Kosuch thing- , these good people bestou their applause ma theatre—they are never seen to give their prayers in a church—they sabseribe towards presenting a silver bowl or goblet to Ronge ; they suffer those ot their own confession to Uveas heathens rather than contribute towards supplying them with the ministrations ot religion . . _ .. ..

      What then is the charm ? what is the cause of all this excitement ? It is the triumph of Rationalism . Alreadv , in anticipation , do they see the power , wluch alone during so many years has Stemmed the tide of mfideUtv , the power o £ the Catholic ( SlUrch , swept away by the increasing current ; already do they behold the time , when Ronge and Czerski , and their church , will be thrown aside and forgotten , and Germany will be one in irreligion and ^ difference . Kor , to a certain extent have they miscalculated ; for , even now has tlie confession of faith promulgated by Czerski been abandoned for one drawn up , it is said , by Bruno Bauer , the ultra-rationalist author of the « Cri % ie of Vie Gospels ; " even now have hymns been introduced , the compentions of Heine , the infidel leader of the most democratic section of the school called "Young Germany . " # # # * The schism of Ronge would , however , have created but

      : - - imporary sensation , had not , by a strange coincidence , another event occurred at the same time ; an event which , although it made less noise in the world , was of much greater real importance , the schism of Czerski , the Catholic priest at Schneidemiihl , and the formation by him of a " German Catholic Church , " independent of the Roman hierarchy . This body already numbers more than twenty congregations in some of the principal towns in Germany ; some of these congregations count their members by thousands ; they have held a council ; they hare put forth confessions of faith ; they have ordained

      ministers ; they are eagerly and zealously making converts ; they are encouraged by the loudly expressed sympathy and the pecuniary aid of their Protestant country men ; they have on their side ( with the single exception of the Evongtlische Kirchenzeitung ) the whole Protestant press of Germany . Even Dr . Bretschneider , the most distinguished , after Seander , of German theologians , has warmly espoused their cause . Oa the ot ¥ er „ hand they are regarded with distrust , on account of . th ' e political principles of their friends , by the Protestant governments ; and they are naturally opposed by the whole-power of the Roman Church . ' " '* - ¦

      A curious article this trulv , to appear in a Protestant paper ; but it must be remembered that this professedly Protestant paper is still more avowedly the organ of the Pusejites : and this article will give our readers who may know little or nothing of that ghostly sect , a very fair idea of their aims . See how this Pnseyite writer mourns over the decline of Romanism in Germany , and the advance of the German people in Rational knowledge . His admissions of the wide-spreading influence of the newmovement , and hishowhngs at the "triumph of Rationalism " cannot feil to afford the friends of free thought no little pleasure . Whatis Rationalism ? Theexercise of man ' s reason iathe pursuit of truth . Shall we then deplore the triumph of reason , and lament the downfall of priestly bigotry ? Read the article from the Brighton Herald we append to this , and learn from that what priests of cdl sects were in the days before Rationalism was known amongst men . Let priest craft triumph over Rationalism , and a return to those days would be inevitable .

      THE CRIMES OF PRIESTS—EXCOMMUNICATION . ( From the Brighton Serald . ) Under the cathedral in the city of Mexico there is buried the great idol which was worshipped by the inhabitants of that country before it was conquered by the Spaniards . Bullock had it disentombed , and a drawing made from it . A more hideous thing was never conceived by the brain of priests so prolific in ait that is terrible . It represented the Deity as a huge monster , with extended jaws eager to devour human victims . Nor was it a mere fictions representation , for 50 , 000 human victims were annually offered up to appease the supposed appetite of the infernal Deity for human blood . Horrid and appalling as this is , it was not more terrible to the most inoffensive people npon earth , the poor priest-ridden Mexicans , than the power and consequences of excommunication have been to the people of Christendom .

      Excommunication , like the idol of the Mexicans , has had Us day . Both are now entombed ; but with this difference- ^ the idol is , as far as it can be , destroyed ; but the power of exeommunication , though not exercised , still exists in our laws , and might , under circumstances , not probable , but possible , be revived . It is with no small satisfaction , therefore , we see that Lord Cottenham has brought a Bill into the House of Lords , which has been read without opposition , except from the Bench of Bishops , not indeed wholly to abolish the power of excommunication , but to remove it irem % \> Ecclesiastical Courts , and confer it upon & new , central , and lay court . For such a court to exercise the spiriloai power would manifestly be an absurdity , and we therefore conclude that the power of excommunication is to be virtually abolished ; but in such a way as to give as little offence as possible to the clergy , aud their lordships on the Bishops' Benches .

