direct attention to anything sensible Irom a class whose usurped rights and privileges stand as a good substitute for sound sense . Lord Mount Ldgcumbe has decidedly written one of the most sensible letters we have read for a longtime : so sensible and pertinent to the subject , as well as prophetic of what will occur , and declaratory of whit may follow Sir Robert Peel ' a measures , that we publish it at full length , and invite strict attention to it , with this comment , that the great improvements in manufacturing science , so rapidly
adopted by all connected with trade , furnishes a proof of the cupidity rather than of the ability or philantrophy of speculators ; while at the same time Lord Mount Edgecumbe has fallen into the old error of altogether omitting to notice the unequaldistribution of the profits made by those who so actively and speedily adopt all the newest improvements in machinery . This part of the subject does not appear to have struck his lordahip with the great importance attached to jt . We deny the right of a class , by ability , activity , and speculation , to absorb an amount of what is injustice national property , to their own 8 ole use ; and we again contend not only for the justice but the expediency of subduing all sources of national revenue to the requirements of the whole people ; and , however they may spring from class , or even individual speculationas soon as they become
, a portion of the staple of the country they become legitimately taxable for the necessitiegof the state . It is as unjust that one class should perish by the cupidity , or even by the ability , activity , and speculation of another class , as that they should be mown down by the scythe of the oppressor . If the agricultural labourers of England have suffered from the in&tteution and ignorance of the landlord class , that is no reason why the manufacturing class should be more submissive under suffering created by the activity , ability , and speculation of the steam-lord class . Upon the whole , however , as we observed before , the letter of Lord Mount Edgecumbe is very creditable to an English Peer , who has hitherto thought that his distinction and prosperity depended not upon his attention to the condition of those beneath him , but upon his prescriptive superiority and exclusive privileges .
Morrison ' s Railway Pill . —The motion of Mr . Mormon , for a Committee of railway review , must have an astounding effect upon all railway property , and may result in subduing this branch of national wealth also to national purposes ; however the labours of the committee may terminate , one thing at least is certain , that the extensive criticism to which his project will subject all railway concerns , muBt have the inevitable effect of creating another railway panic ; indeed , the rapid decline of prices , in almost every line , is a foretaste of what speculators have to expect . Our readers will remember , that we have always contended that railroads should be national property , and should be made subservient to national wealth and public convenience , instead of constituting
a monopoly for speculators ; and it is not at all unlikely tbat the investigation which Mr . Morrison has succeeded in opening , may end with government buying up the present lines , and making railway travelling so cheap , that the working-classes may live in wholesome air in the country at a distance ol twenty miles from their work , and pay rent for a healthful cottage , and go and return from their work at a cheaper rate than they can row occupy a stinking hole in the back slums of unhealthy towns . Trade . —From all manufacturing towns in the kingdom we have mournful accounts of the depression of trade , the addition to the unwilling idlers , and
the general despondency of the working-classes . This is in general a period of the year to which the operatives look for increased activity , as a means of wiping off their Christmas score ; so that , when the shopkeepers begin to consider , what we have often told them , that an empty till on Saturday night makes an ugly wife on Sunday morning , they will then believe that men employed are better customers than idlera ; and that cast-iron men , mules , and spinning jennies , never walk into their shops on Saturday night for tea , sugar , bread , beef , bacon , tobacco , hats , bonnets , shoes , clothes , or any other article used by man .
Mosey Market . —Notwithstanding the ten lines brought to the Times oificeto-day by TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH PROM MARSEILLES , announcing OUR VICTORY over the Sikhs , Consols , af . er a short rally of an eighth , tumbled down rapidly to their previous low figure , 96 . The city men , no doubt , are good Christians , and require something more than such a text as
DEFEAT OF THE SIKHS . Their education has taught them to expect a long sermon upon so important a text , and even the salute of twenty-one guns tired at Bombay in hononr ot OUR TRIUMPH , will not reconcile them to the absence of the usual lengthy details . They must have the list of the killed and wounded , what the Governor-General said , how he locked , and what lie thought , and what the army did , and all about it , be fore they believe the state of things furnishes wholesome prospects , wholesome speculation for investment in blood-money .
