      Roland , —that breastworK . of western civilisationtbat country , free of yore and teeming with plenty , - ibtit to-day the land of tears and terror , where despotism breathes its samiel to dry up the stream of the nation ' s life , and where barbarism ( crawled from its Muscovite lair ) revels HHethc Storm On Lybian sa nds—Inland began to _ concentrate Us strength , in order to present a strong front to the enemies of oianfeind and to burst the irons binding liberty . But when the efforts of single Polish provinces to unite into one body-were . thwarted , and the war in Hungarr , gradually and more firmly spreading over the surface of . the country , offering the greatest guarantee that in time , with arms in our hands , we should march to the land of our fathers , insisting upon our

      rights—insisting , for sooner will tuecrocodile release hiaseized prey than the despot voluntarily surrender one , foot of enslaved land , —we hastened into the ranks of the defenders of mankind , in order to assist the holy Cause of liberty of tbe Hungarian nation . Our labours had very nearly been crowned with success ; already our fathers , our mothers , and sisters , with eyes glistening with the tears of premature exultation , waved laurels consecrated by th ir 1 crown the .. temples , of brave soldiers ; already the chains which for so long a period bound the liberty of " "nations ^ ' began to burst , arid Hope waited on Glory * The very earth seemed to turn a different course when the barbarians of the North , the Asiatic hordes—that blood-thirsty dragon , always ready to annihilate civilization , panther-like lying in wait for his prey—overran the whole surface of Hungary , in Order to assist the already vanquished Austrian

      despot to destroy the glimmering taper of Western civilization . - . , , , The overwhelming numerical forces of the enemies of Hungary—exhaustion of the availabl sinews of war , with a prolongled struggle , a 8 t * u » gle for death or victory—treachery of one of itee most skilful Hungarian generals—and , finally , the inferior arrangements ofthe great but unfortunate battle of Temesvar : the whole of those causes unitedI together prostrated Hungary , and Studded that beautiful land with the graves of victims , to he daily watered with the tears of the bereaved ones , and forced the flower of the youth of Poland and Hungary'to seek an asylum in " Turkey , because more acceptable , a hundred times , is the state of exile and tears shed on foreign strands , than distinctions and wealth in a native land under the tyrant's yoke . Even there tbe stranglers of nations would not let us rest ; they claimed from the Porte our extradition .

      But when neither the fear of extradition , nor tbe tempting-offers to tarn renegades seemed to take effect upon us , when , starvation and . cholera began gradually io thin the ranks ofthe exiles , to crown their revenge , the despots compelled the Porte to seize from amongst hs the most distinguished men , such as Kossuth and the whole of the generals , to shut them up in Eutajab , in Ihe heart of Asia , the land of ignorance and wild habits . The rest of us they left to ourselves , that , deprived of our only legitimate guardians in the midst of misfortunes and regrets for our native land , we might be morally annihilated . Being placed under these unfavourable circumstances , unwilling to spend the best days of our manhood in the midst ofthe dormant and inactive

      life of eastern nations , and feeling ourselves capable of improvement ; we succeeded in obtaining leave , through the influence of the English ambassador , Bir Stratford Canning , ' to sail for "England . : Eng-: land , this land of freedom and commerce , this centre of European civilisation , has become the new land of our exile . England , the Samaritan to the oppressed of all lands , has given an . asylum to the remnants of the Polish legion ; throwing open her hospitable doors , she has given ns rest from onr : fatigue , and with the sweet loving voice of her beneficence has beguiled us of our sense , of isolation . Generous and sensible to OUT miiortunes , the English people at the very beginning took suitable means to insure our longer stay , as , shortly after our arrival in Liverpool , they formed the committees , having for their object our maintenance at present and tbe employment for the future by means of which we could earn our own livelihood . To ameliorate the condition of the unfortunate sons

      of Poland , a similar committee was formed in Sheffield , which applied for twenty-eight of the refugees . It is ' owing to the care of this committee that we are enabled to forget our bitter thoughts , that wears exiles from our homes , thrown upon the wide world bj the unseen hand of Providence to proclaim the wrongs and cruelties perpetrated in onr country , like a living protestation , which is denied to those who remain at home . It is owing to this committee that Oar necessaries of life and time-worn clothing have been most carefully attended to . It is owing to this committee that already above twenty of us have found employment , and although the earnings in many instances are insufficient to supply our wants , the deligence of the members of the Sheffield

