      VOUJSTAUT RELIEF . Although the number of persons emp loyed eaitfte public works are grea tly increased smc * tUe ^ return published four or five weeks once , and although drainint and other productive works a « beginning to afford a new and far better ^ rc-e of etuployment , still tae destitution has so m & dly extended , and the demands for more emp loyment are to urgent , that the Commissioners of the Board of Works find it exceedingly difficult—n » 5 . impossible—to draw r ff the labourers from the road-work . Some of the public works had been stepped in the hope that the labourers might be absorbed upon the adjoining estates in thorough drainage or geieral farming work ; but tbe Commissioners were constrained to resume a portion of those works , or commence new ones , as the only alternative to preserve the destitute labour-« rs from j-tavvat ' en . And even still meetings are held , urgently demanding an extension of public works .

      In the east hajf barony of Innishowen , Clonmany , and Donagh , county Donegal , the relief committee assembled some days since and forwarded a memorial t * the Lord-Lieutenant , complnininc of delay on the tart nf the Board of Works , and declaring that" if a speedy remedy be not afforded , we shall shortly see the frightful scenes which famine and pestilence are producing in the south of the kingdom , for already fever aud dysentery are beginning to prevail . " In reply to this memorial , Mr . Redington , the undersecretary , states that the Lord-Lieutenant has * ' called the particular attention , of the- commission ers to the state of the district . "

      The Flores Expedition. The Thames Police...

      THE FLORES EXPEDITION . The Thames police-court was on Tuesday the theatre of one of the most exciting scenes which has everb ? en enacted in it since the memorable caseo Captain Johnstone . Colonel Richard Wright , Consul-general for the state of the Equadore , and alleged to be the head of an expedition which was said to be lately fitting out from this eount'y for South America , was charged , at the instance of Inspector Evans of the Thames police , with a violation of the 2 nd section of the Foreign Enlisrm ^ nt Act , 59 th of George III ., cap . 69 .

The first witness called was Mr . Harvey Garnett Fhipps Tuckett . He described himself as having been some time since a captain in the llth Hussars . He had retired from that service , and about tie month of October last , hearing of an intended expedition to theEquadore . hecalled upon Colonel Wright , to whom he handed a letter , which that gentleman having read , he asked witness whether he was desirous of joining in the enterprise ? To which he : Tuckett , replied that i t wouldall depend upon the rank which was offered him : to which the defendant

Witness observed that was very e .-nslL bnt the Colonel told him that at Quito all the articles of consumption were txceedingly cheap , an i that a few shillings wonld be sufficient to provide for a large family . Witness asked what part of South America it was intended to proceed to ; to which the defennaut replied—to the Equador . Witness asked if there was to be any advance ; to which Colonel Wright replied there would be an advance of two months . Witness observed that that was too 1-ttle to defray preliminary ex lenses . Colonel w ri ht replied that that was the cum appropriated for the put pose bv the commissioners .

      Mr . Yardley : What did you understand by the commissioners ?—Witness : I understood him to refer to some Spanish commission which had charge of the affair . Mr . Yardley : Under what government did ynu suppose yeu were to act ?—Witness : I understood under the Spanish , and not under the English government . Olonel Wright told me that 1 should like General Fiores very much ; that he { the general ) had been in a hundred actions , in all of which be had proved victorious , I asked the natuie of the command I should have , when the colonel to d me that 1 , 200 men had been raised in Ireland , and that they should be under my commands , as 1 was t ! . e only * person holding the rank of lieutenant-( 0 one ; goin out upon the expedition . . »! r . Yardley : iioyou know General Fiores ? Witness : 1 understand he is by birth a Venezeulan . and ex-president , of the Equador .