IRELAND . Another of the Best Landlords ix the World . —A Mr . Pierce , of Carrick , has been murdered , on his return from attending a road sessions . To the English people , who do not understand the detail grievances of which Irishmen have to complain , it may not be unnecessary to state that even under the improved grand jury law these road sessions are amongst the most fruitful sources of jobbing , injustice , and irritation . Under the old grand jury law the squires fed their pimps , their dependents , their bastards , their creatures of all sorts , their animals , and even themselves , upon road jobbing ; indeed , we have known many a man who , without any other description of property in the world , has made from
£ 3000 to £ 4000 a , yeat by toad jobbing . We have kuownparsonsoffourcontiguousparisheswhorealised between them over £ 4000 per annum by this species of traffic , in county taxes , called county rates , paid by tha farmers . We have known £ 3000 voted for a job which never was performed ; and when the reader understands that over a hundred thousand pounds has been levied as county rates in one year in the county ot Cork , he will not say that it is a trifling grievance to those wko pay it . In the next accounts of this transaction , we shall no doubt hear from the hired correspondents of the London journals that the mind of the neighbourhood is perfectly at a loss to discover any cause whatever for the murder of this the very best of landlords , the kindest of neighbours , and , if a justice , the peor man ' s magistrate . Well , we may be asked if we are justifying this system of assassination . Just as much as we justify coercion ,
until the causes which lead to assassination are first destroyed . The present Coercion Bill is a declaration of war against Ireland : and we cannot consistently or feelingly eensure the Irish serfs who resort to savage revenge as the only means of procuring justice , while we sympathise with the brave Poles who are physically struggling against tyranny , against which they have petitioned and remonstrated in vain . We say , and we defy contradiction , that the government which sanctions the cause , who are aware of its evil tendency and inevitable result , and not the poor Irishman who seeks justice from the law in vain , is guilty of every murder that has been committed . We receive severe , indeed insolent , strictures upon our denunciation of the tyranny of the upper classes in Ireland . Many friends and relative ! have even done us the honour to cut our acquaintance , for no other reason ; but yet , if we lost EVERY
SUCH FRIEND , AND EVERY RELATIVE IN THE WORLD , we will , in spite of all , still persevere in denouncing the real murderers . The "Times" and the "Nation . "—The Times is in a perfect phrenzy at the -Nation and the freeman DARING to publish a statistical account of English murders , and , whimsically enough , would upset all the fair reasoning of those journalsupon the addresses of the several Irish Judges to the grand juries in theit respective counties , upon one passage in Judge Ball ' s address to the grand jury of the county of Tipperary , not delivered until after the summary of those journals had been made up ; and the Timct , ludicrously enough , makes a parade of the fact of Mr . Justice Ball being a Catholic . We have often
asserted , and we now repeat , without any the slightest reflection upon Mr . Justice Ball , that a bad Catholic is worse than a bad Protestant . If a judge , and at all biassed , he proves his impartiality by marked hostility to those of his own faith . If a juror , he is afraid of the censure of his Protestant associates ; and if a middleman , he justifies his tyranny upon the principle that he has a right to do as he likes . with his own . If an Englishman commits wholesale murder , he is sure to ba insane ; if an Irishman fires wide of the mark , with INTENT NOT TO KILL , he is a Papist , Ribandman , White Boy , murderer , demoralised and blunted by the teaching of his profane pastor and horrible religion . One murder mtkes a villain , Millions a hero .
Johnstone , though he fell short of the heroic number , is fed better and has more liberty than the unwilling idler ; while Seery , whom the real murderer tells us did not intend to kill his victim , is % murderer .
f OBBleN < Ihe bnghsh press is beginning to find out , that bo far from free trade policy leading to a pacific understanding upon the Oregon question , that it is likely rather toleadto a rupture between the Northern and Southern States , in which the war party considerably preponderate . Our readers should bear in mind that , in the outset , we stated that in the question of war between England and America all minor considerations would be merged into the all-absorbing thought of nationality and hatred to England , and everything that we hear upon the subject but serves to confirm us in our view ; and , however tho unsettled state of affairs and parties in England may cause the Peel administration to play fast and loose with the war question , at present no rational man can entertain a doubt that Jonathan is panting for an opportunity to measure swords with the English aristocracy ; for we hold that the English people will r ..

