THE PROJECTED STBISE . I ^ isr w eek "we Boxmfled the note of warning I Iiyas not without cause I Another siBiKS is being planned ! The plotters are again si work i The arrangements are being jBidfi ! . igjdn tf 3 implore of the people to hare neither jjand * ° T lot * ° ^ matter I Let the Leaguers hare ji aji t © themselves . Let them show their valour and jheir prowess alone ! Let them pat themselves" in positions of danger , and subject themselves to the penalises of tleash and transportingj if they are so incEseo . Let them leceive the punishments due for breaches of the law , if they be fool-hardy enough io commit them j £ and let them then be asked " how jjjgy ] &a ft f Bi 9 ^) r the sake of every thing dear iomaii jleJ DDi the people be ag&in / o& ' etf / Let tbem Ttsl be tie dupes of designing men , who get them jjj t Q the lurch , and then leave them there 2 Have jjcgasg to do with this new stbike ! Leave it with the League 2
It is in progress I We are snre of it . If we had gay donbl on the subject it wonld have been removed tj Ccbpets speech on Triday night last . He fdre leUs it to the House" I 2 ? o donbt he is able to do jji £ e reminds them that he foretold the last . Sobs i > n >! Bis present "foretelling ' isomrnous . The next outbreak , if the League c&n accomplish all they intend ,
is to be of a very-extenave character 1 The agricultural population are to K RISE 5 '! And this is to is the result of the Leagued efforts in the Agricultural Districts , is it ? It is to this end they are jrorkb& isit ? The DISTURBANCES a re not ¦ to ie confined to ihe Cotton District ! " So says Cobdes . He speafo by the card . He knows what ga League are" about ; and ie " foretells" what is to MBffito pass . Here are his words : —
» Tbej nngbS say fttst he was a prophet , who -would j ^ p tolcia Ins o-wn propfieeles ; "but , say vhat they » oa& ^ ovu > tell them this , as . indeed , he jaj * Jd them last year , THAT WORSE THINGS TTHSB E * STORE z thai presents &ty ipou'd have $ gEp is . a worse condition in the Xorik of England j JB 13 TH £ D ISTURBANCES WOULD SOT BE COXTCTED TO THE COTXOS IHSTSlCrS AIX )> S , but thai $ * y trcaW hsvi tte agricu l tural population RISING ^ m them , as thty bad . tiis manufacturing population last autumn .

Again we implore of the people to let the Leaguers have it to themselves . " Tonch not : handle not" I Slaughter and incarcerations will be again your lot , if you do i Play not the fool to please the League , and be laughed at for your pains .

THE QUESTION OF MACHINERY . The is the psrplexer ] This is the puzzler ! It wBl 2 nd bJJ their work , before it 13 fully arranged sad renled . However the present race of statesman nay calculate on being able to provide for , or Save *) 2 , the erfl hour ii threatens , ii will npsei aE their calculations and thwart all their measures . There is scarcely a man of tne present day that dare tackle the qnsstion . AH , almost , seem afraid « f it . They see it working the greatest of revolutions
eteging , completely , tbe entire relations of classes ; sad they dare nos interfere to guide its operations 1 TfejssaiJ inverting the order of nature , reducing u dvilisatipn" lo barbarous savagism ; and they dare wi even attempt to regulate its workings .

And yg ; snen an investigation 33 imperatively ussded . It is the first Btep necessary to be taken , More "sre can form a correct idea of the manner in Triaci ine question Ehonld be dealt wiih . In the abssces of correct data , do correct opinion can be farmed ; nor can legislation be safely attempted . It is dearths ire cannot longer avoid dealing wiih the saiter . Taa evils which the present application of MienmETT iuiict are too many and too dire to be longer staved of .

The pespis are especially interested in the instifaaag and prosecuting of seen inquiry . A coilectea of facts on which to ground well-devised EsaazKs of regulation are needed .

Tour Petitioners , tterefore , implore your Honourable Howe to take their case into your immediate ani moat serious consideration : and , by affording tbem some PROTECTION from that engine or misery , the Powerloom , give relief to the thousands of yonr peaceable , loyal , and Indnstrions fellow-subjects , now grovelling in poverty and "wislfihfedness through t&e all-absorbing iLflaence of that most injurious of hwnan inventions . And your Petitioners , as in duty bound , fcc .
As far as we understand , this is the beginningof a combined movement amongst those of the working classes who have been most subjected to the displacing operations of Machinery ; particularly the Hand-Loom Weavers , and the Spinners . The object is to obtain an inquiry of the nature we have indicated , and to call upon the Government for trotectioii against the stealer away of their livelihoods . Most cordially do we wish the project success 1 It is deserving of all counsel , all aid , and all countenance !

