TO THE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND . Brothers , —An address headed & » ibeTe appeared In tbe Star of the 29 tb April , bear ing tbe signature * of Messrs . Thomas ADcot and Wm . Brown , Chairman and Secretary to the Chartuta of GIamjcw , which address , in our opinion , goes fat to destroy tbe character of the Chartuts of this place ; nay , if the charges in it be true , onaht to be reprobated by every honest man . It is therein set forth that the Chartists of Greenock , or rather B few of them . ha ? e Ufcen advantage of an address pnt forth by the Chartuts of Glasgow , to the effect , that they had engaged a company to visit the different localities for tfce purpose of rf presenting the trial of Robert Emmet , and thereby raising a fund to pay off the debt due by the Chartists of Scotland to Mr George Ross ; th&t these icdirid-uals have done so without tbe authority of the Chartists of Greenock ; that they have done it for the express purpose of filling their own coffers ; and that none of the proceeds have been paid into the Association funds . These are the charge * . Now
how stands the case ? The facts are these . The Universal Suffrage Association of GTeeuotfc , in their anxiety to forward tbe good erase , contracted a debt of £ 15 . At a meeting held in December , 1842 , it was resolved to adopt some means to have tfcia debt paid off ; according ly it was agreed to give a representation of tbe above named noble patriot ' s trial , in the hall of our Mechanic's Institution , < m Tuesday the 3 rd of January , 1843 ; ' considerable debt was -contracted for dresses and room , and the process barely covered them ; so that our own fund * retr-aired much es they wtre . The Greenock men , at the reqnest of ocr brethren in the Vale of Leven , went over and performed the trial for two nightt , —
not to assist our o-wa funds , but to assist the mends in that locality iu raising funds to build a ball . At the request of our brethren in G : asgow they perfumed it for two niriits in Cooke ' s Circus , to crowded bouses , and £ 7 * was drawn—not for our funds , but to assist in paying off debt due to Mr . . Ross . Having done eo mneh for onr friends in other places , the Committee "wer-ef opinion that an tff-rt should be made for ourselves . Accordingly a place was secured in Paisley , and &lso in Johnstone ; and the trial was given in each ; and afttr defraying all erpences land we can assure you the charges made by tbe men performing the piece were very small ) £ l 8 * . was paid into the hands of oar treasurer ; J 8 s . we expect from Johnstone ; making in all £ 2 . < s . W . ihoot comment , brethren , we leave the charges and the facts in your r ^ nn * , knowing that you will judge impartially . Signed in the name cf the Committee , Peter Campbell , Treasurer .

HOUSE OF LORDS—Fsidat , May 5 . No Easiness of importance . Mosdat , Mat 8 . The Earls of Clabsxdon * od Radnor presented several petitions for a total repeal of the Cora Laws . Lord Rode * and Lord Glesgall presented petitions on the present systsm of Poor Laws in Ireland , deprecating the agitation raised against it The Marquii of CLA > 'ilCAB . D 8 moved for a Select Committee of inquiry respecting the operation of the Irish Poor Law Act . Tbe Dake of Wellington opposed the " motion , on tbe ground that the bill had received mature consideration when introduced , and that there was a hill in the Commons for amending Use Act .
The Marquis of ClaNBICaEdk withdrew his motion , on an understanding from the Dake of Wellington that when the bill same up from the Commons , if a motion should be made to refer it to a Select Committee , he would leave the matter t * tbe aecfe of the House . Adjourned at nine o ' clock .
Tcesdat , Mat 9 . The Earl of Eodex called attention to the condition of Ireland , consequent on the agitation for the Repeal of the Union , which was producing great miscbitf , except in the province of Ulster , where the peop > were Eiill Bound and loyal , and ready to do in 1 S 43 what they had so effeciually done in 1738 . The Duke of Wellington said that the Irish Go-Ternment were alire to the importance of the matter , and were aided by the supreme Government in the precautions which they were taking to ensure tbe public peace in Ireland . The Government were deteraiced to maintain inviolate ihe integrity of the empire , and lie was sure that Parliament would aid them in so doing .
Lord BaocGHAK said that a severance of the Legislative Union would be , in fact , a disruption of the empire , to prevent which this country woaid pnt forth its whole Etrength , moral and physical , on the first invstation of its necessity , Tne Marquis of Lassdcwnb said that the Government might rely with couSdenee upon the efforts of the Hous » , in maintenance of ihe integrity of the
empire . The Marqais of Do'wsshire said that it was highly requisite thv » attention should be directed to the present excited state of the people of Ireland , upon this question . Lord Campb&u , presented a petiticn , which again brought the ieoich Church question under discussion ; and the Marqais of Bbeadalbase asked Lord Aberdeen bow the Government intended to deal with the subject I Lord Abebdein said he had before stated the course which the Government would pursue , but he had no objection to repeat lit . He should be very glad if he eonld prevent the disruption of the Church of Scotland , which it was said would follow the secession of some of its ablest minister-.
After a short conversation , in which the Dnke of Argyle , Lord Brougham , and Lortiflfempbell joined , the petition was laid upon the table , ' aad their lord-Ehips adjourned .

