      un dertaking . "We had , and we stated it , considerable m lsgmng as to the editorial _capabilitiss ofthe general class of authors , while the puDgency , raciness , and piquancy ef Jebkoid _' s writings , we thought , justified ns in making an exception in his favour . There is as much difference between book and newspaper literature , as there is between the slow pace of the lumbering waggoa-horse , that has his long and dreary journey to perform by night and by day , at the rate of two miles an hour , and the rattling speed ofthe high-mettled race-hoise , whose exercise finishes with his gallop .

      There is no ordeal more trying tlian that searching critisism to which a new acquaintance is subjected upon his first presentation to a strange circle ; and it act unfrequently happens that a first appearance is damaged by the overweening commendations of old friends , who have had frequent opportunities ef judging from solid worth and sterling qualities , more thou from a prepossessing exterior , or the more glittering and showy manners . In all those attributes , however , we find our fondest hopes disappointed , and our unwelcome anticipations realised . Oar new

      friend was presented to us with an awkward , Yulgar , and forbidding appearance , while a _seeond visit left us but little hope that within there was yet an undiscovered treasure . In such an undertaking as the _production of a daily newspaper , and especially uowa-days , when there is so much material for _architects who have acquired fame , to erect a temple of immortality , we had a right to expect , in the first number at least , such a development of principle as wonld lead to the conclusion that strict impartiality would constitute its leading feature .

      We were willing not only to ba tolerant , hut anxious to be lenient , and , therefore , we withheld more than a mere passing comment until the second number had made its appearance ; and having always looked to the -virtue , courage , aud independence of the newspaper press as the hulwark against tyranny , the promulgator of knowledge , tho defender of right , and the avenger of wrong , we ieel ourselves reluctantl y compelled to characterise our new cotemporary as impotent , and unequal to the task . An activity in every department of life distinguishes the present age from olden time ; and , as we look to the press as the safest monitor of the

      present bubbling _nund , it was not too much to expect that a volunteer , cognizant of the service into whieh lie entered , had studied the duties that would be required at his hand before he undertook to perform them . The transition of the old hack from methodised opinions to new conceptions may be progressive and slow , and the most trivial advance is hailed as progression in the right direction , while the same toleration cannot "be extended to those who become volunteers , untrammelled" by prejudice , _unfetteredbr party , and unrestrained by inclination , and therefore suVject to positive , rather than comparative , criticism ; while , even by the latter degree , the Daily News wonld stand iu sorry _contrast with many of its

      daily coiemporanes . "We longed for the advent of this hopeful ally , we panted for its coming , and the people were led to join in our _anticipations . All markets , save the one , were gluttled _. and that one was anxiously alive to tlie promised advantages from the new supply . The landlords required no more aid than wealth , repre sentation , and a fair share ofthe daily press confers upon them ! The League required no more assistance than a fair share of representation—the power of capital and astounding wealth conferred upon them , while the people , deprived of representation , stripped of power , and deficient of means , required that aid which the writings of Jerrold , the feelings

      of _JsfiBOLD , the courage and well-known principles ef Jeekcld , were pre-eminently calculated to extend . From the first appearance of the Baily News , and cognizant ofthe fact that it was the property of two speculating stationers , one of whom had contributed . £ 1 _*) 0 to the IIuosos Fund , and aware that the celebrated and Rev . Mr . Fox , of free-trade notoriety _, had licen engaged as the political editor , we felt sorrow for the halo of speculation with which Jerrold allowed his justly and hard-earned fame to be encircled ; and our only hope now is , that his genius may dispel the mist , or thatthe prodigy may come to an early but not untimely end , as a warning to future speculators in newspaper subserviency .

      After a close _perusa lof the two first numbers , we find not a hue whereon to rest hope of reclamation There hare been three long , weary , undigested , 511 concocted , unreasoning essays in each number , and all on the blessings of free and unrestricted trade , in articles on which merchants speculate ; while , to be sure , the exordium would tickle popular favour , while it leaves little hope for popular _redemptien . Before

      we present the mysterious outline of political faith to our readers , we _mnst first notice that every subse quent line upon which the writer pins his faith forbids the realisation of the promised popular blessings . The whole of the six long essays taken _together strongly resemble a lengthy Queen's Speech , leaving much to conjecture , aud little to approve . The following is the liberal outline to which we have referred ' : — .

