So then the poor Chartists are to be pat down in Ireland by the police ! Shame 1 O'Conaell , shame upon you I We throw back the lie in jour teeth , relating to the opposition of the English trades to the su « oes > of Irish xnannfaetnera . Just one word to Mr . Steel We belkre he u a fighting man , and we offer him a bet of a ten pound note that , if he s » jb to O'Connor ' s faee what he has , coward-like , said behind his back , that Feaxgua O'Connor will know what to leg to him , jort as well as he knows what to B » y to those who would call the Irish Roman Catholic Clergy nicknames .
Since the above was written , we hare receWed the I > ublm Monitor oT Tuesday ; and we perceive that Chartism sticks to the stomach of the hoary old traitor like an emetic It is a bitter pill for him ! Bnt he has discovered an antidote most rich and kindly in the *• new move . " At his Royal Loyal " meeting of Tuesday . *• Mr . O'Coitxeu , would take the opportunity from that spot of caDinc npon his countrymen in England totally to avoid any connexion with the Char tists . Their advocacy of Repeal would tend most to impede it , and THE SUCCESS OF CHARTISrf IN IRELAND , which was
impossible , WOULD ALONE MAKE HIM ABANDON HIS PRESENT AGITATION . ( Hear , hear . ) He underload that there teas an Association about being farmed , at the head of which were Messrs . LoveU > Coliins , and Cleave—three of as good fli « n * s were in the community—having for its object HOUSEHOLD SE 7 F&AGB and SHOBTBNING THiS DURATION or riRi . umorr . and pbbfjkctlt ukconnkcted with Fsasgus aod his wild associates ; tad instead of impeding reform in Engl and , ( his Association might be made exceeding l y useful tJN » ga piiopkr manageksnt , and the guidance of the men whose names he mentioned . ( Hear , hear . )
Now , then , is the cat ont of the bag ! Are the New More " men satisfied with their distinguished and consistent patron ! and what say the people to the connection ! ! $ 9 > So the people see for what and far whom the " Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Foot Hundred and Eighty Pounds , " are to be raised . ?!!

He will see it in our prettnt number , Richabd Edwards thinks that u if the Charter was printed on a l arge sheet simi lar to that given tcith the London Dispatch when the Convention sat , and sold at a penny each , it would be of real utility to the national movement . Thousands of Chartists have never read or teen , thi Charter , and thousands of fur enemies kntw
nothing of it . If it was printed in this form , U vould be a family document in every Chartist ' s dwelling ; all would read , and , by being suitable . for placing on the wall of an apartment , or in a frame by those wh » could afford it , thousands of our enemies by ignorance , would have an opportunity of reading our principles for themselves , and reflecting upon them . " We think so too ; the Charter cannot be t * o well circulated , or in too many forms . West BRisrOL . —There is no suchiffieer in the National Charter Association as Steward . Will Robert Matou , Ute of Coventry and Men-Chester , favour Edward Clayton , of Huddersfield , with his address .

