      Andrew Jackson And Earl Grey. Thb Republ...

      ANDREW JACKSON AND EARL GREY . THB REPUBLICAN ASD THE ARISTOCRAT CONTRASTED . ¦ ... Last week we drew attention to the fact , that the Globe , in the course of its observations on the character of the deceased Easl _Gbxt , had drawn an invidious distinction between that ; statesman ' and Andrew Jackson , the latter of whom it pronounced to have been "the representative of a later and worser school of statesmanship than that of the

      Eng lish Minister of Reform : " and we also promised to contrast the acts and characters of the respective representatives of Aristocracy and Republicanism , that the English working classes might have an opportunity of judging of the " schools " to which they r es p ectivel y b e l o n g ed , a nd o f th e n a ture a nd worth of the " lessons" taught by the emmples of the two schoolmasters . That promise we have endeavound in some measure to fulfil in another part of this sheet ; and what is there left short we purpose here to supply .

      It was onr intention to have given a compilation from the " Life of Akdbbw Jackson" p ublished in England by William Cobbett ; for in that little volume will be found most of the facts wc desired to hare known , told in tho simple and forcible style of which the author was so rare a master . During the week , however , there fell in our way the acoounts we have given of the manner in which the _Pjeoplb of Auebica have testified their regard for the memory

      of _ANDREW Jac k so k ; and particularly the eloquent oration pronounced by Mir . Bancroft at Washington , in which he traces the General , the Leg i s lator , the Statesman , and the Governor , from the cradle to the grave ; and we have , for reasons hereafter set forth , preferred inserting those accounts to the matter we bad originally laid oat . There is an interest attachable to these proceedings , from the circumstance of their laving been engaged in by an entire people , that would not attach to a mere narrative of facts ,

      though they did relate to the career of one ofthe most extraordinary and one of the kit of men that the world ever gave existence to . The facts detailed by Mr . _BAScnoFi arc mainly the same as those set forth by Mr . Cobbett in the history we have named : but taking into account the occasion on which utterance was given to them ; taking into account the f a ct that a whole people were assembled to honour the remains o f him who had been to them " a father and a friend "—of him to whom those facts related ; taking into account that the occasion and the scene that presented itself to the orator's view , —with the consciousness that in all the large towns throughout the Union a similar scene was being enacted , —ins p ired him to s p e a k

      " Thoughts that breathe , in words that burn" . taking into account all this , the histor y of Jackson ' s life which we are th us f o rtun a tel y enabled to give possesses a freshness and a poetic interest which will make it doubly acceptable to the reader , and much better calculated to answer the object wc have in view In instituting that contrast between the English Aristocrat and thc American Republican which the Globe kaB provoked .

      Followin g the narrative of acts and deeds whicli have endeared Axbrew Jackson to tbe people -whom he served , will be ftund a narrative of the acts of thc English Minister , Lord , Gret , and his colle ag ue s , from the da y the y ent e red on office to th e da y of departure therefrom . The hare recital of the respective acts of the respective men is all that is necessary to enable the reader to judge between them , and of thc value of their respective " schools . " On the one hand he will see the man of principle ; of devoted patriotism ; of unbending integrity ; of mighty genius , both for war and for

      peace—able to defend his country with raw and undisciplined troops , when even not half armed , a g ainst the flower of the English army led on by a Sir Edward Pakexham _,, Commander-in-chief , and brother-in-law of Wellington himself—which said Sir Edwam > Pakexham and his two Generals , Ginnsand K . easb , were l e ft dead on the field , beside s many others ofhis most valuable and distinguished officers , and thousands of his troops , whilst the raw back-WOOd farmers who had committed this awful

      slaughter in resisting invasion , h a d but thirteen in "killed and wounded !"—a genius too that could go vern in p eace , a nd conduct his country through that most perilous of all changes , —a return from an unsound and depreciated currency to a healthy one . He will see too , unaffected disinterestedness ; a pure life ,- a seeking after retirement , but a prompt obedience to the call of duty : in short , he will see the MAN—the Patriot , —the Statesman , — the Governor—the DEMOCRAT . On thc other

