They are demanding the abolition i force forced labour—that is , their owrf emancipation ; 3 , 3 if y if the Polish nobles have found them enemies . _«« An _* Anstriana have not found them friends .

[ From the Democratic Parifique . } 3 The great TWlwh journals remain silent on the Pol Polish insurrection , and nothing has transpired in pai parliament concerning it . However , we must not cos conclude that the cause of Polish liberty does not oW obtain any sympathy among the English people . On tin tJie eontraiy , the proletarians en masse , and the _po * popular journals , pronounce themselves energetically ia is favour of this noble cause . The Northern Star has of made an appeal tothe Chartist party , and calls on ev every one to subscribe , be it even for a small sum , in or order to show the sympathy of the whole English p , people for unhappy PoUrd .

      After all we hare heard from our neighbours , it is ti to be presumed , that if the Polish revolution should 5 spread in the Slavonian countries , and is able to r resist the first efforts of Russia and Austria , England i is _ereatly disposed to pronounce itself in favour of _i the national unity of Poland .

      Asii-Militia Association.—All Persons De...

      Asii-Militia _Association . —All persons desirous of becoming agents , and having their names and addresses printed on tha rules as such , are requested to transmit tlieir names immediately to the secretary , "EuSCSD Stallwood , atthe € hartist Go-operative Land Society OSce , _Dcau-street , Soho , Loudon . "—Mareh 18 th , 1816 . The Lasd . — We _haie received several communications of estates to he sold , for which we thank our Manas , and request that we may still continue to receive notices that come within the reach of the several

      secretaries . T . S ., _HiXCHESHS . —William Carpenter , the Editor oi LlopFs Weekly Newspaper , was the first per « on who introduced thesubjectof physical force in the Convention _oflSSS . He sat undertwo spears crossed , and declared they were the physic-moral-arms of Chartism . He was one of the party who was chiefly instrumental in _deceiving Frost as to the intentions and state of preparedness ofthe people . He got _blazing drank as chair man of the dinner given to Mr- Buncombe alter th « presentation ofthe national petition , made a most violent physical-force speech , and brought Chartism into such contempt , that many left the room _declaring that Chartism was "the mere howl of drunken destructives . "

      J . B ami . — We fear that neither petitioning , nor any other step that be eould take , would jet him justiee : justice is only for the rich , not for the poor . _GesebaV Asswebs . —It wonld be ntttrly impossible for Mr . O'Connor to answer by letter the sereral private communications that he receives—it would more than occupy his _ereiy hour . Hi . G . IIesbemos , Newtown , Kircaldy . —Gree * cover * . alone are tbe indication of the termination of the quarter . _Yourt was not a green one . _Yexe * -v Patbiots * asd Exiles * Widows aud Children's Fcsds . —I he ; to acknowledge thc receipt of 6 s . 6 d . from Mr . Thomas Jameson , Drypool _, Hull Hy own humble efforts , 1 am gratified to state , have this week also added 17 s . lOd . to our receipts—viz ., 10 * . hy last Sundav evening ' s lecture at the Partheniuai , after

      deducting expense of room ; and 7 s . lOd . hy last Monday evening ' , lecture at Colchester , Essex , after _deducting _trareUin _*? expenses . —Thomas Coofeb , _Secretarr , 131 , _fflackfriafsRoad .

      TRADES AXD TRADES' UXIOXISTS . _£ y Since the commencement of this paper ' s existence it has ever betn our first care to make known through its columns the wrongs and grievances of the working classes . Whether or no the parties aggrieved coincided with us in politics , it was sufficient for ns that they were oppressed , to at once induce ns to open our colunms lor tbeir statements . But with tbe best inteauons , it is clear we cannot alwavs serve tbe working _tumi if the worMng men themselves will sot do tlieir business in a business-like way . . Repeatedly , we are bUm « d for not giving publicity to matters of which we receive no account whatever ; or we are f _.. unafaultwithfor *' ctttti « g'lown '' areport that comes to us iu so " questionable a shape" that its appearance

      in the state received by us would do the parties sending it more harm than good . Anoth er complaint made bv some of our correspondents is , that we postpane reports or addresses , not inserting them ami ! tbe week after they are sent to us . Last week we received a communication from Leeds _pnrportins to be a report of a tailors * delegate meeting holden in that town . The meeting commenced on Monday , March 2 nd , and we received a report of two days proceeding * os Thursday , March 13 th . We heard HO more from tie Tailors' Conference until Thursday last , March Mtli , ft lieu a person called at the office with , several _eulumni of matter , which , of _course , we could do nothing with , our first edition being then nearly filled up . A strike of tlie building trade has been going on in Manchester