THE LEAGUE AKD THEIB PUBLIC MEETING . The League have ventured to put their nose out of their kennel ; and they have been drnbbed ! They have pretended to appeal to public opinion , in an open and public manner ; and they have been led to know where public opinion is I Tney have found , to their discomfiture , thai it is not with tbe Leagne , notwithstanding the possession and spending of their £ 50 , 000 !
We say pretended to appeal to public opinion . Let the reader refer to the account in another column of the League ' s " public" meeting in the liiding School , near to Regent's Park , London , and he will learn -why we say so ! It will be there seen thai tbougb this meeting was to be a public" one , it was attempted to pack it with holders of " tickets" \ I I This nefarions scheme was
detected and defeated by the promptitude and good generalship of the London men . AH honour to themi Most gallantly have they plsyed iheir part ; and most ser > iceable have they been to tbe cause The best wishes of their country brethren will attend tbem ) They have not slept at their post . They have no ; shewn themselves lukewarm-The enemy hoped to be able to steal a march ; and right well have they showed him what ' s what !
We wonder whether Cobdes , or Hcme , or Evans , or Rs . ll , or even the " Gallant Commodore , " will go to " the House" and say , that " the League have the people with them ; and that Chartism is down " I Imagine Joe Hume saying tbis ! Joey , who " cnt his lucky " , aad RAN into the Upper Gallery , front the people I Just imagine Joey saying this and being reminded of bis having to "lead the van " " when fiyaig to shelter from the indignant storm of the " Sovereign People" ! Again we say , all honour to the London men We thank them , in Ihe name of the Chartists of England , for the glorious victory they have achieved !
Pillow it up I Be awake . ' Suffer not the tictory to / lead to afals&seeuriiy J Keep on tbe watch I The enemy may try ^ again . If he does—meet hjm . The League have ' not public opinion with them ; nob is Chabthm DOWN ! If the Lsagne have flittered themselves imo a belief that it is so , they must be taught differently J

CRUMBS OF COMFORT . Our recent article on tbe " March of Machinery" has produced , as we anticipated , a great sensation amongst the producer ;; of woollen cloths . Many have been the shruggings of shoulders and shakings of heads , during the past week ; and many have been tbe surmises and inquiries as to what will become of tbe parties so surely to be displaced in the labour market by the " new" and " improved * machinery .
We have heard of the sayings and doings of one little knot of prodacers which are deserving of some little note . They were met together , as scores of working men now have to do , to hear the Northern Star read ; and of course the article in question became the subject of more than ordinary attention . Gloomy were the forebodings , and despairing were the conclusions that msny of thsm arrived at . They thought they saw TrnEii 3 XVf staring them full in tbe face . At length one man , an old man , bid them not to be complete !;
cast dovsn ; not to sink into toe earth at once ; but to look tbe matter full in ihc face , and see if there wa 3 not some means or other that could be adopted to make these new means of prodncing wealth work to the advantage of the workers . " Let us reason on tbis matter , " said he ; " here , on one hacd , is a machine capable of aiding in the production of wealth . Suppose that by its meaus one hundred pound ' s wor . h i 3 produced in one year , and the cost of keeping it is repair is teu pounds . Then there are ¦ n inety pounds clear gain to those who get it . We have an the other hand , a Bishop , who takes from us some ; £ 3 D , O 0 Q a-year . But he produces koihing .
Which do you think we coaJd do best without , the Bishop , " or the Machine ? We have Mrs . Adelaide also . She gets from us £ 100 , 000 every year . What does she prodnce ? Anything 1 Is she of any use as far S 3 production of wealth is concerned ! Is she as useful as the Machine ? Which would it be wise for us to dispense with , suppose it should come to be a question as to whether should go , Adelaide , or the Machine ? For my part I would keep the machine . I would try if it could not be arranged so that I ccnld have my share of what the machine produced ; and then I fancy . 1 should not be so very much against machinery . "
There are some very queer points put here J What does the reader think about tbem ? Ws hardly dare venture to express an opinion abont some of them . Good God , —where are we getting to—and what will become of ns 1

EAWORTH ,-Serious Accident . —On Monday , at Oxenhope , a small village near Hawortb , a person named Edward Moore , was seriously injured by a ball accidently tirod from a pistol by a neighbour . Statb of Tbads . —The trade in tbis part is very precarious , most of tbe factories running short time . Poverty is making its way into houses where formerly it was a stranger ; and parties who ased to find lault wiih those who complained of the Government , are now beginning to compiaia themselves most { utterly . BJ ^ NSLET .-A meeting was held in the Magistrates Room , in the old Court House , on Thursday , tbe 16 tb instant , to elect constables for tho year , when the old constables were elected .