      committee instantly makes it np and furnishes ns with everything that is absolutely necessary . We . have no donbt that with the assistance of this committee , in a short time all of ns . will find suitable employment ; guaranteeing our sojourn in England . Lastly , it is owing to this committee that our earnest wishes to remain in England are gratified , —this England , the loftiest' point of European freedom , from whence quicker and more effectually we can be responsive to the call . of our much-wrongrd fatherland . \ For so much care , and for the readiness with which you have hastened to the relief , of suffering humanity , you will deign to accept onr most sincere thanks ; and , though we are well aware that the best reward

      for the generous and noble actions is the pleasing recollection , of doing good , we flatter ourselves with hope that these few plain words , but gushing from the fulness of pur hearts , will bt received as an offering from a grateful band who , though wanderers , have a mission in tbe great world , as you are aware that the emigration of an enslaved nation is an everlasting echo of tbat nation ' s groans and protests , con * tinually ' anrioying the ear and disturbing the dreams of the enemies of freedom , and that its destination is to unravel the past and to build the future . Yon , then , the members of this committee , have earned the thanks and gratitude not only of ourselves , but of onr relatives and of the . whole suffering Poland .

      To you , also , the generous ladies of Sheffield , with filial gratitude we express our heartfelt thanks . It 'tosyon frho obliterated * the scarcely dry tears of our exile , aud i with the solicitude of a mother whosacri-Sced her . child to avenge the injuries perpetrated by the enemies of her . native land , yon have brought relief to our hearts yearning for tbe dear mothers and Bisters wis have lost . - . ' -.: '' : ' - Finally , to yon , gentlemen of this town , it is a very pleasing duty . to ns to express our than Ke for so many Proofs of , sympathy which we constantly receive at yonrhands . Ton , gentlemen , having come forward , at the solicitation of the committee , with - pecuniary assistance , and thrown open yonr manufactories ,. in

      Order . that by honest labour we might earn our own sustenance , have largely contributed to save Poland twenty-eight of her children . ( Signed ) , Ferdinand Kowalski .

      TO THE EDITOR OFTHE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sib , — -Permit me * for the information of Messrs . All-wkom-it-may-concern—that very old established company of AnonymouaeB—to st a te , that 1 have just crossed the border , sound , wind an d l im b , and am once more in merry Eng land ; that I expect to be in and about Newcastle-on-Tyne , from the end of this week to Monday morning , the 25 th in & t ., that

      I intend then passing on to noble old . York , and talking there two nights , —and from thence to Sheffield , if time will allow . But , as 1 have given half a promise to be at Padiham by the 1 st of September ,, and to spend that month among Lancashire folk , it ia most likeiythat I shall . not get to Sheffield , and other towns of Yorkshire until" October . My friends in the West Riding , however , - may rest assured that 1 will not return to London

      before 1 have visited them . In the meantime my Lancashire friends will greatly oblige me by forming my route for September , as speedily as possible , to avoid confusion . They may cither address my friend , Mr . Benjamin Pillin , Grimshaw Well , Padiham ' , or myself , at Mr . Barlow ' s , 1 , Nelson-street , Newcastleon-Tyne . . # If it would not be deemed too great an

      intrusion on your columns , 1 might just say that , during the fifty-two days 1 spent in anld Scotland , I addressed forty audiences : some in the principal , towns of Edinburgh , Glasgow , Dundee , Aberdeen , and Paisley—some in the smaller towns oi'Dunfermline , Dalkeith , Hamilton , Galashiels , and Hawick—and the rest in the villages of JDlbarchan , Barrhead , Campsie , and LaSSwade : in many instances , the audiences being large—and , in all , highly

      intelligent . As to what I did in Scotland , besides talking to the * gnid f o lk , and what I saw and felt among its mountains , and amidst its his-: toric associations , it might fill , a sent i m e nt a l volume to tell ; and unless 1 had your esp e c i a l permission to occupy a column with my prate , I would not venture upon the story , lam , dear sir , yours truly , Thomas Coofeb .

