      SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE . - _DssiDiniL San ? wrecks aud Loss of LnfB . —Lloyd ' s , Friday . Sight .- —The late snow storm was attended with ihe most melancholy disasters along the coast . The wrecks that it occasioned were truly dreadful , manv having foundered with their hapless crews , all of whom perished . Along _^ thc coast , to the northward , fronting the German ocean , the losses were very numerous . At about half-past six oeloekon Tuesday morning , the Preventive _ServiceMonging to the Southwold station received information of a vessel being wrecked near the Barnard Sands , and that the crew were clinging to the rigging . They instantiy started eff in the direction , and succeeded in rcscuin <>* the crew , who were brought ashore in a

      shocking state ; many of them insensible , and their clothes covered with ice . The vessel was the Emerald , of London , Charles Harrison , master , bound to Aberdeen . —At "Whitburn , near Sunderland , a vessel trailed the Betsy , belonging to that port , got on the rocks and became a total wreck . The crew saved _themselvea by the boats . —The schooner Emily , Shaw master , belonging to Wisbcach , while on her way to Middle-borough for coals , was lost under similar circumstances onthe coast , about a mile to the south of -Scarborough . —Another Tessel was lost at Montrose . It was the brig St . Andrew ' s , of Arbroath . Tlic lifeboat was launched , and the crew were saved by it . — The True Blue , of London , Mr . Fleming master , was wrecked off Redcar during the storm . It is supposed that all on board perished . —At Ennishowen , near _Londondei-ry , another tatal shipwreck happened . Thc ill-fated craft was the Harmony of Ramsey , Brayden ,

      master : she struck on a shoal called Glasheady , situiate about half a mile _ofT the beach . The numbei * lost _ai-e reported to be thirteen . —To be added to thc above , are those of the Victoria , pf Newquay ; an . American packet-ship , the Ville de Lyon , on the coast of Barileur ; the Bee , wrcckedat Camber , near Rye ; and also that of a Dutch vessel , the Hopende , of Rotterdam , lost near the South Rock Light . The crew ofthe Bee were gaved by the Coastguard boat . The American packet was a very fine vessel , and her loss is given out at £ 50 , 000 . The mailfroni New York , wHcharrivedatLiverpoolonThursday night , contains intelligence ofthe loss of fourteen vessels , the greater portion belonging to England . Among them was thc following : —On the 19 th of last month the wreck of a large barque , supposed to be the Lord Seaton , of St . Andrew ' s , was discovered on thc eastern point of the Isle of Ilaut , in Pendlescot Bay . Two bodies were found aboard .

      Serious Coach 'Accident.—The Brighton He...

      Serious Coach ' Accident . —The Brighton Herald atates ,. that as the Defiance , Portsmouth and Brighton four-horse coach was proceeding on its way on Thursday ; thehorses took fright as they were about to enter Arundel , and galloped through the narrow streets of that town atatremendousrate , - ultimately dashing out of _Farrant-street , fronting-the Norfolk Arms , __ across the intervening road , clearing the stable gate with the -fracture only of a splinter-bar , entering the yard at full speed , and not being able to stop themselves , ran into a shed at the other extremity of it , against the roof of which the coachman was carried with great force , and was immediately struck off by a blow on the breast . Fortunately there was some little space between tbe beam and the roof of the coach , or he must have been crushed between them , and the progress ofthe coach was also arrested by the pole sticking against the wall . Mr . Loveiidge , draper , of Brighton , who was sitting by hisside , stooped so as to avoid a concussion which most have been fatal to hhn , and

      escaped with a slight blow on the head , bnt his hat was crushed to pieces ; he clung to the iron rails of the coach . His fellow-passenger , who was sitting behind , was thrown off by the concussion , and was much injured . The two inside passengers escaped without injury . The coachman is less injured than was at first supposed , and is pronounced out of danger . It appears that her Majesty and Prince Albert were exposed to great danger by the above occurrence . The Royal party ( says the same paper ) were on the way to Arundel at the time , and had scarcely passed the Norfolk Arms—not by more than two or t & ee minutes—when the coach came dashing at a tremendous rate across the road which had just been traversed by the Royal equipage . A minute or two earlier on the part of the coach , or later on the part of tbe Royal carriage , and a collision must have taken place , tie consequences of which are too appalling for the mind calmly to picture to itself .

      SvrrosED Mubder at _Rexdlesham . — -Horrible Affair . —Information has just reached us , from what we have every reason to believe to be authentic sources , that a frightful murder was committed late on Saturday night last , on the estate of Lord Rendlesluim , Suffolk . Report states , that his gamekeeper , who lives close to the hall , returned to his Lome late on the above named night , in a state of intoxication , and after a few minutes' time desired to leave again . His wife remonstrated against this , and shut thc door to prevent his getting out ; a quarrel

      then ensued , and ihe maddened gamekeeper at length snatched his gun , levelled it at his wife , and , report says , bleu * her head to atoms ] He was on Sunday committed to the Bridewell , at Woodbridge . He declares that he did not intentionally murder her , but , in- " -he _struggle , the gun went off by accident . He has a family of four children . Such are all the particulars we feel justified in giving to the public—we fear they are too correct . Rumour is busy , bnt we decline trusting too £ niuch to it , in an affair of so soulharrowing and tragic a character . _—Ipsivick Express , Feb . 18 .