HOUSE Of COMMONS . —Fkidat , Mat 5 . Mr . Xakb Fox , in reply to Mr . Smith O'Brien , said , as he perceived by tbe newspapers that Mr . O'Connell bad declared he would not attend the discussion of bis motion respecting agitatioa for the Repeal of the Union , he would not bring it on in bU absence ; bnt that he would address him a public letter in order to let him know what he meiDt to da On the motion for going into committee of the ¦ whole House , on the endowment of additional ministers in populous place * , Mr . Hcke asted if it would involve a grant of public money ? Six R . Peel replied that it would not . Tbe House then went into committee , and
Sir R Peel proceeded to state the grounds on which he felt it necessary to call the attention cf tie House to the subject- Seme progress had been made in order to remedy the admitted evili arising from the population outrunning the means of public instruction arid pastoral care . But the existing deficiency was still great and undeniable . How was it to be supplied ? Tbe Government had come t » the conclusion that accruing ecclesiastical revenues should for the presei . t be made applicable to the purpose ; and if thtee sfeould pruve insufficient , that then it would be their duty to appiy to Parliament for additional aid . Great practical benefit fead resulted fiom the labours of tbe Ecclesiastical Commission appointed in 1834 , during the short period that he was at tbe head of the administration at that
time . Tbe commission had directed their attention to adjusting the unequal division of the dioceses and labours of the bishops , and to tbe reduction cf the numbers of cathedral establishiaents ; and as Parliament had given effect to their recommendations , there "was now accruing an annual sum of £ 25 000 out rt the revenues of the suppressed cammries , ¦ which was applicable to the augmentation of small livings and to making provision for spiritual destitution . The present annual amount appropriated to that purpose by the Commissioners was £ 32 000 ; but it was caleclated that in a few years there would be a great increase in the annual amount of the revenues which -were available to tbe Ecclesiastical Commissioners . He , therefore , proposed to anticipate this accruing
income , to provide for the present spiritual deetitution of the people ; and he gave the details ot a scheme by which he proposed to effect it . The &o-Ternora of Qaeen Anne ' s bou-.. ty bad at this moment a capital stock standing in their names to the amonnt of £ 1 , 200 , 000 , the interest of which is applicable to specific purposes . Of this he proposed to borrow £ 600 , 000 to be secured on tbe future accruing revenues of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners ; and this borrowed stock ia to be applied , in annual amounts of £ 30 , o » 0 , to the immediate augmentation of the means of spiritual instruction . He explained tbe particulars of the plan for the repayment , by which he calculated that in 1860 tbe Ecclesiastical Commissioners will have an annual amount to provide of £ 80 , 000 , for which it a expected that they will have by that time ample means , * n » ng from accruing re-venues . The borrowed sum , ia annual amount * of £ 30 , 000 , is intended ttbe lied
app , not to the building of churches , but to the endowment of ministers , and to be connected with the Aid of local subscriptions . Great benefit ha * already resulted from Yolnntary subscriptions , for building aburcbee ; and nothing could mere conduce to the promotion of these church building subscriptions , than by providing for the endowment of ministers . He hoped thai in these Midowmenta care would be taken to assign each minister a given district ; though he dio bov think that the endowment of the minister should wait on the oonstrnction of tbe chnreh . He would rather first place a Banister in a destitute district , confident th * t the erectien of a church -wouM jpeedi y follow tbe success of his labours . Looking ; te tbe destitute condition of the population , he fcir tfc .- rn-:, t importance cf immediate action ; and seeing tba : r ? c did not : * sk for a grant of public rooiiey , ts L ^ i > ed ; Le House would unanimously agree to tbe prov ase < j scheme . 2 Cot but t&at he should like to gtt a era :,: i-f iurO-c money for the purpose ; but be -sts- ! trx ^ us f- > urani ' mity , txA be was bstiffied ttar I-v tie \ t-v -t : spvtiCiii-jZ 'f tCCit-t ' -rjliOii icVttar- - :-.