      since Monday , the 2 nd of March . Xot a word did w » receive from the proper quarter of this strike until Thursday morning , March lath , when we received an address from the Central Committee of London Trades , which , being within reasonable compass , we gave to the compositors . The same evening we received two parcels , one from Manchester and one from Hull { where the sailors are on strike ) . These parcels contained huge placards , printed matter and manuscript , which altogether would havo filled nearly a pigs of llie Star . At the time those parcels were received , tbe compositors had matter in hand fully sufficient to fill tlie Erst edition . Friday morning we have not time to put in type more than a very small quantity of matter . We , therefore , cannot do anything this week with the matter received from Manchester and Hull . We must

      add that the Hull placard we might and ought to have received a week ago , and most of the Manchester copy should hare been here several days ago ; indeed , oue of tbe placards was printed so far back as March 3 nd . So long as the business of the trades is conducted iu this slorenlj- manner , we cannot , and wiU not , be held responsible for the non-insertion of their communication's .

      Suicide Of Captain M'Leod , Of The Great...

      SUICIDE OF CAPTAIN M'LEOD , OF THE GREAT LIVERPOOL STEAMER . By the arrival of the Peninsular and Oriental Company ' s steam-shi p Queen , Captain Russell , at Southampton , we learn the melancholy intelligence of the suicide of Captain _M'Leod , late of the Great Liverpool steamer , which was so recently wrecked ofi Corunna . It appears that he had seen all saved from the wreck placed on mules and in carts , to be taken to Corunua , and just as all was ready to start the captain gave up a hundred sovereigns to the consnl , stating that they were cumbersome , and belonged to some party in London The consul took charge of them , and Captain M . returned into the inn . He stayed rather longer than was expected and when the servant went to his room he was quite dead , having , in cutting his throat , nearly severed his head 'rom his body . Captain M'Leod has left a wife and a « 'ge young family , with prospects of an early increase . His remains were buried at the _village of Goo , where the iatal act took place . °

      Mowday. To Bx Or Mt W Be ?—How Often Has...

      MOWDAY . To bx or mt w be ?—How often has the popular candidate , surrounded by the enthusiastic spirit of his admirers , mistaken their confident expression of success as the sure indication of victory ! The present struggle between the quiet confident Lords , lying by fora "lurch /' and thegabbling young Commoners Tery much reminds usol the conscious security of the candidate of the blectors , while the choice of the non-electors serves but to amuse him . The hands held up to-day are struck down and paralysed by tho votes registered on the morrow . New , so it is with the Lords . We affirm , as we have frequently asserted , tbat Stanley will lead on the old dukes and the young hereditary peers against the great captain and his confiding fogies , and that they will either throw the

      measure out , so damage it that the Commons must reject it , or keep it suspended in debate until frightened by the prospect of a bad harrestand actual famine , or emboldened by the prospect of a good _harrest , avid the cry _thit the famine spoken of as existing months ago has not yet arrived . The abandonment of theskirmishing fightby the Protectionists in the Commons was rather a part of their tactics than any proof of their acquiescence in any portion ol the measure . However , end as the controversy may between Peers and ComnwuOTs , Protectionists and Free-Traders , Monopolists and anti-Monopolists , we

      now , with nearly two months * experience furnished by the debate before ns , and strengthened by the manly expomre of Mr . Duncombe in the Ilouse of Commons on Friday last , assert confidently that for every shilling saved to the workman in the price of produce , fourteen pence will be stolen from him in the shape of reduced wages , if labour docs not interfere in time . Now , what is the proof that Mr . Duncombe has given , and we here insert'it in large type , full , whole , and entire , in order that every working man in the kingdom should preserve it as the index pointing to his share of the promised blessings trom extended trade and unfettered speculation : —

      " Mr . Duncombe called the attention of the house to the article of bronze powder , whicli was much used as a raw material in the process of paper-staining , and observed that it was greatl y desired b y the p aper-stainers that tlus article sliould come in duty free . The master paper-stainers , it had heen represented to him ,, were determined that , hy the reduction ofthe duty on stained paper , the loss , if any , should not tall upon them , and they told their workmen so . He had been informed that , in one case , an extensive employer was holding back a fifth ofthe men ' s wages till this question was settled . Now , he held it to he very unfair towards tbe workmen tliat all the loss

      should fall upon them . The masters said they wcre not able to compete with the forei gn paper-stainers , who , in addition to other advantages , paid no excise dut y upon the article . He wished to ask the rig ht hon . baronet if ho would not remit thc whole of the protective duties upon bronze powder and p igments ?" Now , lest any man may suppose that Mr . Duncombe ' s statement was a mere repetition oi an unfounded assertion made bv the men , let us hear what Sir George Clerk , tho minister who manages the Trade Department , says in reply to Mr . Duncombe : — Sir George Clerk had had an interview with a deputa . tion of paper-stainers a few days ago , when they made statements similar to those put forward by the lion ,

      _gentltman . Let the working men well consider this subject . We hare now for many , many years written and spoken upon it , and we are not prepared to retract a sentence that we have uttered , but , on the contrary , we now repeat that free trade , if not accompanied by such measures as the _workingclasses can-now enforce from divided faction , will lead , firstly , to poverty , dependence , and _degradation , and theu to revolution , distraction , destruction , and strife . The people now have everything in their power : let the free trade chain be quietly rivetted upon them once , and tliey are powerless , except through revolution . Labour must have its Parliament , or labour must succumb to the Parliament of capitalists .

