" is the hands of WmiiS Cjibpesteb . —Last week the readers of the Star enjoyed a good hearty guffaw at the pictare «> f Mr . W . Carpenter , drawn and { tainted for them , by las "friend" and late " co-partner , " "J . 1 $ . O'B . ;" and we are sure they would deem its to have acted with gross unfairness were we to withhold " t ' other side , " or tlie picture which the painted one has painted of the painter . If they laughed hearfily at the first , they will not find less cause for a few cacliiiiutions in tlie si-cund . The two friends seem to fcioto each

      otherseem to be able to reduce their respective features and jfculiariiies to the canvas : and very pretty pictures they make ! You would not be able to match them , search all your National Galleries through , and your private exhibitions as well . Where could you hope to ii ;! . } tlieir like , for ease aud freedom ot drawing- ° And as for tefmr , tlie deepest lamp-black of a Sir Thomas Laurence was moonlight grey compared to tlie mixture ased by our artists . Then there is the " fillitig-iu" aud t 3 ie " general effect "—perfectly unmatched and unmatchable . Do look at them , remembering that they are of each oilier by " friends" and " co-partners . " Here is W . CVenon ; " the "subject" being "J . 1 $ . O'B .: " — " We had not seen the paper , and had we seen it , we should , in aU probability , not have read it . VTe have rta-. iii to believe that it contains little more than a

      repetition of the old saws upon' Laud , Currency , and Exchange , ' the meaning of which it would puzzle < E < lijiiis himself to discover . What O'B . way say against us , creates no anxiety ; where is tlie man who has served him—and many men have served himwhom he has not abused , after they have cast him off , tis they all have been obliged to do , some from one cause , some fioin another ? IDLENESS , ILL TE 3 I-1 * EK , and OVEK-EEACIUNG , are qualities that soon mate themselves manifest , and destroy auy sympathy one may have had , upon an imperfect knowledge , for the man in whom such qualities exist . IVe had no desire to speak upon this subject , and only thus advert to i ^ in consequence of its bein g forced upon us . If O'B . has said such ' things as jou allege , he knows them to be false , and

      llertia furnishes another proof 6 f his ingratitude totrards one who never did him harm , but trito sated Mm cr , d his , for many tcecks , from absolute starvation . But M that pass . We repeat , that what either he or O'C . may say , is to as a matter of perfect indifference . We can rifcr to apiiSKe carter of eighteen years , daring whicli no Man can point out auy deviation from , tlie stravjht line of prindjie . We never set ourselves upas fire-eaters , and are not , therefore , now liable to reproach because we do not play the part of one . We mere neeer noUy braggarts out of prison , SO & WHINING COWARDS WHEN is . We never bullied aud defied the Government , and incited i » eople , sniartiii £ underpoverty and other wrongs t «» aeis of violence and then deserted them , when , acting at our instigation , they foolishly exposed themselves tv legal punishment . Ou the contrary , we always

      sternly set our face against menacing and violence , and condemned the course of those who indulged in the one , aud excited people to the other . Instead of having boat mixed up with the men with whom it seems that O'B . has associated us , it is notorious , and stands recorded in the columns of the newspaper of the time , that we , upon several occasions , opady and formally trounced tlieiu , when O'B . aud O'C . meanly sneaked < -ei of the way , in order to avoid committing themselves whh either party . There was , at tlie time , a newspaper which li'B . was in the habit of eulogising as the most honest and talented paper of the movement—wc mean , tlie Trw Scotsman ; and that paper , in a lengthy article , thus spoke of the person whom the disappointed and mortified O'B . maligns , as having been at once ianpisticant and mischievous : — ' He is essentially one of the Hi-cctors of the Convention . Ife is one of the

      great minds which can calmly , and without passion , take u comprehensive view of the different conflicting interests and feelings called np in a great national courukiMii ; and he is most able , unmoved and quietly , to point the finger of guidance to all the vast machinery by which the changes are effected . * * # He is no pirtisan , and speaks his mind in a most independent manner . * * * His unassuming manners keep him a good deal ont of agbt in the Convention , but he is one of those men on . whom great dependence may t ? Md . When the storm comes , he will be a steady pilot . ' With such uubought testimony as this , and an