      hand , what will he find ? Will he find love of country ? Say rather love of " my ORDER . " Will he find stern and unbending integrity in the execution of the laws ? Say rather an attempt to stretch law , a nd act with "VIGOUR . " W il l he fin d the p atriot , aliv e to the evils of the Government of his country , placing himself at the bead of the people , and perfecting those changes necessary to give full and free expression to the public will ? Say rather an attempt to cheat the people with the semblasce of Reform , while the real work of RECONSTRUCTION was so carried en as to perpetuate and add to the very

      evils that" Reform" was to cure . Will he find disinterestedness ? Say rather a NEPOTISM never equalled b y the most mercenary and hungry Minister that ever held power . Earl Gret had relations of every rank and degree stuck into officefastened on the people—until the whole country rung with the cries of complaint , a nd com p elled the Met Minister , when he left office , to try to justify his cond uct . He had one son in the Ministry ; he had a relation , Mr . Ellice , in one of the "departments ; " he had his brother created a bishop , to

      whom was _afco given a " Btall" in Westminster ; he had a brother-in-law created a bishop also ; and he had two sois promoted in the navy over the heads of thousands of officers , a great part of whom were at sea before these said sons were bom ! Costrast ah this with the conduct of General Jacksojs . Do we find that man thrusting his hands into the public coff e rs , and quartering his relations on the public purse ? Do we find him with a large " retiring salary" after he bad " served his country" in the field and in the senate ? Do we find this in Jacksos ' s ease , —though we do find ¦" services " ' ' that

      none hut himself could boast of ? No : we find , on the _cbhtraryf aisingle determination to actus becam e a _^ _-andri _arpatriofe _Wevfind-him'b-rganisih ' ga state ; instituting Government , andl aw ,, ahd order , where confusion existed ; we find bim sent ' to the Senate , to act ob-behalf of his _^ Wther _^ itizens ; we find him on ; the bench dispensing " j ustice in equity , and making the law respected ; without fitful appearances ' of " VIGOUR , " or without having to " hang by the-neck till he teas dead" po o r Cook of M i t c hel d eyer , for having _sence * at Bingham Baring , but without doing him any harm :

      we find him performing all these services ; and we find him also retiring to his farm , contenting , himself with the results of his own skill in the cultivation ofthe soil ; depending not on thepeople ; taking nothing from them ; but living on his own means . Nay , we find him , when unsuccessful in business throu g h the misconduct ofa " partner , " insisting on " p a y ing every obli gation that had , been contracted ; and , rather than endure the vassalage of debt , instantly parting with the rich domain which his early enterprise had acquired , with his own mansions , with the fields which he himself had tamed to the

      ploughshare—with the forest whose trees were as familiar to him as his friends—and chose rather to dwell , for a time , in a rude log cabin , in the pride of independence and integrity . " Ah ! Mr . Globe match i h at if you can ! Go through the whole ol Lord Gret's career ; take him from the first hour of his political existence to the last hour of his life ; and show us anything that can at all approach the picture here presented of ; a man who acted for his kind as if he knew that country had claims and he duties to perform , which were not . to be satisfied with , or bartered for , drossy gold !

      But General Jacksoii . was no aristocrat : Lord Gret was . Jackson could not recognise in , Nature's " ordering" any provision for hereditary rulers . He am _hintself sprung from a pair of poor Irish Emigrants—forced to quit their native land in search of the means of existence ; and he saw George the Third , —the monarch that claimed the homage _andsubjectibn of thepeople of , the new world , —a half idiot when he begun to reign , and a confirmed mad man before he had done . He saw the " men of the