      A Nice Mas ' tor a Small _Partv . —Ignorance of the working classes is the great cause assigned for withholding the franchise from them . No value is attached to ihe knowledge o f building a louse or furnishing it and decorating it—no importance is attached to feeding , clothing , warming , and in every way sustaining its idle inmates ; no importance is attached to tlie performance of _tluke several works which , if not performed by the industrious , thc ignorant wealthy would starve and die . If we are to look for knowledge anywhere , surely it is within the precincts of tbe court , and in the neighbourhood of Eton College , and from the first magistrate of Windsor—he has the opportunity of picking up a bit of " lar . vi . vo , " and even a smattering of Latin , from

      the younggentlemen of Eton ; and now let us see how far this important officer is gifted with that important thing called knowledge . Last week he presided at an election for the borough , and the fight being all upon one side , he had no opportunity of displaying his partiality for the court candidate . When the proceedings wero over , a vote of thanks , as is usual in such cases , was proposed to his worship the mayor , when , in reply , the first magistrate of Wiudsur said , " I am sure I have every reason to be grateful to those honourable gentlemen who have so cordially drank my health . ( Three cheers , and 'Long life to you ! _' ) Yes , he repeated it . He was unaccustomed to public speaking , and had his health so ofteii drunk at small toe-parties , that he thought the present was a repetition of the many such compliments that had

      been paid to him . " What would be said of a Chartist thatdidn ' _tknowthedirfercncelietweenanelection and a tea-party ? We can furnish but one parallel for this case of ignorance . Amongst military men , "General Breczo" is a _faiourite toast , and means " the glass . " A very ignorant Irish middleman , who was appointed to the commission of the peace , but who couldn ' t write his own name , by some accident or other was invited to dine at the mess of a regiment whose officers he had allowed to sport over his grounds . After the usual catalogue of toasts was exhausted , till ) commanding officer said , " Come , gentlemen , I'll give you ' General Breezo !' " " Aye , a" n it , " exclaimed the middleman justice , starting to his feet , "I'll drink that fellow ' s health ; that ' s the fellow that saved as from Boney , though I forget where he signalised himself . "

      O'Cosskll asd thk Welsh Martyrs . —We have received several letters inquiring whether or no it is true that Mr . _O'C-nneit pledged himself to vote for the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones . Yes , it is quite true that he pledged himself to Mr . Duncombe to vote for the motion , and yet that neither he nor a single joint of his tail , although they were all in the liouse nearly up to the hour of the division , voted for it . This is too bad , and made apparently more galling to us by the fact that on the very day ol that division we paid £ 1 17 s . 6 d . expenses , in r urred by getting up the Covent Garden demonstration , on tlie 1 st of July , on behalf of O'ConneU and thc other Irish prisoners ; but we richly deserve it for resting any bone on such rotten reeds .

      Russell asd the Whigs . —There remains not a _shaduw oi doubt tliat Russell ' s motion , to be brought on after Easter , relative to the state of Ireland , is intended as a feeler for power . It is always after Easter that the " sessional battle" really commences ; it is after Easter tbat we shall have the bidding for public favour ; it is after Easter that we should contrive to have our flock ready to exhibit in the best possible state . Again , we repeat that no Chartist constituency will have to pay more than the travelling expcn > es of their delegates ; and that , therefore , it is the bounden duty ef every constituency to be prepared , without delay , with a delegate ready for the emergency , and the Executive will issue tlieir instructions in time , as to the number to constitute the Convention and the places from whence delegates are to come .

