      _ *** . * £ S «* " 600 D HOPS AND WEST P ™? * - ^^» second West India mail for the month of February has arrived , and a paper or two from the Cape of Good Hope . The Cape papers Mate that the Governor was still conferring and making treaties with the Hottentota , and that an nn preeedentedly large sale of land had taken place in the colony . Although not without interest , the ccpants from the West Indies furnish no -very salient points for remark . A scarcity of money in Jamaica seems to hare produced a very gloomy feeling , which exhibits itself in dark forebodings for t&efatore .

      TRINIDAD . —The most interesting portion of the- Trinidad papers are some speculations as to the probable course of emigration from the United States . It is supposed that the outgoing of coloured people from the union must depend very greatly on the treatment whieh they experience . Some time back , y ery stringent laws were adopted in on © or tyro of the States , and at that time the emigration of blacks was considerable . Since that time , those laws haTe been 1 ms rigorously enforced ; and the Negroes are more content to bear the accustomed ills of their condition , and to remain . But as soon as the "freest country in the world " , begins to tighten the yoke again , the blacks , it is reckoned , will * gain be driven out of its ports . Barbadoes Btill exhibits a scene of bickering between "blacks and whit

      ¦ es , for all the violani assertions of the Governor and Legislature to the contrary . Ignorance on the Krt of the Negroes , and ignorance , too , most probly , on the part of the whites , promotes the cause of bad feeling in a Yery ill-devised form of bargaining for labour : rent is made a kind of set-off against wages ; or the planter contrives , by playing fast and loose with his tenant , to make the dread of ejectment Berve the purpose of the lash in coercing a reluctant workman . Neither party can give op old habit : the Negro cannot concede his imaginary right to be provided by his employer With a noose ; the planter cannot resolve to trust solely to a plain contract of work and wages between man and man , but must haTe some little contrivance to lack his influence as the seigneur of his estate .

      The Fatheb of Edw . jju > Jo » w , " - the boy who baa three rimes intrnded into Buckingham Palace , has sent a letter to the newspapers , complaining of the treatment which the lad has receded . Mr . Jones says that his son ' s desire to intrude into the Palace is an insane idea . " He complains that the boy has been tried by a secret court , ( at the Home Office ) instead of by a Jury ; and that his health has been injured by imprisonment , over-work , and bad diet . The careless attendants at the Palace , the writer says , who so ill protect its entrances , ought to be punished rather than the boy . Mr . Jones further complains that he and his wife were harshly and disrespectfully treated when they attended at the Police Office , and when the feelings of the mother induced her to refuse her consent to her son being Bent to sea . The having been in prison , too , has prevented Edward Jon . es from procoringem ployment .

      A Fkabful Comsios took place off Cork harbour , in a dense fog , on Friday , between the barque Royal Saxon , with emigrants , bonnd for Port Philip , and the Abel Schooner , coal laden , from Swansea to Cork . The emigrant ship escaped unhurt ; the Behooner Bank , but , providentially , all the crew were saved , Maxslacghtkb . —At Derby Assizes , Henry Hoskisson was charged with shooting one- Robert Harrey , a gamekeeper of the Earl of Chesterfield . The Coroner ' s Jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against four persons , namely Hoekisson , Eames , Staler , sad Adey , but the three latter were admitted Queen ' s evidence . These persons were

      inhabitants of a large and populous place called Newall , which is in the heart of the coal district of Greasley , Swadlincote , &c , about three mile 3 from Barton , and close adjoining Bretby Park , the seat of the Earl of Chesterfiell On the night of Thursday , the 4 th of February , the four persons originally charged , were drinking the allowance of ale given them by their employers at a public-house , ind remained bo doing till about half-past ten , when thiy all went away together , one of them having been heard to say that he should like to have a hare . They proceeded to Lord Chesterfield ' s land , for the purpose of poaching , when the alleged murder took place . —Manslaughter . Sentence—Transportation lor life .

      FBOM OCa LOSDO 5 COBBESPOTOBjrT . Wednesday Evening , March 2 ilh . Thk Asti-Cobs Law League . —TMb body has advertised a meeting for the 31 st instant , at the Crown and Anchor , in the middle of the day , the admission to which is only to be hy tickets I Oh , what an impartial mode of obvainiag public opinion . But what will they say if they are beaten on their own dunghill , and with real natural spurs , while they , poor fellows , have furnished themselves with iron heela * " There are more things in Heaven and earth , than are dreamt of in Anti-Corn Lav philosophy . " Depend on it , a rich game is on the tapis .