Potbury : I inquired as to the uniform , and Coionel Wrkhttuld me it was to be similar to the English Lisht Infantry uniform , with bright yellow facing , wliieii was the Spanish national Colour , cjcked hats , and plumes , aud epaulettes of n Spanish fashion . At a later peiiod Colonel Wright directed me to go to Mr . Gumey , a tailor in St James ' s-street , who had buttons cast purposely for the service . 1 procured s .: me , and found they had the word Equador marked upon them , together with the marks G . D 4 1 ' cea . Here one of the buttons was handed in by Mr . Potbury , upon which tbe magistrate asked the witness what he understood those marks to mean ? Witness : 1 understood tkem to be the title of the troop I was to command , viz ., "The President ' s Guard . "

      On theSOih of October 1 spoke to Colonel Wright as . t «* . he aivanee which was to be mat e , aud on the next day be gave me a cheque lor £ 50 , being two rjuntlis and a haTs pay winch was cashed at the hjise of Giyn , HaliifAX , and Co ., after a little h « . si atiun . Witness then proceeded to procure an outfit . Mr . Yardley : Was anything said about arms or equipments?—Yes , we talked on the subject several times , atid Colonel Wright said that an order had been sent out of rockets , -56 pounders , and 40 , 000 stand of arras . The witness then proceeded to state thai ; to avoid all military appearances the men were ranked under the following heads : —Overseers foremen , labour *!* , and youths . The overseers were to receive each £ 1 bounty on enuring , die foremen 17 a . G-, the labourers 15 a ., and the youths 10 s . Gd .

      wii .-it were his further orders ? He replied , we were perfectly free Vt co where we pleaded , as he fiad no I ' . irtUer occasion for our services . I replied that the « facers Were without money , had been put to great « x , iuiise in the pu-. chake of uniforms , and that it wtiuhi ba most unjust to dismiss them witfwut some pr . iv . swn . 1 suggexted that he had better give me £ J 0 ro . »; tlieai , iuiiti ! lie could consider the question of luriHer comp ; nFati-jii .

      Monday. Mj».Rlborough Street.—Bbdtal Asb...

      MONDAY . MJ » . RLBOROUGH STREET . —Bbdtal Asbadit bta Hu- / i » nd . — Harry Thomas , music publisher , No . 29 , Rat ' nbone-place , was summonsd before Mr . Hard wick for ha-ring-b « at « n and otherwise ill-treated his wife , Julia TJjomai . The ceroplainant , a young woman of mild Planners and prepotsesMQg appearance , with a trernen-• dous black eye , stated that the continued ill-usage she received at the hands of her husband , had at last induced her to seek for a separation . As the readiest tneav . * ot effecting this object , she had , at the suggestion of h < r friends , taken outan assault warrant against her husband , although she had b » wish to punish him for the personal injuries he had inflicted on her . She had three children , the eldestsix years of age , the youngest a

      year and nine months . It was her wish to have an allowance from her husband in order to assist ia keeping the children , which she earnestly desired to have charge of . Mr . Hardwick asked the husband , a young man , whether he would listen to the proposal of his wife ! Husband—I ' m come here to answer a charge of assault . Mr . Hardwick—Who gave your wife that black ays ! Husband ( iu a surly tone)—Why , I did . Mr . Hardwick —What for ? Husband—Oh , I could say if I chose , but I don ' t choose . Wife—I do not make any complaint against mj husband for the assault . Blows from him kave been too customary for me to think anything further of them than the disgraceful marks they leave . If blows were all I had to complain of I should never have appeared in this Court . It is his shocking language to

      me that wounds me far mora deeply . It may be presumption in me to say it , but I have been a good wife to him and a good mother to his children . L * t him , if he can , say one word against me . Mr Hardwick—You hear what your wife says . Do you mean to let her hava the children and to make her a reasonable allowance for theirsupport * Husbtnd—I come her about an assault , and don't intend to say anything about what I mean to do with tbe children , except not to let my wife have them . lam able to maintain them . Wife—If my bus . band will only let me have my children I will take them without any allowance at all , I have worked before and I can work again to keep my children . Husband—I sha ' ntgive up the children . You may go away if you like , hut you shall not have the children . I shall put