      The power of excommunication was exercised by the Roman fatac-lic church with great vigour during the " Ages ofPaifh j" It was the vsvud pretimwary to handing over some wretched man , woman , or child to the civil power to be burnt to death ! and was the prelude to the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands ofbuman victims , But there is not a church hi existence , or that ever bad existence , but would have acted precisely as the church of Rome did under similar circumstances . John Knox , the author of the Scotch Presbyterian church , openly claimed this awful power . Inhis owabistory ( page 133 ) he says , ' . ' ye may perchance contemn and despise the excommunication ^ of thef Presbyterian ! this reformed !) church now , by God ' s mighty power erected among us , as a thing of no force ; but doubt we nothing but that our church and the true ministers of the same have the sarae power which our master Jesus Christ granted to the Apostles . "

      "It is not possible , " says the Edinburgh . Rccteto ( "On Civil and Religious Liberty" ) , " for the most bigotted Catholic to inculcate more distinctly the complete extirpation of the opinions and worship of the Protestants , than John Knox inculcated , as a most sacred duty incumbent on the Civil Government in the first instance , and , if the Civil Government be remiss , on the people ( whom Kaos . himself caU & d a . " rascalmnltitiide" ) , to extirpate completely the opinions and worship of the Catholics , and even to massacre the Catholics , man , woman , and child . ' " "We here see the same priestly , arrogant , cruel , and reckless eagerness for blood in this founder of the Scottish church as animated the clergy of the Catholic church in the "Ages of Faith . " Cranmer was the Knox of tlie English church .

      ' * Everybody knows , " says the Edinburgh Bevkw ( the words ox which we prefer to our own ) , "that the warrant for the execution ( of Joanna Bochcr ) was extorted from the young and reluctant Prince ( Edward VI . ) by the urgent remonstrances of Cranmer , the Protestant Primate ; who , by a just retribution , suffered himself as a heretic , in the succeeding age . " How has the poet ' s line , " The mercy I to others show , that mercy shi-v to me , " been forgotten by priests " Grotius aud Lardner , Locke and Newton , those great and pious men , who are an honour to human nature and the most illustrious advocates of Christianity , would have been adjudged by the first reformers , as well as by Catholics , —by Cranmer and Knox as well as by Bonner and Beaton , —to be worthy of death in thepresent world : and of everlasting misery in the world to come . The martyrdoms of Servetus ( by the Calvinists ) , and of Joanna Bocher in England , are notable instances of the religious freedom which prevailed in the pwr « and primitive state of the Protestant churches . "— Edinburgh Beview .

      And in all cases of persecution and death the victims were first exconmu' ^ ivatcd and then burnt under the writ de heretics cmr-::. cn ' s . * Thus , in consequence of a letter of Innocent Vll -, U % W 0 women and children were burnt to death in fl > iw years as witches , in which acts the hands o * Protestants were as deeply imbrued as Catholics . Thus , so long as churches were sanctioned in then- sanguinary objects by tha > UU , wer one portion of mankind permitted to sacrifice another , and all , as they pretended , for the glory of God ! In point of number the victims fci intolerance in Christendom mav perhaps fall short of the victims of intolerance in Pagan Mexico , and perhaps not ; but in both cases we see a tvrannical priesthood , tho scourge of

      man-« ' Excommunication , under our mild reformed church , " savs Blackstoue ( vol . 3 , page 101 ) , "istwo-fold-the less and the ° reater . " The less excludes the accused party from tbe ° sceraments : a right which every congregation possesses and ought to possess . And here the power ought to begin and end . But the law , to use the mild language of Tory Blackstone , " compassionately " steps in to the aid of ecclesiastical jurisdiction , and kindly lends a hand to an otherwise told that

      tottering authority ; and then we are a person excommunicated by our tolerant church cannot , 1 st , be heard as a witner . sin court ; 2 nd , cannot serve on juries 3 rd , cannot bring an action , either real or personal , to recover lands or money due to Mm ; 4 th , f ««** doesnotacknowledge his feultwithinfoity days hemay he imprisoned till reconciled to the church ( that is , tor ever ) . Blackstone passes very lightly over these fright ful laws sfiH on the statute-book . An excommunicated person is put out of the protection of the law , and was " accursed , " and maybe deprived of every civil right , such

      as being guardian , trustee , & c ., ic . The form of excommunication makes one ' s blooacuroie with horror and indignatian . We give one , as a specimen of the priestly art of cursing ( the whole may be found in a work in everybody ' s hands , Sterne ' s Tristram Shandy , with Uncle Toby ' s ejaculations on the reading thereof ) . An excommunication was published in the "Ages of Faith ' by every parish priest in his holy vestments ( we quote Henry ' s History of England ) , with bells tolling , andcandles lig hted , before the congregation , in the mofcer tongue , on Christmas , Easter ,

      Iana I ^J I W£H War, At Least Ia Words, ...

