Let this W dose , and if tfee ConservatiTe leaders still find themselves called on to reassnme the government of tie coaHby , we will then admit that Eraser has spot en ia the spirit of prop beey . Bnt the term " people" in Fraser ' s dictionary , of course , means only " " the thousands and tens of-tbousands" banded togttier in Conservative Associations . " "We suppose ^ wr excellence the « Qpe « r f «* Conservative Associations , " and , as

      Lite rs Loxdox . —I had been about twelve months upon town , " and had the felicirv of owin <* drrers sums to ^ tailor ? , bootmakers , hatter ^ < fcc . j and when I knew not where to torn for cash , 1 was agreeably surprised by X— and the Impulsive propoang a scheme to pay all my debts without co&tmg me a farthing . The scheme was this : X- had bills of exchange for all sums and at all dates , I was to indorse these to my several creditors , and take the difference ; for instance , sav I owed Hobby £ 89 , -I took him a bill with onl y a few weeks to run for £ 150 , drawn b y JackXokes upon the Honorable Mr . - " ; Hobby shook bis liead at the -acceptors name , but was satisfied ( knowing mv

      family ) with the indorsement ; I received £ 7 v , which . I hssded over to X . This being done in eight or ten different places , I imagined myself but of debt , and naving obtained , a supply of monev . went on as heedlessly as ever . There is one peculiarity about all Mils of exchange— "ther" become due ; so ii ^ ras with mine . ^ oVone of the many acceptances i liad endorsed to my creditors were honored ; all came upon me . One sunshiny morning the Impulsive entered my bed-room ; "The game-sup , eld Tar , " said he " you must toddle . " The English , of which was , I must get out of the wav to avoid arrest . I did so ; dodged into Surrev . Sussex , Kent , < fcc Again the subject of wedlock" was renewed , fant this i firmly negativedand within

The parties had ' mv acceptances on trhich third , fourth , and fifth holders were to prove , aad then agn my certificate , they , in numbers and amount swamping my real * creditors .

      babies . I resolved to perish rather than again apply to my femily : and was then chummed with Lieut . H =-: he "tad " sold his half pay , and T > ecame like myself p ennyless . It was the morning of the third day which we had passed without food , the only luxuries we had indulged in being one pot of porter , for which he obtained credit at the tap , and a pipe which we smoked by turns . Possibly , reader , you have never felt hunger—I have to excess . It is when tie craving has passed away , and sickness , and inertness succeed , that it becomes dangerous . Tts effects on my frame was to render me utterly indifferent to life ; I had not energy sufficient to write a " note , for there were yet those who would have lent mea trifle ; I felt as if I could willingly sleep into nothingness . The action on the lieutenant was very different ; on the third morning he broke into frightful denunciations against Providence and the

      world ; he recounted all his perils in the Peninsula , his wants , his dangers , and then , with a passionate flood-of tears , almost screamed out , " And here , here ' s Jach H— perishing in gaol for . very hunger .

I deemed it a fit of madness , but lacked energy even to loot from the window what direction he was going . He returned in about ten minutes loaded with food—he had roshed to the Marshal ' s house , " and in the frantic energy of want told our situation ; Mr . Jones had presented him a sovereign . A day or two after this , I received an anonymous letter inclosing ten pounds ; who my unknown friend was I vainly endeavoured to guess , but assuredly had that timely succour not arrived , this scene would have closed the adventures of A MAN ABOUT TOWN .

A better idea of the effect of all this upon a stranger cannot ^ conveyed than by the flowing anecdote of an officer who visited Xew South Wales on leave of absence from his regiment in India . —Having gone with a friend , in a gig , from Sydney to the races at Paramatta , they were passed -on the road by many genteel equipages , including dose

      carriagescur-, ricles , and landaus . In answer to the strangers questions , his companion informed him that one Tmlliant ' set-out belonged to Sam Sucb-a-one , who had been a convict , but was now a free man , and a man of fortune ; that another was the property of a conTict , who kept a draper ' s shop in Sydney , but was assigned to . his wife , who had brought out with him . a large sum of money ; that a third belonged to a ticket-of-leave-man , who had obtained that . indulgence almost immediately after his arrival in the colony—and so on . At the race-course , where " all the beauty and fashion" of felonry was assembled , the stranger ' s astonishment was complete at the number of instances in which he obtained similar