      The Principles advocated by the Daily News WW be Principles of _Progress aud Improvement ; of Education , Civil and Religious Liberty , and Equal Legislation ; Principles , sueh as its conductors believe the ad vaucing spir it of the time requires : the condition of the country demands : and Justice , Reason , and experience legitimately sanction . Very much is to be done , aad must be done , towards the bodily comfort , mental elevation , and general contentment of the En « luh People . HUT , THEIR SOCIAL IMPHOVEMEXT IS SO _INSEPARABLE FROM THE WELL-D 0 I 5 G OF ARTS ASD _COMMERCE , THE GROWTH OF PUBLIC WORKS , THE _FitEE INVESTMENT OF CAPITAL IX ALL THOSE _NTMEROUS HELPS TO CIVILISATION ASD IMPROVEMENT TO WHICH THE INGENUITY OF THE

      AGE GIVES BIRTH , THAT WE HOLD IT TO BE IMPOSSIBLE RATIONALLY TO CONSIDER THE TRUE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE AS A CLASSQUESTION , OR TO SEPARATE THEM FROM THE INTERESTS OF THE MERCHANT AND-MANUFACTURER . THEREFORE . IT WILL P . E NO PART OF OUR FUNCTION TO WIDEN ANY BREACH THAT MAT UNHAPPILY SUBSIST , OR MAY ARISE , BETWEEN EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYED ; bur it will rather be onr effort to show their true relations , thciniutual dependence , and tlieir mutual _pawer of adding to the sum of general happiness and prosperity .

      Had so much constituted the sum and substance of even a single article , unalloyed and unmixed with ten columns of free trade poison , something might be left to hope ; but , as it is , it but inspires sorrow . In good truth , our share ofthe promised ad vantage fnm the _est _aUishmentof tkeDinlyNews , very forcibly remindus of the poor woodman ' s share of his own repast . Onceupon a time there was an ancient woodman , who married a buxom young wife ; shortly after marriage she discovered that the fatigues of housekeeping rendered it necessary to employ an assistant , and professing jealousy of " her dear old man , " she induced

      him to prefer a male to a female assistant and , _consequcntlr , a hearty young peasant was engaged for the job . * In the outset much of his time was spent in the forest with his master , but at length his closer attention to domestic affairs was thought necessary hy the mistress , and instead of coming home from his work with the woodman as usual , and doing the household work after , his mistress insisted upon his returning an hour before the woodman , to make things comfortable or liis return . After a short time

      the mode of living was improved , and great attention was paid to the young peasant ' s appetite . Meat was a thing in scanty use in the woodman ' s hut , and one evening , upon his return rom work to liis great surprise he saw a roaring fire heard a pot with an unusual bubble , and smclled the strange smell of broth . lie asked his young wife in cc _? tacy _, ** * What have you for supper , my dear ? " Whereupon the dame replied : — There is a ram ' s head in the pot , For vou old man , foryou old man :

      There ' s the meat for he . and the broth for me And the horns for thee , old man . old man . Sow . we very shrewdly suspect that our only share of this pot of free trade broth is—The horns for j oa old men _oldmenl liad the spirit ofthe articles been such as to leave the most aistant hope of reformation , we should a abstained _fromacanvas of theniinor requisites ,

      being deficient * u spirit , we cannot pardon the total absence ef sense , grammar , spelling , and even punctuation I Orthography , Etymology , Syntax , and Prosody , we had a right to expect from the gems of literature . To conclude our observations , we need only say that upon throwing d own the Baily News with disgust , and taking up the OLD BLOODY , we were strongly reminded of the old adage , "better keep the rogue you know , than tlie rogue you don't know . " Had the Daily News realised our fond anticipations , we

      should have devoted our space under this head to a general recommendation to the working classes to insist upon its being taken in at their several houses ; of resort ; but duty to our party , duty to our prin-* _ciples , duty to the press itself , and duty to ourselves , constrains us to stamp the Baily News as a mere stationer ' s speculation ; and money getting , its principle . True , _thecripple may live , because its parents t are wealthy ; but its lingering life will be one of slow torture , its death unregrettcd , and its memory unhonoured .

      ! Ireland!!!

      ! IRELAND !!!

      THE BASE , BLOODY , AND BRUTAL SPKECH . Wires , in the whole history of Ireland ' s unhappy _cosnoxion with England , has shebeen distinguished by other notice than the sanguinary threats of her imperious conqueror ; or when has any change been proposed in the policy or commercial relations of England , that attention and notoriety has not been

      directed to a state of barbarism in that country consequent upon British misrule ? For many a week hare we been directing attention to the blood-note of the rimes . "We drew attention to the appeal of some fifty magistrates from Tipperary tothe English people , _embodying their own condemnation , and we felt convinced that those who traffic on Irish credulity would allow the catalogue of complaint to swell until it was of sufficient amount to demand Roval notice . The

      noble lord who moved the address in the Commons , and who received his political education , and consoquentlj his prejudices , as Secretary for Ireland , found it necessary to devote columns to a justification ° f his own inconsistency , while the Royal threat against Ireland was despatched with a passing comment . What , we wonld ask , will the Liberator say to the proposed Coercion Bill ? "Will he now come to England with his slavish followers to aid the Minister in his commercial policy , and reserve his phmy opposition to destroy the strength he shall have created ; or will he , by withholding the power at his command , shatter the Government _thtt threatens another invasion of his country ? No , he will profess to regret the justification that has led to the

      necessity , and will attempt to saddle the consequence upon Patrick O'Higgins ! He will tell his dupes thathe required tranquillity as the price of Repeal , and that all the responsibility of failure rests upon the heads of those who have broken it . But will the nation permit him to sever _hini'elf from the wild cry of revenge , which bis own treachery has created through disappointment ; or will it not rather demand some poor service for the countless thousands he has extracted from the pauper ' s scanty means ? Strong in the confluence of inconsistency , upon which the British Minister relies to aid liim in his commercial policy , we yet trust that there is a strength in 1 Ireland strong enough , and willing to resist the further tyranny of England .