      Pentecost , and Allhallows day . That these excommnnications might make the greater impression on tender consciences or timorous natures , they contained the most horrible infernal curses that could be devised- — "Let them he accursed eating and drinking ; talking and sitting ; Speaking and holding their peace ; waking and sleeping , romng and riding ; laughing and weeping ; in the house and in the field ; on water and on land , in all places . Cursed be they in their heads and in their thoughts ; their eyes and their ears ; their tongues and their lips ; their teeth and their throats ; their shoulders and then-breasts ; their feet and their legs * * * Let them remain accursed from the bottom of the foot to tiie- crown of the head , unless they bethink thenuelves and come to satisfaction ; and just as this candle is deprived of its present light , so let them be deprived of their souls in hell . Many of the " curses" are too horrid and indecent to be repeated .

      But why , " it maybe asked , " rake up these things now ? " To remind Governments and people from what they have escaped ; to guard them against ever permit ting the civil law to aid priests and churches in their aspirations for power , which , in their hands , is always accompanied by tyranny and cruelty ; and to express oar gratification that the power to excommunicate is , by Lord Cottenham ' s Bill , to be taken from the clergy in England for ever .

      Field-Garden Operations. For The Week Co...

      FIELD-GARDEN OPERATIONS . For the Week commencing Monday , June 11 th , 1844 . [ Extracted from a Dim of Actual Operations on five small farms ou the estates of Mrs . Davies Gilbert , near Eastbourne , in Sussex ; and on several model farms on the estates of the Earl of Dartmouth at Slaithwaite , in Yorkshire , published by Mr . Nowell , of Farnley Tyas , near Huddersfield , in order to guiije . other possessors of field gardens , by showing them what labours ought to be undertaken oh their own lands . The farms selected as models are—First . Two school farms at Willingdon and Eastdean . of

      five acres each , conducted by G . Cruttenden and John Harris . Second . Two private farms , of five or six a cre s : o n e worked b y Jes s e Pi p er , the oth e r by John Dumbrell—the former at Eastdean , the latter at Jevington—all of them within a few miles of Eastbourne . Third . Anindustrialschool farm at Slaithwaite . Fourth . Severalprivatemodelfarmsnearthe sameplace . Theconsecutiveoperationsinthesereports will enable the curious reader to compare the climate and agi'icultural value of the south with the north of England . The Diaby is aided by "Notes and Observations " from the pen of Mr . Nowell , calculated for the time and season , which we subjoin .

      " The culture of the ground is thy happiest state , 0 man ! Envy not the possession of gold , silver , or fine raiment . Their joys may not be so great as thine : for these joys lead unto sloth , and a life of slothfuluess is prone to vanity and imaginings of evil . " Noie . —The school farms are cultivated by logs , who in return for Hiree hours' teaching in tiie morning , give three hours of their labour in the afternoon for the master ' s benefit , which renders ihe schools sem - suwoMrxG . We believe that at Farnly Tyas sixsevenths of the produce of the school farm will he assignedtoihe boys , andone-smnihtoiha moater , wko will receive Oe usual school fees , help the boys to cultivate their land , and teach them , in addition to reading , writing , < bc , to convert their produce into hacon , by attending to pig-keeping , which at Christmas may he divided , after paying rent and levy , amongst tAem m proportion to their services , and bemadeihusindimtly toreoxh theirparenU in a way the most grateful to their feelin gs . ]

      NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS . The Cotiagb Comforter , oe Cow . —The most valuable breed for cottagers is perhaps the Scotch or Irish . They are more hardy than the higher breeds of cattle , and let it be the end , aim , and hope of the cottager to get one of these valuable creatures if he can . Their milk is rich , and yields a quantity of capital cream ; neither are they dry so long as the larger breeds , which makes them valuable to a poor man . "When once you do become possessed of one of these best gifts , use her kindly , keep her warm , and well littered with fern or straw . Give her good seasoned and well salted food , —as much water as she likes to drink , —and often use the currycomb .

In this plan the same crop returns once in seven years . For instance , take the plot No . 1 , which suppose cropped with oats or barley the present year ; then the second or next year it will be cropped with clover , the third year with autumn potatos , and , when they come off , with a stolen or double crop that year . The fourth year's crop will be winter potatos , & e . ; after the seventh year the crop will again be followed by oats , & c . Or , take another example . In the fourth division , winter potatos will be followed by tares and a stolen or second crop , then by winter potatos the sixth year . Thus , according to Mr . Blacker's design , on a two-acre farm , supposing the house , offices , & c , and garden to occupy one rood , the field-gardener will have one rood of grain , one rood of turnips , three roods of potatos , one rood of tares , one rood of clover , two roods of stolen crop , viz ., rape after tares , and stubble turnips after early potatos .

      ix u ? M-n FacI ( > am > Field Gaudex .-Meltham Mills are situate in one of those romantic glens near the Appenine chain of hills , in the west of Yorkshire . There Afessrs . Brook have extensive cotton . and silk mills . They find themselves at the head of a great family of workmen , and feel that " property has its duties as well as its rights . " Already a church and school arc reared for the laenent of their people . They are chaste in design and ornaments of the neighbourhood . There is another ornament—an appendage to the factories , ill an Industrial Farm of a few acres , where the unemployed workmen are occasionally occupied in the pursuits of field gardening . " \ Ve hope , ere long , to see the little hands of cliildren employed in such pursuits , learning to gam their daily bead from the soil , while they receive in the school , during part of the dav , a share of learning . If the surplus labour of the factory be applied m this manner to adorn that glen , it mav be made even more beautiful than it was left bv nature .

