THE GOOD OLD CAUSE . AS ELECTION BA . XI . iD . Hurrah , hun * h , for the good old cause ! Tis a stirring sound to hear ; For it tells of the rights aad franchises WMsh our father * bosght « o dear : It brings us baci to the ancient times , When , lEke valiant men , they sto « d , Jo sprinkle oar infant liberties With the baptism of blood ; "VVbiUt mailed baron and mitred priest Came riding o ' er the lea , 1 o wring from the tyrant ' s palsied land T'io nhute * at the free !
The food eld cause . ' it la ettD the same , Though parties have changed their hue ; * Iis ths cause of the right against the ¦ wrong Ot the many against the few ; ^\ s the causa of all that would dwell at peace On a free , untainted sod ; Of the poor , that weep in their foodless homes—Of the people and their God . ' "We haTe still the braTe old work to do , Acd the selfish hate to dread Of slaves that cnce would hare forged us ctiins , Acd now would deny us bread : The coward slave ( if such there be )
Tsst would sell his birthright now , For a flowing cup , or the chink of gold , Or the smile on a lordling ' s brow , JIsj" his neighbours shrink from bis proffer * d hand , As though it were soiled for aye , > . nd may eTery -woman turn oer cheek From bis perjured lips a-vray ; Jlay his country ' s earse be on his head , And may no man ever see A gentle bride at the traitor ' s side , Or children about his knee !
And Eose will menaee , and some Trill cajole , And some ¦ will entreat with tears ; TVe have scorn for threats , and laughter for lies , And pity for idle fears : fVe look on onr rote as a solemn trust , For a mighty purpose given , And will answer the use we make of it To none but ourselves and heaven : W e have no less Jtaie than the proudest peer In our country aDd its laws , And a single voice may incline the scale To the side of the zood old cause!—Tabkl ,

MELBOURNE , RUSSELL , A * D CO . 'S 1 XS 0 LYESCY . Ths extensive establirlnneci of this firm for tho manufacture and sale of patent medicme 3 , vulgarly called qusck medicine ? , is well known . It is cot less notorious that the afLiirs of ihe house have long been in an embarrassed state , and rumour , with her thoa-sjid tongues , ias even ventured to assert that & treak-up of the concern is inevitable . It has , indeed , been matter of surprise to many that the
firm has been able to keep up appearance so long . and it was confidently believed ih « a Sat of bankruptcy -would have been issued during the last week . For obvious reasons , we forbear from offering any opinion as to the accuracy cf these reports ; but we are enabled , by the favour of a correspondent , to lay before oar readers the particulars of a discussion which took pkee at a general meeting of the proprietors , held at their oEces in Downing-street , on Thursday week .
The business of the day w * s connnericed by the iead of ihs &T 7 a , Mr . MeloQUTue , who briefly stated ihat the meeting had been convened for the purpose of lav ing before ; te proprietors a statement of the aS&irs of the house , which , he regretted to say , were in a truly deplorable condition . It would be for the consideration of tie partners , whether it would be Bore expedient to continue the business of tha house for another season , or to bring i ; to a clo ? e at once , ij a declaration of insolvency . " It is clear aa the tan a : noon-day , " said the unfortunate gentleman , * ihii 10 this completion we must come ai last , and not even Rotrland ( rliil )' 3 Kzhdor can protect us from it much longer . "
Of thai justly popular cosmetic he coald not , however , speak too highly , as it had saved the concern from sinking long a ^ o . It had taktn with the publi c immensely , —the sale had i > een prodigious ;—and it had obtai ' oed for the concern the warm support of that amiable portion of the community of which he - ( the respectable gentleman himself ) had ever been & mo ?; devoted admirer , —he need hardly gay that he meant the ladies . Moreover , since the introduction of the new envelope , embellished with an elegant medallion h . as . d Of her most Gracious Majesty ( Hea-Ten save ihe mark )) the sale of lie article , Rowland ( Hili )' s KalydoT , had vary much increased . Of the sticfcng-plaisier , sometimes called court-plaiEter ,
he could nor speak bo favourably ; the sale wag large encash , but it was not so much ia favour with the Eubiie , at least , that portion of the public with whom e happened to be acquainted . It has , however , giTen " very extensive popularity to the house , and had even b ^ eu . the in tans of giving a very appropriate soviritpjrt to the Srm , which was now very generally denominated the slicking p'aiat-r concern . ^ Kerenheiess , " continued the wor ; hy gentleman , *' n will hardly be requisite for me to inform my partners that thi 3 speculation has earned oat a bad one . . Notwithstanding the compliments that have been pa ,: d to U 3 respecting this article , I regret to state , ii : at ihe payments in cash haTe not been so &hnzi ^ asit : and . " smooth , words batter no mrabtmcini ; andas " ctnoota words batier no
pu-, snips , ' w © are daily losing enormous sums of money by ihe undertaking . Mr . Palmerston next addressed the meeting . He fully concurred in all tha had fallen from the last speaker , and was even prepared to go farther . He did not think that it was merely a question of whether this or that patent medicine were best adapted to the national constitution . He sadly feared that all such specifics had had their day , and that Mr . Bull and his numerous family were now sick of quack medicines altogether , and were determined to have recourse to the regular prae : itioner 3 again . He was induied to fcrm this opinion chiefly from the failure of many notable articles which he had himself introduced to the notice of the public . He alluded to his well known J ' American Soo : hine
Srrn ? , " — " The Syrian Powcers and Pills , " and , above all , the B Chinese Cement . " These had a tolerably good ran at first , and the affairs of the ionse began to look up ; but tt wsis now found out ihst none of these wonderful thinu 3 produced the efecs for which they were intended . Cavillers pretended that the " S&othing Syrup" only produced greater irritation , —that the " Svran Powders " were not efficacious , —and that the * ' Chinese Cement" wouldn ' t hold . Mr . P . finished by stating-, that he was afraid it would be entirely out of his power to introduce any other novelty , a 3 he had really exhausted his inventive faculty by previous exertion ; and , much as he should drplcre the occurrence of sneh a catastrophe , he feared that the annihilation of the concern could not much losgtr be delayed .
