      _--ig- _^ -- _** n _-i TO THE RIGHT : HONOURABLE ( LORD : . _BROUGILiif _^; ; ' _. X _' . _' X / ., Msr Lokd , — "When your lordship opens ; , yonr mouth the world listens . Singular and versatile are your talentB , and , when on any great subject you bestow the force of yonr mind and the power of your eto-pKuce , y onr lordship has a purpose , although it sometimes pleases you to shroud that purpose in mystery . Itis not always at first glance apparent , whether your lordship happens to be in a playful or serious mood—whether you would be understood as Harlequin or Sir Oracle . Your ob . serrations in the House of Lords on the 19 th ult ., on ' the Exhibition of ihe Works of Industry of all

      Nations , to be holden in the year 1851 / may be jocns or serious . There seems to be a vain of playful irony so manifest , and well knowing what your lordship was about to say , the care you took to prevent even a ' supposition' that you were aiming to bring into disrespect' the plaything ' of royalty _, leads me lo suppose that , under the mask of Harlequin , Sir Oracle was speaking all . the while . For although , in feigning humility , you profess to be merel y ' a pupil of the Liberal school , ' none else would dare to unchair the master . The man lives Hot , who understands the o bjects and tendencies

      Oi that school , and the meanings and effects of ' cheapness , ' bet ; er than your lordship . It was natural , _knowing , as your lordship did , the grave truth you were about to reveal , that you shoald apologise , though indirectly , to the royal propeunder ofthe ' Exhibition ; ' although that caution on your part was sure to raise the very susp icion yon seemed most anxious to prevent . No man is better acquainted than your lordship with the inherent selfishness of the * tradesmen , shopkeepers , and manufacturers / _«** bo are _enarmoured with the principles of free trade . It was truly rich , my lord , to hear vour lavish encomiums on their' disinterestedness !'

      Their patriotism is really to be admired , when we see them so anxious to ' lower the prices of all the goods and wares which they make and you consume . This is rare news for yoar clients , the consumers ' But , my lord , I need not tell you , the producers are not such fools as you have represented . I thank you for the truth you tell them when you plainly say , ' no doubt the trading said manufacturing interests wiil lose a great deal presently , even though they may gain a good deal ultimately . ' A certain * present loss , ' a doubtful * ultimate gain , ' may sound like music in their lordships' ears , but cannot fail to stua the ears of' tradesmen , and manufacturers . ' "They will , ' your lordship proceeds , * bring

      their goods to a market , where they will be obliged to sell them at a cheaper price than ordinary , whilst tie foreigners , of all nation ? , will bring their goods to a market , where they will sell them for a price far dearer than any which they could hope to obtain in their own countries . ' So that the result of this * Tower of Bable' exhibition , according to the judgment of yonr lordship , is simply , a great gain to the foreigners , and a great loss to ourselves ! It is , in fact , pitting the whole world against England , at a game in which , it U certain , England must he the loserl Lord Brougham must have smiled , under the ro _; e _, when he eulogised the ' _disinterestedness ' of English producers I ,

      "Your lordship ' s promise of' ultimate gain * can be accepted only as a delusion ; for we all know , that loss begets loss , and that the principle which has its foundation in decrease , can never , at its capital , show increase . The ' ultimate gain , ' promised to the handloom Weavers , numbering 800 , 000 , has been thirty years a-comiog , aHd is now as far a-head as heretofore 1 May be , the' disinterested tradesmen , shopkeepers , and manufacturers' of the present day , will cast their _syes upon those wretched dupes of false philosophy , aad take warning . ' Down , down , down , ' is a lane , the only end of which is found in the pauper ' s grave . -