      An Example Of A Small Farmer. Here Is Ri...

      AN EXAMPLE OF A SMALL FARMER . Here is right good sense ; and we entreat our friends in the country to think over it , and act on it : — " Well , not a penny had I on this earth , hut seven and sixpence , the price of one honneen ; nothiug on my back but one shuito of clothes , barring the bundle 1 had on my stick ; but blessed be God , I was not beholden for all that his reverence , Mr . Montgomery , gave me a character under his hand , and with that to produce , I got work in the county Kildare , ivhere there ' s a power of knowledge entirely .

      , " Mr . Fitzgerald was not a rale estated gentleman his . self , hut he managed the estate for the head of his family , and I soon found that all agents arc not alike , it ' s no lie to say that he has'ent his match ; what I saw in liis place was a rale cariosity ; such draining , and crops , and cattle , and manuring ; the weeds quite as scarce as the ha-pence in my pocket ; and I had'ent , when I first began inhis service , one farthing left except what was gone in travelling expenses . . " Ten-pencc a day was my re # 'lar wages , tiie master allowed no holidays , and had work for foul weather as well as fair . I was rather handy ; and the mistress gave tne odd jobs of the evenings , after I had done wid the master—basket-making and other nic-nacs , always paying me very exact either to the hour or for the job / so that I could count on my airnings ; but what set me up entirely , was leave to sleep in the offices , for Mr . Fitzgerald soon perceived that I was ' ent one for keeping company , and that I made no acquaintance out of the place .

      " One half of my wages kept me in food , and I soon got a few decent rags on my back ; then came the time for saving my wages , and och I—how thankful I was that our master did ' ent keep holidays , especially when I came to put my savings into the bank ; mostly , ten shillings a month , s « that at the year's end I had nearly six pounds . Mr . Eitegerald ' s farm was a picture ; I never see'd the like for regulation and cleanliness . My heart rh when I looked at the comfort and plenty , and what could be made out of land . Its then I longed for as much as one rood to mygelf ; to be watching the seeds growing after my hand , and to try if I eould ' ent do something . "Well , at long and last , I tOOk COUrage and spoke to the master , for he had no more pride nor a child ; and , sure enough , he lets me have an acre . A prouder boy was ' ent in Kildare , and thaf s a big word , than myself that same night , cspecially when I sat down alone wid my luck , the rushlight , and the sallies , working in the loft at mistress ' s baskets , and thinking of the mnrcy and goodness that followed me , undesarving as I was of the same .

      " The bit of a field was poor enough , but I had it for twenty shillings , cess and rent-charge included ; and , being full of hillocks and hollows , wid plenty of stones on the surface , was no bad practice for a young beginner . I set a small boy to gather the stones by task-work ; and on the twenty-fifth day of March , afore day in the morning , just sixteen months after laving home , I put my first spade into my own bit of land , and dug at a drain till the labourer ' s bell rang at the master's ; for ye may believe I was ' ent going to quit his employment , no not for ofee week in the year . My little farm had a wetbottom , aud draining is expensive in point of time , but there ' s nothing pays so well as wcll-made drains : some calls them French - , but supposing they are , its bad to he above learning , even from one ' s enemies , as I've often observed when I came to know something .

      "As the evenings grew longer , my work got on lively . I hired a small diligent boy to help me in after-hours ; and hy the middle of April we had covered in some of the drains and was putting in my first potatoes . The land was rale ould pasture ; aud by laying out a trifle on manure I had an early and plentiful crop , for the seeds were of the best , and they were kept as clane as the mistress's flower-beds . By tho end of Septwnher my field was a picture to look at , as flat as your hand , and ready for wheat ; tho master , God bless him , lent me his beautiful plough and lovely harrow , for I'll do the quality that justice , Master Furlong , they are noways dis « ovutaging especially wid young beginners , and where they see an inclination , to indus ^ y ,

      t { the half-acre Ot wheat brought me tight pounds clear profit ; the rood of early potatoes four , and the othw rood , which I keptfor seed , was valued at five , so yer will see that in the course of one year I had substance to the worth of seventeen pounds , not counting the straw nor the clover coming on , nor a pretty decent show of rape put in after the early potatoes . I mostly working with Mr . Fitzgerald at my regular wages , except the few days I was putting in my little crops , or digging out the garden , and that was mostly done after hours . The early morning and the evenings , for eight months in the year , with a little gossoon at three-pence a-day , kept the ground clear and gathered manure : it's a waste of time , above aU things , that brings poverty , I have now nearly ste years' experience as a labouring man and a small farmer , and know to a farthing the value of fifteen minutes . "