late years , in the religious liberality of possessors of property attached to the establishment He concluded with proposing a resolution on which to fonsd a motion for leave to bring in a bill in order to carry out the plan of endowment . Sir R . H . Inglw , Lord Doogannon , Captain Bernal , Mr . Colquho * B , Lord John RuaselU Mr . Hume , Mr . Pakington , Mr . Grisborne , Mr . Plumptre , Mr . Borthwick , Lord Sandon , Mr . Campbell , Mr . Herbert Corteis , Lord John Manners , Mr . A eland , and Mr . Br « - therton , took place in the debate , sfter which the resolution was agreed to , and tbe House having resumed with tbe Speaker in the chair , leave was given to bring in a bill founded on it . The remaining business was then gone through , inclmding the introduction of a bill , by Sir James Graham , to regulate the Milbank Penitentiary , and the House adjournod .
MONDAY , Mat 8 . The Speaker informed the House that the securities for the prosecution of the Nottingham petition against the last election were unexceptionable . Numerous petrions were presented against the Factories Education Bill . Mr . Roebcck gave notice that at an early opportunity he would call the attention-of the House to the occupation of Scinde . In answer to a question from Mr . Fkench , Lord Eliot said that the reports as to certain gentlemen having been dismissed from the Commission of the Peace for taking part in repeal meetings , were without foundation . The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought on ihe budget , to which we have referred in a separate article . The House adjourned at half-past eleven .
TUESDAY , Mat 9 . Amongst the private and preliminary business , there was a strong muster , and a somewhat lively debate on the Northampton and Peterborough Railway Bill . Lord Jotceltn put a question similar to the one put by his father , the Earl of Roden , iu the House of Lords , respecting the agitatioa for the repeal of the Union . Sir Robest Peel quoted from the parliamentary proceedings of 1834 , respecting the necessity and importance of tbe preservation of the legislative union , and declared that on the part of her Majesty he was empowered to re-echo the BentimentB then expressed both by the Sovereign and jointly by the Legislature . The Government were alive to the necessity of preserving the peace of Ireland ; and though reluctant to ask for additional powers , they would not , for a moment , shrink from doing so , if it should prove to be necessary , in order to put down attempts to procure the dismemberment of the
empire . Sir Robert Peel spoke with considerable animation , and he was loudly cheered by a full and excited House . The Spkakkb called oa Mr . Villiers to proceed with his motion on the Com Laws ; which was the signal for the presentation of a great number of petitions on the subject . Mr . Villikrs then rose to move " That this House will resolve itself into a committee , for the purpose of considering the duties affecting the importation of foreign corn , with a view to their immediate abolition . " Mr- Yjllikrs Stuart seconded the motion ,
Mr . Gladstone declared the determination of the Government not to leave any doubt as to their intentions . The proposed Canadian corn bill was not an amendment of the Corn-law ; it was but a part of the measures which had been planned last year , and remained to be completed . It was true that the Corn-law , like everj commercial law , partook of the nature of as experiment , but it also partook of the nature of a contract , and it would be a breach of faith to eDtertain a proposition for its repeal , before it had received anything like a fair trial . Mr . Christopher and Mr . Roebuck took part in the debate , which was then adjourned .

THE TUG OF WAR . O'CONNELL , THE DUKE , AND THE REPEAL . So ! so ! The game thickens . The earnestness of faction becomes apparent ; and its seeming greatness waxes bold . Every new circumstance tendB to justify the people's policy in hurling from the Beat of power the half-halting timorous and perfidious Whigs , and in narrowing the Held of action and tbe chance of battle bj a concentration of the powers of the enemy . The great advantage of it is that it will bring on the pitched battle . It will " pit" the force of tyranny against the power of an enlightened , peaceful , but determined people . There is a temerity—a