HVVVSBSFlEfD . — Philosophicax Hall . —A Public Meeting , convened by the constables , in compliance wiih a requisition , signed by forty of the principal shopkeepers of the town , was holden on Tuesday night last , for " tU purpose of taking into consideration the existiDg distress , an for devising means for its removal . " The large Hall wa 3 crowded to excess ; not less then 2 , 000 persons being present . Mr . James Shaw was called to the Chair . The following gentlemen had been invited to attend : —Rev . Joseph Bateman , Vicar ; Mr . Frederick Schwann , merchant ; Mr . Stocks , gent . ; Mr . Moor , postmaster ; W . Williams , woolstapler ; Be ? jamin Lockwood , surgeon ; J .

Robert Owen , ( late of New Lanark ) : Mr . James
Rigby , Harmony Hall ; Mr . Lloyd Jones , London ; and Mr . Isaac Ironsides , Sheffield . The meeting , taken altogether , wa * one of the most interesting we eveT witnessed . Many and powerful were the remarks which fell from the various speakers . The following are the resolutions which were carried by an overwhelming majority — " That no empire , ancient or modern , ever possessed the same amount of surplus means to ensure permanent progressive prosperity without retrogressou , or what is technically called bad times , as the British Empire has Becured within itself at the present period . " " That the mass of the people of any nation , and especially the producers of wealth , never suffered bo much , even when possessing only half the amount of these national means , to ensure good times to all , and of course prevent bad times u > any , as the masses of the industrious now experience throughout Great Britain and Ireland . " " That the British
Parliament possesses the power , at any time , to terminate for ever thi 3 most unjust and grievous condition of the population of our country , and to set an example which must be speedily followed by orher natrons , by which the new scioniific power of production may be made to ensure the permanent prosperity of all Governments aud people , without any injury , but with great benefh , to every rank and class . " " That this most benoficial change can be effected by tbe Government making simple common sense arrangements , to properly educate , and wisely employ , ail tbe people who require the one or tbe other , and that this most desirable change may be now immediately effected by our Government passing effective laws to establish the unemployed upon tho land , under arrangements that will tbe most
economically employ , and , at the same time , will practically edncate the children of the cow unemployed , in order to make them good , industrious , and valuable subjects . " That this chaugo may bo so directed that the proportions of land , of mines , and minerals , of all building materials , and of every trade aud manufacture in the kingdom , as well as all capitalists , and every part of the population shall be permanently and essentially benefittcd . " " That tbe petition , memorial , and address , now read , be adopted ; that the petition to the House of Peers be presented by Lord WharncLffu ; to the House of Commons by W . R- O . Stansfield , E # q , and the memorial and address to the Q leen by Robert Owes , E ? q . " A vote of tbauks was then unanimously given to the chairman , and the meeting separated .
Os Friday , a meeting of the inhabitants in vestry was called by the overseers , to be held at the Pack Hot 38 Inn , at two o'clock , for tho puppose of preparing a list of names of persons liable to si-Tve as constables . A hat of , 120 was required . Mr . jL . Pitkethly was called to the chair . Mr . J . Hobson immediately rose and moved an adjournment to eight o ' clock in the evening , considering as he did that that time wonld be more convenient for the masses who were interested , to attend . The motion wa 3 carried , and the Hall of Science appointed as tbe next place of meeting . At the adjourned meeting a list of name 3 were proposed by }> lr . Hobson , and seconded by Mr . Thurgarland , which was passed unanimously .

Ths Fresch Government is about to appoint consuls at Zanzibar , in the dominion of the Jmua ' m of Muscat , at Janioa , the capital of Albania , and at Soussa , a town in the interior of the regency of Tunis . INFLUENZA A 1 IOXGST CaTTLE AND SflfcEP . —The contagions disorder which bas now for nearly four years , more or 3 a > s , attacked the cattle and sheep bronght to the London markets has this year returned with unabated violence . On every marketday both Smithfield market and all the leading lines of intercourse from it exhibit this from the number of sheep which are seen lying ia a condition incapacitated for walking . The principal effects on the heepare shown upon the hoofs , as inflammation , « md subsequently suppuration takes place round the coronet of the hoof , whicb , from that cause , is thrown off , thus differing from the common foot rot , the Feat
of which is betw en the claws . The extent of this disease is so great , tbat numbers of the sheep are obliged to b 9 brought to market in carts ; and in cases where the pens are not crowded , the poor animals lie down , and are iacapaWe of again rising . There i * no doubt , however , that the complaint is considerably increased by the crowded state of the pens , which are quite inadequate for their accommodation , whilst this circumstance defies the judgment of the butcher , who is thus prevented examining tbem . Tbe disease is also extremely prevalent amongst cows and other cattle , and since Christmas , Mr . Rhodes , the extensive cow-keeper at Kingsland , has lost one hnndred and seventy of the former . Another cow-keeper , in the neighbourhood of Gray ' s-inn-lane , also has lost forty-two within the last four weeks . In th ise the chief seat of attack is the Jungs , and if not rallied within fortyeight hours after the attack , their loss is certain .