      _ . Many thanks , my Lord Brorgham _, from a Torkjshireman , for your honest translation into plain r _^ E _' nglish of this new * Tower of Bable , ' to be erected . __ "in the British metropolis . "N ever mind in which of " tlie parks it be placed . It will be , yonr lordship assures us , a temple erected to the goddess * Cheapness . ' Outside it may be gaudy ; inside it may , at first , exhibit the _magnificent productions of a congregated world . It will , after all , my lord , be a sepulchre , covering that dry commodity called dead man's hones I Fur . if there be truth in Adam

      bmith , * the wages of labour' will there find a grave Around that gorgeous sepulchre , royalty , aristocracy , and g . oldocracy may , for awhile , engage in sportive revelry . It would be well , if before that dance beg ins , they would calmly contemplate its end ! Such a * wealth of classes . ' means , my lord ( and no man knows it better tha _* i yourself ) the' poverty of peoples ; " and , although the forthcoming ' confusion of tongues' may , by those classes , ' be called ¦ a step in the right direction , ' it must lead , and your lordshi p knows it will lead , to their' dispersion ! '

      Tours is a useful hint at * great gain , ' by the introduction of ' new ideas ; ' telling ns , at the same time , that the certain loss will be in hard cash . - It is not very long since your methamatical friend , M . Arago , in company with M . Lamartine . _charaed . tne _French nation with the ' revolution oi _ideas _' - _^ _viz , "" killing citizens and _destroying , kings . These _Vid- _'as' continue to revolve—the end is not yet . myJordl __ May he your lordship ' s mind will _sufrgesta thought or two on that enigma _. One thing is as certain as the ' present great g ain to consumers , ' and the ' present great loss to _prodacer- _j' _^ the mental ingenuity of man will , by this ' _exhibiti'Jn _, be everywhere on the rack to gain the prizes _thereby ; promised . It strikes me , my lord , yonr genius will not slumber all the while . He who so lately astounded the world with new theories on

      light wiil not hide his mental power in darkness , when more then ever the light is needed . Your friend , the _Clia » : ce'Ior of the Exchequer , who sees , in long-continued ' cheapness , ' nothing but storms a-head , now that yon , Sir Oracle , bave spoken'Down , d * wn , dawn will come tbe prices '—must be provided with anew method of meeting quarter-day ; else salaries , pensions , and dividends will make bim sta _** d aghast . Your ' patriotic and disinterested ' mind must be contriving a new ' calculating machine' to relieve your friend , Sir Charles , on those trying days . I am not skilled in the mechanical arts ; a dunce may , however , sometimes throw ont a sound hint to a philosopher . I would suggest , that your machine be constructed on a rapidly _descendin _*' ' siiding scale . ' The only fitting material I know of , to make it perfect in operation , is

      S . P . O . N . G . E . ! _ITn-re is an old nursery proverb of' universal' application ; it would be well that royalty should listen : « Children should never play with sharpedged toolsi' The patronage of this great societya Prince feasting with congregated Lord Mayorsmay be all very excellent , as we know they are very dazzling things ; but as your lordship very quaintly observes , it is possible to be ' penny wise and pound foolish !'

      My lord . I owe yon a debt of gratitude on the part of the producers of this country . It was kind in yoa , the master in tbe free trade school , so clearly to indicate Us aim and object . - 'Down , down , down will come the pricer , —and of consequence ' down , down , down' must come the wages 1 Whilst your clients , the consumers , are chuckling , my clients , the working men , are thinking . '—I have the honour to remain , my lord , yonr lordship ' s most obliged servant , March 21 , 1850 . Richard Oastiujr .

      Four Sousd Reasoxs Wht The Malt Tax Ougn...

      Four Sousd Reasoxs wht the Malt Tax _ouGnt TO be Repealed . —First , the farmer would 6 e enabled to sell his second and middling barley , all for being malted , for feeding cattle aHd sheep , in--stead of selling it for grinding purposes at a low price ; and he well knows , if the duty were oft his barley , it would enable him , through the increased demand , to realise Ss . per qr . more for every description he now grows , wliich extra price would pay the rent of everj acre he cultivates for barley . —Second , the malster ' s trade is now confined only to the best samples of barley ; for he is charged the same duty on middling and low qualities as he is for the best sorts , which curtails his trade . He would be able to make three times the quantity ol malt ( duty free , ) and employ three times tbe number of labourers in the manufacture of malt ; and this in the _maltinjr districts , d urine the winter six

