induces , the latter -was somewhat enlarged , and loaded with a considerable quantity of fat Mr . Carlfle ' s case is an instruct-Te one to the physician , and it mnst be a source of gratification to his friends that , by bis bequest , an item has been adfied to Hie treasury of useful knowledge . The show particulars were kindly fomishsd to our reporter by Dr . Thomas Williams , of St Thomas ' s Hospital .
FUNERAL OF RICHARD CARLILE . ( Written expressly for the Star ) The above ceremony took place on Sunday afternoon , at Kensal Green Cemetery , where , in accordance with the request of Mr . Carlile -when li-ring , the burial ser-Tice , or " priestly ceremony , " -was to haw betn wholly dispemea with ; bat , in taia expectation , the friends of tte ieiseased were disappeinted , as the sequel will shew . Thb Peocbssion haTing been announced to start from the house of the departed at two o'clock , a number of respectable gentlemen had , agreeable to the announcement , congregated together , in BouTeriestreet , and also in Fleet-street , near the entrance of that thoroughfare , at the appointed hour , 3 mone whom
Mt . Watson , the publisher , ( late of City-road ) and other liberals , of long standing , were distinguished . The hearse and mourning coaches ifive in number ; did not , howe-rer , arrive at the house until about three o ' clock . In five minutes after , the corpse was brought out and put into the hearse ; and in about ten or twelve minutes after the arrival of the vehicles , the procession started for the place of sepulchre . The route it took was . thronghFteet-street , Temple-bar . Strand , Chsring-« ross , Cockspur-street , Pall-mall , Waterloo-place , the Quadrant , Regent-street , and Oxford-street ; then along the Edgeware-road , { via Tyburn-gate site ) , Harrow-road , and thence to WjUesden , where the Cemetery is situate . The mourning coaches -which accompanied the htarse ¦ were filled with the male friends of Mr . Carli e . In the one attached to the hearse were his three sons ; on the right sat Richard Carlile ( the eldest ; i on the
left , Alfred itbe middle son ); and , in the rear , sat the youngest son , Thomas Paine CarMe , beside of -whom , and in -whose care , -was a respectable-looking male child , apparently about eight or ; Jne years old . Among the mourners -were , Mr . B . D . Cousins , the Radical printer anS publisher , of Duke-street , Lincoln ' s Innfields , &nd Mr . Allen Davenport , the veteran writer and bard , who has been bo many years known in the ranks of Republicanism ; and it is apleasn ? fact to record , tbat . notwithstanding the unfavourable atote of the weather , about two hnndred persons ( male *) , admirers of the deceased , accompanied the procession on foot the whole distance from Bonverie-street to Kensal Green , a distance of little , if any thing , short of six miles . Every one of the followers was decently attired , and some were strikingly remarkable for their gentle manlike exterior .
The IsiERMEST did not take place till about a quarter to five o ' clock , a few minutes after the arrival of the cortege at its destination . The coffin having been lowerejS into the grave prepared lor its reception , the byje-standers commenced looking anxiously around them , expecting the arrival of some gentlemen who , they conjectured , might have been engaged on the occasion to speak Mr . Carlile * funeral oration , as was done a few years ago , at the funerals of Thomas Hardy and John Gale Jones , at Bunhiil Fields , especially aa they were inwardly persuaded , and had 6 Vtn heard , that the deceased had constantly reiterated it as his desire , that at his burial , " no priesliy ceremoDy" should be observed , if it could be possibly superseded . In this expectation they were , however , disappointed ; and
¦ vere jaorerer ialorm&l , that the corpse would not ba allowed tctbs coxerea over until the rite to which they objected had been gone through ! whereat great diseatf-sfciction wan evinced by all present The multitude assembled were kepi waiting round the grave for about a quarter of an hour , without anything being done , in consequence of the clergyman , ithe Rsv . Josiah Twigger ) being professionally engaged with several other funerals which had preceded Mr . Carlile ' s in arrival Shortly after , thesurpliced pastor arrived at Ibe foot of Mr . Cs grave , with an opan book ( the Psalter ) from which he was about to proceed to read tiae burial service , when a scene not very customary at a funeral , ensued : Mr . Alfred Carlile , on the part of his father aad his surviving family , stepped forward towards the minister .