nothght against American demO 3 racy and in favour of oligarchical oppression . TUESDAY , The Pro tectionists AJiD Mb Minmer . - The Protectionists , as we predicted , and as Lord George Bentinck announced , are still determined to fight tkebattle from " pillar to post . " Left without a leader in the onset , they were obliged to fight in divisums without concert , in fact , compelled to carry on a ]"« T- de sultm war against the combined force ot Whig and Tory . MileB undertook the command ol the grand army of Protectionists , but aince then it has been divided into sections and reserve . Lord George Bentinck , to tho astonishment of all , has led on the right wing with extraordinary ability ; while the Marquis of Worcester has feebly commanded the left ; and last night , Mr . Elliot Yorkfij representing the Cambridgeshire farmers , boldly brought the reserve into action . We prognosticated that neither . j «™ , _ .. ...
the threatened famine in Ireland , nor all the threatened danger to trade iu England , would intimidate the Protectionist army from protracting this war of life and death ; and upon the motion , last night , that the Bill be read a second time , Mr . Yorke moved , as an amendment , that it be read that day six months ; while , on Friday last , Lord Stanley , on presenting some petitions against the measure , took the opportunity of expressing a hope that their lordships would throw the measure out altogether . We again notice the details of the measure here for the purposei of confirming an opinion that we expressed early in the Protection war relative to the length to which the landlords would go rather than abandon their privileges , and to prove that they would look upon mere Chartist physical force language as" soft sadair , " and which we shall sub stantiate by a few extracts from Mr . Yorke ' s speech " He
said-He had received a communication from a gentleman of great experience , who expressed his conviction that if the measure of her Majesty's government was adopted , ( he value of property would be reduced one-fourth , and the demand for labour would be curtailed to the extent of one-third ; and that the general effect of the measure would bo to reduce wages from 20 to 25 per cont ., to lower tenants' profits , aud to prevent the continuance and extension of the improved system of cultivation , whi « n was now very generally adopted . He was a ! soacqua ~< i ? . £ with a casein which a farmer , who was about to dt . i . a a large portion of his farm , had stopped his operations when the right hon . baronet ( Sir 11 . Peel ) brought forward this measure , becautt he was satisfied that if the
proposition was adopted , it was impossible for him to obta . n a return for the outlay he was about to incur . That . arvaer al « o expressed his belief that by next harvest wheat would be between 40 s . aud 45 s . a quarter , that the wages of labourers would be considerably roduced , and that many of them would be thrown out of employment , aud compelled to take refuge in the union workhouses , The above was the opinion of a farmer , who will , no doubt , risk something for the preservation of his capital ; and now we come to the consideration of the influence of the measure upon the agricultural labourers , and the description of resistance which their landlords tolerate iu the House of Commons . He proceeded thus : —
He had received a cummunication from a poor , but intelligent man , who said that iu the neighbourhood from which he wrote there was not a village iu which the people w « re not ready to assert , by brute force , if neews-« ary , thsir right to taste of the fruits of their own labour ; and he added that every village in the vicinity wai ripe for outrage at the fir 6 t reduction of wages . He assured tue house that great apprehensions existed in the agricultural districts as to the effects of tliii measure ; and he held the right hou . gentleman ou the Treasury bench respomibls for occasioning those apprehensions . Now , we ask how sueh an announcement would have been received by the Commons of England , if made on behalf of the working classes looking for their rights ? What , we should be glad to knowwould
, have been the feelings of Mr . Yorke , and in what words would he have expressed his indignation , if upon the appeal of three millions and a half of Eng . lishmen , who thought they had a right to Uste the iruits of their ovra labour , Mr . Buncombe had read a letter FROM A POOii BUT INTELLIGENT MAN , stating " that every village in the vicinity was ripe for outrage at the lirst reduction of wages ?" Woulu not Mr . Yorke , in such case , be the first to sanction the Whig governmentin arming the tenants ol Mr . Yorke against uhe operatives complaining of the reduction o » wages ; and can we now do less than rejoice that Mr . Yorke has been bitten by one of the pack which he and his associates have so unmercifully hounded upon those who remonstrated against
a reduction of wages , but who never said they were ripe for outrago to resist the infliction ? It is the melancholy fate of oppressors that they cannot give the legitimate weight to truth , because they have so often resisted its influence when proclaimed by others . Mr . Yorke now knows that rents will be diminished by one-fourth , and that labour will be diminished by a third , and , he might h »/ e added , that poor-rates would be doubled ; buc when we told the very same thing five years ago , in our letters to the Irish landlords , his ohiss were too insolent , overbearing , and confident , to receive truth from the only source through which they could acquiw it ; and now that they suffer from their ignorance we cannot sympathise with them . Mr . Yorke ' s farmer told him
that by next harvest wheat would be from 40 s . to 45 s . a quarter ; we tell him that it will be under 3 os . a quarter , and we tell him that that , and that only , will bring him and farmers to a sense ef their duty to the poor slaves whom they have so long oppressed . As to his agricultural serf ' s being ripe lor outrage , we would caution him to take warning bv the terrible example set by the Austrian government in Gallicia , and to take care , lest the strife encouraged for one purpose may not be directed to the accomplishment of another . If the strife commences it will not cease until his brother ' s ( the Earl of Hardwicke ' s ) estate is once more restored to its
legitimate purposes—the support of the poor , and ' THEIRUlCrllT TO TASTE OF THE FRUITS OF THEIR OWN LABOUR . " These were the words of the correspondent of Mr . Yorke , and these are the purposes to which the next strife will be directed . Upon the whole , we were not far out when we named May , and not the beginning of the month either , as the earliest period at which the measure to relieve Ireland from famine would be brought to a close . Neither the Lords nor Commons , except in as far as hunger is threading to the lives of their order , would care three straws if tha English and Irish people were dying of plaguopestilenc » and
, , famine . ----.. Share MARKET . —The shares are still looking down ; and , if he doesn't look sharp , the Draper King ( Hudson ) will turn out to be no king at all , after all .