      answers . After some graver reflections on so singular an exhibition , he ironically remarked , that he thought he had better return as soon as possible to ^ India , for the purpose of there . committing some crime that -should subjectUm to a « hort sentence of "transportation , for it really seemed to him that that waS the best . way of getting on in the world . —Mudie ' s Felonry oj New South Wale * . A Mokkey of DiscaXTlo ^ . —In a country -town , no matter where , there lived th * worthiest and most philosophical of old . bachelor .

      En ^ nd can kept , I will not say comfortably , ^™ jn- actual starvation on their native seil , is it » w _ ni | h time for those meaus to be rresorted toft By taking a rerrospectire "" -new of their condition , it appears that for the last century it has been gradaally sinking , and that ere this , if public reports claam credit , thousands of our fellow-beines have sunk into ti » eir mother earth for want of the necessanes of ^ life , which / the earth has , as } -et , produced in abundance . / What , then , I would a 4 k , iasbeeh Gxe cause of this disaster ? Has the earth ' s produce been consumed by a general conflagration ; or swallowed tip by a mi g hty earthquake ? No « How then-has it happened ? But before 1 proceed , allow me to ask , have the great landed Drobriefo ™ . th »

      stoefc-jobbere , and the trading capitalists , suffered in any degree flie growing evtl of the times ? No ! How , theD , 1 ask , has it happened ? The reason is obvious . The characters last mentioned have been the law makers , and have so formed them , as to rob the rest of the community , for their exclusive and individual aggrandizement . This is the cause , and nothing else . In proof of this , if proof be wanting , let i'ns look at the numerous and expensive' wars , which they have occasioned , and ask , what was their object ? Was it for the good of the people rto preserve them from thraldom?—or was" it to preserve , in some instances , those estates in their own hands , that were stolen from the quiet and peaceable inhabitants , at the time of the conquest .

      and given to them as a reward for plundering those inhabitants ; many thousands of the rightful heirs or whom are now pining away from starvation , whilst they , the knaves , with changed names , to avoid disgrace , are wallowing in luxury ? Now was not this the real object , anu that only the pretended one as it respects the French war ? And , as it respects the war with the United States of America , what was its object ? And what is the object of the present one with Canada j but something equally base and dishonourable ; not for the gootl of the public , but against it . Who , then , ought to bear the expense of those wars ? The people ? No ! surely not ! But those very characters above mentioned have actually imposed the whole ofit upon the people , and something more .

      This may appear strange , but it is nevertheless true . You are aware , that after the conclusion of the French war , the taxes of the nation were considerably augmented . Tins , according to the rule previously and unreasonably laid down by themselves , brought upon them an additional burden ; and feeling that inconvenient and impolitic , according to their notion of policy , nnd " 'haying ' the power to alter it , they set to work in right good earnest , and carried a measure through Par-Uament , best known to the people * by the appellation of the Corn Laws , in consequence of which , they were enabled to double , and in many instances treble , and more than that , the rents of their property ; by T . -hich means , as I paid before ,

      they not only imposed the whole of tho ^ e taxes , btit something more , upon the people , turning a national calamity into an aristocratical blessing . Many other laws , equally cruel and oppressive , might be enumerated , in p ' roof of the cause of the people ' s miseries , beiug thw exclusive privilege of a fraction of the people to legislate for the whole . But eunmeration is unnecessary . Coimnou sense uiust perceive , and honesty 6 v , u , that so long as the legislative power is wholly confided in the hands of the aristocracy , — men whose prejudices . anil interests are opposed to-the ' good of " the . public , — the . miseries of . the mass will be continually magnified . Whether they be termed Whigs , Tories , or auytliing else , ii a matter of no coiitfemience .

