      ^ The directors of one of the railways , with the view , no doubt , of catching " flat fish , " announce the fact of arrangements be ' mg made which will allow their passengers to angla ' in a pond well stocked with fish expressly for this purpose .

      ^^ HOUSE OF COMMONS . — . Friday , 3 / ay 22 . Lord Elliot presented a petition from merchants regarding New Zealand , praying for tho interference of Parliament to secure good local government there ; and , in a subsequent part of the evening , he gave notice that , on Thursday , the 27 th insL , he should call attention , by specific motion , to the subject . Lord Morpeth gave notico that , on Tuesday next , the Attorney-General for Irtland would move for leave to bring in a bill fer amending the s-ystein of rrgistering voters in Ireland ! a notice " which called forth

      tremendous shouts ef laughter from the Conservative benches . S . r G . Clerk called attention to the conduct of Mr . Horsman , in having addressed lr . = then , constituents of Cockermouth , on the Sth init : i :, t , stating that a Lordship of the Treasury had been off . red to him , and that he had accepted it , but that he should not vacate his seat until after the division on the Irish Regi .-tration BilL According to the Act of Anne , the acceptance of office vacated the oe * t ; the J ^ ght Honourable Baronet , therefore , held that Mr . Horemanhad offended against the Constitution of the House . He asked Lord Jo ~ n Russell for explanation .

      Lord J . Russell s : ud that he feared his answer would not be of a very " precise description . " On returning to town on Msnday , he learned tho office of a Lord of the Treasury had been offered to Mr . Horsman , and that he was disposed to accept of it His Lordship added that he had ne further explanation to give . Sir G . Clerk afterwards observed that he would repeat the inquiry on Tuesday ; perhaps , by that time , there might be the means of giving a more definr . e answer . Lord J . Russell said that he very much doubted whether he should have any other answer to give Mr . Aglionby asked -whether Fear ^ us O'Connor had been removed to York Castle , to be treated according to the rules applicable to the felons ?

      FEARGUS O'CONNOR . Mr . AGLIONBY referred to a petition which Mr . Feargus O'Connor had forwarded to the Home Office , accompanied with a c < rtincate stating that his health ¦ was bad , and that he would materially suffer if he were imprisoned in York gaol , according to his sentence . He iMr . Aglionbyi desired to know whether Mr . O'Connor was removed from London to York last Monday , and whether there was at the Home Office a copy of the regulations of the Gaol of York ? Also , -whether it was true that Mr . O'Connor , -who was convicted for a political offence , was now suffering imprisonment in the felons ' department of York Castle ?

      Mr . F MAULE said that by the judgment of the Court of Queen" 8 Bench Mr . O'Connor was sentenced to a certain period of imprisonment in York Castle , and the Secretary of State had not power to alter the time or place of that sentence , ( Hear , hear . ) There -were two applications made by Mr . O'Connor to the Home Office on account of his health , and as one of them came at a late period of the evening , the Secretary of State "was induced to delay the removal of the prisoner from the Queen's Bench toYorkCastle froci Saturday till Monday . Oiher representations were made on Monday . The answer was , that the Marshal of the Queen ' s Bench was responsible for the removal of the prisoner , and not

      the Secretary of State , Accordingly the Marshal removed the prisoner on Monday from the Queen ' s Bench to York . As for the department in York Castle in which Mr . O'Connor was he could give no answer . Tho Secretary of State had not the means of directing the visiting justices of the prison on the subject of their regulations , and Mr . O'Conuor , beiDg confined there , must be dealt with according to the rules of tLe visiting justices . Mr . AGLIONBY -would not now give notice on the subject ; but he hoped the Hon . Gentleman would inquire into the nature of tLe punishment the prisoner was suffering . [ [ ; ' |

      Mr . Villiers , in answer to inquiry from Mr . Darby , said that it -was his intention to bring forward his 1 second 1 motion on the subject of the Corn Laws on the 26 th instant . Mr . Maclean asked "whether it wns intended to take off the post-horse duty , or any part thereof ? The Chancellor of the Exchequer answered—No . Col . Sibthorp asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer on what day he proposed going into committee on the civil contingencies ? Also whether he intended to give a mere satisfactory statement as to Dr . Bowling's expenses ? The Chancellor of the Exchequer answered that he should move the estimates on the civil list contingencies as S'x > n as possible ; and that as to Dr . Bowring ' s expenses ample information was contained in the returns before the Honse .

