      The President And Secretary Of The Executive Commitiee-Of The National Charter Association To All Its Members.

      THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITIEE-OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION TO ALL ITS MEMBERS .

      Beoiheh Democrats , —Events of a most extraordinary and awful nature B » Ye transpired . during the last few weeks , throng the influence of which , aided bj the combined factions , Tory and ¦ Wide , those who have been foremost m the advocacy df the rights of mankind have been marked « nt bythe harpies of Government as fit objects for prosecution , imprisonment , and exile . Amongst those of nation

      who were foremost in the holy cause a ' s redemption , was to be found our worthy co-patriot and colleague , Peter Murray M'Douall , a stern , unflinching democrat , brave in times of peril , honest in his intentions , and of a sound and discerning judgment . Having carefully viewed the circum stances over , and seeing the necessity of filling np the vacancies that may occur from time to time in the Executive Committee , we recommend to the country the following suggestions : — . Firstly—To take into consideration the necessity of filling up the vacant seats in the Executive

      instanter . Secondly—Oat of the whole list of Candidate put in nomination , those . five that have the greater number of votes to be held in reserve , and whenever there occurs a vacancy , the candidate amongst the five who had the greatest number of rotes to be called to the vacant tei& , and so in succession until the laEt of the five should be called , if there shonld occur successive vacancies . But in all cases the rightful elected member to resume his seat if he is able and willing to do so . Brethren , we are aware that this is an addendum to the plan of organization . This line of policy , we believe to be in strict accordance with the principles of the people ' s Charter . Bnt as this matter appears to as to be one of very great responsibility , we must

      await with anxiety the sanction or rejection of these suggestions by the votes of the Association . As the pro Um . Executive have decided that Tuesday , the 25 th of October , shall be the last day on which candidates can be nominated , we are satisfied with their arrangement , and that the names Bhall be published in the Northern Star , of Saturday , the 29 th of October ; and instanter we expect the whole votes of the Association as to whether the members are satisfied with our proposals , the result to bo published in the Northern Star on Saturday , the 12 th of November . Then the poll for the candidates to be taken . No return need be sent of polling for candidates after Tuesday , the 22 nd of November . The gross number of votes for each candidate will be published in the Star on Saturday , the 26 " th day of November .

      -Brethren , we rely on your discernment , your judgment , and your love of liberty to carry into effect the above instructions . We remain , Your faithful Friends and Representatives , Jakes Leach , President . Johh Campbell , Secretary .

      LEA jUKSTON . —At the usual weekly meeting of the Chartists of Warwick and Leamington , it was resolved , " That tne thanks of this meeting be given to the Executive pro . tern , in the hope that they will continue in that office until the fate of the other members is decided . Twelve shillings was handed in for rafie tickets for the General Defence Fnnd ; half a crown for ditto , from Mr . W . of Warwick ; and five shillings for Mr . White ' s snpport . Money matters having been settled , an interesting discussion was held on the question— " What would be the duty of the Chartists in the event of the Corn Law League renewing their agitation f and ultimately the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That this meeting being convinced that the repeal of the Corn Laws would not benefit the

      working classes without a repeal of many other bad laws and legislative protection for our labonr , we , therefore , cannot sympathise with , or countenance the Corn Law League or any other party who will not agitate for the People's Charter , and" which , in oar opinion , is the only means of securing evenhanded justice for the whole people . That we deem it tbe duty of the working classes to avail themselves of every opportunity that presents itself to propagate and defend the principles of the Charter , and to cultivate public opinion in favonr of it by all peaceful and legal means , by reason and argument , and by their urbanity and rational conduct towards all those who may differ from them in opinion . That seeing the working classes are nnjustly deprived , of the right of citizenship and the use of-the public

      buildings , for which they are taxed and which are supported by their industry , we hold that whenever a public meeting is called in any building that is public property , for lecturing , &c , they ( the working men ) Ehould attend and there maintain the right of the majority to approve of , or reject any chairman that may be proposed ; and that the usages of society requires a chairman to preside over all such meetings ; but , in case of lectures being delivered in private buildings , we holi that such affairs should be regarded as private property , and that parties delivering lectures under such circumstances have an nndonbted right to make what arrangement they please , and should not be interrupted . The discussion was SHpported well by Messrs . j . aw £ red , Stanley , ( arantham , Arkins , Wild , Donaldson , and others .

