To those who are unacquainted with the Process , the above statements may appear to contain paradoxes beyond their com prehension , but I pledge myself to give such explanations as shall cause every man who hears me to be satisfied thafc those statements are correct . I ara anxious that the new Manufacture should be carried on upon such a principle as will not grind the working man down to the lowest possible point of . existence , and in the calculations upon which my statement is based , I have allowed sufficient remuneration for the operative . Low wafc -es for workmen , and email profits for masters , will ruin any country ; By the new process ; the man may have good wages , and the master good profits ; and , uules 3 I am much mistaken , such will be the popularity of its productions , and the consequent demand for them , that in the space of a few months , few idle hands will be found ja the streets ; The ; indention is : secured to me by four Pateuts , all of which are necessary to make perfect Cloths . T can make any quality , but at present I shall cpn- fine myself to the best that can be produced . During the last ; two years , I have spent upwards of < fi 2 , 000 in Patents arid Experiments to bring it to perfectiou ; and the mental anxiety and bodily labour in devising plans , and rajsiug money , &c , has been more than my pen can describe . But far all this , my invention will stand or fall by its own merits ; aud , therefore , I take this method of challenging scrutiny and comparison . I shall not sell my privileges to any but those who promise to give Gocm Wages to Workmen . As I am tho Master of tbis New Fabric , I shall not allow any Children to Work at ifc till they are Fourteen Years of Age . Their Fathers shall have Wages to send them to School till then . No Child at Fourteen to Twenty-one , shall have less Wages than Eight Shillings per Week .

snch meeting rooms , and a General Council for each of them , separate from , and independent of , each other , but all subordinate to the w EngliBh Executive" as a common Head . Ibis is clearly his idea of the National Organization ; and this settles us in the opinion that he has never once read the plan of organization through , and that he is utterly ignorant of the state of the law in reference to political societies . He seems quite as innocent of all knowledge of the Corresponding Societies' Act & 3 of the amended and legalized plan of organization . He doe 3 not seem to know that A 5 ATI 05 A 1 POLITICAL SOCIETY , HATING MANY MEETING PLACES OS BRANCHES , AXD A GENEBAi
Corseii ro 3 government , svb-ORDnfAlE TO ONE GENERAL HEAD , WHICH OF ITSELF SUBSISTED AS AH EXECUTIVE COTJNCIL , DTSTINCI FROM ALL THESE GENERAL COUNCILS , VTOtLD RENDER EVERT ONE OF ITS MEMBERS liable to transportation . And yet , to avoid this , was the very purpose for which the Rational Delegate Meeting at Manchester was called ; for which its sittings were most anxiously prolonged for ihree whole days ; and for which the national plan of organisation assumed its present form ; much Ies 3 effective for operation than the old plan of districts , branches , Town Councils ,
County Councils , and Executive Council , hut absolutely necessary for Eafety and for the protection of the law . In fact , Mr . Philp seems &s utterly innocent of the character , and qualifications , and knowledge , most particularly requisite in a member of the people ' s Executive , as a child just born . We may here state a fact which it may not be amiss for the people to know . Of majiy oficial documents sent here for publication , by the present Executive , we have been obliged to alter the phraseology , to save the Executive from the hazard of coming within the fangs of the Attorney-General * It is highly necessary that t ' ue people should have upon their Execu ; ive , men who know what they are about ; men who know the state of the law , so far .
at least , as it may affect themselves in their official capacity , acd the society wiih whose interest they are entrusted . Let it not be forgotten that wb now live under a Tory Government ; and that every member of an illegal society is , by the law , held responsible for ail the oScijl acts of every officer of that society ; and thai it is in the power of the Executive , by -ignorance of the law , or by ignorance of , or inattention to , the plan of organization , to furnish an Attorney General with such documentary evidence as might be made most mischievous use of . These are aot matters to be trifled with . They are mattera to which the earnest consideration of the whole Chartist body should be given at this important
juncture . Mr- Phtlp goes on , in his letter to Eay : — u I regret that von permit your reporters to write teir own prejudices or feelings , rather thaa important facts , and that thus many good and confiding Chartists are misled- " Now , to what does this remark of Mt . Philp allude ? He cannot allude to the paragraph about which he professedly writes to complain j becausehe knew from the terms of that paragraph that it did not come from our reporter ; and also because he affects to treat that paragraph as coming from the Editor . And yet he does not cite any other instance to which the remark can apply . So that we have here an assertion made , without a shadow of evidence for it 3 support , evidently for no other purpose than thai of founding an offensive remark upon it .