      -unswerving public career of eighteen years to refer to one is not very likely to be moved by anything tliat can lie uttered by such men as O'Connor or O'Brien . "—Of coitrs ? , every one who sees the above wiU liioul that Caqtf nicr has not sffinthe portrait of himself , painted by his "friend . " Thai fact stands out apparent iu every dab of the above . Let no one whisper to the contrary ; for if Mr . C . has just hit on the telling points without " seeing" them , it only bespeaks exceUent paivtrs of conception and comprehension—vsduable qualities in an ar tist . He knew all that his " friend ' b-id gathered concerning him , during tlieir eo-purlnei-*••!»• . and he therefore addressed himself to the subject

      lait : « well as if the picture he was cntieisuig had b <* n brfcre his eyes . Passing that , what are we to sa ? < -f "t ' other side V We honestly confess that we lard y dare to offer an opinion as to the manner in W . - , ich it is executed . The features in the portrait are so strongl y marked , that thev cannot escape observation . "ImrsEss , SUemper , and OVEK-KEACJIING "—3 » e have heard a "talc of a till , " in connection with the cj-partnershi p]— " Ingratitude , " " noisy braggart out « f pii ^ i » , wiu ^ i cowa j . ^ fteii . in ^ surely tlie r ^ m t'T must have drawn on imagination some little ? ± i" " pf " * «• O'B" cannot be as dark and unlovely as JO- C . rqircseuts him ! Leaving that to be settled twrwern them , however , let us just have a word or two <* the " certificate of character" which W . C . has fished ont of the True Satsman for himself . We are

      * v no means about to impugn its correctness . "We are not about to deny that he is "one of the GREAT - MIM >» which can calml y , and without passion take a -comprehensive view of the different conflicting interests Y ; . r ru SG 5 ca ! 2 c - "i ' * a « : BEAT NATIONAL CON-> ( . ¦! . * lON—and able , tmmotd and quietly , to point tlie ficjrwof GUIDANCE to aU the vast machinerv by which ««¦ r iwn » es are effected . " We by no means doubt the * rea ., £ tlle a | , representation of W . C * s . character au ~ TJalines : but we do doubt the prudence of his adducing that sort of " certificate" jast note . He warns to make it appear that he was not «!¦ -. i tW who "incited the people to aefs o ? Tidciirt : " and he adduces as proof of this position , a

It is notorious thai ti . ep . -ri » i which the wri ter cridwifly contemplated iu the extract , quot .-u so approvingly and so modestly by "William Carpenter—a i-criod which he deemed the said "William Carpenter to lie most eminently fitted for—did arrive . s ;« ite of the efforts of Mr .

      we do not intend to cull in question the GREAT MIND which could calmly * and unmovedly GUIDE the vast machinery of a sitioSAt . cosvvisws , we may be permitted to ask mhereOie PILOT teas tchen he teas wanted f ! Was he at the helm , guiding , " calmly and quietly , " the vessel through the storm ? Was the "dependence " had in him well placed ? Was lu- at his post ? Let him not continually whine out : " We never bullied and Drnn > tlie Government ; or incited people to acts of violence , and then deserted them , when , acting on our ' instigation , ' they foolishly exposed themselves to legal punishment . " Let him not do this ; for the contrary is the fact , as tec happen to ksow . The only opportunity that we had of attending the "debates" of the fatfamed Convention of which " our steady pilot" was ersentiallv one of the " Directors , " was on the occasion in

      llirmmgham , when w ilhain Lovett moved bis " moral force " resolution , pledging the people to refuse payment of iii , hints , rates , axd taxes— "because , " said lie , " it was necessary that the people should proclaim and make OPEN WAB on the Government !" which said "bullying" and "defying" resolution was strenuously supported by W . Carpenter in the teeth of Mr . O'Connor ' s efforts to save the people from being committed into the hands of the legal authorities by such a lawless and insane " act of violence . " 0 , well do we remember j // at day , and the "doings" and "sayings" of the respective parties in tlie convention . Unutterable disgust filled the mind at the shameless efforts of William Carpenter and company , to produce a national convulsion through " acts of violence , " embroiling the people with the

