Lyttou Bulwer , Justice Talfourd , Mr . Amos , the celebrated jurist , and other eminent men , who have reported faits of crimes committed by . the poisons which dear ! v show that to wink at thedifi ' erent ways in which such poisons may he used would only lead to imminent danger ; I , therefore , do say that , upon the Talfourdand

      The Anti-Reform Mi2tcstry. Parliamentary...

      THE ANTI-REFORM MI 2 TCSTRY . Parliamentary Reformers are indebted to Mr . Hume , for having elicited from the Premier , the fact , that he does not intend to propose any . measure with reference to the Suffrage himself , this year , and that , if they bring on the question , ' be will oppose them It is not difficult to- - reconcile this direct statement ' with those of a contrary character , which were made by Ministerial and . semi-Ministerial , journals , before the meeting of Parliament . The divisions of Thursday and

      Friday evening last ; have shown the Ministry that they are stronger than they anticipated . The use they make of their power is , as heretofore , to defy ' the people , to obstruct progress , and to refuse just and reasonable concessions to well-founded popular demands . We never knew it otherwise . . The Whigs- "'' are always most yielding and - most liberal , when their seats are in danger ; or when , being out of place , they want to get in . Once snugly in power , with a fair prospect of retaining it , and farewell to all chance of liberal measures from

      them ! ' - ' Perhaps , however , Lord John has not been altogetherprudent in thus boldly announcing his utter disregard of the wishes of the unenfranchised masses . of" this ' country ., ; Although he has—by a peculiar combination of parties —gained a victory : over the ; Protectionist party , he should remember that he is liable to be forsaken by some of his supporters - on the

      other questions , and that , even in Parliament , the tenure by which he holds possession of a majority is not the most secure .- It is not by ' that of a powerful and compact party , unit ea upon all the great leading principles of Home and Foreign Policy , but rather the temporary domination of a minority , caused by the neutralisation of the forces of other parties * for the time being . -

      But whatever may be the composition of parties within Parliament , or whatever may be . the tactics of . those parties during the subsequent ; proceedings of the Session which has just opened—we earnestl y urge all sections of the people to unite their energies , - who believe that a large and honest measure of Parliamentary Reform is indispensable as a foundation for any effective or enduring improvement in the social and-political condition of the masses . They now know what to expect from the combined factions and aristocratical Houses , who have governed England so long , that they at length seem to entertain the belief they have a prescriptive , hereditary , and inalienable ri ght tO do SO ; : ' - ¦' - ' - 1 : " . ¦ -. ' .- . - . ¦ .

      • If the-spmt which animated our forefathers , in their noble struggles : for the . achievement of the . liber ties they - havebequeatbed to us , yet lingers among the people . of this land , it will not be slow : to meet the haughty decree of the oligarchy , with a challenge to a fair contest as to who shall be masters iii this our native land . It is ; not to lie endured , that while nations , far less fitted " for the . exercise of political rights than we are , should have won their . political emancipation , we should still-be politically slaves .. ' " ¦'' " ¦ ¦ .-: •'•

      Surely , the men who tiU oiir fields ~ who labour in ; ow mines , and factories , workshops , arid warehouses—those whose , skill has fabricated the piles of wealth and luxury which are heaped up around us , and whose productions sustain the whole fabric of society , ought not to be kept mthbutthe palbbr" the Constitution " At- Philanthropic Meetings ^ . we-bear Right Rev . Prelate 8 ; and Noble' L-ords lament , with great appai-ent sympathy , the wretchedness of their dwellings , "the misery of their lives , aiid the hopdeesnessVof "any substantial"

      Improvement , unless , large and radical measures , of Eeform are immediately adopted . This-week- , the-Bishop of Loitoon in the'"tondon Tavern , surrounded by- men of' rank and * wealth , denounced ow present Iyste . m . as , beirig ' " unnatural , " and our civilisation , as ! a mockery , ¦ in consequence ; "of the vast , gulf ^ whichinw , ' iuteryenesV-between the : rich and ^ pooiv ' .

