      NOTICE ! TO READERS , SUBSCRIBERS , AND FBIENDS . We have this week issued a circular to all our agents , intimating that , on and after Saturday , the 30 th inst ., the publishing arrangements of the ' Star' will be placed 0 D the same footing as those of all other metropolitan weekly journals . From that date no papers will be supplied except for cash . In consequence of not acting upon this general rule of the trade , Mr . O'CONJYOR has suffered heavily in past times , and has now , owing , in small separate sums , an aggregate

      debt of some thousands of pounds . We have no doubt ouv readers pay for tbeir papers when they receive them ; wo only want the agents to do the game when they take them from us ; and to content themselves with their legitimate profit , instead of taking paper , printing , government stamp , and editorial labour from us without making any return . In carrying out this arrangement , it is quite possible that some of our readers may be disappointed in receiving their papers for the

      first week or two . If so , they will know whore the fault lies , and they can easily remedy it . Thoy have only to give their orders to another news-agent , who is in the habit of observing the trade rule , and sending his money with his orders to his wholesale agent , either in London or in the country . If no such person be available , a quarter ' s payment in advance , or the remittance of the price of a single number in postage Stamps weekly , will ensure the paper regularl y from this office by post .

      We hope , however , that the ample notice we have given of the change will enable all our present agents to make arrangements accordingly ; and that , while the proprietor of the Star' will in future be honestly paid for the papers he supplies , the readers of the ' Star' will suffer no inconvenience , hut receive our Journal as usual . We may add , that during the vacation , we purpose to usa our beat efforts to make it second to none , as to the value , variety , aud importance of its contents .

      Labour Unbound. One Sentence In The Spee...

      LABOUR UNBOUND . One sentence in the speech of M . ALLAIS at tho late meeting in the National Hall , Holborn , deserves the most profound attention from the working classes of this country . Speaking for himself aud the four other French workmen who had been decoyed to this country on false pretences by one of the Pekrvs , he said : —

      Have you not always been like US till HOW , the Slaves ef tho capitalists ? lias not the self-will of the masters always been against your most sacred interests f The burden you bear , citizens , wc have already lightened , it is true , for since we have left London—eight months ago —a very happy transformation lias taken place with us . We are now members of a great association which inerpuses m power dail y , and seems to he already the fear oi the capitalists . We are our own masters , —each number of the association is the sovereign , and no power but the right can control or fix the price of our daily labour . We are all interested in the . auccuss t £ ouv association we work with couraj ; e , 'foi' the benefits which « e derive out ot our productions IS OUV OVftf iudMdUulVv

      Words more pregnant with meaning—involving interests more vast — consequences more important—encouragement move cheering—never were uttered in any public assembly : they deserved tho burst of enthusiastic applause they elicited . But shall the matter enu wtth applauding cheers ? Cannot British operatives follow the example of their French brethren ? is the problem of the redemption ot Labour from the thraldom of Capital always to remain unsol ved in this country ? Let us have a few words together on this

      subject . We know of none which even approaches it in magnitude and importance . ¦ Improve out- political , industrial , commercial , and educational machinery as wo niav , whilo tho relations of Capital and Labour continue fundamentally unjust ami irrational » o radical or permanent amendment can take place . The acquisition of greater political power would tend to hasten the accomplishment of that radical change in our societarian

      arrangements , if the people had the know « ledge how to apply that power—if not , it would leave matters very much where they were .

      grave . The National Association was eslablisliei to meet a radical evil with a radical roiiii'tic It proposed to make the funds heretof ^ wasted in strikes the means of suppl ying profitable and reproductive employing £ those of its members who refused to submit ( 0 injustice , or for whom no honourable , y ^

      could be found with the ordinary emp loyers The machinery by which that important ^ joct was proposed to be accomplished was per , hiips imperfect , and in practice would hat , required many alterations aud additions in fr tail ; but it was simple in itself , and fairl y ajj honestly applied , must have been successful It has never been so applied , becnusfiils .

      working classes generally have as vol not outgrown the old notion of Trades' \ Jiii « is , They foolishly cling t & what is neither a ( , « . taction from present e ^ ils , nor capable of yn dueing a bettor future . They do not snfi . ciently comprehend the principles and piny by which alone they can escape from \ k galling yoke under which they fret and moan , and from which they ever and anon make \ m efforts to set themselves free . In the few in . stances where it was attempted to apply

      these principles and plans by tho Natwnsl Association the result was unsatisfactory , partly because of the ignorance of those who made the attempt , but much more , we regret to say , because of the want of honesty and brotherhood on the part of those who were set at work upon the associated capital . Tho consequence was , that tho most important . truly valuable , and remedial portion of the plans of the Association have fallen into abeyance , and its Directors are compelled to fight aggressive capitalists with the old efftu

      weapons . The facts stated by M . Aixais should act as au incentive to the trades of Great Britain to take immediate steps for remedying Hiii state of things . Ho testifies distinctly to tie success which has attended the Working Class Associations in France . Labour has , iu tint country , at length discovered the true way « i mating itself independent of capital . It creates its own capital—its own markets-its own demand and supply . It has omaucipatd itself from the dominion of fantastic theoiii !)

      and impracticable dogmatists . ' We are sap M . Aixais , ' our own masters—each meuiler ' of the Association is the Sovereign , and ot ' power but the right can control or fix ffe 1 price of our daily labour . We arc all in-4 terested in the success of our Association , ' We work with courage , for the benefits «* 4 ' we derive out of our productions arc ouv o \ m ' individually . ' This complete and triumphant emancipation of the slaves of commercial feudalism in Franco has not been aided by

      peculiarly favourable political or social circumstances , if we except , perhaps , tho existence of better laws of partnership—though we are not exactly aware at this moment nonfar the latter has been instrumental to the result . Politically it is certain that the m associations' have had to contend with " » greatest possible obstructions . Under the reign of President Bbokapabte , AssodolwM of working men have encountered the most determined hostility , from the fear that whatht ba

      ever their ostensible objects , they mig converted into political associations , suo f '' - sivo of that prolonged tenure of power w imperial domination at which !«* ! , in * Mr . Coningkam in his recent lecture » these associations , Bays :- * Under pret that the Co-operative Ass ociations serve < Pj as masks for the promotion of political societies , the government of M . Buonaparte m pursued them with unparalleled rancour ; ^ , the working men , unprotected by «») ' la * . withouterem
