      MR . f ! iMyFBlJOiwMlraiv ^ : ¦ --- s-s ^ -vi-j ^ - - ^ TjETTERi : ^; ' ;''; , ; :, ;" ; ^;; '' , Mr . Clark ' baseither' ^ Sraritly or intentionally mhirorisiruedmy ' chaUerige ' "to him at the Stepney meeUng . ' 1 challenged him to discuss the Correctnessor , jncofrectriess . of the views set forth in the n ^ sTresdlrifibn , moved by Mr . nCanapbell , in tbe column , of a newspaper .-i : Mr . Clark either did , or did not accept my offer ; If he did ,-let him fulfil Bis pledge , ; by discussing the question in the press . If be did not ; let him say at once that ; he declines the cbhtroyersy in the way desired by rrie ;

      I ndtherdrew . np ; nor countenanced all the resolutions which the ; committee intended to submit to the decision of the " Stepney meetings . But , I- did think the first resolution correct in principle ; and , in my letter have endeavoured to prove it to be so . With what success , it is for Mr . Clark and others to judge ; . - " -The readers of the Slar know that I have no objection " to a repeal of the laws of primogeniture ' and ^ ntau , and a reduction of taxation ; also , an extension ofthe Suffrage . Now , suppose I was to add . 10 Mr . Clark ' s amendment a few additions , such av a separation of church and state , abolition of the game laws , abolition of capital punishment , colonial reforai , adjustment of the national * debt ,

      establishment of model lodging houses , public baths and washonses , & c . I daresay Mr . Clark would , himself admit , that those additions would render bis amendment more comprehensive . Bat , what relattsn would they bear to the duties of a government , as set forth in Mr . Campbell ' s resolution first , let ns discuss principles , and then the application of principles . If the kind of protection I think necessary be somewhat' vagaely' stated in the resolution that forms the basis of my argument , let Mr . Clark show in what way it is vague ; . if my reasoning be fallacious , let Mr . Clark prove it to he so ; and when he has proceeded sofarlvfillreply .

      One thing at a time may seem rather a slow way of business to some men , to me it is a sure way . And when Mr . Clark has replied to , or acknowledged tbe troth of my first letter , I will be very glad to enter into any other arrangements necessary for the diffusion of knowledge , and the . promulgation of principles .. But , until then , I say to Mr . Clark , either accept of my offsr to discuss the . question at issue in the colums of a newspaper , with ; the plainness of an honest man , or say that you do not accept of ; my offer . ' I certainly am in no way pledged to discuss the effects of an abolition of the laws of primogeniture and entail , and an extension of the suffrage , as set Ibrtn in Mr . Clark ' s amendment .

      I may add , that if Mr . Clark adheres to the principles advocated so unmistakeably by him at the Stepney meeting , there are the fullest grounds of difference between myself and him . Mr . Clark asserts that the labourers of England require no protection from either foreign or home competition . I assert that they require protection from both . Mr . Clark asserts that all government interference with labour is unsound in principle ., I assert that it is the duty of the government to interfere , and to protect the labourer . Mr . Clark asserts that buy at the cheapest market , and sell at the ; dearest / under all circum stances , is the highest law of commerce . I assert that to buy at the cheapest market and sell at the

      dearest , under all circumstances , is a robbery of the property of the poor for the benefit ef the rich , and will , in the end , prove destructive to the happiness of all . I have stated the differences of opinion between ^ Mr . Clark and ' myself broadly , and as I understood him to express his meaning at tbe Stepney meeting ; if I am in error I will be most happy ~ to' be corrected . Mr . Clark will not be offended with me for reminding him that , when he was a factory operative in Lancashire , he did not then advocate that ' the duties of government were purely negative ; and when be advocated the Ten Hours Bill , he did not then contend that laizzie faire { or let everything alone ) was the wisest policy of a state . A study of the duties of government , and years of experience and reflection , may have entirely changed his opinions . So far as I am

      concerned , the more that I think of the subject' the more fully does it appear to my mind that the Zaiszes faire theory applied to a society in which all the land-and accumulated property - are in the hands of a few men , is the most heartless and destructive doctrine ever taught in any country . I may be , and probably am , in error , for I have lived long enough in the world to know that I have before now sincerely advocated erroneous opinions . The fact that I have often erred in judgment , makes me the more desirous of reasoning all differences of opinion fullj out ,-and when Mr . Clark has settled the question at issue ( as stated in my first letter ) and informed me how far I have correctly stated bis views as opposed to mine , nothing on earth will give me more pleasure than to continue the discussion in any way that may be mutually agreed on , and may seem most desirable .

