be ^ ffiaaL ¦» uu » uu * country might be made to yield bread enough for ourselves 6 nd to spare for Glhers . Why then hhould the cultivators of the soil be driven like vagrants to seek food in a foreign land ? Are there not numerous extensive tracts purposely kept barren , because the sport of the rich is preferred to the'living of the poor ? And do eoj the iovU cf tie air , the beasts of the fitid , and the jbhes " * of the sea multiply in exisustless profusion ycuud ? B = s : eesf his not Grezt Britain power to compel the procure of other countries to its shores , K that tte "B"i ^ e world may be said to be our harvest field ? S-iy cot , then , that England contains too many Esriishmen .
if there be 20 natural necessity that any of the infcsbitauts of our Isle of Providence should exile themjslTes , iB it not a species of infatuated policy that creates a ^ i artificial necessity by which the most useful cf our people are expelled ? Th ' .- industrious farmer who raises food for others cannot obtain it for himself . Instead of enecung iEg his truly beneficial efforts , a parricidal goTerrmtnJ imposes burthens which oblige him to throw dewn his implements in despair , and he is forced to quit his ungrateful country in the uncertain hope of procuring ths : maintenance abroad which is denied The
tim at home . patriot separts with- feelings inveitrd , for he carries within him the indignant congriensiesB that his failure is not occasioned by his own vrant of industry , er tn . 9 want of reseurces in the couBtrv , -wbtibtr internal or external ; bet from the injustice , monopoly and oppression of its rulers . Paradoxical as it n ^ = y appear , it ia nevertheless true that cur national distress does not proceed from poverty , but from wealth—from the misappropriation of the rights of labouring men by a usurpiug aristocracy and tyrannical cat-its'lsts . Luxury disdains homely produce and seeks its snpplies from extraneous climes .
Another eause of the depression which tffl . cts the ag riculturists is the greedy Bway of the avaricious nianafactnrcrs ; aboriginal agriculture is sacriSced to indigenous trade . To appease the selfish clam urs of free traders , farmers are doomed to toil in vain ; yet thousn reduced te extremity by unmerited oppression thsy never think of turning their sicklea into swords , but quietly leave the land where neither landlord nor mill-lord allows them to live , and strive by patient labour in a fir foreign clime , to remove the privations they had becoia g subj ? et to in their owa cuSEtry . May their unrequited service in this world be recompensed in 3 better . '
England , ocse the merry mother of a happy family , hsa now become a step-dame to her lawful brood . Tte hardy sons of her soil who would identify their lives with their native land , whose feelings are as unsophisticated as the free elements that invigorate their freshened dales ; whose patriarchal pursuits nourish , in them the kindliest rature ; these true-born English yeomen are to bs Eeslected th 3 t a spurious race , sprung from foreign Kttlers may be favoured—beings who , spider-like , w * ald spin their oini bowels for profit ; whose principles fluctuate with their profits , whose allegiance Ehifts with their trade , and who would make England a tracts-body dependent upon the custom of other nations , Using which she would become a bankrupt . The enckoo from abroad has got into our nest , and not content with her harbourage there , she casts out . the genuine brood upon the pricks .