      The Attorney-General intimated that inst « ad of moving for a clause in the Pour Law Amendment 15 : 11 , as he intended , to exempt stock from being rated to the poor , he should bring in a bill for the purpose . Mr . Darby hoped the bill would be limited to that siDgle oigect . The Attorney-General in ' . enOed that it should be . Lord Ingestrie asked whether the Government had receive i any despatches from the expedition bent out to explore the north-west v-assage ? Admiral Adatn answered that there had been some private letters , but no official despatch . Lord Stanley deferred the committee on the Registration of Voters ilrelend . Bill till June 4 th .

      Lord Stanley remarked tuat the Government had at last thought fit to bring in a Registration Bill , the effect of -srhich might be to " obstruct" the measure already before the House . He addtd that he had no objection to the Bf'Tise and the country having the opportunity oi comparing the different plans . A discussion followed on the second reading of the " Customs , &c , Duties" Bill , one of the measures resulting from the Chancellor of the Exchequer' " Budget . " The Bill was eventually carried by 107 for the second reading , and 15 for the amendment—majority in itJ favour , ti 2 . The other orders of the day were afterwards disposed of , and the House adjourned till Tuesday .

      ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION , TO THE , WORKING MEN OF BOLTON . " \ ! Fellow-workmen , —Emboldened by the multi- ! plied proofs of your zeal for the establishment of equal ! rights and equal laws , which you displayed during the ' past year , wo again address you in the spirit of ! fraternity , as the men who are the producers of all weaith , and -who ought to be the source of all power , j We ask , confidently ask , your assistance in striking another blow at those factions -who have monopolised political power in orJer that they might the more easily revel in the luxuries wrung from your toil . We ask y-iur assistance in laying the axe . to the roots of that [

      tyranny , which having bowed to the very dust , would add insult to injury— "which having deprived us of power , privilege , and comfort , "wcrald itretBtute itself int « our good graces , and enlist us on the side of that very faction which has been most active in rivettirg the fetters "which bind us . Fellow-workmen , -we invoke i I you to allow no delusive agitation to divert you from ] < your purpose . You have petitioned for rights to which , y « ur oppressors could find no plausible answer . Your j prayers for redrwss have been met by callous indifference—your peaceful meetings have been broken in upon ' and dispersed ; your leaders are suffering lengthened ] periods of imprisonment ; private prosecution has been superadded te public wrong . < r

      Can you place confidence in the parties who thus ( attempt to destroy your movement ? Can you expect justice from the men who have used their ill-goiten ; power and wealth for the purpose of destroying-every vestige of freedom in opinion , in speech , andin action ? Can you follow in the wake ef those pretended advocates of liberty who have , invariably , lent their unhallowed assistance to that faction which from the commencement has evinced the most deadly hostility to the people and to the people ' s advocates ? We answer , no . We can only obtain the political union 1 you seek , and the social elevation to which you aspire , | by the force of your growing intelligence , by the aid of your own united energies , perhaps by the force of your own right arms .

      Fellow-workmen , we are far from wishing to fos- j ter a feeling of enmity between one class of society and another . We regret the existence of such a feeling . It has not been created by us—it is the natural , the inevi- j table resnlU of a system -whose tendency has been to enrich one class at the expense of the health , the happiness , and the comfort of another . It can only be '' allayed by the concession of the rights of the people , j Wherever tyranny exists their decisions will be perpetuated ; -where oppression reigns our manhood impels us - o cast off the oppression , and to hate the oppressors . We cannot imitate the conduct of the lamb : —