and firmly objected to the performance of the rite in question—{ hear , hear ) . The Rev . Gentieman replied , *• 3 must perform my < ki ! y . ' Mr . Carlile , jun . observed , " Sir , we protest againsj the performance of this ceremony . Oar late father lived and , died in opposition ta priestcraft of every description ; and we , tberef jre , protest in his name against the service being read" —( hear , bear ; aad good , good . ) The minister here observed that , he c * uld eo . help the aversion on the part of the deceased aad his family ; and intimated the ground whereupon theystood being consecrated , the performance of his accustomed duty was imperative—adding , that if they had given previous notice of tfeis tbeir objection , they micht have had their father interred in ¦ " the other ground" alJudiDg to some spot contiguous , not
consecrated , and , consequently , leis holy . ' Another son of the deceased here remarked , This , Sir , is our ground : we have purchased it for our family ; and we do not require the serrice to be read—it is a mockery /" Tbe Pastor then replied , " It was a mockery then , Sir , to bring him aera" The third son now stepped for--Ward and said , ' ¦ Then , Sir , since the service is to be performed , we wiil have our way thus far—we will retire , and not listen to it" { " Htar , hear , " and a loud burst of applause from all sides of the grave !) Tbe Rev . Gentleman here rtajarked , with great sauvity uf manner , That , of course , ^ entltmea , is as you pJe&ee —liiave no wish to interfere -with your determination upon that point ; btfjgyou mas : bear in mind , Gentlemen , the consequeBopof any determined opposition to
my sacred duty . " The Messrs Carliie and the mourners , one and all , then left the grave with contempt . ' The clergyman then commenced : " A man that is born of a ¦ wo man hath but a short time to live . He coineth up , and" At this moment , a voice at the head of the grave exclaimed , ¦** 1 move tbat all Mr . CarlUe ' s friends immediately leave court" { Hear , heat ) Some others rejoined , ' Yes , let us fellow lha example just now set us , and not stay here to pay complaisance to this mummery . " tHear , hear , -with loud applause . ) This suggestion was simultaneously acted upon ; and , in less than one minnte " , the minister was left to read the funeral service { which he recommenced ; to only the ssxten and ons or two isolated individuals who were standing on the clayey mound that had been raised by the spade of the grave-digger ! The ceremony over , one
of the deceased' s sobs addressed the spectators to tbe effect that the rite that had just then been performed over his late father w * s without their concurrenceth-it he , in conjunction with his brothers , had done all in his power , to prevent it ; but tbeir efforts had been fruitless . For tbeir own part , they disclaimed it , in act and deedv He then thanked him , as friends , for their prompt attendance on the occasion ; and , thus concluding , bade them a social farewell . The R « v . Gentleman displayed no bigotry on the occasion ; and 1 consider that he was officially consistent with order when we look at it in a business-point of viewleaving religion out of the case . The coffin of the departed was topped by s large brass plate , I sbonld say , about fourteen inches square , bearing the following in-Bcription , engraved in bold Roman characters : —
" RICHARD CARLILE , Boas Btb December , 1790 , Died 10 th February , 1843 I have learned this morning , from respectable authority ( Mr . Cousinsi that Mr . Watson had asserted to some friends at the burial gronnd , that if he had been appealed to land that sufficiently early ) he would have been prepared himself to deliver an oration over Mr . Carlile ' s remains ; and that Mr . Allea D-ivenp « t , as it iroi , would fain have obliged the company present in ibat -wsy , but for the apprehension he was under of having to walk to town , as the performance might cause him to lose his conveyance—for the coaches were
in a hnrry to proceed , after the mourners had left the grave to the clergyman and sexton . The Times of this morning—witn ita accustomed predilection for hyperbole acserts that daring the burial service , the pastor was interrupted by " ribald jes ^ . " Now , I can vouch for the utter fallacy of this statement . There were no persons present of a character at all likely to indulge in ribaldry . The Times must look for that in its own circle—the aristocracy—who patronize tbe gambling table , the turf , and tbe prize ring ; and not the soeiety of the intelligent and moral admirers of liberty and free discusion , who by-the-bye , have neither time nor money—like their patrician enemies—to sacrifice at tbe shrine of voluptuousness and *• ribaldry . "
Ttere were , to be sure , two gentlemen standing at a little distance from the grave ' s kead , who , by their smiles , indicated their ntttr disregard for the ceremony unCer performance ; bnt no " interruption" of the same was attempted . One of them , when the clergyman camo to that part of the service relating to a " sure and certain hops of the resurrection to eternal life , " certainly remarked , to his friend , ( but in a tone to be heard by no other prrson than myself , vho happened to be near to thfera ) , tbat he < lid not consider tuere was or could be arry suret y or certainty upon tbe subject .