T , „ IRELAND . Lord Grey brought forward his remedies for the grievances of Ireland last night in the House of Lords , upon the pretext that the removal of the causes which rendered coercion necessary , should , at all events , follow the enactment of that hellish measure , flow often has it fallen to our lot to assert , that every single Tory assault upon liberty was justified , as far as precedent can justify tyranny , by some previous act of Whiggery . This said nobleman , so crooked in mind , as we before observed , that if he swallowed a twelrepenny nail it would come out a corkscrew , is endeavouring to follow in his father ' s footsteps . The late Earl Grey more than once succeeded in achieving office by his professions in beliall
of Ireland ; and suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act , or some such boon , was invariably the reward given for Irish support , until he characteristically wound up hiB claim to Irish affection by the BASIi . BLOODY , and BRUTAL COERCION BILL . Now , surely the present Earl does not suppose that either the English or the Irish people have forgotten that he wasoue of his lather ' s Cabinet , who trampled the ordinary law under foot , and substituted trial by court martial ! He cannot forget that at that period justice to Ireland was promised when coercion had tranquillised the country ; and although coercion , court martial , transportation , and the worst description of maitial law , that tender justice of a spy police force , was hurried through the house ; d the
analthough government of which he was a member subsequently rejoiced and congratulated the c TiiL y Tn tranquillising ettect of the boon , yet , that although the causes of discontent were the same as now , not a single one of those causes have been removed to the present time . Away , then , with such humbugging nonsense in the present distracted state ot factions ! The Whig expectants will bid for Irish support through patronage offered to Irish place-hunters and pensioners , but not through justice to the Irish people . The patriots do not want to kill the goose with the golden egg ; " they hail every grievance as a good cry , and mourn over the destruction of every "rung" in their political ladder .
Famine . —The tyrants , with enough to eat of the produce of other men ' s labour , have now the audacity to d » ny that such a thing as famine theatens Ireland , and that there is no deficiency in the potatoe crop . We give them this bit of information , of which they stand much in need . The fact of there being an abundance of potatoes in the Irish markets at this particular season of the year , when the supply is usually scanty , is no proof of an abundance being iu the country . 'I'he fact of their being cheap , which they are not , would be no proof , and for this simplo reason—those who have them are afraid to keep them , and when scarcity does come , it will come like an electric shock , when the whole store has been simultaneously exhausted . One fact is worth a
bushel of argument . We requested a friend , who lately visited Ireland , and has just returned , to procure for us eight stone weight ot four descriptions of seed ; and with the assistance of our steward , and the neighbouring farmers , well inclined to serve us , for three weeks he could not procure that amount of those in most general use . We visited a nursery and marketgarden ground belonging to a person at Fulham yesterday , for the purpose of arranging for the purchase of a number of two-year-old quicks for the use oi the Land Association , when we saw several bushels of potatoes strewed upon a heap of dung , and on remonstrating upon the waste , tho nurserymau
Untitled Article
told us that he had Iosfc eig ht hundred bushels by the disease . Now , for another worUof information upoi , the subject . The - potatoes are dug in Ireland usually about the month « f ,, Nflvember ; they are then pitted and covered up with straw , witha tootand a halt , or two feet , of earth packed over them in the shape o the roof of a house ; those pits are seldom opened till the planting season , which ia just now . EnouglMor the use of the family , for a few months , is reserved in a " chamber" and more are deposited in a smaller p it for the use of tho house ; but the general crop lor sale , for seed , for spring anJ summer consumption , stored in the large pit . Hence , the farmers have generally remained in ignorance as to the state of their general crop from November till March , and . .