Mr . Philp next treats us to a detail of his success in persuading the Chartists of different localities to be delighted with his Sturge Conference movement . We have shewn how much credit is due to his statements as to a very plain matter of fact in the c&se of the two Chartisi meetings , or societies , z $ Bath , and we shall only therefore say in reference to these statements that we hope he may not have practised ingenuity of the same kind to a like extent upon them .
3 Ir . Philp i 3 next pleased to oblige us with grave admonitions a 3 to how we ought to conduct the Northern Star . We thank him for his fatherly attentions 1 We are quite willing to trust the judgment of oar paper to its readers ; and we have no doubt vhat they are qnite as willing to trust its management to us . One Bentenee only , in this paragraph , requires our attention . It is this : — B Look to men ' s actions , and allow these to speak for themselves ; but do -not impure motives to men you do not know , and whose hearts aad minds you cannot read . * In connection with this sentence , we give also the last sentence in the lettet : —
H And in conclusion , I desir % < z # who have presumed to jadge hastily of my motives , to watch narrowly and unceasingly the actions of Rober . Kemp Philp . " Connecting this with his talk of an attack npon him " in the Star of each tceek , " Mr . Philp wonld insinuate that we are in tns constant habit of imputing unworthy motives to his actions . ( It either means this or it means nothing . ) ilr . Philp knows this to be false . We never but once even hinted at motives in connection with Mr . Philp . This was on the 19 th of March last ; just after the famous Bath Conferences . We then said , speaking of him and Vincent and others who acted with them : —
K We donbt not that they err from the excess of their anxiety to seize every opportunity of making converts to the Charter , and from their readiness to estimate the motives of others by their own , and so to give the middle-class Sturgemen full credit- for sincerity in their profession of Universal Suffrage principles : they suppose them to be sincere in wishin ? for Universal Suffrage ^ and that , therefore , they cau easily persuade them into the adoption of the other points of the Charter . We think them much mistaken ; and we still opine that their error will notce found less fatal for being amiable . "
This is the only time that we have ever even hinted at nrotives , in connection "with Mr . Philp ^ and we leave any one who reads it to say whether that juatiSes the sentences just quoted from his present letter . Finally , ilr . Philp assures us of his " friendship . " We can only reply that we r ; ei : her ask his friendship nor fear his enmity . We ask only for that " fairness" which he requires frt-m us , but which he has not shown to ns . One word more and , so far as we are personally
concerned , we have dene with this matter . A few weeks ago -pre ventured very mildly and respectfully to iiiUm&te tha > we thought Mr . Philp and a few friends of his wrong in a matter of judgment . We expressed that opinion in the language which we have above cited , in reply to his insinuation about mouvt 3 . We defy any man living to find in the Xorihirx Star np to that time , a word Ies 3 respectful towards Mr . Philp than those words which we there give , Mr . Pbilp , and hi 3 friend Mr . Yixcesi , had then a paper at command called the Vindicator , aad in the next Vindicator this very mild and gentle expression of a dissent from his policy was thus
referred to by Mr . Philp : — w Bat there are some mixed up with Chartism , to ^ tspr . jndiee and injury , big in self-esteem ; who , hsring imperfectly learned the alphabet of politics , presume to speak its language . Such men are but < i * ag 3 upon the wheel of human progression ; their ^ oraiion is of men , riot of principles ; their < iii ? ojrm ABUSE AND DE CLAMATION , not ARGUMENT . They seek to earn-a reputation ; and toi having the ability to gain a People ' s esteem for tkettseWes , they assail the characters of others , that they msy be elevated by their downfall . * * *\ Iae course 1 have taken I am sriil prepared to
defend , and will sliii pursue , notwithstanding the falsehoods of Bartlett , to which several additions are made in the Star of the 19 ih 5 notwithstanding the dictatorship of its Editor . ? ? 1 declare for INDEPENDENCE of thought and of achon . If I can fail to adduce argument and reason for my position , if I compromise a single principle , then lec' ytE " be condemned . I court not popularity , nor praise ; I labour zealously to advance the csaseof Chartism , but I am not to be turned from v&paih by every mushroom thai starts up in my WOK .- * * * * * * * Ijet those Crouch who will—I ' ll hot be a £ 11 VE . 44
This is the first time sines my connection with Chartism thai I have been called upon to defend myself frem malicious abuse and nisrepresentation j snil wiii resist to the last the tyrannical conduct of men , even though they cloak themselves by the na ^ ae of Chartists . " I repeat—doe 3 any honest Chartist desire me to state eorreeily what I have done , and what course I recommend lo be pursued , I will do so with extreme readiness and pitasure ; bul lei me not bs viewed through ike dsrkei . ed rr . ediun of ether men ' s thick hcadi -zrd Hack hearts .