      Escape axd Recapture of a _Phisoner . —On the 19 th of October , a prisoner , named Lawrence Phillips , made his escape from the llford House of Correction , and although every exertion was made , and a reward was offered for his apprehension , he eluded detection till Monday morning , when he was taken into custody in Whiteehapel by Mr . Anderson , the governor of the gaol The prisoner had been concealed in the neighbourhood of Houndsditch , perhaps one of the best vicinities for "putting away" a thief in the metropolis . Upon seeing Mr .-Anderson the

      frisoner started off at _fulijspeed in the direction of ' ettieoatrlane _, but was overtaken before he reached that locality , in wliich it would , no doubt , have been a matter of great difhculty to find hini if he had once turned the corner , lie was convicted of picking pockets , and is well known as a thief , several of his companions being at this time in the prison . He resisted on being- apprehended , but Mr . Anderson obtained the assistance of Mr . _Glcnny , of Bford , who accompanied him , and the fellow was securely deposited in a cab . The mob were greatly disposed to favour and aid the prisoner , who cried aloud to them that he was no thief .

      Fire _seak the Custom House . —On Tuesday afternoon the neighbourhood of Lower Thames-street was alarmed by the outbreak of a fire upon the premises belonging to Mr . Robert Fenwick , bottle merchant , No . IA , in-the above thorouglifare , nearly facing the Custom House . The flames originated in the cellar , amongst a quantity of straw and packages . Owing to the combustible nature of the same the fire soon obtained a strong hold . Engines belonging to the Custom House and parish , and four belonging to the brigade , promptly attended , bat the smoke was so overpowering that none ofthe firemen could for some -time enter the place . Mr . Braidwood gave orders to oneof the men to nut on the _jiatent smoke-proof dress , the invention of Lieut . Paulin . This was done , and after two hours' hard working the fire was extinguished , Hie damage being confined to the destruction ef baskets , straw , wood , and bottles .

      Lamextabie Suicide of Mb . _Lauan Bianciiabd . — Coboxee's _IxquEsi . —On Monday evening Mr . Carter and a highly respectable jury assembled at the Spread Eagle Tavern , Canterbury-road , Lambeth , to inquire into the cause which led the late Mr . Lanian Blanchard , the well-known contributor to the metro politan periodicals , to commit suicide . Thejury , on being sworn , proceeded to the late residence of the deceased , 2 ? o . 11 , Union-place , Canterbury-road , to -new the body , which was lying in the bedroom . On the re-assembling of the jury , the Coroner stated , that what they had to inquire into would be the state -ofthe deceased' s mind at tbe time he committed the _3 Ct of self-destruction , and upon the evidence adduced they would find their verdict accordingly . —

      From the statement of the nurse , it appeared that about twelve months since the wife of Mr . Blanchard -was attacked with illness , which , in the end , terminated in insanity . At different periods Mrs . Elanchard ' s disease became more confirmed , when , about twomonths since , while sitting in the drawing-room , she-exclaimed to the deceased that she was afraid she was attacked again ,- and shortly afterwards her intellect disappeared . On that occasion Mr . Blanchard carried his wife up to her bed , from wliich she never rose . From the period of the death of Mrs . Blanchard up to last Friday evening , the deceased had been observed to labour under a great depression of spirits , and that to sueh an A-rfpnt that , h *

      afraid to be left alone of a night , so tbat when the nursedepartcd , hia youngest oMld , aboy abouteleven years of uge _,-slept with him . The result _of-the loss of Mrs . Blanchard , acting upon the susceptibility of tbemmd of the deceased , created a disoiganisation wiuchended in the prostration ofthe nervous system , ' - _•»»• flan _& ard became subjected to fits . In the _c _^ _urw . _flfkst Friday he sustained two attacks , from - _» « _^ eh he recovered , and at the usual hour , _v-iieh . was between nine and ten , o ' clock , he retired _vibjsbed-room ., accompaniedbyMb son , and attended by the nurse ; - The deceased , as was his usual custom , pertbnned his devotions , which he concluded by the Lord' s Prayer , and at that time he appeared to

      be in the full enjoyment of his intellects . The nurse , onthe _tennination ofthe evening prayers , left the room , and in three minutes afterwards the deceased committed suicide . The boy , on seeing the blood gush from the throat of his parent , sprang towards him , and catching hold of his hand , exclaimed , " Oh , father !"" when thc deceased fell , and in all probability died . Medical aid was called in , but the deceased had ceased to exist . It was further stated , that since the death of Mrs . Blanchard the deceased had been most desponding , and , although giving existence to

      those charming pieces which pleased all who read them , he was sinking under a most painful state of mind . —The coroner , at this stage of the proceedings , remarked that the son of the deceased , who , it appeared , had slept with his father since the death of Mis . Blanchard , was in attendance ; but from what had come to his knowledge , he . felt satisfied that . no additional information could be arrived at . The Jury said they were perfectly satisfied , and returned a verdict—That the deceased destroyed himself while labouring under temporary insanity * . It is to be regretted that the deceased has left four children to anient his uutimclv loss .