      them out to nurse somewhere . Wife—I hope your worship will order my children to be given up to me , for ( bursting into tears ) , who can take care of them or look after them like a mother . Mr . Hardwick—Your wife wishes to part from you on account of your continutd illtreatment . She is justified in refusing to live with you on those grounds . If , therefore , you do not come to some terms with her , I shall certainly put the law in force . Husband--Oh , I know all about that . I ' m prepared for anything the law can do . It can't maka me give mp my children . Mr . Hardwick—But the law can compel you to restrain your brutal temptr ; and I will take care that its power is exercised . Look at that young woman ' s face , and say whether the unmanly brutality you have exercised on her can admit of excuse . Ifyoudonotgiveupthe children and make terms with your wife , I will fine you as far as the law will allow for the assault . Husband—I slia ' nt give up the children .

      Mr . Hardwick—At all events , the youngest being an infant must not be separated from the wife , I fine you £ 5 , or two months imprisonment for the assault , and if , after yau come out of prison , you do not support your wife and child , upon an application from the parish , I will send you again to prison . Tha husband was then removed , and a few minutes afterwards the wife came into Court , and implored , in the most earnest manner , tbe magistrate to release her husband . Rather than see him sent to prison , she would consent to him keeping all tbe children . Mr . Hardwick said the wife was treating her husband too well . He could not , however , allow her , from feelings of misplaced affection , to overlook the general misconduct of her husband . He was determined that such a man should not entirely escape from justice . The wife was too good for bim , and that was the fact . The husband ' s brother consented to enter into an arrangement satisfactory to the wife . The husband was then released on paying a trifling fine .

      WORSHIP STREET . —F * icis in ah Omnibus . —Mr . Richard King , a merchant , residing iu Warren street , Fiztroy-square , was charged before Mr . Brougbton with having committed a violent and unprovoked assault upon Mr . Jabez Woods , an engineer In Buckknnurj . The complainant , a member of the Society of Friends , affirmed that at nine o'clock on the preceding evening he got into an omnibus at Stoke Newington , where he had been dining with a party of friends , and shortly afterwards the defendant and a lady entered the vehicle , and seated themselves directly in front of him . In order to sit more commodioudy , as the omaibus was crowded with passengers , he found it necessary to stretch out his legs , at which the defendant expressed his dissatisfaction , and desired him to remove them . Witness insisted upon his

      right to retain them in that position , and the defendant thereupon seized hold of one of his legs , and violently thrust it aside . Feeling indignant at such treatment , witness raised his foot aud kicked the defendant , upon which the latter instantly struck him a violent blow upon the temple with an umbrella , and caused a severe wound from which the blood flowed in such profusion as to saturate his dress . One of the passengers immediately wrested the umbrella from the defendant , and on reaching the turnpike where the vehicle stopped , he was given into custody . The complainant exhibited his handkerchief and various articles of dress he had worn upon the occasion , all of which were stained with blood . Mr . R . Messer , a gentlemen residing in Tbrogmorton Street , and a master builder named Binning , fully corroborated the

      complainant ' s evidence , and stated that they observed uotMng whatever in the conduct or demeanour of the > atter to justify such an attack on the part of the defendant , who acted quite spontaneously , aad without any complaint having been made by the lady in his company that she was subjected to annoyanc * or inconvenience . In answer to the charge , the defendant said , that after taking his seat in the omnibus , his attention was first attracted to the improper conduct of the complainant by an uneasy feeling , exhibited by his wife , who was sitting next to him , and who at length told him that the complainant was insulting her by stretching out his legs , and pressing her knees in a most offensive manner . Hy accordingly put down his band , and finding the complainant's legs in a position his wife had described , requested him to remove them , but he refuted to do so , and

      he was therefore himself compelled to force them aside . The instant he had done so , however , the complainant raued bis feet and dealt him a violent kick in the sto . mach ; he certainly struck him with his umbrella , and considered himself perfectly justified in resorting to such a course of retaliation . Mr . Broughton said he had no doubt that the defendant had acted under the erroneous impression that his wife had been insulted in tho manner described , but if be felt himself aggrieved his proper course was to remove the lady and appeal to the conductor , instead of taking the law into his own hands in ths unwarrantable manner he had done . The assault had been clearly established , and he should order him to p « y a penalty of 60 s ., or in default be committed for one month to the House of Correction . The fine was immediately paid and the defendantliberated .