This wa 3 Mr . Philf ' s reply to the language we have given above , and which may be read m the Northern Star of the 19 : h of March last . The italics , small capi tal =, and capiia ] s , are ali his own . We made , npon this piece of bluster , Borne few remarks the week following , and since then we are not aware that we have noticed him editorially at all . We have , however , given insertion to various paragraphs of public meetings which he has addressed in different places . These paragraphs have generally been of a favourable character , la last week ' s Star , for instance
there were as many of these favourable notices of Mr . Philp as make , altogether , something more than | a column of the paper ; to these Mr , Philp does not at all object . Bnfc then there was also in last week ' s Slar three lines from the Bath Chartists somewhat distastefnl to Mr . Philp , and on account of these three lines Mr . Ppilp thinks it necessary" to Bend us the letter upon which we are now commenting . It is quite clear , therefore , that Mr , Philp ' s idea of "fairness" is , that everything said of him is " unfair , " except it be gratifying , and that we ought to insert all resolutions , &c . in his favour , but none
that migat intimate the slightest disagreement with him either as to matters of opinion or matters of fact . Kow this does not happen to be our notion of "fairness" in discussing the conduct of a public man . We have every desire to oblige Mr . Philp if we can ; but we have a decided objection to do so at the expence of " f Eirness . " And we have , therefore , no alternative but to request that , in future , no mention of Mr . Philp , in any shape , " fair" or " unfair , " may come to thi 3 office at all . We shall then , perhaps , be able to avoid doing him the injustice about which his complaints are so ready and so bitter .
So much for the dispute between Mr . Philp and us . It is now over . We kiss Mr . Phjlp ' s hands and wish him " God speed ' in all bis good undertakings wherever he may go . He shall never more have occasiou to complain that wo '' in the Siar of each iceek" evince a disposition to create an unfavourable impression on the minds of the Chartist body respecting his acts . We now turn to a serious portion of our duty , This man is a candidate for the highest post of honour , trust , confidence , and usefulness , in the Chartist body . We ask the people to read his letter it
in ' . his week ' s Star—to wei ^ h well and carefully , and then say whether they think him fit for that post . We ask them , is the man who is " capable of thus deliberately seeking to establish a despotism of the press which would stifle the people ' s voice fit to become a member of the people ' s Execctive ? Is the man who is capable of the ingenious but palpable dishonesty of charging upon the Siar the statements publicly and openly made by his own neighbours ; is the man who can do this deliberate and wilful wrosg to one who never harmed him a fit man to be entrusted with grave responsibilities in the cause of right ?