      months , would considerably reduce the poor-rates , and find a greater share of work for the industrious classes . It would appear monstrous for the excite officers to go into every watermill and windmill in the kingdom , and tax the wheat eighty-five per cent _, before the miller could get his flour ready for inarkct ; but so it is with the malster , however _unjust to the consumer . —Thirdly , the repeal ofthe milt tax would enable the brewer , through thc extra demand for bear and porter , to brew aud sell one-third more than he now does , consequently UlOre hands would be employed in erery departiuen p of his concern . —Fourthly , the labourer and mechanic now pay indirectly to government tffe enormous imposition of about _eijrhty-fivc per cent , upon their liquid food ( beer . ) - _-. 'A _' _otsess _EiBcxios _. r-Lurd Seymour has been re . elected for Totness . "

Wright be requested to correspond with the Chartists of Edinburgh , Glasgow , Dundee , Perth , and Arbroath , and ascertain their opinion as to the propriety of calling a general Conference of delegates from the Chartists of these towns , to devise the best means for the revival of Chartism in connexion with the _"National Charter Association . " This was seconded by Mr . George Smart , and carried unanimously . —

      Thc chairman suggested , that in the event of the Chartists of these towns being favourable , a local Conference of delegates , from all organised bodies of working men of the city , should be called , to have their opinion ns to the best means to adopt for the revival of the morement . —Agreed to . It was then moved , — " That Mr .

"Agreed to . The meeting then adjourned till the following Monday evening .

      _Re-oroasisation of the EmsBURon Chartists . —On the 26 th ult ., a special meeting ofthe friends of democracy was held in the Lund Company ' s HaU , for the purpose of considering what line of policy they ought to adopt , best calculated to accomplish a thorough union of the Chartists of this city , and the speedy triumph of democracy . This meeting , although partaking more of a private character than otherwise , being called by circular , was nevertheless numerously attended , the large room heing nearly full , while the spirit displayed by the numerous speakers in the discussion on the merits of local _wmw national organisation , left no room for doubting as to what were the _feelings of all

      present .

      Derby . —On Tuesday evenin * a grand Chartist festival was held' in the spacious hall of the Mechanics' Institute . Upwards of two hundred friends of tbe cause sat down to an excellent tea , which being over , the ball was cleared for the meeting , and notwithstanding the charge for admission was sixpence , the applicants were so numerous that it was deemed advisable by the managing committee to close the doors , as the numbers would be too great for the ball . Mr . _Healey wa 3 appointed to the chair . Mr . Short read the following letter from Mr . Reynolds , who , with Mr . M'Grath , was announced to be present : — " My Dear Friend , —I am truly grieved to be compelled to break my appointment-with the kind friends at Derby . I have charged my esteemed friend , M'Grath , to explain to you the reasons : and I am sure you will allow the excuse to be valid . 2 Jo other earthly reason over which I exercise any control , would possibly

      prevent me from attending the meeting . But in a month ' s time I will make up for it , by visiting you , and remaining two days in Derby , so as to speak one night upon the social condition of the country , and the other night upon the political aspect of affairs . I take leave to forward a guinea towards the Derby Chartist funds . —Believe me , to remain yours sincerelv and fraternally , G . W . M . Reynolds . —To Mr . L . Faire .

Two meetings have already taken place at the Running Horse _, ~ "G _* ing-street , at which house tbey intend to meet every Monday evening , to transact business and enrol members . It is their intention to form a fund in conjunction with the members of the Social Reform League , for the purpose of having lectures on the Charter and Social Reform .