      The Poaching Affair at Croome . —Worcester , Mosdat . —Three more men , supposed to have been of the gun" of poachers who attacked Lord Coventry ' s keepeison the night of Dec . 19 , in the course of which affray one of the latter , named Staite , was so badly hurt that he died a few days afterwards , have been apprehended , and two of them have been remanded for further examination . The disclosures wliich were made by them , and the witnesses examined on that occasion ( last Thursday ) , have led to the apprehension of five other men , upon the charge of having been concerned in this shocking outrage . Their names * are William Bloomfield , _Georse Brant . William Cosnett , Joseph Tandy , and

      Samuel Turvey . The last mentioned ( Turvey ) , it will be remembered was in custody some six weeks ago . onthe charge of poaching on the night ofthe 19 th of December last , but . was set at liberty , for want of sufficient proof , which , it is thought , has now been supplied . Brant , Bloomfield , and Cosnett were apprehended by Superintendent Harris , ofthe Pershore division of the Worcestershire constabulary ; and Tandy and Turvey , byTetford , ofthe Upton division . Last Saturday all five were taken before three magistrates ,- at the Worcester county gaol , when they were remanded foi * further examination on Tuesday . At the same time Cooke ( examined on Thursday ) was also remanded to Tuesday , and the proof of Wheeler ' s criminality being defective , he was discharged .

      Muhoer at _Thatcham . —On Friday the coroner ' s Inquest on the body of Ellen Jennings , an infant , was concluded , and a verdict was returned—That the deceased died of poison , wilfully administered by her father , for the purpose of destroying lifel Thc coroner immediately issued his warrant for the committal of the father , who is in custody .

      THE NORTHERN STAR SATURDAY , _TEBRUARY 22 , 1845 .

      The Right Honourable Secretary For The H...

      THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SECRETARY FOR THE HOME AND FOREIGN SPY DEPARTMENT . On Tuesday night Mr . Duncombe , ever ready to redeem his pledges to the country , re-opened the Post-office delinquency practised by Sir James Graham —a delinquency attempted to be smothered by the " secret committee" appointed by the Right Honourable Baronet himself . Much as Mr . _Ddncombe ' _s perseverance and resolution were admired , still some of his friends somewhat doubted the prudence pf his course in introducing the subject a second time .

      Further inquiry , they admitted , was due to justice ; but a knowledge of the disinclination of the " honourable House" to hear a repetition of its owndelinquency _, impressed them with a notion that the energy and eloquence of the Honourable Member for Finsbury would fail to supply material for fresh excitement , even on so vitally important a subject . In this respect , however , they were most agreeably disappointed : for never was a more statesmanlike , searching , eloquent , able , convincing , and even telling speech , than that with which the Honourable

      Gentleman introduced his appeal for further mquiry . Politicians may value the secrecy of correspondence for liberty ' s sake , or even for the success of intrigue ; the merchant may attach commercial importance to that secrecy necessaiy for the protection of speculation ; the lover may desire protection for his lore-sick strains ; and all unitedly may seek for confidence in the wafer or the seal : but few were prepared to see In the violation of such confidence the awful and astounding consequences ascribed to it by the Honourable Member for Finsbury .

      In these days of commercial speculation , with a Prime Minister whose governing rule and sustaining power appears to consist in the old adage " Vir sapit qui pauca loquitur" — " The man is wise who speaks little "—it is no small triumph to have compelled the Prime Minister himself to -fly to the aid of the " blackslieep " subordinate of his Cabinet ! It is true that the prisoner at the bar received little benefit , or even consolation from the testimony of Ms master . Thc pitiful subterfuge of Sir Robert and his " cad , " respecting the report ofthe secret committee absolving them from blame ,

      is below contempt . Sir James . Gbaham cannot fairly plead "autrefoisacquit ; " i . e ., "beforeacquitted , "to thc charge preferred against him by Mr . Duncombe ; though this was the wholesale plea set up by his leading counsel , Sir Robert . " 0 , " says he , " we have been tried and acquitted ; will you now try us again ?" The answer is , " You have not been tried ! and therefore you cannot have been acquitted . " If the " secret committee" are at all to be considered-as having aided in , or contributed to a trial , it can only be as a Grand Jury sitting on , andreturning

      a bill of indictment ; and every man in England who reads Mr . Duncombe ' s analysis of their "finding " will see in the suppressio vert , —the suppression of truth—manifest in that document—the absolute necessity of further inquiry . Mr . Duncombe has also preferred fresh and astounding charges against the Government , to which Sir James Graham can no more plead " previous acquittal" than a reputed pig-stealer , when arraigned on a charge of murder , could plead "previous acquittal" of . pig-stealing as an answer to the more serious charge .