of material mutilation . My visit to the above place was performed on -Monday last , the 28 th inaU , pursusurs to a complimentary privilege gratuod to me on the occasion , by Mr . Alfred Carlile ; and upon this respectful recommendation , I was courteously received by Dr . Whitfltld , whom I met without knowing him . until ha acknowledged himself as the owner of the name I inquired for , at ttedoor of the counting house , in the first area or tbe building . HaviDg there told him the pnrport of ay visit , he said I-was perfectly welcome to the indulgence I so eagerly sought for ; but Jie would remind me that the body of the deceased had been there eight days , and was therefore , by tbat time , so much muiilaUd as not to admit of a recognition of any of his features , even by his ttearest friends 1 but ,
nevertheless , if my earioBity was intent upon seeing the identical remains of Mr . Carlile , he would , on the recummendation of his son , most cheerfully oblige me . We then proceeded together across ^ the next area ; and having arrived at a large avenue , on the left of which was the entrance to the dissecting room , the gentleman resumed , Here is tbe place wherein he is lying : but , before I open door , I would advise you , if you have never before witnessed the interior of such a place , to forego , your intention . Don't , for a moment , miFtake my meaning : I shall think it no trouble to oblige you . 1 am oniy paying rtspeet to your feelings as a stranger to such a place . I Trill aflmii yon , with the greatest of pieasate , if you think it will not be unpleasant to your
aight I replied that , 3 felt Inwardly persuaded that 1 should not be unnerved . The door was then opened , and myself politeiy ushered into the room bymydistingui » hed escort . Toe first thing that met roy eyes wa 3 , the body of a child lying on its back with its face excoriated , and its feet near to the wall on tha right ; aDd a little farther on , nearly opposite , tbe body of a full grown person lying on its belly with the ieftleg off : while , to tbe ltft , as one enters the door , l * y the hacked remains of Mr . Carlile . with his head near to the wall . I confess the sight was raore unpleasant to my eyea tban I anticipated ; but I will , nevertheless , sum up the resolution to give a description of what I saw as correctly as my memory will permit .