Scotland , —Our English - brethren have again unfurled the glorious banner of Chartismthe National Charter Association ig again ih existence—the oppressed and down-trodden peop le of Ireland , so . long apathetic and indifferent' to the true" interests of their country , are now on the move , and the " good old cause" is progressing rap idly _, among them ; and why ; should we , the ' people of Scotland , -remain idle spectators of this g lorious inauguration of another national movement ? I know that many are dispirited by the failure of the agitation of 1848 , and think now that all efforts aro useless . But let us ask ourselves , in sober seriousness ,

      what have we done to merit any other result ? I will not deny that many individual Cliar iists have done their duty ; but as a party—as a people—what noble sacrifices have we ever made— -to what stern , determined , and continuous national movement can we refer , as a justification of our conclusion that we ought to have succeeded better—that we ought now to be free ? Ho w few of us can say that we entered heart and soul into the movement , determined to act as if life itself depended upon our individual efforts ? Have not our agitations hitherto been more the result of temporary excitement , than of calm deliberation , and stern determination to achieve political freedom ? Men who have morel * - attended our meetings , and contributed not even a

      tenth part ofthe sums they spent otherwise on useless , perhaps hurtful _indigencies , will now turn aside , broken-down and dispirited , and refuse their aid in another struggle for their rights . This should not be , and if they would only call calm reflection to their minds , this would not continue to bo tbe case . Liberty cannot be won in a day ; the tyrants who now withhold our rights will not be easily made to surrender , aiid if the people desire to be free , tliey must continue stern , and determined to agitate till freedom is obtained . The immediate cause bf the agitation of ' 48 was the French Revolution , which burst upon Europe like ' a flash of lightning , and

      which was effected in Paris almost without a struggle . The people of England were deceived thereby ; they thought that they should succeed as rapidly _antf as easily as the people of France ; and because this success did not immediately crown their efforts , they are now content to remain in abject slavery . Let us turn again to France , and there we will find the people deceived by that "special" humbug Louis Napoleon ; the attempted revolution of June completely frustrated ; many of their best and bravest leaders imprisoned , or compelled to remain as exiles in other lands ; yet they were not so dispirited as we , they continued the noble struggle , and the late elections tell with what success . The

      enemies of freedom thought to divide the red sea and pass through to victory , but they were overwhelmed in its mountain waves . Who is so foolish as to think that this result has been brought about without much suffering , much patient perseverance , many sacrifices , and much self-denial among the people of France ? Their best friends were shot down like dogs in the streets of Paris ; their most talented and true patriots heavily fined , and subjected to vexacioua imprisonments ; their schoolmasters dismissed ; their best magistrates dismissed from office , and every where persecution met the true democrats in the face ; but still they nobly struggled in the midst of all these discouraging circumstances , and victory will soon be theirs . Wait a little longer . ,

      Let us then , who boast of our wisdom , and of our superior intelligence , but persevere as they have done , and victory will crown our united efforts . The cause is prospering well in England ; it is now taken up , for the first time , in thc sister country , and the reports iri the Irishman show-that good is being done . Let us then , the Chartists of Scotland , resolve to unite with these , our brethren , solemnly determining to make one last , one great , one glorious effort , and tho _catise is won J Never at any former period in the history of Chartism , was there so sure a prospect of the nations of Scotland , England , and Ireland , combining in one great movement , as that which now _presents itself . Let each , and all of us , resolve tbat this effort shall te made . The men of

      Aberdeen are organising , and so are the men of Edinburgh , * let Glasgow , Dundee , Paisley , Perth , Montrose , Arbroath , and the other towns , resolve forthwith , to join the national movement . Meetings may easily be got up throughout Scotland . Let Edinburgh , for instance , send two of their number to Aberdeen , and let Aberdeen send two to Edinburgh , and so throughout . Let two or three of the earnest Chartists of every town resolve at once to make a beginning , and the movement must succeed ! I will not expatiate on what the people , as a whole , could do , but I will say that a few earnest determined men could easily arouse their own localities ; and if these few did their duty , throw their whole energies into the cause , the mass of the people would soon join them , and continue till

      victory was won . Ilouse then , men of Scotland , you are still slaves , the cause is still ns good and as righteous as ever it was , your duty is still unperformed , do it . Continue to boast of Bruce—continue to be proud of Wallace—respect tho memories of the glorious martyrs of Scotland , who died for civil and religious liberty , but , above all this , more glorious and nobler far it is , to emulate their actions , and to follow their example .

      Tne Miners Of The United Kingdom. To Tne...