      Trade . —From the several manufacturing districts the trade reports are more awful , in consequence of the anticipated future , than even from the present depression . From Bradford , we learn that an immense quantity of machinery is idle , while hands are unemployed , prices looking down , and speculators cautious . In Manchester , the masters are so anxious to have the first shot at free trade , that most of the building trades have been compelled to strike . We may be told that they have struck , not against a reduction of wages , but for increased wages . So they ought !—that is the moat legitimate of all strikes . The masters have entered into extensive contracts , which Peel ' s tariff will enable them to complete much below the estimate at which they have taken them ; and as labour is the important material in all such contracts , why , we sliould be glad to know , should it not have its shave in the benefits of free trade ? Will the contractors

      offer their employers a drawback upon the estimated sum ? WiU they say—'' I con tracted for £ 1600 when prices were so-and-so—I now find that I can execute thc work at £ 2011 under that amount , and I will give you the benefit of the reduction ? " Nut a bit of it . They will persuade the em ployer that the proposed tariff has actually thrown impediments in their way . Now , we will give the . Manchester trades a little counsel : tliey should only strike in cases where specific agreements for the performance of the work at a certain time exist , and then , not to allow the masters to have all the talk at their side , they should scud a respectful deputation to the person for whom the c ntract was undertaken , and state their case , requesting him not to grant an extension of time . It was by the government aiding Peto aud Grissell in this way , that enabled them to heat their hands ; whereas , if kept to thc performance ofthe contract , the men would have triumphed . j

      Corn Trade . —Notwithstanding the continuous attempts of the free traders , the tender-hearted millers cannot be induced to purchase beyond the hand to mouth supply . Indian corn is coming in wholesale , and every quarter of Indian corn that comes iu ,

      Mowday. To Bx Or Mt W Be ?—How Often Has...

      stands as a competitor to every home-grown quartet of wheat . IVe may be told , that bread made from Indian corn is not as good as bread made from wlieatcn flour ; we admit it . Neither is salt pork as good a * roast beet , and yet , if the price of salt pork was twopence a pound , the Drice of beef would be commensuratcly reduced , _hishis neither beef nor mutton , and yet , when fish is yew plenty and very choap , it is made a substitute f 0 r beef and mutton . It is singular , however , that the reduced price of wheat has not had the effect of _commenaurately reducing the price of bread . We are sorry to be obliged to _rocur to our old lessons ; but we have often told the _workins-elasiie 8 that no Parliamentary regulation will _xtsuUte the retail price of the W 0 RK 1 NGMAN'MjOAF .

      Thb Loxdon Tailors asd their Employers . — More of the blessings of free trade , with uncontrolled power in tlie hands of capitalists , are being daily exhibited in the tailoring department . The masters have reduced wages by ninepenee in every two shillings , or about thirty-live per cent . ; while they are also actually overholdtng work in expectation of cheap food making still cheaper wages . Again , we ask , if it is not time Ibr labour ' s parliament to _assemble in the metropolis , and for labour to have a mighty demonstration after its day ' s toil , to enforce such TIMELY CONCESSIONasthenccessitv of the times demand ? We are even fearful that labour will again allow its hour of triumph to pass .

      Mom as » Share Market . —These twin devils are still suspended between hope and fear . The hope of free trade , and the fear of war keeps up such a Stock Exchange fever , as to make it impossible for the speculators to operate without considerable risk ; and the Times , as is its custom , is playing fast and loo _. < e with the war question . Shares are , and have been for sometime , at a stand-still , and the luudsaru looKingdown .

      Famise asd _Pbstilknck . — These are the Insu twins , and are gaining daily strength . We _caunot much rely upon the interested information we receive from the patriots or the free traders , while we give with sorrow the following extract from a letter received from a relation of our own : — " As to the seed potatoes you write for , you cannot form the least idea of thc difficulty in getting them here , or of the shod r ing state of distress that threatens us . Two Neapolitan vessoh , laden with potatoes , have put into Cork , and many GENTLEMEN are actually purchasing them at 8 d . a stone , in expectation that the demand ibr seed will increase tho price , and give

      them a profit . All those families who used to feed their servants partly upon potatoes hare now , one and all , been obliged to substitute bread ; in fact , the newspapers convey but a very slight notion of thc present state of the country , and the mucb worse state that threatens us . Seed potatoes that used to be fourpencc a weight for good ones , are now selling for a shilling a weight for bad ones . "—Would not the English Chartists be represented by the Conciliation llall patriots as savages and monsters if , under such circumstances , they resisted what even PROMISES TO BE A BENEFIT ? Depend upon It , the Chartists are right in not resisting free trade , and are just as right in resolving to have their full share of any benefit that accrues from it .

      Coeucios . —We are not , on the first day of the week , in a sufficiently amiable temper to write upon a law which subjects the Irishman who shall be found out of his house an hour before sunset , to transportation for fifteen years ; but this we will say—Oh ! that the Irish people * had the Polish leaders , or that the Polish 1 > _. aders had the Irish peop le ! This is not onl y a damnable bill , but an infernal , rascally , bloodthirsty , rcbclious bill . Muhdeks is Ireland . —While the Times is labouring hard at its beastly vocation to bring Irelaud and the Irish priesthood into odium and contempt , we will here relate an anecdote , which bespeaks the Irish feeling as to what murder really is . Some few years ago , an English capitalist purchased an estate in the county of Tipperary , and proceeded by the Cork coach to Cashel to take possession . A respectable old dame , a fixture , had been in the habit of attending tho _passengers while at tea . The purchaser had heard several conversations in the cuach