The face of the corse was literally flayed ; and a student , actiug under tbe surveillance of Dr . Wnitfield , was chippii . g a-way small pieces of-flesh near tbe ear ( which was also either Jktyed , or entirely of—for , in the confusion , I really forget whkh ) v » ith a lance , for tbe purpose , I conjectured , » f arriving at curtain veins and muscles ; while on the left wa « a young gentleman lalso a student ) leaning , quite collectedly , aga-. nst tbe wall ( in whicb the door is ) with both his hands in tbe pockuts of a poncio coat , which was closely buttoned up to tbe chin . Toe room was spacious , and the wa . Ua ,
in several placas , were hung , " not " with diamonds , " but with ' unsightly black skulls , suspended by ropes to pegs erected for that purpose . I was the only person in tbe place beside the professional gentleman and the two studtnts , who seemed somewhat surprised at my entrance with their superintendent—seeing I was a stranger . " You see , sir , " said Dr . Whitfield , { pointing to the body of Mr . C- as we drew close up to it ) " he was a man possessed of flue muscles , and must have been strong and powerful , far a man of his size . " [ Mr . Cariile was corpulant , and belww the mid die stature . 1
" And pray , sir , " inquired I , * '"what might have been the weigbt of his bn » in ? ' - Tiiree lbs . 6 a . and 3 drs , " was the Doctor ' B reply . The trunk had evidently been divestad of the intestines ; there was a hotrid aperture on ita anterior , and a membrane , el-sgged with fat . was turned outwards , and was lying on the left breast ; and , as a surcharge of fat r * und the heart was said t ^ have been one among the complication of disorders that accelerated the death of Mr . C ., the greasy membrane to which I allude was , no doubt , tba pericardium . Dr . Wbitfield and myself then left iho room , and proceeded together into the street , when we had some Jiule chat . His conversation was chiefly professional ; ifc did not turn
upon the subject of the opinions ( either political or theological ) of tbe deceased , wtiom he did not , in my presence , either laud or condemn . So whatever migbt havo btam his private sentiments—whether Christian or sceptical—one thing was le * a equivocal : he was , dec dealy , no bigot . He rtfleckd , disparlngly , upon the superstitious prejudice that bo said prevailed against dissection '; and remarked , that ray friend , whose corpse 1 bad just left , had acted rationally in tbe bequest he had made of himself for that object . But there were , he said , persons out of Dumber to be found who were evtr ready to stab the rtputation of a medical man , upon the slights error be mi ^ ht have tbe misfortune to commit during his attendance upon a patient ; and yet , those very persjons , o * inc to tb « superstition
he reverted to , virtually denied him the opportunity of Snowing his profession , er , at least , of improving it We then parted in the u&u&l way—the gentleman having previously given am his hand . The spectacle I had just witnessed , though it did nut unnerve , produced , neverthtltss , a rather singular effect upon me , aud 1 wou . d advise any persona wnoiu curiosity , perchance , mixht direct them to wena their way to a tiissectiag room , to dine before thoy set out for that object ; for they will not , 1 apprehend , receive their dinner with any great ssst , afterwards . I speak from a close consultation with Jby own feelings upon the subject It was afternoon when I vu >\ ted the hospital , ana 1 had not yet dined , bui intended doing so on my way thither , but , ae it then occurred to me , that Mich a delay might cause me to forego tba object of my curiosity , by mating me too late for admission ,
I detmed it advisable to dtfer the receipt of my dinner —thir . king that on my return from that place I could have it comfortably , and without that hnrryiDg and confusion which must inevitably have accompanied an earlier partaking of tbe s . nue—1 was , however , sorely disappointed ; for after what I had witnessed , as above deBcnoed , my appst ' . te was completely set against fk'sh . It was the first time I baa ever sten any thing bearing a rtBembiance to meat , in human shape , and every butcher ' s sbop , therefore , after quitting the place of dissection , presented to my vision a most horrific appearance , and caused an unpleasant association of ideas to ocenpy my mind ; and therefore witb my imagination thus distorted . I betook mysslf to the nearest coffee rooms I conld find , and there allayed tbe appeals of hunger . From that instant I have made bread , cheese , pastry , &c , answer all the purposes of diet , an-I hava not touched animal food since .

BABBAROUS TREATMENT OF A COLLIER BOY , NEAR ELLAND . ( From the Halifax Guardian . ) It is this week our painful duty to record one of the most revolting cases of barbarous treatment that it ever fell lo our Jot to notiee . Tne case affords another illustration of the ornekies practised upon children doomed to slave-labour in a coalmine , and we beg distinctly to observe that we have understated rather than overstated the treatment of the wretch whose name we shall shortly introduce .
James Whiteley , a poor orphan boy , about seventeen y ^ ars of age , was appreutictd to Joseph Whiteley , collier , residing at Bisekley , near Elland , about seven years ago , as a hurrier . He was then only about nine years of age . From the first day of his apprenticeship to his cruel master , be has been the subject of the most severe and harsh treatment . The labonr to which he was put in his mere infancy was the veriest drudgery , and when his limbs failed to do their duty , a huge Btrap , or not unfrcqueDtly a thick piece of wood , was most inhumanely applied to his person . S : x o ' e ) ock in iha morning was the usual
hour at -which tbis poor boy was sent into the pit , and at the same hour in the evening—but opt unfrvquently eight or nine o'clook—he wai again submerged , his oniy subsistence being a muffin , or st-me other such eaUble , aid the water in the pit . -Tut : cruelties practised upon him have bpen greatly hicreased since his inhuman master was married ( aboaJ two years since ) , the woman it appears haviny taken a dislike to the poor orphan lad . As a sample of thu barbarities whi ^ h this collier boy has had to undergo , let the punishment he has experienced dnrinjj the past fortnight Bttfa-je .