      Mr . Duncombe has proposed a very plain and simple issue . He has asked Sir James Graham plainly , boldly , and manfully— " Did you , or did you not , order my letters to be opened ? " Mr . Duncombe avers that the fact that Sir James Graham did this , was known to the Committee : and such knowledge , together with their resistance of further inquiry , must brand them before "the House , " the country , and the world , as slavish sycophants ; as mere Ministerial tools ; as men who have divested themselves of every feeling of honour to cover Ministerial delinquency ; as men who are satisfied to

      sacrifice the dearest privilege that they themselves possess , to Ministerial "expediency . " It is no triumph to the accused that the Committee was a mere pie-ball "tribunal , " where "white" Whiggcry might have had a spot or two of advantage over " black" Toryism . It is sufficient for the country to know that nine gentlemen of the House of Commons have had evidence to prove that the letters of a respectable brother Member were opened , without colour of law or even plausible pretext ; and that these time-serving hypocrites drew up a report altogether withholding this fact from public notice ; to " settlethe question" both as to tfi _pm and their " report . "

      Independently of the dutythfitMr . Duncombe Owed to himself in again opening the _question , he had one of higher importance to _disehaige to Ms constituents : for if his correspondence merited Ministerial surveillance , he cannot be a fit and proper person to represent the present constituency of Finsbury . The boast of Sir James Graham of the impartial manner in which the Committee was chosen , as it consisted of a majority of his political opponents , is truly

      laughable . He must have known , as we told Mm at the time , that the Committee was so appointed for the express purpose of balancing accounts between Whig and Tory exercise of this unconstitutional privilege . Sir James Gbaham knew well enough that Ms friends and opponents would make a compromise ; and would draw up precisely that description of namby-pamby , hodge-podge report , with wMchthe country has been favoured .

      We have given Mr . Duncombe's speech at _cohsiderr able length ; and it is not our intention to weaken any of bis points by comment :: but we cannot abstain

      The Right Honourable Secretary For The H...

      from directing particular attention to a most noble burst of impassioned eloquence . It is not often truths are so fairly and so boldly stated . The Honourable Member , in reference to the uses made of Mr . Mazzixi's intercepted letters , said : — But unfortunately the poison had gone forth to the Neapolitan Government . The British Government had informed them of the intelligence of the purport of the first letters , and it was too late to _ra'allit . The Austrian Government sent their spies among those unfortunate people ; they resided at Corfu , and they told those people that in Calabria thc peasantry were ripe for the enterprise ;

      and waiting for them . These men were thus induced , notwithstanding tlieir assurance to Mr . Mazzini , to leave Corfu . They went into Calabria , where , instead of finding the peasantry ready for them , they were conducted into the mountains , where they became easily mastered by organized troops which had beensent there by the Neapolitan Government , who had been instigated to do so , no doubt , by the British'Government . Seventeen of those persons were tried by a _mUitary commission , and condemned to death , and nine of them wore executed on thc following day . They were parsons of noMe family ; two of them , of ' thc name of Bandieras , were the sons of an Austrian admiral of that name .

      The Bandieras and then * seven companions with a calm and happy bearing bore good witness to their faith , and died like martyrs , liaving slept peacefully on the night beforetheir execution . "If wo fall , " they said to a friend , " tell our countrymen to imitate our example , for life has been given to , us to enjoy nobly and usefully ; and the cause we die in is the purest , the holiest , and the best that ever warmed the breast of man . It is * the cause of the independence of our country . " Such are the men . whom you were thus leagued with Austria to crush . Those men were executed , and this is the way you adopted and the end for which you gained information , with a view of ( as you call it ) " frustrating that attempt . " Why did not you send nobly aud generously to these

      individuals aud state to them— "You are plotting on British ground ; you are running iuto danger ; this must inevitably he your ruin ; let us persuade you to desist from sueh a course ? " They would havo listened to you , and you need not have supplied another Government with the means of entrapping men and putting them to death / I say that they are the victims of this systqm , aud their blood is upon the heads of her Majesty ' s present Ministers , as much , aye , much more , than itis upon those whose duty it was to pull the trigger that launched . them into eternity ; and if a monument be erected to their memory at Cosenza , where they . feU , as I . hop ' eit will , it ought to be inscribed upon their tombstone , that they fell in the cause of their country , and of liberty , through the treachery of a British Ministry . ( Cheers . )

      Aye ! the blood of the departed patriots is on thc head of ihe British Minister ! and he—not the hireling who drew the trigger—is responsible for the foul deed ! Mr . Duncombe was fully justified in ascribing the above atrocity to English Ministerial policy . It is precisely similar in character to that practised by Sidmouth , whose good offices , in the right direction , his worthy successor appears to emulate , and successfully ; as in Ms first "innings" he-has beaten Mm by five runs , with a wicket yet to fall . How many Englishnieu have been sacrificed in precisely the

      same way 1 The mode in wMch Castles , Oliver , Edwahos , and others of Sidmouth ' s tools produced sudden outbreaks at home , was by taunting thc men of Lancashire and . Yorkshire with cowardice and backwardness , assuring them that Berby , Leicester , Nottingham , and Birmingham were ready to "be up and doing ; " precisely as the Austrian ; spies assured the insurgents of Corfu that they would meet with hearty co-operation from their brethren in Calabriaand who were thus marched blindfold to meet the hireling ' s bullet instead of a brother ' s aid .