Had a change of Government been attempted by the j people forty years ago , the transition from slavery to ! freedom would have not been only safe , but easy . j Had an effectual Radical Reform been carried out in ¦ 1832 , the obstacles to have been overcome would have j been much less than those which at present exist Each moment ' s delay will lead to increasing and

      magnified difficulties ; each succeeding day witness the ! growth of new and sinister interests , attaching them-; selves to the system ; and , although we know that that system carries -within itself the elements of its own desi truction , yet the knowledge is embittered by the thought { that its dissolution , if not precipitated by the speedily j exerted energies of the people , will involve in ita downfall the complete disruMion of society itself . For we need not refer you to the dark historic page , which re-. cords the rise aud fall of nations ; which tells of Radical errors political or social , apparently trivial in their ! orgin , yet dimly seen , or freely grappled with , extend-; ing themselves gradually throughout the whole framej -work and spirit of society , diffusing , like an insidious I poison , their vitiating influences , with multiplied I rapidity , as they advanced towards a rotten maturity , i till , corrupting and corrupted , the systems and the

We need not point to , $ h % origin ,-the exteusion , and the effect of ex « lusi « eoesa in our own country ; the first are known to many of you , the latter are to be seen , grim and hideous , in the heartless pro-, flijacy of the privileged , in the incessant and uni rewarded toil of the labourer ; they are felt in the wide-spre : id misery , and the unnumbered Tices -which | present themselves to the offended eye , and shriek j upon the unwilling ear of the most unobservant .

      LETTER XII . , " PROPERTY HAS ITS DUTIES , A * WELL AT ITS iu guts . "—Drummond . My Friends , —The few worda / of the lato Under Secretary for Ireland , which I have chosen for my motto , have a meaning , -which , it . would be well that all men who possess property , shomld rightly comprehend . The solemn question of th $ right which any individual has to apportion himpelf a share in the national wealth , can only be settled , in favour of the posession of private property , on the assumption , that the owner thereof is willing to perform the duties entailed , by the invariable laws of society , in that possession ; as -well as the determinatton , to maintain bis individual ri-M in his possession .

      This may appear startling to those who vainly suppose that they have a right to do what thtey like with their own ; it is , however , nevertheless true , not only that no man has a right to do wrong with his own , but also that no man , who is possessed of property , has a right to refuse the performance of Ui » duties appertaining to that possession , whilst he iasists upon his right of possession . v" ? , k There is no truth more certtMk ntfie , in our * age , less remembered than that " PropftfiiAB its duties , as well as its rights . " I thank the 43 &miAent for having bo'dly asser ted that truth ; I ctiMBMHtovernments to

      P c , t ] n n enforce ami maintain it . I rMH ^ feftBfre that immense majority of the crime aaraBlfc which abounds in this country , may be attribuUJS t | thie fact , that the universal opinion of the holdersij » f fcroperty has been , that the r ' vjhts of property were pisitive , whilst they supposed that its duties were ncf obligatory . This opinion , my friends , wars again * the fundamental principles of Christianity and tfl Constitution ; and , consequently , against the only pnlciples on which , in this country , the right of privaWBWperty depends . It must therefore be true , that aovlaa in society is so much interested in the bold asaftion of the duties of

      p ^ j s ^ ; J ' i I j | . a j i \ j ' ! property—as that is , which w enjoys the rights thereof . 11 is high time that tft national mind were solemnly fixed upon this one flnnt j it is in vain to i hope that force will long MB an unjust right ! ; A right , which refuses to oom ^ Brith d uties which are ' inherent in the very P $ Sfl ^^ R > rejects the only i shield which God and Bagt ^^ Hre p rovided ; under ,, | such circumstances , the oyti ^ HR # fftnnde » r ; aln ?? , . although , for a season , &tuHRT expense , constant ! vigilance , activity , and aMpSy ^ Jl . gpy maintain what ; he calls his legal hold—tf ^^ MupM ^ lon being withi drawn , he will , sooner , « Hfc » S 5 t-flriven out of the

      \ possession of that Pp ^ QHOK / J ^ P ^ ty , the duties of which he has obaUagyffiflPBsed to perform .

" It would jieem that the magistrates of Halifax have thus resolved , else in the case of the lad ( William Hardy , they are misrepresented . There are , however , two evident reasons why , in that war of property against indigence , the latter must conquer—the shams and the expense !

