      TO THE WORKING CLASSES . IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL . * Tfe are always gratified in noticing the laudable _exertiotis ' of the industrious and provident among our fellow-labourers in the social vineyard , to avert from _zlitau & _elves and £ uniHcs , as far as human foresight may ie , the calamities attendant upon an old age of destitution , or a period of wearisome inactivity and _uselessziess , through sickness or accident ; and we will venture to say , that up to the extreme limit of what is called the - middle class of society , there is no method so likely to attain the object as the institution of securely based andjudiciously regulated Benefit Societies . - _Ourattentioa was some time since called to the subject by tbo _jiroceediDg 6 of one accordant with our views , enrolled jondcr tlie title of ' THE _BOYAL OAK BEXEFIT -SOCIETY , ' and established at tlie Mitre Tavern , St . Martin _' s-lane . The advantages proposed to the memiers appear to be calculated _apon a scale of liberality shat requires and deserves extensive support . From the result of our examination of _tl ; eir rules , and the satisfactory cxx'ianatious _givca as regards their pracsical _operations , ire do not now hesitate to recommend the society to every industrious aad prudent man as _ligkly deserving attention , wlietlier viewed with _lefcrtnce to its immediate or its prospective advantages .

      1 hereby direct tnat all monies payable tome , as _treasurer t ' j the Chartist Co-operative Land Fund , mast be transmitted , as follows : —Either hy Bank order or Post-office order , to the "care of Fcargus O'Connor , Esq ., SMO Strata ' , London ; " _tmi payable to me , "V » . P . Roberts . " That is , that my signature shall be required to each order . This direction is plain . For instance , say that Edward Hob-son , of Ashton , has £ 10 to transmit ; he is to transmit the same to Mr . O'Connor , by Bank letter or Post-office order , made payable to W . P . Roberts That order I can sign when Pgo to London , or when a parcel of them are sent to me . The two only things required to secure the triumph of Labour ' s battle are ,

      union among the narking classes , and underiating honesty and punctuality on the part of those- who have the management of their affairs . I therefore adopt this plan , that we may haTe upon each other as ninny saiataiy checks as possible . This is advisable , at much for our omi mutual satisfaction , as for the _satisfaction of the subscribers . 1 therefore request that these plain and ample instructions nay be punctually attended to in all cases . To Bare additional postage , each letter containing a money order , may also contain a list of the respective sums , and all other information necessary for the general secretary , Mr . Wheeler , to hare ; which letter Mr . O'Connor will duly forward to him . This done , there can be no puzzle about the accounts . W . P . _Robebts , T reacurer .

      All orders should be made payable at ISO , Strand , London . —W . P . B . [ The above mode has been adopted at my suggestion , in consequence of the endless trouble I bare had , cuing to some parties sending- me Post-office orders payable to my _ordtr ; and some to Air . Roberts' order . Observance of the above very simple rule will insure uniformity , satisfaction , and protection . There is a difficulty at the branch Post-offices about getting monies , when the orders are not signed by the persons to whom they are made payable . Feakocs _O'CcxxobJ

      The New Scotch Poor Law. "Laws Grind The...

      THE NEW SCOTCH POOR LAW . " laws grind the poor ; and rich men rule the laws . " Tbe Bill for the amendment of tho Scotch Poor Laws received the Royal assent on Monday last . That measure of flagrant injustice , and craftily-designed oppression , is therefore now latv ! It will not be amiss to sec what me _satuke of that law is . Under the old system the relief of the poor was in the hands of the Kirk Session . In town parishes this power was nominally in the hands of the magistrates ; but these generally left tha management to the

      Kirk Session . The lurk Session is an ecclesiastical court of peculiar character , having legal jurisdiction within the parish , and having authority to impose and fix the amount of assessments ; place " paupers on the roll ; " and fix tho amount of " aliment , " or relief , to be allowed them . Against the decisions of the Kirk Session appeal mi ght be made , under tlie old law , to the Court of Session—the highest legal court in Scotland , whose judgments were final . The Kirk Session is composed of the minister of the parish , the elders , and the heritors , or landholders . The elders are elected for life hy the Kirk Session

      itself . Under the new few , the management of the poor , is for all effective purposes , confided to the 6 amc hands , —the Kirk _SessioD , _—undcranothcr name : that of Parochial Boards . Whether these Parochial Boards shall be _constitute exactly as the Kirk Ses-