      _Revolution—those who built up the powerful fabric of the States , sprung from the people ; and he saw the aristocrats of England unable to retain their grasp of the Colonies they had presumed to legislate for , and to tax . He saw himself at New Orleans , with a mere handful of country farmers , with . only one rifle for every two of them ; and he saw "Sir" Edward _Pakenuam , legitimately descended from Wi ll iam

      d ePa k cn h am , oi ' Edward the First' s reign : and he saw also the representative of aristocracy , although commander-in-chief of the English forces , laid dead on the field , with thousands of his troops , and the _restabsohitely driven into the water , by the sturdy democrats of the back-woods , who only had "thirteen killed and wounded" 1 Andrew Jackson saw all this , and much more to the same purport : and bb bight-FULLY DESPISED AN _Anisiociucr op birth—while he

      bowed the ; knee in reverence to the Aristocracy of

      MIND . . The Globe says : •—The strongest sign of the progress of " _ochlocracy" * in the Greek commonwealths , was the multiplication , and , as i t were , public scramble for petty offices , and the adoption of a system oi rotation instead of election , and of ranid succession in these offices , intended to gratify the universal thirst for an actual share in power . This idea of rotation has , been put forth in the late General Jackson ' s Messages , precisely from the same motive as

      prompted it ( though , he probably knew nothing about that ) in the States of Greece . And General Jackson carried out into actual practice the same principle , eo far as it consisted in making all places change hands , for the gratification of the humblest ambitions , by carrying farther than ever had been done before him , on attaining power , a clean sweep of every holder of even the lowest public office . ' In like manner the downward movement of democracy in the several States has tended to abridge the duration , aiid change the holders , even of judicial offices .

      And well was it , f o r mankind , that General Jackson did inculcate and act out in practice the princip le here condemned ! It was not well for the mere holders of office ; itwas not well for the ; * 0 && er * v it was not well for your _BosnAus and you _^ _BouiEROs , who pocket the profits of " shares " for their official and legislatorial " services ; " it was not well for these , and such as these , that such a principle should be established i but it was well for the people ! whose interest it is that no party should be fixed on them for l ife , —but that all the offices of state should be open tO all , THAT MASY MAY BE TAUGHT TUB ART AND

      MYSTERY of _GOvm _* _hYo , and the people not left at the i mercy of a mere handful of greedy officials . The reasons that prompted JACKSOS ' S conduct it is not for the Globe to understand . He can only look to the securing of the aristocratic principle and the perpetuation of aristocratic sway . Jackson laboured for a people ; laboured for freedom ; laboured for his race . Jackson sought to teach the people—to render them _solf-sustaining—to free them from all extraneous and deteriorating influences . He wished to pass them out of the stats of aristocratic childhood into the manhood * of Democracy . As Ban . croft eloquentl y says : ~~ "It was for the welfare of

      the labouring classes that he defied all the storms of political hostility . He longed to secure to labour the fruits of its own industry ; and he unceasingly opposed every system which tended to lessen their reward , or which exposed them to be defrauded of their dues . The labourer may bend over his grave with affectionate sorrow ; for never in the tide of time did a statesman exist more heartily resolved to protect them in their , rights and to advance their happiness . For their benefit he opposed partial legislation ; for their benefit he resisted all artificial methods of controlling labour and subjecti » g it to capital . It was for their benefit that he loved freedom ia all its forms—freedom of the individual in

      personal independence—freedom of the States as separate sovereignties . He sever would listen to counsels _wmen tended . to the CENTRALISATION op pow er . The true American system presu p poses the diffusion of freedom—organised life in all the parts of the American body politic , as _tteei ' s organised life in eveiy part of the human system Jackson was deaf to every counsel which sought to subject general labour to a CENTRAL will . His vindication ofthe just principles of the Constitution derived its sublimity from bis deep conviction that this strict construction is required by tho lasting welfare of the great labouring classes of the United