      The Times asserts that the condition , habits , manners , and customs of tbe Irish people disentitle them to the blessings of English law , and speculates upon what the difference between the early and more recent conquest of the country might have been . This is a problem which cannot lie solved , for , had not Ireland been conquered some centuries ago by the division of her people , and the treachery of Britain , English tyranny , that has become a by-word to the world , would have served as a rallying point to preclude the possibility of conquering her now . If Ireland had not been juggled by Britain , and deceived by her representatives , all the powers of England

      could not have subdued her , even in her then defenceless state ; while now , but for the possession of despotic power , she could not hold her sway . However the Queen may truckle to her brother of France , and hope still for an amicable solution of American difficulties , yet we incline to think that the French people , one in religion , and the American people , one in blood , with the Irish , will not look tamely upon another extermination hill ; while the English people , already sufficiently reprobating the unconstitutional embodiment of the militia , will now hold It in increased detestation , as it may be naturally presumed that its destination is unhappy Ireland .

      Oh ! what an opportunity now presents itself to the Liberator of forming a combination more holy and protective than a Protestant alliance , whose share in the partnership should be the largest half of the plunder , if he would speak such language as this to the Irish members : — " Gentlemen , we have common interests anda common country . We are divided upon the question of Repeal , but let us meet half way ; let us each sink comparatively minor interests . Do _yeu join me in defending Ireland against

      the threatened scourge of military law , and I will join V 3 U in defending your estates against the exterminating commercial policy of the English Minister , and , united , we must be _successful . " But , after all , is this new threat against the starving Irish peasantry a consequence of murders that have been committed , or a precaution against those whicli would otherwise follow a repeal of the Corn Laws , and the consequent annihilation of her only trade—agriculture ?

      Lord Fraxcis _Egeutox in movin the address , said— " I consider the earth as a machine ; and I look upon the largest landowners in the country as nothing else than manufacturers . " He should have said that he looked npon the earth as a raw material , upon the instruments that cultivated it as machines , the slaves who used them as operatives , and the tyrants that owned it as manufacturers . However , be the land a machine , or be it a raw material , the noble English lord requires no nice distinction when the consideration is merely Ireland's undoing ; but yet we venture to suggest the imprudence of dc-: stroying at one swoop the only interest upon which j _Iris-h loyalty hangs . When one ofthe many classes of I English speculators is to be sacrificed to a more noisv

      and powerful interest , a modicum o compensation is offered to the victims . I ! ut not so with Ireland ; she has been racked , torn to pieces , to furnish a gorge for the oppressor . There is only one remaining in tercst ; and there is no weak , but wealthy foe , on whom the dissatisfied can be quartered . To be sure , when the landlords howled _against the Tithes' Commutation Bill to pay salvation-money for their Protestant souls , whicli was previous eked out of Catholic sweat , the noisy squires were upon their own church , made unpopular for tlieir own services . But _ihat , we believe has gone its utmost limit . Ireland ' s taxes and Irish duf iesare measured by Irish poverty , aud not by English clemency ; the Chancellor of her Exchequer well knowing that the smalles tax would lead to a prohibition of the taxed article .

      What interest , then , can be sacrificed to compensate for the loss of Ireland ' s only trade ? English blood , and English treasure ; England ' s militia , and _England's sweat , to be sure . The how of Jacobinism was the rallying cry before , and why should we not have the howl of Free Trade and No Popery now ? The . "Minister has , in truth , sent a message of peace to Ireland now—Free Trade and the bullet ! They have asked for bread , and lie has given them a stone ; he commiserates the Irish paupers upon the loss of their

      only food , and in the true spirit of political economy , as he c-anno icreate food to meet population , he proposr to reduce population to the limit of subsistence . Peel has yet to learn that there is a party in Ireland , who , under the sanction of coercion , throw off the trammels of ordina . . : Jaw , and set themselves above the law and the constitution . Each village has its tyrant , each district litis its despot , and every county has its legalised staff of freebooters . It is this organised faction that has driven _, a mild , a humane , and amiable Minister . ( for

      ! Ireland!!!