facts contained in it shall not be lost sight of . \ Constant Reader of the Star recommends , for the insuring of numerous signatures to the National Petition , that every town should be provided with its oicn Missionary , to be called a *' Home Missionary ; " very large toicns and cities should be provided with two or three , as the extent of their labour might suggest . It should he the duty of these Missionaries to go from house to house , missing no rank or depree whatever , except such as they well know to be opposed tojhe People ' s cause . And let it be their duty to give a short , pointed , and emphatic description
of the nature of the evils which effiict our country , and which will presently bring us all to utler ruin , if not prevented very speedily . Let them at the same time point out . and explain the People ' s Charter , as being a safe and effectual - remedy for removing our present distress , tnd o f establishing permanent prosperity . Now , let this plan be carried out as it ought to be , in every city , town , village , and hamlet in the United Kingdom , and then I will venture to say that we shall have such a national petition" as teas never before presented to the British Government . Josiph Gerald Wagbtaffr . — We have no room .
George Sttlis writes hs that the Christian Chartist Church in Birmingham has received during the quarter til 13 * . 9 ^ d . Of thi s sum £ 8 has been given to the families of the incarcerated , exiled , and deceased Chartists ; £ 7 7 s . to the delegation to Leeds ; £ Z to the Missionary of the Church . A sum ( not calculated ) has been devoted to the gratuitous education of 50 youths in grammar and reading . The remainder { with the exception of £ 18 still on hand , after clearing all expences , ) has been devoted to Ihe spread » f " Christian Knowledge and Teetottl Chartism . " He adds : — " Let us go on in the spirit bJ Christian emulation ; let our motto be in the spirit of the Spartan ' s epitaph : * He was noble , hut Sparta had many a nobler son than he . '" lUe tery cordially respond to Mr . Style ' s sentiment .
Gracchus . —Yes . A Letter was sent from this office last week to If organ William , George Town , Merlhyr . If it was received , will thank him for an immediate answer .

Willjam Rcsskll recommends every individual to go every Monday morninp to the Post-Office with a petition directed for some member of Parliament , taking care that both end * of the petition mty be open , that it may go free qf pmstage ; and to continue the practice of thus petitioning individuall y every week until the end tfthepresent session . It would doubtless be » ne mode of annoying the enemy , but to make it effective it should be universal , and perstveringly persisted in .

His letter -w .-is delayed a fevr days behind the usual time , from some " scrapa of poetry " which it contained , in praiso of " the people ' s cause , " something similar to tbo Marselloise Hymn , not being paUUble to his inspectors , which wura accordingly obliterated before it was alloweJ to pass .

A WEEK ' S DIARY ON THE TREADMILL . " On Monday , tho 22 nd of Fubruary , after dinnar , I was examined by the surgeon , and reported fit for torture , and immediately put upon tht » wheel .

At breakfast eat a few mouthsfal of bread—at dinner the sight of food loathsome—sick—at supper could eat nothing—slept that night about an hour—extremely stiff and weak .

At dinner swallowed three or four spoonsful of soup , with a little bread , in the hope that my appetite was returning ; but very unwell , and Tery weak all the afternoon .

•• On Monday morning felt rather better from tha Sunday ' s rest , &c Employed , with about a dosen other persons , in scraping the brick walls , and limewashing tha prison , which , although confessedly bard labour , yet I both eat and slept well after it , and find that I can do as much work , to the full , as any of my fellow slaves , from which fact one of two things is cruell y evident , that either the treadmill is an instrument of poidshmeni ao barbarous as to render its use disgraceful to a Christian country , or that my frame is so peculiarly constituted as to render that a torture to me which ia only hard labour to others .
" It mnut oe obvious to all , who may learn the feet , that my apprehension of a fatal termination being put to my life by the operation of the mill is anything but imaginary , as it ia impossible for any human being to survive many weeks such torture as I have above bnt very faintly described ; nor would it have been likely that I could have been able to have kept hold on tbe mill many days longer , a fall from which most likely would caoae a fractured Bkull , or a broken limb . ; and such is the suffering state of my mind and body when on the mill , that euch an event has ceased to be a matter of apprehension or alarm .

And thus has the Government provided for three yean agitation , by the end of which I give them leave to reckon tbe profit , and by which time , I doubt not , every highland glen , lowland valley , hamlet , town , city , and village , in our native bind , will ring with the story of our woes and wrongs .