Outwtttisg the Bailiffs . —A fetv days ago a person connected with Wright ' s travelling menagerie of wild beasts , was arrested for debt in Liverpool . With great kindness , before going to gsol , he u treated" his captors with a peep at the rarities in tho caravans , described each animal , and concluded a-la-Van Amburg , by stepping into the lion ' s cage , and intimating his intention of remaining there uu ; il twelve o ' clock on Saturday night , when they would have no power over him for a time , and if they must have him they must go and take him . This trick so tickled tbe person at whose suit he was arrested , that an amicable arrangement -was come to .
Loxg Holdings . —At one of the audits of Sir E . Blount , Bart ., of Mawley Hall , Shropshire , held som time since , an interesting statement was made , which , we believe may safely challenge tho whole country to produce its parallel . A friend informs us tbat several of the worthy Baronet ' s tenants were then and there contesting the point as to which of their famile 3 could boast of having rented for tne longest period oa the estate , when a fanner named Allen , who has for many years been highly respected by his landlord , satisfactorily proved that himself
and ancestors had either been in the employ or rented under the Blount family for a period of nearly 780 years !—that in fact , his ancestors had immigrated from Normandy with that family at the time of the Conquest , and from father to eon ca . dk succeeding generation had been retained on the estaie . This fact , of the authenticisy of wjhich we have uo doubt , redounds so roach to i ? e honour acd credit of both landlord and tenant , that we couhi . arnesiiy wish 'o see it gpaeraliy emulated . — Worcester Jauri ^ ai .

HOUSE OF COMMONS-Wednesday , Feb . 15 . Sir Robert Peel , in reply to Dr . Bowring , said that a recent despatch from Colonel Siioil couh ' rmed the rumour of the . deaths of ( Jolouul Stoddart and Captain Conolly in BokhaTa . The adjourned debate on Lord Howick ' s motion was resumed by Dr . Bowring , who called on Sir R . Peel to direct his attention to these things , which were a disgrace to a Christian nation . Other nations were adopting a restrictive policy under tho delusion that that which was workiag our ruin was tho cause of our prosperity . But the great principles of free-trade , being associated with the interests and the civilization of tbe human race , must ultimately triumph .
Mr . Stuart Wortley thought if the Corn Laws ware repealed to-morrow , their removal would not produce the effects attributed to them . Tue meaning of Sir Robert Peel , in his reply respecting the alteration of the law , was obvious to any mau who did not wish to distort it . Ha had declared that he considered the Corn Law of last session the best under all circumstances ; and that ho would not change it until he became convinced of its inapplicability to our commercial condition . Th 8 causes of the distress in that portiou of the manufacturing community connected with America , wore clearly referable to tho collapse of tha extraordinary specu lations in the United States , and not to an assertion resting on mere assumption , that we did not take their corn .
Mr . Wallace was satisfied that good would come of an inquiry into the general distress , tho amount of which he believed that Ministers aad their supporters were anxious to conceal . Mr . Esc vrr admitted ihe distress , and that it ough to be remedied , aud denied that the majority ot ' tto House refused * o inquire into its nature and extent . But Lord Howick ' s motion pointed to the Corn Laws , and was neither more nor less than a scheme for obtaining time , in order to adjust the terms of a moderate fixed duty and to induce the advocates of total repeal to support it . No rumody had yet been suggested but an alteration of the Corn Laws , although the difficulty bctwoen tne advocates of a fixed duty and of repeal compelled a resort to genorali ' . ies . But if the effect of a repeal of the Corn Laws would ba a cheapening of provisions , how cornea it that while reenndy prices have been reduced ono-third , the distress had also increased one-third ? Mr . Ferrand had attacked ths f . ee-traxle measures of
last session , for which ho himself bad voted , and which had led him to exclaim . " God bless Sir Robert Peel for cheapening oatmeal . '" The promoters of the motion , no doubt , calculated on the discontent of the agriculturists in order to effect their object of damaging tho Government : but that agriculturist « vas a short-sighted man who wn % discontented with measuroa which weria calculated to benefit the entire community . Balieving that Sir Robert Poel had done right in his free-trade measures , and hia alteration of the Corn Law , he toad supported , and would support him , and he behoved ihxt the buik of the agricultural int-vc&t would < io fo also . But the Anti-Corn Law Luagut ? , instead of being a safety-valve , was aboilsr to excito tbe steam : ) t irritated the passions of the peeolo . Had 5 ir Robert Peel been so foolish as to bind himself to any Corn Law , he would nsver have again trusted him ; but he disapproved of enacting such a law one session and repealing it the t \ ext .