      Pma is not a cruel man ) , to the sad necessity of courting Irish free trade _co-operatioa as a condition of Orange ascendancy . So much for emancipation ; so much for Reform ; so much for the gigantic scheme of godless education ; so much for the paltry pittance , ostentatiorsly offered as a bribe to Maynooth ; so much for justice to Ireland ; so much for England ' s paternal care and protection ! After seven centuries of oppression , Ireland , as a consequmce of

      the increased _civtltsation of ti ; age , has degenerated into . barbarism under England ' s civilised rule ; and while peace is the world ' s boast , Irehnd , unhappy Ireland , once more becomes the battle-ground of faction . Oh ! ye tyrant _t ulers , ye worse than tyrant deluders , and still worse subservient prostitutes of the press , when will the brave Irish people see your " mockery , " "delusion , " and "snare , " and do for themselves what in vain they have looked to you to accomplish ?

      Alas ! poor country ! Almost a _' _-aid to know itself .

      FROST , WILLIAMS , AND JONES . We have great pleasure in publishing the following communications from the members for Bolton , which we take from the Bolton Free Press , and of thanking those gentlemen for their prom ' sed co-operation ; whileperhap 3 itmaybe gratifying to the people to know that a powerful piece of machinery is ready to undertake the glorious work of bringing the question in a forcible manner to the notice of the Prime Minister—in such a manner as leaves but little doubt

      upon our mind of its success ; meantime every hand should be at work to furnish oil for the good working of our machinery . We are not at liberty to divulge its nature , nor would our readers require it if doing so was calculated to put a single pivot out of order . Perhaps , next week , we may have something to say upon the subject .

      [ From the Bolton Free Press . ] In our last number we stated that a meeting had been held in this town for the purpose of petitioning the Ilouse of Commons for the release of Messrs . Frost , YfiHtams , and Jones . Up to last evening there had been , we understand , about 7 , 000 signatures obtained . Mr . Ainsworth , M . P ., having been requested to present , and Dr . Bowring , M . P ., to support the petition , the following communications from tltem have been received by the chairman ofthe meeting : — Snithills Hall , Jan . 15 th , 1816 . Sir , —I shall be happy to comply with your wish to present the petition to Parliament forthe liberation of Frost , Williams , and Jones . I will thank you to forward it on the 22 nd , tome , addressed 14 , Somerset-street , London .

      I beg to remain , Sir , most respectfully yours , P . AlNSWORTH . _ Ir . W . Pickvance , chairman , IS , _Duncan-street , Polton . London , Jan . 13 th , 1 S 46 . Dear Sir , —I have to-day received your letter of the 10 th _Jamuiiry , requesting I will support a petition iu favour of extending the Queen's forgiveness to Frost , Williams , and Jones . You do not say to whom _you have confided the petition , and are perhaps not aware that no member can speak on a petition except the person who presents it . I should be very happy , however , to co-operate in any measure for commuting the sentences of those who have suffered so much , and who probably erred more iu ignorance than tril design . Yours very truly , John _Bowbing . Mr . Wm . Pickvance , Bolton .

      National _Asti-Militia Association . —The Trades and Chartists of the several districts of London are requested to send delegates to the Parthenium , 82 , St . Martin ' s-lane , at half-past eight o ' clock precisely on Wednesday evening next , to form a National Anti-Militia Association , the objects of which will be t < i protect the working classes from being coerced by porerty to serve in this unconstitutional fores , and to spare theni the horrid infliction of being sent to Ireland to tight against a nation struggling for her liberties . — _FfARvus O'Cossob , secretary .

O'Connor ' s attendance at the Greenwich supper on Monday night , the entertainment will

      commence at seven o ' clock precisely , and not at eight , ns originally announced . Mr . O'Connor will attend . " State of _Pauties . "—Sir , —The article on "the state of parties in England , " wliich you recently transferred to the columns of the _Norllicrii Star , is calculated to give rise to serious thoughts . None except the wi ) . fully blind can look through the public prints , or observe for themselves the condition of their country , without arriving at the conclusion that the Charter must ultimately triumph . The Tories endeavour , as long as they can , to conserve everything obnoxious that our ancestors have left us , or that they have forced on us by means of aristocratic tyranny and corruption ; but truth , sacred truth , will unmask their efforts , and will scatter them , as the Whigs are scattered , to the four winds of Heaven . Yes ! the Whigs , asapartv , are dead—your journal has recorded the

      fact , and that fact will go down to posterity . Some members of that once powerful party may prate their nonsense—may endeavour to look big in their littleness , like the frog in the fable ; but no effort of theirs can frustratu the progress of Chartism . I look upon such men as lluucombe and Feargus O'Connor as the future ( and that future is not far distant ) regenerators of the age ; they are regenerators who will alike humble the proud aristocrat and the . selfish cotton lord , and teach them the great principle , that they must accord to their now suffering fellow men " a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work . " It is the Charter that can alone establish the happiness of the nation . No efforts of man can prevent the triumph of Chartist principles , and the mighty of the land , tha aristocrat , and the money _, jobber ( hi tlie words of Byron ) " hear a little bird that sings

      The people , hy and by , will be the stronger . " This conviction , this honest conviction , has been forced on me by reading your intelligent journal . It is the mirror of the times , and will be looked at as such _1-y the future historian . It is the organ of the people , the true expounder of the principles of democracy . Pardon me , if the importance of the subject has made me trespass upon your attention . I feel that my voice is weak , but we .-. k as it is , I would raise it in the holycause of popular freedom . With every wish for your success , I remain , your obedient servant , An _Ouskkvea or the Times . The last Hard of Hbeffni . —The song shall appear in a week or two's lime . J .