      We trust that every man in England will read and preserve the above extract from the speech of Mr . Duncombe ; and we feel assured that the " scejie " following and preceding the Speaker ' s call to " order , " will not be forgotten : — / " Then , " said Mr . Duncombe , " how stands that question between riie and the Right Honourable Baroaet ? If a Member in his place asks the Right Honourable Baronet whether , in the exercise of liis functions , be has opened that Member ' s letters , and he finds that that Secretary of State , whUe he has had the meanness—aye , and the baseness , to commit the act , has not had the courage to avow it . ( Great cheering . )

      " The Speaker . —Those observations appear to be of a personal nature . If thc Honourable Member has made those observations personaUy to the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite , the Honourable Gentleman no doubt will be glad of the opportunity to withdraw them . "Mr . Duncombe . —SIR , I APPLIED THOSE OBSERVATIONS TO THE BIGHT HONOURABLE . GENTLEMAN IN HIS MINISTERIAL CAPACITY . TO THOSE OBSERVATIONS AND THAT LANGUAGE I ADnERE—( Cheers ) : SO THEY MUST AND SHALL REMAIN . "

      What a rebuke ! _CunHAy , once cross-examining a young dragoon major in his teens , said , " Come now , soldier , answer my question : " to which the major replied— "I am not a soldier : I am an officer . " " Then , " said _Cuhran , "Mr . Officer , and no soldier , answer my question . " So with the Minister , but no gentleman . " I have , " says Sir James , " been guilty of Ministerial meanness , baseness , and cowardice ; and as a _p-entoiaii I avow it . Let us see whether this is a strained point of our own , or whether Sir James ' s own very words will not bear tMs identical interpretation . Sir James commenced Ms reply—if reply it can be called—thus : —

      Sir , I rise under great disadvantage to follow the Honourable Gentleman who has just sat down , and to address the House . For although in my own judgment and conscience I feel a strong conviction that I have done nothing in the execution of my public duty of which any public serrant or gentleman can be ashamed , yet the topic now under discussion is one on which I feel that in the mind of the British public there must naturally exist a strongprejudiceagainsta public _servantwhohas exercised _thisparticularfunctionjandalsolfcelthatlam addressing a body of gentlemen of the United Kingdom in whose bosoms there must be a feeling which , in their generous natures , makes the execution of this duty in a public servant repulsive to them . I feel , therefore , all the disadvantage of my present position .

      Is _> not this the hangman ' s excuse ? He , too , feels " a strong conviction that he has done nothing in the execution of his public duty , of which any other hangman or gentleman can be ashamed . " Does not Sir James Mmself here furnish more than a " prima facie" case for a new trial ? Nay , does not he furnish ample grounds whereon to found conviction ? He does indeed do so ! There is a prejudice entertained by the whole of the British public , as well as by the body of gentlemen of the United Kingdom sitting in the Hope of Commons , in whose bosoms there must be a feeling wliich makes the execution of this hateful spying Ministerial duty repulsive to them ! No wonder that Sir James felt the .. "

      disadvantage " of liis position ! He would shelter himself under the acts of former Governments ; and would lead us to tbe conclusion that custom justified transgression . However , if morality is to keep pace with commerce , let us go back beyond the days of Sinmouth , Fox , _Frrr , or even _Walfole , and see how the matter was viewed by thc _Tehetiah Ambassador in 1641 . An act of letter-opening was complained of by the Venetian Ambassador in that year , and was explained away by Lord Fieldino and Sir Henkt Vane as a " simple error , " wMch subsequently grew

      into wholesale inspection . The violation of faith , even in those " uncivilised" times , the Venetian Ambassador designated as a " damnable example . " And in speaking of the inviolabilit y of _correspondence—of course the character of public servant not then being separated from that of gentleman—he wrote thus : — "which practice , most noble sire , is not the laws of our nation alone , but universal , and hath been maintained and unviolated of the King , and the public , and of all Christian Governments , no less than among the most barbarous , "

      What a reflection upon our improved civiliKition t Two hundred and four years ago a private letter was looked upon as something sacred , even by barbarians ; _whit our expediency-policy has found nine gentlemen " barbarous" enough to sacrifice this _inviolabilitj to Ministerial necessity ! We write before the debate is concluded ; and we shall anxiously look for a satisfactory response to that "throbbing pulsation" which Sir James assures us beats in the bosoma of those *• generous Englishmen " by whom be was surrounded . No doubt the swelling

      heart of little Lora John will go pit-a-pat in unison with the heavier _gi-oans of the outraged money-monger : but we much doubt that his little "noble " nature will sustain liim in the conflict between English feeling and Ministerial expedien « y . As to Peel , there is but one course for him : either to sink Mmself , or to cast Ms supercargo , Sir James , overboard , who has so often endangered the Ministerial vessel . We believe that no act of Peel ' s life would behailed with half that joy that would besure to follow the announcement of the _SPX'S dismissal

      The Right Honourable Secretary For The H...

      THE TRADES' CONFERENCE : LORD ASHLEY : A ND THE QUESTION OF LABOUR . PROTECTION . Hopeful as our anticipations to the cause of Labour were from the projected Conference about to be held by thc various Trades , the position acMeved by the Honourable Member for Finsbury by his splendid speech Upon the spr system , has added considerably , to our expectations . We have no doubt that the comprehensive mind of Mr . Duncombe , added to Ms laudable ambition to serve a cause in which he has

      nobly enlisted , will present this national assembly not only to the English mind , but to the world ' s eye , in its proper shape and form- —as the miniature of that full-length picture of Labour's Protection which must and will result from the combined knowledge of tho Trades and their Emanci " pator . If we saw good and substantial reason for such an assemblage before tho meeting of Parlia ment , and prior to the ministerial developments made even at this early period of the Session , all that has since transpired has served to confirm us in our former views .