even now many are actually afraid to open them ; and in nine cases out of ten , where they have been opened , the farmers have discovered that the potatoes , which appeared generally sound in November , are now wholly gone , or nearly so . This is not the only misfortune—this calamity not only affeets the tenant and the labourer , but it has also caused the death of thousands of landlords . A poor Irish labourer very truly calls his pig THE LANDLORD . It is the pig that keeps the house over his head . The peasants boil the apparently less diseased potatoes for the pig , and carelessly throw the worst at the door ; the pig , as a matter of course , eats even the worst , and great destruction amongst the swinish multitude is the consequence . Add to these simple understandable facts , not communicated by the government
commissioners , the press , or by the debates in Parliament , we must sorrowfully state that scores of acres in the most luxuriant parts of the county of Cork remain undugto the present day . Now then , with these factB , which ought to be known to those who undertake to govern the country , we a 9 k , if the present calm state of Ireland , aye , quiet , quiescent , submissive state of the Irish people , compared with the torture they suffer , can justify county members , to whom the grievance must be familiarly known , in resisting for a single night , nay , for an hour , those measures which promise temporary relief ? Much is made of an Irish murder ; but where is the sympathy for a starving nation of grateful , hi spitable , brave people , wh" 80 nerve andesurage were obliged to be called into action in India to save the character of England . " rom ignominous defeat ?
FOREIGN . Spain . —The devil Narvacz , that bespattered the walls of Madrid with the brains of the brave sergeants and soldiera , has again succeeded in installing himself as dictator ef Spain , and has commenced his new carcerprecisely as Charles the Tenth , acting under the instructions of Polignae , commenced his in 1830 . He has dissolved the Cortes , and suppressed the little liberty that the press hat ) . Of course the English press would die in a paroxysm of grief if this heroic murderer foil by the hand of a BASE ASSASSIN .
WEDNESDAY . The Famine Dkbatb . —The famine debate is again adjourned , while the Irish people are literally dying of " plague , pestilence , and famine . " But this delay is only chargeable upon the Commons ; the noble Lords are more tender of human life , and communicated the glad tidings to Ireland last night , that the Fever Bill had received the Royal assent . Aye , go on—castor oil and coercion for ever !—good enough tor an Irish labourer ; at least , so think Saxon peers and the Saxon Queen . But we are straying , we must return to the plums of the debate . Mr . Plumtre
said—His own impression w « i , that the movement wai brought about bj what he did not hesitate to call an unconstitutional body , the Anti-Corn Law League . Other leagues would be established on the confidence of the 8 ucccB « ot this , and , having given way to this , how could they resist the Chartists , ur any other combination t Yes , Saint Plumtro , your saintship will find it dimcult to resist the heavy blow in store for MOTHER CHURCH and for " NATIONAL FAITH" too , as iioou m the oligarchy of England have received the blow that they have been so long provoking ; and as for the Chartists , you are quite right , we only " bide our time , " for " every dog will have Mb day , " and Bully ' s day is coming . Sure then , and man alive , didn't we always tell you , that when every ship in the fleet of faction was wrecked , that the crew wouldn ' t find a foot of ground to rest upon , except the little rock called tho Charter .
Sir J . Trollope , a good landlord , who has more than verified our calculation as to the respective rates of wages earned by the agricultural labourer and the manufacturing slave , said—During the last twenty-six years the wages he , as a landowner , had paid to his labourers , varied from 9 s . to 15 s . a-tveek . The average amount of wages was 12 s ,, and that wai the present rate , but the better class of labourers could earn a larger sum . If , however , the present bill was . adopted , the consequent restriction of cultivation would necessarily compel the farmers to reduce their expenses ; and that reduction would first b « applied to th « wages of the labourer .