      A Young Woman, Ot Respectable Appearance...

      A young woman , ot respectable appearance , named Anne Maria Richardson , was placed at tlie bar of tbe Greenwich police court , this day , charged by police-sergeant Wilson , with concealing the birth of a male child , of which she had been recently delivered , tlie body of which was found in a garden attached to her father ' s former residence , on Royal Ilill , Greenwich , on Thursday afternoon . The case excited an unusual degree of interest from tho iiietof the father of the prisoner having , up to within a short period , held the lucrative situation of fourth assistant at tbe ltoval Observatory .

      Police-sergeant Wilson , 39 R , deposed that ho took the prisoner into custody last night , in consequence of iuformation he received , and in reply to questions , she voluntarily stated that she had been delivered ofa child in September last , at a house in Weston-plaee , St . Thoiiias ' s-street , Borough . She was attended by Mr . Wood , a medical gentleman , of Union-street , and that the child died ten days after its birth . She had no certificate of tlie birth , but she believed her father had . Her father was not in

      town . She said her own father was the father of her child . When the child died her lather took it away in a coffin , and buried it in the garden attached to his house , the hole being dug by a labourer who worked on the premises . Charles Pearce , a labourer , in the employ of Mr . Iliscock , who was doing some repairs for the present proprietor of the property , deposed to having searched a cesspool in the garden , by order of his master , and finding a coliin containing the body of a male child .

      Mr . John Iliscock stated that the property on Royal Hill had recently been purchased by Mr Worth , a butcher , of the prisoner ' s father , lie directed the former _witneas to search the cesspool , and was told by him of the discovery he had made , lie desired the man to cover up the body again , and gave information to the parish officers , who had it removed , in order that an inquest might be held upon it . Mr . Oak Mitchell , a medical gentlennn , stated that lie had , in compliance with instructions he received , made a post mortem examination of tho body , which was much decomposed , but was not so far gono as to prevent an examination being made . He saw sufficient to convince him that thecliild had not only been born alive but that it had lived some _dayj . He was now _( _Agaged in making an analysis of the stomach .

      The prisoner , who appeared to bear up with great fortitude , was remanded for a week , and a warrant issued for the apprehension of the father .

      Monday. Ire_ Trude.--It Would Appear Fro...

      MONDAY . iRE _ TruDE _.--It would appear from the _Thunderer of this mourn" , that , after all , the thunder of free trade is to _dwinolo into a League Peal , and that we are only to have one little rumble . The mice merely mean a nibble at the _cheeso for themselves , and the keystone of the arch of protection is not to be struck . Some time since , we commented upon the altered state -of compositors , printers , bookbinders , and thoseconnected with tbat trade , as well as upon the prospects of shoemakers , glovemakers , and all those whose labour is as yet protected , and _mTnS ? ¥ _lKr _^^ . S ° fees U P ° their NATIONAL _l'Airil , in the event of all protection being taken away ; and the Times , and other journals who gather knowledge Irom us upon this , to them , new subject , now find it necessary to hoist tho fla _^ of distinction , and merely look for free trade in corn " and such _nntcriiils will

      raw as produce . nativity in the labour market . We tell them , however , as we have told them scores of times before , that _UNADJUSTED free trade in corn , must eventually lead to destructive free trade in unprotected labour , and the Minister is perfectly right in framing all liis measures for the regulation ol trade , in the short period allowed him between the present time and that of the maturity of his tariff of 1812 ; as again we repeat , not our prediction , but our conviction , that with 181 C will be developed the full length and breadth ot that statesmanlike measure . We anticipate that the Thunderer has had a friendly hint of tlie little to be _proposed in the way of free trade during the approaching session of Parliament , and is , consequently , getting alarmed as the day arrives for opening the oracle from Delphos . And oh , if tlie great prophet should turn out to be no prophet at all , what a blot in tlie escutcheon !