      . IO THB EDIIOB OF THE 50 RTHXRN STAB . ' Sir , —It is now more than eleven years since I wrote to" the Bishop of London . At that time 1 showed ' him the excessive labour we had to ' perform , ere we could get a small share of ttie commonest necessaries of life . 1 showed-him the cause of our then condition . -Little did I think , at that time , that things would . continue to grow worse and worse , until 1851 . . - . . : i ¦ The Bishop of London gets £ 19 , 895 per annum , and a Cumberland weaver gets about £ 11 3 s . 4 u . for a cotton thread , measuring in length about 8 , 203 , 520 yards , which has to be made into cloth at the rate of 4 , 160 yards long and 27 inches wide ; I am only speaking of one-half of the material and labour—namely , the weft . 2 * 0 W , Sir , I Will try to solve a little problem—namely , ' if £ 11 3 s . 4 d . be equal to 8 , 203 , 520 yards , what is the proportionate length required for £ 19 , 895 ? .

      £ 11 Ss . 4 s . ; length , 8 , 203 , 520 ; £ 1 , 9895 ; . Answer—Yards , 14 , 511 , 107 , 200 ; being about 3 , 261 , 879 miles and 160 yards perpendicular abOVO the bishop's heaven . I dare not calculate the Bishop Of Durham ' s income , and make it into a " long yarn , " lest I might fall from the top of Jacob's ladder into that "heavenly place " the Bev . Mr . Wesley spoke about — namely , " Beyond the hounds of time and space , and lose myself in inesplorable darkness . " As we shall soon have a general election , permit me to make a few hints to the working men : The Protectionists will revive their mock agitations abouj " Free Trade / ' Heed them not . They are not in earnest . Their land rent is , at least , of

      onethird more value now than it was in 1847 . The same amount of money now will buy double the amount of labour it would in 1847 , and the landlord class , like all their fellow creatures , are too selfish to change their commercial policy which is profitable to them . The government pensions are of more value now than in 1847 . All classes , except the labourer , are reaping the benefit of recent changes ; therefore , when they raise the cry of " Protection /* heed them not , their aim is to divert your attention from your own object—namely ; self representation . No man , with a fixed income , is willing to pay more for . labour than he is now paying ; consequently , ' our present Free Trade policy must irresis . ably continue , and the various classes above hinted at know it . ' "

      A word or two about Mr . O'Connor and-bis ene

      mies . = - -- - .- / . . . . :. , In 1842 an ' 43 , a few poor men ( I among the number ) , were sent through the country to agitate for the People ' s Charter ; After : a series of trials the people's patience became exhausted with a protracted , agitation ( quite natural ) , and many of us found it necessary , at that time , to retire to our respective callings { the only honest consistent plan we could adopt ) . As 1 was in many parts of England and Scotland at that time , I found it necessary to try = many expedients to test popular feeling , touching the real value of Mr . O'Connor ' s" political character . - I found here and there odd individuals ,

      who were vain enough to try some trifling dodge against Mr . O'Connor , but such parties invariably subjected themselves to popular ridicule , hut not without good reasons . Those who have fattened in Mr . OTConnorVcainp ; and reclined upon his lap in time Of distress , have not gained much by . their treachery towards him and the . people . Seither ought they to prosper , for Nature is retributive . Humanity has many faults , which it will- forgive , but find me a Judas , and I will show you his retributive hangman . - ¦ .

      FATHER . GaVAZZl ON THE PEAOEvCOH GRB 88 AND FERDINAND THE FALSE ,

      There was an iihuauai . thropg at Wniia' Rooms on Wednesday afternoon " , to Hear the parting- address of the gifted Italian , previous to his * departure for the cities of the north of England and Scotland , which , incompliance with pressing requisitions , he ia about to visit during tbe parliamentary recess . The eagerness to hear bis concluding oration of the series , ¦ was heightened by the expectation that Mr . Gladstone ' s' ijaraphlet would supply its subject and material . The Daily News discontinued reporting his orations at the twentieth , but resumed for this occasion . Tue , orator began by adverting to the Peace Congress ^ in whose proceedings , to which he had been bidden he willingly recognised a development of the grand principle , tbat public opinion , freely elicited , should regulate the business of . mankind .: . _ His complaint was , tbat the aggrieved , the . Bgoliatea , and the victimised ^ raembers of the human fimily ,