      The New Scotch Poor Law. "Laws Grind The...

      sions _luweiJteretoforebcen , depends upon themselves : whether thene shall be change , or _nochange , depends upon whether the funds shall _beeaiscd-l g . usscssmmt , or as _ItUltsrto by K irk-door collections , and voluntory « _attilwivKH » -. but whether there shall be anassessment will depend upon , tho . Parochial Hoards . Until an assossment has been resolved on , the ParochialiBsards will consist of " the persons who , if this Act had not been passed , would li _» ve been entitled to administer the laws for the relief _^ f the poor in such parish : " that is tlie Kirk Session is to retain Us

      authority ' under another name . After an assessment has-been rc . < olved on , the _ParochiaLBoards in burglial ( town ) parishes are lo be composedof a given numberof " managers" to be olccttd'by the persons assessed , together with four persons to he nominated by the magistrates , and four more'by the Kirk Session in each parish . The numberof _^ managers , witli the qualification and mode of elcctkn , is to be fixed in each wise by the Board of Supervision . In

      landward ( country ) parishes , tlie newiboard is to be made up of heritors of .- £ 20 a year nnd upwards ; the Provost and Bailies of any royal burgh in tke parish being assessed to the poor , and not more than six members of tho Kirk Session , —together with as many more members as the Board of Supervision shall think fit , to be elected by such heritors and occupiers as are not themselves qualified to be members .

      Now , here it will be seen , tliat to all intents and purposes the Kirk Session in -each parish will continue , as before , the administrators of the law . A majority has only to _xote that there shall be no assessment , and they retain their power unchanged . Even if an assessment is resolved upon , the Kirk Session and the heritors , —partners in fraud and injustice , —will still retain the "lion ' s share" of power . Where assessments are . resolved upon , the number of managers , their qualification , < tc ., will be fixed hy the Board of Supervision . The composition

      of that hoard ( which we shall presently describe ) , will show our readers that anything like equal right and equal justice guiding the decisions of that Board are net to be thought of . The fact is , this bill is designed to perpetuate power in the hands of those who hare , hitherto so vilely abused the trust reposed in them by the law , ruling the poor with a rod of iron , and condemning the indigent , the aged , and the helpless to the most wretched state of existence . Are such the men who should be entrusted with the guardianship - of the poor ?

      Wc have bcfaro-tinie shown the way m which the poor have been hitherto treated by the robbers and hypocrites who will have to constitute the Parochial Boards under the new law . Wc have shown that in the parishes where the poor were best provided for , old men , and widows with families , have been allowed such munificent sums as Is . Cd ., 2 s ., and 2 s . Gd ., weekly ; that in five counties containing a popula - tion of 310 , 926 , the average allowance was but 2 _Jd . a week ; and in the parish of Ciiech , in

      Suthcvlandshire , the poor received as little even as one shilling yearly : or something less than a farthing per ' week Tliesc damning facts sufficiently testify , without repeating the horrible tales of individual and general suffering which have already appeared in this paper , or adding fresh statements of a like horrible character ; these facts , exhibiting the amount of " relief hitherto provided for the miserable and impotent , show plainly the incompetence of the Kirk Sessions and heritors to be entrusted with the administration

      of the law ; and the certainty that if they are so entrusted , they will continue to keep the poor in that state which has been described as '' something indescribably vile arid abject , " the . lastihg _., disgrace of , the Scottish name , and . the wonder . of civilised humanity . " - ; ; _= '• • " - ' >>; ; ¦ : ' ¦ ' - _! : ¦ - \\ _-fh . '¦• •< . ¦> > The hew law appoints , 'however , ' a second ' _depose tary of official power in . the _. shape of _anJssrEcion of THE Poon . The . bill requires each 'Paroclual Board to appoint and pay brie , or morel of thess ' _oiliccrsjih