      Society could not exist with prisons filled with individuals , with whom every moral and religious man was sympathising ¦ property could not exist under the expense of maintaining all the destitute in gaol , so that after all , honesty is the best policy ! " But , " says another , ' by imprisoning such lads as Hardy , we shall frighten others , and thus reduce the number of the dangerous . " Indeed , how ? Can you conceive anything more amiably humiliating than that an English lad , after selling his last shirt , should quietly , without any violence , insolence , or murmuring , having such veneration for the institution of private property ,

      forego his natural right to live , and consent to die in the streets ? The most strenuous advocate for irresponsible property , can surely require no more than this My friend is mistaken . He forgets , that necessity has no law , and that William Hardy bad adopted the only means left him , of peaceably upholding the institutions of the country . What more could he do , than , witha murmur , lay down to die ? By sending him to prison , the magistrates have ( if the case is properly reported ) very judiciously hinted to all other indigent persons—that it is a crime to starve in the viidst of plenty . Thus , you see , my friendo , does tyranny

      assist in pulling down the power of its own oppression . My attention to the question of right and duly has been forced upon m 8 by the case of William Hardy . I make no apology for the apparent digression . Before I conclude this letter I will prove to you , that this question is very closely connected with my narrative . In the case of William Hardy , ( always assuming that the report thereof is correct ) , property has enthroned itself in the seat of justice , and has openly declared its resolution to divest itself of its duties , and still to assert and maintain and enforco its rights . Now , it is certain that thu prisons will not hold the destitute ! What

      then must bo done ? There is only one step further that irresponsible property can take . If it be resolved to maintain its blasphemous position ; that step it must take . It must authorise its officers ( the police ) quietly to lead all destitute persons to the slaughter house , and there , in the most peaceable manner , extinguish life . Do you start , my friends ; it is the only further step that property divested or duty can now take . And what does this prove ? The folly , the wickedness , the blasphemy of supposing that there can , in nature , exist a right . without a duty . It is the influence of the Satanic spirit of the New Poor Law , imbibed by communication with the three-headed monster , which has forced the Halifax

      magistrates to forget that they ore men . I have endeavoured to make myself clearly understood . If you do not comprehend me , read over thus far , once more , with great care . The question is all-important . I would not be misunderstood . I am no destructive . I would , if I could , prevent property from destroying itself . The great danger in this age is , that the owners of property seem to be bent upon maintaining their rights , and , at the same time , neglecting their duties . No treason can be higher than this ; it is treason against society and tho Crown ; nay , my friends , it is treason against nature—it is treason and blasphemy against Almighty God ! Let the magistrates of Halifax look to it . God will not thus be mocked with impunity . For the present I will leave this subject , and return to my narrative .

      It is because Mr . Thornhill had forgotten that he inherited duties as well as rights that I am here . He had drank deeply of the covetous spirit of philosophy , and had banished from his mind all idea of the responsibility of wealth . He had done more : —the man who in his youth had sacrificed thousands of pounds annually , for the word of his father , in riper age , had forgotten his duty even to that name . I never think of old Squire Thornhill but with reverence . I never saw that good old English gentleman ; but I have heard of him from those -who knew him welL

      In his days Fixby was indeed a happy spot The neighbouring gontry , the tradesmen , the tenants , the servants , the labourers , and th ^ indigent \ re rH « flj « tt , . aa ^ pPSS *! & «< &ll * i ? tAia& , in manner an * irfifc pt »« t » «^ ited to their rank . The hall then resounded with y * e ir merriment j Uw > very ' tables groaned for their refreshment . Nay , on tneir passage through the park , the cheerful visitants , pacing to oc from the mansion , were loud in praises of the good old " Lord , " the happy Squire ? How often have I heard of " the good old cheer of Fixby , " of the groupJTof " pensioners ( notpaupers in those days ) who thronged the door—of tho long table

      in the servants' hall , loaded with provisions for all the rustic comers . There were the well remembered flagon , not stinted in its measure by excising rule , but so large and full as to require a four wheel carriage , on which to push it round among the merry group ; the large wicker basket , filled with wholesome bread ; and then , tho fine old pewter dithes ( which had , in days of yore , grjMxd the tables of tlie Squire ' s ancestors ! crowned ¦ with sirloins and crops of •* Fixby beef , " all smoking on the table—invited the healthy and the happy throng to eat trfirtlnted . Old Savil sat , asking in that parliament—and swore the members , in a horn of '' Fixby