      lhey are beasts ot prey , without humanity , and without mercy ; and , therefore , if the masses do not immediately combine ,, with spirit-and deter- ' nunation , to have their right in legislation , the result is evident . They will be ' slaves' of the most degraded order . Look at the hellish design of our rulers , after a long run of unequalled niisnile and oppression , by which a vnst proportion of the useful people of these realms , die labourers , have been reduced to a state of destitution ; and by the continuance of which , all soon will be . " They bav . i made a law called the I ^ oov Law Amendment Act , the manifest design " of ' -which appears to be the deprivation of the rest of the community of everv earthl y comfort . Bastfles are to beereck'd , hari ' ii "/

      a small yard , surronndtjd bv an high and lofty wall , over which- nothing can bs seen except the arch of heaven ; for that situation , the labouring men of England are to exchange their liberty to raii ^ e abroad , aijd view the various scenes t » f nature-and art . ITieir wives , her e , are to be- taken from them , not any more to be seen nr spoken to—their children , also , th ^ ir theme of c-jn < olation and object ci theiT tenderest feehng . « . more dear to them than even Me itself , are to be separated from both , and put into the hands of some monster , in human shape , I allow , whose feelings for the little infant will probably resemble most that of a" wolf towards a lamb—for sure I am , that i » o one possessing human ieehngs , will be tool or instrument in that cruel establishment . In this . nethermost hell , the cousolation

      of the di ^ s-nter , arising - . from th « religions ceremonieo to wkich he has been accustomed , ii to be cut off ; and last of j-11 . though perhaps not least , the inmates of ' this infernal abode are to live , or die , from a diet of loid . yer week . All this ill consequence of poverty , wliich has been forced upon them , by laws of robbery and extortion . Now , after this , I say to even-man , wilt thou be a slave or a freeman ? If a slave , as above described , say the power of legislation shall remain ¦ in ¦ the hands of the" aristocracy , but if a freeman , say I will have-my right , oriole my life ; for a life " of misery is worse than death . In conclusion , I would therefore say to :- " thu people- of'En"land Universal Suffrage , or'right ... call it which they will ' oriie . irl y universal slavery , is the - approaching condition of their country .

      TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Gextxemex , —I am one of thoee who have seen the time when all manufacturing labour was performed in the habitations of the workmen , andwhat is more , when all the carding ^ all ' the spinning , and allibe wearing , were jserformed by the human hand ; . all carding by a single pair of cards , one worked in each hand ; all spuming by th « single thready and all weaving by throwing the shuttle from the one "hand to the other . In those days each particular family went to work in the ; -, morning whenever it suited their own pleasure or convenience , and also left it at any moment they pleased . Parents had their children under their own care , ' dnring their infancy , and under their own trairiimr

      and management during their minority , and apportioned U > eir tasks according to their own discretion ; Now , sofer as the Factory System extends , both parents and children are summoned by their taskmasters to . their work at a much earlier hour in the morning than they had previously been , and are also coniined much closer through the day , and compelled to be more active and more diligent , and , after all , confined a . greater ' number of hours each day , than they have previously been , so that , m fact , the Factory people are now compelled to perform , almost , if not quite , twice as much work in the course of a year as they performed orevions

      to the introduction of that machinery of which we boast so much , . and whose power is said to be many times as great as all human power put together , and yet after all , what have we to do now , as a people , more than we had to do then ? We have now only food , raiment , and other necessaries to produce , and we had all those things to produce then : and what is the most wonderful of all , and lamentable as well as wonderful , that we have far , far more hunger , nakedness , and theft in existence now , than _ we had in the days before this machinery was introduced . Are not all these facts proof positive , that we . have totally lost all that kind of wisdom which isnecessary for the guidance and 'direction of nationaTafrairs ? - \

      If the hiterestf of the working classes had been properly represented m-Parliammt i &iinng - the last seventy years , I verily believe , that their ' - 'tasks , instead of being doubled , nnght Lave been reduced onehalf : and their necessaries and comforts have been doubted . 1 have been told that the annual produce of the Kingdom , if equally divided , would amount to 10 s . a . weefc , for every man , woman and child in the kingdom , But I should like to be informed how many families there are in our boasted township , who have not one-half of that sum : and also what they have to pay Torrent out of their present pittance , iryondeenrtieabove worthy of a place in "thersteiv please to insertit therein .