TO THE WORKING MEN OF GREAT BRITAIN Mr Friends , —During a long protracted illness through the winter , it has afforded me peculiar pleasure to read in the columns of your own Journal—the KoiViernStmr , the records of your victories over tbe Household Suffrageist * at Leeds , and the Leaguers in London . I have also been highly gratified at the reports of the triumphal receptions which you have given to those champions of your cause who have suffered in yov service .
With respect to Martin , there is little doubt that an action would lie against the Governor of the prison for putting him on the treadmill , and for every hour he was confined in tbo dark hole for refusing to comply with this unjust demand , as though a particular Act of Parliament gave power to the magistrates U » pat certain prisoner * to hard labour , though not sentenced to the same ; yet it is clear the intention of the Act contemplated only such hard labour as would be of a remunerating character , which it would be incumbent on the Governor to shew that the labour of the treadmill was .
I lejolce to leara that Carrier is at length off the treadmill . I trust , through your exertions , Peddie also will be soon delivered from this inhuman torture . It will be to the lasting disgrace of the present Ministry , that tbd future biographer of the "poet , Peddie , " Will have to record that he suffered worse treatment at Beverley , under a Whig Government , than the " poet , Montgomery , " did at Sheffield , or the " poet , Leigh Hani , " in ; London , from a Tory Administration . It is most gratifying to find that O'Brien is not forgotten by you , and that a fund is raising to purchase and present him with a printing press and type . This la as it should be and is due to him by the people , ia grateful remembrance of tha editor of the Po » r Mon - $ Guardian .
And now , what w to be done for O'Connor T The position which he occupies , and his unwillingness to accept anything of a pecuniary character from the people , might render it difficult to mark your sense of his BtrviceB in an especial manner . Might not , however , a fund be itaised , to be called " The O'Connor Fund , " with a view to bear his expenses In getting into Parliament 7 That is the place for him ; tor while lie is one who would never shrink from meeting you ' ia your popular assemblies , his presence in Parliament would quell the enemies of the people , and in five years would , I have little doubt , make the House too hot for some of the officials . Persevering ia purpose , aaii ready in mental resources , he would know how to fight the forms of the House against its votes ; and , Fabiuslike , would even win the victory cunctando , by delaying all other business till the people ' s rights ate conceded .
Such a fund would enable each of you to mark the high sense you have of his past services and sufferings , and would do honour to him , while it would really benefit yourselves . I am , Dear fellow-countrymen , Your faittiful friend , William Yillisrs Sanjcet .
>*> CHARTIST PERSECUTION IN IRELAND . TO TUB EDITOR OF THE XOKTHEBIT STAB . Liverpool , April 12 th , 1841 . Sir , —I send you for insertion a verbatim copy of a letter which I received last week in answer to a communication from me , from my friend and fellow labourer In the cause of democracy , and which I conceive to be my duty to make public , having his consent to that effect , as showing , in true and not overcharged colours , the amount of assistance which we , in our endeavours to procure the establishment of the principles of the People ' s Charter , may calculate upon from those who , by a system of legalised robbery , have contrived to attain a step higher in society than ourselves , and a junction with whom some parties whom I would still wish to believe honest , are in a pains-taking-way thrusting upon us for our adoption .
I cau scarcely trust myself to speak on the conduct of him , who in his capacity as a minister of God , and a pastor of that church to which I myself , in common with my warm hearted and noble minded friend Mellon belong , has felt it to be his duty to hurl his denunciations publicly from a Bpot which is held to be God ' s sanctuary , and dedicated to the worship of the Most High , against ene whose only crime was asserting that man stood equal with man in the presence of his Creator , as the common Father of the human family .