      each parish . _IUs dutiesAyiU be to inquire . into tho state , of the poor ; keop a register of , 'andvyistt , « at least twice a year , those receiving ' relieir ; and Jiee 2 ) an account of the anibuiit' pahl' to . _Ihcni _;| alio ? to keep a register of those applying for-and .-refused relief ; and to report to the Paroehial'Bdardand . the Board , of Supervision , He is to bo / liable _' _. to _^ _sits ' - pension , " or dismissal , by the Board : of Supervision ; and is to represent the Parochial Board in ' all legal proceedings . . ' ! ;

      This ' office , ' though having a new name , is , like the Paiochial . Board , not really new . It was the duty of the Kirk Session in each parish under the old law ; to appoiiit aDcacon _supei'ititeiidcntbf the poor—though it was ,. _r duty but seldom fulfilled . The Inspector wUl . be the servant and creature of the Parochial . Board , appointed and paid by them , and is sure , therefore , to prove a very obsequious instrument in tho hands of his paymasters , and m « r «( m in every sense of the word . lie is certainly liable to dismissal by the Board of Supervision : but what likelihood is there of tnae , no matter what ave his sins of commission or of omission , if he is backed up by the "respectable" gentlemen composing the Parochial Board ? which he is sure to be if he shows himself the willing tool of those above him .

      We now come . to the third and highest depositary of power—the Board of Supervision , which is something similar to the English Board of Poor Law Commissioners . This board is to consist of nine members ; _sixct officio , xh ., the Lord Provosts of Edinburg aid Glasgow ; the Solicitor General of Scot land ; and the sheriffs of the three counties of Perth , Renfrew , _Ross-and-Cromarty—and three others to bo appointed by the Queen . One of tho Queen ' s nominees ia to receive a salary ; and there is to be a paid Secretary . Each of the three sheriffs is to receive £ 100 a vear while a member of the Board .

      Tke rest are to receive no emolument . I hoy aro armed with powers of inquiry ; to have chambers in Edinburgh , and meet there ; and to hold at least two general meetings in each year ; to keep a record of their proceedings ; and to report annually to the Secretary of State , giving a full statement as to the condition and management of the poor throughout Scotland , and the funds raised for their relief . They arc to have a general control over tho Parochial Boards , and may attend their meetings , either in person , or by one of their officers , and may join in the discussions , but may not vote .

      'The powers of this"Board , it Will be seen , arc limited to inspection , and inquiry ; and its duties to an annual report . True , it may exercise somo discretion in the reorganization of such Parochial Boards as may choose to disolve themselves , by adopting an assessment . This Board also possesses some power in the uniting of burglial parishes , controlling expenditure in poor-houses , and some other minor mallei's ; but the power to compel IMPROVEMENT in the most important matters is altogother wanting . There isone odious power entrusted to this Board , for which indeed it has mainly been called into existence .

      We have on former occasions alluded to the ease of Widow Dc . _vca-v , of Ceres , who , with five children applied to the Kirk Session for relief . In reply the Kirk Session awarded her "relief" at the rate of a penny a day for herself and her five children ! The widow found a friend iua Mr . _Spesce , who , thinking this sum an insulting pittance for the support ' of six persons , carried the case before the Court of Session , and the Lord _Obdixart decided against tlie widow , Mr . Spesce determined to persevere ; and he teok the case before what is called in Scotland "the