sort of manliness of front and bearing—in tbe Tories which shews better u where to have them . " They are an open foe , and they avow it fairly and " come out . " There is no shrinking , nor "blinking the matter" with them . They " take the bull" fairly "by the hornB '; and thus bring to issue the question between right and might . Did we fear the is 3 ue , or did we think the people unprepared to " bide " it , we might wish the temporisers were again " at home " . We do not . We think the power of public opinion all-sufficient to check rampant faction in its fiercest onslaught ; and we hear therefore
without fear the rattle' which gives presage of the long deferred attack . The war is now to become general . The policy of skirmishing with Chartists only is to be abandoned . They have gathered so much strength from every new attack that despotism finds out the necessity of " looking sharply round" , and the Tories are about to take the step which their friends of the late Ministry would have been glad to do but dare not . They are about to take strong measures against Mr . O'Consell and the Repeal Agitation in Ireland . In both u Houses" the " note of
preparation has been sounded at the same time . Jn the House of Lords Earl Roden brought the Duke upon his legs by asking what the Government intended with reference to the Repeal Agitation . He reminded him of former pledges from himself and Peel : of their avowed determination to suppress it even at the expence of a resort to force" and of " dying the scaffold and the plains of Ireland with blood "; and he required the Government to say , positively , whether they were now disposed to carry out these threats . "We give the Duke's answer , as we find it in the Time * : —
" My Lords , the Government of Ireland is sensible of the feelings of excitement which exist in certain parts of Ireland on tbe subject of tbe Repeal of the Union , and it is also aware of the danger which may be the result of that excitement—( bear , bear ) . The attention of the Government has , my Lords , been given to the state of excitement that prevails , and to tbe measures which have been adopted in order to keep it up , and the Government of Ireland and Her Majesty ' s servants here have adopted measures in order to enable tbe Irish Government with certainty to preserve tbe peace of that country in case any attempt shall be made to disturb it , and to prevent tbe success of any measures which any mischievous persons in Ireland may have iu contemplation for tbe purpose of disturbing the
peace . * ' There can be no deubt , my Lords , of the determination of tbe Legislature and of the Government to maintain inviolate tbe union between tbe two portions of the United Kingdom ; and there can be no doubt , also , as to tbe duty of Her Majesty ' s Government to act accordingly— ( bear , bear ) . It is tbe determination of Her Majesty ' s Government to maintain that union , and to come down to Parliament and to call on Parliament u give to H « r Majesty ' s Government its support in carrying into execution as / measures that may be necessary in order to maintain the union , and to preserve from disturbance the peace of Her Majestys dominions—( cheers ) . "
" My Lords , this is tbe opinion of Her Majesty's Government at the present moment , and upon this opinion , and in foil confidence of receiving tbe support of Parliament , Her Majesty's Government will invariably act—( cheers ) . A similar application from Lord Joceltm , in the House of Commons , brought from Sir Robebt Peel a Etill stronger expression of determination to put dowH the Repeal movement . Sir Robebt is reported to have said : — _ " I have to state , for the information of my Noble .- - > . a ar , d of t ; ,- riu ; se . th .: Kr ilsjesf . ' s Goyern-¦ . -t b .