_ Mr . Melbourne then requested the serious attention of the members of the firm to the balance-shefci of their affairs , by which it appeared that a most alarming discrepancy existed between the accounts of their assets and liabilities . He then earnestly begged them to reflect on the consequences of a continuance of Encha state of things , s-ud stated it to be his opinion that , unless one of the runners eoald suggest the introduction of some nustram to cxtch the tnUIion , and tnrn the ebbiDg tide of popularity it would be better to give up the concerninstan ' . er .
After a short silence , Mr . Ru se ! I rose , and from the active part which that gentleman has taken in the affairs of the house , a breathless anxiety was icaniffsied to hear him address the assembly . He commenced by rebuking the previous speakers for the desponding tone of their addresses , aini declared his firm confidence in his own ability to overcome the cifacnities by which they were surrounded . 44 Granting , " said the little gentleman , " that Mr . Bull and his family may bfgin to get sick of onr nostrums , I am by no means of opinion that they may rot still be prevailed en to try others . The oiily thing essential to snccfss is unblushing effj or . itry . We ma . -: But go timidly up to the old ge ^' eracn acd enrreat him to trite us another trial ,
bn : fre aun bo-dly insist that his life is in danger , find that the failure of our previous endeavours to repair h : s shattered constitution ia to be attributed solel ? to onr -sot having ar . ac ' iita tie loundalion of the tril GsEtlemen , wlen men arsin situations of dacger the \ generally , to get out of them , take the ball by the horns , but we must go lower , —we must tike our bull by the corns . Yes , gentlemen , the means by which I propose to recover our fallen fortunes , and to restore us to Mr . Bull ' s good graces , is nothing more or less thana ' cornp ' aister . ' I know the plethoric o } d boy ^ s weak point , and shall hare no
difEeuity in persuading him that my miraculous application » iii be a panacea for all his tufferiegs . What can be more plausible ! If the foundation of an edifice be out of repair , how can the superstructure be sound To CQEckide , leave the rest to me , and be assured iha : all will yet be well . Let ntt despair get possession of your iniiids , bet put your shoulders to the Joke of business , like men , aud ' give me your cordial co-operation 10 carry ont ay project . So shall returning popularity reinstate us in prosperous trade , * Ed rtfill our exhausted coffers ; while the fame of Russell the chiropodist , extends from Indus to the £ oie . "
Mr . Russell ' s address was greeted at intervals 'With mnrmnrs of applause , and the sombre conntenances of the partners assumed more cheerful as-P ^ Ms as it proceeded * At its conclusion , a long-continued cheering an-J ^ tnced the satiifactioa it produced , and many of the iceaibers of the firm rose and shook their co-Partce * enthusiastically by the hand , declaring it to he fceir c-= ttrmination to support him and his pro-Position to the last .

The chairman of the meeting complimented Mr . Russell highly upon hia skill and perseverance , aad it was resolved that the plan proposed should be adopted , the management being entirely left to that gentleman . After Bome other formal business had been gone through , Mr . Melbourne , taking ont his watch , observed that he had an engagement to dine at Windsor at seven , and must consequently take his leave . This he accordingly did , and the meeting then broke up , Mr . Russell , and others of the firm , adjourning to the laboratory in Old Palace Yard , for the purpose of commencing opsrations —Morning Herald .
BRADFORD ELECTION . Want of Epa . ce last week prevented us giving a particular account of this election ; however , it is not too late to make up for the omission . Our readers will recollect that the Chartist election committee first invited Captain Wood as their candidate , a man qualified in every respect to represent the Borough , aa admitted by all partieB , but who , by Whig intrigue , was prevented ! Mr . Simpson , of Hammersmith , was then called upon , who readily consented to put himself upon the list of candidates for the honour of representing this essentially Chartist borough , whose excellent address appeared in our papei , but who , under like influence , was , much to the dissappointment of his . numerous supporters and friends , lEduced to withdraw .
At a large out-door meeting , held last Wednesday evening , which ivas ably addressed by Air . Martin , the Chartist electors , on the proposition of Mr . Clarkson , took the opinion of the non-electors as to the course to be pursued in the event of xbe Chartist candidate giving ¦ way , ( it having been ascer : 3 ined tha ? Mr . Simpsou ' s appearance was doubtful . ) when the following moluLions were unanimouily put and carried : — " That it is the opinion of tkis meeting that under present circumstances it is not advisable tor the Chartist electors to remain neuter f and '' That they be recommended to vote for a Tory in preference to the Whigs . " On the following evening ( Thursday ) , at the close of Mr . Buckingham ' s second lecture ou free trade , an amendment was proposed and seconded , during which the lecturer , Chairman , and his partisans retired amid
confusion—M That commercial reforms would not confer a lasting benefit upon the people without being secured by Parliamentary reforms , based upon the principles of the Charter . " In the meantime , Mr . Simpson having tenderedhis resignation , a meeting , convened by placard , ivas held on ilocday evening week , ia the most public place in lhe borough , between the hustings of ihe Whig and Tory candidate * , vrhen Mr . Clarkecn went into an explanation of ail the circamstances connected with Captain Wood and Mr . Simpson . He stated that , in consequence of tha peculiar situation in which £ he Chartist Committee were placed , in rej ; ard cot only t . > the withdrawal of their former
caijdi-Hate , but to the defection , no doubt induced by undue iuifoente , o ? Mi . Simpson , an explanation -wa 5 cue , particularly to those electors who h 3 d pledged and others who " bad promised him their support , as well as to the non-electors and inhabitants of the borough generally , therefore that opportunity had been chosen as the best means of giving the untoward affair publicity . Mr . Clark ^ u then read a letter received from and couc ' udmg the correspondence with the Captain , and detailed the circumstances coaDected therewith , by which it appeared that positive proof exisied that before the Chartist Coznmit-Tee had relinquished their claim upon him , the Whig Committee had basely intrigued to frustrate
