L AND AND COTTAGES FOR TEETOTALLERS ONLY !!! Mr . Editor , —After nineteen years experience in building cottages for the working classes I have arrived at the conclusion that genuine teetotallers , with gooi characters , are , alone capable of remunerating landowners , builders , and capitalists , undertaking to locate them on small farras . I know that , the words 'landowners' and ' capitalists' are uttered with horror by many working men , but I have the gratification to hear , from every intelligent teetotaller , who becomes acquainted with my true character , the expression of the most heartfelt wishes : ' thatmauy landholders and capitalists would , imitnte my example !' I am now prepared to accommodate any sincere and honourable teetotaller , according to his means , with as much land as he may wish at £ 2 per acre , or with as small a tenement as ' one room and one acre of laud at £ 4 per annum , ' on this estate , which is twenty-one miles from London ; or two rooms and " two acres at £ i ¦ three rooms and three acres at £ 12 : and four rooms and four acres at £ 16 . I do not build larger cottages , but qualified parties may enter into sundry arrangements to build according to their I have also a fine estate within a 41 d . railway ride from London , and that , too , is devoted to teetotallers : but the land there is letting at £ 310 s . per acre ; and house rents are much higher than here , on account of the proximity to the metropolis . All applications for either estates must lie made to Mr . Hallett , Dibdin Hill , ChaKont , St . Giles , Bucks , ( postpaid ) and every letter requiring au answer , must contain a penny stamp to pay the postage .

' . ; ' NOTICE ! We are again under the painful necessity of making public complaint of the irregularity of our Agents . Very many of our' accounts , up to Christmas , remain unsettled ; ' and several , of those anteced ent to Christmas are yet unpaid . It is but too certain that a most ungenerous advantage is taken of Mr . O'Connor ' s acknowledged good nature , and that the Northern Star accounts are treated with a neglect that would not be ventured oh towards any other paper .
But we are finally resolved to be no longer sacrificed by unprincipled Agents ; next week we shall make a clean sweep of all defaulters ; bo that subscribers not receiving their papers will understand that it is owing to the Agents who supply them not having paid their accounts .. Wo recommend subscribers thus circumstanced to apply direct to our office . We will either instruct some trustworthy agent to serve them , or wo will attend to their orders ourselves .

RESTORATION OF THE WHIGS . The old spavined , wall-eyed , short-winded , broken-kneed hacks are again in harness , and drawing the State Coach ! That is the " most lame and impotent conclusion" of- "the Ministerial Crisis ! " Even common decency has been disregarded in the re-accession of the Whigs to power ; not the slightest concession to " appearances " has been made-Sir Charles Wood still insults the common
sense , and is to try , to his utmost , the patience of . the nation , as Chancellor of tho Exchequer . The sole alteration is , that tho venerable Whig 'h ack , Sir J . Cam Hobuousb , has been pitchforked into the House of Lords , as a " reward " for his past readiness in doing his share of the dirty work of the party—a fit reward foi such services ! The question arises , has not the whole of this been a game of political thimble-rigging played by the Premier , for the purpose of getting a new lease of office ? We can all remember the course he took last year with respect to the
African Squadron . He summoned the socalled " Liberal" Members to Downing-street , and gave them distinctly to understand , that if they voted according to their consciences he would resign , and allow tho Tories to re-impose Protection if they thought proper . The "Liberals" were frightened by the threat , and , at the sacrifice of upwards of a million sterling , have since kept the Whigs in power ; when , as events have shown , the threat was an empty one . Tor / ism is all tail and no head . It is—with ' ail its acres and titles , and pretensions—as incapuble of forming a Government , as the smiUIcst and most insignificant party whom it affects to look down upon ,
and despise . Peelisin , which has plenty of head but small tail , has—as we expecteddeclined to risk reputation aud possible-future permanent power , by all ying itself with incapable Whiggery , and the so-called " popular party . " The nominal "Radicals " ' in the House of Commons , seem to have neither tho ability of statesmen , nor the pluck of patriots . Hence the deplorable conclusion . By an exhaustive process—on which Loud John probabl y calculated—the country has again to submit to the indignity , and the calamity of being governed by a family clique , who are notoriousl y unfit for that duty , and who do not possess the confidence , esteem , or respect