We ask them whether so perfect an adept in trickery , casuistry , and insinuation as this letter proves Mr . Philp to be is a fit man to be put in the front of the struggle of simple honesty against all those qualities in the factions ? We ask them if moral honesty and truthfulness be a matter of no consequence in the qualification of an Executive Committeeman ! We cannot think they will answer in the affirmative . But if they should , we would then ask if they are willing to place the high destinies of our great cause again in the hands of a roan who is proved to be utterly ignorant of the plan of organization , and utterly ignorant of the meshes of the law , which may at any moment be drawn round him and ell who are connected with him . Let it
be - remembered that this present wceek decides the matter . We presume not to dictate to the people whem they should choose . But in spite of all the Tavings about "dictation , " we we will tell them frankly that we think they ought not to choose Mr . Philp ; and for this simple reason ; all the members of the Executive Committee should be honest men and wise men , and we think this letter of Mr . Philp ' s , proves him to be neither the one nor the other .

Wm . Russell dale of NottinghamJ . —We have received his Utter ; and , so far as we at present know of the matter , certainly . coincide icith him ' in the opinion that his friend has been ill used : ice think , however , that its publication would do more harm than good , especially as the public resolutions of last iceek will do much to neutralie , the poison of private slander . These , of course , Mr . Russell did iiot know of when he wrote . Will Mr . Russell give us his precise address ? J . W . —A householder whose landlord pays the rates may claim to be entered on the rate book , as though he paid the rales himself . He will then "be entitled to his vote ; but any composition on the part of the landlord for less than the full
amount of rate would disfranchise him . Thomas Bbiggs—We never received any letter containing an announcement of the Derby tea meeting and O'Connor ' s lecture . To his " remonstrance" ice can only ansieer , that in these cases we must remember that we have ell England , Scotland , Wales , and Ireland to deal with and for . H . B . Marlet . —On reading the " remonstrance" to which he refers , we find it would occupy vtore space than we can spare : it is besides unnecessary , as the National Ri monstrance adopted and recommended by the late Convention—has appeared in th-e Northern Star . John Skevingtox , of Loughborough , icriles : —
"AUow me to correct an error that appeared in the balance-sheet cf the Convention . It is there Elated that 03 81 L was sent from Loughborough . I sent it , and at the same time stated that 3 s . of it was from Mountaorrel , 2 s . (! d . from Easilake , and Gd . from a friend , which , deducting i-2 . for order and postage , left 5 i 8 d . I wish this to appear for the satisfaction of those who have paid the money , and for my justification ; cs it desirable that every man - that has to do with public money should stand . clear with those he has to do with . " We m ' ust really request that those who have the preparing of balance-sheets to send here will be careful to have them correct , and not let it be necessary for our space to be thus occupied , week -after iceck , icith corrections of public documenls . John skevingtox writes . —
In reference to the election of the Executive , while I would wish not to give offence te any one , yet I think the election should have taken placa at the time fixed in the plan of organisation ; or else a ' meeting of delegates called to alter the time . For , as « ne of the delegates present at the remodelJirg of the plan , I was aware , when the time was fixed , that the first Executive would not have to sit for a ¦ wh ole year ; and I think if vre cannot keep our o-wn ru ] £ 3 , we are not qualified to legislate for the country .

R . K . PHILP . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir . —I bare yet to complain of the disposition yon evince in the Star of each ¦ week , to create an unfavourable impression in the minds of the Chartist body respecting niy acts . In your paper of tha 28 : h of May , a note purporting tz be fiom "the Bath Chartists , " asserts that Messrs . Vincent and Philp have created division , and formed another Society . I have denied this emphatically before , and regret again to be called upon to reiterate the denial . The divisiop in Bith ( littlb though it be ) tvas not created by Vincent and Philp , but through tho conduct of your reporter , which has already been amply commeutdd on in the Star and
I'indicator , and condemned by resolutions passed at meetings in Baih , by large majorities of the Chartists . " I deay that any society has been formed in Bath by either Vinoeat or Pailp , or any persona with ¦ whom "we have connexion . Nor his any political society , that I know of , been lecently formed , the origin of whicb may cither directly or indirectly ba attributcxl to us . We have opened a large and comfortable room , capable of accommodating 1 , 508 persons—it is lit -with gas , and situated in the heart of the city , and this is applied to the purposes of the Rational Charter Association , has a general council for its management , and is under the guidance of the English Executive—and I have the greatest reason to expect that , ere long , it will render most essentiil service to our good cause . ''
I regret that you permit ycur reporters to write their own prejudices or ftelings , ratuer than important facts , and that thus many good and coofitiing Chartists are misled . 1 hope you will make the Star that whicb it ought to be—a fa . tbful mirror of the Chartist movement , and use its influence to promote union and extend organisation . I take this opportunity of expressing my heartfelt satisfaction a . t the welcome reception I have mbt with in all the towns I have passed through since leaving London . I have had most excellent meetings , and enrolled upwards of two hundred and fifty members in our Association . Everywhere iwben asked ) I have explained Hiy views on the Sturge syttsm , respecting which , I , with others , was so hastily condemned ; and my explanations have liven tfce utmost satisfaction , and -won forme ( I hesitate not to asser , ) the love and esteem of all who listened to them .
