If they laughed heartily at the first , they will not find less cause for a few _cachinafions in the

You would not be able to match them , search all yonr National Galleries through , and your private exhibitions as weU . Where could you hope to f nd ' thdr like , for ease and freedom of drawing I And as for colour , the deepest lamp-black of a Sir Thomas Lawrence was moonlight grey compared to the mixture used by our artists .

We have reason to believe that it contains little more than a

      repetition of the old saws upon 'Land , Currency , and Exchange , ' the meaning of which it would puzzle ( _Edipos himself to discover .

IDLENESS , ILL TEMPER , and OVER-RE ACHIXG , are qualities that soon make themselves manifest , and destroy any sympathy one may have had , upon an imperfect knowledge , for the man in whom such qualities exist .

On the contranr , we always

      _-fteraly set our lace against _menaciugand violence , and coademned the course of those who indulged in the one , and excited people to the other . Instead of having -bten mixed up irith the men with whom it seems that O'B . has associated us , it is notorious , and stands recurded in the columns of the newspaper of the time , that we , upon several occasions , openly and formally -denounced them , when O'B . and O'C . meanly sneaked ¦ out of the way , ia order to avoid committing themselves » rith either party . There was , at the line , a newspaper which O'B . was in the habit of eulogising as the most Sanest and talented paper of the movement—we mean , hie True Scotsman ; and that paper , in a lengthy article , thus spoke of the person whom the disappointed and mortified O'B . maligns , as having been at once inrignificantandmischieTons : — _'Heis essentially one * f the Directors of the Convention . Tie is one of the

      great minds which can calmly , and without passion , tatei comprehensive view of the different conflictinff interests and feelings called up in a great national convulsion ; and he is most able , unmoved and quietly , to paint the finger of guidance to all the vast machinery hy which tbe changes are effected . * * * Me is no l * rtisan , and speaks lus mind in a most independent manner . * * * His unassuming manners keep him a good deal out of sight in the Convention , bathe is one of those men on whom great dependence niay belaid . When the storm comes , he will be a steady pilot / With such unboaght testimony as this , and an unswerving public career of eighteen years to refer to 'One is not very likely to be moved by anything that can lie uttered by such men as O'Connor or O'Brien . "—Of

      course , every one who sees the above wiU toiote that Carpenter has not seen the portrait of himsdf , painted hy his "friend . " That fact stands out apparent , in every dub of the above . Let no one whisper to the contrary : for if Mr .

      we do not intend to call in question tbe GREAT MIND which could calmly" and unmoredly GUIDE the vast machinery of axatwsal _cosvctsios , we may , be permitted to ask _wieritAsi'lLOT urns when he _woswanttdJ . ' Was he at the helm , guiding , " calmly and quietly , " the , vessel through the storm t .

" Let him not do ihs ; for fhe contrary is the fact , as we _htppen to know . The _onlyApportumty tbat we had of attending the "debates" of the farfamed Convention of whieh " our steady pilot" was

      essentially one of the "DircetOM , was on the occasion in Birmingham , when William Lovett moved his " moral force" rusolutiun , pledging the people to _hkvcsb * lx-HEsr or all bests , batis , a . nd taxes -r- " because , " said he , " it was necessary that the people should proclaim and make _Ol'ES WAR oh the Government !" which said " bullying" and " defying" resolution was strenuously so-pouted by W . Carpenter in the teeth of Mr . O'Connor ' s efforts to -save the people from being committed into the hands of the legal authorities by sueh a lawless and insane " act of violence . " 0 , well do we remember that day , and the " doings" and " sayings" of the respective parties in the convention . Unutterable disgust tilled the . mind at the shameless efforts of William Carpenter aud

      company , to produce a _satiosal convulsion through " . acts of viol « _ncc . " embroiling the people with ilie authorities , and rendering tliem liable to logal puilishment ; efforts only defeated by those who had been held up and denounced by these same " guilders of the machinery to effect change , " as inciters to " physical force .: " a disgust not lessened at hearing "J . B . O'B ., " fortwomortaliiours enumerate circumstaneesandfaets which pointed to tlie inevitable conclusion that both-William lovett aud William Carpenter hem is ivm _iax of the _Goveessujst to get the " honest inch " the Convention into trouble and danger . This he did to Mr . O'Connor , at that gentleman ' s hotel ; and used every art aud casuistry of whieh he is so rare a master , to induce Mr . O'Connor to denounce them as spies and traitors!—a thing which "J . B . O'B . " did not venture to do himself openly . But of course it was true courage to try to get your " friend ' . ' iuto a position whicli

      you dare not yourself assume : a point which , at the time seemed " to strike Mr . O'Connor ' mind ; for he very _signineautty bid " J . B . O'B . " do his own work , if he wanted it done : for , for himself , while he had no proof that the pardes named were acting the partof traitors or spies , he should content himself with endeavouring to counteract and avert the evil consequences likely to arise from their violent and mad proceedings . William Carpenter is not entitled to say that " he _always sternly set his face against menace and violence , and condemucd the course of those who indulged io the oue aud _exited to the other . " ne did not always so act . lle . did not do so ou the occasion wehave referred to ; nor did he do so , when , he tvp . concerned with the drawing up aiid puhlisliin ; ( jf the from the Arundel Coffee-house ; a document l : 3 diRs » - ' _'B .