Mr . Charles Wood affirmed that the distress was more general and more severe than had ever occurred in the memory of the oldest man ; and produced statements respecting tho condition of Leeds and its neighbourhood , where bankruptcy , loss of employment ; , and consequent demoraJizition , had produced fearful effects . Sir James Graham admitted that the great falling off in our commerce demanded tho attention of ' the Government and tho Legislature ; but the representatives of the peopla should pause before they held up the condition of the country a 9 one of permanent decay . Thus , in contradiction of one assertion , returns exhibited a positive diminution instead of
increase in the amount of mortality in all our great manufacturing and commercial towns . An unsound system of credit was amongst the causes of our present difficulties ; and , under the unhealthy iiifluenco of fictitious credit , tfiere had been an extraordinary increase in mills and machinery . But though the influence of that state oi things was not yet over , there were indications of improvement , and a gradual increasa in the demand for employment . The changes which had been effected by tho new tariff vyere unquestionably the greatest wnich had ever been mado at one iimd in the commercial legislation of this country ; and though sugar had not been included , on the distinct principle of maintaining our faith , in the face of the world ,
on the subject of slavery , j ' et tho price of that article had slightly fallen , stocks were increasing , aud demand was improving . He admitted the great importance of our commerce , and the necessity of ot providing for our increasing population by extending tho field for their empioyiuenJ ; aud none were more interested in this than the landed interest . But the utmost caution was requisite in measures affecting that interest ; otherwise agricultural might be superadded to nmnufauiuriug distress , and the greatest aud most widespread misery result . ¦ He cited Colonel Torreua and Mr . M ' Culloch in support of his argument and contended that no law that could be derived could prevent speculation in corn , for that depended on the nature of tha seasons . It was the duty of a
statesman to apply principles to particular instauces ; and though not setting up the home against tha fo reign market , nothingcouId be more disastrous to the mauolacturing iuterest than sudden changes in the domestic economy of this country . Mr . Laboucbere had taid that when the regular pilat did not undertake to carry tbe vessel of the state in a given direction , a chance passenger might undertake the duty . But it was requisite , in the first instance , to dispossess the regular pilot of the rudder ; and if the opposition sought a change in the Administration , let them frankly avow their purpose , and try the issue of the question . He concluded by a-general defence of the measures of the Government , and anticipated tho rejection of the motion by a commanding and decisive majority .
After a few words of explanation from Mr . Walace , the debate was adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . ~ Thursdav , Fbb . 16 . The Hou&e met at the usual hour , and some petitions were presented . Dr . Bowrinq said he wished to put a question to the Hod . Member for Knaret > borough . He had received a comnranication from the county of Giamorgau , ia which it was stated that the Hon . Member for Enaresborough wrote to certain individuals there
to get up petitions agaiust the truck system , and urging that these petitions should state , that a certain Member of tho House of Commons shared iu tho exorbitant profits of a shop which the Hon . Gentleman thought was conducted on the truck system . The question bo wished to ask was , whether the Hon . Gentleman made such a . communication to the neighbourhood , and whether the communication contained any such suggestions as he alluded to . He put the question , because he had some reason to suppose that he was it . e Mimbcr ahoded to . Mr . Fc-rbajd begged leave to state , in reply to the quooiiuu which had beeu put to him , that he had

a few days ago , received a letter from the neighbourhood of the iron works , which stated , tbat the truck system was conducted there in tho same duel manner that it was this time last year , ] and of which they complained to the House . Tbe writer stated ] also , that they received no redress , and asked him ( Mr . Ferrand ) whether there would be any benefit in petitioning the House . The writer stated , ia addition , that Dr . Bowring was a person ' who participated in the profits of the track system . JHa ( Mr . Ferrand ) , in reply , told the writer of the letter that it would be advisable to petition the House on the subject , and
that , if any Member of the Houso of Commons iu particular was guilty of illegal ; practices , he had a right to complain of it . I Dr . Bowrikg said , that as the subject was one involvit g character , he might sjMe tbat the Hon . GenUemau was wholly misinformed a ? to the character of the works in question . The payments were mide by cheques on the bank , aad the shop in question was one which conferred considerable bensfit on the neighbourhood . ' Ha ( Dr . Bowring ) gave directions himself that the law should not be violated in ihe SDirit or the letter .