their cau . One individual , who volunteered ( we cannot learn that he held any official situation ) to distinguish hitn ? elf above the rest in the disgraceful affair , by lending himseif as " the organ of the Whig Committee , " wliea charged with the intrigue by one of their o "> vn party , in his endeavour to remove the foul charge from his own shoulders actually affixed it irrevocably upon the Whig Committee , who , or whose adherents , assembled within hearing at the very time publicity was giveD , determined to maintain thsirWhiggish consistency , sullenly preserved a most profound silence , and never once ventured either to refute , or even to explain away , the lasting di-grace into which the Whigs of Bradford , by their of of
own acts , or the ^ discretion cue their own party , are irretrievably plunged . The individual above alluded to , Judas-like , pretending great sympathy for the Chartists and admiration of Mr . Simpson ' s principles , subsequently attempted a feeble vindication of his own treacherous conduct which , poor simpleton , oiily the more confirms the guilt of his party . Mr . Ciarkson then proceeded to detail Mr . Siinpsons ' s introduction through Mr . Edmund Stallwood , an acknowledged leading Chartist ia the neighbourhood of London , and showed , from Mr . Simpson ' s correspondence with the Committee , his readiness to follow up the publication of his addres 3 by an early persona ! canvass ; when , much to their astonishment , on his being apprised of the intention to give him a public reception , he unexpectedly declined the honour . In this dilemma ,
Mr . Martin , personally known to Mr . Stallwood , and perfectly acquainted with the Chartists' proceedings , wa 3 immediately dispatched , as the mosr likely person , to Mr . Simpson , to confer with him on the propriety of a public entry , and furnish him with every information relative to the political position of the respective Darties . He wvuld leave the narration of that interview for Mr . Martin , who had retarned and was then present , and go at once to the unfortunate result . Mr . C . then announced Mr . Simpson ' s formal resignation , and read his friend Saliwood ' s address , and which we ar » glad to saywhilst it completely exonerates the Chartist Committee from all blame , and justifies their subsequent determination—clearly traces the cause to the improper iDierfererjce of the Whig , Whig-Radical , and MaUhusian mischief-makers .
" The Late Eitcnos . —In reference to the defaultuTe of Mr . Simpson , the Radical candidate for Bradford , whom the Whigs succeeded in choking off , Mr . Stallwood , by whom he was introduced to them , ha 3 issued the following address to the electors , non-e ! ectorp , and inhabitants of the borough of Bradford and its vicinity : —" Thesearethetimes that try men ' s souls . " From an address that appeared under my signature , in the people's own journal , the Northern Star , to the Chartiais of the United Quemdom , atd to which Bradford , as well as most of the populous boroui .-iis responded , Bradford vras pleased to accept William Simpson , Esq ., of jBr&dmore House , Hammersmith , as candidate . Implicit confidence having been placed in me , and
the extraordinary termination of the affair having prevented me introducing to you your accepted candidate , I feel that an explanation is demanded at my hands , and which I feel bound to give . Mr . Simpson is my personal friend , and has , 'ere now , done me many favours , for which , I trust , I ever shall feel gratdnl ; but in times like the present , private friendship must give way to the public good . First , then , let me tell you , you do not owe your disappointment to any intrigue or dishonesty ot your committee and friends at Bradford , nor , may I be permitted to add , me or my friends ; on the con-« ary , your committee and friends , at Bradford , deserve jour warmest commendations , having conducted this important affair in a talented , patriotic ,
and praiseworthy manner ; the whole of the correspondence redounding to their honour , they having engaged to contest tha election with care and economy . Mr . Simpson was not frightened at the enormity of expence , but unfortunately my honest friend Simpson , ( for honest he undoubtedly is , ) is surrounded by Whig , Whig-Radical , and Malthusian politicians , some of those are hi 3 intimate acquaintances . These crotchet-mongers , the wellknown and worst enemies we have , with the continuous , cry of " Reform" on their lips , and despotism va their bosom 3 , have incessantly earvrigged Mr . Simpson ever since they learned he was a candidate for your suffrages , on our glorious principles . I need sot tell you how well they have
succeeded . We arc still further in the Wliig debt ; let it bo recorded in your note-books , in order that it may be paid with interest . But , my friends , if we have cause for regret we have also cause to rejoice ; the present contest has called out ma » y unknown advocates of the Charter . Proceed in your glorious career , and at another election we shall not warit for legally qualified candidates . L * t our associations raise an Election Fund—forthVfith elect a treasurer*— ( and fortunately we possess a man well qualified for that office , to whose fingers not a particle of the money will stick)—form permanent committees , and then , possessing the means and
taking the business of the election into our own bands , " we shall not again be disappointed : acting thus independently ourselves , we shall obtain independent representatives , and with only six Buch men in St . Stephen ' s , that is to say , six elected by ourselves , from ourselves , we might bid defiance to the efforts of the common enemy . Then hurrah for an Election Fund ! Hurrah ! for Bradford and real independence J For Bradford and onr Charter , hurrah ! Thanking yon for the confidence you have placed in me , and vruBung I may ever prove worthy of the Eame , I beg leive to subscribe myself the people ' s devoted servant and friend , Edmcnd Stall-wood . "