      TnE MINERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . TO TnE EDITOR OP TUE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —The miners of thia district , together with those of Lancashire , Staffordshire , Yorkshire , and Ayrshire , in Scotland , are evincing some determination to seek from the government a better protection for their lives and health than what has hitherto been accorded them , and in accordance with this view it has been determined to petition the Legislature again , ( a copy of the petition appeared in the Star of a recent date ) . The miners of Northumberland , Durham , Lancashire , and Cheshire , have also agreed to send a deputation of miners to London , with a view to enforce upon the attention of the government the absolute necessity of a speedy settlement of the

      question , and the danger of delay . The deputation will meet in London on the 8 th or 10 th of April ensuing , and would feel great pleasure in having as many petitions as possible forwarded during tlieir stay in tho metropolis , the period of which will not , perhaps , exceed a fortni ght or three weeks at most . To save time , and also to ensure a greater certainty , every district had better forward their petitions to the respective members who represent their town or county where they are situate ; but if not so disposed , they can be sent to any other member such parties may select . Perhaps among the several members friendly to a measure of supervision of mines and collieries it mi ght appear invidious to specify any particular one ; but for the benefit of those who may not be acquainted with the names of those parties friendly to the miners in this

      respect , I shall put down the names of tho following members as likely to be in attendance on their Parliamentary duties at the time the deputation will be in London : Mr . O'Connor , Mr . T . S . Duncombe , ( who it ia expected will be able to attend after Easter ) , Mr . Hume , Mr . W yld , Mr . Aglionby , and Mr . Brotherton . Petitions forwarded open at both ends , and addressed to any of the above at the Ilouse of Commons , will very probably be attended to at the same time ; a letter should be sent to the member selected apprising him of the favour committed to his care . These particulars havo been thought necessary , seeing that it will require the most extensive exertions on the part of the miners to meet successfully tbe opposition of the coal _pronrietors , many of whom are members of-the

      Legislature , and whose influence ramifies to a con-8 ' iderabe extent . The deputation will attempt , by calling upon the several members friendly to the providing of an efficient inspection of mines , to bring their united influence to bear upon the members of Her Majest y ' s government , and thereby impress them with a conviction of the necessity of eitber bringing ih a bill themselves , or to favour the introduction of a bill by some other member of the house . To work , then , ye minerswho have not yet stirred in the matter , - consider this as a life and death question , aftecting , as it does , the whole body ot miners in Great Britain , and follow tbe noble set

      example you in the last week ' s Star , by the miners of Yorkshire and A yrshire ; respond to the call made to you by Mr . G . Brown , of Wakeheld , and if not possible to send an individual or two to assist the deputation , do not neglect the important duty of forwarding , your petitions , and likewise all authentic information upon tlio real condition of the ventilation of your respective districts , so tbat the deputation may have every assistance likely to help forward tlie general question . As the deputation cannot give tlieir address while in London , until tbe publication of next week's Star , all communications can , in the interim , be sent- ( marked , "Miner ' s Deputation . ") to Mr .

      w . ¦ _Jixoii , ; _l-M ,. lligli Holborn , London , who will no doubt , be , careful to band them , to the deputation when called for . Miners ! arouse ye to the work let it be forcibly impressed upon your m ' _tula . - The success of the struggle depends upon eaoh and all doing their very best . Remember this , and forward your petitions , your information , aud any _litclc cash you can spare , that tbe good cause may not be allowed to retrograde through your supineness and apathy . Yours , & c ,. M . Junii .

      To The Admirers Of The People's Charter....

      TO THE ADMIRERS OF THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . Fkiends , —To those of you , who , like ourselves , have been for many years past patiently and diligentl y struggling for the promotion ofthe People ' s Charter , and who have a sincere and anxious desire for its success , it must bo a source of uumingled paiu that the period of its national adoption even yet appears to be so remote ; and with you Jt must be , as it is with us , a matter of the utmost importance to consider whether in the future it will not be advisable to give to our advocacy and general policy a comp lexion more genial and proselytising , and to our whole proceedings such improved direction , as past experience may have shown to be indispensable not only to the triumph of our cause , but as an absolute preliminary to the nationalisation of our party .