      Wo had come to the conclusion that in trades questions themselves , delegates of their own order would find ample cause for deliberation : but wc confess that . wc werc not prepared to view the whole case of the labouring classes in so comprehensive a manner as we now are , —thanks to thc masterly exposure of Lord Ashley on Tuesday night . Those who have attended to our tt aching on Labour questions , will remember that we have ever contended for a consolidation of thc interests of all as the only means of security for all . It will be impossible for the Mechanic , the Corkcutter , thc Goldsmith , or the

      Shoemaker , to do justice to their own case , or to arrive at wise conclusions with reference to their own order , without , at thc same time , taking into consideration the condition of every class of labourers . Thc present policy of Lord _Ashlev . appears to us to be not only justifiable , but politic . He has taken a comprehensive view ofthe whole question of working class grievances ; and , with commendable patience , has delayedthe exposure of those monstrosities known to himself , until aimed with the force of evidence to

      impress them on the minds of all . The knowledge of thc existence of a grievance is one thing : the publication of imfutable testimony is another thing . Mr . Cobden , with every seeming of sincerity , might say " nay" to every assertion of thc Noble Lord * , and cognizant of this easy mode of disposing of an argu . ment , Lord _Ashlev postponed his exposures until he could meet such wholesale flippant denials with " The Book" containing the printed evidence taken before Committees , and by Commissioners appointed by authority .

      Arniod with such irrefutable testimony , Lord Ashley proposes to go through the whole catalogue of gricvance 3 seriatim , allowing each to stand on its own merits—thereby protecting himself against the possibility ] of jumble or mystification . Chambers , in his " Employer and Employed , " admits the necessity of training females in domestic pursuits ; while Lord _Asjilei-aslts how it is possible for little children of four years of age , engaged in print-works—for that was thc section of labour that he brought before the House on Tuesday—he asks how infants of forty-eight months old can be instructed in needle-work , or other

      branches of female education , when they are compelled to work twelve , fourteen , and even sixteen hours by day and by night _i ; As it is our intention to deal more at large with the proposed measure of the noble Lord when it comes before us in a more tangible form , we shall abstain for the present from further comment , merely observing that Sir James Graham pleaded " expediency" and " PROFIT" as a justification for continuing the infernal practice , and for resisting tho noble Lord ' s humane intentions * , a circumstance which characteristically enough elicited the high encomiums of pinch-belly Hume and the _Malthusians !

      We have merely taken this cursory view of the philanthropic intentions of Lord Ashley for the purpose of presenting it as a _^ feature that ought not , and cannot , be lost sight of by the forthcoming Conference : that is , ifJLabour is to be generally , and not partially , represented therein . Communications approving of this step taken by-the Trades continue to pour in upon us from all quarters : and we rejoice at being able to state that in Manchester several Trades have already elected their delegates . The fact of Mr . Duncombe liaving consented to preside over the deliberations of the Conference will give to the body a surpassing importance ; while it will furnish a

      guarantee-to the delegates , and thoBe whom they represent , that . no extraneous , matter will be allowed to divert their minds from the consideration of the great and important questions wliich they meet to deliberate on . Should tMs first step in the right course succeed according to our reasonable anticipations , we have little hesitation in saying that Peel ' s " occupation will be gone , " unless , indeed , as is his custom , he may be prepared to deal with the Free Trade party as he has dealt with the Church and tho Landlords—leave them , when he finds a stronger power ready to urge him on more briskly in his war against existing absurdities . ,

      Sir Robert Peel would rather be the Minister of a substance , than the puppet of a shadow : and if the Trades present such a front as will convince Mm of their union , and evince resolution to persevere for the accomplishment of their whole rights , Sir Robert Peel it * just the mail to review the forces , reconnoitre the positions of the respective parties , and place himself at the heai ) of the MOST powerful I Far and near as thc news of this Conference has spread , and open-mouthed , open-eyed , and open-cared as our virtuous Press affects to be , it is curious that not a single organ of the many who designate themselves "Labour ' s only champions , " should have deemed so important a subject worthy of even a passing notice . And yet we are told that the

      Press is thc great bulwark of national liberty . There is little doubt , however , that when the work is done —as done it assuredly will be—we shall be then favoured with the realised prophecies of our now silent cotemporaries ! Mi * . Duncombe entertains most sanguine hopes from the result of the projectcdConference ; and we feel assured that his pledge to open the Conference on Easter Monday , and to preside over its deliberations , will be received as an ample and gratifying apology for the non-acceptance of numerous invitations to Yorkshire , Lancashire , and all parts of the kingdom during the Easter recess ; and that those who will experience disappointment at not seeing and welcoming their champion , will rejoice that , though absent , he is engaged in doing thc work of all .

      My Dear And Only Friends,—Although I Hav...

      My dear and only Friends , —Although I have from time to time been taunted and sneered at for resting my hopes of all salutary changes in thc moral , social , and physical condition of the people of this country on your exertions , I have never yet been induced to transfer th _*^ h ° Pe to expectation from any other source . The great , and indeed the disastrous influence possessed by the middle classes of this country over tho labourers was never more _aignifieantlv ,

      though' negatively , displayed than at the present moment . The complete cessation of all agitation by the middle classes is ample proof that the law , or rather the Government , has done for them all _tltat they require , while they have in return , through their representatives ' , _£ ided the Minister . in the completion of those _financial schemes , which , although most just , most sweeping , attd most comprehensive , must nevertheless end in the final overthrow of the present Bystera . ¦ ' - ' -.