The people are _toowMa-awake , either to be deceived by the miserable _con-joctio'Hs of Hill or Carpenter , whether signed " William _Wisb-Imay-get-it , " or «« An Independent English Chartist .- " The object aimed at by these worthies will not be attained . The means they have employed will alone ensure their defeat . It is too late in the day to bring to bear the fears and . _suspicisns of the working class against those who have served them—aud that too without fee or reward . They have learned to discriminate—to know their friends from those who make loud pretensions . The result will prove that they will repose confidence in the first , and laugh the latter out

      ofthe field . Meantime , we are about to let the people know _something of the two worthies that interest them _, selves so much in tlieir welfare . James Hill did lire at Wisbeack ; he was a public man there ; he had dealings with a public society ; he tried some scheme or other "for _National Regeneration ' " in his own way , and on his own account ; he failed ; he went into the bankrupt list ; and now he is abroad on the world , compelled to " pick up a living" as he best can .

Doyle : —Sir , —As any information which con be given at the present time upon the small allotment system , and the capabilities of the land to produce an abundance of . food by spade cultivation as contrasted with ' the plough , even with small farms , but more especially with large ones , maybe of importance to the working classes , who are generally readers ef your democratic journal , I submit a copy of a letter which I have just received from Mr . Thomas Croft , of Dodsworth , near Barnsley , hoping that you will oblige me by giving it insertion in the Star oi Saturday nest . _Chsistopheb Dotle . —Dodsworth , near Barnsley , June 30 th , 1843 . —Dear sir , —Mr . Wheeler sent us word to look out and send every

      information in our power respecting some allotments we have going on in our neighbourhood . I will state to you what we know on tbe subject The owner of the _iantl is John Spencer Stanhope , Esq ., a magistrate , living at Cannon Hall , near Cawthorne , two miles from where we reside . He had a farm , which the farmers one after another left , because they could not make it do . He ( the landlord ) let it _outiu allotments , to poor men , of from a quarter of an acre to two acres' each , about two years ago . A few friends accompanied me to sec it , and such crops of wheat , beans , and potatoes we never saw before , _considering thedisadvantages the poor men laboured uuder when they first took the land . The allotments are cultivated by the spade , with the exception of one , which has been ploughed , but this one

      is like " a _horse-chesnut to a chesnut horse . The owner has let sis acres more this year at a rental of £ 2 3 s . an acre , and had them well drained , and I assure you the land looks far better than any one could hare reasonably expected , taking into account its prerious state and appearance , and it i ' s confidently expected that the crop will yield eighteen loads of wheat , at three bushels to the load , which wiR be fifty-four bushels , or six quarters and six bushels . Near the same place there is nearly an acre of garden allotments , which look very well . One old man who has an allotment , upon which wheat and other food is _grewnSi toW us before he had it he worked on the n > ad for a shilling per day , hut slnca he got possession of the bit of land he gave up the job , as he could do well without it He further said

      that two acres of land , properly cultivated , would mamtain himself and family ( he has a cow ) , and declared he was happy and comfortable . All the men npon those allotments appeared to be well pleased with their condition , and Mr . Stanhope , I am'informed , intends letting six acres mora next year .

      _MixsiiAuciiTEn xkab Li . vcoi . x _* . —Tiie quiet village of SKeuingthorp , three miles from Lincoln , has been disturbed by an act of outrage , in which one man lias lost his " life by the violence of ano ther ? It appears that on Tuesday week a quarrel ensued between two men in the service of Mr . Ilealaml , farmer , ot that . village . ' William * Graham , more commonly _CilllCu GiilnCS _. ' a . labouring man , complained that the _wags > oner , William Parkes , bail been saying something prejudicial to his character . Grimes endeavoured to force his way into the stable , which was resisted by Parkes , who struck Grimes with his fist ; Grirae 3 then seized up a hoe , and with it struck

      Parkes on the head , levelling "him * to the" ground ; Grimes walked away , leaving his opponent senseless on the stable floor . More than an hour afterwards he was found lying in the stable in a state of insensibility ; he was taken into the house , and Mr . Hewson , surgeon , of Lincoln , was sent for , who found that Parkes ' s scull was fractured ; that gentleman was at' once aware the case was hopeless , and directed Grimes to be . taken , into custody . " -Parkes - lingered until Thursdav evening , and . then expired . During periods ofsens ' ibility he stated to Mr . Healand , his master , that he had struck the first blow .

      _Shockwo Cask op _SKUrDBSTRUCTios . —Last week anovel act of suicide , occurred on the North Midland Railway , near Leeds . ; As the seven o ' clock Sowerby i _Brioge train approached the bridge over the railway 1 s # Hunslet , tlie stoker observed a man throw himself down across the rails , and before he had time to give notice ofthe circumstance to the engine-driver , the whole train had passed over the poor fellow ' s body , which was afterwards picked iip in a dreadfully mutilated State , aud identified as that of John Sutcliffe _, warehouseman , a married man residing at North _Town-cud , Leeds . The head , the right leg ,, andthe ' left arm were entirely severed from the rest of the body . The train was proceeding at the regular speed at the time . It is supposed that the man , eontcni * plating suicide , had got over the wall of the bridge , and having descended the railway embankment , had

      hid himself behind an abutment , in order that he might not be seen until it was too late to stop the train . This seems very probable from the fact , that had he been on the line any length of time he would have been seen at the spot where the melancholy occurrence took place 200 or 300 yards off , in ample time for the engine to have been _stopped . The event can scarcely be considered the result of an accident , as no one can go on this part of the line without com . mitting a trespass . Deceased has left a wife and seven children . A woman attempted suicide by the same means only a few days ago , tut was rescued by the plate-layers on the line . The coroner ' s jury found a veraict to the effect "That ihe ' deceased destroyed himself whilst labouring umJer temporary insanity . " ' The jury also acquitted the engine driver and ail the other servants of the railway company from any blame .

A creaking noise haTing . been heard shortly before two o ' clock , tiie inmates became alarmed and left the premises . Three minutes after they had quitted their frail dwellings they were in ruins .