Well , Sir John , we exceedingly regret that you and the other good men of your class did not make head in time against tUe great majority of laud oppressors . No ; we retract the expression oppressors , and substitute thoughtlessness , folly , want of knowledge and confidence , for we will ever contend that the landlords of England are not the oppressors that they have been [ represented . They have certainly , in their folly , enacted laws which eunning , hired barristers and ignorantinterested manufacturing , ] usticej have construed in the letter rather than in the spirit . Of course Sir John Trollope in his calculation estimates , as we did , the additional wages earned in hay time and harvest , and other busy periods of the year ; and now , where is
themanufacturorwhoenn say that his hands throughout have earned the same amount of wages even during their Bhorter working life ; and how much more healthy , satisfied , and comfortable are the labourers of Sir John Trollope than the slaves of friend Bright ? Mr . Rasbleigh , one of tho Young England party , as good a man aa breathes , said-He lived at some distance from their smoky regions ; but he could tell th « m this , that some of those very personages whom they held ia contempt were his gre&teit friends—they were friends lie should feel proud to have at his table—he meant some of the operatives in those districts they treated with so much contempt , and whom tliiy bad constantly , and on all occasions , tried to put down—the men whom they were afraid to meet in open meetings on this queBtion ,
There , tyrant capitalists , where is there one of you who wouldn ' t turn up his stinking nose at the very idea of one of the slaves who feed you , houses you , olotnes you , and warms you , coming in to your august presence ? Oh , what a ferment from the kitchen to the nursery the . announcement that an honest operative was going to honour you with his company would create ' . Suppose that Him Fiddlestick , whose father had just jumped out of the clogs and dung-cart into patent leather boots and a princely drawing-room , was aBked to play and sing for Dan Donavan , the weaver—crikey , what a shindy ! For
Miss Fiddlestick would never think that but for Dan Donavan she'd have neither piano or drawing-room . Well , we won't dwell upon these unpleasantnesses , lor , please God , they'll be only subjects of romance , surprise , and wonder for the next generation . Mr . Ra&hlcigh was quite right in saying that the League dare not weet those contemned operatives in open discussion . Again , it appears that the Protectionist army is being drilled in sections , whose work is cut out according to the taste of the respective officers . The debate upon the second reading is a compendium of the grand fight , with a spice more ol personality thrown into it .
Tub Land . —The following deserves rather more distinction than mere notice to correspondents . Bv Saturday ' s post we received a letter from Hull , informing us that some suspicious worthy , in that town , liad attempted to throw discredit upon our assurance that we were offered £ 2000 for the Rickmansworth estate . It is unfair that we should be called upon to meet mere rumour , without any evidence being offered to disprove our assertions . However , as it is difficult to prove a negative , we will give our incredulous friend the benefit of the difficulty ; and to establish the truth of what we said , we beg leave to submit tho following letter , received on Monday , for his perusal : — Bickmansworth , March 20 th , 181 C .
Sir , —The gentleman for whom we made the application as to purchasing llerringegate-farm , desires us to toy that he considers £ 2000 more than it is worth , Dut if you are willing to take £ 200 for the purchase , making £ 2060 ( two thousand and sixty pounds I ) , we are directed to make the offer . Wo shall be glad to hear from you ; and in the event of your not accepting it , have the good . aess to consider the treaty at au end . We iemain , tie , your obedient servants , Sedqwick and Son . To Feargus O'Connor , Esq . Now , what we stated was , that we were offered £ 2000 , and here is an offer of £ 2060 . Now , then , will our incredulous friend believe ua when we assure him that we have been aince offered
TWO THOUS A ND T HREE HUNDRED POUNDS ! Does this require comment ? If it does , our incredulous friend shall ; haye . the name of the bidder , who is a member of Parliament , with property in the neighbourhood . It is extremely foolish to give us these perpetual opportunities of proving iacontestibly what might otherwise appear doubtful to those who do not know us .
IRELAND Conciliation Hall . —Nothing startling occurred at the last meeting beyond the fact that the week ' s rent had dwindled down to £ 174 9 s . Murdbu of Sekhy . —Two men have been recently executed at > Longford , John Buchanan and Bernard M'Ceoy , both of whom affirmed their innocence on the scaffold ; and the Times , true to its calling , would make Us readers believe that these unfortunate men were induced to adopt this course from the example Bet by Bryan Seery . We shall not stop to contrast the two cases further than merely to ^ observe that one half of the men who are executed in Ireland are hung upon the false oaths of prejudiced policemen . We speak from knowledge , not from hearsay . We have more than once or ten times received a severe
Untitled Article
rebuke from the court for persevering in tho cross- ' examination of a wily policeman , but we have in variobly-broken down their evidence , which has - always been sent to tlio jury assome UNAG'G'OUN'IV ' ABLE MISTAKE on the part of the policeman-. However , we hate almost invariably succeeded in destroying the effect of their evidence . But now w « contrast the cases more minutely . The Rev . Mr . Savage corroborated Seery in his declaration of innocence , while the Rev . Mr . Farrell tapped Bueha- ' nan on the shoulder , and stopped him in the middle of a sentence , lest fee should die with the lit upon his lips . We treated Bryan Seery ' s case as a whole .