      As regards a restoration of the defunct corn laws , I would oppose the reposition of a dnty on corn imported from abroad . But there is the broadest possible difference between restoring an abrogated corn law and government interference to regelate and protect labour . * Such difference I would erdeavour to make plain in a discussion on the general question . I would also suggest , that protection to labour has no more connexion with Toryism , that it has with Whiggiam , or Chartism ; and as hints fiom

      abroad sometimes serve to illustrate subjects at home , it may not be out of place to remark , that President Taylor ofthe United States ef America , — the president of a country in which Manhood Suffrage is the rule—has declared himself favourable to * protection to native industry , ' showing by the way that the" most democratic people in the word have elected for their first magistrate , an anti-Free Trader , in the sense in which free trade is generally understood in England ; aad here let me caution the metropolitan trades .

      Working men of Loudon , take good heed what you are about ; do not allow your movement to be mixed up with a movement in favour of a restored corn law , and always elect to preside at your meetings , one of your own body . Tour cause , it is true , is too important la . be easily damaged ; but never were times more critical than those in which we live . We are now having a faction and party struggle . Your interests are not much cared for by either of the struggling parties . It therefore becomes the more necessary that you contend the more cautiously , but firmly and rationall y , for what you think advantageous for your own and your country ' s interests .

      • AESASsraiTiOtf is Corsica . —A notorious Corsican bandit , named Tancredi , was a few days ago tried Before .-the Court of Assizes at Corsica , on the charge of murdering , at different times , a man named Morelli ; a man named Andre Natalli ; a man named Oonunique Martini ; and , finally , for attempting , on the 24 th of March , 1849 , to murder some -gendarmes . -The several - cases ' of murder were clearly proved against the prisoner ; and it was shown thatfor a long time he bad been accustomed to carry off young girls to caves and forests arid there commit violence on- them , that -he had levied contributions on the peaceable inhabitants of the villages , ttat- he-had committed so many excesses of all kinds , and had exercised such a system

      Mb. J. Bronterre O'Brien's Lectures. ^ T...

      Mb . J . BRONTERRE O'BRIEN'S LECTURES . ^ THE " NATIONAL B ^ Mr . O'Brien -having recovered from , his recent illness has resumed bis . lectures ih ' th ' e Institution , John-street , Fitzrdy-square ., Ori'Friday last , after an address fibm hum as" President ofthe . National Reform Loagao , the first quarterly , reporfc ; of the council of that body was read . It coinmenced by stating that notwathstanding the paucity of means which the council had had at their command for appealing to the public , and notwithstanding . the general indifference to political ag itation which had of late prevailed in the public mind , the register of the League contained nearly 140 subscribers . This

      number was thought to bo sufficiently large to afford a good' omen of' the success of the Xeague , especially when it was considered , that as the . ultimate aim ofthe Association was the establishment of fundamental social rights- ^ which have never yet been fully recognised in the world ; together with an untried system of political economy , the parties becoming members of the League were required to abandon many popular prejudices , and exercise their intellect in a somewhat comprehensive field of observation . After detailing the proceedings of the League ; since its institution in October last , the report alluded to the actual progress Which the , reforms it advocated were making in society . ' The doctrine that the land of the country should belong

      to the state , as . trustee for the people , and that i t should be gradually redeemed from the hands of private owners , was making way ; as also was the belief that a circulating medium , based on a gold standard of value , ' was radically unjust , andliad now become the . cause of great evils in Society . Li predicating the probable course of public events during the . present age , the report expressed the belief , that none of the . Reform movements of tho day , however triumphant they mi ght become , could give substantial benefit to the wealth-producers . They were mere party questions , in which the interests of landlords , money-lords , and profitists were conflicting for the mastery , but , in which , the interests or the useful labourer of

      society were totally overlooked . It was hoped that the anomalous arid contradictory assertions and theories of the prevailing political parties , would at length lead the ; working classes , to discover the real causes of their ; oppression- —namely , their present dependence on capitalists for employment , through the want of any adequate resources , for producing wealth and consuming it , ; independent of landlords and money-lords ; a defect in the social institutions'of the / world , which had now brought the labourer into a condition of Wages , slavery worse than feudalism , and with few advantages over the chattle-slavery of America or the Brazils . The only movement with which the League could cordially sympathise , was thatfor the attainment of

      the People s Charter ; because without tbe acquisition of Universal Suffrage , the undue assumptiori of political power ,, by the higher and middle classes , could not be successfully counteracted or prevented . It was hoped , too , that the historical experiences derived from recent continental events , will have disabused the industrious classes of the utter fallacy of expecting that any mere change in the name and form of a government , without an alteration in its principles and spirit , would work any beneficial change for them ; for while usurers , landlords , and profitists held their present power , it matters little who or what is nominally the government , because government would he but a machine in the hands of these parties , for the forcible suppression of the