Mr . T . Duncombe gave notice that on an early day in March ha would call the attention of the House to the mode of administering justice to those who ware concerned in the recent outbreaks in the manufacturing districts . Some questions were asked of , and answertd by , different members of the Government , and some motions were disposed of , after which Tho adjourned debate on the distress of the country was then resumed . The speakers this evening were , Mr . Peter Borthwick , Sir C . Napier , JMr . Cochrane , Mr . ViJliers , Lord Sandon , Mr . Muntz , Sir J . Hanmtr , Mr . Patrick Stewart , Mr . Colquhoun , Mr . E ' rancis Baring , aud tho Chancellor of the Exchequer . There was nothing important in any of their addresses . The debate wa- then , ou the motion of Sir A . L . Hay , once moro adjourned .

TO THE WORKING CLASSES . My Fbiends , —Y <> u will have learned much from the debate in the House of Commons upon ths motion . of Lord Howiok , which still " Draga its slow length along . " The cloven foot of Whig Malthusianism is discernable through . the mantle of philanthropy with which Howiok and his supporters would shroud their real object . Having carefully perused the several speeches , I do not find a line worthy of comment after Mr . Fcrrand ' s splendid speech , save and except the following L * ague-annihilating passage ia the speech of Sir James Graham . And now mark the passage well , aad read it over and over again , and then ask yourselves who has dinned the very same into your ears for seven long years , aad assigned it as a reasoa ( or opposing fires-trade . He say 3 , " Among the CHIEF CAUSES OF THE PRESENT EVIL WAS UNSOUND
CBSDIT , AND TO CREATE FRESH MACHINERY WITH BORROWED , CAPITAL . THIS HAD SET MANY MILLS Ilf MOTION , WHICH HAD AFTERWARDS BEEN STOPPED OB REDUCED TO WORK SHORT TIME . " Now , then , hftVO I not used the same argument over and over again in proof of the fact , that if the Corn Laws were repealed to-morrow , every spare farthing in this country would be devoted to the erection of new mills aud the improvement of machinery , to meet the anticipated extension of trade , and a revolution must follow 1 In fact , no limitation can be set by the most speculative mind to the extent to which
free-trade would increase gambling in machinery , and every motive in which direction must tend to the further depression of manual labour . Again , see what the Hon . Mr . Stuart Wortley says . He says" the causa of distress in Sheffield , is mainly owing to tho falling off in the American trade , upon which that trade chiefly depends . " Merciful Providence ! when will the time arrive when Englishmen will be taught , in the true senso of the word , how to live upon thoir own resources ? Their iron and steel independent of America ; their wool independent ot Prussia ; their flax independent of France ; their
land independent of all ; and themselves independent of tho worid for food and fuel and raiment . Mr . C . Wood asks for abundance and cheap ; as when food is cheapest the people are best fed ! What nonsense . When was food cheaper than now , and when where you worse fed ! As to abuudance of food making it easy of attainment , there is now more money than the haldors kuow what to do with ; aud you cannot get it . There are more houses than the owners know how to dispose of ; and you cannot get them . There is mora wearing apparel than they can store ; and you can't get any . Tnere is more food than all could eat . and you are without it . But they
say the surplus is iaconvenient and unprofitable for want of a foreign market ; well , but you were not even paid for creating the surplus , aad if , to-morrow , England had an order to supply the world with goods , in twelve months the surplus would be thirty times as great and tbe distress would be proportionately increased . Cheap and dear are relative terms , and the big loaf for sixpence is dearer to a maa who has not got a penny to buy it , than the small loaf at a shilling is to him who can earn the shilling . First catch your money , and then buy your loaf . But bo long as machinery can earn the loaf , be it large or be it small , you cannot get it .