      authorities , and rendering them liable to le ? al punishment ; efforts only defeated by those who had been held up and ttaOHiiSt'if by these same " yuiders of the Machinery to effect change , " as inciters to " physical force : " a disgust not lessened ut hearing " J . B . O'B ., " fortwoniortalhours enumerate circumstanccsandfacts which pointed to the inevitable conclusion that both William Lovett aud William Carpenter weke is the r AT of TUE Government to get the " honest men " of the Convention into trouble and danger . This he did to Mr . O'Connor , at that gentleman ' s hotel ; and nsed every art and casuistry of which he is so rare a master , to induce Mr . O'Connor to denounce them as spies and traitors '—a tiling which " J . B . O'B . " did not venture to do himself openly . But of course it was true courage to try to get your "friend" into a position Which

      you dare not yourself assume a point which , at the time seemed to strike Mr . O'Connor ' s mind ; for he very significantly bid "J . 15 . O'B . " do his own work , if he wanted it done : for , for himself , while he had no proof that the parlies named were acting the part of traitors or spies , he should content himself with endeavouring to counteract and avert the evil consequences likely to arise from their violent and mad proceedings . William Carpenter is not entitled to say that " he always sternly set . his face against menace and violence , and condemned the course of those who indulged in the one mid excited to the other . " He did not always so act . He did not do so on the occasion we have referred to ; nor did he do so , when he was concerned with the drawing up and publishing of the Address from the Arundel Coffee-house ; a document

      whicH Mr . "J . B . O'lv ' says " ^ croALLT recommended lNscuiiECTios . " The " grea r susd " of " the essential Jihrtxtor of tlie Convention " had therefore Something to do in planning and endeavouring to bring about "NATIONAL CONVULSION "—in raising the storm which he tells us HE was so well able to "PILOT " through : and we think , seeing- that this \ ras the case , we are entitled to ask again where the PILOT teas when Vie storm did come 1 True it is , he was not at his post ! The cause of that absence we shall not speculate on . We shall not even offer an opinion as to whether Mr . "J . B . O'B . " has hit on it , when he says it was " corruptibility : " for wc are quite content to leave that question iu the hands pf the two parties to the discussion , noting down only the / acts they tell of each other . We expect tliat shortly there will be a pretty bu jget .

      We fancy that we hare not heard the last of IDLENE . 3 S , itIAeuipe , ; and OVEK-KEACHING . " A saint could not stand that ; much less a " thin-skinned " bundle ofSELV-isliness ! Jons Shaw , Tower Hamlets—The trick is too flimsy to deceive any one . The people are too wide-awake , eillier to be deceived by the miserable concoctions of Hill or Carpenter , whether signed " William WiSh-IMiay- ; jet- » t , " " An Independent English Chartist . " The object aimed at by these worthies will not be attained . The means they have employed will alone ensure their defeat . It is too late iu the day to bring to bear the f = ars aud suspicions of the working class against those who hace served them—and that too without fee or reward . They have learned to discriminate—to know their friends from those who make

      loud pretensions , ihe result will prove that they will repose confidence in the first , and laugh the latter out of the field . Meantime , we are about to let the people know something of the two worthies that interest themselves so much in their welfare . James Hill did live at Wisbeach ; he was a public man there ; he had dealings with a public society ; he tried some scheme or other "for National llegencration" in his own way , and on his own account ; he failed ; he went into the bankrupt list ; and now he is abroad on the world , compelled to " pick up a living" as he best can . We shall try to get the material to fill in this general outline , that i ames Hill" may be known of men . " As for Win . Carpenter , he has appealed to the eighteen years o his pubUcUfe . We purpose going through them

      ttitfchba . We intend to "begin at the beginning , " and follow him dosciy down . We intend to know all about his various whereabouts , and his different and PECULIAR aud very contradictory , occupations , from writer of religious works down to the keeper of a No matter what just now . We intend to know all about his connection with the Trades' Unions , and a press bought with their money : in short , we intend to trace him through all the tortuous windings and twistings of the eighteen years he has appealed to , that w « may know Jura , too as he really is , and be able to judge of liisjifHWJto give advice to anybody en anything .