In Sbtffield , after explaining myself to a party of friends , a cuuncilior of our association , ot Fig-trea-lane , said , *¦ Ah ! in what a diftfcrent light I see and understand it now—hosv are the people misled !" In Bradford , after my lecture , a working man came forward find * eizel ic , v L ^ ml , anfl presdiDi' it warjjiiy , said , " I brfecg to the Manningbam Association , and when I saw the report of the Northern Star , I moved ; i Vfte of censure on you , and it was carried unanimously . I bave watched you very close ever since , and am convinced of my error ; and I feel it . my duty to ask your pardon for having thus injured yeu . " I thanked him for his honourable conduct , and told him 1 wanted not my pardon asked , but a mere expression of confidence . I could Uardly part from my frknd , he
seemed so hart at what he cad dune . At Queenshead , I was questioned on my conduct , gave an explanation , and received a unanimous vote of confidence . At Halifax , the good old veteran in our cause , Mr . B . Kushton , questioned me on the subject He said he bad sanctioned a vote of censure which had been passed by the Halifax Chartists , and bad inoved an addition to it which had made it stronger ; but he now begun to view my motives in a very different light He , therefore , put the questions to rae > , in the best of fefling , that I might bave an opportunity of explaining myself . The vote of censure bad been passed upon me in this place unanimously , and 011 this occasion the prime movers in it were present . I entered on a plaia and unequivocal explanation . I sought not to coax
my audience into Approbation . I condemned them for having censured without an investigation of the case , and concluded by saying that I rejoiced in what I had dose , because , although it had raised prejudice against me , it had materially benefltted the Chartist movement , and I declared tbat , when a similar opportunity occurred , I should act in the same manner , witu tha same motives . A Chartist brother moved a vofe of confidence . It was seconded ; and au amendment was moved tbat the expression of confidence be accompanied with thanks . The original motion was withdrawn , and the decision was unanimous and enthusiastic . In suveral ether places I have also received vot : s of confidence and thanks ; and thus am amply compensated for all tee ills I have endured through misrepresentation .
I trust you will , m fairness , allow this letter to appear in yenr next ; and if I may presume to tender a few words of advice to you , tbey shall be to this effect -. —Let all the reports in the Star be founded ob truth and impartiality ; let its influence be directed against the people ' s enemies everywhere , and do not every week make deadly direct and indhect thrusts at the people ' s friends and advocates . Leok to men ' s actions , and allow these to epeak for themselves ; bat do not impute motives to men you do not know , and whose hearts and minds you cannot read . Let your sole endeavour be , to gather np the scattered strength of our body—to illumine their minds , and warm their hearts , and cheer them on in the struggle , until liberty is enjoyed by alL Thus , like the Star of Bethlehem , you will conduct the ' ¦ good and wise" men to their Saviour .
I make these remarks in friendship , fully bearing in mind the resolution of the Convention , on whicb / am determined to act . And in conclusion , I desire all who have presumed to judge hastily of my motives , to watch narrowly aad unceasingly the actions of Robert Kemp Philp .