It were an easy task to compare the moral as well as political character of the agriculturist and the manufacturer , bat as character depends in a great measure upon occupation , I will avoid a comparison that might be fietned invidious , and in its stead contrast the past and present appearance of rural life . Milton says or sings : " Sometimes with secure delight The nplaud hamlets will invite , When the merry bells ring round , And the jocund rebecks sound ; To many a youth and many a maid , Dancing in the chequer'd sh 2 £ e , And ycung and old come forth to play , Upon a sunshine holiday . "
Who can read this without mentally joining in the daace ? And < f 0 such scenes now exist in poetical description only ? Alas , the happiness that in these dnys was eo fiction , is now succeeded by as real misery . Two centuries of Whiggism and Toryism—of factions and class legislation , have sufficed to throw down the maypoles . —to expatriate the merry-makers , to send young sn
The callous townsman may be regardless of the countryman ' s distress ; but ought not the general ruin 1 of his ccuntTy to make him look beyond his own particular interests ? Emigrants are but escaping froai the evil day that hangs over England . Trade may bring capital into the country , bnt money is only artificial wealth . Should our intercourse with foreign nations ba cut off , where will the manufacturer find a customer , j and how will he obtain bread when the farmer has 1 gone and left the land , the true mine of wealth , impoverished ? England has frequently been successful in hex wars , { but then she fought against foreigners . Her best de- j fenders ar& becoming the adopted sons of America—of that Aaerica which broke from British thraldom , and : is now free to revenge herself . Past events should be a . lesson and a warning . Oh , then , let us . cease to con- '
Eider emigration as a common sewer that drains our land of its refuse population . They are the best and j most useful of our people that thus depart , leaving the j idle and profligate behind . " i The following tale founded on facts may illustrate ' some of the foregoinc ; remarks . In Da-by Dile , Yorkshire , there is a small but rural aud romantic farm situated at the foot of a precipitous j crag . It is worth while climbing that crag to view the ; varied scene beneath . Sometimes , at break of day , ' misty vapours roll off the top of the moor down into ' . the dale and fill it completely . Any one mi £ ht easily imagine that the ocean had overflowed the land , and ' that he stood upon a cliff to mark its progress . As the
morning advances this seeming sea gradually evaporates , ; and ail the characteristic features of the valley are one by ; one revealed in the clear suElight The fertile lands , inter- sected in every direction with hedges and dotted ' with i trees , present a perfect contrast to the sombre and uniform noor 3 above . A brook , edged with trees that , stoop as if to drink its waters , runB playfully in . and out of view through tfee middle cf this narrow vale , and nay be called the living tenant of vhia landscape , j In the buck ground , the distant mountains assimilite ¦ with the clouds ; in the foreground they rise bold and distinct like threatening giants whose crushing weight , : and not the unwieldy skill , imposes terror . The ; crag itself is interspersed -with large moss-grown stones , Titanian fragments , that have fallen from the rocky cliffs above , whose beetling brows scowl ' destruc- \
tion on ^ 11 beneath . Covered with wild herbage , among which grow irregular clumps of dwarf bnshes and trees , this spot has more the appearance of a covert for birds and beasts of prey , than a range fer domestic cattle . Immediately below stands the cottage , looking upon the cultivated lands that spread down to the brook's brink . Nor is the eye alone gratified in this interesting scene . In spring , a concert led by the loud thrush on the top of the lof dest tree , an * fiiled ¦ vith every vsriety of sound from the shrill treble of the piping "wren to the deep bass cf the mellow dove , makes the crag ring with notes of joy . The lover cf nature'in her wildest or softest aspects may sit and view s scene that will map itself upon his mind , or listen to woodland minstrelsy that shames even Maiizsr ' s aingitig millions .
Leaving this channiEg prospect , let us bend our steps to the cottage , which is as piciuretque as the scene around . A stranger would not distinguish it from the cutbuMnjp where cattle are lodged . The thatched roof is long and low , and overgrown with dark moss , above whish thehouseleek peers—the windows are very narrow and look more like peep-holes than inlets of light . It is obvious that this hut has been built with- out any preconcerted plan—so far from consulting elegance , convenience b ^ - " scarcely been attended to . The outhonses form an irregular group of dilapidated buildings—a little garden lays oddly between , and on j the outskirts of t *"* primitive homestead , is an orchard \ whose trees are so old as to be nearly barren . The j poultry on the dunghill and in the pool render the place lively with confused motions and discordant Bounds .
Richard Robiason was the tenant cf this Eequestered farm . His father had lived in the stirring times of war ¦ when the nation -weakened its internal strength in the Tain pursuit of foreign power . Ill-directei ambition is Bore to recsil—reaction is a natural consequence of overweening exertion . The money which Richard ' s father saTed before the times suffered their present relapse , he bequeathed with his example and certain prudent Tn « Tim « to his son who succeeded to a long hereditary tenancy that was doomed to terminate in him . According to Uib custom of the country , the funeral of his aged parent was celebrated with a feast as though the survivors were resolved by the most natural means
to avirt the fate of the deceased from themselves "When the mourning relatives had vented the free expressions of their grief , their sense of the worth of the departed , and had complied with the forma of ceremony , Richard entered on the management of the farm determined to merit thoueh be might not obtain the suc cess that had rewarded bis father ' s efforts . Our fanner ' s family at this time consisted of himself and his good wif « ¦ with , their son aid daughter—the former a stout lad that served his father instead of a hired Bervsnt—the latter a comely maiden that assisted her mother in the same capacity .