      Land Allotments and Spade Husrasdrv . —We havo received the following from Mr . Doyle : —Sir , —As any information which can be given at the present time upon the small allotment system , and the capabilities of the land to produce an abundance of food by spade cultivation as contrasted with the plough , even with small farms , but more especially with large ones , may be of importance to the working classes , who are gcneraUy readers of your democratic journal , I submit a copy of alt-iter which , 1 have just received from Mr . Thomas Croft , of Dodsworth , near Barnsley , hoping that you will oblige me by giving it insertion in the Star ot Saturday next . Christopher Doyle . —Dodsworth , near Barnsley , June 3 Uth , 1815 . —Dear sir , —Mr . Wheeler sent us word to look out and send every information in our power respecting some allotments

      we have going on in onr neighbourhood . I will state to you what we know on thesubject . The ownerof the land is John Spencer Stanhope , Esq ., a magistrate , living at Cannon Hall , near Cawthorne , two miles from where we reside . He had a farm , which the farmers one after another left , because they could not make it do . He ( tlie landlord ) let it outin allotments , to poor men , of from a quarter of an acre to two acres each , about two years ago . A few friends accompanied me to see it , and such crops of wheat , beans , and potatoes we never saw before , considering thedisadvantages the poor men laboured under when they first took the land . The allotments arc cultivated by the spade , with the exception of one , which has been ploughed , but this one is like " a horse-chesnnt to a chesuut horse . " The owner has let six acres more this year at a rental of

      £ 2 5 s . an acre , and had them wcU drained , and I assure you the land looks far better than any one could have reasonably expected , taking into account its previous state and appearance , nuditi * confidently expected that the crop will yield eighteen loads of wheat , at three bushels to the load , which will be fifty-four bushels , or six quarters and six bushels . Near the sameplacc there is nearly an acre of garden allotments , which look very well . One old man who has < ra allotment , upon which wheat and other food is growing , told us before he had it he worked on the road for a shilling per day , bat since begot possession of the bitofland he gavenp the job , as he could do well without it . He further said that two acres of land , properly cultivated , would maintain himself aud family ( he has a cow ) , and declared he was happv and comfortable . All the men upon

      those allotments appeared to be well pleased with their condition , and Mr . Stanhope , I am informed , intends letting six acres more next year . You and the Board of Directors may make what use you thiuk proper of this letter , and I remain , yours truly , a Land Chartist and Sub-Secretary , Taos . Caorx . To Correspondents . — We frequently receive letters having the seals broken . It is not for us to say whether they have been subjected to the process of Grahamlsation , or not . We merely wish our correspondents to see all is right ere they post their favours . Mr . Ainsworth , Bolton . —His ' Stars w ere sent by the Saturday morning's mail . An accident to the machine unavoidably prevented us from posting tliem , ag usual , for the Iiiday night ' s mail . Other agents whose complaints we have received , must accept the above

      apology . Some of our agents are in the habit of conuecting tlieir orders with articles of news sent for insertion , and directing them to Mr . Hobson , or Mr . Harney , at the office in Great Windmill-street , who , from the mass of communications they daily receive , may easily overlook that portion relativg to the business of our publisher , until too late for post . In such case the fault is with the agents in not attending to our request , namely , to send all orders to 310 , Strand . — Those agents who have not settled their accounts , wilt not receive their papers ftfter this week . C . L ., Vale of Leves . —We respectfully acknowledge the song , which , though not suitable for publication , is honourable to the writer for the sentiments therein vindicated . -