Now I have a word to say to the " Calf ' s Head Observer'' of last Saturday . Under the head " Gleaning * of the week , " that journal professes to give a summary of interesting events . In two cases my name is mentioned , as follows : — "Mr . O'Connor , a fortnight ago , lectured ia Leeds on « Caattism , the Corn Law / anil the Laud , ' and concluded with two resolutions , viz , tbat Corn-Law repeal would be a positive injury Co the shopkeepers and ha working classes , aad tiiafc the meeting would pledge themselves to support tba Evening S ( ar . Two or three Chartists apoke in favour of Corn-law repeal , and contended that the Chartists ought not to become a pro-Corn-Law patty ; but Feaigua and bis dupes were too many fot them . "
" Two Bradford operatives having taken np flie glove thrown down b 7 Feargus O'Connor to the League , the reply Which they received was , that tue Chartist Corn-Law champion would discuss the question with the League , aad the League on ] y . So much for O'Connor " a . respect for the working classes . " Now , Mr . O'Connor did not lecture upon any such subjects , or propose any men resolutions , ai Leeds . Mr . O'Connor , so far from declining to meet the working men of Bradford upon the subject of the Corn Laws , did meet them , though not
appointed by the League ; did discuss the question with them ; did divide upon tho resolution aad amendment ; and did beat them : and further , Mr . O'Connor said that he would at all times audio all seasons be most happy to meet the working men ia discussion upou the question ; but if his challenge to discuss it ia the soveval towns proposed was accepted , that then his opponent should HAVE THE SANCTION OF THE LEAGUE . NOW , What must this chuckle-headed " calf's head '' thiak of of himself , or rather what will his fow readers think of him ?
I have this morning received £ 3 from Rochdale , and £ 1 12 a . from Thompson aud Co ., tea dealers , Halifax , for ths Defence Fund . I trust that on . Saturday night those gentlemen will sell that much , more tea than usual . In conclusion , I rejoice at the debate on Lord Howick's motion , as Parliament can no longer protend ignorance of the condition of the working classes . Next week we shall have a full report npon Mr . Duncombe ' Q motion on the conduct of Lord Abinger , —that will be of more importance to us .
ENGLAND IS NOW AT PEACE WITH ALL THE WORLD , ' EXCEPT HER OWN PEOPLE . THE FOREIGN MARKETS OF STRIFE ARE CLOSED , AND SHE KEEPS HER HAND IN AT HOME . I am , Your Faithful friend , Feargus O'Conxob . Thursday * evening .

DEATH OF RICHARD CARLILE . Carlile has passed from off thp stage of existence . His life has bten a busy and a momemous one : and it is right that a tribute of respect should be dropped upou hi 9 : grave ; for he has been usiful to the world as an HEji&LD of progrkss . Carlile was a stern and unfltEclnng opponent of oppression . He was one of the most determined registers of authority that England ' s latter days have seen . To him wo mainl y owe the comparative liberty of the press that we enjoy . He broke down the trammels imposed on it by government in 1817- He proved hirasrlf to be , at that period ,
a bold and stout-hearted man . THE THING was then in its full power , jits nails had not then been paired . " Late panic , " and " severe commercial depression" had not ; lowered its tone . It dealt with the " grumblers" with a high hand . It placed new restrictions upon the press . ft downed many of the peopl «' a advocates . Cobbett left England for America . It seemed as if all quailed before the storta . Carljle placed himself in the breach . He braved the utmost fuvy of the oppression . He showed that he was possessed of powers of endurance that tyranny could not break down . He triumphed S He established the freedom of the Press !
This was not done without suffering . He had his share . He was confined for isix years in Dorchester Gaol . As one instance ! of his unbending disposition and endunng powers ] when he conceived himself to ba in the right ,: we way mention that he was for three : years and never went out of his room ! The | Visiting Justices refused to allow him free access to the open air ; arranging t ^ at he should be led ' pat of his d ^ n for two hours a day when his keepers deemed it couvenient , thf-y attending him as watchers all the time . Carlile refused to bend to this shameful indignity . He demanded free access , like ' all the rest of his feliow-prisonera . He declared that 'till his demand was conceded he would not pass the threshold of his cell . H ; kept his word ! He was for three years within the four walls of his room ; and nevsr passed out . Then his demand was conceded !
Daring the time he was in Dorchester Gaol his wife and sister were also confined within its walls , and Newgate was nearly filled with martyrs to the cause or " free discussion , " who , fired by Carlile ' s zoal and bravery , had ruihed forward , one after another , to keep his shop in h ! i » absence . We honour the name of Carlile for the good he has done . We , of course , do not ihiuk that ho wa ^ free from imperfections . We believe him to have wrought much mischief , and to bave been a serious
pest to society in the industrious propagation of his pseudo theological and philosophical dogma 3 . Persevering courage and untiring industry were the charac : erisuc : s of his nature . These he , of course , evinced with equal constancy for ; the evii which he thought good , as for the most laudable of his public aims . But we are not of those who would perpetuate only tho dark side of a man ' s character ; and honco in speaking of Carlile we prefer to speak of hi * virtues . Of his good we speak : drawn be tho curtain over his failings !