It appears that the severe flogging which Whiteley received caused him once or twice to run away from his master . A short time ago he was so beat with a . hurrier ' s strap , and a heavy piece of wood ( piece of an old cradle ) , that he a ^ aia resolved upon ruuuiiig awsy . He did so , bnt on Tuesday week he was brought before the Halifax magistrates by his master , charged with disobedience . Through the threats and menaces of the crusl tyrant who had treated him so barbarously , he was stating the whole facts ofthe case to the bench . Tde lad had intended showing the various wounds inflicted upon his person enough , however , was said to indues the magistrates to reprimand the master , and the boy was ordered to no back again , and the master
warned not to ill-treat him in future . This waniin g ^_ howeTer , was neglected . The , same day he administered a most brutal castigation to his victim , which he repeated every day while the lad remained with him . Our readers may imagine tbat the harrowing details which are to follow are tinged -with an air of fiction . They are lac& 3 . The poor lad went down in the pit , was beat with a stick , and between each strobe the instrument was dipped in water . The lad ' s back became one mass of sores , and it was impossible for him to lie in bed , While snbjeoted to this inhuman treatment , he wa 3 allowed three meals per day of thin water porridge
only , and in consequence of his brutal treatment boils Droke out in all parts of his body . ' Frequently was he sent into the pit without breakfast , and obliged to perform the whole of his drudgery . Whac made this the more painful -was the fact of his labouring under the effects of a severo woundiiiflicted upon his right knee some time since . On . that occasion while beating him with a hurrier ' s Btrap , the master took hold of the end opposite the bncile ( which is generally a tolerably large one ) , thus causing a more severe punishment ; in one of the strokes the buckle caught the poor lad on the right knee and f-ore away a largo piece of flesh ] The lad , however , 2 * as stiil forced to work .

On Thursday night waek , this monster master ducked the lad ' B hoad t ' ni-ee or four times in a bowl of water , wetting his shirt all over , and forced h : oi into the cellar , where ho was locked up all night , without bed , chair , table , or eren a Morsel of rtraw 1 The Bame ... treatment was about to be practised on Friday night , but he begged so pitifully for mercy that he was allowed to go to bed . On Saturday night , howover , he was again forced into the cellar , where he remained , all night . On Sunday morning he was brought out ; no breakfast was given him ; but , as a further punishment , his master suspended a heavy bag of iron round his hick . and forced him to walk up and down the
room under the terror of another flogging . Some cold porridge ( which had been left tho previous day ) was warmed up aad offered him , but he could not eat . His master then left the house , saying he would look out for a good thick stick . The woman , shortly after left the house for tho purpose of fetching some water from a neighbouring well , and the lad being thus for a few moments left alone resolved upon ti-ying once more 10 escape from a worse than African Blavery . With great exertion ho managed to loose the bag of iron from his neck , and made his escape intor Gnmscar Wood . From thence he stealthily proceeded to the old Copperas Works , where he remained i till night-fall . During
his concealment in the Copperas Works ho heard his master seeking him . The lad , when referring to this oirenmstanoe , shudders involuntarily , saying , " I did Ucmble then . " Fortunately , however , he was not discovered . At night ho proceeded to Elland where a charitable womau took him into her house , gave him some coffee , and provided him with a bed . On the Monday he went to one of the constable ' s who took him to Mr . Joshua Dodgson , one of the overseers , who was sostruok at the shocking spectacle which the lad presented , that he resoived v up « n resuing him from h's inhuman master . He was brought before the Magistrates on Tuesdayby 'ho
, constable , accompanied al&o by Mr . Dodgson . Kia back was exhibited and presented from thenapoof the neck downwards one continued series of bruises , evidently effected by some solid but thin weapon . His rinht hand was also dreadfully swollen in attempting to parry off the blows , One part of his body presented raiher the appearance of raw , diseased meat than of human fioth and tkia ! It was at first intended to take out a warrant for assault , but on conferring with the Magistrate it was thought bettor to take a summons ' . for ill-treatment , with a view to cancel the indentures and release the lad from the liability to such orttel treatment .