      States . To . tkis end , Jackson revived the tribunicial p ower ofthe v e to , and exerted it against the decisive a c tion of both bran c h e s of Con g r es s , a ga inst the votes , the wishes , the entreaties of personal and political friends . ' Show me , ' was Ill ' s reply to them , shew mo an express clause in the Constitution authorising Congress to take the business of State legislatures out of their hands . ' 'You will ruin us all , ' cried a firm p artisan friend ; ' you will ruin y our p art y and your own prospects . ' 'Providence , ' answered Jackson , ' will take care of me , ' and he persevered . "

      Herein is tho great distinction between the patriot and the selfish maintainer of class ascendancy : the one works for the people-seeks to make them truly f ree by making them fit to enjoy and appreciate freedom—and the other seeks to " stand b y HIS ORDER . " To each does posterity do justice . The one it rewards with undy in g f a me : the other it either sinks into utter forgetfulness , or sets the name up as a by-word for reproach and warning . It needs no foresight to tell whatplaca Jackson will occupy in the estimation of men . The "history" of his acts , and ofthe homage paid to Ms _memo-ey by those for

      whom he has toiled , and bled , and thought , and direotcd-whichwethisdaygive-speaks plainl yenough that those acts arc recorded in theheartsof thepeople » and generations to come will learn to lisp the name of Old _Hickort with admiration and regard : and his deeds , as related by the sire to his son will swell the . youthful bosom with emulative desire . How long will Lord Gret ' s name remain amongst us j ? If it was not asst » iated with thatmist enormous specimen _ofspeciousness and deceit—the Reform Act — and that monstrous embodiment of cruelty and devilism-thc New Poor Law Act-wlio amongst' us

      would name him ? and now only to reprobate him He was at ohcitime " the nati 6 n ' s l _^ _e- _^ e _^ got their undying regard and even love . " - He-deceived them ; he spurned the'hand that ministered to hia greatness and power ; hc persecuted where he ought to have sustained ; he perpetuated evils that he had promised to annihilate ; and he goes down to the grave unhonoured , ' save by the toadies of the aristocracy , whose praise is poison to true fame . . 1 __ , _ j .. ... _Awrtinm

      Here is the manner in which he was disposed of . We give the account just as we find it in a paper published in a spot subject to the influence of the " family . " We let it have all the benefit of that feeling which exhibited itself in Alnwick , which led to the shutting up ofshops . Tradesmen inthe vicinity of lordly " castles " know what to do to secure custom ; ¦ and such places are not the most favourable in the world for asserting and maintaining the independence of the press . However , such as the account is , we give it * . — The remains of this amiable and deeply lamented nobleman ( Lord Grey ) were interred in the family vault

      at Howick Church , on Saturday tho _Sfith inst . The ceremony , in compliance with the known wishes of tho deceased , was strictly private . This celebrated man was followed to the grave by his son the present Earl , by the Earl of Durham , by the Right Honourable Edward Ellice , M . P ., brother-in-law to the late Earl , and by other members . of the family , on foot ; the only mourner not related being Dr . "Wilson , the medical attendant . of the deceased Earl through many _yeavs . The tradesmen of Alnwick by one consent closed tlieir shops between the hours of twelve and two o ' clock , and every tribute of respect _^ that circumstances permitted was paid by the entire neighbourhood .

      What a contrast to the " end" of HIM whom the Globe has placed at a discount , when compared witli Earl Gret ! One paltry town , mainly depending on the custom ofthe " castle , " " shutting up shop , " and " looking foul" on the one hand—and a whole peop le engaging in paying homage to talent , worth , and patriotism on the other ! Gkey sleeps at Howickalmost unnoticed—shortly to be ail-but unknown . " The Valley of the Mississippi , the theatre of his youthful valour and his meridian renown—the sanctuary of his declining age—folds within her bosom the ashes of her Jacksox . In the cen t r e o f th a t