      as to the _disturbed state of Tipperary , and the numerous murders that were said to be committed there . When the passengers had started , tlie stranger said to thc dame . " Pray , my good woman , is it true that there are so niauy murders committed in this country ? " " Wisha then , my God , who tould your honour the like of that ? Sure , then , the devil a murder is ever committed here ; and I'll engage but that there ' s not quieter boys nor the Tipperary boys . " "Well , but I understand that they murder tbeir landlords and the proctors here frequently . " " Oh , wisha , is it them sort ? Yea , them , to be sure , they knocks the bruins out of them landshnrks and them tithe devils now and then ; and how can the craythurs help it ? Sure , when the devil cr ever they'll Jet them alone , but worrying them and harassing them , and driving them out of their lives ; but I declare to God the wonder is that they lets one of them sort live at all . "

      FOREIGN . America . —It appears that the Cambria mail packet set off with one side of the question , aud oniy brought half mails—the peaceable halves—while , somehow or other , the warlike halves have been smuggled in ; and it appears , after all tho pacific declarations , that we are to have war . Indeed , the activity recently displayed at our dockyards leaves not a shadow of doubt upon the _subjecf , and , as we stated five months ago , the first announcement that the nation will receive from Sir _llobi-rt Peel will be something like the celebrated declaration of Mr . Canning , " that three war ships are now on their way to chastise Jonathan aud to assert ouit _kiuut to tho Oregon territory ; " but Jonathan _rcniembers the old story , — " Catch a weuzel asleep , and shave his eyebrow . "

      Polasd . —The tyrants have not yet succeeded in subduing the rebellion of the natives against their tyrant usurpers ; and , however the unholy triple alliance may remain in quiet possession of Cracow , we hope and trust that the attempt at national _regeneration now spreading throughout the land will be ultimately successful ; and , should it even fail new , we trust that a universal , not a mere national association , will be established , entitled Poland ' s _regeneration society , and that the work will go on incessantly , until the great object of Poland ' s regeneration is accomplished .

      TUESDAY . Lxoislatios . —The- variety of our legislation must be amusing to foreigners : we read of railways and fever in Ireland , coercion and paper-staining , Irish Arms Act and horrors of the Poor Law Amendment Bill , murders of rich individuals , and of thousands of poor but unprotected Irishmen , almost in the same breath ; and eager * as the new school ol political economists may be to inculcate the doctrine of buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market , of the glorious spirit ef rivalry and speculation , and ot the honest reward of commercial industry , we never can , and never will , enter into the philosophical consideration of those circumstances which create a class of overwealthy , gorging oppressors , and a class

      of stunted , famishing oppressed . We will continue to preach the doctrine , because we entertain it , that no idler has a right to his dinner until every man who is willing to work for one has had a good one . The righteous rules of nature have been wholly subverted . It is cruel , nay , it is unchristian , immoral , and wc will add illegal , to see fox-hunting idlers and voluptuous pleasure-hunters niockhi ;* honest poverty , and making the disparity between the idle aud the industrious so ganhigl y striking tu the latter . There is no great branch of t > ur glorious institutions , whether in Church or State , that does not cost more money than the feeding uf all the poor in England . It may be considered prosy in us , but we will repeat it until we convince every man of its truth , tbat one idler in each parish has a much

      larger income than is allowed for tllO maintenance of the remainder of tliw inhabitants ; that the Church property alone , if laid out iu the purchase ot lands for the people , would locate five millions upon two acres each—that is , would support iu affluence and comfort hard upon _doubleourpopulation—TlVENi'YFIVE MILLIONS—and spent as it is now , it produces brothels , incest , immorality , ignorance , deception , infidelity , hypocrisy , indecency , uncharitableness , lewdness , druukenuess , strife , debauchery , rape , rapine ,, and murder ; in fact , the State Church of England is the mother of all mischief and tlie father of all crime , and wo will gladly join in the establishment of an Anti-Church League , or lest that might sound as heterodoxy in the ears of the ignorant , an Anti-Tithe League .