and so we shall this , and we venture to affirm that the Rev . Mr . Farrell and the Roman Catholic clergy of Longford will not proclaim the innocence of those two men , or endeavour to enlist universal sympathy in their behalf ; and herein is the difference—that had Seery merely declared his innocence uponthia scaffold , without having persevered in asserting it to his pastor , however we might have believed him to have been murdered , from a close perusal of the evidence , yet the Irish people , not conversant in tha knowledge of Saxon laws , however they might have sympathised with him , would not havo proclaimed their belief in his innocence , but for the assurance of the Rev . Mr . Savage .

my dear Friends , —You will learn trom tnis week's Summary that I have been offered £ 2 , 060 fer the land that cost £ 1 , 880 ; and that since then £ 9 , 300 has been offered—that ia , £ 410 more than it cost . Now , allowing that this amount locates forty-four occupants , at two , three , and four acres , each occupant will have received for ever a bonus of £ 11 for my day ' s work—because the rent will be estimated according to the amount paid , and not according to the actual value . There are two or three questions put to me , which I take this opportunity of answering . One is—why , if the land costs only £ 1815 s . an acre , the rent of two acres , with a house , is to be £ 6 ? Those who put the question could not have read the rule . % The two acres of land that costs £ 18 Ida . an
acre , with £ 15 capital , and a house that costs £ 30 in building , will be leased for ever for £ 5 a year ; but if £ 50 is expended upon the cottage , instead of JE 30 , it will be leased at £ 6 a year—that is , five per cent , upon the additional £ 20 expended upon the cottage , if the occupant pleases ; if he does not please , it need not be so , and he may have the land , cottage , and £ 15 for £ 5 a year ; but the directors are anxious to insure—firstly , domestic comfort ; and secondly , uniformity of architecture .
Now , if a man wishes to build a cottage himself , he will receive a lease short of the amount that building the cottage would require . Upon the other hand , if an occupant wishes to add £ 20 , £ 30 , or £ o 0 to the £ 30 allowed as a £ 5 cottage , he may do so . Now , I will lay down a scale tbat none can pretend to mistake . The Society proposes giving two acres of land that cost £ 1815 s . an acre , a house that cost £ 30 , and £ 15 capital , for £ 6 a year ; but as it is utterly impossible to establish a uniform price for land , or even for building , which must be regulated according to the facility of procuring materials , the Society was obliged to render a scale by which the
rent of higher or lower priced land would be regu-Iated ; thus , if we give £ 30 an acre for laud , or £ 60 , instead of £ 37 10 s ., for two acres the rent , with a £ 30 house , would be £ 6 2 s . 6 d . a year , or £ 5 per cent , upon the additional £ 22 10 s . paid for the two acres ; if we give £ 40 , or £ 80 for two acres , the rent will be £ 7 2 s . 6 d . a year ; and if we can get land , which we may yet , for £ 10 an acre , the rent fer two acreB would be but £ 4 Os . 6 d . a year , or £ 5 per cent , deducted from tho original price named in favour of the occupant . Now , no one can misunderstand that . The other Question is , whether the two acres la ex .
elusive of the ground that the house and offices stand upon ? In answer to that , I may Bay that the allotments will consist of the respective amounts of two , three , and four acres , exclusive of the ground that the house and offices stand upon—that is , th . it each occupant of two acres will have that full amount of ground to be dug . Now I have nothing further to say upon the subject , than to congratulate the Association most ' heartily upon our p : aspects , and to refer you to the proud figure of our weekly receipts . I am , my friends , "Your faithful servant , and Chartist Farmer , Feargus O'Connor ..