      STBOTJD . —In this town , as elsewhere , the frieeds of true democracy have had , and still con-&ne to encounter , many difficulties , and opposition of no small magnitude . Our little crew , having snffered worst from want of employment , felt much discouraged and indifferent as to the result of their ever obtaining their political rights . Our pilot being Truth , " our helmsman " Justice , " and our compass " Love , " we waded on through many difficulties , and partially passed through the cesspool of corruption , when we ventured to hoist the colours of true democracy ; and , nailing our colours to the Bast , we have commenced battering down the tents of tjrants by means of subscription books being taken into the camp of the adversary . We hope every maa of liberty and love to his country will make it a duty to contribute to so noble , so patriotic , and so good s cause . Mr . Millsom , of Cheltenham ,

      lectured here on the 20 : b , and gaye great satisfaction . If every man worked like him , the rights of the poor woul ' d speedily be obtained . Since he commenced lecturing , he has walked 1 , 500 miles at the expence cf himself . Our weekly meeting was held on Monday night , at the Globe Inn . The following resolutions were moved and carried unanimously : — " That we hail with delight the noble example shown by the men of London , and pledge ourselves to work with them , to accomplish the g lorious -victory of right over might , of justice over injustice . " — " That we deem it contrary to the rules of the Association to elect a fresh Executive until the time is expired , which , according to Article 14 tb , is in February , 1843 ; and that we consider the Executive pro tern ,. in London , quite sufficient until such time as the members of the Executive are at liberty to cooperate with it . "

      MSRTBYR TTOVXIi . —At the usual weekly meeting of the Charter Association , Mr . Matthew John in the chair , the following resolution was unanimously passed : —• ' That we , the Chartists of Merihjr Tytivil , deem it our bounden duty to use every means in our power to snpport the families of onr patriotic brethren that have fallen victims to tae iron hand of tyranny ; and farther pledge ourselves neTer to cease our exertions tiL ! they are restored to their honaeB and their families , and the Charter the law of tbe land . " As a token of their sympathy they have sent £ 1 to ihe office of tiie Evening Star , that is , 10 s . to Mrs . Ellis , and 10 s . to the National Defence Fund .

      DEWSBTJRT . —Lectures were delivered on Monday evening in the large room over the stores , by Messrs . Brook and Bray , of HuddersfielpV on the benefits arising from co-operation . A goodly cumber were in attendance . The subject was handled in fine style and gave every satisfaction . Six new sh . ires were taken in the company ' s stores , which have m ? w every appearance of doing well . The stores are based upon the foundation of Chartism . Mr . James fox has been appointed as salesman of the stores . ^ OEK , At a meeting of the Chartists of this city called by requisition , a memorial to her Majesty was proposed by Mr . W . Barley , seconded by Mr . J . Webster , supported by Mr . W . Beesley , and unanimously adopted . A copy of tbe memorial has been forwarded to us for insertion in the Star ; the strong language in which it is expressed , however , precludes the possibility of our printing it .

      NOTTXKSHAItt . —A meeting of the Defence Fund , consisting of Messrs . Carrington , Boonham , R . T . Morrison , Sherrett , and King , of the Chartist Association , and Messrs . G . Parkins and Walker , of tKe Complete Sufirage Association , with delegates from ; he -various localities in Nottingham , took place on Monday evening , at six o ' clock , in the News Room , Swan ' s Yard . Mr . Sweet was called upon to preside , when tbe following resolutions were passed unanimously : —Proposed by Mr . T . Beggs . * td seconded by Mr . Swann— " That circulars be ntffiediateiy issned to all the friends of liberal principles in the town , soliciting their aid in favour of wte

      mud for supporting tbe wives and families of the teen who ire incarcerated in Southwell House of UrrectioB , on a charge of riot , and for defraying We Expenses already incurred for their defence .

      TO THE CHARTISTS RESIDING IN THE COUNT" * OF SURREY . You will perceive below the amount of the expenditure of the late demonstration , and also the receipts . As there are many false reports abroad , by designing individuals , it is highly necessary that means be immediately taken by the various localities in Surrey to pay those individuals the amount due to them . Connected with this is , also , tbe late tea party at the Montpelier . I beg to state that this is the last notice I shall give requesting all persons having had tickets to pay for the same . By

      withholding the names of individuals from the public I have been blamed by many , although it has been done with the purest of motives on my part . Having bestowed so much time and labour upon this , I shall publish the balance-sheet in the next week ' s Star . A meeting of the members of Council residing in Surrey will take place at the Ship Tavern , Longlane , Bermondsey , on Wednesday , November 2 nd , at three o ' clock , on matters of great importance . 1 once more request all persons holding tickets of the theatre , residing in Surrey , to pay for the same on or before Tuesday next .