: cbanically knitting or spinning , while the scenes of her ' past life shifted before her mind ' s eye , lifee a revolving diorama . By dint of industry and economy this family of ' farmers kept their ground though the times were fast ¦ retrogaxiing , and if not happy they were at least conj tent The routine of each day's labonr was planned the I evening before—its regular discharge left them to enjoy i without interruption their hours of rest , which were I always cheered with recreation . Tasks were undertaken 1 for pastime—pleasure and profit seemed tote bound up i with every sheaf of corn . Ihe father took frequent occasion from his werk to make ingenious exemplifications of moral virtue—the son rang heroic Btrains to animate 1 a spirit already too prone to enterpr ' zs—the mother enforced her advice by delivering it in the accent of gentle j reproof—ths daughter sung tender ditties which increased her rather too morbid sensibility—but the old dames ' s voice was seldom heard except when raised
against some innovation of fashion or when poured in expressions of maudlin pity upon some object of love or distress . Thus oid the members of this connected family evince their relative stations in it . In the long winter evenings a circle of neighbours would oftentimes gather round the large turf fire that lay heaped up on the open hearth . There , while ths wind shook the old dwelling , as if angry at being barred oct—while the hail clattered against the windows , acd the scream of the owl arose like the cry of one benighted in the Etonn , ths heedless and bappy inmates entertained each other with the ssyingB and doings
of their forefathers . The adventures of a talker , whose tongue performs feats which the arm had never done —who tells what might have happened , if what did happen be not worth th 9 telling ; in a word , whose iEagination snpplies all the deficiencies of reality , this important personage , as needfal to eDliven as the fire to warm the crmpany , was no more wanting here than in more refined societies . The bustling wife would use the privilege of her sex to speak freely the pertinent joke ; the daughter listened in silence , as she bent over her sewing ; none laaghed so heartily as the son ; but mirth had lost it ? power on his ag&d grandmother , who dosed the while in her soft arm chair .
i Cjuld Ambition have stoope't to enter this lowly ; abode , there might he have found health aud content ' lovingly comfeiting each other . On a summer ' s Sabbath the quiet rays of the sun rested calmly upon the i simple furniture , an irasge of that peare which the ; world cinnot give . The oaken panels , polisked by the rubbing of successive generations , shone black as jet ; tfee articles of use were burnished , and served likewise for ornaments ; the old clock constantly clacked in a : corner , like a gossip whom age his made garrulous ; the 1 pictured emblems of Faith , Hope , and Charity indicated that those virtues had chosen this obscure cottage for their retreat from a hostile world . Here Piety might have Lund a refuge , and dwelt a rural hermit
here . i here . ! Sometimes the bad state of the markets would lead I to a discussion of the hardnesB of the times . Upon this 1 topic Richard was listened to with much deference ; i for besides that his success gave much weight to his . opinions , his experience and natural good sense had i procured for him the honourable post of parish arbitra-1 tor . Likehisprototype , "PoorRichard , " onrRichardused i to speak apothegms . He would say— " The times are bad , tut folks are worse . Their fathers were earners , but ' , the sons are spenders . A shillins would procure a good ] dinner , and if we do not need it ourselves there are ' ¦ many that do , and so may we at some future time : we
should think of this before we waste a shilling . You may always spend faster than you can earn . Luxuries are far dearer than necessaries , and indeed are dear at any price . What is sold is low-priced ; what is boDght is high . No won ' er that extravagant soub sink : faster back than their careful fathers went forward . They walk slowly to work , tut gallop to sport I believe those farms are few that will not keep a com-; fortable house , and this is all that can be expected now-! a-days . To be sure , misfortunes will foil the best ' management" Thus spake Hichard , whose prosperity I exemplified the value of his precepts ; bnt little did he ; foresee that adversity would prove th&ir iceffisacy when 1 cases are altered by circumstances .
Incited by the love of adventure common to highspirited youth Richard ' s son went one evening without his father's knowledge and shot a hare . Directed by the report of the gun , the gamekeeper intercepted the young poacher ' s retreat and demanded his booty . The boy with much reluctance complied , hoping thus to appease the insatiate man of authority , but in vain . The gun was next demanded—this had been borrowed and therefore the lad was determined to run all risks , rather than give it up . A fitruggle ensued—the keeper was thrown and the victor ran off with the weapon of contention . This simplo quarrel waB greatly exaggerated —the lad was summoned , convicted , and sent to prison . Though much vexed at his son , Richard could not but feel more resentment against his persecutor . After vainly endeavouring to compound matters , his wife and he repaired to the assize town to do what could be done for their boy .