Mi . Martin then came forward . He addressed the meeting as Chartiat electors and non-electors of the Boroogh of Bradford . He could not find within the compass of the English language , words to enable him to express Mmself for their kindnew , ii selecting him to represent them in Parliament . As it was usual for candidates to issue an address containing a statement of those principles which they were prepared to support , and aa he ( Mr . M . ) had not bad time to write one , he would proceed to state , in the presence of that vast assembly , the course which hb intended to pursue ( tear , bear , and cheers , ;— " to secure to the greatest number ' of human beings the greatest amount of happi ness , " was ia tis ( Mr . il . ' s , ' opinion , the first and most important step that ought to be taken by Govtia-

ment , and as the New Poor Law had a contrary effect , it having been enacted to enable the rich to oppress the poor ; be pledged himself , if returned to Parliament , to bring in a bill U repeal that odious measure , and to restore the abbey lands , and the other property of . the poor , of which they had been robbed by the Whigs at the time of the Protestant Reformation . ( Hear , and cheers . ) He would likewise have all the waste lands , which are public property , farm « d by the Government , for-the good of the whole people , instead of allowing them to be inclosed for the benefit of a predacious aristocracy . ( Hear , hear , hear , and loud cheers . ) The banking system , which placed in the hands of a few individuals , the entire produce of the country , to the great iDJury of the labouring classes , he would do
away with altogether , and would establish a na-tional bank for the benefit of the producer . ( Hear and cheers . ) As to the absorbing topics of religion , he" would make every man pay towards the support of his own church , for it was unjust to tax a man for the payment ol a priest ia whose doctrines he did not believe . ( Cheers . ) Mr . M . next proceeded to explain the Charter » nd advised ali those who had not yet joined the National Association , to do so without delay , for said he , " he who would be free himself must strike the blow . "—( Immense cheering . ) Jlr . M . having been appointed to wait upon Mr . Simpson , of Bradrnore House , then stated to the meeting the result of his interview . In justice to that gentleman , he must admit that he was a person ffell qualified to represent Bradford in
Parliament , but though Mr . S . was au uncompromising Chartist , he ( Mr . M . ) was sorry to say that he had listened to the tales of an old intriguer , whom he I Mr . M . 1 , from what he had heard , hail every reason to be lieve that he had been employed , at the suggestion of the " organ of the Whig Committee , " by the Reform Clab cf Pan Mall . ( Hear , hear . ) The intriguer was an old M&Uhnsian of the name of Lamater , living nt Goose Qreen , in Hammersmith ( laughter ) ; fie was the person who caused the dnel to take placo between Sir Francis Burdcttand a patriotic gentleman of the name of Paull . ( Hear . ) He ) M > . M . I would refer them to the 226 ih p ^ ge in tho Memoirs of iir . Hunt , where
they would have an opportunity of making themselves acquainted with the whole affair , and find that it was a trick of the aristocracy to ruin Mt . Paull , who -was exerting himself to bring before the public the Marquis of Wellesley ' s conduct in India by impeachment ; and had it not been for this Mr . L&mater , who , it is evident , has always been a tool of the aristocracy , Mr . Simpson would have been in Bradford . He ( Mr . M . ) would now ask them , after what they had heard from Mr . Clarkson relative to CapL Wood , and from what he ( Mr . M . I had just stated , even if it were not expedient to turn the Whigs out of office , would thty not be justified in joining the Tories to upset the sham Radicals . 1 Yes , and cheers . )
Mr . Martin was put in nomination on Wednesday , as siated in our last , and t > . o returning officer declared that Mr . Haidy and Mr . Martin were duly elected ; we havenottheleast liesitationicstatingthat Mr . M . had the preponderance in the shew of hands , for many conscientious men amongst the orange party held up their hauds for him in addition to ail the blue and green who showed for Mr . Hardy . Mr . Martin , the successful candidate , returned thanks for his election , and afterwards addressed the cou ^ regated masses from Mr . Ibbutsou ' s hustings , at the c ^ ofe of which he was chaired with due honours , amid loud acclamations and every possible respect , followed by a numerous train of devoted admirers of the cause which he so nobly advocated .
In accordance with the unequivocally expressed opinions of the non electors , the Chartist voters almost to a man , with the exception of the neutrals , plumped for Hardy , in order to express their utttr detestation of Whig domination and to convince both fictions , at least in Bradford , that they are by eketoral and popular influence under Chartist controul . This was plainly acknowledged by both membors on the declaration . Mr . Hardy returning thanks , not only to his immediate friends but to many electors of whom he had not afked a single vote ; and Mr . Lister tauuting his colleague with being returned at a former election under the wing of his father , and at the present gaining his election by the voluntary aid of tho green banner .
We are not sorry that Mr . Lister , jun ., is substituted for Mr . Busficld , although the latter gentleman voted for * he liberation of the " victims ; " yet he was a llussellite do-nothing-finality-man . Mr . Lister promises better , and as there is youth on his side , we trust that he will ace into '' free trade'' fallacies , and become a really useful member , and that Mr . Hardy will not rely upon '" speciou 3 pretences " to represent the wauta and wishes of hi 3 purely democratic constituency ; both these gentlemen may rely upon being reminded of any political delinquencies they may commit . The position of our Chartist friends at Bradford assumed , not only a question of local streDgfb , but being one oi' the earliest elections , the triumph gained here by the exclusion of a mere Whig through Chartist strength , has become a national object , by setting a noble example of independence of silly adhesion to petty faction by at once shaking off the trammellsof Whig delusion .
Tne brave men and women of Bradford , ( for the fair sex contributed not a little to the glorious triumph , ) are perfectly justifiable iu exercising their legitimate influence and adopting this bold , determined , and decisive course , and by a fair trial of strength , at once convincing both factions , tha * they do indeed and in truth hold tho '" balance of power .