      MANCHESTER—Carpenters' Hall—On Sunday lest , Mr . Tnos . Dickinson , the Manehester Packer , delivered two powerful lecture * , in which he showed up the folly of attempting to put down the agitation for the Charter by the display of military , and tbe calling into requisition an unconstitutional police force , who act in tne deuble capacity et bludgeon-men and hired spies . Mr . Dickinson then gave a lucid description of the evils resulting from clsss-legislation , and showed most clearly that nothing but tbe adoption of the People ' s Charter would give anything like permanent relief to the toiling millions . The lecturer then

      alluded to the connection between Church and State , and related several anecdotes in iUustraticra of this part of the subject . He concluded by a feeling appeal on behalf of those parties who bad been pounced upon by an arbitrary Government for their advocacy of the great and good principles contained in that imperishable document called the "People ' s Charter . " The afternoon lecture was weil attended , and in tbe evening tbe spacious Hall was crowded , and tbe lecturer received tbe thanks of his numerous auditory , who retired highly delighted , after a liberal collection had been made to meet the current expences of tbe Hall .

O'Connor , with a letter of condolence from the members , in his late affliction , and also requesting bis assistance in this locality at the first convenient opportunity . The thanks of the locality were given to Mr . Cleave , for presenting us with fifty Pamphlets and one hundred Circulars , the proceeds to go to the victim fund . The evening was spent in discussing , in a friendly manner , the best means to be adopted to agitate for the Charter in this locality . It iB earnestly requested that all members will attend on Monday next , at half-past seven o ' clook , when a discussion will be opened , —What are the probable means to ba used to gain the Charter ?

      Mile End . —Thlo locality « H 11 continues weekly to increase in numbers . Spirited And enthusiastic lectures are delivered two or three nights in tbe week ; eaoh adding some new members to our ranks to assist us in the good old cause of Chartism , which , notwithstanding the recent persecution , holds up its mighty and unconquerable bead above the waves of prosecution . Newinqton . —A numerous meeting of the Chartists of this locality took place at the Crown and Anchor , Walworth , on Tuesday evening last , when a very animated discussion took place . Several persons very ably addresaad the meeting , which broke up at a late hour , highly satisfied with the proceedings . —Mr . Rainsley was announced te lecture on Tuesday evening next , on the People ' s Charter .

      BIRMINGHAM . —Aston STREET . —On Sunday night , Mr . Cowan in the chair , after a long discussion , in which Means . Sanders , Linden , and Williams took part , a resolution was passed , requesting the council to convene a delegate meeting of the district , to consider the best means to be adopted for the obtaining a better organization . Grand anc Glorious defeat op the Anti-Corn Law , and Complete Guffrage LEAGUes . —The town having been plentifully placarded by the Anti-Corn Law League , calling a publio meeting of the friends to cheap bread , for Tuesday night , balf-pait seven , at that hour the publio office was crowded to excess . On the secretary to the Anti-Corn Law Association , making his appearance on the platform , Mr . David Potts moved that Mr . Follows , hair dressdr ,

      Monmonth-street , take tho chair , which having been duly seconded , was carried unanimously , amidst rapturous applause . Air . Follows said he hoped , as they had eiected him to the onerous office of chairman , they would allow every one a fair opportunity of expressing their opinions upon the important matter they were called upon to consider . He then requested the secretary to read the placard calling the meeting . The Secretary of the Birmingham anti-Corn Law Association then read tbe placard as desired , and proceed to state that , having been the chief instrument in calling the meeting , he considered it to be for tbe free traders only . Mr . Sanders said it was probable there were many persons present who did i » ot Tightly understand what was meant by frea trade , and that it would be better for all parties to be heard ,

      whether free traders or not , for that it was only by discussion that truth was elicited . At this state of the proceedings , Mr . Bright , of Rochdale , and Mr . Paulton , anti-Com Law lecturer , accompanied by two magistrates of the borough , ascended the platform . Mr . Smith Linden said , that he believed that certain parties who originated the meeting thought by getting Mr . George White out of the way they could steal a march on the Chartists , but ho could tell them he was not afraid of Paulton , A eland , or any individual they could bring forward to defend and expound their nostrums . The Chairman then called upon Mr . Bright , who commenced by stating , that there was a time when there was only one party of reformers tin Birmingham , but be was sorry to Sad that they were now split up into sections . The