HOUSE OF COMMONS / Tuesday ^ May SI . The first business of importance in both Houses of Parliament was the agreeing to ari address to her Majesty , congratulating her on her escape from the " atrocious and cowardly" attempt on her life , and expressing the feelings ; of loyalty and devotion which actuated the legislature . The address was proposed in the House of Lords by the Dake of Wellington ; and a message was Bent down to tb . 8 Coinmons , asking their concurrence in it A committee to manage the conference was accordingly appointed ; and on ita return , Sir R . Peel proposed the adoption of the address , or rather the concurrence of the House in it , expressing , with considerable emotion , his feelings on the occasion . \ . ' ' : V
Lord John Russell seconded the motion , giving utterance to similar sentiments ; and the concurrence of the House was expressed by an unanimous shout of assent . •;• ¦ ... ¦' . v . ' . " ¦ . "'¦ ¦ ¦ . ' .. ¦ - '• ' . ' . ¦ : ' . ' ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦'¦ ¦ It was intimated by Sir R . Peel ' that her Majesty would receive the address on Wednesday . It was ultimately agreed that tha : House should meet ab » quarter-past two for the purpose of joining their Lordships in going up with the address . On the motion for the resuming of the adjourned debate on the third reading of the Income Tax Bill , Mr . Labouchere asked a question relative to tho rumoured , intention of the French Government to raise the dnUes on linen-yarn imported .
Sir Robert Peel replied that some such information had reached them , but that the British Government had promptly given an expression of its regret at the adoption of this intention , snonld it . be so determined on by the French Governments We were now engaged in such ^ co ^ muni ^ tioDB with other winegrowing countries , as might make tho people ef the South of France deeply regret the suspension of theii intercourse with this country . Several other questions were asfced ; one by Mr . D'lsratli , addressed to « Sir John Hobhouse , respecting the suppression of some of tho documents connected
with the occupation of Afghanistan ; and a question from Mr . Vernon Smith , addressed to Sir James Graham , respecting what he considered to be " the theatrical parade , " and unseemly proceedings , on the occasion of the preaching of the ¦ condemned ser rion " on the Suad . iy before Good's execution . Sir James Graham concurred in opinion with Mr . V . Smith as to the impropriety of the proceedings , but said tbat tho Secretary of State for the Home Department had no direct control over the civic authorities , though he had no doubt that they would attend to any repreaentions which might be made to them .
Mr . Hume then took occasion , on the third reading of the Income Tax Bill , to . give expression to his sentiments on the commercial situation and prospects of the country , and tho commercial measures of the present government . He regarded Lord Palmerston as the evil genius of the lata Government , loading this country on from war to war , till it was plunged in the mire of the financial difficulties in which the present Government found it Sii R . Pcel should deal with public affairs as he would with his own , and not permit any -wasteful and unnecessary expenditure of the public money , in keeping up naval and military establishments far beyond the exigencies of the public service . The country was now less able ta bear the pressure of additional t xation fhan when its commercial affairs were in a prosperous condition ; and on these and other grounds , which he stated at some length , he opposed the bill .
Sir Charles Napier expressed his strong disapprobation of any proposition for reducing our naval and military establishments , but , at the same * time ; deprecated additional taxation so long as the monopolies in corn and sugar were maintained . After some observations from Colonel Wyndham and Mr . Curtels , Mr . F . T . Baring asked if this were a bill which apportioned the harden of taxation fairly and equally on { the public ? There was no allowance to be made for losses under different schedules ; and a merchant might bave to pay his income tax on a given amount of
stock , while big losses in trade might be double tho amount of his dividends , and thus the actual result leave him without any income at all . Passing in review the different arguments against the bill . He pointed out the breach of faith in taxing the stock belonging to foreigners , not resident in this country ; and expressed his fears for the result of the application of a tax on industrial eapital , leading probably to its abstraction from the tradeof this country . The moral influence of this tax was also to be taken into account , its its tendency , from its inquisitorial nature , would be disastrous to the character of the country . , [ " ' .