Manitacttmng Ay Aristocrat . A James M'Nally , uf >* o . 13 , Wink ' s-buildings , Chelsea , was charged , at a London Police Office , a few days ago , with obtaining £ 2 . 10 s . under false pretences . Mr . Taylor , the inspector , made the following extraordinary statement : —He received some private information at the station , that a man named M'JNaily was about to sell his child , just born , to some ladies for £ 3 , and that tho money would be given and infant taken away at two in the morning . He accordingly went to tho place where M'Nally lived , and concealed himself near the house , bo as to have an opportunity of observing any person who passed in or out , and remained there above aa hour without ascertaining anything more than that the party were carousing , and that the woman who had been recently confinsd was lying in oao comer oi' the room . Tninking that he mixjit have been misinformed as to the exact time at which the
bargain was to be concluded , he knocked at tho door , and called M'Nally out , and put certain questions , which drew from him tbe admission that , about three weeks since , a young lady and an elderly lady called at his house , and rcade proposals to purchase the child with which his wife was then about to go to bed . She consented , and the price agreed upon for the infant was £ 3 . The young lady , who was dressed stoutly , and who vras made to appear in the last srpge of pregnancy , declared it would be necessary she should have the child the very day it was born , and although they ( M'Nally and his wife ) would never see it again they might feel confident it vronld be handsomely provided for , as , if it were a boy , it would from the moment of its birth be
entitled to tbe sum of £ 300 per year , and it a girl , £ 200 . The ladies called two or three times , and fcxpressed much anxiety as the time approached for the child to be born , the elderly lady recommending strong exercise to accelerate the birth . On a further question or two being put by the inspector , M'TNaily said the time at which he was to receive the bundle and give up the child'was three that morning , when he was to meet the ladies ia Sloane-street . Mr . Taylor immediately ordered a con&table in plain clothe 3 to watch the parties , which he accordingly did , and about a quarter to three M'Nally left his house with a bundle and proceeded to Sloane-street , where he was met by two ladies , who , after two or three moments of hurried
conversation , gave him £ 2 10 s . M'Nally then refused to give up the child , and the ladies called a policeman , and gave him into custody for obtaining the £ 2 103 . under false pretences , and he was brought to tho station . The lady who charged the prisoner was Mrs . Ellen Andrews , of 38 , Commercial-road , and that of tbe lady with her Sarah Smith . Circumstances which had since transpired induced him to be ' iieve that the names and residences were both false . The object of the prisoner appeared to have been to get the money . He had altered his mind about parting with the child . Mr . Burrell declared
that in the whole course of his experience he had never met wi ' -h a case like this . The peculiarity of the circumstances left him fair ground to suspect that this child was to bo palmed upon some person as Euppositious issue of one of the ladies . There was no charge against the prisoner , but he would have him be for the future most careful how he lent himself to assist in frauds of this description . Persons of wealth did , occasionally , adopt children of poorer persons , but it was never done in this way , and tbe feeling in his mind , from the account given , was , that some very scandalous tvick kad beeu contemplated . The prisoner was theu liberated .

Lamentable Scps . —Mr . F . Ratchford , an instructor ot the blind , residing in Britannia-street , City-road , gave information at the Station-house , -freatherstoue-street , London , that a poor blind swi , named Elizabeth Clumber , had died suddenly at her father ' s hou 3 e , under circumstances that called for immediate 1 investigation . He stated that the address of her father was No . 7 Type-court , Fmsbury , whither the inspector instantly proceeded , and on obtaining admittance he found the body of the unfortunate girl stretched on the bare floor , ma state of decomposition . Her parents were lying on each side of her ; and in another part of the room three squalid children were huddled together with scarcely a rag to cover them . A
sickenmg effluvia pervaded the place , and not a morsel of food or a vestige of furniture was to be found in tho apartment . Upon being aaked the cause of tho girl ' s death , and the wretched condition to which the family were reduced , the father informed the inspector that he had obtained a scanty tubsiatancefor his family by labouring at the docks , but for some time past he had been unable to prooure work , and they were all starving , His deceased daughter expired suddenly on Saturday last , and to increase the horrors of his situation , his unfortunate wife was suffering uuder aberration of mind . He could not account for tho suddenness of his daughter ' s death , as she appeared as well as her miserable situation
wonld admit ot on the day preceding it . Mr . Leeson , the divisional surgeon of police , was sent by inspector Shackell , and upon examination he discovered some H-acea ofcongested blood , which had apparently flowed from her mouth and nose , but the body presented no other appearances to justify a suspicion that any violence had been offered to the deceased . Mr . B uk hara inquired of tho inspector Whether any application for relief had been made to the parish authorities by the unfortunate family prior to the girl ' s deceusb . Inspector Shackell said , that from all he could iearn they had never made known their wants to any one . The magistrates desired the Inspector to see Hamlin , and requested him to pay immediate attention to the case .
Never Satisfied . —Last week , as a gentleman in the neighbourhood of Brarapton was examining an old desk which has stood in an out-building for a long time , he found a small bag , which he thought was a shot-bag ; but on taking it up , the bottom came out , and to his great surprise but rolled five hundred spade-ace guineas . After counting them , and seeing that they were all good , he said he was sorry ho had not found them twenty years sooner , that be might have had the interest on them also during that period .

MR . O'CONNOR AND THE LONDON COMMITTEE MEN . The following is the correspondence on the subject of London Committees , alluded to in the recent correspondence between Mr . O ' Connor and Mr . Hethehington ; and which wa have received from Mr . HsTHEHi . NGTOiV ' s shopman : — " London , 14 , Wine-office Court , "Fleet-street , Juue 22 J , 1841 . "Sin , —Enclosedlsendthe correspondence mentioned in Mr . O'Cuuuot ' s Uwt tettei to Ms . Hettwivngton . \ can ussure yon that they are truly copied , and I bopo t hey will be inatited in tho next Star . " I am , yours truly , Titos . Power . "L adon , October 13 , 1840 .
" Sru , —In your letter to Mrs . Frost , published in last week ' s Star , there is this statement advanced by you : — " That no subscription will be allowed to progress upon a large scale in England unless 9 k London Committeu is allowed a per centago profit « poa tito rtCtJiptS . in tliy account yon will find neither postage or deductions . Have you ever seen tho account of London committee 1 If not , pray get one , and see tie difference . " "In another pan of the same paper there ia a reported conversation between you and your publisher , in which
you are represented to have said , " But fciuely , Hobson , you can understand tho disappointment and mortification of the London traders at being baulked of their commission on so large a charitable a fund aa a £ 1 , 01 ) 0 —well enough to see the spleen of the jobber through the nffected sympathy of the patriot . Those very fellows would kill Mrs . Fro&t if they could make anything of the hide aad fat , and would then debit her executors with the ejepences , which would be sure to exceed tbe receipts . "
" Now , Sir , we deem this demands our immediate notice . We have taken part in almost ah the committees appointed for the collection of money for several years past , iu London , and are utterly ignorant of any such base , dishonourable , and degrading practice having taken place . We therefore request that you will , at once , name tbe persons and the subscriptions from which any such per centage was deducted . " If thera be guilt anywhere of this kind , let the persons be pointed out at once , that the public may not confound the uptight with the guilty , -which , from your general charge , they may do at present . " By an early compliance , you will oblige the uuder-Bigned , , "James Watson . "RicHAiiD Moore . " Henry AJiichell .