      were in those gatherings unrepresented , " France , Prussia ,. the American Union , had their delegates propounding smooth plausibilities ; but p lundered Mexico , devastated Algiers , trampled Hungary , band . cuffed Hesse Cassel , bastinadoed Lombardy , violated Venice , tortured Sicily , gagged , manacled , and terror-stricken Rome , liad entered no appearance at this pacific conclave . The expense of a standing army , and its pressure on the pocket , appeared , to be the feeling uppermost . Look at Switzerland !—that mountain home of freedom never encroached on its neighbour ' s nationality , nor would it suffer aay infringmeht on its own . Boused from its peaceful industry by an Aiistro-Papal aggression , it started up 80 , 000 strong and ejected the foreign element of discord , in defiance of tbe three great European powers . The result was peace , ¦ glory , self-respect , and repose . The Helvetic confederacy had no standing army ; but in that unsophisticated laud every freeman carried a firelock , in virtue of which he continued free .

      " Talk not to me" ( heexclaimed ) " of a truce with tyranny . ' i cannot prize the peace of the sepulchre or the acquiescence of the bondsman . Let the sleek and pampered hierarchy that participates on the proceeds » f oppression preach up a perpetuity of power to plunder and enslave ; but , with the blessed Baptist , be it mine to confront tho Herods of tbe hour , and aloud proclaim it ' unlawful for thee to take what is not thine own , but helongeth unto another . " To wink at wickedness because worked out on a gigantic scale , to distinguish a national from an individual wrong , is a casuistry 1 scorn . Be this outstretched arm withered , and this tongue cleave paralyze . d to my palate ; if ever , through the life-long career that remains to me , I pause or falter in my allotted

      taskthe advocacy of Italian right , the enforcement of her just demand , tho recovery of her swindled franchise , tbe rescue of her territory , and the full recognition of her independence . A testimony unsullied and unsolicited has ] U 8 t been bOItlO Oil our behalf ; a calm , dispassionate voice has , been heard in your land , and summoned bur slanderers to judgment . Mr . Gladstone has spoken ; and if the hoary hypocrites who would defame and stigmatise the virtue that resists their foul embrace , and loathes their effort at violation , stands abashed and confounded at the bar of opinion , thanks and blessings on this manly Englishman ' s interposition . While ' 'JYoung England , " iri the person of a Baillie Cochrane , would act the pander to each dishonourable attempt , the indignant integrity of a British

      senator has levelled the blow of a Saxon cudgel on the plotters of our ruin . He has dragged them before the tribunal of your upright and incorruptible committee ; he arraigns them one ' and all / From tbe poor dastardly occupant of a principality in Parma , from , tbe wretched eunuch in forcible possession of Tuscany , from ' Hophni and Phineas , the sons of Eli the high-priest , working their wicked will at Rome , to the ringleader of the whole gang j the truculent ravishec , of the Two Sicilies , " the shrieks of whose victims , [ remote and unfriended , be has made audible to the ear of England . : Ho tells you of this monster ' s perjured vows and , desecrated oath ; -he recounts the awful sacrilege of a forsworn gospel ; and you stand aghastat tbe miscreant ' s audacity . Alas ! you - are not familiar with the fatal facility by . which priestly imposture has . made feasible the violation of the most solemn contracts that bind man to man in our unhappy peninsula . Ferdinand tbe False is in strict

      alliance and confederacy with the Father of Lies ; he acts under the guidance of a confessor , Ke-haa a sacramental resource , an auricular appendage of tyranny more convenient and move serviceable than the horrible ' ear V of Dyonisius , tyrant of Syracuse . For adhering to their part of the constitutional compact ; -a clear majority of the coimtry ' s chosen delegates are in the dungeons of this perjurer . The Prime Minister of his own appointment , the incorruptible Poerio , is doomed in tbe wantonness of rampant iniquity to twenty-five years of a galley slave ' s existence , with its plenitude of horrors—the convict dress of ignominy , the chain round his waist , the irons rivetted on his feet , the clanking appendages of infamy dragged at every step in health or sickness , the torture of his waking hours , the incubus of his sleep ; and this for a quarter of a century yet unexpired , blind and fatuous , as well asfoul and atrocious condemnation . Shall he not outlive the brief duration