      Tub Corn . _Iiiade . —From every market town in tho kingdom , we learn that the shadow of free trade is causing prices to recede , as children make their escape from a hobgoblin . In some instances prices have receded a shilling a quarter—in some 2 s . ; while the millers are still refusing to keep up stocks beyond a mere temporary supply . Now , should Sir Robert Peel not be able to keep up the dignity of the ghost , and should the fear ofthe farmers and millers vanish at one and tlie same time , the ghost of free trade will be metamorphosed into the hobgoblin of famine , as

      confidence will be restored , and prices rise Jike magic ; and thus a new phantom of scarcity will once more stalk through the land . Perhaps the greatest horror of unnatural protection and impolitic legislation is the facility which they afford statesmen and scribblers of operating upon the fears and properties of others . We wish , from our souls , that this monster was crushed one way or other , whatever may be the embodiment in which we should have to fight the change . One thing is quite certain , that what will now satisfy millers and farmers will not satisfy those who are too dependent upon both for the very means

      ot existence . Thk Money Market . —Notwithstanding the half monthly settlement has gone off quietly , and that all the robbers have fully maintained their characters , yet , somehow or other , things go down . The funds are worse , the shares are vVorse , confidence is _woive , and everything looks worse , and all this mainly , if not entirely , attributable to the power that other countries have to mould our destinies to their w ill . The Texans prefer the _prott ; tion of Republican America to the tender mercies of monarchical

      salvation . We have not enough of land at home , and look for * the wildernesses of other nations , and straightway the people , who can't get enough of food from anywhere , are to become _soldiei-s to fight for the minority of Texas , and for a wilderness , that tyrants may have free navigation to reap spoil and free scope to impose taxes . When will the policy be admitted that to be great abroad we must be great at home ? When English blood and English comforts cease to be matter of speculation with a set of Jew jobbing rascals , who would rather make £ 5 per cent _, upon the swallowing up of a nation than -i _£ per cent _, upon a gold mine or most advantageous railroad .

      TnE PnoTECTiosisrs and the Prime Minister . — By St . Paul , the work of abuse goes bravely on ! The free-tongued agriculturists , unfettered by the laws of sedition , and not prescribed by the rules of decency , call the Queen ' s Prime Minister by very hard names , that of traitor being the one in most common use . At the East Suffolk meeting one Lord Rendlesham , after having mapped the outlines of tho future policy ofthe agriculturists , and after having enforced the impossibility of paying a national debt of £ 800 , 000 , 000 without protection , announces the future operations of his party in tlie following terms : — "Let us cordially unite , and by a memorial to her Majesty , anil by petitions to both Houses of Parliament , express our determination to resist , by every

      CONSTITUTIONAL MEANS in our power , any further concession to the DEMOCRATIC FEELING wliich is fearfully increasing in this country . Let us not look to others , bnt taking care that we be not again deceived , DEPEND UPON OURSELVES . " Now , every child in England understands the meaning of constitutional means coming from such lips ; in its mildest application it means coercion of the Queen ' s Minister—in its most oxtensive application it _nmans WAR TO TIIE KNIFE ; but the poor lerd will join to resist democratic principles . God help liis r . oblc folly ; but then he has taken a leaf from our Look , for he tells his party to DEPEND UPON THEMSELVES . Again , Sir Charles Burrell , member for Horsham , commenting upon the effects of free trade , very truly says— " lie had expended upwards of ' £ 2 * 000 in drainage within a very few years ; but if protection were taken away , and corn reduced to one half its present value , how could the farmer be

      expected to persevere in improvements which would then cease to yield an adequate return ? " And again — "Then , if all protection was removed , taxes could not be raised , the national debt could not be paid , and the country would no longer have that character for integrity which had led many of the French Generals , during the late war , to place their money in the British funds , a practice whieh there was reason to believe had been adopted by the head of the empire himself , in order to have a refuge for the destitute . " Well , to be sure , how the cat does come out of the bag when her claws begin to tickle the'Squires in thair own bit of NATION * L FAITH . After all , we are the real prophets , for the readers of the Star have that paper to refer to , in which wc told them , in April , 1842 , that the Corn Laws being once repealed , the landlords would begin to ask all about the NATIONAL DEBT , all about tho TITHES , all about TAXATION , and what all them there things were about , and that they would then sty , why , THOSE

      CHARTISTS WERE RIGHT AFTER ALL ! IRELAND . _Trasqui-litv of lRELA . vn .-A _ t foit wc give the course resorted to by Mrs . Magiiire and her children for the encouragement of Irish agriculture , and from the report it will be seen that the Irish people no longer rely upon the specifics of O'Connell , or the wag of his " tail" for the liberation of Ireland , while the Irish people will now discover the value of the mitigated Coercion Bill supported by the Liberator . If ever there was a deliberate act of treason , it was that of strengthening the hands of the Irish

      Executive with such a base , bloody , and brutal measure ; and every Irishman who is hung , shot , or transported under its * provisions will be a victim to _O'Connelljustice to ' lreland . The White Boys , of 1 S 23 , forced the Tithe Commutation Bill from the Tories , and perhaps the Maguires , of 1840 , may force a Land C ' _OMyuiiTiON Bill from the same parties . Mr . Duffy hastoiu ns that no liberty is to be achieved for Ireland except by seditious libels ; wc tell him thcro is more to be achieved by the outpourings of that turbulence created by the ' subserviency and denounced by the fears of the Irish press .