" To Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., ' York Castle . " York Castle , Oct . 18 , 184 » . « Gentlemen , —I should Lave replied more promptly to your letter but for the absence of the Governor , who has been since Wednesday last at Wakefield with debtors . His absence did not stop my correspondence , but I have an objection to any other officer reading my letters , and , therefore , write as few as possible during his absence . " I do not exactly comprehend the meaning ot your appeal ta me . My notice refers to Committees , yours to individuals , not one of whom was mentioned or hinted at by me , and two of whom , Mitchell and Dyson , I never before heard of . Should you desire any further
information upon the subject of London Committees generally , I beg to refer you to Mr . Hetberington as my authority , for much of what I stated , and to prevent any misunderstanding , I beg to remind him that , upon my return from Monraoutb , I went one evening to his shop , and found him in conversation with a person whom I supposed to b « a news-vender . Upon the person retiring I observed , " Well , Hetherington , great London now conies out but poorly in the Frost Defence Fund—only £ 100 . " . Uy Ood" said Hetherington , " you should wonder that ic is so much I" That was just what we were talking about They can't get Mr . , to settle his accounts as to the National Kent Fund , the Agitating Fund and many others in one . He is now £ 40 wrong , and we shall have a precious blow up yet about the D ^ r ^ hester Labourers . "
" If Mr . Hetherington has any fancy for a libel he may mention tbe individual , or if be procures an undertaking that the person will not prosecute me , he shall have his name . " Gentlemen , I am quite sure that yon will have no difficulty in convincing the country that your motives aud actions as committee men have been pure , but it is rather too much to ask rae to subject myself to an action for libel for your gratification . " I find in the Star of the 9 th July , an account of tho Agitating Committee which runs thus : — " Erpences of getting up meetings £ 32 ; received at ditto , £ 20 9 s . ;
balance to be paid by tke Convention . " Gentlemen be satisfied with your own good characters , but take eare iu answering for all London that you do not find yourselves the worse for your too active philanthrophy . I assure you , I did not even hint at any person wfiose name appears in your letter , nor did I hint at any individual iu particular . " I am , " Your obedient servant , " Feargus O'Connor . "To Mr . John Cleave , 1 , Shoe-lane , Fleet-street , "London .
" London , 126 , Strand , Oct . 23 , 1840 . " Sir , —Your letter of the 18 th instant , in answer to one addressed to you on the joint names of several men of London , whs have for years taken an active part ia all public movement * in furtherance of the peopitfs causa , has just been handed to me ; in which I find * to my great astonishment , you refer the gentlemen , demanding an explanation of your false imputation ¦ upon London committees to me , " as your authority tor umhA of what you have stated . " I fell Indignant , at tbe gross imputation you hav * indiscriminately ca at upon the active committeemen of London , and I tdeny most
uneqmvocably that you ever had a tittle of authority , directly or indirectly , from me for yo » t unjust aspersions of the character of the men of Lou don . I consider that you have treated me in this ins' cance , with great injustice , and I , therefore , in my own justification , call for an explicit statement from you , of any one Londoa committee that ever obtaiu aa one farthing per centage profit upon any subscrif , tion they were concerned with . You never had a shadow of authority from me for any such statemen' ; . within my knowledge or belief there is not a' . iq instance of such a thing .

"With singular inconsistency yon tell thoro w 1 ; called upon ycu to explain yourself that " you did noi exactly comprehend the meaning of their appeal to you , your notice referring to Committees not to individual *" You then attempt to justify yourself by referring to a conversation in wy shop about the conduct of an individual , Mr . Hart well ' s alleged defalcation -witn the Porchester Committee . That gentleman has , I believe , since given , proof of his integrity , by discharging in full all claims mode upon him . " When I expressed my regret to you that he should have placed himself in a false position with the IK > rchester Committee , considering the prominent part he had acted , I little expected that you would have been guilty of so gross & perversion of the truth as from that circumstance , one individual ' s alleged misconduct , to fix a charge of peculation upon London Commi'tces generally , for it would , in my opinion , be little less than robbery for any committee to take a free per centage upon public subscriptions .
"I deny , therefore , most emphatically , that you ever had grounds for making this sweeping charge against the men of London from any conversation with me , or from any hint or expression on my part in any of our numerous conversations . I call upon you not to reply by dashes —— - — , but by names , times , places , and specific circumstances , that I may have a fair opportunity of refuting the aspersions you have attempted to cast upon myself and others , with whom I have acted , in common with the man of London generally . "I am , Sir , " Your obedient Servant , "H . Uetuerixgtox . "To Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., " Ynrb Castle .
" P . S . You state that you do not exactly comprehend the meaning of the joint appeal made tt > you by the parties signing the former letter . This is tbe meaning : —the parties signing that letter desire you should name th « committee , or of the persona who composed them , who ever received or proposed to receive a per centage profit upon any subscription they managed or were concerned with—or au explicit avowal from you that you have hastily cast imputations upon men which the facts did not warrant . " London , 126 , Strand , Nov . 12 , 1841 ,
" Sir , —A fortnight has now elapsed since I wrote to you in reference to the charge you made against the London Committees , of receiving a per centage profit upon the public subscriptions they managed or were connected with . Having quoted my nnine as your authority for the above statement , I beg to know whether you received ray letter dated Oct . 23 , and when it will be convenient to you to favour me witb an answer . ' I am . Si * , " Yuur obedient Servant , " H . Betuerixgtox . " To Feargus O'Connor . " York Castle , Nov . 17 .