which the law gives to the Government which shall not be used to maintain that union , the repeal of which would not enly be tbe repeal of an act of Parliament , but « dismemberment of this great empire . —( Reiterated cheers . ) Of tbls I am conident , that the executive Government loses nothing in moral and legal strength "by confiding as long as possible in the ordinary powers which tbe law and the constitution give them . I am unwilling , without urgent necessity , to disparage the ordinary law by asking for increased enactments ( bear , bear ) , but I do not hesitate to say that if necessity ahsuld arise her Majesty's Gavemment will at once apply to Parliament for those additional and effectual powers which will enable them lo avert the mighty evils which must accrue , not only to England but to Ireland , from any attempt to dissolve the existing anion . ( Much cheering . ) I here subscribe to and
repeat the dec ' sratiens made iu this place on a former occasion by Lord Althorp , —that , deprecating all war , and especially deprecating civil war , there is nevertheless no alternative which I should not consider preferable to the dismemberment of this great empire . ( Enthusiastic cheering from the ministerial aide . ) But I hope , Sir , that our forbearance will n « t be misconstrued ; I trust we shall only obtain additional strength by deferring our call for new powers until more urgent necessity Bhall arise , and meanwhile 1 hope I have given proof that we shall not fail to ask those pewers if it shall be found necessary to demand them in order to fulfil the desire expressed by Parliament in the year 1834 . ( Much applause . i Sir , I have only fmtherto thank the Noble Lord for tbe opportunity he baa afforded me of making this public declaration on tbe part of Hex Majesty ' s advisers . "
Here , then , are avowals which leave no doubt as to the course which has been determined on . " War , war to the knife , against Repeal" is to be the watchword of the day ; and the struggle againBt the rising spirit of liberty is to be shifted from the English to the Irish shore . The full phial of oppression , aud the full measure of iniquity , are now to be served up to Ireland , and she is to be " coerced" in earneBt . Not merely are her green fields and her fertile valleys to be made , as usual , the theatre of rapine reoognised by law and the scenes of destitution the result of crime ;—not the crime of the destitute , but of those who made him destitute;—not merely are the wonted and accustomed acts of outrage to be re-perpetrated , and , if possible , perpetuated , but the very tongue of murmur must be silenced , and the badge of slavery be accompanied by its proper counterpart , the gag " 1
What Bays Ireland to the prospect of the gifts in store for her \ What says Ireland ' s mouthpiece , Mr . O'Connell ? We have seen | the fiat of Government ; the " declaration of war" from Sir Robert and " the Iron Duke" ; let us see how O'Connell is prepared to meet it . Let us have his own account of his own position , and his own strength . 'He seems not to be unaware of the nature of the coming confliot , and he appears to contemplate with confidence its coming . At a great *• Repeal Demonstration" held a few days ago at Sligo he reviewed hia strength in terms which , though somewhat long , we here place before our readers , that they may fairly view the battle field aad the belligerents . O'Connell is reported to have aaid : —
' ¦ It was a majestic sight to see so many thousands of human beings congregated together in the purest highest , and noblest cause that ever yet animated human patriotism . ( Cheers . ) Tbeir country was a province ; she should be a nation . ( Cheering . ) The iron hand of despotism bad been upon her . The starless night of desolation bad ruled her destiny for centuries , but the day was comiDg , tbe hoar was approaching , tbe time was at band when her sous would lift tbeir voices to heaven , and cruel man would be forced to yield to tbe necessity of succumbing to tbe wishes of a virtuous and a noble nation . ( Loudcheers . ) What they were looking for was plainly their righttbe right of all human beings to self government
What they required was , that Ireland should have Irishmen , and that Irishmen should have Ireland . They would let the English have England , the Scotch have Scotland , tbe French have France , bnt they should insist on tbe Irish having Ireland . ( Great cheers . ) For tbe last seven hundred years Ireland had been governed by anything but by her own sonB ; but the Irish bad at length grown too many ; they bad grown too wise , they had grown too temperate , they had gTOwn too peaceably determined , not to succeed In restoring their country to her national importance . ( Cbeers . ) * We must bo a nation . ( E . tbuslastic applause . ) Ireland cannot continue to be a province . ( Renewed cheors . ) The waves of tbe Atlantic
may , by possibility , career over her hills and mountains , but nothing save the eternal flood of tbe mighty ocean can quench the flame of tbe majestic bos < nn tbat lights , invigorates , and warms In the snered cause of national independence . ( Great cheering . ) Nothing but tbe extinction of tbe nation can extinguish thu demand—nothing but tbe annihilation of all her people can retard the success of our movement Somebody says tbat we will not succeed , and tbat I am merely always going about from place to place . But what are the elements of success ? Is not agitation the price necessarily paid for liberty , and is not our agitation confessedly within the bounds of peace , law , and tbe constitution ( bear , bear )? I am not to succeed ,