The Chancellor of the exchequer' re-adduced the former arguments in support of an Income tax , contending thit there now existed that exigency in the public finances -which called for its imposition . The collection cf the tax is to be placed under the Commissioners of Assessed Taxes , who will be enabled to do so at an additional cost of about £ 30 , 000 to their present establishment ; and the entire exnenco of collection , including establishment , salaries , travelling expences , && &c , will not beabove one-hatf of theexpeuce cf the collection of the former income tax , which , in 1815 , was about £ 300 . 000 . Mr . Mangles entered into a review of the condition of our Indian finances , with a view of shewing tij ; it they were not in the embarrassed state asserted by Sir Robert Peel when he proposed the income tax .
SirR . H . iNGLis expressed his regret that his suggestion had not been adopted by the Government , of only taxing income above £ 150 , which would havo been a great boon to a large class of people of small incomes , varying from £ 150 to £ 200 . ¦ Mr . VillierS contended that the income-tax was politically unwise , and , -practically , atrociously unjust . Its necessity had arisen from bad legislation , interfering with trade , limiting the home market , diminishing expeuditute , and deteriorating the condition of the people . Mr . DISRAELI replied to some of the statements of Mr . Mangles on the subject of our Indian finances . Mr . Broiheuton argued that the income-tax must necessarily fall on the working chases , inasmuch aa any tax cu trade diminishes profits , anil reduces wages . On a division , there appeared

High Life below Sxa irs . —A . gentleman of for * tune , residing in-the neighbourhood of Hampstead , and who for some time past has been sojourning at a distant part of the couiitry , returned unexpectedly to his house at Hampstead on Thursday evening last , and on arriving at his residence was surprised at perceiving lights issuing from the windows of hia best apartments , whilst shouts of merriment , mixed with the musical sounds of aharp and other iustruments , broke from the interior of the mansion . Mr . —at first conjectured that he must have made a mistake , and that he had in a temporary absence of mind wandered to the residence of a neighbour . Bug no ; to relievo his doubts , Sancho , the yard dog came bounding towards him . He was at home , and
feeling curious as to the cause of all this revelry , the house having been left solely to the care ot the servants , He cautiously : made his way into the premises through a back entrance , and succeeded in gaining a balcony extending round the windows of the first floor , whence ho could comtBaiicl a view of the interiorof ' the drawing-room , when , to his surprise , lie beheld a scene that completely bewildered him . A numerous party was assembled , dressed in every variety of costume , representing a motley crowd of Jews , Gipsies , Turks sultanas , sailors , soldiers , &o ., ail commingled together in chaotic confusion * and playing off the most practical jokes imaginable on each other . On perceiving these strange visitors locaud wiihin his habitation , the gentleman conceived
that some friend or neighbour had " borrowed" his rooms on an emergency for a fancy dress ball ; and he was on the point of retiring from the spot to make inquiries of the servants , when , lo , could he believe h ? s eyesight ; bedecked ia the costume of & trandTurk , with a luxuriant display of beard , that might have excited the epvy of a bonajide bashaw , forth 9 talked front amongst the crowd in the back drawiDg room , no less a personage than Sam , his under footman , leading daintily , by the " bluBhing fineer */ ' Sally and Susannah , the belle de cuisine and femtne de mansion of his establishment , both ladies attired after a faehion that would have pu «* zled the united conclave of antiquarian damea throughout the entire kingdom to have defined . The appearance of Sam and his smirking "handmaid " at once elucidated tho mystery . Mr . —sprang through the open window into the room , when a
scene ensued tbat beggars description . The magic word " master ! " never produced greater consternation among a eet of urchins engaged in the revel of a schoolroom riot , than did thatexclamation from tho united voices of Sam , Sally , and Susannah produce on the motley set assembled in the drawing room aforesaid . Sauve qii i petit was tho order of the night . A ' rush was made for the doors . The crowd j in their eagerness to escape , blocked up the head of the staircase , and the efforts of those in the rear threw the foremost off their legs . The mass gave way , and Jews , Gipsies , and Turks , suUanos , sailors , solriiers , cum multis alm rolled head long down the stairs , amidst tho screams of tho women and the frantfc struggles of the men . The intrnders were bunded out of tho house sans cewmbxie , to seek their respective domiciles as best they might , and the servants employod in the establiebHaent received police to Quit forthwith .