      country used to look to Birmingham as a centre , and he believed now , with Manchester , the two would do more than all the other towns in the kingdom . The latter , at present , took ; the lead , but would willingly resign tbe honourable position to the men uf Birmingham . [ Mr . Josh . Scholefield , M . P ., here ascended the platform , and was received by cheers from the respectables , and a volley of groans and hisses from the working men , amidst cries of " Where ' s White ? " ] Mr . B . said they had all beard of the patters turn-out at Aehton and elsewhere . Who had caused them ? ' The Anti-Corn Law League bad been instrumental in preserving the peace of tbe country daring the recent strikes . ( Great hissing , and cries of " Who stopped the mills ? " ) Many , he said , bad been forced from the be land of their birth by the iniquitous Corn Laws , and

      gavea long rigmarole stery about Joseph is Egypt . ( 'Any old woman would tell us a « much as that , " and great laughter . ) The meeting now showed symtoms of impatience , and Mr . B . said had he been in Manchester be could have obtained a hearing . ( Cries of " Stephenson ' s f qnare to wit i " ) Yes , he would tell them some thing about-Stephenson-square ; the disturbances which took place there were caused by the money of the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos , sent down by Dr . Sleigh and Charles Wilkins , barrister-at-law . They never would be prosperous without a repeal of the Corn Laws . ( "The Charter . " ) He then made the most vituperous attack upon the leaders of the people it has ever been our lot to hear , charging them -with being in the pay of a Tory government , whose tools they were . The meeting would hear no more , and Mr . Bright sat down .

      Mr . Farkes , Christian Chattist , then rose . He thought tbe gentleman who had just sat down bad taken up a deal of their time in useless rigmarole . He did not believe the parties advocating the repeal of the Corn Laws were honest If they were , why not assist tbe working men in getting the Charter , and then they coald easily repeal tbe Corn Laws ? Mr . B . bad said there was no other law which pressed upon the industry of the working classes but the Corn Litts ; but he could tell him that the laws of entail and primogeniture pressed , heavily upon them . He would not give up his right to the Suffrage , and he contended that the Corn Laws never would be repealed until we had the Charter . He said it had become fashionable

      with " gentlemen" of late to charge the working men with tyranny . Judge Tindal , in the recent trials , bad done the same ; but those individuals may go a step too far in their abuse . He hoped they would go for nothing less than the Charter . Mr . Saunders , in a speech replete with good sense , moved the following resolution : — " That we , the inhabitants of Birmingham , in pnblic meeting assembled , do consider the corn , provision , and every other law that presses on the industry of the people obnoxious , aud ought to be abolished ; but that this meeting feels satisfied that they never will be repealed until the People ' s Charter becomes tbe law of the land . And we call upon all sincere lovers of liberty to use their utmost

      exertions in every ward to return members to tbe town council pledged to carry out the above principle . " This was seconded by Mr .

      CHARTISM IN SCOTLAND . Pursuant ! to a previous notice in tbe 7 > ubl ! c press , calling a delegate meeting from , the Chartists of Scotland , the meeting took place in Edinburgh on the 3 rd and 4 th of October . The representation , though not a fall one , was a fair one , comprising delegates from the large towns in Scotland , around which tho strength of the Chartist cause lies . After due and calm deliberation on oar present position , they agreed to the following resolutions , and recommendation to the body , as being in their opinion tbe best calculated to advance our cause , and give efficienj to its efforts : —

      Moved 1 st . —That ; the Chartists of Scotland be incorporated into a National Association , to be conducted by an Executive Council of seven , who shall be obosen and reside in Edinburgh , the Secretary only to be paid for his services , and that a sub-Secretary be appointed , in each of the large towns , to correspond with the Execntive Council , and give suob advice and information aa they may think useful . Such sub-Secretaries to have the power of attending tbe meetings , and taking a part in the business that may come before the Executive at any time they please , or may deem

      necessary . : II . —That the Secretary shall receive £ 1 per week , until the Association is ful ' y in operation , when be shall nave a permanent salary of 30 a . per week , and whatever he may reeeive for lecturing or otherwise serving the osuse . to go to tbe funds of the Association . The duties of the Secretary shall be to conduct the correspondence of tbe Association , and superintend tho publication of a monthly periodical to be called the " Scottish Chartist Pioneer , " -which shall be a record of the progress of the cause , and contain as much useful information regarding the movement , as can be collected . The price to be twopence . III . —That Mr . Robert Lowery be elected Secretary pro . tern , and that all the localities in the country be requested to transmit him a statement of the number of copies of the Pioneer they will require , with the money in advance , this being necessary to ensure the stability of the paper .