The lad was subsequently removed to the workhouse , where he waa put under proper medical treatment , and the most assiduous attention has siuce been paiJ to him both by Mr . and Mrs . Dyer . We understand that 'Joseph Whiteley , the lad's master , will bo brought up before the Magistrates this day It may be interesting to know that this unfortunate orphan boy is brother to the girl who figured in a wood-cut which appeared in the Guardian some time ago , illustrative of the cruelties and indecencies practised in the coal mines near Eiland .

^ , — A VOICE FROM THE DUNGEON . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —I hope you -will not tttink that by addressing you I -vm seeking for notoriety ; njy motive for so doiflg is merely to opo ^ t he eyes of the hard toiling millions , ttutwy mi' know tho misery we are suffering for during to assort our right to a voice in the making of an agretnjent between the employer and the employed . 1 know fu-1 -wfcll ihat a letter from peraoaa suffering under the cruel hand of oppression never failed to enlist tbe sympathy of the working classes in tbeir fivour , and ia » : e especially if thry were men who were suffering for advocating the right of the working classes .
I have for sovtral years past aeon , by great exertions ia tho cause of Chartism , that you have the good of your feUow-STeatuieB ;» t heart , and that you have been among tbe foremost in opposing and exposing the trickery and fraud of the would-be frientls of the people , always taking the cause of the working class&Bas yenr own by supporting right againut might ; being aware of this , I fully rely on your candour for publishing to tho country an accouni of eoma of the many miseries endnreJ by us fui faring to tell the haughty tyrants that
their evil was cot good . I have often read with surprise and indignation the cruelty that political prisonera endnred . The latter , of O Connor during his incarceration in York C . istle , particularly struck me , and I must confess I thought they were rather exaggerated , but painful expsrence baa learn ° d me that all and much more -was true ; no ono can form an adequate idea of our sufferings , unless they hive imsn placed in a similar situation . You may judge from , ths following to what a state we are reduced : —
We hava a mom about eight yards in length , and five in breadtb , and on each Bide ia a door , two castiron piilars , about eighteen inches in diameter , which reaches to the ceiling ; a stone On one side with three slaba placed three feat from tho wall , which aesves fei tahlss , together with the same number of forms , constitute the whole of the furniture , and thia is what is called the day-bonse ; and in this place is huddled together fifty-eight men of all ages , good , bad , and in-

different SbouM tht wiuii ho iu the west , the place ia immediately filiei with snu > ko . and ia ; wet weather , we must either remain iu tb < j i . ' . « y-U ;> uas ! to be almost stifled , or be drenched with rain in the yard ; and we must also go in thiascate to a large room' to pick wool , and if the quantity is not picked , in all probability our dinner -will be stopped ; and I atu p-jsjtiive , tnat it is almost impossible to prick the quantity that is given to each man , for it ia of such u filthy nature that the room ia completely filled with aast and dirt , and the thorny bura that are in it oftt-n Inrae i : h « finjpsra for two or three days , aud We might as well complain to the stone walls as apply to tfeose who const a tly watch over us while at work . If any one is poorly we Bre almost afraid to apply to the doctor . ,
About the middle of November last , a man of the name of Clarke waa sent here for tha neglkct of family . Shortly after bis arrival he was tiken poprly and was admitted into the Hospital . He bad been there two or three days when tha old Doctor came ( this was on Friday ) and in bis usual blustering manner , thus accosted one , —Who sent you ?—Th « Governor . | To another . Who Bent you ?—Tde young doctor . iXJsnph ! He then" came to Clarke . Put out your tirgiie . ¦ Horn , hem . —Th « re is nochin « the matter with you that I can ours . It is nothing but luz'uesa . . Vqrse , give the man a dose of salts , au <) semi him to his ; ard . His orders were obeyed ; on Saturday he was ] sent to his yard . On the Sunday he was so poorly that he was carried to the hospital a second tim « , and on Monday morning he was a corpse . N «< 1 I say miire ; the mum came in strong and hearty and teas carried out dead . It is my firm conviction that had C'arke had proper attendance he would now have been alive . Tdero Krs hundreds who can speak as to the aoL-urai y of this atatiment