Your readers can , I have no doubt , remember two letters which appeared in your paper last November , from Mr . Mellon , detailing the conduct pursued toward his aged mother by the sbopocrats of Antrim , at whose instigation Lord Ferrard withdrew the paltry pittance of two shillings per week , which she was in the receipt of since the death of her husband in 1828 , who was killed in Lord Ferrard's service in that year . Aud in the Star of March tbe 26 th , a correspondent offers a suggestion to the managers of . the Victim Fund with regard to tha propriety of placing Mrs . Mellon on the list of recijjieata from that fund—say the payment to her ef the two shillings weekly , of which she was bereft , in consequence of her s ^ n ' s disinterested advocacy of democracy , a suggestion which was fully in accordance with the feelings of all who had the pleasure of knowing him . Belfast , April 4 th , 1841 .
Jlv dear Friend , —Perhaps by the time you will havu pronouncod a verdict of ingratitude or neglect againsc m « for not answering your letter before now ; the fault was not mine , as the following Will show . Your letter went to Antvim as directed ; after considerable delay , whether intentional I cannot s > y , but I received it unsealed , and very much soiled ; and , from the Charti st labels being attached outside , I bave no hesitation in saying , was read by every established tyrant from Dublin to Antrim . My dear Friend , —Since I last wrote to you , I have been harassed and persecuted beyond description ; the en 6 mit 8 of popular rights having employed all and every means to crush me ; having succeeded in their first attempt , and finding it far short of tho accomplishment of their objtct , they set again to work . They prevailed upon Lord Ferrard to eject my mother
from tho house whi ; -h she had occupied for twenty years , aod they bo arranged affairs , that she could nut procure another in Antrim , enly on condition that I should leave the town . As matters stood , I chose the alternative ; and , o heaven , M'Cartney , can you believe it , I was denounced from the altar , yea , that same altar , at which , from my childhood , I had worshipped my God . Yes , I was denounced , together with my principles , as being base and disastrous to the welfare af the state , and subversive of civil order . If the desire to see God ' s creation happy , be tinged with these qualities , then am I the offender . If the desire to see my beloved country rescued from the vultures who feed and fatten on the misery they create ; who riot in the blood-sweat of her toil-worn sons , be a crime , then am I a criminal ; but no , I glory in my principles ; in my position as an Irishman determined to be fnee .
My dear Friend , —Since my country struck for her liberty , ia 1798 , to tbe present moment , never was a man more relentlessly and determinedly persecuted , than I have been by the bloodsuckers of Antrim , and none , permit me to say , more respected by the intelligent of my own order . I've a sigh for those thai love me , A smile for those who hate . Whatever sways above me , I ' ve a heart for any fate . I have at present no settled residence , having left my home two months ago—an exile , a wanderer , in the land of my birth , " my hopes and my home . " But all the tyrants have done , and all they ean do , shall net prevent me struggling for my liberty , and that of my fellow man .
• In embarking in our good ship the Charter , I said , that amongst the crew I should , at least , do one man ' s duty , and that I shall do , alike regardless of lordly , lay , or clerical intolerance . My respeeU to all the members of the Association , whilst I remain , Your Brother in the cause of the Oppressed against tb e Oppressor , Francis Mbllon . To Mr . Bernard M'Cartney , 16 , St . James ' fl-straat , Liverpool .
Your insertion of the above will much oblige one who can with difficulty master his feelings whilst perusing a simple narration of such cold blooded atrocity . Fours , in the cause of Democracy , Bernard M'Cahxhit .

