THE FOOLEKY OF SECTARIANISM , In Twelve Letters , By ' Joex Fikch . Liverpool : Ross and KivJHtixgale . In the former part of this little book , the author has exposed the absurd character and mischievous ' effect of that . " Sectarianism , " which would be more properly denominated bigotry , in a very clear and powerful manner . In the latter portion of it , he attempts to introduce Mr . Robert Owex , the philosophic founder of Socialism , to the world under anew character—that of the Scriptural Messiah . We have enough of " Sectarianism " " ¦ in our disposition to wish that this had not been done , because tre think it calculated to destroy " a large portion of the good which might have been effected b y the book : The system of universal co-operation and
social community advocated by the writer has our most-cordial approval , because we think it the best and most practical development of the great Christian principle of charity , but we venture to opine that the full developmentof " that religion of charity and love , ' for which Mr . Finch contends would reach us scrupulously to regard the opinions and feelings of our fellow men , that we might avoid the infliction of unnecessary pain ; and we submit to Mr . Finch that the needless parodies of Scri pture contained in his eighth and ninth letters do not manifest all the regard and tenderness for the feelings of others , which might haTe been afforded . At the beginning ofjhe book is a chapter on Universal Suffrage , and at the end of it one on Teetotalism , which we most cordially and entirely approve .

TO THE EDITORS OF THR NORTHERN STAR . Gkxtm-mra- , —T observe the capitalists very generally inculcating the opinion , that the working people are better off , Knd living more comfortably in their respective neighbourhoods , than in any other . part of the kingdom , although , at the samu time , they are seizi ng every opportuni ty of reducing the wages of the labourers , and also the scanty allowance of the pauper , until myriads of the workers , and thousands of the paupers , are actually reduced to the lowest state of destitution;—iriproof of thisf I'll ti ; ll you a story lounded on fact . r Oue day last , week , a poor vroman came to me , and statjd . that her husband about five months

I then asked herihowshe had contrived to live under such circumstauces . when sh e said , she had not applied to the overseer , ( being Irish ) but she had sold and pawned every thing she could , and that her resources were now entirely exhausted ; that she had already resorted to the expedient , when she had -nothing else to rire

FlBE . —HaTing . Witnessed the coaflagration of a large Tmilding , intended for a cotton store , belonging to . Messrs . Horrocfa , MUler , and Co ., I cannot omit so seasonable an opportunity of offering a ftevf appropriate remarks . So dreadful are the effects of fire , and so disasterous to the woriing people v ? ho are thrown ont of employment , that every effort should "be made to prevent or mitigate such calamities . In the first place the fire engines , pipes , buckets , and every requisite should he in perfect repair , and accessible at a moment ' s notice . All the fire men should he perfectly sober characters , well trained to the work , and made acquainted with the situation of every supplv of water in the town .
The superintendent should be cool-headed , active , hold , and decisive , and ought to be obeyed in all his orders . These remarks apply ' only to large towns , hut I beg to offer a few hints in reference to all cases , whether in town or country . So soon as the alarm of fire is given , instead of running empty handed as I perceive to be the case generally ; let , every person in ihe first instance furnish himself with a can , bucket , or any kind of vessel to carry water in . He may ta"ke it from home , or borrow it on the road . By a determined effort judiciously directed , many fires would be extinguished before much damage was done , and before the engines could be got to play . If the fire happened in the night as manv as possible ouchtto take lanterns
with them , which would be found exceedingly useful . Then , instead of standing as idle spectators , or preventing the activity of others , by crowding together , er ery individual should exert himself to the utmost of his power . This is but doing what he would wish others to do for him in a similar circumstance . How dead to ? ven humane , every generous feeling , " must these be , who , regardless of their neighbour ' s property , and of the loss which society at large must sustain , look on with indifference , or turn the conflagration into a sport ! Still more base and wu-ked are they who take advantage of the confusion and exposure of property to pilfer , and carry off such articles as they can conceal , belonging to the unfortunate persons who ^ e propertv is being destroved
by the flames . It is gratifying , however , to notice on these occasions , the activity and courage of many others of an opposite class . I have frequently noticed not only the working people , but persons in the highest ranks of sociery , exerring themselves in a most praiseworthy manner . "What a gratifying reSection it most he to all sueh . to know that they have assisted in preserving valuable property from destruction , and secured to many poor familfes that employment by which they earn their bread . It would be well always-to ascertain thenrwe * of Jirr . « , and to have them frequently published in a regular list , that thev m ~ ; rat be constar . tlv remembered .
Twelve houses in one street including a valuable inn , were kirned dawn in London , not long z-zo , through a drunken man , who > 'lept in r . : rarret ^ taking a candle to bed .

You ynll , no doubt , reinember that Mr . Sfaney made a very powerM speecb in tiieflbuse of Gommbns a few , # weeks ' back ,: relative to the necessity of a National System ofiEdncation intliis . cbuiitr ^ , - He showed » ihatin , iwenty years ;( from J 81 p to 1830 , ) ihe comrflxtfcijs-for crimeliad increased four-fold , while the ^ opui atibrj ^ had onl y increased tiurty-two per ceijt . ; plainly ; proving toe ya ^ t increase of . crime .
tie went pn to show the wcreased cohsumption of sP « "its" he spoke relative to the ignprdnce of the children employed in tlie large maniifactnring towns . According to the returns ihade by Mr . Horner , the f 1 acto , ry ? P ccWr , itappeared from examination of the children of the ages of thirteen and fourteen years , that there were : of the boys 41 )§ per cent , who could not read , and 67 per cent , who could not even wnte their own Barnes ; of the girls , there were 5 " per cent . \ yho could not read , and 88 per cent , wnovcould not even write their own names — > ow Gentlemen , these are some of MnSlaney ' s argurneuta for education . Kow for my reasons why 1 object to this niode of reasoning . First , then , tlie l in
emp oyers ; the large manufacturiug towns 'have reduced the wages , of -the . labourer to such an ekteut that the poor idan is compelled to send his « children tolhe mill in order to gain a subsistence for themselves , at the early age of seven , eight ,: and nine years , and . tb . ffse have to work very long hours . All this the father it compelled to do , tlirough . want of means ^ ol subsistence . The worlurig man has no protection against the avarice and cruelty of the capitalist , and hence it follpws that he must mther work . at the master ' s terms , or go to the Poor Law Bastiles of our county , whick treat poverty as a cnme , and destroy the holiest feelingsoi oiir . nattire ; but , good God , Why in this improved state ' : ( so called ) are not Englishmen to be -entrusted ' -with tne education of their owy children ? Such uncouth iniquities
makes honesty to blush at such infernal justice . Is there any wonder at the increase of criminality aiid ignorance ? Can nny man be surprised at a . man , driven , as men are now ; to the most LiineritablH misery , going to the beer-house to forget his mi ^ nes for a wlnle . The pluin and ungariiished reasvm of all this ignorance and criminality is the labourer ' s want of his emial and legitimate " right to have ji voice in theinalciiig of those lmvs by ' which' he is governed , aud a fair remuneration lor his labour . Give . unto " the producing classes of thisi . - ooahtry the free and unfettered nn ' nd , and equal privileges ! , then , and not till then , may we expect happiness and contentment . Justice and honesty is whnt the large bulk of the people want , not education jukI shivery ; but I ani afraid- , we shall have to use the words oi the poet , and say ,