Sir , this being our s uatioti , yon may form some opinion as to the wreU-i . fl'iess of our condition—surrounded by men who are i : j iuus to cbe misery of their fallow creatures , who th :. k no more of tbe death of a human being than they would of thb de : < th | i > f a dog . I could furnish you with faevs of a similar nature to tbn above that have happen , a within tnose walls , bnt nrill reserve them for another time thinking that the above will be sufficient to pr < ive to yon that our condition is far from enviable . ] I think I should not he justified in concluding this letter without giving you Mime account of the food which is allowed to oncb rriwer . for some may think we have a sufficient quantity tllnwed . and that our confinement is the only thing w « have to complain « f . but those who think thus ¦ re arvm . y deceived ; the following are the rations per d-jy r ¦ - -
At half-past eight we get breakfast , which consis ' s of about 7 « 'Z . of brown bre «'' , n < l one pint ofeftiily , and tbat nearly cold , a rare bwikfast for a man ! to tread the mill with ; at twelve wh j / h * . . unner . which is either 2 oz . of very bail b : u : !> n and something more thau one pound of potatoes , or ont ; p nt und a Half of what is called scouse , or , if ntnthbi- of theso , w ? receive tha bread above mentioned and iv quart of what is called soup , if possible more nausmus than the scon e ; at four we get supper , an < 1 we reu » iv <; tbe fum « for supper as we get for breakfast ; nt five wo are kicked up fo . the night . '
This is , if possible , wursH thau any thing elsefourteen hours lock . < i up in a dark cell—then the wretchedness ot out 8 > tavt < rii forces itself upon our minds ; friends , relative- * liberty and h . ppiness , pass before us in quick mem -sion . To give you an a'i < quate idea of our t »< n < 1 is impassible , and therefore it is useless attemptns {; but sir , I hope the day will airwa -when I BtaaU be rnwar ^ wl for all the misery I shall suffer during tho two jc . aia i have to ubide ia this miet-rat'le dungeon . Hoping tiiat tbe p « ople will ntivnr relax' thtir exertions until the Charter necuiuu the law of the land , is the ardent prayer of An injured O . artist , James Williams , of Preston .

minds of their fellow men can become enlarged to tha objects they contemplate ; and thia experiment , in comrnun with everything else they undertake , has been , as fsvr aa circumstances would permit , iu accordance with the knowledge of the system that the society who have commenced it could be induced to adopt . In tracing Mr . Owen's progress from 1817 to the present period , it ia curioua to observe the manner in which various parties have from time to . time considered themselves qualified to co-operate with . him , and carry out his plans ; and also the modes by which . 'they have supposed themselves capable of accomplishing the same object by a mnch shorter and more direct route .
It is this belief , in my opinion , whicb , preventing a unity of purpose , has hitherto retarded a more rapid progreaa being made ; aud I trust , in tne course of this aeries of letters , -without reflecting unduly on the past , to point out that it is to . the immediate and paramount interest , not only of every clasa , sect , and patty in tha State ; but also of every individual of the human race , to lay aside all selfish , personal , and Bectional considerations , and to join in one aaiversal cry for the introduction of this system , the whole of the materials for which abound in anperfluity around us ; and thus forthwith to place man in a state of permanently progressive happiness , increasing aa rapidly as his faculties and powers can be enlarged and expanded .