of a foreign invasion . You shall have it no more ( Tbe entire company here stood up , and continued cheering for several moments . ) No ; the hour is past Tbe morning star beams on tbe verge of tbe horizontbe star of light and liberty that will soon enlighten our hemisphere—that invigorates as well as warms—that cbeers as well as enlightens every human being In the land .

Gentlemen , Ireland has never yet had a fair stand-up fight for her liberties—( bear , and cheers . ) I do not mean tbe fight of battle and of death—the fight of combat , destruction , and of the sanguinary field , but I mean the virtnons , persevering , constant struggle for liberty—( bear , bear . ) I have pledged myself to three millions of Repealers , and I cannot afford to take any less —( cries of " you shall have them .

Give me my three million of Repealers , and I will immediately take the next step . I will not have a convention ia Dublin , for tbat is against tbe law . There is a statute against
bolding any convention in Ireland , and I am a great respecter of your statutes—( bear , bear , and laughter ) But the statute does not cover the entire of tbe ground . 1 It covers a small penal portion , and I would not tread , on tbat at all but with tbe most perfect good humour , as well as good temper .

They would also consider suggestions for a bill on tbe fixity of tenure , in which the landlords' rights would be fully protected , wbila tbey would be compelled to perform
their duties towards their tenantry —( bear ) . Don't jou think tbat would be a good week's work to have them ia for—( cheers and laughter ) ? We would bave all these bills prepared in perfect technical accuracy , aad ready to be submitted to the nexs Parliament tbat we would tind witling to take them into consideration—( cheers ) . In doing this , we would violate no law—we would infringe on no part of tbe constitution . The English Parliament , once before , put away their King , and appointed another—the glorious William—in bis place . Tbat was against tbe letter of tbe law ; but will any ot those who now oppose us , say tbat it was against tbe spirit of the constitution ? It wonld be time
fur her sacred Majesty to witness her Irish subjects , and what a cheer there will be for her when she lands —( cbeers ) . Ia not it to be continued as long as she remains in Ireland—( cries of ' yes 1 ')? Ab no , while Bhe sleeps there will not be a single shout to disturb it Tbe day is coming on , it is arriving fast , when she will bave the gratification of opening her Parliament in Dublin , and going down in state , with tbe Repeal wardens lining tbe streets on both sides—for that shall be a duty confided to them alone , ant ) which no other man shall be allowed to interfere in , because it is they wbo shall have achieved the victory "—( bear , heat . hear ) .
Such , then , is the position of the belligerents ; the two hosts—of misrule and liberty—encamped against each other . What should be the conduct of the people—the English people , while the struggle ponds 1 Should they stand tamely by and see Irelaud immolated without coming to the rescue ? Should they aid the tyrants and send " fighting men " to dye her fields with blood , and u thank God ! ' twas our boys did it" { O ! No ; No ; No ! Thia is not their measure of repayment . At least , it shall not be so far as we have influence with them . That
we have differed with Mr . O'Connell not only upon detail questions , but upon matters of general policy , is a faot too well known to require repetition . We have expressed our opinion of his policy unreservedly , and have not a single word to retract . That we have doubted his sincerity , even upon the question of repeal , we admit . That his conduct has , upon many occasions , been'false and treacherous to the Chartists , is undeniable . That he has not strengthened the party by which he hoped to effect his purpose ten years ago , is matter of history . Bnt all these things weigh not a feather in the scale against the necessity for upholding popular liberty
against factious domination and coercive tyranny . And let the people be assured the cause is not less their own because Ireland is to be the scene of contest . All the great principles to which our souls are wedded are not less at stake in this attack upon the Repeal agitation of our Irish brethren , than in the more direot processes in which the virtue of the English Chartists has alone , and almost without Irish aid , worsted a tyrant Government in many successive actions . We know that it is so ; and that every nail fastened in the coffin of Irish independence ie a dagger piercing the heart of English liberty ; a rivet , making more fast our manacles . Hence would
we be ashamed , at such a time , to nourish differences or to withhold the hand of succour from a nation bravely struggling against tyrant power . Wheresoever the flag of liberty contends with tyranny , there do we uplift our weapon for it , no matter by whom it may be carried . Sinking all other matters in the publio weal , we are now prepared to say even to O'Connell , ' * If you have now learned the secret that an enlightened publio expect , from their professing friends , something more than mere empty sound * and the honour of paying for it ; if you suppose the time has come for realising , or for honestly trying to realise , yoftr couutry ' s hopes ; and if you are
disposed therefore to put forth your strength in earnest and to fight the battle fairly , we are ready to forget the past and put forth all our energies to save you from the violence with which the Tories threaten you ; and with which , when the Whigs threatened us , you promised to aid them in its perpetration . We will not volunteer as part of 500 , 000 fighting men to trample upon you ; nor will we rejoice if an English Sergeant shall be foremost in tbe slaughter—for rely upon it there
will be slaughter before the English executors of a mixed oligarchy will give up their claim to that position which they won by brute force and treachery . But fear not for the issue of the struggle . 'Tts not the first time the Tories have talked big nor will it be tbe first time of their being worsted . Before the passing of * Reform' or * Catholic Emancipation' the Iron Duke and Sir Robert were as confident as now . But England and Ireland carried 'Reform' and * Emancipation' in their teeth as they shall yet carry the Charter and Repeal . "
The people must look out now for the ezeroise of a stronger arm of power than they have seen exercised for a long time ; and while they come , if need be , to the aid of Ireland with all the chivalry and bold determination of the English character , they must look well to the measuring of their footsteps , that they give no advantage to the common enemy . The fight must be a moral and a peaceful one . It must be conducted fairly and by legal means . Government threaten to apply to Parliament for new powers ; let us use the powers that we have ; let us use them wisely and not exceed them ; let us look carefully to every step ; let us eschew all
rash and hasty movements ; let us hare neither seoregy nor known violation of tbe law ; let us kick out tbe Bkulking braggarts from our camp ; let us array ourselves—English , and Scotch , and Irishmen—under one Common banner , with the flag of freedom and the Charter waving over us : with the Charter , and never before it , will Repeal come ; and the sacred tree of Liberty shall take root at once in Britain and in Ireland , and it Bhall flourish under the fostering genius of democracy , until its blessed fruits , social justice and individual enjoyment , causing the flush of happiness to mantle on each face , shall pleasingly but quietly proclaim our triumph .