      Maxslacgiiieii seab Liscolx . —The fluiet village of Skellingthorp , three miles from Lincoln , has been disturbed by an act of outrage , in which one man has lost his life by the violence of another . It appears that on Tuesday week a quaircl ensued between two men in the service of Mr . Ilealand , lanncr , oi that village . "William Graham , more common !/ called Grimes , a labouring man , complained that this waggoner , "William Parkes , had been saying something prejudicial to his character . Grimes endeavoured to force his way into the stable , which was resisted by Parkes , who struck Grimes with his fist ; urimes seizeu

      men up a noe , ana witfi it strucK Parkes on the head , levelling" him to the ground ; Grimes walked away , leaving bis opponent senseless on the stable floor . More than an hour afterwards lie was found Jyio" in the stable m a state of insensibility ; he was taken into the house , and Mr . Hewson , surgeon , of Lincoln , was sent for , who found that Parkes ' s scull was fractured ; that gentleman was at once aware the case was hopeless , and directed Grimes to be taken into custody . Parkes lingered until Thursday evening , and then expired . During periods of scnsibilitvbs stated to Mr . Zealand , his master , that he had strack the first blow . Grimes , who had been committed to Lincoln Castile for safe custodv , was on Friday brought before Mr . John

      Bromhead , the sitting magistrate , at the- Judges ' house , Lincoln , and therejiu his defence , he-declared that he was not aware whea he struck Parkes jn selfdefence , that he had inflicted so severe an injury ; he thought it had only been- the shaft of the hat that had " napped" him , " and he was not aware tKat he was senseless when he left him . After the case had been iurestigatcd , the magistrate could come to no other conclusion than that of at once recommittSag the prisoner to the Castle , to take his trial on like charge of " wilful murder" at the approaching assizes . An inquest had also been summoned to lie held at tjfeillingthorp , the resufo of which had not transpired . MiJistiuoifiBR . —An adjournedfefjuest was held om Monday , by Sir . AYaklcy , M . P ., aS the Royal Free Hospital , Gray s « inn-road , on the body of George Chalk , aged thirteen , the son of © liarles Chalk , a

      brickmaker , who was alleged to liftTc caused his death by violence . From the evidence of a female named Sparkea , it appeared that on the Gth day ol last month she was in some brick fields at Kentish Town , when she saw the deceased ' s fatliar strike him with his doubled fist upon the right shoulder , and knock him down ; while on the ground she also saw him kick and jump upon him . On tlieSSwl he died , aud on & post-mortem examination a large abscess was found on the right side of the stomach , which Mr . Cooke said was th e result of blows . The accused denied kicking and jumping on deceased , bu & admitted striking him on his- refusing to fetch some sand . After a patient investigation the jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Charles" Chalk , the father , who was fully committed to Ncwgats-onthc coroner ' s warrant .

      IKOKSlous Tobacco Smcoguxg . —On MoBtSay a seizure of cadis , -which contained 2001 bs . of cigars aud cheroots , was made on board a vessel at Brewer ' s Quay , Lower Thames-street , by an officer named Kirgeman . Thevcsselhadjustarrivedfroni Holland with a cargo of butter , cheese , and other goods , and seven beer casks , which were directed to " Brewer's Wharf , to he left till called for , " and were about to- be landed as empty casks , in the usual manner , when the reremie officer , Kirgeman , took off the head ol one of the casks , and it appeared at the first glance to be quite empty , but on a closer inspection he found the barrel was lined with a tin case of the same shape

      as the barrel , and between that and the barrel itself the cigars and cheroots were concealed . He then opened the other ban-els , and found them lined with tin in the same manner , and a similar quantity oi cigars and cheroots in each . He seized the casks and their contents , and rolled them to the Queen ' s warehouse , at the same time giving information to the Board of Customs , who ordered the vessel to be put under seizure also for the present . Each , barrel contained about 3011 s . of cigars and cheroots . ¦ They are of the best quality , and the duty upon them alone is £ 90 . Of course no person has come forward to own the casks or their contents .