      Deplobablb Case op Djsstitutios . —Thismorning , &s the policemen on duty in the Regent ' s Park , were passing near the Governor ' s Gate of the Zoological Gardens , they discovered a poor woman , with two children , one about two years , and the other l > ei * rean three and four years of age , in the last stage of starvation . Prompt restoratives were immediately administered , ana the children have partially recovered , but the mother is still in danger . She is the widow of a poor agricultural labourer , who , having migrated from Northamptonshire to work on the railways near London , died in January last , leaving her and the two children utterly destitute .

      Waiwoeth asd Ca « berwkll Chabteb Associates . —This Society continues to hold its weekly meetings at the Rose and Crown , Wai worth Road ; and the cause is progressing steadily in this qnarter of the Metropolitan environs . At the last meeting , on Monday evening , a resolution was pissed , approbatory of Mr . O'Connor ' s plan for a Petition Convention , and a collection was made in furtherance of that object . Petitions are -getting up in favoar of the liberation of all political victims , and a great nnmber of signatures have already been obtained . The people declare themselves determined not to relax in their efforts , until they have obtained the release of their persecuted brethren "from the fangs of their cruel tormentors ; aad , to prove their B faith " by u good works , " they hare commenced a subscription for the martyred Clayton , which is going on very satisfactorily .

      The Petition Committee . —Last evening , this Commfttee assembled at their weekly meeting rooms , the DL « patch Coffee House , Bride-lane , Fleet-street . Mr . Bails in the chair . The minutes of the last meeting having been confirmed , the secretary , ( llr . J . W . Parker J reported the result of an interview between himself and Mr . Cleave , with T . S . Duncembe , Esq . M . P ., relative to the case of Mr . Carrier , now in the Wiltshire House of Correction . A memorial to Lord Normanby , in his behalf , was adopt-ed and signed by the Committee . Seventy-four petitions were then brongnt in from various parts of the metropolis , and two irom the inhabitants of Stockport , praying for the release of Frost , Williams , and Jones ; the whole of which were ordered to be

      presented . The Secretary was directed to write to Messrs . Fielden and Wakley , requesting them to inform the Committee whether they have presented the petitions committed to their care , in order thai ( should such be the case ) more may be placed in their hands for presentation . The Committee , up to the present time , ( during the short space of tiire £ weeks . ) nave got upwards of 200 petitions for" the Charter , Fros :, Williams , and Jones , Peddie , OConnor , and the rest of the political victims . The Committee have been materially assisted in their labours -by the willingness of Messrs . Hume and Duncombe to pre- ^ ent their petitions . In the course of the e > en ' ing , Mr . Parker read the following bjghly-interest ' ing letter from the victim Carrier : —

      doing in future -what I may believe to be right , I would endure all my imprisonment ; with all its serere hardships , over and oret again . But to show that thla declaration does not proceed from stubbornness or temerity , I am ready most freely to make any acknowledgment whieh tbe case may require , wherever I may have committed an error : my conduct has hitherto been marked with openness and candour , and I shall endeavour to maintain it , . cost what it may .

      " The particulars of my ease which you ask for , are : — First , I am in prison , and I wish to get out . Secondly , my food consists of bread , potatoes , and water-gruel , which is not sufficiently nutritious ' to preserve the constitution In a healthy state for the Epsoe ot two years , especially in a ' prison where all is gloom , and dull monotony , and solitude , unchecked by social intercourse ; which act most powerfully upon Ure body by depressing the spirits and enervating the mind . It is sufficiently obvious , therefore , that I want better food . I also wish to be allowed pens . Ink , add paper , asd newspapers ; and that my correspondence be unrestricted , that I may have it in my power to repel the attacks that I have been informed have been made upon me , with the view of preventing my friends from interesting themselves in my ben&lf .

      " I ought , perhaps , to tell you , that I addressed memorial to Lord Normanby , on the 27 th of January , in which I requested the above indulgences , and also that my friends be allowed to visit me in my cell at all seasonable hours , with some others , \ rhieh I do not at present remember . First of all , however , I asked for the sununum bonum , liberty ; but it appears that all the Noble Marquis could feel himself justified in advising her Majesty to grant was , the remission of that part of my sentence which subjected me to hard labour j and this was carried into effect on the J 3 th of February . " You will excuse the length of this , I hope ; it is so seldom I write ( or , I should add , speak , for I am on the silent system too , ) that I scarcely know when to leave off

      " Yon -will be good enough to send the money here to me ; I would advise you- to send it by post-office order , for one letter // wn me has been lost , and how many to me I cannot know .