      "Signs on ye , Martin , " responded the mistress of the house with ready approbation ; " why that one acre of ground and the usage jot . gave it , was no less than a baiik at command . " " The best of all banks , ma'am ( replied Martin ) , more safe and profitable , paying interest with honesty three times a year , and increasing in wealth the more that ' s drew from it . The clover shouldering the wheat , and the turnips running after the early potatoes , not forgetting the lucerne distancing all . " "You live convenient to the Curragh ( observed Furlong ) ; who knows hut the luck blows in that quarter ?" ' ^ By no means , Master Furlong , it ' s neithur a gambling ' nor ahorse-racing spec , that I ' m advocating ; but the rotation farm , and the system , the clean crops , the drain , ing , and , ahove all , Hie manure heap . When I threshed out the wheat and had plenty of straw , my next gain was a springer for ' ed in calf . "

      "Heaven aaveus ! ( criedMrs . Furlong ) a springing cow widoutone rood of pasture ; why , man alive , where did she graze ? or was she kept up like a coach-horse ?" "You ' re not far out there , Mistress Furlong ; cleanllness and comfortare as wholesome for cattle as for Christians ; I saw plain enoug h how well the master ' s cows throve with good usage , and was resolved not to be behind hand ; a small shed was easily built up in the corner of the field , and a little bit of a straw-yard . And what wid the rape , and the small potatoes , and the cabbages , and somccabbagesthatedged the potatoe-ridge . witha trifle of bought hay , the cratur didn ' t starve . I had a small patch of lucerne , too , which cuts over and over , so that between the green food and the warm lodging , she came on surprising ; her manure soon cleared the cost of the hay . Och , how my heart riz , when I milked my own cow , rubbed her down like a horse , and led her to the water . She was in poor condition when I bought her , butot a good breed , and became in no time the greatest beauty in the place . " . .

      iticnaei looked at Kosy , she smiled ; his heart riz toothey both thought of Norah , and Martin went on . " It ' s the greatest of waste , Mister Furlong , to pasture a milch cow ; no one would believe ittliat hadn't tried the two ways , but its waste of all kinds which ruins the country ; all sorts of food is as wholesome fresh cut , as eat off the field ; and clover especially is much better after some hours . Then to see that same growing again a & d again > instead of being trampled down and run over ; a few shillings' worth of Gypsum , if thrown on overnight when the dew ' s ou tho- grass , or a prospect of a shower , will bring 011 a second crop most surprising ; but I havn't come yet to guano , which . is the wonderfulest of all . However , they say that our own druggists at home can make manure equal to any sorts of animals , and if

      that be the case any poor man can farm a bit of land , or tarn his hand to a small garden , without the expense of a cow ; supposing he ' s a turn for industry ; hut it's idleness and loss of time which keeps down the generality . If the day comes on wet , and a man laves off work , lie walks into the house and sits down by the fire , or shrinks away to the forge to talk to the smith ; till fee place gets so throng they can't blow the bellows , while many a job is wanting at home , which the rain woldn't hinder at all . The walls of the bam moulding with dirt , or the cowhouse unpaved , the hens roosting aboat , and losing their e for want of a bit of a hen-house ; or the fox taking the turkeys because there is a hole in the door , or the rats eating the young ducks , when a few slates would secure them , ova bit of board would secure the whole clutch . " . _ .

      "l ' essy nothing but what ' s true ( returned Furlong ) , hut how can poor creatures help their misfortunes ? Now there ' s Judy Goss lost seven young geese , and if sixpence could huy her the compliment of slates , the couldn ' t , I'll answer , compass that same . " « I can't believe it , Mister Furlong , begging your pardon . "Wouldn't the price of one hari-el of potatoes fix up a tidy p l & ce f ° r * he poultry ; and how many stones and half-stones does Judy or the likes of her sell to buy tea ? It ' s not the want of a sixpence betimes , or the manes of raising it . but it's the untidiness and the want of forethoug ht . Didn't the sow eat up chicken after chicken from her floor , as she told us , and all ' becase she went on the same way , throwing them their food on the open yard or the kitchen floor ? Now where was the sty , or the pi-trough ? or where was her son , letting all go to loss V " Larry Goss is after what wont come to much good , I fear ( observed old Furlong ) . He ' s not going the ^ way to pay his own rent , or keep the roof over his mother ' s head , onlyidlbujbU ! time , and keeping company himself and