      The People ' s Charter is , in itself , the most perfect embodyment of the principles upon which to base a constitution that has come under our notice , and has in it nothing repugnant to the theory of the representative branch of our governments , nor to the healthy and vigorous genius of tho British people . Nay , more—every proposition which it contains recommends itself from its simplicity and fairness , and from its reasonableness and justice , to the adoption of tho nation .

      The Charter , too , has the advantage of being analagous in its spirit ; and , in its legitimate interpretation of all those theories of representative authority , the struggles for wliich are the most glorious reminiscences in the annals of England . It was this theory of self-government that , rudel y understood , and in a modified sense , dictated at Euneymede , the demand for Magna Charta , and which , descending throug h successive generations , at last caused itself to be acknowledged , in degree , in a chapter of our history , written hy the bold hand ofthe Commonwealth , and in the royal blood of the first Charles . The

      theory of the People ' s Charter—representative government—which , understood differentl y at different periods , has been striving for supremacy for many ages , and as the nation has advanced it has been partially adopted , and all thoso who have had the power to enforce their claim to be recognised as part of the body politic , have been admitted within the sanctuary ofthe constitution . Tho last great national effort to enlarge the circle of the enfranchised body , was that which eventuated in the Reform Bill , and which conferred political power on the entire commercial and trading classes , together with a small portion of the more

      favoured , of the labouring classes . Tins measure , however , carefully excluded five-sixths of the maleadult community , and it was hoped , by the Whig framers of that Act , that by placing the governing power in the hands qf those classes who conjointl y hold the property : of the country , that the mere labourers might be thus continuously excluded , and that those antiquated institutions , of wrong and fraud , by which the oligarchy have for centuries beon ablu to sustain themselves at the expense of the nation , might thus bo preserved from the innovating hand of the rude democracy . Prom the period ofthe Reform Bill , however , has to be dated the commencement of that strusralo on tlio part of

      tho enlightened section of the ' manual-labour class ; tlie sentiment of which embodied itself in the form ofthe People ' s Charter , and which has since given rise to so much agitation , and well-founded discontent , in different parts of the United Kingdom , but from which no immediate or practically beneficial result has yet transpired ; nor does it appear to us , that an agitation conducted solely b y a section of our own classes , ever can produce any great national " consequence . An opinion has hitherto prevailed in the agitation for sue Charter , that the middle classes were by feeling , instinct and interest , hostile to the pi-ogress of'democracy , and that they were , as a class ' ,

      more the enemies of the . labouring classes than the landed or any other power in tho country ; and based upon this notion , thc most terrific denunciations have been thundered forth , and even now continue to be thundered forth , from Chartist platforms , against these men , aud as we take it , to the detriment of Chartism , aiid in opposition to fact . As a class , we are of epinion that tho middle is liko the aristocratic and the working classes , true to its own covnictions , ideas , an dopinions , and in contradistinction to which it cannot act . In this respoet it resenibles . all mankind . The exceptions to this rule arc numerous individual cases ; but , in thc case of tho e divisions of society known as classes , there never has been such an exception . Men who tiro

      true to their own thoughts are true to the world us they see it , and to change their opinions the world must be shown to them frorii a new-point of view . It is quite true , that there- arc numerous instances * vliere ,. « 3 the employers of labour individual members of the middle classes have and do now , practice , great cruelty towards those _wlioui they employ ; hut such cruelty ia not tho crime _of-v class , but rather the natural result of great and alm pst _^ irresponsible power , placed in the hands of men of hardened- and cruel natures , and who . in any station ' of life would prove themselves below the average of humanit y . The -middle c m , ih i ought to be-treated accordingly ¦ . Before wc can endorse tho wholesale and- sweep-

We must , ; before we can join in this untrue , _unphilosop h ' cal , and , therefore , unwarrantable denunciation , obliterate from our minds , the grand literary monuments , in the midst of which we live , the scientific discoveries , mechanical inventions , aiid progressive civilisation of this day must first depart from pur visions . . We must forget the ateam engine , railway , and electric telegraph , by which time and space have been annihilated , ere we can consent . to regard in this class the enemies of the human race . - ' - " il ' - _' i ' - -- *