" Since the receipt of th » afcove , the City of London Charter Association have sent Mr . Carrier 15 s ., and Mr .

      THE POOR , LAW . IRISH SYMPATHY FOR THE ENGLISH

      POOR . All comment upon the sordid meanness and crouching rascality of the Irish joints of the Treasury tail is rendered unnecessary by the undeviating practice of these " pot-walloppers "—these cupboard 11 patriots . " ' We give , however , the names of the following nineteen , who voted for the full measure of atrocity proposed by Monkey Russell : —Blake , Bodkiw ,

      BaABiZOH ( Lord ) , Callaghak , Evans , Gisbobnb ( one of the Anglo-Irish patriots , M . P . for the County of Carlow ) , How am ( another Anglo-Irish patriot ) , Hume ( the old " brown loaf , " and one of the boys of Kilkenny ) , " Mabtin , Nobbets , Sir J . D . O'Bbien ( not Bronteb . be ) , O'Connell , Sir J . Pigott ( Attorney-General ) , Rochb , Shkil ( the Right Honourable R . L . ) , Somkbvillb ( Sir W . ) f StocHs ( Mr . Sergeant ) , Wtsk , and Ashton Yates , ( coadjutor of Tom Gisbob > s for County of Carlow ) .

      Now , don ' t the English people owe the patriots a a signal debt of gratitude 1 And of the fifty-one dissentients , sot one single Irishman of any shade or colour of politics or religion . We also find H . G . Wabd , and E . Pbothebob , and C . Wood ( our Halifax M . P . S ) , in the list of starvebeggars . Will the men of Halifax allow them to entsr into the town—aye , even into the town—again to intuit the people ! If they do , we hope they'll put them upon salts and senna for the rest of their lives .

      THE MANCHESTER CORN LAW MEETING . Ws stole an awkward march upon our Manchester Whig friends by a bit of an express last week , by which means we administered the antidote with the poison . There appears to be much mystery in the whole affair . The Morning Chronicle of Monday is silent upon the u important subject f the Guardian declares it unsafe to hold any more meoetings ; " the Sun tells a thumping lie " upon authority ; " and yet some of the worthies claim a victory !! If so , we can only say they don't deserve it , they have made such a very bad use of the triumph . But what Bays the Manchester Chronicle 1 Why , this :

      "The Leagcebs Defeated . —Never , within our observation , was there a wiore signal or humiliating defeat sustained by any party than by the Anti-Corn law League yesterday , from the Chartists . " Now , will this do for our friends ? The Guardian cannot speak truth ; he calls a Mr . James Caktledge the reporter for the Star , while he knew he was telling a lie . Wa 3 it Thomas Thobnhill Clarksok , Esq .-, who gave evidence against O'Bsikm at Liverpool : or was it JeremiaB , or Johs Ed-ward himself , that volunteered upon this service f

      We last week , in our several editions , reported , aud truly reported , three of the greatest triumphs ever gained by a people over a faction . The complete overthrow of Walteb and Co . at the Crown and Anchor , upon the " pat them on the belly " question ; the signal defeat of the export and import " Ogres " of Derby , with the Mayor in the chair ; and the unmerciful whacking of the whole League in the very camp . Here the fustiauB , under the coses of the rank-smelling tyrants , after having thinned them iu skirmishes and Bection fighting , actually took the whole camp by storm ! And waen ? Why , just -when & triumph would have been a good announcement of Villiebs' intended motion , and , to insure which , they , as a matter of course , put forward their whole force .

      We have always told our friends not to leave the enemy a single shadow of a shade of doubt to hang a doubt upon ; and , as we understand that the " gentlemen" of Leeds intend taking advantage of the presence of Mr . Baikes , M . P ., to hold their cheap labour meeting , on Tuesday next , we trust that the thing will be put beyond all doubt , or cavil . Our friends now see the manner in which their good nature has been returned ; let them bear in mind that Leeds fought the first battle of the Spring campaign , and , on Tuesday , will finish it with the annihilation of the faction . *

      Wherever Dr . M'Douall , Leech , and Bairstow , happen to be , it becomes the bounden duty of the inhabitants of that locality , to send them to the national camp at Leeds , on Tuesday night , in order that they may go over the chart , and each perfectly understand the part allotted to him by the council of war , now arranging for the capture of Fort Humbug . Pitkethlt , ' of Huddfirsfield ; Abban , of Bradford ; and other friends , must be there too . Let no man remain behind , and we will teach them how to count heads this time . Hurrah for Tuesday , then ! Leeds began , and Leeds will finish . Let M'DeuALL , Lkech , and Baibstow be Bent , without fail , and in time .