      IY . —That we recommend those parties who have adopted memorials to the Queen , to have them transmitted to the Committee in London , for presentation ; but we cannot advise snob places as have not adopted them to incur expence in getting up meetings for that purpose , and we instruct the Secretary to write to the Committee , requesting them not to spend their money in useless processions at their presentation , when it is so much required for the defence of those who are about to be tried for the advocacy of our principles , and the support of their wives and families . V . —That in consequenct of the Conference which is to ba held at Birmingham , on the 27 th of December , not being convened , in accordance with the principles of Universal Suffrage , we cannot approve of the Chartists sending Delegates to take a part in its deliberations .

      VI— That we impress on the country the necessity and duty of raising a Fund for the defence of the Scottish Chartists who are about to be brought to trial , and for the support of their wives and families , and that after a sufficient sum has been collected for this purpose , that a National Fund be established to provide for the defence of all who may suffer for the advocacy of our principles , and all bums obtained for this purpose be sent to the Secretary , with instructions as to to how it is to be applied . VII That -we recommend the Chartists to maintain the sacred right of public meeting against any illegal interference of arbitrary authority , by taking care to call them , on a ll occasions , in a proper manner , according to law , and when interfered with to take proper evidence of the same , and meet and take means to prosecute the parties , and-petition Parliament to impeach the Home Secretary who sanctions and supports Buch arbitrary infringements of onr constitutional rights .

      VIII . —That we recommend that the members of the National Association pay one penny per month , to enable the Executive to carry on the business , and engage lecturers for the promulgation ot our principles , and the advancement of the cause . IX- —That no lecturer be recognised or employed by the Chartist body unless he can produce a card of membership , and a certificate of good moral character from tho locality to which he belongs . X . —Tha 4 no great object affecting the general interest of tbe Chartist body be decided or acted upon by any mere section of it , unless the opinion of the whole has been consulted , and a decision given ia its favour , through the medium of the officers appointed . ¦ '' ¦ . ¦ " '" '• ¦'

      XI . —That we call on the people of Scotland in every town and village to raise money by subscription , and every other advisable means , to liquidate the debts incurred by the late Central Committee for Scotland , so as to relieve their worthy Treasurer , Mr . Ross , from tho heavy liabilities incurred on their behalf . We also recommend the various committees to urge upon the ajents indebted to the Chartist Circular , to pay up their several accounts immediately , and to remit them to Mr . George Roas , Prince ' s Street , Glasgow . In the hope of a ready and loud response to onr call , aware that yon feel the necessity of establishing an organ , and defending your opinion through the press , we present to you the

      PROSPECTUS OF THE SCOTTISH CHARTIST PIONEER , TO BE PUBLISHED MONTHLY , PRICE TWOPENCE . The " Chartist Pioneer , " as its name imports , wiil be unceasingly devoted to establish the principles contained in the People ' s Charter as the law of the land , not less from our firm conviction of the just rights of the unrepresented , than from our conscious feeling that the happiness of every class depends on the establishment of justice in all their political affairs or institutions . In pursuing this , cur determination , wo will

      not allow ourselves to be tempted to the right orjbe Ie ! t iuto the crooked paths of expediency : firmly , but temperately , we will ever insist that the one great priaciple of equal right shall always take precedence of every other political subject , being convinced that it is vaiu to expect good laws from a faulty and unjust representation , and that knowing the machinery to be wrong and worn out , it is foolish to spend our time in altering and mending its imperfect work or produce , but that we should rather remove its imperfections , which are tho cause .

      In conclusion , we ask every lover of Freedom , to ponder on the various circumstances connected with onr position ; on the practical plans we here lay before him ; on the design of the publication announced in tho above . Prospectus ; and we are convinced that be will be no and loing . Whoever wishes to labour in some good and " honourable cause , that his life should be passed in advancing his country ' s good , and after death that his name sbuuld go down to posterity in connection with sbinething great , glorious , and good ; kt him xemeinbtir that the earth presents no scene more sublime , nor man no attitude more ncble , than that of a person asserting bis sacred rights , and struggling to be free from the bondage of oppression . Let every fireside and workshoo become the schools to teach these rights and

      duties . Let mothers teach tteir children the dark catalogue of the suffertnga ar . d -wrongs their futhers and themselves have borne , eo that they may bear the mtmory of them as lessons unto life's lost briath- Let fathers think they ever see their children's tiny bands uplifted , tl . eif wives' beating , breaking hearts and teaiful eyes , prayitig and pleading their manhood ¦ with all the elequence of woe . to save thorn from slavery and its sorrows . Let the old hoary-headed man use his last remaining powers to urge the sacred duty ; telling those qround him that he deemed this advice tb . 3 richest legacy he could leave them . Let young and old tbua joining , breathe one fervent prayer to heaven for help and strength to break oppression ' s bonds ; scatter to the winds the power of mans destroyer ; arjd on their ruins build the Throne of Right and Justice unto ail . Kobeet L 0 WEB . Y , Sbt ., pro . tem .