A correspondent ha 3 favoured ; us with a notice of the leading events of his life . It is drawn up from memory , lie says , but be vouches for its correctness . It is written by Mr . Houry ScUithorp , of Westminsfer . We give it with pleasure ; because just now it is interesting , as serving to show tho nature of the battles Carlile had to fi ^ Ut with the oppressors of the people : — ; "Richard Carlile , the well-known democrattcal aad doisiical bookseller aud publisher , ( formerly of Fleet Street , London , and whoso name jhaa beeu , more or less , before the public tor about i twenty-six years , expired on Friday last ,, at his new residence in Bouverie Street , Whvteinars , in [ the 53 rd year of his ase . His bntenng upon political life was in a
small shop n ^ ar Fotter Lane . Previous to this , he had followed tha humble calling of a tm piata worker . This is not stated with a view to degrade Mr . Car-Hio ; for in whatever respect we' may ditfer with him , there is uue point upon which even many bigots are agreed ; viz ., that he was a man of unflinching integrity , and possessed of extraordinary powers both of mind and nerve . He was not , however , ambitious to claim all the merit of political daring to himself . Like Cobbeit , he acknowledged Paine as his political prototype : from him he professed to have ' received the first ray of ; light in his benighted intellects ? and from the ' Rights of Man ' ' the prooieoiitan touch that first -warmed nim into public Inc . He commenced his career as a
publisher by re printing Southey ' a early poem— ' Wat Tyler , ' at a period when its author—conscious that Radicalism was not the road to government promotion—was making strenuous efforts to suppress it : and , maugre tne endeavours of the laureate to effect his purpose , 25 , 000 copies af-the work foand their way into the hands of the [ people in 18 ! 7 ! Shortly after issuing forth Pains ' s political works , the same year , he reprinted the well-known 'Parodies' oa the Book of Common Prayer , which cobt him eighteen weeks iu the King ' s Bench Prison , from which he was , however , liberated , without trial , on the acquittal of Mr . Hone , their author . But it was reserved for the year j ! 318 to establish his ctlebrity , by his re-publication of jPaiue ' s' Age of
Reason , ' which had been suppressed through a period of twenty years . This brought him in collision with the then Attorney-General ( Sheppard ) who waited upon the pablisher , in the way ne expected , at tho close of that year . In the'October of 1819 , therefore , after no less than six successive indictments had been served upon him , ho was at length brought to trial at Guildhall , City , before L- > rd Chief Justice Abbott aud a Special Jury , upon a charge of' blasphemy , ' in having re-published the 'A ^ eof Reason' of Thomas Paine , and the ' Principles of Nature' of Eiisha Palmer , both of I wbich works he read in court , in his defence , besides havir g reference to a quantity of others ; which occasioned the trial to last nearly a week , durin . 2 which the
defendant was accompanied by several frie . ids . amocg whom were Messrs . Hunt , Sherwin , auJ Fry , the husband of the lair philanthropist . Mr . Car > iie hereupon rcc irrfd sentence to three years' iiaprisonnif nt in Dorchester gaol , and to pay a fine of £ \ 501 ) ; in default of the payment of which , he wa ~ retained iu the abovo gaol until the Novemberof ltf-5 , when he was at length liberated , after having completed tho sixth year of his captivity . Iu 1830-1 he wa = * a » ain brought to trial at the Old Bailey , for an ; alleged political libel , published in a weekly periodical calied the * Promptsr / whereupau he received s . uience to ba imprisonedior the term of 2 years in the CityCotnpter ; 3 in that
bat he eventually served hard upon years gaol . In 1834-5 ae passed 3 iiionthsjmore within the walls of the same building , for having made a most obstinate resistance to the demand made upon him for Church-rates by the parish of St . Du » 3 tan in the West ; thus completing a term of Hiue years and a half imprisonment ! For the last five or six years , he had resided at Eufiold in Middlesex , where , it would seem , he took no part in public affairs ; but where , in 1841 , he was overtaken by the , paralytic stroke , from which he never after wards recovered This abated his powers of public speaking and reading to bis last hours . The direct illness which accompanied his death , was , however , of but a day ' s
duration . . •* He stated , a few daya ago , thatl at the outset of his public career , he had correctly calculated on having to pass through five or six years of imprisonment , to appease the angered authorities for having defied their will ; but he had not , he said , calculated that , after having conquered such authorities , by self-sacrifice , the greater difficulty would remain , of having to conquer the ignorance Sand vice of the people , by still more painful sacrifices . This , he urged , had been his dilemma , which had destroyed his health , and driven him from public business to comparative obscurity and pamfuj poverty . It is evident that Mr . Carina did not think his dissolution
¦ wa 3 so near , by bis having announced to several gentlemen who spoke to him as ho lay in bed , only last Sunday eveutug , his iat-. 'i . 'ioa to deliver a lecture oa t-u succctc'irg Su'iixy eveaiag ; namely , tha 12 th iui'ant . " '