The eyes of justice have been bandaged by law—right is weighed in her left hand—the sword is wielded in-Etesd of the balance . Richard attended at bis son ' s trial and heard the sentence of banishment pronounced zsainst him—his own peace of mind was banished at the sound . The lad , with whose existence the beet part cf his own had been identified , who had been the object of so much care and pains , who had new become capable and was willing to requite his parents—such a son to be ignominiously torn frem them and sent in such a manner to such a doom ! Richard with hia wife retired into a corner of the court and wept bitterlythey could not comfort each other , and the lawyers , thinking probably that they were beyond consolation , never attempted to console them .
When this sorrowful couple returned home they found their only remaining child in tears—the sight made their ctm fbw anew for they naturally deemed that her brother ' s bereavement had occasioned her grief , but it sprung , from a deeper source . A youth , who had volunteered his services during Richard ' s temporary absence , had improved the opportunity thus unsuspectingly afforded him to accomplish the ruin of his daughter , regardless of the affliction that had already befallen this ill-fated family . Poverty did not restrain him from committing a crime , the consequences of which it disabled him from remedying , and double
villain was he who could thus knowingly take advantage of the simple confidence reposed in him by an artless maiden to betray her to shame anil want . When informed of the situation of his daughter Richard heaved one sigh , looked np and then went his way without saying a word . His son had been taken from him not by the decree of heaven , but cf unjust man , and sent to a barbarous land—his daughter , instead of being a comfort to him when he most needed it , bad become a disgracefal burthen that added to the weight of his griefs , and bowed his spirits lower than the worst times could have sunk it His fireside no more attracted his neighbours . AH these things were against him .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND . Bbother Chartists—In my last I stated shortly the present state of the six districts in Scotland , and it will now be proper to point out the duties which an Executive will have to perform . Recent events have shewn us that the public mind among the working claaes is running in three different rViKnnRU—a small portion are looking to the movement for Complete Suffrage—among the middle class they may be considered the timid and the aristocratic There is a considerable portion who are still labouring under the exploded ides that Trades Unions and Strikes are a ¦ remedy to the evils of clua legislation . The patriot-I ism and intelligence of the working population , have ! unequivocally declared for Chartist suffrage , as the ' ¦ . only and sufficient security for moderate labour , perma-¦ nent employment , cheap f ovemmtnt , and the estftbliah' ment of national and individual liberty .
; It is the duty , and will be found to be the only sound ¦ policy for the Chartist , to pay no attention to either of ! these mcveaients . Complete Suffrage , if honestly taken ; up and persevered in , is Chartism . Trades Unions and '• a Strike for wages is an ism that has lost its charms ; In this its last effort , the Chartists , in no sense , ought ¦ to identify themselves with it , as such identification ! would be tantamount to an impeachment of the Charter I being a remedy . It would be highly desirable at the ¦ present time that the Scottish Executive be formed and i hold a meeting as early as possible ; and the place I ' presume ought to be Edinburgh , as the moat centra ^ i

being the easiest of access from all the six centres There are questions of vital importance awaiting tbeir determination . 1 . How ought the Chartists to treat the Complete Suffrage movement in Scotland . 2 . How far is it proper for the Chartists to interfere in Strikes , and in declarations for a particular rate of Wages , as Chartists . 3 . Another subject of vital importance demanding their consideration is , to ascertain the number of those who held Chartist principles in proportion to the adult population of the place each member represents . i . Another matter of great importance to the success of our movement is a declaration from this executive against all violence and unlawful proceedings . 5 . To take into consideration the despotic doctrine laid down by tha Home Secretary , that & constable was to judge of what constituted a legal meeting . If so we may consider the Habeas Corpus act suspended in this country .
6 . That the names and addresses of all those at present lecturing upon the Charter be collected and officially reported through the Star , as there is great danger likely to result from inattention to this matter . It cannot be disputed but that these are subjects of great importance . An error committed upon any one of these , injures or retards the progresa of the cause ; entire and complete uniformity of action is desirable . A declaration through a properly elected executive iB the only means whereby it can be secured . It was the duty of the nominal General Secretary for Scotland , who was appointed on the 3 rd January last , to have corresponded with the six centres , and have
ascertained their views upon these important subjects , as it is reported that he is now installed secretary to the Complete Suffrage Association of Glasgow : thus the means to convene these six centres is removed , it now belongs to themselves to appoint a . time and elect representatives to settle the snbjects mentioned , with othera that might be added to it . The West Midland District has elected their delegate some time since , their election having fallen upon Mr . A . Duncan . I trust then that they will proceed to their election , go as that the Chartists in Soolland may act with the spirit of unanimity and brotherly confidence , aa men who are engaged in a great and good cause , ready to sacrifice every selfish consideration for the general good .