      THAMES . —RoBBEBt . —A well-dressed man , named Peter Raitt , about 40 years of age who was formerly mate of a ship , was charged with stealing a £ 20 Bank of England note belonging to Henry Lloyd , a seaman . The prosecutor is a native of Aberdeee , where he had formerly known the prisoner . Ou Thursday afternoon Lloyd and six other mariners , who had been discharged at Whitehaven from the ship Acasto , which had made a successful guuno voyage , arrived in Loudon by the railway , and proceeded to the Aberdeen steam wharf for the purpose of engaging a passage to Scotland in the City of London steam-ship , which was to sail on Satur . day . Lloyd met his countryman Raitt on the wharf , aud the recognition was ajoyful one on both sides . The prosecutor asktd Raitt if he could recommend bim and his

      fliiptnaUe to a lodging for a couple of lights uutil the steamer sailed ! The prisoners assured the sailors he would take them to a safe harbour , where thoy would have a snug berth and good treatment , and accompanied them all to a lodging-house , No . 2 , Smith ' s . court , Wdpping . Soon after the men were housed , the prisoner askad Liojd if he had got any money , and advised him to be very careful , as there were plenty of land-sharks about . Lloyd said he had a £ 20 note which he had received of his captain , and the prisoner advised him to deliver it into his charge uutil tbe steamer sailed . Lloyd accordingly handed the note to the prisoner , who locked it up in his presence . On Saturday morning Lloyd as-ked the prisoner for bis note . Raitt unlocked the box and feigned the greatest astonishment on

      finding it empty , He said the note was gone ; that he bad been robbed of it ; and that Lloyd must put up with the loss . The prosecutor , however , would not do so quietly , and gave the prisoner into the custody of a Thamespolice constable . That officer gave a bad account of the prisoner ; said he had been leading u dissipated life , and cohabiting with a woman of loose character at a house in Smith ' s-place , opposite the one where the sail-• rs had been lodging . Mr . Yardley asked the prisoner what he had done with the £ 20 note ? The prisoner suid , he left the note in a box on his mantelshelf , and it it w « s stolen during his absence from home . —Mr . Yardley : I don't believe a werd you say . Will you give up the note !—The Priionw : I cannot do » o . I bavu ntt got it , —Mr . Yardley : I believe you have

      appropriated tha note to your own use ; and if it is not r « - stored I have the power of punishing you severely . The prisoner having Persisted that h » could , give no information about the note , Mr . Yardley said , he should enforce the provisions of a very useful act of Parliament , the 8 th and ytu Victoria , cap . , —being , "An Aetfor the Protection of Seamen entering on board Merchant ships ; " and make au order on the prisoner to restere tbe , £ 20 note he had illegally detained , and , in default of doing so before the court closed , to pay in addition a penalty << f £ 10 . The prisoner refused to comply with the order , and Mr . Yardley , after stating that the case was s very bad one , sentenced the prisoner to be itnpri . soned for six calendar months , aud be kept to bard labour , which was tbe maximum punishment awarded by the act .

      TUESDAY . CLERKENWEL ' . — Distress . —A poor widow with thre * children , one a boy 10 years old , a , girl 6 , and an infant in a sickly state in her arms , entered the Ceurt and applied to Mr .

      ing no means of subsistence * he resolved ou tramping with ber children to her native placet She had applied to a parish fw assistance , but they refused h « r , and tbe wai advised to make this appeal to hi * worship . The poor creatures were quite exhausted , with scarce any covering , and had evidently undergone great fatigue and want . The woman was closely questioned , and she answered in a manner that gave tbe face of probabillty and truth to her story . Mr . Combe ordered that the family should receive every immediate asilit * ance aud comfort through the poor box , and that they should be provided for until the case might be properly investigated , for which purpose they were placed uader the dirtcuon of Mr . Duke , tbe Chief Usher of the Court . They appeared grateful for the kindness shown towards them , and they were instantly supplied with food , clothing and lodging .