      Inner House , " and there gained a remarkable decision in favour of the widow , which raised her pay , and ordered the parish to pay her an hard cash £ 18 for arrears . This was in _aceorfemce-with the opinion of Lord _Jeffket , who said that _^ lths right of the poor to a sufficient support was even tprcferable to the claim of the lord of the land . " -This decision from ivhich there was no appeal , exeate'd . tke utmost •' consternation" amongst the heritor ? , " 1 X 0993 . particularly when it was _fennd that the-poor , in / cther parts , stimulated by the success of _Wkcjw'Db _^ oj were having _recctuTsc to the mine _authoiiifc . \ jQ _ ep , K

      pel an _adherencc . to _^ _tharlaw . _wiik'h provided that the poor should bo famished with needful _sustentation . " Amongst others who hsd recourse to the " appeal" to tho judges , was one Axx _M'Doxald _, belonging to tho Dukcof _Suihem-asb ' s parish of Farr . This poor creature—a deformed crippled dwarf—was _alkweddVoni the Kirk Session 2 _« . a year . In January hat she applied to the Kirk Session for further relief , and received for answer , that the Kirk

      Session could not bo troubled with such applications ; avid a Ahve & t to send hev t _& the Edinburgh workhouse . She at last applied to the ' Court of Session for an order to compel the Kirk Session to judge her ease ; & ndshc stated that no law-agent could be got to act forJicr , from the fear of offending the heritors . The Court of- Session ordered her case to he considered _tvithin . eight days ; and the re sult was , that the Kirk Session' then _agreed . to allow her Is . ; fld . per week .

      The new law , ¦' whilst nominally retaining * the ArrEAL" to the'Court of . Session , so . fitters Hat to _render Its exercise quite at the mercy of the Board of _Sup & _i-ision , amounting in reality to the deprivation of the rig ht of appeal . The Commissioners of Inquiry anade the proposed abrogation of this right the principal point in their report . They proposed , in plain terms , that ' the appeal to the . Court of Session should be taken away . " They added , that they considered it " net desirable that there should , be any appeal from , the decision of the parochial managers as to the amount of allowances . "

      This was plain and straightforward : an adumng ot tlie wholesale robbery of tlie rights of the poor in no mincing terms . But this open and avowed contempt of justice and right was too honest for Sir James Graham and the _Louu Advocate . They , therefore , proposed to obtain the same end by other and more Whiggish means . Tlie right of appeal _ie to he nominally preserved ; but the Board of SupcruUion is constituted the authority for deciding betwixt the "pauper" and tke exercise of his right ! Thus , hy clause 72 , it is provided "that it shall not lie competent for any court of lair to entertain or decide any action

      relative to the amount of relief granted by parochial boards , unless the Board of Supervision , shall _previvioudy hove declared that there is a just cause of action . " This clause , while it nominally _confirms the right ( if appeal , makes its exereise solely dependent upon the Board of Supervision . As the law now stands , should tho Parochial Board refuse a claimant any relief , or should only award him what he may deem inadequate relief , say 2 id . a week—the claimant may appeal to the Board of Supervision . That Board will then make "inquiry" into the case ; and if the Board considers the claimant ' s case to be well made out— " a good

      case "—the Board has the power of granting " interim relief" to the claimant , with a pass permitting him to go before the Court of Session and litigate his claim ! But this appeal to the Court of Session , it will be observed , is only pcrmitsable by leave of the Board of Supervision . On the other hand , if appealing from the decision of the Parochial Board , the claimant should have his claim disallowed also by the Board of Supervision , he cannot , as heretofore , carry his complaint before the Court of Session . He is not permitted to make his appeal to his ancient protectors . He i 3 cut off from all redress . He may crawl to his hovel , or the dyke-side , and starve and die .

      Such is the nature of the " amendments" that the Whig-conservative , Sir James Graham , and his fitting colleague , tho Lotid Advocate , have made in the Scottish Poor Law . They arc much akin to" the famous Whig amendments in the English law '" some ten-years ago , —passed to reduce tho English working people-: to a " coarser sort of diet . . "• The English " amendments" "took from the ' " magistracy the power of compeli ' mgrelief , in eases wlierd it ' .