      'Ihe Army . —io follow on this subject , there is paid for the support of an insolent , idle soldiery , as much annually as would locate lour million heads of families upon two acres each of the best land in England—that is , twenty millions of human beings could live happily , and furnish a more extensive market than the world now presents to the manufacturing interest as customers ; but then , oh then , the devil" wages" steps in , and they discover thatit a man knew the value of nis free labour , to make profit , tliey should work all by inanimate machinery . iVelf , be id so . Vl ' c now Jay down a principle which we defy mortal man to upset—it is the very opposite of free trade , it is total prohibition of every single article produced by native industry , provided the free

      labour market « as open to that industry . Now , we'll explain . If even one million heads ot families _vterfi located upon land on lease for ever , we would rejoice to see nothing " - ae ( I except what was produced at home—that is , as astaple . Wo should wish to _sfe a total prohibition agaiust all manufactures , an / A \ _y _% should not object then to see machinery flying _awny for twenty-four hours a day for six days in _the / week . ; and ue pledge ourselves , with _theseiticrcaser ' _x f ' aciJities of production , that its produce would ' oe treble its present amount , in consequence of the increased ability of the free labourers to puvclifiae it . Oi course , we would not deny admission to articles of luxury , or to the importation of such -Articles as r

      English industry , the English climat' . or _English Lnglisii industry , urn _English climat ' _^ „ English soil could not furnish ; while , if a If _, ir chance waa g iven to these , the exceptions would ' be rare and few The fact is , that man , nut so much 5 . „ ignorance as _i-. v consequence of active _engajjemttu' in exiatiuti pur-

      suits , fancies that what he _iseiijoyiDg is a blessing , and that he enjoys it in the onlv mode in which it could be enjoyed , but he never thinks of valuable substitutes : th » s , thirty years ago , if a man was told that he never again should have a candle in his house , he would fancy himself condemned to eternal darkness ; but gas now furnishes a very good substitute . So , with regard to travelling—if at the same period a man was told that lie should never again go from London to Birmingham on foot or by horse power , he would despair of seeing Birmingham during his natural life . The same may be said of steam navigation , the printing-press , and all the operations now performed by steam . Well , then , wo use the argument to show that there is not half that value in existing

      institutions and things which ignorance attaches to tttcm _. We are now only speaking of this new theory ; hut , with God ' s blessing , before this day twelvemonths , wc will furnish a practical illustration of it , and before this day live years , whatever may be the result of Peel ' s measures , and however necessary they may be in tlie present state of Ireland , we shall have a Parliament representing a completely new state of thinys , a new country , and a new mind , capable of forcing new opinions upon new men . TnK Navy . —Tlie same may be said of this glorious branch of tlm nation ' s pritle . The annual amount spent upon this department , maintained for the sole purpose of being insolent to foreigners and bullying the natives , would also locate four million heads of

      families , or twenty million individuals upon the land . The London Police . —The money paid annually to tliese skull-cracking rulh ' ans , theso kitchen spies and pimps , would locate two hundred thousand heads of families upon the land , or one million of human beings ; and , in all cases , wo estimate tho land at a pound an acre . Is this a Christian country , then ? Is this a civilised country , when a church , an army , and a navy receive as much annually as would pay a pound an acre for twenty-six million acres of land ; and which , at two acres to a family , would locate thirteen million heads of families , and at five to a family , would maintain sixty-live millions ot a population in peace , comfort , and happiness , and make them actual competitors for all that our present amount of machinery could produce ? And yet these Malthusiaiis tell us that thc land is over-populated , and that the restriction on commerce acts injuriously to the working classes . Bother!—letliiboni

      protect itself , and England in three years would be thc finest country in 'tlie world , EXCEPT IRELAND . Now , this may not be _considerid as a legitimate summary of the week ' s news ; but wc contend that it is the most _legitimate summary , because it is a complete answer to tho horrible blasphemy preached on Monday night in the Ilouse of Commons . Moreover , it is precisely that description of news that we wish thc working men to understand , because thoy must be acquainted with their degraded position , their power to elevate themselves , and the better prospect- - which present themselves from their union . The Law . —We _climate the money expended in this department , much below its real figure , at twenty millions per annum , not a farthing of which would be necessary in a well-regulated state of society ; aud this amount , at two acres to a family , would _locaie ten million heads of families , or a population of fifty millions , upon the land .

      The National Debt . —The interest paid upon this debt , incurred for the preservation of Church and State ascendancy , would locate fourteen million heads of families upon two acres each , or a population oi seventy millions . Now , those are all cruelties which injustice imposes upon the working classes ; and , as they have been severally perused , we make no doubt that many a reader has said , "Eh , but it ' s true ; " and "but it ' s shocking , " and " 1 never knew it before" Now , see what labour imposes upon itself . Drunkenness . —This item far surpasses all others put together in amount , in injustice , and in sad result . __ In amount , because it exceeds the others ; in injustice , because here drunken , dissipated labour preys upon sober , _virtueus industry . It is not tlie

      tyrant that oppresses here , or rather , it is not the irresponsible tyrant—it is the unnatural tyrant father , tliat oppresses his wife and childnn—the tinnatural tyrant son , that oppresses his _parents and family ; this is the most unnatural of all tyranny . Oh ! that we could spend ono year ' s dissipationmoney upon locating drunkards on the soil ; and we would be satisfied , after one year ' s _probation , to vest the government of tho country in their hands ; because they would pass the strongest laws against a vice of which . they had been the victim *; and because justice must- always flow from a representation of the sober mind of the country . We assert , without fear of contradiction , that the majority in the present liouse of Commons owe their scats to drunkenness . We know that many readers would rather see our