I am , respected fnends , Youra , tmly , David Thompson . P . S . As I have received communications already wishicfj me to lay before this district the propriety of getting up a delegate meeting , I am quite agreeable to sarve those districts intending to elect representatives . If they think of sending their communications to me I will lay them before the Association of AHoa , and this District , and make arrangements with the friends ia Edinburgh for their meeting . D .

TO MR . PATRICK RAFTER , OF THE IRISH UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION .
LETTER I . Aye , roar in his train let them orators lash The ' . r fanciful spirits to pamper his pride Not thus did thy Graitan indignantly lash His soul o ' er the freedom implored and denied . B 5 TRON . MT dear Rafter , —The reign of Toryism has cominenctd here in true earnest , and the base Whigs have succeeded in laying the foundation stone of another bloody and brutal structure ! They are loud in tkeir laudations of what a splendid edifice it will be 1 But the people of England deserve to bo eternal slaves if they ever again lay their bricks and mortar for them . So O'Connell has coine out for the Six Points . Have
I not always told you he would da so , when deprived of Whig patronage end povrer , and that he wouid endeavour to make stepping-stones of the sham Radicals to regain it . I know your sentiments too well to believe that you can for a moment join in the supposition that O'Connell is 3 sincere patriot . I also believe that you are not the man to lend yourself to the propagation of any other opinion against your sense and judgment You know what my opinions are on this subject , and you also know , from your close and personal intercourse with me for the last sixteen years , that lam not the man to bow down before the " golden calf" today , that I yesterday proclaimed a cold , bloated , heartless idol . No , no man shall say to me
" Is it madness or meanneES that chugs to thee now ? Were he God as he is , but the commonest clay , With scarce fewer wrinkles than Bins on his brow , Such servile devotion ought shame thee away . " No one would be more ready than I would to make any sacrifice , if I thought it were for the public good ; bnt , looking as I do , a little beyond the water ' s edge , I will never embark in a vessel when I know that the old admiral , boatswain , and most of the crew believe her not to be sea worthy ; and that they are only locking out for a shallow to get safely on shore , that they may leave her and her unwary passengers ( after taking their passage money ) to perish on the rocks ,
and breakers that surround them ! You know , and I know that this has been done in Ireland time after time ; but again and again bas a fresh frigate been rigged out ; and again and again have we heard the old captain ' s cry , " Come along , my boys , pay yout fare , we ' re now just going to start for the port of freedom 1 " Have v ? e not often started her with 160 , 000 cheers from the bay of Dunleary ; bnt alas , have we not always seen her return dismantled and tattered , and her hardy crews ( the forties and the tythe victims ) wrecked and destroyed ! while her Admiral was skulking under the gunwale of the Kingstown and Hollyhead steamer ; And this is the man , forsooth , who is to make England again
"Tho envy of surrounding c tions ;' and Ireland " Great , giorious , anS free , first flower of the earth , And first gem of the sea !" Yon will bear in mind the many attempts that Mr . O'Connell has made to get the English people to give up their leaders , aud also the many attempts he has made to cause them to abaudon Universal Suffrage for General Suffrage ! Household Suffrage . ' Complete Suffrage 1 Well , all these have failed , and as I have foretold you , he now comes to the last kick ; for like Yorick's skull , " to this favour he mast come . " Bat what a sight is here , my countrymen ; the man who assisted in penning the Charter , then denouncing it , is obliged by the force of events to come back , tired , withont any one pitying him , to the very spet from whence
he started , changing as completely as the compass in a whirlwind , the doiphin , or the camelion . The times really seem to have as much effect on him as a touch of the hand to the sensative plant . You will also bear in mind that Mr . O'Cornell hsis been a member and a principal adviser of the Anti-Corn L 3 W League ; yeu will also remark that he rather ludicrously apologised for his absence at the late Anti-Corn Law League , " held in London just before the present outbreak , and when Mr . George Thompson , their secretary , made such a violent speech against the Government , and in which som 9 very strong threats were he 22 oat I have seen this speech printed and posted in many towns , and on even the huts of the fishermen in Hastings , along the coast Now it is a well known fact that the League premeditated stopping the mills for some time before they did bo ; but did Mr . O'Connell ( whom we cannot conceive to be ignorant of their intentions ) either expose