      just Heaven has- already decreed for the continuance of a misrule that , outraging humanity , impugns a superintending Providence ? : How long is he to rot with the best manhood of 27 aplea ill the foetid vaults of which Mr ; Gladstone unbolts the bars and bids the rank effluvia reach iis ' eveh at this distance ? Shall 20 , 000 human : beings on the southern coast of Europe undergo in these infernal baracoons , such inflictiots of . savage vengeance , when , a barbarous African traffic is forcibly put down by a special , squadron , amid the applause of mankind ? - Talk-of ^ international rights ! recall your frigates : from-interference with the Kjrig of Congo ! , , ' VYaste not . the life of your gallant eons in a pestileiatcrusade against the Ferdinands of Fernando Poj The Bayof , Naples calls more

      emphatically than the Bight of Benin for your protective energies on behalf of tortured "thousands ' made equally with thehegroin the iihageof God ! ' Is it because the Roman high ; priest abets and blesses his confederate ' s cruelty that you ; refrain from'inf dignant protest ? When a child was lacerated last week at Isiington under sacerdotal auspice ' s and sanction , did that ' appear ' ah extenuating oircumstr h e e , and did British opinion deem it a defence . Away with this , cursed alliance between imposture and inhumanity , blessings and blood , the whine of hypocrisy , add . the ' hyena , yell of ferocious vindiotiveiiess ; ; - ' ' . "" . . '' .

      pitiating the eternal foes of freedom , and so prolonging histenure of an inglorious position .

      _ The Staffordshire Trials are over , The Juage and Jury ,, and all . parties have played their part , and the Messrs ; Perry have per : formed thier part also , ' and the Central Committee of the National Asspciatipn , ; through tb-OS ^ of their members , whom the injustice of the Ferry ' g included : ln the indictment , have redeemed the promise ihey ¦ made to the ¥ e } X V an < J ' tbroagh their cdunseihave justified the only part thev'tdolj in the ' affair , as

      being ' strictl yiu accordance with law . Against the law ofthe Judge an immediate ' appeal will . b e made to a superior court , r because , . ' if that learned personage be correct , then does it become highl y necessary that the ; working men of this country begin to look-Well into their position , because the effect : of the'law , as laid down by Mr . Justice Erie , saps the very root of all Trade Societies , ; and is at utter variance with the previous opinion ot other highl y eminent Judges , whose djcta will bo quoted as law when the name of Mr .

      Justice Erie will have . faded in the oblivion of insignificant things forgotten . ' As for the Verdict of tho Special Jury ^ the . least we say is perhaps the better . They were either very far before or very far . behind every othor person in that court in thb quality o ' f common sense . This ia the moat charitable construction to place upon their extraordinary verdict , utterly at variance , as it appears to us , even with the law , as laid down , by so partial a man as Mr . Justice Erie , and directly in the teeth of all evidence and facts , even if the aworh , t e stim o ny o f . th e Per r y ' s would , be believed b y any m a n of c ommon sense or common honesty , who was present at that trial .

      "We beg to assure our members that we shall not fail to vindicate ourselves , and our Association from the mis-statements of Perry . " We have already taken steps to do so . He left that court convicted : by his own confessions , one of the most insincere and faithless men in existence . He had the impudence to avow that his whole conduct to the London Delegates , to his brother manufacturers , to the mayor and magistrates , vand . even to * his own brother and father , from March to July was a continued series of . insincerities . '

      Whatever may be the result ef theso trials , as was emphatically Said . by an eminen t Queen's Counsel , we , the ' convicted conspirators , ' would not change , places with the pro :-secutors . We fancy wo shall sleep sounder and sweeter : uppn : her , ' Majesty ' s strawj 'than those bad men on theirpillow , of down . ' It is intended , to publish acverbatim report of these important trials , from , the . official-notes of the shortrhand . y , writer , -who ¦ ¦ was v specially- retained upon tho , occa 8 Bion , i . where-it will be seen that thfr honour of the National Associa .

Committee , they will have sufficient confidence to be ¦• guided implicitly by their advice , and not commenoe any proceedings , however w-eli meant , without their aa . nction .

      We apologise for the brevity of this report , but the all-absorbing events of the last fort nig ht , . and the large encroachment . this affair has made upon the columns ofthe 'Star ' Will , we aro sure , be accepted by onr members as a sufficient explanation .

      Ats Appeal Op The Leeds 8ilk Dressers To...