      rights and privileges of the mass ofthe reople . The report wound up by an exhortation to the members not to relax in their efforts to promote the League in public estimation ; and not to contrast too hastily the magnitude of its designs with the feebleness of its existing means to accomplish themi . The conventional hypocrisy of the day might try to extinguish their aspirations with a sneer—but if they had faith in an harmonic system of society—if they believed that God had gifted man with powers adequate to workout his own terrestrial , as well as celestial salvation—if . they believe that Deity punishes men by their sins , as well as for them—and if they believed that the principles enunciated by the National Reform League would raise humanity

      from its present degradation , they will not cease to proclaim those princi ples to the world , wherever their voices could be heard , or their words read . Martyrdom was neither expected nor required ofthe followers of the League ; nor that they should recklessly run a-muck at the existing institutions of society . They should be wise as serpents , but harmless as doves . They were told to remember that all great changes in society came from below , and not from the higher classes ; and that such revolutions always commence with the minority , and not with the majority , which is always made up of the unthinking slavish herd of mankind , whose doctrine is expediency , and whose characteristic is compromise . Nor needed they to be ashamed of

      public criticism , because their principles could bear the tests ofthe true Christian , the true moralist , and the true philanthropist . To the dominant schools of political economy and jurisprudence they were opposed ; but those schools were opposed to Scriptural Christianity , and to practical morality . The doctrines and principles of the League would , for the first time in the history of the world , enforce the practical recognition of the equality , of human rights , and the reciprocity of human duties : they would necessitate justice between man and man , because under them honesty would indeed be found the best policy , as dishonesty would be its own punishment . " To those who looked askant at their proceedings , and were inclined hastily to

      prejudge them as destructives and anarchists , they might ask , where would be found better guarantees of compensation for displaced interests , than thoso the League had suggested 1 It must also he borne in mind , that the safety of the existing institutions of society is far frorii being unquestionable . In a country where so large ah amount of forced idleness arid poverty prevailed —; with their concomitant vices —where pauperism was sogeneral—and' where , iri one portion of its dominions alone , nearly three millions of people hadi recently , been daily fed by government , property , law , and order , could not be said to rest on very safe bases ; . The inembers of the League might hope , then , that many who now

      stood aloof would join their ranks ,. when they properly understood their purports and aims . The difficulties to he encountered were great . Their propagandism would be slow , because the heart as well as the head had to be converted . All important changes in public opinion and action required . time to bring about—to imagine otherwise , " would be to overlook all historical ; and even physical analogies . But let them get rid of sophistry and system-mongering—let them reason their great cause well out , and ultimately it wonld be won ! At the conclusion of the meeting the . president announced that he had resumed his Sunday evening lectures , at 72 , ISFewman-street ; where he invited parties to meet him in friendly discussion , on the | principles of social and political science .

      The Ballast Heaters.; ; A Meeting Of The...

      THE BALLAST HEATERS . ; A meeting of the following gentlemeri took place on Tuesday at the London Tavern : —Sir ' - ' James Dake , Bart ., MiP ., in the chair ; Mr ; -Pearson , M . P . ; Mr . Pewtress , Mr .. Mulafd , Mr . ' Harrison , Mr . Dakiri / Mr . John Wood , the Rev . Mr . Cattleyj Mr . " Mayhew , and Mr . Delarie . The object of the meeting was to take into consideration the state bf the ballast-heavers and lumpers employed on the Thames . Mr . Mayhew detailed at some length the distress which prevailed amongst the ballast-heavers and lumpers , inconsequence of the objectionable manner in which thej are at present paid for their laborious employment ; Mr . Pewtress entered into a statement of benefits

      derived by the coal-wMppers from the Act of Parliament passed for their protection , arid whichregulated the mariner iri which they were employed arid paid . He drew a strong contrast between their former and-their present condition . They had' created a fund of their own ; out of which they had established a school for their children and a benefit society ; and by a subscription of . a penny per man per ship they had formed another fund , which enabled them to grant pensions to the infirm members of their body . Nothing could be more gratifying than their clean arid respectable appearance whenever they met together . :.-. ;; The following resolutions were subsequently agreed to unanimously : — ; " ' '" ' ' ' ¦;'