      young but vigorous State , whose destinies , once his anxious , cave , were long the objects of his satisfied regard ; on the sunny banks of the Cumberland , where the strong , verdure of the West begins reluctantly , to yield " to the luxuriant beauty of the South ; - embosomed in a sacred solitude , stands the < pmb of the Hermitage—henceforth to divide with Mount Vernon the respect , the admiration , and the reverence of mankind . The simplicity of his life , the calm dignity of his death , ore exemplified by the humility of his grave . ' Ho rejected the imperial honour proffered to his bones . ' I cannot permit my remains to be the first in these United States to be

      deposited in a sarcophagus made for an emperor or king . I have prepared a humble depository for my mortal Iwdy beside that wherein lies my beloved wife ; where , without any pomp or parade , Ihave requested , when my God calls me to sleep with my fathers , to be laid , * for both of us there to remain until thc last trumpet sounds to call the dead to judgment , when we , I hope , shall rise together , clothed with that heavenly body promised to all who believe in our

      g lorious Redeemer , who died for us . that we might live , and by whose atonement I hope for a blessed immortality . ' This was the answer * of Christian meek-Bess , of Republican simplicity , of American patriotism . Catching the strain from the lips of the dy ing Hero , the people echo its lofty inspiration . Sleep sweetly , aged Soldier , Statesman , Sa g e , in the grave V kindred and affection I It matters little where Aw body is laid , whose memory is enshrined in all our hearts , * the monument of whoso fame is the

      country that he served , * the inscription of whose greatness are the praises of tbe world . But if there be any solace in memory ; if any virtue in the contem plation of heroic deeds ; any purity in the lessons of sublime example ; to the sepulchre of Jackson let the pilgrimage of humanity be made .

If he writes this week , his letter may be reinstated in its former prominent place ; as Carpenter will read this before Watkins' " lot" is fixed , and h e will h ave to th a nk m e for enhancing his value . I have only one extract to give from the " . Poor man ' s Philosopher ' s " last ; and here it is : —

      What , then , shall I do 1 Shall I join a co-operative society and subsciibe weekly out of my earnings in the hope that , by association , I may do more than I can individually , and get a chance of having the bit of land and the franchise at some future time ? No . I have seen enough of co-operative societies to distrust them all . I will save what money I can , and buy a freehold for myself . 1 know a district in England where I can get land cheap enough ; so that if I do but lay by 10 s . a-week out of roy 30 s ., I could , aye , in one year , buy sufficient land to give me the franchise .

      Now what think you of that ? Our scheme must fail be c a use th e th i n g p rom i se d cannot be realised ; while John "hwws a district in England w 7 ici _* 6 ftc can get land cheap enough . " Th e re ' s a secret worth knowing for you ! I have lieard of a district in Ireland where the pigs run about -with knives and forks stuck in them , crying , " come ea t me " " come eat me ; " and I know of districts in Ireland where you can get land for asking for , and thanks for taking it . But even that is not tbe exact question . The question is , that John Watkins assures you that you can save 10 s . a week for a year , and that the £ 26 so saved would purchase a 40 s . freehold . Come , that is very nearl y eight per cent , to begin . But even that is not the whole question . John tells you that

      you can only do this in your individual capacity ; tbat he has had enou g h o f " co-operation . " In faith I think he has ! He " co-operated" nearl y £ 17 worth of ( Stars outof me : and says he paid me in "Fairy Tales . " '" Rowthat is John ' s whole question . This maniac has been hired to write for the League , * and their object is to try to prevont tbe very thing tliey _haye always dreaded—the union of the working classes . Just think of working men , each upon his own account , looking into titles , and dealing separately with landlords , parsons , and lawyers 1 But then think of the valuable admission , that even individually the people can get eight per cent , on a purchase . But John only knows " where . " I suspect it is that part which , In Ireland , we call tlio back of Gods p eed , where the Devil foaled the fiddler 1