      : We observe that ' Sir' JOSUVA . Wal 3 £ SLEY ami Mr , THOMPSON , are holding meetings in favour of Parliamentary Reform , in the pro-, vinces . They are better employed there than in sitting as dummies in a corrupt- ' and anti-EeformHouse ofCommons . Ifthe movement be vigorously and unitedly pushed forward by the people out of doors , it will in due time tell upon the Legislature . The great measures . of social and p olitical improvement which have been successfully won in this country , have never emanated from Ministers and

      Parliaments . They have had their- origin among the people . It has been the slow * * but steady and general growth bf public opinion among the masses , that has elevated society . No party or power in this country can long withstand the united , enlightened ,, and determined efforts of those who seek-for justice onl y . " " It is , however only by union , and the concentration of all our efforts upon one given

      object , for the time being , , that success can be achieved ; For Parliamentary Reformers to quarrel among themselves , when there is so niuch work to do , is to play the . game of the enemy . So long as they do so , Whigs and Tories may smile securely at each other from the different sides , of the " House , they have usurped and shut against its lawful ownersthe people . ¦¦¦ ¦ - ¦• . •'•¦• ¦¦ ; ¦ -,

      Lord John discreetl y limited his refusal to ' ' this year . " r He . will tellthe Parliamentary Reformers the same next year , if . tlic ' y ' ar . e'ho farther advanced than at present .. It ; rests with themselves when they will carry , their measure . It is now merelya question of time and relative strength . We hope the hint will be taken ; and that by a vigorous and successful campaign , the Premier may be conyinced that ,, even " this year , " it-would be judicious to concede to the people those rights from the exercise of which : ; , tb ' ey „ are " now -unjustly debarred .-, /¦ :,,- . , ' i \ : .

      Parliamentary Review. Protectiojast ''¦ ...

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . PROTECTiojasT ''¦ j ) iiikti - robbery bi THE BISnOPS . —TflE OEyLQN' JOB . ' : . ' The opening . night of the . Session mustliave completely annihilated' any hope entertained by the Protectionist pai * ty , of inducing the present Parliament to retraptjits Tree Trade policy . As * we anticipated in our remarks under the head of " Parliamentary . Prospects , " the Lords shrunk from : provoking a hostile collisiou out of ideors , andigave the Ministry a larger majority . ithan Whigs are

      often favoured with in ' that House , They consider themselves fortunate ^ indeed , when they can carry a measure by nine , insteaijl of forty- , nine . By pressing . the amendment to a division' on the first night , au immense' advantage was gained by the Free Traders and the Government . Their decided ti'iumph in the Upper . ; Houeej detached the . waverers and " waiters upon , Providence" from the Protectionist ranks in tlie ^ Commons , and' reduced the strength of the party , at . the division the succeeding night .. They : calculated out of doors , before the Session commenced , that'they

      would divide at least . 240 strong—they only mustered 192 , or fifty votes ; short of the estimate . More thaii twenty ' of the . most pronii ' nent and valuable members of the party either went over to , the ; Ministerial side , or were absent , without pairs . The . journals , representing the ^ Country' ? interest , cry but lustily against , these renegades . Their conduct ; is described as "disgusting , " and reasons are assigned for it which , in truth , throw not a little lig ht , upon the manner in , which Parliamentary majorities are recruited . Mutatis mutandis , the description applies . to" the gentlemen on both sides of the Iidnse : — '

      ' - ' This lion , member , ' sriys the ; Morning Herald ,. 'wishes to be invited to the Duke of Devonshire's ball—that other wishes to have his . lady and daughters commended to lier Majesty ' s next concert ; a third has a sou who wants pro motion iii tho navy ; a fourth desires to have his boy named an attache at Paris or Vienna ; a'fifth looks to ,. obtain a plot of ground on easy terms , from the Woods and Forests . ; a sixth wants a deputy-lieutenancy for his second cousin ; a seventh a place for . his . butler in the Ppst-offlee ; an eighth a commission in tlie rifles ; a ninth much desiderates that his reverend brother shall . 'be named one of hei ' Majesty ' s chaplains ; and a tenth requires only : a grant of 3 , 000 acres in New Zealand for a son who has been , some years on half-poy , and who can do nogood . Thus it ' is , that men , without bargain and sale—without barter or traffic , surrender their independence , and suffer themselves to be talked over . ' '" - ' - ' - ' : ; '* " ' . ;! - ; ' >