' Auncxation ' . ' question , ' -. which , we deem of sufficient importance to call for all the prominence we can give them , arid a ajecial _vccomtftiiwUUOn to the consideration of every , reader , of tlie Star . They . ire from the pen of T . _Dol'dleday , Esq . ; and place the question , and its prabalk _consequences , hi such a light , as to make it one of surpassing interest to every well-wisher to the gigantic experiment of _sclfgovernment , on democratic principles , now in course of developemcnfc on the American Continent . One

      thing is certain : the policy of Jackso . v , and Vas _BuuEXjOand Polk , is to confederate all the peoples on that-Continent into one gigantic Federal Union . and appearances indicate that the hold which the European States still retain on different portions of that immense territory will" be loosened and snapped off , as surely as that the first batch of States declared and achieved their independence of Britain . . Texas it annexed . The Oregon , or all the valuable portion of it , goes next . Calixor . nia is marked out . Emigration -from , tlie States'is already setting in to that quarter in full tide . These two regions will soon become " annexed , " as surely as that Texas now is " annexed ; " and how long will it be ere the Caxadas in the North , and . Mexico in the South , follow ? Read the following- ; and answer : —

      That wluch . we have again , and again , and again predicted ; has now taken place ; Texas is annexed to , and now forms " part and parcel" of , the United States -of North America , ' and tin ' s is done , as we also predicted , without "Bank-note-maximum " Peei ., or any of his organs of the press , daring to utter one hostile word , or breathe one breath of remonstrance , now that this great event has actually occurred . As for the language of the Times , which in this matter is the organ of the Jews , it is deplorable and lamentable In its utter and thorough degradation . The very . " base string of humility" is sounded . " Captain Bobadil" did not submit his

      back to the cudgel of "Downright" withmore Christian resignation than does this Jew-organ submit to the triumph of the United States and the democraticstatesmen of tlie Republic . Not a- word docs it hint of " resistance" cither on the part of Mexico , or England , her ally . The whole transaction is treated as un fait accompli . It is not to be gainsaid . Mexico is to succumb because England dares not resist ; and the foundations of a New Republic , to be added to the already great federation of the United States , are quietly laid and cemented by the dread of " a money panic" and a disruption of that pretty thing , fivesixths paper and one-sixth coin , which _PEia-the-wisc calls a " well-regulated currency !"

      This _isthc real key to this mystery . As to the disgraceful position in which this country is placed by the event , no man with brains in his head can for a moment doubt . This is our _positiou . In 1823 , in revenge for the march of the Due d'Angoidcmc into Spain and the triumphant overturn of the English syBtcm ' and . -influence , Canning induced the then British government , at length , to recognize the independence oi the revolted Spanish American colonics , which France secretly wished to reconquer . This

      move , as far . as it went , was good , and showed some spirit . It threw these governments and their trade into the arms ( as it were ) of England j and , especiall y , it made Mexico her friend . The Mexican govern ment , however , speedily degenerated into a military despotism ; and Texas , bordering upon the " States and peop led" partly irom iheiice , determined to tlirow off the yoke , and declared herself accordingly independent . The astute Cabinet of Washington at once raojjniud Texas , ! while ' , Mexico prepared for -war

      against the revolted proriaea Thus was England in ! ' a hitch . '" ' Bound by trusty with Mexico , bIio was bound to assist her _^ especially kcwie of interference by the -United . ' States . ' . ' ¦' War was . cut of the question ; for these events- were takiag _^ _ilace when the moneypanic of 1 S 25 had nearly sent ail hy tho hoard in England . To patch the matter , therefore , this plan was resorted to . England _acknowledged Texas , and guaranteed her independcnce . aa . a separate State , undertaking to " mediate" between her and Mexico . In this Mexico acquiesced so far as to drop hostilities ; but she reserved her claim to proceed , should the

      guarantee be broken , by any -tcder . il union ot Icxas with the States . Thus then this _"causus & cW <"' has arrived : Texas is annexed ; Mexico is in a state of hostility with the whole United States , of which Texas is now part and parcel ; and England is uouud by treaty to assist Mexico ! To suffer Mexico to go to war thus , whether singly . or not , " _Bank-notenvAxiunv" 1 _' _ekl no more dares , than ho daws jump oil' the Monument . Hence the quiet acquiescence of all the organs of tiic press in this act of Texas ' , ami hence every means will now be taken to prevent Mexico from an actual rupture with the Republic of the United States .