      MARLBORODGH-STREET . — Dabinq Robbebt . — William Cooper , who described himself as a clerk iu the service of a tradesman in Mile-end , was charged with the following daring robbery . Miss Ann Burnell , of No . 8 , Hartland-terrace , said she was crossing from Foley , place on Saturday afttrnoon last , when the prisoner suddenly came in front of her , snatched a parcel out of her hand , and ran off . She pursued and called " stop thief , " and , ins short time , the prisoner was stopped . Tbe parcel contained some cloth of little value . She was positive that the prisoner was the person who snatched the parcel from her hand . A piece of brown

      paper was found in the prisoner ' s pocket immediately after he was apprehended , witness , to the best of her be . lief , declared to be the paper in which the cloth was wrapped . The prisoner , who treated the whole affair with perfect indifference , said he should defer his defence . He was committed . One of the witnesses , White , applied to Mr . Long for protection against the friends and relatives of the prisoner . While in Court , the parties had conducted themselves iu a menacing manner towards him , and anticipated further anuoyonce from then Mrf Long said , if any one molested him , to come te the Court , and be would take care that any ene so misconducting himself should be properly puuished .

      MARYLEBONE . — The Niw Twopenm Omnibus Coh . vetance . —Richard Prior , Thomas Hobbs , and Jame < Clarke , drivers oi omnibuses belonging to the Metropolitan Joint Stock Conveyance Company , and whose carriages convey passengers for the au . all charge of 2 d . from the Star and Garter , Edgeware-road , to Hungerford Market , a distance of two miles and a half , appeared before Mr . Rawlintou upon summonses obtained by Inspector Hunt , of tbe D division , charging thtm with having stopped in certain thoroughfares , via : —The Edgeware-ioad , for a longer period than was accessary for loaning or unloading , or for taking up or setting down passengers . Police constable 95 D , gave evidenee in support of the several complainants , and two of the defendaus were fitted 5 s . each . The summons against the third party was dismissed . Mr , Crawford , tbe

      manager of the Company ' s vehicles , complained tbat the pwlice did not act impartially , inasmuch as summonsse were coutinually issued against the new company , whilst the proprietors of the original 6 d . omnibuses were left unmolested by the Poliee , although they were daily acting in opposition to the law to a much greater extent than their less favoured rivals were , The fines inflicted were immediately paid , and after the case was thus finally deposed of . Mr . Grawford re-entered the Court , and was about to set forth to Mr . Rawlinson the shameful and unjust means resorted to by thi .- old company , with the view of putting down the low priced vehicles , when he was told by the magistrate that the cases brought be . fore him had beeu disposed of , and that he was of course at liberty to indict any parties for a conspiracy if be thought proper .

      GUILDHALL . — False Accusation . — Mr . Richard Thomas Tubbs attended to answer the complaint of Sarah Marks , his nursery maid , for indecently assaulting her on the 16 th and 17 th ultimo . Mr . Wontner appeared on behalf of the prosecutrix , aud Mr . Humphreys for the defendant , a warehouseman in Wood-street . Cheapside . Mr , Wontuer guvean outline of the ease , which , he said , did not warrant bim in preferring a charge of rape , but established au assanlt on one day , and on the other an assault with intent to violate ' . She mentioned the matter to her fellow-servant the next day and te her mother on the 26 tb , the first time she saw her . Her father immediately took her away , bad the girl examined by a surgeon on tbe following Monday , and preferred this charge on the next day . Sarah Marks

      stated tbat she is over 14 years , and had been in the ser . vice of Mrs . Tubbs , as nursery maid , five weeks . Her master had three children , the youngest being still iu arms . On the 16 th hermastercame into the nursery at ten o'clock at night to see if the children were in bed , and finding her standing in her night clothes , he lifted her into bed , and put his hand up her clothes . She told him that was very improper . On the next day he came into the nursery at dinner time to wash his hands . He then threw her on the bed and effected his purpose . He told her if she made any noise she would loose her place . Two of the children were playing in the passage , and running in and out of the room , and the room door was ajur . The child was in her arms , when be put her iu the bed . She laid it by her side and tried to get away . Mr .