      ATS APPEAL OP THE LEEDS 8 ILK DRESSERS TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL . AND TO TRADES * SOCIETIES IN PARTICULAR , Tho Silk Dressers of Leeds ( late in the employ of Me » sra . DoWforth aiid Son ) in appealing for the sympathy and support of their fellow . lnboureis throughout the , country , are desirous that the following facts should be carefully perused by eveay one who respects the interests of lebour , and tbe right of working mento Unite together for the ' purpoae of maintaining their wages . The facts of this case are aa follows : — . '•

      About three months ago , the Silk Dressers employed by the abovo-nomed firm , to the number of thirty , ( being about two-thirds of thb hands employed ) jes . olvedjb connect themselves with the "National Association of United Trades , " * with the view of protecting their present rate of wages . To establish a compact union of tho trade generally it was considered expedient to issue an Addrossf ailing upon Silk Dressers in every town to follow the example ofthe men of Leeds . The Address was drawn up and inserted in one of the London Weekly Newspapers , which by Some moans found its Way to our employer , who , on reading it , became terribly enrnged , and ' determined at once to crush our infant society . With this object , he discharged

      eipht men , giuirg them notice to work out , as being the leaders in trying to organise our trade . Sot content with- discharging these men , he wrote Letters to all other employers in the trade , branding them as unionists , and giving their names ; so that let the men go where they would , they found tbemsolves proscribed , set down- as 'outlaws , and all honourable employment denied them . Under these circumstances , we are sorry to say , our late employer found willing tools , prepared to sell the interests of the trade , and barter , away tbe rights of their fellow- workmen . These men took the places of those discharged , at reduced prices and commenced instructing a number of boys , introduced to supersede the men . -The other portion

      of the har . de who had joined the society , seeing the innovations which were being made by , the employer , considered it high time to resist the abuses ; and the gross injustice being inflicted- upon them , resolved to give notice ? to quit their employment : they did so , and siveenmore are now out of work , which , together with the eight discharged , makes twenty-four . Two , however , out ; Of this number have obtained work with a . more honourable employer . who , to his credit , refused to become a party , to . such monstrous tyranny ; and two more have left the . land of their birth , to seek employment on foreign , but , we hope , more hospitable

      shores . Such is a portion of our case , ' , but worse remains to be told . We . have been cruelly dealt withr ^ discharged . from * our work for being Union men , ; -: proscribed through- the whole \ trade ,., and . Brdss ' y insulted by the preseritationof ah infamous document of which the following is the substancei " .-r , " That we do solemnly declare and affirm to have withdrawn , fr , 6 m the Society ; of Silk-Dressers , " in con . ne : sion . wjth-tbe National Association of United Trades , arid fi om all and every other similar association . And , further , that wedo solemnly affirm that , we will ; hot aid or encourage '; any such societies ,-or any . a combination ' ' of men ' whafjsoever . " . ' : ; - ¦ ' - -- . - , '¦"' ¦ ' ' '\ ' ¦'¦ : ' :. " -. .. .

      By signing so' deprading a daoument we can obtain employment . But ,. tbank Gbd lwe have moral courage sufficient ; -to resist thefoui temptation to sell by . Wbolaaie . our right of -Association .- ' "We ^ ' ar e Englishmen .: and prize oui < liberty £ 00 highly , to . renounce it for tho privilege of toiling for our dafjy bread . We cannot sign away our birthright to gratify the caprice of capital , or to increase the luxury and wealth of those who fatten upon our industry , while Vie become poor and penniless , ' We respect labour too much to sacrifice its interests , and we feel confident , that in vindicating our vightSj and appealing to the lovers of justice and humanity for assistance , to aid us in resisting this direful aggression , we / snail meet with that sympathy and support our case merits .

      In conclusion , we are sorry that our peaceful efforts to protect our labour should have been so greatly misunderstood hy our late employer , and as a consequence have placed us in our present position , We have no desire but to see tbe employer and the employed harmoniously co-operating together—their interests should be one , and . both Should ever strive mutually to respect ano * conserve each other ' s rights . We do not wish to dictate to employers what , they shall pay for labour , at the same time , we are not prepared to surrender our manhood ,. and become the bound slaves of any who

      choose to lord it over unprdtected . industry , or unconditionally-to sign away . the . only privilege we have left . iis—the . right of associating together to paev ' ent our wages from being reduced . ; ¦ •; . We conceive that our case . directly , affects the stabilitity . and the very ^ istehce of Trades * Uhibris' ^ and we have rid' doubt but tbat the Trades will li ' berkljyrespbhdtp our appeal , and assist us' in resisting the tyrannous , unjust , and monstrus document , presented to us as the only condition upon which we can obtain employment ...., . _ v We remain , { yours . respectfully , : ¦¦ - ' - '' . /\ ,.