      The middle classes see _penuaneflcy where there is no certainty . They imagine that all the advantages arising from Sir Robert Peel ' s recent _alteratoiw must be p ermanent ; whereas the only measures to which any fixity of duration can be assigned are the Property and the Income taxes . I do . not say tbat his Sugar Bill would be so altered as to meet your inability to consume by increased duties on that article ; nor do I say that the present reasonable hope of

      My Dear And Only Friends,—Although I Hav...

      " prosperity" arising from your present ability to consume , would be met by a return to the former glass duties , auetion duties , stave duties , or the increase of any of those duties whicli Sir Robert Peel has recently abolished ; but what I do say is thisthat his application of thc " surplus" in his hands has been impolitic , unjust , unstatesmanlike , and unwise . I will take the six great articles of reduction , comprising within themselves nearly the whole amount of the " surplus , " thc reduction of the duty on sugar , the repeal of the duty on cotton wool , on glass , coopers' staves , the auction duty , and the export duty on coal . The reduction on these six articles amounts to more than three millions and seventy thousand pounds per annum ; while thc remaining 425 comprise no more than about £ 820 , 000 , or perhaps leaving a loss fti the collection .

      Now , perhaps it would be impossible to have selected six articles producing the same amount of revenue from a reduction on which thc working classes would derive more insignificant advantage . I will make a shopkeeper's bill of it for you , and see how the matter stands . Suppose a man . whose family uses Benefit of reduction per week , d . 21 bs . of sugar per week .. ; _% h Fabric composed of cotton wool , 2 s . per week .-. ¦• It Glass , per week _0 _£ Auctionduty 0 Staves .... ' . 0

      ' ; - ii I have taken the most advantageous view of the " savings" in wMch your order can regard them . I have allowed a poor man ' s family to use two pounds of sugar per week , and two shillings' worth of fabric made of cotton wool , on which thc duty was 12 J per cent . ; and upon wMch , for calculation ' s sake , I have allowed you five per cent ,, leaving li per cent , for the grower , the merchant , the manufacturer , the wholesale dealer , and the shopkeeper from whom you purchase ; and I find . that your share of the " saving , " even should my data be correct , will amount to fourpence farthing per week , or eighteen shillings and fivepence

      per year ! This is allowing you .. great regularity in housekeeping ; and if I take the wages of a man , able to expend as above , at 18 s . 5 d . per week , it will not be too much ; and let -us then see how with him tho account will stand . Sir Robert Peel has expressed a hope that the working classes may be allowed tlieir share in his reductions : but belittle knows the parties with whom they have to deal oh Saturday nights . Those parties will have their share , and their full share ,: in the " reductions : " but those reductions will be in the workmen ' s wages ; and the reasons assigned will be the greater facilities of purchasing the necessaries of life . .

      Now no man can say that this view is strained , when we recollect that parties very generally urged the growth of temperance as a justifiable reason for reducing wages . Nor can we shut our eyes to what passed on the promulgation of the former tariff . Indeed , I never can forget that golden passage in Mr . Drury ' s admirable letter to Mr . Duncombe , wherein he sets forth the greater difficulty of the working classes to contend with griping capitalists than with the law itself . The Income tax is to be reimposed

      for three years : and this circumstance , together with the plausible pretext of V reduced necessaries , " will be seized as sufficient reason for reducing your wages on the very first opportunity . Taking the morc-thanprobable reduction ,- then , at one shilling per week , consequent on your IMPROVED condition , we shall find a balance against the labourer of- £ l 13 s . 7 d . per year ! And this is the Ministerial boon in return for the increasing " loyalty" ofher Majesty ' s loving subjects ' .

      Now , I am perfectly aware that to any other class of working men in the world , except those of England , it would be very foolish to write so plainly as I write : but I sincerely rejoice that you have now arrived at a state that enables me to speak plain common sense to you without being liable to have my words , my motives , or my conclusions measured by the old rule of system . The great " prosperity " of the country and thc income tax has furnished the Minister with an unexampled " surplus . " This " surplus" being immediately collected from the wealtMer

      classes , proves their wealth , * while , co-temporaneously with . the re-distribution of this " surplus '* among the parties from whose store it was taken , we learn the astounding fact from the Home Secretary , that one in every ten of the working classes is dependent upon parochial relief for existence !—is , in fact , a " parish pauper ! " and is to be made a union vagabond . ' . ' Now , does not this clearly prove to you that however desirous Sir Robert Peel may be to better your condition , " system" stands in the way of his doing it effectually ?