or denounce su&h an infernal scheme ? couple this with his desire to get shut of the Chartist leaders , and you have the why and the wherefore bound up in a little Whig wrapper . Ah ! the rascals , if they could only get shut of the leaders they think the people could be easily made to follow , and I am sorry to say that too many of the Chartist leaders have taken the bait that was laid for them , while they are now quite crazy because Mr . O'Connor was too wide awake for them to be caught by their chaff , and they are now crying coward at him because he did not give the lory bullets a chance of trying the softness of bis heart , while had be been fool-hardy enough to display his useless bravery , the rascals who now call him coward would be the first to exult in the arrest of the " hotbrained agitator , " or th » iDglorious death of a man who could allow himself to be made a second Jack Kade , to gratify the thirsty blood-hounds whose burning throats were parching for a second Peterloo ! like Satan ,
" Armed with hell-flames and fury , all at once O'er heaven ' s high towers to force resistless way . " Of one thing I am convinced , that the Leaguers have been much disappointed at the strike . They have been foiled in most of their deep laid plots to break up the present organization , and the foiling of which has rendered O'Connell's long hatched address a rather rotten reed for him to lean upon . There is enough of virtue in ths pe ; pie of Ingland , thongh they were deprived of every leader , to scout from their councils the traducer of their wives and daughters , and the betrayer of 609 , 000 of his own confiding countrymen . They still remember the cry of the factory babes ; nor do they forget the Glasgow cotton spinners , the Dorchester labourers , nor the shout of exultation at the fate of the betrayed Frost No , no ; the men of England will not join with the man who could coldly and callously look oa while the blood of the men of Clare is still crying for vengeance They still remember , if be shamelessly forget , the mas sacre of Rathcormac ! of Churcntown ! of Wallstown !

PROOF OF MIDDLE-CLASS SYMPATHY . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR , —In passing through a few coUiery districts of Durham , and Northumberland , I have learned a few facts , namely , any one who has the least desire for freedom can not obtain employment upon the most tedious terms , that is to sp . y , they enn only be employed from day to day , so that if it is found that any slave thus employed shall look into the Northern Star , or any other liberal paper , such slaves aro , without a day ' s rotico , discharged from their employ and turned out of their cottages .
You must understand , sir , that employers here are both coal mine , cottage , and slave proprietors , for if a man desires work and is willing to sacrifice political principle , he may be a slave for licelve months , and after being thus bound he cannot abstiin from work a single day without a note from ths colliery doctor , without being subject to imprisonment—neither are the colliers allowed to have a doctor of their own choosing—such gentlemen are to be selected by the master miners . If a collier takes in a lodger who does not work on the same establishment , the cellier must pay one shilling and sixpence a-week more rent fer such lodger . School masters are of the same appointment , for it happened a few weeks ago that a poor man , although the first scholar in the whole colliery , was roosted out ef the neighbourhood , and was not allowed to have either a school or employment because his mind was tinged a little with thinking about politics .
The coal-masters are supremely good , pious , and religious . The other day , a raving madman cried out in the street , " Thank God ! no man need ro into the pit " ( hell ) , when a poor slavo cried out , "What a d d lie , for I have to go into the pit ( coal pit ) every day , and work there from twelve to fourteen hours , or me and my family must starve . " The Iszy , canting knave had te walk about his business . ; ' . . If colliers are only found talking about politics over a pot of beer , it becomes hard wort for the publican to get his licence renewed . Yen may judge for yourself how things are here , when some of the coal masters are magistrates . They know too well that if the People's Charter was made the basis of all future legislation , it would ere long be impossible for any of them to have a supreme control over the labour and iives of a thousand slaves and their families . By inserting the above in your next Star , as my proof of middle class sympathy , you-will very much oblige , A Chartist Labourer in the Colliery Districts for the last month , Peter Rigby . Neweastle-upon-Tyne , Sept 25 , 1842 .