      Humphreys cross-examined the witness at great length but quietly , so as not to perplex her . She said she bad not received notice to quit , nor had her master and mistress been continually finding fault nith her . Her mistress found fault with her one day . > o not recollect what it was for . It was for not putting clean drawers on the children . She once brought wrong change from the public-house , and her mistress found fault with her : Those were ths only occasions on which she found fault with her . Sherememberedauotherdieagreement about 1 ( M . change . Her mistress said she could not tell what witness had done with it , There was another occasion about Sd . wrong in change for some potatoes . Her mistress came home and told her about it . Her master und mistress had frequently complained of her being

      dirty . Did not hear her master insist upeu her getting rid of her . Heard her mistress tell tier brother , ou the 15 th , that if she did not alter she must send her away . On the 16 th her mistress was out all day . Her mistress ' s father occupies two rooms on the same floor with the nursery , and her master sleeps in another room , but her mistress was down stairs in tbe parlour on the night of tbe 16 th . She supposed her mistress's father was in his rooms . He was in his rooms the next day when her master assaulted her . Further evidence was adduced to prove tbe shuffling and fencing way iu which tbe charge had been got up , after which Mr . Hunter of Milnerrquare , Ulington , surgeon , said he examined the girl on the 23 th December . There were then no symptoms of violence , nor means of determining whether any intimacy had taken place or « ot . What was regarded

      as a test had no existence in some cases . Mr . Humphreys addressed the magistrate at considerable length , contending that the motive which prompted the girl to make the charge was the fear of being dismissed and sent home , her father being out of work ; and she therefore framed an excuse for leaving without blame ou her part . He dwelt upon her prevarication , and the im . probability that a man would behave in the way alleged while his children were playing in the passage , aud running in and out of the room . He fortunately had witnesses to show that his client did not dine at home ou tbe 17 th . Mr . Alderman Hughes Hughe ' s said he would save bim the trouble . The charge was totally unsupported by the evidence of tbe surgeon , und the girls statement em . braced such extreme improbabilities , aud she had prevaricated so much , that he could uot trust to her evidence . He must dismiss the charge .

      WEDNESDAY . GUILDHALL . — Suicide Prevented bt a Wohan . — An old man , 70 years ot ' age , named Edward Stuart , was charged with haviug attempted to threw himself off Blackfriars Bridge , with the intention of destroying his life . The poor man appeared to be halt imbecile , half blind , and in great distress . Harriet Mars , stated that about four o ' clock the previous afternoon , while passing over Blackfriars Bridge , she observed tbe prisoner sitting with one leg over the parapet , to all appearance engaged in prayer . Presently she saw him put the other leg over , and he was in the act of throwing himself off , when the rushed forward , and catching hold of him , detained him until two gentlemen came to her assistance , and got him over on to the pathway , after which he was given into custody .