      ale , " drunk standing , to the health of " the Squire and his boy . " Such was the servants' hall at Fixby , in tho Old Squire's days . My late master was then a rosy , chubby lad , who oft made one amoDgst the cheerful merry ones in the servants' hall . Then , the housekeeper ' s room at Fixby , furnished accommodation and refreshment for the middle rank ; and , at the Squire's table , the gentry all round the large domain , found a hearty and a jolly welcome ; they were not so straight laced in those right English days , as our modern fashionables are—they would often mix together in the spacious hall , or on the downy lawn in front , and blend their ranks in festiva merriment

      All were happy then at Fixby . Horses and dogs were welcome there , as wall as men . And the good and generous Squire , who was , in deed and truth , a ? fine old English gentleman , " even in his i ides , did not neglect the poor . I shall never forget the lively descriptions I have heard of that Yorkshire Squire . The traits of benevolent feeling in that good soul may now be laughed at ; philosophy has chilled the English heart I But his good deeds " have followed him "—he id not derided where his spirit dwells !

      That " father of the poor" was wonty : when he , and his old trusty servant Savil , took their rides together , to furnish him with silver , and make him ride some score or two of yards in front , with orders "to relieve the poor whom they ^ niight meet" The Sqnire's tender J ^ HJt" c ould not endure the ^^^ djEli ^ MH ^ hpoyerty ; but he rejoiced to see the smile ojc ^ naHH ^^ fti upon the haggard brow , which beamed , in token of retiirtifor his benevolence . That was bis rewatJ !

      He was indeed a kindly soul . He felt for animal , as well as man . If he were persuaded " to go a coursing , " he would be pleased to see the hare escaping from the dogs ; but , when the latter gained upon the fugitive , turning his back , his orders were— " Savil ! call them off , or they will kill the hare . " Does any smile You are not of my spirit , Sir ! I revere , almost adore , a soul so truly sensitive ! That feeling was divine !

      How often , aa I have rambled in those sweet and lovely grounds , have I fancied that I saw that pair wending their way , at forty paces distant , amongst the lawns and shrubs;—then , when they entered the plantations , or journeyed through the woods , the old Squire's voice seemed quite familiar to me , as he commanded , in the accent of friendliness , " nearer , Savil ;" when straight , old Savil " pulled hard , " until the Squire advanced just twenty paces—then the wellknown voice pronounced— " Savil , go on , "—when both proceeded on their accustomed track . How often have I thought I heard them talking loudly , as they were wont . They had no secrets ; the Squire needed none

      he had no spies nor fears . His noble heart beat but to bless ! Some few of you are old enough to know that this is but a faint outline of the reality . Thousands have heard of Fixby's former days , and of her good old " Lord ¦! " Oh , she was happy then ! No need was there of troops , police , or spies . Commissioners were things unknown . And why was she so happy , friends ? Her owner then believed that property had duties as well as rights . That was the only spell ! Tell me , was I te blame , because I revered the name , and cherished the memory of that " Lord of Fixby ?" It so—thea am I justly banished from that spot Do I complain ? Not of my banishment—but I do complain of after treatment ! From the son of that good man , i

      did not deserve to be defamed , and to be refused a Jury of Yorkshire gentlemen ! In his base and ungenerous—his cowardly and ungentlemanly treatment" I have seen all that worldly malice could do , — And all that worldly ingratitude has done . " , ( "Baxter ' s Don Juan Junior . ) But , from him , I have n » t deserved it ? Whilst I was at Fixby , I was resolved , at all hazards , that the name of Thornhill should be honoured . The expenseo were heavy , but I was willing to bear them . I could not endure , that any persons , labourers or gentry , ( and they were very many ) coming there on business , should be refused suitable refreshment , . either for themselves or their horses . I could not bear' that the destitute should return from that Hall unrelieved , or live in its neighbourhood , and not have a friend .