That such a course will be taken by all as soon as the subject is clearly understood I am well convinced ; and if through ths medium of your columns I eau succeed in laying before so numerous and powerful a body of men as the Chartists of Great Britain , the benefits to be derived , and the ease with whieh they may be obtained , I shall nave employed my time to a most useful purpose . Suffice it to Bay for the present , that theio is now ready for every individual everything required for the happiness and well-being of himself and alt around him , and the mode in whieh this is to be obtained is easy and practical . I am . Sir , Your obedient servant , William Galpin . Harmony Hall , near Stockbridge , Hants , February 13 , 1843 .

DISTRESSING SH IP WRECKS . LOSS Of FOURTEEN LIVES . Hahtlefool—Thuhsday , Feb 23 . —It is oar painful du ' . y to relate one ot tho most melancholy occurrences that have taken place near thi * wort ( Hartlepool ) . for maiiy years past . The brig X .

E ., with a very heavy sea running at the time . It is believed that Captain Hinder was a
stranger to tho navigation at the spot where the lamentable catastrophe happened , and having mado too free with the land , let go his anchor , but unfortunately tou late , and consequently tho unfohunate brig X L , was driven upon the rocks . Every assistance was rendered by the officers and men of ( . ho ceasi-guard eervico , aided by tlio inhabitants , but unhappily without effect , the vessel having , in about two hours , gone to piece .- ? , aud ali on board , with the exception of a younn iuan named KyfSn , agod aeveuteeu years , perished . The number who ihus met with a watery grave ( inclujjijg the captaui ' a wifo , who unfortunately wts on boird , passeugKr ) was ten .

There was a tremendous sea running at the time , and the Margare ^ 111 a few minutes disappeared , and with her Captain Paton and two apprentices . About five hours after tho vessel foundered , the boat , containing tho five survivors , waa picked -ip by the men belonging to tho coastguard service stationed at Ciogher , and towed in there .

Duncombe ' s mini , prior to my seeing him . That l'bave removed it , gives me inexpressible satisfaction . My vow , or , at least , tbe more important part of it , ia now fulfilled .

By the latter they expect to be un ^ bie-i to construct a } system of society capable of pr-xiuoini ? , not only : i Auejbuppiy for the phyaical wants of « v < . ry individual , buii also every requisite for his happiuc-xa , by tbe full development of every faculty and quaiicy he may possess , physical , mental , and moral .
It is on these two sciences , ns laid down by tbe Rational System , tba ; » U the ptoceedings of the S cialists are based ; ami although there exists , ev « n among the body who hava assaciated themselves together t » carry out the principles , a considurabie difference of opinion aa to what th-jse principles really are , and a still greater as to tho manner in which tiiey nra to be reduced to practice—y t , in prop rtion as th& truths ef tbe syetem becutiJh inanifefit to the minds of the disciples the progress of thdr introduction will bo made . ;
It has appeared to many who have looked superficially at the subject , tbat failures have heretoforo tnken place in the development of the plans f ;> r introducing tbe Rational System of Society into practice ; but if we reflect , that in the 5 ear 1817 , R > bor ' , Owen flret announced to the public , that he , wahimt iany oihvr assistance than the Uuth from which be had s-, ' >; npihd his system , intended to destroy evr .-ry institu-ion of society , and make it give place to a : new and superior mote of human existencn , wh ' cb should gradually be made to be deairui by Ui ru . uka und classes , and see She proaresa which has b « en already made towards the attainment of this oi . j : ct , we mu . st come to the conclusion thil ihd assesl ' wx wajnoidiu boast ; bnt that what bas ^ eta done is must astosish-Ini ? , and the wholo win ni <> -jt aaavusdly and sp ' je- ' . ily bt realised .

From that period to the present , Mr .

I am aware , with sosie of your readers , I shall he considered as travelling beyond the object I proposed , namely , that of explaining what is contemplated by the Socialists in this experiment , but it is necessary to shew that in all our transactions we hava the universal and permanent happiness of ihe whole of the human race in view , to account for what woald otherwise appear the delay which tafees p '^ oe , in immediately putting together , as may otherwise be easily done , a small econumical association of men , confined Sa&lely to the supply of tbeir phyaical wants , and held ) together by strong coercive regulations . i