      smashing « poUcemoB ' s head . !* with brick-bats beside , dreadfully injuring several others . It appeared from th » evidence tbat ou Sunday evening ont of the pruoner * companions named Witty ( who has since btsn tran . sported for seven years ) stole a quantity of cigars from a shop in Gravel lane , Southwark . He was taken into custody a short time after the robbery In the Red House publichouse , when he was rescued by tbe prisoners and bis associates . After Witty was rescued , a mob of two or three hundred persons surrounded the police mostly thisves and bad character ! , and commenced , throwing brick-bats and stones at them . Richards , 4 * M , perceiving Muir throwing a brick-bat , and knowing him to be one who rescued tbe other prisoner , caught hold of him . whan he was kicked by several persons

      behind , and was struck in the forehead with a brick-bat , which rendered him insensible . He was carried In thijt state to Guy ' s Hospital , when it was ascertained that his left eye " was cut , » nd tbat a portion of the bone abov » had been forced In . So frightful was the weund that bis eyesight was despaired of , and he was ordered to remain in the hospital , Polloftwnitable 13 * M wa « struck ulth a brick-bat on the head while assisting tbe last witness . He also received several kicks en the lower part of the body , rendering him incapable of performing his duty . Poliee sergeant 7 M said that wheu he was informed of the riot he proceeded to Aravel-lant and found upwards of 200 persons surrounding the constables . As soon as he arrived they attacked bim , and while he bad Muir in custody a brick-bat struck the latter ( evidently intended for him ) , and rendered him insensible .

Sullivan threw a large one at Richards , who instantly dropped down like a dead man . He saw the prisoners and the others who escaped thro » stones and kick the police . In answer to the charge the prisoners said they knew that Witty was not guilty of the offencethey charged him with , and that was the mem they rescued him . They did not deny committing the assault , but they did ill a self-defence . It was stated by one of the constables that the prisoners were most desperate characters , and had been frequently in custody for felony and other offences . Mr . Seeker said , that it was a most diabolical and brutal outrage on the police . The officer was in such a state that the loss of his eye was expected from their brutality towards him . He should commit them for trial , but as other men were implicated , he would remand them far a week to give tbe officers an opportunity of apprehending them .

      A Bull.—Was There Ever A Better Bull Per...

      A Bull . —Was there ever a better bull perpetrated than the following one ?—' I A new stove had been invented , and a gentleman soliciting order for its was praising its comfortable and economical qualities , in the highest terms to My . O'Shaughnassey , who listened with the greatest attention . As a climax to his euiogium , the interested party declared that the use of one of the siid stoves would save the purchaser one half the quantity of fuel he at present consumed . "' Do you mane to say , ' earnestly inquired Mr . O'Shaughnassey , ' that one of the stoves would save half my fuel ?' "' Most decidedly I do . I will answer for it . ' "' Then give me your hand , my friend , ' said he , delighted , and I'll tell you what I'll do : I'll have two stoves and save it all . '

      To The Shareholders Of The Char Tist Lan...

      TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE CHAR TIST LAND COMPANY , IN THE LEICES TER DISTRICT . Brethren , — There is one more point upon which the late Conference have decided , to which I wish to direct youi especial attention . In the original plan it was proposed to convey the Land to you as leasehold , with the right reserved to yon of converting the same into freehold by purchase , at a certain price , by instalments , whenever you had the pecuniary ability so to do . This was certainly a great advantage , and a powerful spur to industry and sobriety ; but during this period the collar of slavery was rivetted round your necks ; the foul brand was upon your shoulders ,

      Sensual comforts you might enjoy , but still you were serfs . This clog then , thanks to the wisdom of Mr . O'Connor , is to be taken at once from your ancles ; the Land is to be conveyed to you at once in feesimple , with a reserved rent to cover the outlay ; the right of the Vote is at once conferred upon you , and you enter each of you into your paradise UNSHAKELLED AND FREE ! It is the foundation stone of the first and great Chartist principle , the harbinger of the emancipation of the millions , But this beautiful prospect is not without its gloom ; this brilliant sun is not without a cloud , and it is with intense pain , that my duty imperatively impellsme to stand forth as the public accuser of my brethren , the wealth producing operatives , alas ! too generally ,

      mi « the neglect I deplore is as grave as it is general , In all towns , in alLvillages , there are local officers , varying with the population , from Mayors with Corporations , down t » petty Constable Overseers and Headboroughs ; and these are appointed for the most part by the election of the residents or parishioners possessing certain qualifications , which require registration before they can be exercised , and these qualifications the major part of you possess , and can with ease , by registration , possess yourselves of the power to exercise . And have you done this ? No—Is it your ignorance of this power which has prevented you ? No , it is not . —It has been dinned ic your ears from the platform and in conversation , till the repetition becomes nauseous . Your mouths are ever