      his whole family , working-dajs and holidays , at home and abroad . But go on m'd your story , we have not come to the wife yet . They say in these parts that she is ' ent the worst of yer luck , and that she brought ye a fortune . " " I had fifteen pounds from her father , sure enough , but the money wasn't what I thought most of when choosing a companion ; for many a woman wastes more than she brings . It was what I saw of her conduct that settled my mind , her quiet behaviour , and stay-at-home ways . "What she gathered herself was more than her fortunea good feather hed , a box full of clothes , two quilted quilts , two wheels , and twelve dozen of yarn . Nun- there's few girls that mightn't have the like , if they kept to the house and minded their work , But I didn ' t think of a wife till I had a place to keep her . From less to more , the master increased my UtU « holding ; I got a tidy farm of four acres , and a snug cabin , and an enclosed yard ; wc are in it these two year last Lady-day , and keep three dairy cows . For there ' s no better hand for butter than Ellon : sl : o

      gets tiie head of the market for her cools , and a shilling a pound from private families for what she sells fresh , when tlie quality is in Dublin , Av course I no longer work out by the day , except when Mr . Fitzgerald is hurried , or the like . Of winter ' s nights I still make baskets for the mistress j neither man nor boy should be ahove earning an honest penny , and the wages of industry arc sweet . Our cows are well fed , and as I keep them constantly in the straw-yard , they take time and trouble , but it is time well spent to good profit , for they are making manure all the summer , never without plenty of

      bedflmg and plenty of food—clover , mangel-wurzel , and turnips in turn—for since this stuff called guano was Brought from foreign parts , no man n " . "A be without his complement of turnips , and I ' ve seen enough now not to be despising trials . l ' ou'H be surprised to hear that we skim our ci-ame , not sweet , like some , but after three males . There's greater profit of butter , and the bottoms of thu crocks is niuie nourishing for man and baste than buttermilk . "We have three pigs fattening for bacon—a breeding sow of the first quality , and poultry , av course . Plenty to c-T for every cratur , ourselves , the ass , and tlie two ' prentice children , "

      Most of Martin ' s hearers had heard his tale before ; but itwas no less interesting , and Michael , full of admiration , felt all his energies at work again . Mot quite six years and six months !—beginning as a daily labourer , without a shilling to the fore , laying by money out of his wages—and now a farmer . Keeping a dairy ; possessed of three cows , two calves , apprentice hoy and girl , pigs and poultry ; yet all was accounted for , all brought ahout by the personal diligence , economy , and observation of one man , By making the most of every hour—by learning from those who had knowledge to teach—by abstaining from liquor—from combinations —meetings—and unprofitable company .

      SHEFFIELD . On Wednesday , June 4 th , a meeting was held in the Democratic Reading-room , Fig-tree-lane , to take into consideration the propriety ot forming a branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society ; Mr . Carthage was called to the chair . The rules * having been read , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : — " That we form a branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society forthwith . " Thirteen paid an instalment on their shares directly ; and from the enthusiasm manifested since the meeting , it is fully expected that by the next meeting we shall number about forty . The following persons were elected as a committee ;—Henry oyer , Oluuios Liovsley , Aaron Birkinshaw , George Goddard , George Gallemore ; ThomasBriggs , treasurer ; GoergeCavill , sub-secretary . It was afterwards arranged that the meetings should be held every Wednesday night at eight o ' cclok .

      LANCASHIRE . Meeiiko of ihe South L-AKcABHins DEr-oiras . — A meeting of deputies from the various localities of South Lancashire in connection with the National Charter Association , was held on Sunday last , in the large anti-room of the Carpenters' Hall , Garret-road , Manchester , to consider the best mode of again arousing the energies of the Chartists in this division of the county . The meeting was well attended , there being delegates from all the principal towns in South Lancashire present , all of whom manifested an earnest desire that the Charter agitation should assume thatvigorousanddeterminedcharacter it formerly possessed hi this part of the country . On the motion of Mr . W . Bell , seconded by Mr . A . Hirst , Mr . John

      Murray was called on to preside . He opened the meeting in a brief speech , in which he pointed out the importance of the business which had called them together ; and hoped that their deliberations would be conducted with calmness and good feeling , and eventually be the means of restoring South Lancashire to its former proud place in the agitation for universal justice . The meeting was then addressed by Messrs . Bell , Donovan , Rankin , Hirst , Leach , Clark , Doyle , Roberts , Dixon , Hamer , and other gentlemen . After which the following resolutions were passed unanimously : — " That we , the Chartists of South Lancashire , act strictly in accordance with the plan of organisation . " " That we recommend the re-establishment of the South Lancashire Local Lecturer ' s Plan . Likewise the formation of

      Registration and Election Committees throughout , ibis district . " " That the South Lancashire secretary be instructed t 9 Wite to the ExeontiYO , to allow Messrs . Doyle ' said Clftyk . te lecture In this district for some time . " '' That we vcc 6 i \\ mel ' i ( l to thedifferentlocalities in South Lancashire to consider the Laud plan laid down by the late Convention , so that each delegate may be able to report at the next delegate meeting , to be held at Heywood on the last Sunday in June . " "That there be a committee appointed to report on the propriety of getting out a local journal , and give in their report at the Heywood meeting . " The thanks of the meeting were then given to the chairman , and the deputies separated , each determined to renew their exertions , in order to make the Charter a legislative enactment .