      In the . meantime , together with tins news , arrives Mr . _Maolane , the special envoy of President Polk , to arrange the dispute as to the " Oregon Territory . " We , of course , have no means of knowing what instructions Mr . Maousb brings with him ; but wc can state them with nearly as much confidence as il they were before ns . lie will first put in the entire American claim , which is for tho Oregon Territory up to about the fifty-fourth or fifth ilegrce of north latitude . This will give him plenty of elbow-room

      The American Republicans do not really care for any present possession of this territory north of the great river Columbia . Mr . Macuxe will accordingly be very " liberal" in his ultimate negotiations . He will give the degraded and baBietl Var . h a plaster for the " Texas" sore , which the American cudgel has just made , in the shape of " confessions ; " and the result will he , that the country north of the Columbia will bo for the nonce added to Canada , and " Bobadil " I ' kel be allowed to boast of the " extremely favourable terms" on which he has settled the Oregon

      question . . . - But this " quo" will not be conceded by Jonathan without a " quid ; " and that - quid ' will be an acquiesencc in the claims now going to be put in by said Jonathan to . the .-rich territories of New and Old California . ' Upon these American ambition is now bent . They never really belonged to Mexico . The settlements there were made by tiic Spanish Jesuits ; but Spain never had military possession of these beautiful regions . After the revolt of the Spanish colonics the Jesuits' power was at an end ; and since tha t time , it . is . known that , being without emigration to aid

      them , the numbers of tho settlers in California have declined , and are less than they were twenty years ago ; so difficultjs it for a people amidst plenty to keep up their numbers . Into these coveted realms Texas opens the road for the citizens of the United States . They are emigrating to these beautiful regions in great numbers at this moment ; and the next act of President Polk will probably be to claim , and ultimately to ax . nex the Californias to the American federation . This will throw the whole China trade into the hands of tlie Republic . For tlie produce of cotton , sugar , coffee , wool , & c ., these regions are

      eminently adapted . In the port of San Francisco , they have , it is said , the finest harbour in all this world ; and in the river Columbia another , almost as good , excepting in . vf inter .. San Franeiseo will speedily become a great mart for the expert of American manufactures to China ' ahd India , and for the import of Chinese and Indian pvodncc . From .. San Francisco to . Canton is for a steamer much the sauio voyage as fVohi . Liverpool to'New York , ' or New Orleans—a fe \ v _tiiiys ' riin . "Through . Texas , ' through' California and j ' Southern Oregon ,, _; tiicre is . a , ' road , open at all seasons ,: and easily practicable , connecting thus the eastern' with _' thc western ooast oil' North "America ; Such will be , the _, _coui'se .

      tionof-. _TexaSi all hope of . saving Calilornia from the _gl'asp ' of . _thc'A ' _niei'ic ' fth ' s _/ 'or of establishing a- British settlement , ' there , is . . _goiie . for " ever . .

      . _u » _wuu we _ueene _» vegvet mat we nave to record the demise of Mr , William Turner , of Ilopton , in the neighbourhood of Dewsbury ; a regret which will be shared by every individual who had the ineatimnble pleasure of Knowing the subject of our obituary notice . A rare and true spirit has departed from us ; and the loss will be severely felt _, lie was one of the old stamp ; one whose feelings and notions , and actions , were thoroughl y English—English in the best sense of the term—Saxon . While thoroughly despising tlie maudlin affectation of the age , his whole life was one continued

      endeavour to promote the happiness of all around him . This he did not do as an act of condescension ; he did not ape an humility he possessed not ; he did it because it was his nature to do it ; and his manner in the doing of it was such as to make those subject _tohis influence love and reverence the man because he was a max—a being , who while he manifested truo sensibilit y and a real sympathy witli the goodness of human nature in his acts , awakened similar feelings and love in others . In conversation he ' _was ree , o _^ _-cn , candid , sprightly , witty , and clear . He was " not a creature of form—but of nature .