      Thousands of you know what I mean—and may . guess at the expenses . That cost made me , as you may be sure it would do , the Squire ' s debtor . After my discharge , I was preparing to offer him the whole amount , which , ( I verily believe his conscience would not have allowed him to receive ) when , in a sudden freak of passion , he told you that I was a rogue , and had cheated him—and that , he said , was why he discharged me ! From his own hand-writing , I shall hereafter prove , that when he told you so , he knew it was not true ! Yes , my friends , I am in possession of his own letters , over and over again , to prove that fact . Ten thousand thanks to his solicitor for ordering me to produce the Squire ' s letters . I have not yet arrived at that part of my narrative .

      Mr . Thornhill was well aware that I could not bear to live at Fixby , and superintend that estate , without doing all I could to make up for his absence . He knew that I had not a crust of bread—a glass of beer—a blade of grass , or a single grain of corn allowed , for the refreshment of strangers ! No , nor a potatoe for a beggar , or a cup in which to hand him a draught of cold water ! He would have had me " To order all who came , dry-mouthed , into the office , and to have made tkem hang their horses at the door ; and , when I had transacted business with them , to have sent them off . "

      This was not in my nature ; it was not good even for his interest . It was spiteful to his father ' s fame All this I t » ld him . In reply , he would write to me as follows . ( Whilst you read these quotations , remember what I / have told you about the writer ' s father—the former r Lord of Fixby ! " ) " I ao not wish that persons who come to my Steward upon business , should be treated with meat and dri& . " And

      again" I certainly differ with you upon some points—in as much as I should be extremely surprised if a person came to my farm at Riddlesworth to buy wool , and my Steward thought it proper to treat him—equally as much as , if I went to buy anything at a shop , and the man was to feed me . " So says the present Squire Thornhill ! Now , I have had some little experience in " buying wool at farm houses "—and at gentlemen's and noblemen's houses also—and , from my experience , I should think that Mr . Thornhill ' s farm house at Riddlesworth is the only one in England where refreshment would not be offered to any one " who came to buy wool !"

      At all events , I could not endure such niggardly conduct . I told him so plainly . Why did he not then discharge me ? Let him say why ? I have a shrewd guess , that he inwardly approved of what he pretended to dislike . When I told him that a good neighbourhood required a little hospitality , and that his tenants remembered " Old Fixby , " and revered the name of

      " Thornhill , " and that I could not help , if I lived there , doing my best to convince them that I was their friend , and felt a lively interest in their well-being , and in the improvement of their condition ; and that this could not be done without acts of kindness , which were sometimes expensive ; and when I assured him that it was his real interest that this friendly feeling should be cherished between his steward and the tenants , he would

      reply"If you were the steward over a large estate in London , and St Giles was a port of it , what is . it to you what they were , provided they paid you their rent for your employer . " Then , when I endeavoured to convince him that there were other anymore important dutkt Kqaind tern 4 « tevard ^ iij | n itaie'Bi ' e rifs ( wiiere ; tn « ^ Iaffdlord was always absent ) tjnaa to receive rents , he would say : — " The tenant occupies his house and farm for bis convenience , and if he could get a better tike cheaper , he would not live under me . He lives upon my land to suit A is convenience . "

      It was in vain that I endeavoured to convince him of his mistake , and assured him , as teas the fact , that there was a nobler feeling among his tenantry ; the low of the sod , and the veneration for the landlord , and that many were as proud of being his tenants , as if the land were their own . He could not understand me . He had estranged himself from his tenants , and he could no longer enter into their feelings , but would dryly answer :- ; - "If a man hires a shop in Leeds , it is to get his living out of that shop . My tenant only . Urea upon my land as long as it suits him to get his living out of my land . If he could get a better thing elsewhere , he would quit me . "

      You will naturally ask , how , after having such repeated proofs of the cold estrangement of Mr . Thornhill from his Yorkshire tenants , could you consent to remain his steward ? I had strong reasons , my friends , and you shall know tBem . That position gave me considerable power and influence . I loved the tenants , and was assured by facts innumerable that they loved me . I was ardently attached to the locality . Fixby -was a para

      dise to me ! Aye , if you knew the many endearments of that place , you would wonder how I could endure the separation . ¦ The recollections of my boyhood—of my father ; the beech tree -which he planted—( just opposite the -window of my drawing room , )—nay , every turn and twine in garden , shrubbery , plantation , or the walks , all told me a sweet tale of him , or of my dear , dear mother ; or of some other friend , removed from scenes terrestial :