      The Address of the Deputies to the Chartists of South Lancashire , Broth e r D e moc r ats , —Our object in addressing you at this time is to call your serious consideration and attention to the resolutions aud suggestions we have made during our deliberations ; and likewise to consider the resolutions adopted by the late Convention , and which your Executive Councilare endeavouring to carry out to the utmost . These are measures which we feel confident , if you assist the Executive in carrying them out , will finally achieve for you a decisive "victory over your oppressors , and hasten the day of universal redemption . We particularly recommend to your consideration the immediate formation of Registration and Election Committees , in order to be

      prepared to give the factions battle at the forthcoming general election . Now is the time to prepare tie machinery , so that nothing may be wanting when it is needed . We trust , therefore , you will not neglect this important duty . We would also impress upon you the importance of the Laiid plan propounded by the Convention , which plan places it within the reach of all who are willing to make the effort to become possessore of the soil , and at once emancipate themselves from the fangs of the cruel aristocracy and tyrant millocracy , who have fattened on their sweat and toil . This , brother Chartists , is worth making an effort to attain . We would also suggest for your consideration the propriety of publishing a cheap local journal , or tract , embodying moral , political ,

      and scientific essays , and other productions , which would be the means of disseminating amongst the people the true and genuine principles of democracy and morality ; and thereby leach them , and lead their minds to a proper sense of their position in society : thus enabling them to know the value of liberty , that once having it , they may know how to make use of and keep it . We particularly request that this will meet with your serious consideration , and that you will instruct your delegates to the next county meeting , to bo held at Heywood , on the last Sunday of this month , to take this question up in a considerate manner , and give it their best attention . In conclusion , brethren , we entreat you , by your love of freedom—by those ties wluch bind

      you to fatherland—by your anxiety for the happiness , comfort , and contentment of y . rar wives and little ones , to arouse from that culpable apathy which has too long enshrouded yo « . Awake from your slumbers ! and , by actU-ely carrying into practice the plans laid down by the late Convention , prove to the world you are determined to Ivs free . We are sorry to say it—but it is a great truth—that the people of this country have contented themselves by talking about freedom , without talcing any practical step towards obtaining it . It is equally trut that former Conventions have met—have deliberated —have brought out plans : but , alas ! it grieves us to say the people have neglected to do their part , namely , to carry them into practice . Let , however , " bygones be I'y-goncs , " and let the time that is nast more

      than suffice wherein our backwardness to amend our social and political condition has been so apparent . Arouse , then , and embrace the golden opportunity of working out your own- salvation , h y at once , and without delay , adopting the Land and other plans laid down by your own Parliament for the amelioration of your condition . We trust that this , our appeal , will not be made in vain ; but that all who profess to be Chartists will do their duty to the country , their families , themselves , and mankind universally . 1 Ins , brethren , is the sincere desire a : u \ earnest prayer oi yours , , in the bonds of Democracy ( on behalf of the deputies assembled ) , Jons Murray , Richard Radford , William Dixon .

      Loxdox Corx Exchange , Moxday , June 9 . —The arrivals of wheat and flour coastwise were quite moderate during the past week , and those of barley , oats , beans , and peas scanty . From Scotland a few hundred quarters * of barley and one small lot of oats were received , but of the latter article a fair quantity came to hand from Ireland . From abroad the receipts of grain were to a fair extent . At this morning ' s market there was a small show of wheat , by landcarriage samples , from ihe neighbouring ' counties . Of barley there was very little up , nor were the fresh arrivals of oats by anv means large , whilst of beans and peas there were tew offering . During the latter part of the past week the temperature was low for the advanced period of the year , but wc have since increased heat . At the commencement of business tine fresh wheat was held very firmly this morning at rather above the rates of Monday last , and for the best qualities full prices were paid ; subscouontlv the

      sale became more difficult , but buyers were unable to purchase at lower terms . Duty-paid forei < m wheat met with very little attention ; holders refrained , however , from pressing business , and the few parcels wluch change ?! hands brought about former terms , in bond a cargo of fine Dnntzic was taken bv a miller at 42 s . per qr . Flour was held firmly , and many of the millers continue to quote the nominal top price 45 s . per s . 1 ck . Barley , though but little inquired for , was certainly not cheaper , indeed superior qualities ( whether of English or foreign growth ) could scarcely be bought on as easy terms as on this day se ' nnight . Malt was likewise held very firmly at late rates . The recently established advance on ' oats was not only maintained , but in some instances a further small impvovement was realised for really sweet fresh corn . Beans were sought after , and commanded fully as much money . Peas were about Is . per qr . dearer . In seed there was very little doing , and quotations remained nominally unaltered .