      MOCtAMATlONS UNPEB TIIE COERCION ACT . It is announced this morning that , at the urgent and unanimous request of the local magistracy of the county of Limerick , a large body of military has been ordered forthwith to that district , and that the Coercion Act is to be proclaimed in several of the disturbed barouics . The latter part of this statement sounds imposing enough , an _4 might lead to the belief that tho suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act , tho enactment of iuarti . il law , or some such stringent measure , was contemplated . A proclamation under the Coercion Act , however , is a very simple and

      withal inoffensive procedure , it being nothing more than the enforcement of the Act ll William IV ., by which it is competent " for tlio Lord Lieutenant , or other chief governor or _govsrnors of Ireland , by the advice of the Privy Council iu Ireland , tc declare by proclamation , that any county , county of a city , or county of a town in Ireland , or any barony or baronies , half barony or half baronies in nay county at large , or any district _otlcss _extent than any barony or half barony to be therein specified , is or arc in a state of disturbance , and requires or require an additioaial cstaliSshms-ut of _oliee "

      Thw was the _courau-tnlconl _ast July when the state of Lcitriai rendered tlie stop necessary towards restoring tranquillity in that count v Whether that object was attained by the _ej-jiei-imen twill be easily learned by a pertisa oi the last _tiile'liuciicc from that quarter _, as reported in . the jf ' Miiffs of Thursday , from which it will be seen tha * ,. in a conduit between tho "Molly Maguires " nnd the police , th * latter were compelled " to retire , " leaving cue of their body with a broken jaw and eight of his teeth _Uaoclted out . This circumstance cotipli d with the fact of another regiment of _inl ' _-tntr _jheiiijr required for service in _Li-itrim , docs not speak much for the "Coercion Act of 0 William IV . The first division ( two companies ) of the _GTth _llegiment left the Royal barracks this morning for Limerick , instead of Jlohill , their previous destination . The relnaiiidur of the _ri'jjhueiit follows on Monday _audTuesday ,

      The " Wom . li" and thk " rNoimmix _Staii . "Our UNIVERSAL FRIEND has vouchsafed a _parsing comment upon our strictures upon the Irish press , and characteristically enough would monopolize its share of the compliment ; we shall only reply in tho words of the old adage When caps amongst a crowd are thrown—Our friend can supply the other line : but , _forplain-LUJ-Bake . we be to state that we wade no exception

      Monday. Ire_ Trude.--It Would Appear Fro...

      whatever . The " World" dignifiea tbe _GlttlAT _TtE of our monster thus : — _Extbemely _Flatteuino Mr . Feargus O'Connor , iu a fit of virtuous indignation at the Irish Press for not backing Mr . O'Higgins , thus _apsstrophises our contemporaries , and very likely ourselves : — " Are you not hirelings ? Poor priceless slaves , with measured conscience , bated breath , and fettered hand ? You profess to loose tho chafe that hinds your country , while you tighten every rivet and forge—such bondage as freemen blush at . You hnvo hoped , by your silence , to procure the downfall of thu man whose bravery you should have honoured , in whose intellect you should havo taken pride , in whoso veins ran the pure stream o £ liberty , and whose triumph will but mark your impotence . " What a pity itis that the Liberator did nut accept the " One Pound Note" ofthe ex-Member for Cork , when the

      latter would have beeu certain to visit Burgh-Quay ; and , as the Northern Star woe ' . d have followed in his train , then , indeed , m . 'g lit Ireland have boasted of possessing one journal with extraordinary pretensions to honesty and independence . Why didn't it give our article at full _length and allow readers to judge whether , under the circumstances of tho case , we were severe or mild . As to Mr . O'Connor ' s probable exhibition at Conciliation llall had his ono pound been snafHed , we can only say that the Liberator would give all the Repeal rent in

      his coffers rather than hear one blast from his trumpet within tiie walls of Conciliation llall . The building would tremble like the walls of Jericho , and smother jugglery under its ruins . Quere . Whv hasn ' t Mr . O'Connor got back his guinea that he " paid for his maskct as an Irish volunteer ? We shall be most happy , whenever circumstances warrant , to make an exemption in the case of the World . A man with one eye u king amongst the blind , and if there is a distinction without a difference our contemporary is welcome to the shade .

      Thk Irish Phess and the Nation . —The Liberal press of Ireland is in hydrostatics , aa Mrs . Ma aprop would say , at the bare notion of the Saxon Government prosecuting Mr . Duffy , and more than angry at the notion of Sir Robert " peel allowing the Herald aud the Standard to insult the Irish people . If those gentlemen had felt as indignant when the press of England and the Liberator hounded tlie Government on to _vrosecute , and persecute , at . d hunt down the English Chartists , perhaps we , too , might have bad a fellow feeling . For a season they conquered , but we survived ' our _xiotio—was "Subdued , but not conquered . " They thought that they had conquered , and , in the words of tlieir chief , we say , _"A'co victis !"—Woe to the coniiueror . Why did ' nt they defend O'Higgins by publishing his sedition , especially when Mr . Duffy tells us , that no liberty is ever achieved except by the publication ot SEDITIOUS LIBEL .