The following is the answer of the commissioner of the City police to the-communication of Sir George Grey : •—' TO THE KIGirr HO . V . SIR GEORGE OBEY , BART ,, M . P ., HER MiJESTV ' S I-BI . IclMt , SECMJTAKT OF ' aTATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT , ' ' City Police office . Old Jewry , London , July 30 . 1851 .

      ' Sir , —The Lord Mayor has transmitted to me the memorial adopted at a public meeting held on Clerketiwe . il . jrrcen on Monday evening , July 21 st , signed L . J . Claucy , Chairman , with a requtst th-. it I would give b >? earlj at . tention to the subject of it . i 'Upontlie verQict of the coroner ' s jury being communicated to me , I immediately gave- directions to hare the matter Investigated by the inspectors of the division in which the death ot'William Hogau took place , and thatthe tjnstables who were examined upon the inquest . < . hould report in writing upon the circumstances a * they came under their notice . ' . -. ¦ .-: ' I have the honour to transmit copies of the statements mide to mo in writing by the inspectors : and ' constables , and to cull your attention to the error in the nismnrial , which charges politc-eotviuvhte Ko . ASS -with . \ hi alto-getl oll ' ence , no constable bearing that number hemp : in this division , or in any way connected with-the subject of inquiry . I presume the constable intended to bu charged with the alleged offence to be No . 815 ,

      ' I shall studiously abstain from any rema : KS cither uuqii the direct nature of the ' charge , or upon the statements given in refutation of it . because 1 cawwt flo « l > V that you will cause full inquiry to he made into the circumstances which occasioned the death of William Hognn . Not' having any power to summon witnesses or to . enforce their attendance , or to administer an oatl ) , or to conduct inquiry io . public , the only sure mode of to giving satisfaction , I can inly lacilitate the investigation by directing the attendance oi ' all parties belonging to the City police , and which 1 shall cheerfully and promptly do . , « I venture to suggest that the coroner be called upon to transmit the evidence taken by him to the Lord Mayor , and that Ms lovfelu ? slvswld . „\» ivquesteO . to caus « an early and full inquiry to he rhnde into the ciieumstai'ces set forth in the memorial , unless you shall be of opinion that the constable , who is directly charged with the offence should be put upun his trial , and the friends of the deceased furnished with the means to conduct the

      prosecution . ' That no delay , nor any iniMerence to the occurrence , may be attributed to this office , 1 feel it correct to state that the inquiry before the coroner was concluded on the 8 th day of July , and that on the following day I gave the directions before alluded to , and that 1 received the memorial signed " L .

      Collision On The London And ; . South We...

      COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND ; SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY . On Thursday morning , shortl y after eleven o ' clock , an accident took place on this line , -which , although not atttended with Iobb of life , has been productive of serious injuries to from twelve to twenty persons . It appears that the Twickenham train , which is started a few minutes before the eleven o ' clock mail train to Southampton , bo as to e na ble i t t o re ac h the jun c t i on line between Vauxhall and Wandsworth before the mail

      train comes up , made a longer delay than usual at the Vauxhall station , owing to the unusual number of passengers . The driver of the engine of the mail train , on nearing the curve of th © line between Vauxhall-gardens and the station , not perceiving any signal of d 4 nger , and believiug that the Twickenham train-had gone on , proceeded without shutting oifithe steam , which was at the time at high pressure , and the consequence was that OB iuVniiig the curve , before he could shut Off the

      steam , or reverse tbe engine , it ran into the Twickenham train , at the time the passengers were entering the different carriages , which of necessity caused the passengers to be thrown a g a in s t each other with great - viole nc e , although the shock of the collision was not sufficient to break or injure either the carriage or tender . The driver of the mail train had by this time succeeded in shutting off the steam , and by the efforts of the breaksman the train was stopped in sufficient time to prevent any serious results .

      When the collision , took place the most appal li ng sh o uts w e re he ar d f ro m every carr i age , every p e r so n b el ieving he was devoted to destruction . In the latter carriage of the train and on the platform the utmost confusion prevailed , and nothing was to be seen for some time but maimed and disfigurediindividuals of both sexes .