      To us ifc appears that the only hope ofthe democratic movement is in a sincere co-operation with that section of the middle classes , who are anxious to promote the cause of freodom . We feel that there is amongst the middle , as , indeed , there is amongst all classes of the English nation , a numerous party , who are anxious for the elevation of the labouring classes ; and we are firmly convinced , that without the aid of such reformers , agitations may bo prolonged with no other fruits to the democratic part y than those which have already fallen to their share . The National Charter League will , therefore , make it one of its primary objects to create a friendly intercourse with all those , without reference to

      classdistinction , who are labouring to bring about a change in our representative system . Goodness of heart , and soundness of intellect , aire not the peculiar attributes of class , but are common to all God ' s creatures , and wherever they may be found the League wiU appreciate and reverence them . The League eschews all violence , whether of acts or of language , satisfied that already the causo of the Charter has suffered in every sense from what have been practised and said in its name . Ithas no confidence in any other than peaceable means for the accomplishment of its object , and will not permit , at its meetings , the utterance of sentiments

      at varaince with this principle . Tho League will co-operate for the promotion of such reform as may seem to it likely to hasten the final accomplishment ofthe People ' s Charter . The League invites the assistance of all those patriotic working men who agree with its objects , and approve Us intended lino of action . The council undertakes , on its own part—whilst it will not , in any instanco , shrink from its duty—nevertheless , to conduct the League clear of the law , and so to manage its affairs , that no man , by connexion with it , shall compromise cither his liberty or personalreputation . _Ali-reo _EAiRcmtn , .

      -— Iirani Emigration. To The Editor Op T...

      - — _iirani EMIGRATION . TO THE EDITOR OP THE HULL ADVERTISER . Thrico is he armed who hath his quarrel just , And he but naked though locked up in steel , Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted . Sir , —You will confer a favour upon your humhle correspondent by ' allowing me a portion of your space in you next issue . During the last few weeks , the borough of Hull has been agitated upon the question of Emigration . On Monday last my attention waa attracted to a placard , posted outside the office of tho Hull Herald , announcing a lecture upon the above subject in the Town HaH , on Monday evening last . . Being desirous of obtaining some information upon the subject of emigration , I was induced with this motive , and this alone , to attend . With , all duo deference

      tothe lecturer ,. I must confess my anticipations were , to a certain extent , realised . The lecture con . sisted of details and urgent appeals to those parties favourable to the project , to enter into an association to carry out the same . Looking at the lecture , as a whole , au idea crossed my mind , ifc was an assertion that the exigencies of the times imperatively demanded speedy recourse to emigrationnay , it was an assertion of the lecturer , " that it was thc only thing that could be done to maintain the prosperity of Great Britain . " . At the conclusion , hearing the audience invited to submit questions , and that the lecturer was anxious to give the fullest information possible , I availed myself of the privilege , by submitting tho following plain

      straightforward question , viz .: — '• Was nofc the resources of our own country adequate to our requirements ?" observing that I was aware that emigration was not a very popular subject—that I did not wish to take advantage by any subtle mode of attack or cunningly devised question . . The only method by wliich the subject could be rendered popular and acceptable was , by affording every facility for a full , fair , and free inquiry into its merits and demerits . If it would not bear the test of examination , sooner or later , it would find its level amongst thc things that were . If my mind was correctly informedand I derived my information from some ot the most eminent statistical -writers there was in the country—our resources wero more than adequate

      to meet the requirements of three times our present number of inhabitants—I alluded to Sheriff Allison , the celebrated author of " The History of Europe " —Mr . Porter , the author of " The Progress of the Nation . "—Mr . Colqhuon , < S _* c , & c . Now , Sir , unless this is explained away by the advocates of emigration , I am perfectly justified in saying , that the great evil to be compiained of is , the unjust distribution , and nofc a deficient production of wealth . But what answer did I receive ? If it possessed one quality more than another , it was an elaborate struggle to evade and shirk thc question . It was pregnant with the most specious sophistry which Mr . S . was capable of using . When I rose to _t-xpress my disapprobation to the answer I had