THE BUDGET . " PROSPERITY" AND A FALLING REVENUE . " FREE TRADE" AND A " DEFICIENCY . " On Monday night last , " The Budget" of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was opened . It bad been looked forward to with no inconsiderable share of interest , many being curious to know what had been the effect of the " Free-Trade Tariff" of last year upon the Revenue , and , what was to be the amount of the New Income Tax .
Sir Robkbt Peel when he entered upon office , found a deficient revenue . He found the expenditure exceeding the income very materially ; and the deficiency made up by the issuing of Exchequer Bills , which , in process Of time came to be added to the permanent Debt . He pronounced this to be a most unsatisfactory state of the Nation ' s finances ; and devised a scheme to raite the " needful , " so that the deficiency might no Ionaer exist .
Ono part of his scheme was to take a great leap towards complete Free Trade ; and the other the imposition of a tax upon property , and upon income arising from profession . On Monday last the official statement was given , which enabiea u ^ to judge of the efficiency or sound-; j- .-. i of . - > ii - ii i ')• .: ¦ i . ' .-i measures , confining our attr-n-
Untitled Article
That statement is , tbat they have failed ! The defficiency is not made up ! The Expenditure , for the yearlending April 5 th , 1843 , is . in round number , £ 51 , 160 , 000 . The Income ia £ 48 , 740 , 000 The excess op Expenditure over Income , is £ 2 , 420 , 000 ! The amount of Income-tax received up to April 5 ib , 1843 , and included in the above account of ' Income , " is £ 2 , 456 , 000 . So that , had it not been for the Income-tax , the excess of Expenditure over Income would have been just upon £ 5 , 000 , 090 !
Here then is a test of " Free Trade . " The Tariff , being the largest step towards complete Free Trade ever taken in this couitry , was to bring about such a state of " Prosperity , " as to place all classes of the community in a comparatively happy position . One proof of that altered and happy position , was to be found in an increased Revenue . Where is that proof ? Where is the increase ? Where is the bettered condition ?
The Tariff has pulled down the prices of all descriptions of produce . It has had that effect , most certainly . Farming produce is " cheap . " Wheat is "low ; " almost as low as the most rigid Corn Law Repealer could desire . Milk is low ; butter ia low ; and cheese is low . A neighbour of ours , in the Wholesale Provision Line , declares that for £ 50 this year he bought more cheese than he paid £ 70 for last year ! Woollen cloths are depreciated in price ; and Wages of all sorts are depreciated also 11 " Free Trade , " then , has had its effect . It has " ¦ cheapened " all things : all things except taxes , and tax eaters .
Taxes it has not lessened ! Nor has it lessened the salaries of the Officers of State , or the dividends of the " National Creditor , " or the pensions of the " Pretty Ladies , " or the allowances of the Dead Weight people ! Free-Trade has " cheapened" provisions : but to whom ? To the labourer ? No . His wages are reduced ' . and reduced , too , more than the amount of the difference between the " dear" and the " cheap" price of food . To the Tradesmen , or the professional ? He has his Income-tax to pay ! and if the Tariff saves him that amount , it does all that Peel promised him . Besides , a reduction'of prices involves a reduction of profits . Generally speaking ,
a certain per centage is the rate of profit lit all cases . Reduce the gross amount , and there is a less gross amount of profit . To make-up an income from profits , under such circumstances , requires an increased amount of business . Does the Revenue show an increased amount of business ! If bo , why i 9 there a falling off 1 Why is there a defficiency \ To whom , then , is provisions M cheapened . " To the tax-eater I To all who have fixed incomes ! To all whose money-means bave not been decreased ! These have benefited , and benefited largely too , by the Free-trade-produoed lowness of prices of produce .
And , in the nature of things , this must be so . Every reduotion of prices of produce must entail additional suffering and additional burdens , upon all who live by labour and by profits : while every such reduction must add to the means of the pensioner , the place-man , the salaried officer , and every one whose amount of income is fixed . Would not a Repeal of the Corn Laws , to do again what Peel ' s Bill of 1826 did in the great , and , what Peel ' 9 Tariff of 1842 did in the less , be a blessing I Who feels inclined , after the woeful experience we have had , to try it ?

Dear Sir , —We have been informed by some of tbe leading Wbi ? s of Nottingham , tbat you w&a eo mean as to accept of £ 28 . for lecturing , and otherwise assisting at Mr . J . Sturge ' s contest «? ith Mr . J . Walter , senior , and likewise that you went to Mr . John Rogers , one of the rich Whig leaders , ( at the late contest between Mr . Gisborne and Mr . John Walter , jnnior , ) and demanded of that gentleman £ 19 . for your services , and Mr . Rogers told you he bad no funds for such purposes , . And farther , we have been informed tbat at Mr . Sturge ' s contest yon applied for , and received £ 5 . for a gentleman who was very active in that election , and only paid over
to him £ 3 , and pockelted the other £ 2 . Dear Sir , these reports , witb a variety of otbera of a similar character , are very industriously circulated . ; therefore we think it our duty to inform you of tbe reports tbat you may bave an opportunity of setting yourself right , as we bave too much , confidence in you to believe anything to your injury . We therefore leave it to yourself , assured tbat yon can pat a stopper upon these reports , as for ourselves we are prepared to vindicate your character by publishing your answer in any of our town papers , or in any other way you think best . You can publish this communication ia the Star if you please , and we can give you names if you desire it .
We are , Dear Sir , Yours with all sincerity , John Baglet , James Woodhousjb , Thomas Wright . P . S . —The Whigs do ' nt like purity of election , neither do they like to bave a Six-point man forced upon them . No , Sir , tbey can't bear it , and tbat is tbe secret of all tbeir lying and calumny . My Friends , —I hare much pleasure in publishing your letter just as it is- I never got one farthing from Sturge or any other man for any service . I
never heard of Rodgers till your letter announced that there was such a person . I would be more likely to give him alms than ask him for charity . Do not mind what those ruffians say . Why does not Sturge's Secretary publish his account of the expenses , as I asked him ? Sturge owes me a new hat , and the price of a warm plaster . Tell them that Cobden , Villiers , Thompson , and the Leaguers travel , eat , and drink at the expense of the poor slaves whom they force to subscribe : that I travel , eat , and drink at my own expense , and not at yours or theirs . Your faithful , unpaid friend , Feargus O'Connoh . Leeds , Wednesday .