      LOKOOK & M 1 THFIELD Cattle Markkt , Moxpay Jcxb 9 . —Since this day se ' nnight the imports of foreign stock for this market have been again ext e ns i ve , they having comprised Hi oxen and cows , 41 sheep , and 7 calves , all from Rotterdam , pe r the Ucean , ilatavier , and Columbine steamers . Generally speaking , these importations have proved extremely good in quality , though the sheep and calves do not come up to the expectation of the batchers . To-day we had on offer 49 head of beasts , the whole of which found ready buyers at a considerable improvement in their quotations . At theoutports about 200 beasts and thirty sheep have been imported from Holland . The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts being very hunted for the time of year , and the attendance of both town and country buyers numerous , we have to report a very brisk demand for beef , at an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday last of from 4 d . to fid . per 81 b ., some of the primest Scots producing as much as 5 s . per 81 b .,

      though the more general figures ranged from 4 s . 8 d . to 4 s . lOd . Although there were some well made up animals , a decided falling off in weight was observable . From Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , we received 1200 shorthorns , Scots , and homebreds ; from the northern , western , and midland counties , 300 Herefords , Dcvons , shorthorns , & c . ; from other parts of England , 300 of various breeds ; and from . Scot * land , 490 horned and polled Scots . For the time of year we had an unusually short supply of sheep offering , there being , as was the case last wcek , neorly thirteen thousand head less exhibited than was the case at the corresponding market day in 1844 . As might , therefore , be expected , the mutton trade was brisk , at fully last week ' s currencies . Lambs , 151 of which came to hand from the Isle of Wight , were in short suppl y , and steady inquiry , at extreme quotations . Cal ' ves , though in fair supply , moved off iredy , and late rates were well supported . In pigs a full average amount ofbudness was again transacted .

No barley offering . Oats scarce , but no alteration in their value ; the same may be said of beans . Leeds Corn Market , Tuesday , Juke 10 . —Our arrivals are moderate , and the supplies now coming forward do not seem likely to exceed the wants of the trade . Wheat is in better demand this morning and last week's prices are firmly maintained , in some instances rather exceeded . The malting season being very nearly over , little barley is required -, in its value there is no change . Oats , shelling , and beans , arc in very fair request at full prices . We have now a much warmer temperature , and vegetation will be rapidly promoted by it .

      Leeds Cloth Markets . —Business has been of a more active character than for many weeks past . The stocks arc comparativelyjlow—intact , lower than is usually the ease at this season . The month of May is always considered a dull month—but the dullness is passing away , and , judging from the transactions at the Cloth-halls ; and ' wc may also say at the warehouses , a brisk trade appears to be commencing , particularly in goods of a fine and middle quality . There is also a good trade in fancy cloakings and shawls . Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , June 0 . —We have this week a good arrival of Irish sack flour , but ji * other free produce or inaiiufacturc . the arrivals are " sm a ll . The chief import- from abroad is upwards of 10 QQ quarters of Baltic red wheat . There ha ? been 110 change in the scale of duties this week . j . A weather , upon the whole , has been much more

      favourable , and the country around us has greatly improved in appearance within the last ten days . A few cargoes of bonded wheat have changed hands during the week , at 4 s 7 d to 4 s 8 d per 701 bs for Rostock and Stettin , hut the business generally has been of a limited kind . The millers and dealers have bought cautiously of free wheat , and have been able to supply themselves at a small reduction in prices ; good samples of Irish red have been sold at 6 s 4 d to 0 s Id per lOlbs , and 6 s yd may be considered a full value for the choicest . Sack flour has met a moderate demand , and the value has declined Cd to Is per 2801 bs . Oats and oatmeal have each commanded fully last Tuesday ' s rates , but there has been no particular extent eli business in either article . Beans have brought an advance of Cd to Is per quarter . Barley , Indian corn , and peas continue much the same as last quoted .

      Manchester Con . v Market , Saturday , May 7 . — During the week , the weather having been of an exceedingly favourable character , the demand for . flour relapsed into a state of inactivit y : in the absence , however , of any anxiety amongst holders to press sales , prices have undergone no material change . In either oats or oatmeal but little has been passing , and former rates were with difficulty realized for the latter article . There was an extremely limited inquiry for wheat at our market this morning , and on inferior runs a decline of Id . per TOlbs . must be noted . Flour moved off very slowly ; but in the quotations of this day Sft ' nnigbt no change can be made . Oats were likewise in moderate request Only , without alteration in value . For oatmeal the demand was trifling , and the turn of prices in favour of the buyer . Beans excited very little attention , but were not cheaper . MAKCHKsiEn , Tuesday Jose 10 . —There has been a good demand for yam , and former prices have been maintained with an advance in some instances Piece goods steady in price and fair demand . -