      space devoted to murders , rapes , and police news , but this is the very depraved taste that wo seek to destroy . Poor Laws . —The money spent annually in degrading honest poverty amounts to more than eight millions a year ; a sum that would locate four million heads of families on two acres each , or a population of twenty millions . Now , is not this a sad but true picture of the present condition of England ; aud will not our friends bear in mind , that in November , 1 S 35 , we told them , that in two years , labour could purchase the church property of the country ; in live years labour could purchase all the land of thc country ? And yet , after eleven years , wa are obliged thus to commence the ABC of this svstem of education for them .

      FOREIGN . America . —The news from America is considered unfavourable by the 'Change banditti , and the Times has the insolence to proclaim the falsehood , that the national mind of England would prefer war with America to any further _giving way upon the part of our government . We tell tlie Times , and we tell the world , that the Northern Star , and the Northern Star alone , speaks the national mind , and that that mind is against war ; but if that war should be considered inevitable to presorveand uphold the league of kings , aud their intervention with American policy , that , however the national mind of England may regret the loss of English life in a struggle for monarchical ascendancy , that the English people , in such event , would rejoice in the triumph of the Republican army over English mercenaries . Wo tell the Times move , that the English people , if indeed they constitute any portion of the nation , will neither aid nor assist THEIR GOVERNMENT in a war with America ;

      but , on the contrary , will present every constitutional passive resistance to such a project . We early foretold that the piolligate press _i > f England would make a money-jobbing speculation of the American news , and we were right . Poland . —We rejoice to think , that notwithstanding the cold-blooded indifference of the English press with respect to the present glorious struggle by the Poles for the regeneration of their country , that the English mind is about to be aroused to a pciibrmaiice of its duty on behalf of this gallant nation . Today a respectable deputation of foreigners waited upon Mr . O'Connor , to request that he would become treasurer tothe

      _POLAtiD REGENERATION FUND . And , however the present struggle for liberty may terminate , ic is the intention of a new society , entitled— Poland ' s regeneration society , to continue their labours , in peace or in war , by the publication of tracts , the diffusion of knowledge upon the history of Poland , the brutal tyranny of its oppressors , by public lectures and otherwise , and to keep np and maintain an effective agitation for this glorious purpose , in which every officer , from the highest to \\\ i lowest , regardless of labour and danger ,

      will be expected to discharge the duties of then several offices without fee , salary , or reward . It is useless to look to the lords and ladies , who will only move to Weippert ' s band in the cause of Poland ; they would ahow the Polish serfs to hug their chains , if unrivettiiijj them was calculated to loosen the English fetters . The hour has arrived when labour must do its own work , and ti ght its own battles . We rejoice to find that the veterans who are still in exile for endeavouring to give liberty to their own country are yet alive to the cause of Poland , and in proof ot which we give the following extiact irom the French

      press : — In Paris subscriptions are being raised towards _obtaininy arms aud rations for the insurgents ot' _Voluutl . The subscription list includes tlio maims of muuy deputies , and among numerous other _subseribiros occurs the name of Arthur O'Conuor , so well _kuowator the part he _pUvftti _during the rebellion in Ireland .

      WEDNESDAY . The Land . —The most important _newsof this day , at all events to our readers , is , that the auctioneer who sold the property that we purchased ibr _£ 1 _, S _( 50 on Friday week ,, has just called to after us TWO THOUSAND _rQiUNDS FOR THK PURCHASE , meaning , we have-no doubt , if we expressed a desire to sell , to make it _fcisro thousand five hundred . However , we will estira & _t-is our day ' s work merely at the £ 140 profit , and we-will ask whoever returned so much to thcpeople _' u _ext-heuuer inonedav ? Had henncred

      the _£ 2 , 5 ljft we should have rejected it ; so that we may calculate that we have done a good day ' s work for our friends . "What will tho brawlers say to this ? Will t ' iiey now continue to din into our ears the folly ol the Chartists not being able to buy land with money as e _' oeap as other people ? Wc continue to receive paakages of letters congratulating us upon the first P ' _livchaac of land for tlui people . We hope by next _viaturd . ty , ihe 28 th of March , to be able to astonish the weak minds of those who foreboded such evil things of our regeneration society .

      No _Yot-aI m Musky , - * . ' . —At length the people are beginning to take up the anti-milhia question , as will be seen by our subscription list of this week . As Mr . Edmund Stallwood is secretary , we have to request that all money letters fowarded to Mv . O'Connor may contain a list of _dctiiils _, to be handed to Mv .