"Sir , —You mastnotattributemysiiencotoany desire to treat your communication with disrespect , but the fact i 3 , that I gave the only answer which I can give , in my former letter ; and in yours , -which is very clevet , as you dislike the word " artful , " you throw upon rae the charge of having upbraided Hartwell with a defalcation in tbe Dorchester Labourers' Account , the fact being that I did not know that you hinted at him when you made the remark , in addition to the Agitating Committee and National Rent Fund . It was you who mentioned the defalcation in the two latter accounts and not me ; and it was nota private transaction bysny means . You must be aware tint in an epistoUtory squabble you would have much the advantage over me , as you can w : ite what you please , whila I am tied by rules and am not allowed to write anything rtfleeting upon any one's character , though I got many letters reflecting upon my own .
" You appear to forget that , in my letter to Leech in July last , when speaking of London committees , I said that no observation w : is to be supposed to attach to Cleave or Hetherington , and yet you take it all to yourself , as the other five appear satisfied with my explanation . If ycu require a negative or an affirmative , I give it freely , and at once say that I do net think you capable of doing an unfair act , and I am at a less to know the drift of your lulter . It appears by Mr . Hiutwell's letters , relating to Mrs . Brown of Birmingham , that he has already suffered from misrepresentation , siid those letters were published before our correspondence took place ; therefore , neithtr you nor I can be the authors of that ; I still holding opinion of London committees in general , but capable , I hope , of making a distinction between the good and the bad . Gouil God ! did I nut frequently object to the illinienso posters ( not yours ) paraded in the Convention lioom for calling meetings in mere pot houa « s , aad admired for their Size .
am , " Your obaaient Servant , " Feargus O'Connor . " To Mr . Hetherington . "December 4 th , 1840 . " Si r , —Wohave seen your letter to Mr . Hetherington . and beg to uutleceivo you as to our being satisfied with you * first letter to 119 . Such is not the fact " The matter in dispute ia this . You have charged the London Committees with taking a per centage on tlio subscriptions they have collected for public purposes . We have , individually and collectively , been connected with nearly the whole of the subscriptions carried on in London for several years past , and we deny the truth of your charge .
' We request , therefore , from you , a statement of the subscription or subscriptions , with the name or names of the persons constituting such Committee or Committees guilty of the dishonest acts you have imputed t » them . And , ia the absence of such proof on our part , we require you to give a public contradiction through the same channel ( the Northern SiarJ as conveyed the charge to the public . " Whatever opinions yon may entertain ot London Committees , as regards public proceedings , is quite another matter : in this case , you have made a direct charge against them all , and we ask for proofs ; and , in the absence of this proof , we leave the public to judge what valuo Attaches to your opinion , good or bud .

BLOOD OR SUFFRAGE . When the ministry raised the flag of revolt against everything that was constitutional , and when they made a parade of appealing to the new-made electoral body against the loss of confidence of their old Association ; when they professed a willingness to abide by the verdict which a reformed constituency should return , after a long , a patient , and an indulgent trial , and thus set an example of obedience and constitutionality to the electoral body , the organ of their war minister , alive to the danger of treasonable recommendation coming from her Majesty ' s
servants , but also alive to the necessity , placed the real motto of the party upon their banners . " Bread or blood" quoth the Globe , will be the war-cry . For a long time we did not notice the abomination , nor should ire now have defiled our peaceful columns with it , but for its realization in the Manchester butchery . We now head our article , " Blood or Suffrage ; " aud we do so for tho purpose , not of inducing those in quest of tho Suffrage to shed blood ; but to assure faction that by shedding blood 0 / 1 / ycan they much lon « or withhold the suffrage , and hold power by usurpation .
The struggle for tho mess 13 now over to all intents and purposes ; and the Tories will have some little trouble in replenishing the trough , for , in truth their restoration just now is a God-send ; and their opponents boast may bo , " As we've eat up the mess and left the trough bare , Tbe Tories may come the day after the fair . " This would be a consolation , if stratagem had not been exhausted , and if one tuck in tho royal garment capable of being lot out for Whig shelter yet remained ; but having exhausted invention , and torn expediency to tatters ; hawng paraded royal ^ till the mummery has lost its aevelty , and the queea much of her dignity , we are at a loss to discover what the next rallying cry of reform is to bo .
Already ha 3 the Chronicle given , tongue upon the hit that" Reform" has failed of producing the " promised results" ; we wish our friend had used the more significant term , anticipated results , and then we could have fully comprehended his meaning . It has failed to produce every one of the " promised results ; " but for nino years it has produced , tor the Whig party , all the anticipated , all tho desired ,
all tho w ished for , all the intended , results—plaoe , pension , office , and emolument have followed in its train . While it was thua working well , we heard of nothing but the lasting and mighty benefits that it had conferred upon her Majesty's loving subjects , both abroad and at home ; it was then a" final ' measure ;" but , alas ! no sooner has ihe very machinery which it created made one single counter revolution , than we are told that tho whole is delusion ; that it never was

3 perfect pieco of workmanship ; it has disappointed :, in a moment , all tha wishc ? , hopes , desires , and anticipations of those who , for nine years , worshipped it as England's idol , and as a perfect piece of political mechanism . Well , but after all , the question , —the only question , —for solution now is , Is it a final measure I and will the Noble Member for London now declare that " it is not a final measure ; " and that when he said U was a final measure , ke moTely meant that it had insured Whig ascendancy f This will be Lord Russell's pill , which , no doubt , Lord Russell will swallow ; but he must prepare to have it presented to him iu all sizes , shapes , and forms .