      Shocking Cask of SEw-DE 8 TjirjcTiox .--Last week a novel actof suicide occurred on the North Midland Railway , near Leeds . As the seven o'clock Sowcrby Bridge train approached the bridge over the railway st Hunslet , the stoker observed a man throw himsell down across the rails , and before he had time to give notice of the circumstance to the engine-driver , the whole train had passed over the poor fellow ' s body , which was afterwards picked up m a dreadfully mutilated state , and identified as that of John Sutclifl ' e , warehouseman , a married man residing at North Town-end , Leeds . The head , the right leg , and the left arm were entirely severed from the rest of the body . The train was proceeding at the regular speed at the time . It is supposed that the man , contemplating suicide , had cot over the wall of tho bridge , and having descended the railway embankment , had

      hid himself behind an abutment , in order that he might not be seen until it was too late to stop the train . This seems very probable from the fact , that had he been on the line any length of time he would have been seen at tho spot whore the melancholy occurrence took place 200 or 300 yards off , in ample time for the engine to have been stopped . The event can scarcely be considered the result of an accident , as no one can go on this part of the line without committing a trespass . Ileceased has left a wife and seven children .

      colonel , who was shot with Torrijos and some others at Malaga . At half-past ten o ' clock he calculated that he had hut s short time to Jive , { and from that moment his courage failed him .

      Calcutta . — -Burxino op tor Ship Virginia . — Accounts reached town this morning of the total destruction by fire of the American ship Virginia , at about ten a . m . of the 5 th inst ., about twenty-five or thirty milos to the southward of the outer floating light . All hands were saved excepting the supercargo . She ivas homeward bound . —Calcutta Star , May j . We have received some particulars of the loss of the unfortunate ship Virginia , which was outward bound it seems . The lire was first discovered by the man at the wheel , who observed smoke issuing from « i small hatchway under his feet . They had barely time to get the boat out , and just as they touched the water the decks burst open , and the flames rusliing up , compelled all hands to leap overboard . In less than twenty minutes from the tirst discovery of the fire , the form of the hull was no longer discernible . Nothing was to be seen to indicate where she was , but one burning mass . The unfortunate supercargo . Mr . Lander , who had his

      lifepreserver 011 , and was a capital swimmer besides , was seen with uplifted hands on the bows , from whence ho leaped into the sea . He was taken into one of the boats , but suddenlyjurapcd out of her and swam directly towards the blazing vessel . He disappeared , and " was seen no more . He was in bad health , and it is supposed _ that the dreadful catastrophe had brought on delirium . He waa the only person lost , but tucrcst had U . vcly time to escape , in such confusion , that they saied nothing but their lives , if wc except chronometirs and compasses , as wc stated yesterday . The lire is supposed to have originated in the lower hold , but how we do not clearly understand . All wc know is , that the cargo was composed of saltpetre and linseed . It is believed that the ship must have Veen on fire two or three weeks , as she must have been a mere shell to have disappeared so suddenly . Sl . e was a fine vessel , about three years old , and the hu . l and cargo together aro valued at 130 , 000 rupees . —Hwrkwrn , May 9 .

      Singular Death from a Leech . —On Wednesday a man named James Vials , aged twenty-five years , died in Guy ' s Hospital , under the following singular circumstances ;—Last Wednesday week the deceased , who was a groom to a gentleman residing at Harwich , was engaged in dressing a horse , when the animal severely kicked him on the right arm . Medical assistance was procured , and leeches wore ordered , four of which were applied to the wound . In a short time three only of them could be seen , but it was supposed that the fourth had fallen off , and had got away . The deceased was the following day conveyed to the hospital . The wound and arm soon began to swell ill a

      most unaccountable manner , when Mr . Forster , the house surgeon , observed there was a slight discharge of matter oozing from the orifice . He deemed it prudent , in consequence , to open the arm , when , to his great surprise , he found the missing leech inclosed in the Hesh , and quite dead . The leech must have crawled into the orifice of a very small wound in the arm , and it could not be seen . After the leech had been extracted from the arm , deceased went on verywell for a week , when symptoms of inflammation of the veins ensued , which terminated with death . It is the opinion of the medical attendant that he has died from the effects of the wound having been poisoned by the long presence of tlie leech within it .

Fortunately the carriage was not crowded , which enabled the passengers to cscaoc to the empty ,-end ol it , and save themselves from the flames * . Indeed , according to our information , tho female portion of tho passengers , some of whom had youag children with them , had no small difficulty in keeping clear of the burning fragments of tho lady ' s dress ,, which were whirled round by the action of the wind .