      full of complaints oi the tyranny and oppression of these petty upstarts , and the newspapers crammed with horrifying instances of cruelty and brutality , from Andover Union upwards and downwards , while you whine and crawl at the feet of your oppressors like a beaten spaniel , and like the same spaniel lick the hand that smites you . We know nothing of the future , and can augur nothing but from the past and the present , and I ask you , with saduess at heart , what can your most ardent friends hope when your full rights are obtained for you , when they see with what neglect those already in your power arc . treated ? Once more then , for the sake of Heaven and of Earth , despise not the warning ; rouse yourselves from the effects of this . Lethean opiate , which has

      benumned your energies , and stultified your understanding : rise again in your moral dignity , renovate the hopes of those who love and care for yon , and add to the consternation and dismay which already reign in the camp of your enemies . I have another duty to perform , which I cannot by any means omit ; it is to bring before you the situation of Mr . O'Connor . To recapitulate what he , our more than Father , has done for the millions who toil , would be to doubt your memories , or depreciate your understanding , ft is sufficient to say , that no philanthropist of the past or present time , has never yet contemplated , even in his dreams , a plan so magnificent as he has not only established , but actually carried out to an extraordinary extentfor the

      , benefit and never ending advantages of the operative classes of this empire ; nor is there , I am well persuaded , another man to be found possessing equal moral and physical powers for carrying it out to its completion J and this , let it be ever remembered , without fee or reward at the present , or prospective for the future . In the prosecution of this object he has expended thousands , and is now necessitated to call upon us . And for what ? Not for a pecuniary gift , but for the payment of a debt incurred on our account . It is not the gift of gratitude , but the demand of Justice . And shall this appeal be in vain ? A thousand times NO . Let me not hear of inability ;

      it is the will and not the amount . The divine founder of our religion preferred the mite of the widow to the treasures of the rich . It is not personal , but principle . For my own part , I am as poor as the poorest amongst you , and ] have never received a pecuniary benefit from him to the amount of one shilling , yet such is my feeling of his invaluable services , that could a case occur where it might bo acceptable , I would cheerfully present him with a moiety of my last penny ; divide with him my last potetoe , and thare with him the bason of gruel , which so often forms my midday and evening meal . You have received equal benefits from his exertions , " Go ye and do likewise . "

      In concluding my address to you , I feel bound to present to you my thanks for the confidence which induced you togelect me your representative to tke / ate Conferei » ce , where matters the most important to your interests were discussed and settled ; and it is more pleasing , as I am a personal stranger to the greater portion of you , and must have arisen from * our approbation of my previous public conduct , of which you have many opportunities of judging . I have bet n now in the movement more than sixty years ; the friend of Cartwright , Hardy , Ilorne Tooke , Thelwall , and others , the » hining lights of bygone days , of whom none remain but myself and my junior friend the venerable Mr . Thomas Preston ; and I trust I may beallowed to say , without the censure of egotism ,

      mat trom my early youth up , I have trod the bright path of democracy , nor have severed from principle during that long period , and I have received the usual reward of slander , of obloquy , of persecution , and pecuniary loss . These things I do not regret , and I say with pride , that I have resisted tho temptation of the briber on more occasions than one or two , and spurned the dross offered in payment for a dereliction from principle . My reward is that of an ap . proving conscience , and my consolation , when I depart , that I have endeavoured to leave the world better tfian I found it . I close with the ardent wish to all that they may find the forthcominii year better than the expired one , and to my brother Chartists that their perseverance and zeal may add millions more to

      our ranks

      I subscribe myself as before , Your faithful Servant , on c n . v x T . . R . Smart ob , isanney Gate , Leicester , 5 th Jan ., 1847 .