Canhenowpropose a measure which isto be" final * —that 13 , one which will renew tennre for nine years , for the benefit of his Lordship , and his Lordship ' s associates ? Or can he oven hit upon any device by which he can confer a tenancy from year to year upon his " hand-to-mouth" party ? No , he cannot . What , then , must he do ! He must proclaim the Reform Bill , in its real meaning and
essence , toboa" final measure ; and we will back , and the country will back him . He mu 3 t pick the pin from the bundle of straw . He must clear the chaff from the com . He must clear the site of the rubbish , and build his house upon a firm foundation . He must select for practico all that wa 3 valuable in the " whole Bill . " He must give to the people that for which , and for which alone the people struggled , the one jewel of Reform—hb
MUST MAKE TAXATION AND REPRESENTATION CO-EXsive . He must do that , or be prepared to uphold a military despotism aa long as a brave , starving , industrious , peace-loving , and united people will allow him . Thus , he must bo prepared to withhold Reform by Blood , or to give all that the Bill promised ; for Reform meant , and Reform promised , Universal Suffrage , Payment of Members , and N » Property Qualification . It promised it ; inasmuch as if A . leases to B . a portion , of ground , in tho centre of his park , without any expressed
condition of right of approach ; and though the avenue to B . ' s house should be tea miles long , and although it might bo injurious , yet does the contract imply , and the law will award , a right of approach , and justly ; upon the principle that when you grant the right to anything you also grant the means of its full enjoyment . So with tho Reform Bill , In the equitable terms that taxation and representation shall be co-cxteneive , we recognize the legal * claim to its full enjoyment ; and we deny the right of the lessor to impede , molest , or
disturb the lessee in his possession , by enacting a £ 600 a year toll-bar , and a £ 300 a year toll-bar , the tax-payer 3 thereby destroying right of passage to hia castle . We also deny his right to interfere with tho fullest enjoyment of that right by making the poverty of one , by the constituents thought worthy of the trust , incapable of discharging the duties of office , for a want of the means of support . In fact , any Sdffrage , or right , even the mo 3 t extensive , may be frittered away by thus imposiDg barriers to its free enjoyment .
Suppose that the people had joined in the insane and clap-trap cry for Household Suffrage , might not the practical moulders of that measure have given to it , as thoy have given to the Reform Bill , the detailsiarapof "Whigfinality ; " and after experimentalising for nine years , might its supporters noi then discover that that also was not a fiual measure ^ when superior- Tory tactics , wealth , organisation , and watching , added to public disappointment , had made a second transfer from Whig to Tory hands ; and may not society be thus kept in a constant alarm by a perpetual fishing for the minnows of Whigfinality ?
Have we not stunned the Whigs with the assurance that any money standard of franchise , however nicely it may suit ihem in the outset , will , by degrees , lapae" into Tory possession , and be used for Tory preferment I Have they not had full and ample proof of the fact , in the re-action which has taken placo in the constituencies of their own creation since 1837 , ( four years ); and , during that time * have they not had all the odds of possession , royal
favour , secret service money , and all the means of suppressing the very power which gave them birth , and which they have most brutallyj unscrupulously , and unmercifully applied ? and have they not had an unopposed reign , a clear stage and no favour , except to damn them ! and , having failed with such odds , what now is their chance against the representatives of that body to whose decision they so confidently appealed onbehalf of our beautiful young Queen ?
Will it do now to Bay , " We will not abide by th © decision ! " How C 3 n they back their objection ! Can they say , " The country is with us , and a large minority and the country , that is , the people , ( not the ten pound houses , ) should have more weight than a majority" ! Such may be sound doctrine ; but when one honourable gentlemen counts for more than two millions of the said people , what then ! Why , then it will require ten millions to balance even a minority of five ! Alas ! theaa are " awkward precedents established in the dying movements of the Whigs .
Well , bat the Qaeen may again use her constitutional prerogative , and appeal to another and a better people ; but here again we find a stumblingblock . Who i 8 to interfere with the royal prerogative 1 To recommend this course is unconstitutional . The Tories in oflice won't do it . The Whigs out of office can't do it ; and the people cannot be admitted to the presence of Majesty ; therefore , for all these reasons , is Majesty , for a time , placed upon the shelf by Whig precedent . But who knows may-hap » as " a cat may look at a king , " the Whigs in distress may now invite her Majesty ' s dirty subject * to present their own petitions , asking for an extension of hot Majesty ' s gracious mercy on behalf of
her unemployed ministers . Ah ! it is a foolish thing for man to fall out with his bread and butter and , in truth , our old and violent opponents have furnished so many unfortunate precedents against free action , interference with royal prerogative , right of discussion and publication , that it will require no small tact , and not a little drilling and training to bring the awkward squad up even as s decent reserve ; for beyond the shafts in the "Reform " waggon they , need never again aspire . We have tried them as leaders , and they kicked over the traces ; so henceforth w-e must put them at the wheel and run them in kicking straps , keep ' iBg them well in band and up to the collar .
The " finality" of Lord John RussJaL may ha thus interpreted :. where opposition to Whig power- commences there ¦ *• finality" perishes . The Bill . is "final" only so long as it confers and perpetuates . that power upon Lord John and hia wild associate 8 , jper fas aut nefaa . The name of Whig has now perished ; and let Mr . Macauley be assured that however tight and sea worthy his bark , and however compact , united and trained his crew , which , as he says , are now likely to occupy the left of the speaker ' s chair for the next six or seven years , yet will they not receive one single cheer from outBide to aid them in their " practical" and place-hunting endeavours to repossess themselves of the me 3 s ; and however philanthropic
enduring , » nd patient the Indian exotic thought it necessary to appear before the Northern stoics , we further assure him that seven moons , much lees seven harvests , will not have passed away before the enduring constitutionalists will make a most rabid organic charge upon the mess-pot . The Whigs will now find the necessity of undoing mnch that they have done , with the manifest intention of strengthening prerogative in the hope that they ujay slide unperccived into legitimacy . The constitutional mode of ouster and ocenpancy would be too tedious aad tardy ; and hence they must abandon tho old , slow , and tiresome process of notice of ejectment , and proceed at once " vi et armis" ( with bone and arms ) to oust tho present occupants from the sight of the Speaker ' s thair .