HoHRiB&E Death . —Yesterday afternoon , between five aud six o ' clock , a dreadful accident occurred to a young man named Hezekiah Ga # e , . twenty-ftre years of age , in the employ of Messrs . Bicknelland Co ., sperm oiimanufecturerB , Newinelon Butts / Ho was superintending a large cauldron of oil wj a boiling state , when he fell into it . His sWeami attracted the att * ntion of his fellow-workmen , and as soon as possible he was extricated ; b « t in euch . » shocking state , that they were obliged to oonvej him to Guy ' s Hospital in a blanket . ¥ pon being divested of his clothes , portions of his flesh came away with it ; and bis whole body presented a most dreadful spectacle . He lingered in the most excruciating agony till midnight , when he became totally insensible to paia , and early this morning tha friendly hand of death relieved him from further suffering .
Violent Assaumv—At the Brentford Sessions , yesterday , * a young man , named Thomas Silvester , was brought np for re-examination on a charge of having assaulted a policeman , named Beechey , T 182 . with intent to ' murder-him . The prosecutor ' s head bore marks of violent beating , although the assault was committed more than a week ago ; and u « appeared altogether in a very weak state . He deposed that between one and two o'clock on the muming of Tuesday , the 6 th instant , while on duty at Houutlow , he found tho prisoner in the act of robbing a garden ; and on attempting to take him into cistody , the prisoner assailed him with eomo heavy instrument , which rendered him insensible . When . h « came to his recollection , he found himself upon the ground against some palings , his he&d and side
being muoh injured , and blood flawing profusely from a cut at the back of his head . Assistance shortly arrived , and he was removed to a doctor ' s ; he had kept his bed ever since , and was still under the Burgeon's care . The above evidence was corroborated by two other policemen , one of whom arrived just in time to capture the prisoner after the deadly assault had been committed , and the other found s > neckerchief and horse ' s mane-comb in the garden whence the prisoner had emerged on being apprehended in the first instance . These the prisoner acknowledged to be his , though he said nothing in his defence " , beyond the statement that he was intoxicated ; and he was committed forthwith to Newgate , on the capital charge of assaulting , with intent to kill , a peace-officer in the execution of his duty .
Anothfr " Lame Duck . "—Mr . James Clark , on ^ of the official assignees of the Bankruptcy Court , upon being called upon to go through his accounts , has " bolted . " His defalcation , however , ia very small ; not more than £ 7 , 000 . He is not at present known to have been engaged lu speculations ; an * his defalcations have arisen from taking a little and a little at . a time , 03 any temporary emergency pressed . Destitution and Death . —An inquest was yesterday held before Mr . Wakloy , at Marylebona workhouse , on the body of EHzibet-h Reed , aged * 0 , a widow , who was in expectation of coming to a great deal of property . On Tuesday ( yesterday se ' nnight ) , she , called ou a poor Irishwoman , named Martin , at 4 , Gray ' s Bmildingg , Duko-street , Manchester-square , to whom she was known , but who had not seen her for six months previously , and asked her if she would let her stretch hemlf upon her bed , as she had pains in her head and stomach .
The poor woman consented , and the deceased then added that she was half famished , that for two days she had only had one potato , and Boveral other days had gone entirely Without breaking her fast . Mrs . Martin gave her some tea , and bread and butter , and allowed her to stop with her all night . Iu ' the morning she also gave her some breakfast in bed , shortly after which the deceased s&id sne felt very bad , and , immediately clasping her hands , raised them above her head , and scieani 9 d violently . The poor woman , conceiving her to be in a fit , raised an alarm , when a surgeon was sent for , who , ou his arrival , pronounced lifo to be extinct . The body was then removed to the workhouse . Oa searching the clothes of the deceased , only two halfpence were found . While the poor woman was making the tea , the deceased exclaimed , "I have not one friend upon earth . " The jury , after some discussion , in the absence of further testimony , returned a verdict , " That the deceased died in a fit , wuich , whether produced by natural causes or . otherwise , there was not eufficient evidence to prove . "
On Fkiday afternoon last , four children were sent out for a walk , when , Hading tho doors of Shoreditch c ' uurcli open , they walked in , su : d witnessed the ceremony of baptism , after which they sat themselves quietly in a pew , thinking to hear tke afternoon service , when they wcro surprised atthe 6 hujtiiig pf the doors , for which they immediately made , but- too late to make themselves hoard . Finding themselves thus secured , they betook themselves to the vestry room , where they found a fire , and inspected the elergyman'a wardrobe . They lulled the two youngest to sleep , giving them some stick liquorice and some holy water , which they found in tho sacred vessel that had recently been used . Thus they passed the whole of their timo , aot any way uncomfortable by their night ' s adventure ,, until they were liberated , about nine o ' clock tha fallowing morning , when they were immediately accompanied home to their anxious and inquiring , parents .