      No trees bore foilage , to m y eye , so beautiful as Fixby trees ; no flowers smelt so sweet as hers ; no birds could sing so tunefully as the linnets , blackbirds , and the thrushes in her groves and gardens . And then the cooing of her doves was wont to soothe my oft-troubled mind . The lowing of her cattle , the bleating of her sheep , was sweet as music to my ear . She had other charms than these—no face there met me but it smiled ; and the tongue gave ready utterance to its translation—'' God Wess you ,. Sir ! " There were at Fixby ttoee lovely damsels , all dear to me as if jay own—one ol them is not ¦

      "r ^— I change subject—nor time nor space can obliterate the fond , remembrances of that chatming spot ! iooula not , ~ fdi aM brr ^ cbm ^ ss TTorge ^ infteniines of Mr . Thornhill and of his lady when he placed me there . I always lived in hope that the time tQOuld come when he -would change , and once more feel towards his Yorkshire tenants as in his youthful days . Nay , one reason for his coldness to me I was bound to honour . He had two lovely children who , from faults not their ewn , could not inherit . He wished to fortune them . These are his words : —

      " With regard to money , as for as relates to myself , I could do with very little ; but I am fond of my son , ( and with just reason ) and it will give me the greatest pleasure to make him a fortune , if I am able—that is it what makes me look after the main chance . " ' I honoured the motive ; I also was " fond" of his children ; I believe all who know them are so ; and 1 resolved , at my own cost , to run all risks , and make

      his name honoured on hia patrimonial estates ; Whilst he was milking them , to make his children independent , I tried to shield the tenants from the burden . It was too heavy , for my single shoulders . The result is , the Squire's children are rich ; and I am banished . But , npver mind , my spirits are not down—my conscience is at ease ; and Mr . Thornhill some times thinks on me . On one occasion , he wrote , -when I was asking ' money for

      repairs" I must consider myself as only having a life interest in the property . " And , again" The real truth is , I am ftke most fathers , I wish to do the best for my family ; life is never certain ; and every thousand pounds is a great sum to my son , in case of my death . I am trying to make an estate hew ( Riddlesworth ); and if I live ten years longer ( 1828 ) , and we do not all break , I shall do it "

      I hoped that we should both overlive these tenff years . We have done so . But one la gone—the peac * I | keeper of bis whole establishment la no more . MrtS ! Thornhill ia dead !

      My friends , I have now given you the reasons why I jR remained the steward of'the selfish Squire . Do lm regret ? Oh ! no , my friends , I cannot grieve ; I auV M ceeded to my heart ' s content . My master's name was w honoured , and his steward was beloved : what boots ft jp if the Squire ' s wrath has made me poor ? 3 ] t Tell me now , ye Yorkshiremen to whom I write , wa » ]?§• there one name more honoured in that district than « E was Thornhill ' s ? Where is a race of tenants more * ! devoted to their lord , than were hia ? I appeal to all Jp of every grade and party , if ever name was held in . Tw more esteem ? And for myself—separate from mi | | l politics—I dare appeal even to the Whigs . Sri

      Let my departure from the Squire ' s mansion , when fa he had done his worst , tell how the peeple loved me . fji The countless thousands who did me honour then , did fl | well reward me for all my anxious cares and jading afl labours ! My absent master , from afar , did spit and 19 croak . The slime and cryings of that — ' TOro isl cleansed and silenced by your kind attention and your \ 1 loud applause . Ah ! when shall I forget that day ?— 41 not in this world , my friends ; I think not in the next Wi

      Meanwhile , I pray that God would bless the men of rtfl Fixby—happy little Fixby !—and , by some means , fgfl shake them from the gripe of the accursed Conmii ^ S sioners ! i lll My course , in this letter , has been varied from what lH I thought and hinted .

      He rode a horse which wa 3 not used " to be hung at 19 the office door .