      _Rbpuksentation or Dublin . —Notwithstanding the great efforts of the Repeal party , it would appear that Mr . Hamilton , one of the members for the Protestant College , has a strong impression of being able to seat two Conservatives at the next election ; and , in __ good truth , if the next does not give us better Irishmen than Repealers have hitherto proved themselves' to be , put two Conservatives and two Repealers Iu a sack and shake ' cm , And which comes first you may take ' . m .

      FOREIGN . America . —Notwithstanding the subserviency of the English press , and the great interest that many of its conductors have in keeping up prices , and the advantage of confidence to a Prime Minister , THE SPEC IN THE WEST is still lowering over everything and overshadowing men ' s minds . Gigantic efforts are being marie to arouse _English patriotism in favour of English institutions anil against republican principles . The spirit of France that was the first to acknowledge the independence of Texas , is urged as a reason for English sympathy , when Texas considers her true independence to consist in reuublican institutions : and that long cherished antipathy , and , till now , growing hostility towards France , is

      sought to be merged into national sympathy . Like the contests of political _pai j ' es when their privileges ave assailed ,. so with the English press and France . Now all minor differences arc to be surrendered until the proud spirit of _demesracy is humbled , and THEN they'll figiit their own party battles over ayain . Prussia will , doubtless , do all that in HER power lies to uphold the despotism of irresponsible rulers , and we should not be at all astonished to rind the sponsor of the Queen ' s first-born tendering a loan ot his troops as _subslitufces for the French soldiers sent to America . Again we have to remind our readers that three years ago we prophecird the incorporation of this league ef kings to overthrow the league ot people ; but God grant that they mav fail in their TREASONABLE attempt .

      TUESDAY . FrtEE Tiude . —As the time for the conviction ot the Times newspaper arrives , the Thunderer is not satisfied with one loaf of daily bread , but actually gives us two long articles directly treating of the question of free trade , as well as a " nibble in everything * into which the exhausted subject can be lugged . The Duhc of Richmond is a base man for not correcting the acknowledged abuses of the Poor Law Amendment Act , which he has admitted for ten years , while he strangled the qui tam actions against his brother gamblers at railway speed . We have not time this week , but , with God ' s blessing , next week we'll furnish our cotemporary with a summary , not of the mere savings , hut of " the actual doings of his

      tender-hearted clients , the mill-lords . It would be much better for the belligerent parties to light the question of free trade upon its naked merits , because the Times may rest assured that all the money in tlie League ' s coffers , nor yet in the Treasury , would nor , upon comparison with the landlords , save them from the majority of the dirt . The fact is this , the laws of the landlords are had and grievous , but the accomplishment of free trade would not repeal any one act obnoxious to liberty , while the cruel deeds ot " capitalists in their hourly conflicts with labour evince a spirit of brutality beyond law . The oppression of

      the landlords is a heavy scourge , intended to lall equally upon all—the oppression ofthe League is tiie sharp and active spur of cupidity , never for a moment out of the sides of labour . To correct any single law upon which landlord abuse is based , not a single free-trader will lend the oppressed a particle of cooperation , or even sympathy . What we dread , and what we ever shall dread , will he the transference of punishment from the whip of the slugglish farmer to the whip and spur of the active capitalist . Bright and Cobden have now declared that their object is to rescue power from the hands of the landlords , whiie we declare that we would rather see one revolution

      in England than the continuous reign ot slow torture , that would inevitably flow from the political ; ascendancy of the free traders . The silent , but active , never ceasing enemy , _MAcniXEnr , is kept studiously out of sight in this ill-argued controversy ; but machinery is the enemy , after all , that industry will have to contend with . A Long Day , mv Loan . —The only boon that Irish victims sought from their murdering judges alter sentence of death , was as long a period as possible to make up their last account-, and this appeal was always made thus . "A LONG DAY , MY LORD . " Now ,

      what would the Times give for . all the opportunities and chances that a dissolution ' would afford , of A LONG DAY . A "drowning man will catch at a straw , " and hence wc find the Thunderer compelled to rely upon the guess of the Liverpool Albion _^ whieh ventures ar . opinion based upon the information of an omnibus cad , relative to Sir Robert Peel ' s _ICi-ceTi-adepolicy . _Tliis is Tuesday , and we havo only two days ' grace , and we venture to prophecy that l _' oeli will as . ; much think of proposing the People ' s Charter as Free 1 Trade . Ho dare not do it . It would be as- much aa 1 his head n-oii / d be worth to propose it .

      Tiie Protkctionists . —Those _worihy gentlemen still continue their lip worship of the 110 NHST