      Now ,: the , Chartists are alSyays told that their plan of representative reform is objectionable , -because it . would-open . the door to needy adventurers , who might be liable to . official temptation ; ' Could' anything be worse than the state of things here' described ; drawn , ' Aye have no doubt , from ^ life—aiid in , each parti " cular cause of defection , , pointing at somecf the deserters from the Protectionist-party ? We think that a Member ;' paid by , the people

      to do , the people ' s business , and liable to be turned but of . his' , spat ' at' the ;' end , of tiieyeary would scarcely , be so yielding a , material for Ministerial blandishments and Corrupt ; - influences ; , as the " independent" and "highly respectable' ' persons [ who are now exposed to all . the . noxious agencies of cant and political jobbeiy .: If the "Country party " . want ,, in future ,. tobeable to calculate with certainty on the faithful and constant services of their

      representatives , they must join with us in demanding the . Charter . "' ' " ' . .. " . ' ? i . \ ' - ' : ' ,. ' " ; There ' . was nothing novel in . the . debate in either House . The old stock arguments were repeated on either ; side , and the battle , however fierce out of doors , was but a-languid one within . St . . Stephen ' s . Lord Stanlky , as usual , threw some fire , linto . the discussion' in the tipper House , and . very . efTectually demolished some of the sophisms of tho Free Traders ; while Mr . Disraeli , in the Com- ; mons , fought shy of the . main question ; ' and sought to pin , the House to the' " queer no

      meaning ? ' of a carefully , worded \ ambiguous amendment ; It is clear , that the- temporary leader of the Country ^ party lacks that command of facts and figures which' are the rough ¦ ahdready weapons ' of popular political warfare ; His opponents of the . Manchester school have a great advantage over- hiin ; in - these respects . He is ^ a dealer ¦ > in '' - rhetorical fire - works ,. which ' make / a vivid impression at' the moment , but when they have , flashed and faded , are forgotten ^; or ,-at least , leave rio durable recollection behind .

      On Tuesday , Mr .

Despite the overwhelming mass of evidence brought forward at forrrier debates to prove their utter , untrust ; wbrthiness ^ ' ^ his protection over them ,, until at . last , being unable to stand his ground longer , he-feigned

      compliance with the course advocated by Mr ; HorsmAn , and —^ deceived him .. This trick is so cbmihoril y' played , that by-and-by Mr . Hume ' s determination , never tb believe a single word thai Earl : GREY . says , will extend ¦ itself to the whole Ministry , and be ' participated in by the public at If fcge '; - The curious part of the " affair .

" F . astas ^ money , ' was ; supplied , it did riot exceed the spending , powers of the Bishops and their obliging Secretary .- ¦ ¦ ¦ . The light thrown upon the way in which the busiiibs ' s' was conducted , ' opens up " an entirely new me'thpd , of transacting public ; , arid extensive affairs . ; For nine years there "was ! neither

      balance , audit , nor account . The Commission had no books whatever , showing either where the money came from , or where it went to . The Secretary ' s cheque-book was the sole record ., ; ,. TherSecretary ,. in fact , was the : Commission .: He , somehow or other , by a smuggled clause in " a Bill—smuggled nobody knows who by- ^ becarne a permarientbfiicer , and , by Icbnseqtiehce , ; gradually ) absorbed : the whole , of the acting ; pbvver ; fron , i , tlie fluctuating members of the Commission . u \ So long as they had their own interests attended to by the obliging Secrctary , they left h'iin a cleiir stage in all othbrrespects . . ' At last , the publication ofthe list , of ; railway subscribers . showed that , Mr .

      Secretary . MuunAY , - aliasi the Ecclesiastical Commissioner inparvo ; was a' subscriber "for considerably , upwards of half a millibn stei *; ling ! " This caused people tp look about them , and then the bubble ; burst . , ; the .