      IRELAND . Brian _Seert . —It will be seen with pleasure that thc English people are i \ solved that the widow and orphans of this murdered man shall not starve . There was a letter in the Time * of Saturday , Mailed " Ii . M ., " which we take tu mean REAL MURDERER , to which we shah devote more extensive comment , merely observing for the present that a more gross and scandalous libel upon the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland , und the Irish people , never appeared in print , while the libeller at the same time unintentionally , no doubt , acquits Seery of the murder , and saddles himself as an accessory alter the fact , and ,

      consequently , is a principal , for all accessories , in casts of muider _. areprincipals . The Times , true to its savage calling , is doing mi ue than ever the Or _.-i uge _Assoi-i _.-i tion attempted—to get up aA'O POPE 1 U' cr . v in _England . Not a number that ( Iocs not teem with palpable falsehood , with lying abuse ofthe Catholic _priesthood , and with vituperative dcnunciiiiion of li eland and the Irish . The conductors of this journal sent an English apodal pleader to repoi tupon the suite ol Ireland , who actually didn ' t know whether a calf was under his btd or in the street , and finished his labours , as they were intended , b y an _llldividliuj _> _quiibble with a political opponont . We ' ll meet those fellows once moro at _Phillipi _,

      UPON THE HUSTINGS , where we have met them before , and there we will uot allow them to separate thunucivcs from the responsibility of their tools und their _p-ipor . We were willing to _forget ro & lw tof Mr . Walter ' s sin > , and to wish ; o see hiin once more opposing the Poor Law Amendment Act iu the House ot Commons , but he lias cancelled the good he has done by the lnanv _Jibels he ha * published against Ireland , the Irish , ami their revered priesthoou . That , Seery was murdered no matt can now doubt , and we shall jnove it , even if all other evidence of his innocence was deficient Irom the pen of the Real Murderer ,

      Conciliation Hall . —Irish ignorance of the English mind was never more manifest timu in the speech of o Mr . Mitchell , an attorney , who took the chair at the last meeting in Conciliation Hull , iu speaking of the Times' abuse of Mr . O'Brien , this attorney savs , "itis an index ofthe _Eiiglislifeciing towards Ireland " . " Now , he knows no more of thc English mind than a hedgehog knows of theology , but he did know that a part of the tactics of Conciliation Llall is to keep the Irish mind in a state of jujmrai . ee as to English feeling . If he knows anything , he might have known that the English people actually fed more for the Irish than they do tor themselves , and that thev have bestirmi themselves more on Irish than oil English subjects . Where , we wouid ; isk , were the patriots while poor Seery was being legally murdered , and while ihe Northern Star was proclaiming , that if

      he was tried a second time he would be murdered ? What have they done for the victim ' s family ? Mr . Grattan said , " that thc present policy of the English press was to hunt down all who struggled for Irish nationality . " Now , we tell Mr . Grattan tbat the policy of the Irish patriots is to hunt down all who fight the battle of Ireland otherwise than by obtaining seats in Parliament and *< crewing money out ofthe starving Irish . The Nortiurn Star has done move tor Irish liberty tlian the whole ot the Irish press put _together , aud Mr . Grattan knows this - . but he owes his return ibr the county of Mcath to the suppression ofthe fact , and the withholding from the Irish the real state of English feeling . We don ' t know what _busiliess these men can possibly have to talk about what they arc culpably ignorant of , or to withhold knowledge that would be serviceable to the Irish .

      Ooercio . v . —The patriots are now wrath about tho Coercion Bill ; while , the moment it was mentioned in the Queen ' s speech , we invited them to come to _England to defeat the minister who dared to propose it . We nfew tell the people ot Ireland , that if the Coercion Bill increases the Repeal rent , every patriot who lives upon it will bless it in , his heart ; but , thank God , the Irish people will have an opportunity of having it denounced from thc altar one day in every week ' 1 he Kent for the week , including £ 100 from New York , amounted to £ 24 !) . This sum would buy twelve acres and a half of excellent land , for ever , for the widow Seery and her famil y . We beg to move that it be appropriated to that purpose , if any patriot at Conciliation _iiail wiil second the motion . *

      Terrible Outrages In Ireland. Dublin, We...

      TERRIBLE OUTRAGES IN IRELAND . Dublin , _Wednesday . The intelligence from the country to-day is of the most painful character . In the long _catalogue of crimes reported , are—1 . Tho murder of Mr . Carrielc , a magistrate , in the county Clare . 2 . Attempt to murder Mr . Smith Blood , who lies dangerously wounded , in the same county . 3 . Murder of Dennis Mcaru , in the county Tipperary . 4 . Murder of Murphy , in the county of Waterford . Several cases of tiring into dwellings , threatening notices , and violent assaults , make up the frightful record for this day . 1 shsll now proceed with some of the terrible details .