      I now come to a very much better authority than John Watkins , —tho Times newspaper . Tliere has been a Repeal Demonstration in the County of Wexford lately - and it appears that it WHS the most respectable ever held in the county . The following is the reason assigned by the correspondent of the " 2 itnes , " who you may be sure is no fool ; and for this simple reason , because the managers of that paper invariably employ the persons most fitted and best qualified for the work to be done . They have the means ; and they stop at nothing for the best and earliest intelligence . Here is the extract from the Times : —

      It will he seen , upon a perusal ofthe foregoing nocessarily hasty sketch , that the proceedings differed little , if at all , from those of any ofthe large meetings which Mr . O'Connell ha 3 lately attended . Its magnitude certainl y constituted one point of _differeacefrom recent displays for a similar purpose , for thc opinion of persons WllO Were present at all the monster meetings of 1843 was that the gathering of to-day outnumbered them all , with the one _exception of Tara . Another feature by which : the assemblage of to-day was distinguished from others was the

      supemr appearance of personal decency , comfort and vigour displayed by the peasantry who attended it . Taken as a whole , I have never seen any body of the _labouringclasses in this country which would not swffw b y a com parison with them . Their superiority in this respect is accounted for b y the fact , that there are very few non resident landlords connected with the county , and that the system of allotting small holdings is adopted to a con siderable extent . The _plocecditigs passe * off without the occurrence of the slightest accident or disturbance

      Now , reade r , what do you say _tojha Small Farm system being the ruin of Ireland ? I know the countv of Wexford well ; and I know that the above extract is true to the letter ; and I . further know * , that

Again I ask you what you say to that ? T ha v e w r itt e n much -upon the subject of Irish fentim and Irish management ; and thc above is confirmative of all I have written . I tell you a g a i n that tha large f arm system , the want of tenure , the _abstrac . tion of capital by way of fine , the power of the landlords to strain the law , the " middle" system and . actual premium for idleness , —and not the Small Farm system—are the great and crying evils of Ire . land . Pray read the above extract over and o _* vct again . ciwfi information is niclced nn h » # u _- _.

      The only ether extract that I shall submit to yon is the following , upon the importation of live stock and agricultural produce : both _beaming directl y _^ immediately upon the question of Small Farms This is the extract : — Importation of Foreign _CiTTte , & c . —The l mpop _. tation of cattle and provisions for consumption in this country , from Holland and other parts of the continent , has been unusually extensive this week . The _Dutcij steam-ship Batavier ,. which arrived at St . Katharine ' s steam-wharf on Wednesday evening , from Rotterdam , bad on board 73 oxen and cows and 50 sheep , all iu excel .

      lent condition , and which were m consequence landed and delivered immediately for the markets . This Tessel also brought the large number of 1 , 009 baskets of currants , besides a quantity of yeast , poultry , melons , cucumbers , and other articles of Dutch produce . The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel Ocean , which arrived at tho Brunswick-wharf , Blackwall , on the following day ftom thc same place , had 40 oxen , 38 cows , 11 calves , 61 sheep , audio lambs , altogether 100 head of cattle , onboard , She had also nearly 400 baskets of currants , a quantity of yeast , and other articles of Dutch produce . The same company ' s vessels , Earl of Liverpool from Ostcnd , Rain , boir from Havre , and Tourist from Calais , on the same

      day also brought a Urge quantity of poultry , butter , eggs , and other articles . By a recent regulation , cattle ar . riving from the continent in the night , on or after tho departure of the binding officers of the Customs , are not detained on board all night , as formerly , but after the usual inspection on the part of the veterinary surgeon appointed to examine _| them , are delivered immediately by the river officers cf the revenue , who are on duty at all hours , tho duty being subsequently paid by the importers . This prevents their deterioration by heat of the hold or other * wise , consequent on their detention on board . From the fact that a great quantity . of the fresh fruit which is

      brought to this port from the continent is forwarded lm . mediately per railway to the _north-midland counties , it would appear tbat ti » ¦ _HWbVtof'ol . _'B is almost completely supplied from the neighbouringmarket-gardens , and that the large quantities almost daily broughtfrom abroad are principally for the purpose of meeting the great demand of the population of the great midland manufacturing districts . The same remark will apply to the _COnsump . tion of animal food , and may account in some measure for the enormously high price of meat , notwithstanding the large quantities of cattle brought to this country from the continent .