      THE AMERICAN WAR . Or a readers will , no doubt , have felt BOme astonishment at our silence upon the subject of a war with America , while we have looked upon their indifference as a happy omen of increased domestic reflection . Time was , when an earthquake in China would have had more effect upon tke English mind than any amount of domestic oppression , and , in consequence , the press never failed to supply the foreign melo-dramatic representation , with bine fire and all , while they were performing flie domestic tragedy . We bave not mentioned the subject , firstly , because the life of a man may , in some way , be affected by the course which the people of this country ap-

      pear to take . Mr . M'Lbod's life is not to be sported with , at least by us ; and we fear venturing npon a line , which , by giving an injudicious tone to public opinion , might , by tbe remotest chance , have that tendency . If he was within reach of us , we would have given oar opinion boldly and freely ; bnt any apparent interference , before trial , with the laws of one nation , by the people ef another , may cause a substitution of defiance for justice ; and , let it never be forgotten that if injustice be sanctioned against anyone , under any circumstances , a precedent will be very easily framed on t ot the role .

      Such , then , are our personal reasons for not venturing any remark , while our opinion generally is , that the Free Republic of America will find herself considerably fettered by her three millions of black slaves , and England would find herself no less encumbered by her three millions of white ones , in the event of a war . We trust , we hope , and we feel confident that there will be no war , and , for that very reason , because the slaves of each nation are trammels around each nation ' s neck ; and we earnestly and devontly pray that upon the first shot being fired , some lucky accident or kind friend , will

      put a firelock in the hand of every Southern State slave , and say , There , then , there ! behold , you slaves , the land enriched with your hearts' blood , your sweat aad your toil ] Take , take , take this musket , as your title henceforth to hold it for yourselves , and to till it and use it for your own benefit , and may God bless you and it . Be not tyrants over those whom you command , or we will arm them , and depose you . " If such is to be one of the results of an American war , God send it

      to-night before to-morrow ; while we beg to assure our virtuous readers , that we have no desire to leara that a company of English soldiers discovered , after the battle , that many had probably shot their own brothers , fathers , sons , or friends . Again , and again , let us impress our readers with the grand truth , that we look for the People's Charter to establish that balance of power which shall decide controversy by right , and not by might . What nation ever yet gamed by war !

      PEEL AND STANLEY . We may at least claim credit , as having been the first to discover a desire , upon the part of the Right Honourable Baronet , to see the Earl of Derby on Mb road to bliss , in order that his hopeful son may be on his road to the Upper House . Many circumstances have since transpired to prove the truth of our prophecy ; but the press , in discussing the question , omits one of the most important points" tenure . "

      Now , Stanlet would be much more powerful than Peel , if Stanley could confer as good a tenure upon hi 3 serfs ; but then , unfortunately , he has but a life interest himself , and that a bad one—a very bad one ; and the young birds know full well , that should they now give up the certainty for the uncertainty , by abandoning Sir Robert , to go to Lord Starlet , that upon the melancholy evsnt of the death of Earl Dbbby , the cross would stand before the name of each

      deserter in the Black Book ; this is Peel ' s strength , and this P&el knows . We said some weeks ago , that Peel was preparing to throw himself into the arms of Whiggery ; we now assert that he has become much more liberal than any Whig Government since 1688 , with a single interregnum of Fox and Bedford sham-liberality towards the close of the eighteenth century , when they had the fear of the American war and French Revolution before their eyes .

      We have long said , and we now repeat it , that Peel , Wellington , Lyndhubst , Bbougham , and even Stanley , will make any sacrifice to get rid of Daniel , aud they will succeed ; and then Dan will look in vain for the ladder by which he got on the house-top , and like all fools he'll tumble and crack his neck , for the people will never again be humbugged by any man liviDg ; they want their Charter , aud that none can long withhold with safety .

      NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION NOMINATION OF THE COUNCIL .

      We have received a considerable number of names of persons nominated to serve in the first General Council of the National Charter Association ; but , as many others have yet to come in , we have deferred publishing them till next week , by which time we hope that every town and village , which has not yet nominated its councillors , will have done so , so that we may lay the whole list before the whole country , at one view .

      THE CONVENTION : VALUE OF REFLECTION .