      THE CHARTER AND PROTECTION TO LABOUR .: TO THE EDITOR OP TUE NORTHERN STAR . ^ Sin , —For the first time since , my liberation from Kirkdale Gaol I take the liberty of claiming a space in your journal ,-in order to perform , what I consider a public duty , otherwise I should have remained silent . I . have witnessed , with deep regret , the course now being pursued by some of those who assume the title of " Chartist leaders ; " and , as an active democrat , publicly and privately known to thousands of my fellow-workmen , ¦ in various purts of England , for the last twenty years , I hereby enter my protest against this " new move" in which w . c . are again invited to join with the middle classes . Such a course appears to me a retrogade movement , and I beseech my brother democrats to ponder well before they commit themselves to such

      a line of policy .. Having how . been incarcerated in " ten-prisons for the part I have taken in the glorious cause of demecraey . ' . I feel convinced that no man will impute this letter to motives of vanity or self-gratification , but that AVtrite men will say with me , - " Of what use has been our many struggles and sacrifices , if we ai-e now to go back . to the same position which we held previous to the . passing of the so-called "Reform . Bill ? " No ! We shall sot do this would be the universal reply . Therefore these "leaders" may be assured that the minds of intelligent democrats cannot be put buck in : tho 0 ' Connellito fashion , but that they will remain firm in their integrity , and , if necessary , renew their vow of allegiance tb the holy faith of complete , pure ,

      and unadulterated Desiocratic and Social Reform . We h : ive tried these'men before , and -bitter experience has taught us what they ave , and what we have to expect from them . I have no objection to the middle-men , or bourgeoisie , making any shuffle they think proper ' with the political cards , but they shall not persuade me to join in the humbug ; and I consider that a man must be demented who joins again in the paltry by-battles of class or faction , to the neglect of his own rights and interests . It the people will do this , they will become the scoff r > nd scornof the world , and will justly merit the sufferings which such unprincipled slavishness will ultimately entail ; Thus thinking , God forbid that I should remain silent , and I trust that otherswho think with me , and wlip , like , jne , have devoted their lives

      to , the cause of . human progression , will now spedk ' -. but , and not suffer" qui- life-long labours to be thus , blotted out . Wc ' cannofc serve God and Mammon , and must cither sink down into tlie miro and become timeserving nonentities , or stand firm by our old . motto , " The , Charter , the whole Charter „ and No Surrender . ! ' 'Tis ' tvue th-. vt tUo working classes are npatlit'tie , and I "have . as good cause to complain o ' fit as ' mbstTncn / but that is not a valid excuse -for " adopting a vacillating policv . I therefore give notice that I shall use my best endeavours to keep the people in the old path ; rugged and steep though it be , I feci convinced that'it igllre only road by which we" can establish the political and social Itioiiis of Man . I am not inclined to abuse those who may differ from , me on . this point , hut I , for will not class

      one , . enter the shafts of the middle wagon , and bo led by thorn . Why sir , this is tho very policy' which we combatted at the Sturge Conference in Birmingham , and which entailed such heavy-expense upon us at that period , and I sec no improvement whatever in the : sham reformers to induce mo to look upon my pdrseeutors with a m ore friendly eye than then ; but , on the contrary , I have to charge that , party with boiii " the authors and ahottovs ' of iny two-last imprisonments . : I am alsogrieved to think that any number ot working men could be found so "ungrateful , and so blind to their own ft-wi-interests , as to hoot at our well-tried and venerable friend- Richaid Oastler at the late Stepney meeting ;" as , although they may , with ' meobject to join in the hollow- selfishness of

      , the Protectionists , they ought'not therefore to do the dirty work of the moneymongeis and factory lords . I thank . my " respected friends , Harney and Kydd . for the manly ana honest manner in which they , have defended the object for which that meeting ' was convened , -as ¦ it is -absolutel y dishonest and ' unfair' to attempt- to : confound " Protection tq-Labour , " with 3 ''; Prbtectiou .