      You will _bearjn mind , that in my letters upon Peel ' s Tariff , Igave him till the autumn of 1846 for its earliest development . You may rest assured that at or about that period the effect of the Tariff will he felt by tha labouring classes , as the wages of all will be measured by the price of provisions : and further , that agricultural labour will become a drug in the market . The farmer must not derive too muck hope from the co-existing high price of meat and increasing . importation of stock : because all that foreigners have as yet to spare will not make any visible impression upon the home stock , as long as all classes are able to buy so much as they now are : but wait till three in

      every ten pots cease to boil , and till the exportation of foreign cattle simultaneously Increases , and then , when the candle is burning at both ends , the effect of the measure will be felt . First , in the decrease c _£ agricultural wages ; Becond , by the competition in the artificial market of the " superseded" agricultural labourers ; third , by thefailuro of farmers ; fourth , b y thc failure of landlords ; fifth , by an attack upon the "funds" andthe church ; and sixth , by a crash among the large chimneys . Now observe ; that is the calamity against which I am tr y ingto p rovide ; for , whoever has his Small Farm and

      cotta ge , will he independent of all casualties , an d may lau gh at the shock he has escaped . I will now show you why the exportation of foreign cattle is increasing . It is because the foreipers have found out that it has become profitable to take calves , from two and three years old heifers , as a substitute for old cows that are fatted for the English market . In the autumn of 1846 you will see how the untaxed continental beasts will make the English brutes , —with national debt , army , navy , church , poor rates , land rates , constabulary rates , county rates , civil list , and royal prerogative upon their horns , —stare .

      _Richabd Radfobd , _Huljie . — . The reason why the agents in Manchester lie names , were short of tlieir number of Stars was wc presume , that on Saturday there was au extra demand for it , on account of its notice of the Odd Fellows' rupture —[ we learn this fact from other sources ] , Mr . Heywood not having reason to apprehend the increase , was not prtparea with more than his usual number . On the principle , therefore , of " first come first SCl'VCd , " tliose who were late in their applications would necessarily be short . The best way to remedy this is to give positive orders for a certain number to Mr . Heywood in sufficient time for him to order them . from the office , f Since the above was penned , we Und

      that , through a mistake of the packer , Mr . Heywood had sixty less than his usual number : be might , therefore , well be short . ] Wilmam _sjhtuam , Woolcomher , supposed to be living at Bradford , Yorkshire , will hear of something to his advantage by forwarding his address to Mr .

All that the English Cordwainer has to do is to exert lus skill in " the higher branches of his art , " and he may safely laugh at all attempts to " puff off' tlic productions of his Prench neighbour . * and tho move especially so , if the English workmen will insist on sueh an adjustment of taxation as will make his state burdens equal with those of other countries . _JEsas Dalv , Babnslex , is not justified in coming to the conclusion liis letter betokens . The Star is not less disposed to expose "persecution , " "tyranny , " and "wrong" than it ever was ; bat with every disposition to do this , if is not foolish enough to run its head into tbe tiger ' s mouth of the law . Jf Mr . jDaly had had to pay £ 000 for merely inserting a letter from a "poor

      correspondent , " as the _proprietor of the Star has had to do , we fancy he too would have declined to insert such an epistle as he sent to us , of the non-insertion of which ho now complains . He may have done " everything i " Ms power to forward , the interests of the Star , " but that does not giro him a " claim" to have a letter inserted which would involve other parties in ruinous costs and damages . The admission of such " a claim" would bo anything but " serving the interests ofthe Star . " On tliat ground , and that ground only , was his letter declined , Mis other request cannot be complied with ; we do not preserve rejected correspondence . J . A . _' s poetry is inadmissible .