of fl silicrlfi narf . v ¦ bpp ± nr nlnea nf tlin nnvnm .. of a single party ,- sect , or class of the community at iarge , with the single and sole exception of their on-haugers , and the venal expectants of office , who—like carrion crows—are ever found hovering in the neighbourhood of their prey . . , ' ., . The manner in which this result was finall y accomplished was not less remarkable than the steps which led progressively to it . After all possible combinations of the old oligarchical materials had been tried and failed , the Sovereign did not remember that , however inv perfectly they may perform their duties , there
is a party in Parliament who represent the feelings of the people , as to the necessity for an Extension of the Suffrage , National and Unsectarian Education , and a Just and Economical Financial System . She did not " send for " any of these parties , and ask them whether , within their own ranks or in combination with the more liberal and advanced statesmen of the oligarchy , they could find the dements of a popular and efficient Administration . Nothing of the kind . Such an idea , it appears , is too preposterous to be entertainedas yet , either at the Palace or the Clubs in Pall Mall , where the destinies of this great Empire we settled by the factions who assume the monopoly of Government , and who treat with
contempt the notion that the people at large ought to have any direct share in the management of their own afiairs . In her " difficulty , " the Queen turned , not to the people , whose intelligent confidence and respect , based upon tangible good Government must , at all times , form the surest aud most permanent guarantee not only of her Throne , but of all the institutions of the country . She acted , however , we suppose , upon the "traditions" of monarchy , when she turned from them , aud sought the assistance of asuccessful soldier . The " iron Duke" was the man for " tho situation ; " and he cut the Gordian knot in an extremely simple , if not satisfactory , manner , by giving the word of command— " As you were •"
Nominally he-has been obeyed . Things de , on the surface , appear as-they were ; but there are some things that defy even the potential command of the Duke of Wellington . The Whigs are like "Humpty Dumpty . " They have " had a great fall ; ' " And all the King ' s horses and all the KinVs men Cannot set Bumpty Dumpty up again " as a strong , an efficient , or a lasting Government . It is all over with them . They muBt , perforce , be tolerated for a month or two B » >_ i _ l * . T ' i' *>« - rB _ _ . J until such taxes voted
are as may ; be-deemed necessary for the . year ; but ; we very ' imuch doubt , at present , whether anything else will bo done by them , or by the present Parliament Thedaysof bothevidentlydraw towards a close Even should the Whigs propose a Suffi-age measure now , it would be so palpable a dodge such a hollow bidding for popularity in the approaching Session , that it would , only fail of its intended object . The whole of their political career has always illustrated the old legend : — = ..
• " When the Devil was siok Tho Duvil a saint would be ; When the Devil got well ' The Devil a aaiat vjas lie . " As long as they are backed by " working majorities , " they are the haughtiest and the boldest opponents of every popuW measure or progrfissivo reform—as soon as they fill up the measure of their unpopularity , and have the prospect of facing the people at the hustingsthey are rcacly with " promises made to be broken "—measures never intended to pass , but merely to'float -them once more into' the safe possession of place , power , and patronage . It thus that
was , iu 1840 , after nearl y ten years of mismanagement , they raised the cry of " Choiip Corn , Timber , aud Sugar . " It was thus , iul 8 lG , they pretended tolreland tliatthey would inaugurate anew , remedial , and preventive , instead of coercive aud penal policy . At all times they have lied—at all times they have falsified their pledges , and deceived the people and when they now promise a Franchise measure ,. let us be assured that they mean if possible , to dupe the nation once more .

g elfish , and , withal , stupid knaves , as flTOT tried their hands at political juggling / ' We do not believe in auch a possibility . The light necessaril y let . in Upbn the composition of the restored Cabinet—its utter unfitness for the position it occupies—tho manner in which from sheer incapacit y , it had brought itself to a deadlock , —and , above all , the certainty that its administrative incompetency was not redeemed by any hearty sympathy with the wishes and wants of the people at large—all these causes have combined to render more than a mere temporary retention of office impossible . If the Glass Palace had not been erected in Hyde Park , and daily filling with the bales of goods sent by foreign
exhibitors , in anticipation of its opening on the First of May , we do not believe that the country would have been required to submit for a moment to such an insult as that offered by their return to office . As it is they are avowedly there as a temporary and transitional expedient , forced upon us by very peculiar and extraordinary circumstances , that admit of no other alternative . They are distrusted by all partiesand despised by many . Humpty Dumpty'' is so fundamentally and irreparably cracked and damaged , that though tinkered , tied and patched together by that old experienced hand , Wellington , he must fall to pieces again ere long .