CoiiOS 8 EOM , Kegest's Pake , —We recently visited this magnificent exhibition , which , by the liberality of the proprietor ( Mr . Montague ) , is now placed within the reach of the industrious millions , the price of admission being reduced one-half , whilst its attractions are iu . creased . We were first introduced to the Glyptotheca , or Museum of Sculpture , in which are exhibited the finest works of our modern sculptors ; embracing every variety ofiubject from mother Eve down to Sir Fitzroy Kelly , her Majerty ' s Solicitor-General . From this we wereconductud into the Stalactite Caverm of Adelsberj , which are truly described as "tho most magnificent of all tho temples that nature has built for herself in the regions of night , " Leaving these , we found ourselves surrounded by a blaze of splendour , arising from the Illuminated
Conservatories and gorgeous Gothic aviaries , in which are to be found exotics of the most rare and costly description , and birds of the finest and most variegated plumage . The aviaries and doorg of the Conservatories being lined with plate glass , greatly magnifies the scene , and gives the appearance of one of those magic temples we read of in an eastern tale . We were next introduced to the neat and picturesque Swiss Cottage , in which those whose means and inclinations permitted , sipped their trine , while those of a humbler grade , in true Swiss style , sipped , with apparently equal reliili , their tra or coffee , as from the windows thej viewed the stupondous Mont Blanc , theMer de Glaoe , or gazed with awe on "the mighty Alpine torrent . " Returning through the elegant suite of refreshment room iato the Glyptotheca , we were ushered into the Elizabethan ascending room , and having taken our seat on a sofa , the room began to rise , and we found ourselves in a spacious gallery near the top of the
building-, gazing on that ehef ^' ceuvre of art , the Panorama of London , aa seen by night from the top of St , Paul ' s ; looking down on tin river , the bridges , the boats , the myriads of lights issuing from the numerous shop , windows , the rippling of the waters , or looking up at the fleecy clouds and silvery moon , the illusion is complete . This is not all—the moon becomes overcast , the atmosphere changed ; the rumbling of thunder is heard , the flashes of lightning become vivid , and the rain pours down in ) torr « nts . This colossal picture comprise ! an acre of canvas , and elicits the highest encomiums from people of all nations . TTe should commit an net of injustice if we did not mention the great attention paid to visitors by the attendants sitvd officers of th « ertnbnsBBent ; each appeared pleased when they added to the comfort or convenience of the numerous visitors . To our friends we would 6 ay , take au early opportunity of visiting this enchanting exhibition .
IioiAL Politicunic Institdtion . —The directors of the above establishment have given an addition to the ordinary features lately exhibited here . This attraction is some opaque microscopic portraits of several of the most distinguished loaders of the Sikhs , all but one of whom were opposed to our troops in the late battles on the Sutlej . The managers of this institution have very wisely conjectured that at thi » period , so short ); after the recent engagements in India , there would be a natural anxiety on the part of the people of this country to see what sort of beings the race are whose acts have led to so muck slaughter in our armies ; and therefore , in having selected these portraits , which have only just arrived in England , they have shewn great tact and judgment . By this means they will have afforded to tbe public an opportunity of forming tome opinion of the character of the enemy , by an inspection of their
countenances , forms , and attire . The portraits have been selected frem tbe works of a lad ; of eminent Ktistictd talent , who was resident in the Punjaub a number of years , aud her portraits are considered striking likenesses . Those which have been exhibited do not indicate , either by the peculiar cou » tru ' ction of th « face or by the expression of the eve , that great feeling of ferocity and cruelty which is stated to be thair leading characteristic . On the contrary , the majority had regular and handsome features , almost feminine , and might be classed as kindly and generous men ; thus showing how much we may at times be deceived by appearances . The instrument by which these interesting pictures are exhibiud is th « opao ua microicopa tavcuteu by lir . Longbottom . It is intended , we hear , to give a soriis of portraits of those eug » jed in the present struggle—the late Sir Robert Sale , Lady Sale , Sir Henry Hardinje , Sir Hugh Gougb , and other distinguished individuals .

Queen Pouare . —Some few years since , her Majesty Queen Victoria presented a very handsome carriage to the unfortunate Queen Po ' mare . The Polynesian , a weekly journal published at Honolulu , the capital of the Sandwich Islands , in its impression for the 8 th of November la « t , contains the iol > lovrmg announcement in reference to the royal equipage : — " Rhodes and Co . offer for sale the carriage of Queen Poraare , of Tahiti , built in England . It ib a well-constructed article , light and capacious , and well suited for a family carriage . Two sets of harness accompany it . " The editor of the 1 ' olynesian says , in relation to the above , " It will be seen that Rhodes and Co . offer for sale the carriage of this truly unfortunate , though meritorious woman . It was a prasent from her sister Queen Victoria , and is now offered for sale in order to supply the royal dame with the means of existence . She is said to bo iu very straitened circumstances , feeing entirely without revenues or other means than the charity of her friends affords . "