      That the inquiries made by the Morning Chronicle into the state of labour and the poor having disclosed the great extent of misery and destitution which ' consequently prevails amongst the labouring classes , produced chiefly by the mode in which they are at present employed , .. and by the objectionable way in which their wages are paid , it is the opinion of this meeting that , without in , the . slightest degree interfering with the rights oi employers , some measures , should he taken to abolish the evils of the present system , and secure to the labourers the regular payment of their wages . ; ¦ .- . , ¦• .::, , ¦ That it appears that the , ballast-getters - in the employ of the Corporation of the . Trinity House are well paid , but that the ballast-heavers employed to shovel the ballast out

      of the Trinity House lighters are sufferers from the . objectionable systeiri by which they are engaged and paid . That a sub-committee be appointed , to communicate , with the Corporation ofthe Trinity House , and to ascertain whether , consistently with their regulations , the hallast-heavere cannot he placed under the control of the Trinity House in the same . manner as the ballast-getters . That tlie committee be also authorised to communicate with her Majesty's governmenV ' and to adopt such other measures as may be most conducive to the attainment ofthe' objects of the foregoing resolutions . The committee to eonsist of the gen tlemen , now-present ..,. ; - - , V : . , -: .-. The thanks of the : meeting were then unanimously voted / to-Sir- James Duke for his kind-and prompt attention to the objects of the meeting ; .

That request was complied with , but inconsequenco of some peculiarity ,. of riianner with which he handled the handkerchiefs , he ( Mr : Telfer )

      accuseo mmol stealing two of them , and the . prosecutor distinctly swore that upon that ; charge , being , made , theprisoner . threw down twohandkerchiefs , which formed a portion of those- which had'been shdwj to him over the counter ,, and which he had concealed under ; his coat . ' ; Miy Collier , made alengthy arid ingenious address . to tho jury , and the prisoner was acquitted ., Assault . —Two defendants , named Squires and Weeks , convicted at the December Sessions of assaulting "Williarii Hardwick , were . brought up for judgment . ' The prosecutor , ; a colonial agent , residing in South-street , Finsbury , had bought ofthe defendant Squiers two piarios , for one of which he had paid , and on his complaining that one , of the

      instruments was inferior in quality to theothery . the defendants went to his house , and baring used great violence to Mr . Hardwick , took away both pianos in a cart .. Mr . Parry appeared for Mr . Hardwick . The learned counsel stated that the defendant and his client had made an arrangement , by . which Spires was to pay down £ 23 , the price , of the " piano Mr . Hardwick had paid him for , and £ 10 costs ; Mr . Hai-dwick . wished it to be understood that Squiers retracted all the offensive , expressioris he had used in reference to him . —The learned judge was very glad such a course had been . adopted , and complimented Mr . Hardwick upon the spirit , he had exhibited throughout , the proceedings .. ¦ The £ 23 was then paid ; ' and a nominal sentence having been passed , the defendants were discharged ; . , '

      ¦ ExiBAonnraAitv . Case of Beooikg-ltitter-Imposition . —John Thomas Simpson Jones , 36 , a respectably -dressed man , but one of the most notorious begging-letter impostors in ' England , was - indicted for having obtained by false pretences two halves of a £ o Bank of England note , and also the sum of £ 3 , from Mr . John Collingridge , a gentleman of fortune residing at Sunbury . Mr . Phinn and Mr . Lempriere appeared for the prosecution ,. and Mr . Prendergast appeared for the prisoner . The prisoner pleaded autre fois acquit , ; but-as he was not p repared to put in that plea in writing , and refused to make any other plea , the Court ordered the ; plea of not guilty to be entered . —Mr . Phinn then proceeded to state the case to the jury . He said the character of the ' investigation they were about to enter upon was one

      which , though supported by very simple facts , was of considerable public interest an d importance , though not of frequent occurrence in a court of justice . The prisoner was charged in the indictment with having by false pretences obtained from the prosecutor certain monies ; and the false representations updri which he so obtained the money were contained in what were very well known as "begging-letters , " and it would appear that the prisoner was one of those pests who defrauded the charitable and benevolent portion of : the public b . V assuming false characters , concocting pitiful stories of woe , afSiction , and trouble , and appealing to compassionate feeling and sympathies , and who therebyporverted the stream of public charity fromi those channels in which for the ; interests of

      so-, ciety it was . desirable that it should flow . The prosecutor , Mr . Collingridge , was a gentleman who resided at Sunbury Villa , in this county , * and who also hada residence in Pulteney-street , Bath , and the prisoner having got possession of his Bath address fowarded him a letter thither ; but at that time , July last year , Mr . Collinridge was at Sunbury , and the letter was re-posted to him there . In consequence of that letter , Mr . Collinridge sent a post-office order for £ 3 in favour of a person named Brewer , to the Post-office at Gravesend ; and the circumstance of the letter having been sent to Bath gave rise to the supposition that the Bath Sessions had jurisdiction in the case , but the Recorder