What ought- to be the conduct of all Reformers at such a time ? In the few months that will elapse before the country is plunged into the midst of the turmoil and battle and excitement of a general election , it is the imperative duty of all sections of the Reform party to unite for the purpose of enlightening the public mind ; and above all , to organise the opinion thus created in such a manner as shall tell powerfully and concentratively on Buch practical and immediate reforms as may be necessary in the progress of the nation towards still higher and more beneficial developments of civilisation .

EXTENSION OF THE SUFFRAGE . Among the numerous points presented for comment b y the recent commotion , one stands out rather unexpectedly—namely , the extent to which the Franchise question contributed to the downfall of the "W hig Ministry . But for the explanation of Lord Joiin Russell himself , we should never have suspected that it was one of the most prominent of his difficulties . Certainly , the Suffrage Reformers in Parliament did tbeir utmost to prevent it from pressing too heavil y upon him . The scattered aud feebly-supported motions madefrom time
, to time , on the subject of Representative Reform ; the ease with which the House could be " counted out" on a "People ' s Charter " night ; and the entire absence of anything like concert , unity , or mutual understanding , on the part of those who were looked upon as the pledged supporters of the "Little Charter , '' were all so many proofs that the hitch did not occur in Parliament . Out of it , we must confess , the agitation did not assume an extremely formidable aspect . There was
nothing resembling the monster gatherings , the tumultuous excitement , threatening language , and " black flag" processions , which heralded the passing of Lord John ' s own bantling Reform Act . Indeed , if Parliament and tho Press had been taken as the true and correct indicators of public opinion on this important question , it would have been concluded that it was shelved b y general consent , never more to be heard of , except in certain obscure and uninfiuential quarters .
But here is the great mistake of purblind politicians , and hack-party writers , who coin sophisms for the nonce . They do not understand that , whether they will it or not , society is ever advancing . Nature mocks their puny efforts to retard her progress . At the very moment when they are congratulating themselves on having successfull y tied down everything securely , the legaturesare snapped by the inherent expansive force of humanity . ! The walls of exclusion and monopoly , which they laboriously build around favoured classes , crumble of themselves , and the people march over them in their onward path towards tho great object of Democracy—E qual , Just , and Fraternal Government .
But indeed nothing in nature appears to stand still except the Whigs . They are the true vis inertia of the political world . The very creed of the Peelites is conservative progress ; and tho political faith of Lord Stanley as explained by himself in the Lords on Friday night , is marvellously unlike the Toryism of b ygone days , Lord John stands alone as the advocate of Finality . With him ' whatever is , is right , " whatever is not , is wrong . Even in the elaborate explanation of his views upon this question on Friday se ' nnight , while apparentl the
y admitting necessity for an alteration of the Suffrage , he distinctly stated that the bill of which he had prepared an outline and which he did not intend to submit this session , was based upon the principle of maintaining the existing preponderance of class interests in Parliament , and of excluding the toiling aud industrious masses from any real participation in legislative or financial power They are still to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for their aristocratic or capitalist task masters . The political and social emancipation of labour is not to be looked for from Lord John .