      Most fully agreeing in the universal expression of approval of O'Cosnob ' s plan of a Convention , we have had time to see some , or rather one , of the defects in its details . Nothing is more to be dreaded , or more to be avoided , than the slightest provocation for je&loua feelings ; and , above all , nothing could be more injurious than a collision between the Exeoutive and the people of any locality . In order , therefore , to prevent the possibility of such an occurrence , we would recommend the substitution of the ballot for O'Connob's plan , in the event of more than ten

      being elected as delegates . That is , we would recommend the Executive to call a public meetiog , and at that pnbJic meeting , and in presence of all assembled , to write the names of every candidate chosen , upon slips of paper ; and then , after a proper shake , commence a ballot , by having the names drawn , by a person blindfold , from the ballotting-box , and when proclaimed , let the name be thrown from the hustings among the audience ; and When the eight , With Moia and Wiiuams , are chosen , let those be put to the meeting as the persons duly elected .

      This plan will prevent after disputes and jealousies ; for we do confess that the people at Edinburgh , Newcastle , or Norwich , or any place , would have just cause of complaint , should their delegates be postponed upon no better grounds than the vote of a meeting , to whom they were entire strangers . This would bring sections into collision with the Executive , which should , above all things , be avoided . Our plan leaveB no room for jealousy , suspicion , or after clap .

      We throw out the suggestion for the consideration of our readers . We bave great pleasure in informing our readers that more than one half of tbe Bum required h& 3 been subscribed during the past , fortnight ; and , we have no doubt , relying , as we do , on the spirit and zeal ef the people , that the remaining half will be forthcoming before next Saturday .

We are progressing rapidly , though we hare much to contend with : the sainted teachers of the people , the middle-class legislators , and the bigotted tools who fatten and riot on their spoils , have done their worst to crush every germ of our growing principles ; but ia vain . Knowledge is progressive , and truth immutable ; and , like the mountain , stream , it may be impeded or retarded in its course , but gathering strength by every obstacle , will ultimately burst all bounds , and find its way . at last is calm and majestic beauty to the great ocean of truth .

M'Farlane . ih seconding the resolution remarked , that no motion , he believed , had ever met with more . general approbation smong the Char tiats of every description than Utopian of a Petition Convention , as proposed by Mr . O'Connor . The moderate party was in its favour , and so wu the more sanguine : the one party because they had always acted npon it ; the Other party because it came from the quarter it did—in fact , he believed no one would oppose it , unless it were from factious motives .

      way , showing the good results that were likely to flow from the measure . He was repeatedly cheered , The resolution was then put by the Chairman , and unanimously carried . Mr .

The subject of the lecture was good , and elicited considerable applause . _ He concluded by proposing a union with the middle classes , for the purpose of obtaining the Charter , and recommended that all offensive langnage , aBunat that class , should be carefully avoided dj the Caarfists . The proposition and recommendatwn caused considerable merriment amc . g those present . Me 3 sr 8 , Cullen , Colquhoun , and others exptesaeo themselves briefly on the subject ; the substance of which was , that the Chartists had done everything thev could to get the middle classes to co-operate with them , and had ultimately found out , that they had only been grasping at a shadow and leaving the substance behind , and if any offensive language had been

      used against the middle class , they had themselves to blame , having been the first aggressors , and that the middle-class were so cut up in sections or parties , that no union could be formed with them . There were the Whig and Tory party , the ConrLaw Repealers , the Undefined Extension of the Suffrage men , the Household Suffrage humbugs , the voluntaries , Non-intrusionist and Church Endowment parties , and last not least , a party so deeply engagea in looking after black slavery that they could not see the wnite slavery at their own doors . In awota , the middle-class were divided upon all subjects ana united upon none , while the Chartists along wra the real friends of humanity among the ^ midaieclasses , were firmly united upon one given object , ana they must and will ultimately triumph . A vote « thanks was given to the lecturer for his otherwise excellent lecture , when the meeting dissolved .

We had but the alternative of withholding them , or his second letter to O'Mallbt ; and , in the selection , we consulted our own feelings , which , we ate convinced , will be responded to by our readers , that nothing should be allowed to interfere with the chain of electricity , which is sure to be produced npon the mind of every man by the letters to O'Mallev .

      The whole series will form a compendium of Irish history , each increasing in romantic beauty and historio research—the whole presenting Ireland at one view , in a manner never attempted by any ^ writer of an y age , in a whole Ufa . Well may O'Conkob say— " no man shall plead ignorance of Ireland when I have done with her . " The second letter , which will be found ; in our seventh page , will be read , but never will be answered . When completed , the whole series will be published ia a cheap form , and may be taken as a second volume of O'Connor ' s letters to O'Connell .