The Books op the late Executive . — We have received from some person , who calls himself Arthur O'Neill , the following notice , with a request for its insertion : —
" TO ALL WHOM IT MAY OONCERN . " I beg to inform all wbo are interested in tbe matter , and wbo are not aware of the fact , that Mr . John Campbell , ere his departure for America , placed In my possession tbe books of the National Charter Association , together with a large number of Cards of Membership , the which I was to retain until tbe sum of £ 16 15 s . 9 ^ d . due to him by tbe Association , as salary for services performed , be duly paid and satisfied ; " These instructions I am determined to abide by , without reference to tbe opinions of any ; and am prepared to enter into any arrangement consistent witb them , as well as to produce Mr . Campbell ' s authority for representing bis interests in this affair . ' ^ Arthur O'Neiel . " 180 , High Holborn , | London , " May 9 , 1843 . " We have another letter on the same subject from Mr . Thomas Copeland , Waterloo Town , who says that , on the Saturday after ** honest" John ' s departure , he went to the shop 180 , High Hotborn , and there found Mr . O'Brien , who informed him that the Association books had been placed in his hands , with similar instructions to those spoken of by this Arthur O'Neill . To which of the two therefore , or whether to either of them , the honour of being Mr . Campbell ' s accomplice Jairly appertains , toe do not pretend to say .
James Smith , Somer ' s Town . — We cannot furnish the information he requests . James Branton , Manchester — We have many communications on the subject , and shall give a succinct view of them all—Mr . Branton's among the rest . John Smart , Aberdeen , must take a like answer .

Each party has now had Us " say" on the Emmet trial matter , and we must have no more of it . Mr .

Davins was fined £ 5 or two months imprisonment : Petler was discharged .
Caution to Surveyors . —On Friday , Mr . James Green well , surveyor of the highways of Potternewton , appeared before Messrs . Goodman and Pawsos , at the Court-House , Leeds , in answer to a summons charging him with leaving a drain open and unprotected , and thereby causing damage to a haekney coach . It appeared that on Tuesday night , abont half-past nine o'clock , Mr . Lofthouse , solicitor , ns proceeding home to Chapel Allerton , from Ueds ,
and owing to a dram being open in Chapel Allertonlane , near Mr . Buckton ' s house , the hackney Mich was overthrown , and M .

The drain in question , which was oadei the care of the defendant , was undergoing tome alteration , and was left unprotected and onwatched ; and tbe bench fined the defendant £ 3 , and ordered him to pay 25 s . for the damage done to the coach .
An Impostor . —On Tuesday last , a good looking young woman , who called herself Mary Ann Robinson , alias Simpson , alias Sandiford , was brought up at the Court House , en a charge of having obtained money and a variety of articles of wearing apparel , from several persons residing at Armlej , and in different parts of the country , under the following circumstances . On Tuesday week , she went te the house of Mr . Wm . Akeroyd , clothier , Armley Moor Side , and inquired for some person 8 Bpposed to live in the neighbourhood , and after some conversation , she asked leave to stay all nightt which was granted . On the following morning , see obtained permission of Mrs . Akeroyd to let her daughter , a girl between ten and eleven years old , she
accompany her to Morley , where she said was going to the house of her aunt , to get some clothes , and she would return in the evening . Bat instead of fulfilling her promise , neither she nor the child was heard of till Friday morning , when the child was restored to her parents , oaring b 6611 found deserted near Dewsbury . It seems that after she had gone from Armley , on Wednesday , she ascertained from the girl "J « ~ had a grandmother aud other relatives residing « Dewsbury , and to them she quickly found nerwaji along with the girl , and , under some false representations , she" was not only allowed to remain tw Friday morning , but she obtained some six or sewn shillings in monev and some wearing apparel , oao mia
left Dewsbury with the girl she had taken her , saying that they were both going bacK » Armley Moor Side ; but soon after she got out m the town , she contrived to leave the girl . She cauea herself Sarah Awn Simpson , and she represent ^ herself as the sister , and as tbe cousin o'MT ''' zi miah Simpson , Armley , draper , by which she snoceeded in obtaining both goods and money , need scarcely add , that she is no relation to w-Simpson , but that she is in fact a base imP ° 5 ; rf ^ description of her person and dress was f 0 ' ""^ by the orders of Mr .