ANOTHER VICTIM OF CLASS TYRANNY . On Friday evening last , Mr . James Cartledge , the Secretary to the South Lancashire Delegates , waa arrested by Mr . Inspector Irvine , en a charge of using seditious language at Mottram Green , on Sunday , the 14 th Ausrnst . Mr . Cartledgo waa conveyed in a coach te the Town Hall , and consigned to tho lock-up underneath that building . A jtreat rumber of papers and boeka were seizad , consisting of Chartist Circulars . Northern Stars , and portraits given with tbat paper , together with a quantity of children ' s school books . Mr . Cartledge having for seme years back conducted a seminary for the instruction of youth , in which capacity he is much respected . A box fu l of books , belonging to Mrs . Cartledge's brother , wero also taken to the Town Hall , where they were subjected to a * izid scrutiny .
Mr . Cartledge having been kept in the lock-up from Friday until Monday , was removed to Hyde , accompanied by Irvine and Cross , for the purpose , as the Hyde magistrates informed him , to hear the depositions against him read over , at the same time tailing him there were other charges against him of a sarions nature in Lancashire . ' The depositions were then read and sworn to , and Mr . Cartlerige asted if he had any qu-. stions to put to the witnesses , the Chairman advising him to be cautious , as his questions would be written down and appear ajaipst him on his trial . Cartledge , however , put a few questions , aud elicited from the witnesses that they were officers in the Cheshire constabulary force . Cartledgo declined saying anything in defence , and Captain Clark having consulted his brother magistrates , stated that it waa a bai ' able offence , and ordered Cartledge to find two sureties in three hundred pounds each , and himself in « ix hundred pounds , to appear at the next Chester Assiz-: s , and to give forty-eight hours' notice .
Notwithstanding the exorbitant amount of bail demanded from this . poer man , such was the conduct of the magistrates that they refused to take four sureties at £ 150 each , instead of two at £ 300 . I applied for liberty to see Mr . Cartledge , which was readily granted , and I was locked up with him in hia cell for some time , and after consulting with him concerning his bail , he desiieil that I would make it known to the public , through the columns of tb . 9 Star , that he received the btst of treatment at the bands of the Manchester officers .

STAG HUNT ON TOMIES MOUNTAIN AND THE LOWER LAKES . The lovers of this delightful terra -aquatic amusement ( peculiar to KiUarney ) wero gratified to their hearts ' content ou Thursday . The weather being highly propitious , all tbe fairy flotilla of Lochlane was under weigh at an eariy hour , freighted with the youth , beauty , acd fashion < f the kingdom of Kerry , and no few contributions from the kingdoms beyond . At high meridian tho hounds were in full cry , and at this critical moment the bouts began to rendezvous near O'Sullivan ' a Cascade . " The antler'd monarch of the 'TOsto Sprung from his hea . tb . ery couch in harte , "
exaotly opposite Vincent Point—dashed towards the cataract—bounded towards tUe teeming flood just below the fall , and stretched gallantly away with nil hia deep-mouthed enemies at his heels . He bad not gone fur , however , when another Red Rover created a diversion in his favour , and a few hounds were seen hanging on the hannchos of the latter . ( This double hunt was only enjoyed by a few boats in the rear . ) The Muckrush . beagles , however , were no fcols , and the stragglers soon returned to the attack . The first stag had now reached the bouadary of Glena , when , as though scrupulous ( unlik , ; some of bia biped followers ) of trespassing on Lord Kennure's property , albt-it in a casa of life and death , the hardpressed animal turned him round , looked at his pursuers , and descending apace to the shore , and panting and exhausted , plunged into Ihe lake .
Scarce had he laved his sides in tbe pure and refreshing waters , ere ¦ a squadron of boats closing around him , compelled him to swim back to land . But the dogs would-not suffir him , re-invisorated though he was , to ascend . the mount : in again , and , like polite Irishman , seemed anxious , and in fict did a ! l in their power to give the ladies and gentlemen a ful ! and satisfactory opportunity of beholding the exhilarating amusement . They now urged him along the water ' s edge , and it soon became a contest not merely between tho quany and his pursuers , but between the hunters on the land and the rowers on the lake . Oece more , in the meantime , did the stag plunge into the glassy basin , and once more was he driven back . But though he had thus twice renewed his ' strength , on again reaching Vincent ' a Point ( the very spot where he was started ) , he for the third time sought refuge in the lake ' s pure bosom . He was at last captured by Counsellor Leahy ' s boatmen .

Jephson , Mallow ; Wilson Gun , Esq , Rattoo ; Peter Thomson and Blennerhasett Thompson , Esqrs ., and the ladies of their party . —Correspondent of the Kerry Post ,