      received , Mr . Foster , the impartial (?) chairman , distinctly gave me to understand that my question had been answered , and refused to hear me again . If , Sir , this is the way theso philanthropists clioke inquiry into the sincerity of their professions , their policy its suieidieal , and I appeal to the -working classes of Hull to suspend their co-operation , until they know more of this emigration scheme of Mr . Sheppard , late editor of the Eastern Counties Herald . Let them pause and interrogate themselves , ns to vshether Mr . S . is , or is not , actuated by motives of private lucre . My object in writing this letter is , to put my fellow townsmen on their guard , in whom they confide , and to obtain that justice through the columns of your journal , which wns denied me at tho Town nail .

      If Mr . Sheppard considers there is a surplus population dependent upon the State for support , let him endeavour to obtain the assistance of Lord Brougham , and commence a series of lectures to the members of tho Civil List , upon self-reliance . In tho noblo lord he will find a very able coadjutor ; and , by the bye , it would not be amiss for Mr . Sheppard to commence with , to prevail upon his lordship to surrender his retiring pension of- _£ 5 , 000 per annum , which he receives for one year ' s servitude ,-as Lord High Chancellor . Let Mr . Sheppard adopt this course , and he will he moving in the right direction . If Mr . Sheppard will only furnish the public with evidence , in support of his position ,

      through the columns of this paper , I will endeavour to give ocular demonstration that , at best , emigration is only temporary and expensive relief to the State , and only tends to conskrvi * a system of corrupt finance , which , ere long , must be reduced — tho Suffrage extended — the Game Laws abolished—and the law of entail and primogeniture repealed . We shall then be approximating to that system of government which ' will givo permanence and stability to the domestic comfort of the working class . I am , Sir , yours truly , George Candblet ,

      BOAT-STREET . — " Jeames T IX TROUBLE . "—A footman in the service of J . Adams , Esq ., of Elyplace , Holborn , was placed at the bar under the following circumstances : —The inspector deposed that on Monday evening , about half-past seven o ' clock , the prisoner came to him drunk , and commenced telling him something about a game at skittles , a £ 10 note , and his master ' s bank book . Having learned with difficulty where tho skittleground was , ho ( the inspector ) sent for tho landlord to see if he knew any thing of the affair . On his arrival at the station , from " what he stated , it appeared that tbe prisoner had been sent to post some letters , and to pay into his * master ' s b _>» uk a £ 11 ! note . Before doing either of these duties he must needs enter into a public-house , where he met with

      some acquaintances . A game af skittles was proposed , no doubt by sharpers , who had caught sight of the bankbook , and tlie Challenge was immediately accepted by tho prisoner . In a short time the beer , being handed- rouud iu great quantities , the prisoner was found . m . ' the skittle-ground dead drunk , and his companions Wore gone . When he came to himself he commenced raging at tho landlord , telling him that his house was a gambling liouse , and that he had beeii robbed . in it , that he would go to the station and tell'the police of it . Tho inspectus did all iii' his power to quiet the stormy rage of the prisoner , but it was bf no avail , and when spoken to he ' only became the more unmanageable , so ho "thought tite best way would bo to lock him up .-rMr .

" As persons are continually disappearinar no oris tats how , it may not be out of place to consider whether tk burking system is not still carried on to a great extent . Hart it not been for the terrible discoveries made on _Itefe and Hare ' s trial , there can be no doubt that thousand would have heen sent into the next world in order to lerf doctors'with human flesh , so tbat they ( the doctors ) _mV-ia fill their pockets at the expense of sutforing- _liumanitr _. This dissection , our readers should know , forms one ot the wry ' _ucratiue emoluments proceeding from Ac-spit * * _jm * tke . ' For instance , tlie professor of anatomy _ptij-s _, we _tfi say , eight or ten guineas for a dead body , and then nubs fifty or sixty out of it from the medical students who bit paid their money in order to find out , as thev are told , tfci

      cause of disease in a dead body !! Was there ever a mo » infamous fraud 1 Where is the doctor who knows liow to cure a disease from dissection ?