      decided that the money had been obtained in Middlesex , and therefore the case was brought to this court for trial . —James Brewer stated that he was now a prisoner in Bath gaol , under a conviction for obtaining money by false pretences , or rnthor by begging letters . He had known the prisoner about three years . In July last they both lived at No . 21 , Lillington-street , Vauxhall-road , and he ( witness ) showed him a letter which Mr . Collingridgej the prosecutor , had given him , for treatment at the Bath Dispensary . Jones took down the address , and wrote a letter to Mr . Collingridge , and directed witness to proceed to Gravesend to post it . The letter was here put in ; it was as follows : —

      Gravesend , July 30 , 'id , Sib , —Permit me to address you in a case of charity at the earnest entreaty of James Brewer , a young man whom you have been very kind to on several occasions , and some months ago gave him £ 1 3 s . to take him to Leamington . He was ordered here for the benefit of sea bathing , but the air being too keen for his delicate frame , he has been advised to endeavour to gain admission to the Consumption Hospital at Brompton , near London . He is in very , distressed circumstances , and has no means of paying the fees of that institution , and is also indebted here to his landlady for board . Your kindness to him before induces him to hope that once more , and for tlie last time , you might render him some little assistance to enable him to make up £ 2 10 s ., all that he is deficient of . I have taken more than usual interest in his case , having given him £ 1 10 s .,

      and some linen . The writer then proceeded to ' request that an enclosure might be forwarded to the Gravesend Post-office for Brewer , as he ( the writer ) was about to leave for Scotland . —( Signed ) John Scott , M , D . ; Witness continued—He posted eight or nine other letters at the same timo as he' posted the one ; just read , and when he went to Gravesend , in a few days afterwards , he received several letters in answer to them , including one 'from Mr . Collingridge , enclosing a Post-office order for £ 3 * which he at once got cashed , and one enclosing £ 5 from the Queen Dowager . He : returned to London , and halved the money with the prisoner . Shortly afterwards he went to live at Bath , and the prisoner and a woman named Farr went to live with him . He was the party referredto in the letter , but it was

      all fictious about his wanting to get into the Brompton Hospital . The prisoner" wrote the letter . In cross-examination the witness said . he hadbeen a begging , letter impostor about'three years ;; , havingjbeen : led into it by a companion of the prisoner named Sullivan , but that he had not got nisliving by means of employment since 1843 ; in which year he was thrown from a coach in the Somerset-road , and was severely hurt . There were two charges against him at Bath ; he pleaded guilty to one , and was sentenced to four months ' imprisonment , with hard labour . Did not expect a mitigation of his sentence , if the prisoner was convicted . —Inspector Tate ; of the Bath constabulary ; andBrunswick Harrisori , a Bath officer , produced a quantity of begging letters which were found in

      Brewers ' s house . They likewise produced'a number of : " Court . Guides , " Dod ' s and Burke ' s " Peer- ^ ages , " and . Dodte 'M . Parliamentary Companions , " which were found there also . - ^ In ^ t he cross-examination of these officers ; it transpired that the - prisoner was apprehended on a charge of stealirig-a { fold watch . On searching Brewers ' s house , these etters were found . —Mr ; Collingridge proved having received the letter , and sent the" £ 3 . He should certainly not have sent it , had he hot believed the representations contained in the- letter were genuine . —Mr . Cours , postmaster at Gravesend , proved that the money was paid to the prisoner , who . received , the letter . There w - no Dr . ' Scott < at Gravesend . —From evidence then gone ' into to substantiate the other charge in the indictment , it

      appeared that whenatHath , the'prisoner had , by some 'irieans ,- become aware of the circumstances that Mr . Collingridge was ;; remotely ' related , to a family of that name m Northumberland , and ho at once - assumed the character of a , member - of that family , and wrote to Mr ; Collingrid ge . v . v 1 The letter stated the writer to ' be the son of the late'Rev . W ; C . Collingridge , of Newcastle ; and tliatthe had : resided for many years at Cape St . Mary , Western coast of Africa , where he had been engaged-iu mercantile pursuits . That by the upsetting of a shallop he had lost if 2 , 780 , belrig the savings of several years . The burning heat of the torrid zone had so injured his constitution , that he returned to England . The medical profession had advised him to try the benefit of the Bath waters . > His funds were exhausted , and he had no friends at Bath . . The writer . ' then in verv

      delicate terms , proceeds to ask for a gift , concluding with , I remain , sh , your obedient servant , JpHKHianiY CottiNObidqd . ' . Address , Mr . J . H .