      I am ready to admit that the " man of substance " will be able to use more sugar , more cotton wool manufacture , more glass , and to sell his " traps " cheaper by auction than he can now ; but what I contend for is , that the measures of Sir Robert Peel will not enable the present non-consumer to be a consumer of those articles . And what I further assert is this , that Sir Robert Peel's present measures will make the very next " p anic , " however trifling it may be , fatal to all classes of society—but most fatal to those for " whose especial benefit" he says he has made the change . If you are not able to consume , the Income tax will be a very inadequate substitute for all liis alterations . And now _metkinka I hear some one saying , " Well , what would you have done to have met thc Minister ' s views , and the Home

      Secretary's frightful admission ? " Well , if we leave " system" out of the question ; and if we bar the necessity of balancing adverse and contending interests without any certainty of result , for the more purpose of keeping the thing afloat ; and if indeed the improvement and well-being of all should be the object of those who govern , I will tell you . £ 3 , 400 , 000 of money "is money all over thc world , " as we say in Ireland ; and the duty of the Minister , with that " surplus" in hand , was to have appliedit prudentially rather than politically . If Sir Robert Peel had purchased , as he might have done , 200 , 000 acres of veiy good land , and leased it to " the one in ten" of the _system-made " paupers , " he might have preserved all bis higher duties , and might have swept the frightful item of £ 8 , 000 , 000 per annum " pauper" money from his column of expenditure !

      Now , you mechanics , and you insolent "foppish " aristocracy of Trades , don ' t laugh at mc ; but firstunderstand that every single item that Sir Robert Peel proposes to bring within your reach , by a reduction in its price , comes from the land . Two hundred thousand acres of land woidd give direct employment to 500 , 000 individuals , and would produce , a " surplus , " after their consumption , larger than the interest of the national debt ; and then 500 , 000 would bo about the " one in ten" of the "pauper" class . Of the " first-principle" gentlemen , who know as much

      about thc value of labour when applied to land , as an Irish pig knows of geometry , I ask ; I mean Spottiswoode and Co ., and the "TO RY" advocates of increased issues of _pajier-money ; I ask these gents , what objec tion they can see to the purchase of land under such circumstances ? Will they tell me that the people ought rather to starve in deference to a " statesmanlike-principle ? " that it is anti-democratic to purchase what ought to belong tothe people themselves , but whieh , unfortunately , they cannot otherwise have ?

      In 18 * 10-41 and ' 42 , I made several prophesies with reference to tho policy of Sir Robert Peel ; and day after day I find events and circumstances strengthening and confirming the opinions that I then entertained and placed on record . The only advantage that I now see in a perseverance in that policy ia , that sooner or later thc neglected-agricultural interest must be thrown upon the consuming labouring classes for protection . . There is nothing elso for

      them . The landed interest alone derive no benefit ( beyond the dangerous facility of procuring money at alow rate of interest ) , from that system of centralization wMch has grown to such an alarming extent * . They derive no advantage from the accumulated hoards of the leviathan manufacturers ; but , on the contrary , they are now beginning to discover that the " protection of labour" would enable the labouring _clashes to deal more extensively and advantageously for themselves in the home market .

      Whenever the landlords of this country are prepared to make common cause with the working classes , they can materially benefit themselves , and at the same time confer commensurate advantages on the labouring classes . The manufacturers , and all who live on the abour of others , will die in resisting

      My Dear And Only Friends,—Although I Hav...

      the claims of Labour , i before they will join in _procur- * ing its emancipation . I admit that we have much up-hill work to convince the slothful clodpoles of tMs fact ; but nevertheless it is progressing . Th 6 " farmers that whistle at the plough" are beginning to acquire some knowledge : and k nowled ge is all that they do require to save themselves and the people . The manufacturing and trading ; classes have got more active , stirring , bustling knowled ge than the agricultural classes ; and for this reason—wherever there is a demand there is a Supply . The landed interest , being protected by old feudal laws made

      bythcmsclvcs , and by pulpit-kobgoblinism preached by their sons , have relied upon those things , backed by a standing army , for the security and protection of their properties . There was no demand , as far as they were concerned , for any other description oC "knowledge" than that furnished b y legislators , priests , and soldiers , * and that knowledge having become obsolete and useless , there they are , floundering on their backs , assailed , and not able to defend themselves . Thus it always is ; where there ' s no grievance there exists a sense of dangerous _sucuiuir and but little knowledge ; while , on tbe other hand ] where grievances exist , intellect is sharpenkd to re .

      sistance . Hence we find the foolish old " defenders of thc Protestant faith , and so forth , " mere children in the hands of Catholic disputants , who have had long grievances to contend with . And precisely so it is with the labouring classes . Their grievances and sufferings break through that proclaimed " prosperity" of which the Minister ostentatiously boasts ; and the consequence is , that the " one pauper in every ten" becomes enlivened by a new pliilosophy wliich promises to shake unjust security

      to its very centre . It is for them that I have spent the best years of my life in comparative seclusion . It is for abandonment of their cause that I have quarrelied with friends most dear , and with associates most valued . Where is the heart that must not feel and sicken—where is the man that can refrain from weeping , on looking on such a picture as the Home Secretary has been obliged to present as a foil to the painted representation of " prosperity" drawn by that "fascinating financier , " the bookkeeper of fte monied classes—Sir Robert Peel .

      My friends , my only friends—you who have confided in me ; who have defended mo when assailed ,- who have never deserted me in adversity—to you I say that tho next panic , trifling though it may be , will place you in the ascendant —( after some suffering , I admit , )—when all the trickery of Ministerial policy must fail . Be united ; be wise ; be firm : for after all , to our _measi / ke—and to that alone—all _peisons possessing real property , and wishing to preserve it from the lewd grasp of speculating traffickers , _nuat come-to THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . Ever your faithful friend and servant , Feargus O'Connor .