But , is it not very singular that tlie Suffrage question should have thus unexpectedly started into prominence ? Can it be owing to the division on Mr . Locke King ' s motion ? We scarcely think so . Though the Premier was left in a minority of one to two on that occasion , by the defection of some of bis former supporters , audtfie abstinence of the Conservatives from voting , Mr . Locke King had not added to the list of Mb supporters . They were one hundred last year ; thoy wore precisely one hundred this . We believe the real fact to be this , that the machinery of our aristocratical and exclusive Administrative system , haB ceased to be
coequal with the expanding intelligence , and tho growingwants of the age . Neither tho business of the Government , nor of Legislation , can be carried on any longer by clique coteries or privileged classes . Obstacles , of a now and formidable kind , start up in the most unexpected places . The people—whose intelligence they deny , whose power they affect to ignore —are , in spite of them , " a great fact" in the state . The difficulties they create are not so much of an active , as of a passive nature If
they were the former , soldiers and policemen , bloodletting and dungeons , mi » ht deal with them ; but the constant endeavour to make the effete and ricketty old system march \ vr ta _ new ideas , aud expanding wants wearies , puzzles and baffles those engaged iu it . The Whigshave broken down under the attem pt , and it will as certainl y in futUr break down whoever may essay the same ask or be ignorant enough to dream of p ™ suing the same short-si ghted policy
But the genuine Reformers of this country ought not to be contented , with this under-current of events in their favour . Why not take tUe . initiative , and ori ginate a wide spread , well organised , aggressive movement . Seeing the inherent weakness of their opponents , now is the time to make a decisive , a vigorous blow , m favour of Parliamentary Reform . The languid and ill-directed efforts hitherto made in the House of Commons , should be replaced by & consistent , straightforward , and vigorous policy . Looking at tho position iu which the factions now stand , and their admitted
incapacity to ' carry on the Government , even for a single month , without the forbearance and connivance of tke nominal Suffrage Reformers we say that the moment has co me for them to strike home , and demand , as the price olj their

Up to this time , wo have nothing but tall-There has been talk about Papal A ggression talk about agricultural distress—talk about a budget—and talk about now Ministerial ar rangements ; all of which have berum and ended in talk . According to tho restored Premier , we are now going to work at last but with the exception of the Anti-Papal Bill he gives us no intimation what kind of m he proposes to cut o ut and go on with . He
may guess , however , from the fact that k has alread y abandoned some portions of his favourite measure , and totally abandon ^ others , that the other proposals " placed before Parliament will be merel y such makeshift and pieces of patchwork as may serve to keep things together for the time beiii £ . The Ministerial explanations , on ^ Moiidav night , elicited from Lord John his views ci one or two . points that it is just as veil n should understand . He is doggedl y determine to hold
up the present distribution of the Franchise , with , its consequent unfair and m just preponderance of territorial and mouid influence ; and he seems also bent upon main . taining that exclusive right of governing to the aristocracy , tho practical effect of vhM is , to make it the inheritance of two or three great families , and such understrappers a < they may graciousl y condescend to call to their aid . We could not help smiling , however , at the coolness with which Lord Joiix put bii
Anti-Papal Bill in the van . Knowing , as fee does , that it is objected to , on one "rounder another , byevery party in the House , escort the Treasury hacks and official Ministerialist * he pertinaciousl y adheres to it , and , by ostentatiously announcing it as the first measure t « bo proceeded with , in effect told the lions they must either accept it , or have another Ministerial iuterregnum . There is a little spice of reven ge in this , rather diverthisiniH way . °
In theother House , Lord Staxief , after candidly explaininghis difficulties in forming a Government ; which essentiallyresolved themselves into the aristocratic objection to take into hi * Cabinet anybod y but known and tried red tapists , and members of tho factions who monopolise power , proceeded to expound the policy he would have pursued had ho formed a Government . It was evidently a temporary one , struck off for the occasion ; and vet it had a boldness , simplicity , breadth , and purpose about it which , contrasted with the blundering , inconsistent , arid shilly-shally proceedings to which we have been accustomed of late
years , was quite refreshing . " Another result of the explanations was , to show a reconciliation , to a largo extent , b * tween the hitherto severed fragments of ti * oligarch y . Lord John Bdssell and Sir A Ghaiiam exchanged terms of endearment , a > it thoy had been two turtlo doves ; and the sam « affectionate courtesies were recipro cated in the House of Lords . SirtfAMES talked ,
some time ago , of the necessity for the Free Trade party '' closing their rank s . '' Have the events'of the last fortni ght shown him hfl * other ranks are to be closed ? Shall we ha « a Coalition Ministry doing the behests of the aristocracy , as soon as tho Whig 8 bi . vek .

I he Lords saton Tuesday and Thursday for * short time—the cause on both occasions ' being Lord Mosieaqle , who had questions to put o » Colonial matters . Earl Guey justified , in 1 » reply , the continued forcing of convicts upon the Australian Colonies , by a series of ova-Biqns aud quibbles which can onl y have the effect of rendering these "British posse ssions" still more hopeless , of ever receiving justice from the Colonial Office . The preset head of that department will , we have » ° doubt , do far more to create the United State * of tho Australian Republic than Dr . Laisc .