      REMARKS . It vcaa recommended that every locality take car cot to break the law against conesponding societies and that then * be one card , and that they S-nd not less than one penny per month each intmber for national purposes . That they carry on their own local affairs as seems best to them , only meeting not as local aud sorresponing associations . That the secretary be elected as an interim one , until the general localities confirm or reject the choice . . That his salary be £ 1 Is . per we . fc , until , the AsssGciation be established , with leave to make what he can by lecturing ; but that ¦ when established the salary be 30 s ., and any proceeds from lectnTes be may give , to go into the general fund ; that he be not bound to answer any ccrrespondence but that which comes through the" officers of any locality . That every association is recommended to send in subscriptions to enable the Secretary and E . C . to carry on until the Association be established .

      That the Secret ary write , urging alterations in tbe Storge document , calling tbe Conference at Birmingham . He would therefore wish that every locality send suggestions as to any alterations they would like to bo made ; and suggests that the best mode would be for tbe Committees of the Chartists and Complete Snffrago Associations to confer on what they deem the best mode for the circumstances they are in' That every locality become agents , get subscriptions , and send the money with the order for what number of copies of the " Scottish Canrtoi Pioneer" they will need . That every place sada in the address of its sab-secretary that baa not previonslj sent it .

      FREE PRISONERS . Quis talia legendo temperet alachrymia , TO THE EDITOR OF THE MOHNING CHRONICLE . Sir , —I will not offor you any apology for this letter , for I think , that upon perusal , it will ba found to contain-matters which describe the condition of the people of Scotland , more oloarly than any publication has yet done , and that in consequence it must have the effect of arousing us all to greater pity and greater exertions in the cause of so many of our fellow men , who are enduring every extremity of woe . : I extract from the seventh report , just published , on Scotland aud the northern division of England . The firBt point iB that which may be expected , that is , that the prisons are fuller than ever , owing to the universal distress . The next ia an entirely new

      fact—the springing up of a class who call themselves " free prisoners , " a , term hitherto unknown , but sufficiently expressive , as the sequel will Bhow . These persons are so entirely without hope or prospect in this world , that on the expiration of their sentences they voluntarily constitute themselves prisoners ; gladly coasent to undergo separate confinement , ten hours of bard labeur , and the hardest fare , in exchange for the boon of the prison shelter . No less than forty of these reside in the Glasgow gaol for long terms , somo a year , some a year and a half , some two years . they are orderly and exemplary in their conduct , submissive , industrious , and thankful , never onco crossing the prison thresholdnever complaining either of the monotony , or labour , or diet , and devoting to over hours of toil their other time . . ' ¦

      Whatever may be thought of the lawfulness oC this , its mercy is as paramount as its necessity ; foe if these voluntary captives be denied admission , they forthwith commit a crime , and the gates open bofora them . It imperiously declares the need of a better provision for the poor , than the scanty one now dolod out by the kirk session ; and it proolaims the hamanity of the excellent governor , Mr . Brebner , who is described by some of his prisoners as a father more than aa " a master . " Indeed , but for his interposition , very many must have sunk under tha extremity of their privations . . As , sir , you hava been compelled frequently to hold up to publio condemnation the stern character of several governors of prisons , so will you do the just act of making kno ; vn the merit of men like the governor of the Glasgow gaol .

      I proceed to give the evidence of a prisoner , which shows how incumbent it is to enact an efficient poor law for Scotland . It is given in her words , and heart-rending those words are : — " My parents were decent , honest people . I wad married very young to a sailor . When he went to sea he assigned me part of his wages every month . I had sore troubio after he left , for work Began to get scarce , and my little child fell ill . I went to tha agents to ask for my husband ' s pay . for I was eora distressed from grief and fatigue . The ship was lost off China ; all hands were saved ; but , as was tha custom in such cases , the wages were stopped . This was heavy news , for me , for 1 had neither work nor . money . I bore on for some time , trying to get wort , however trifling : but there was no work to be had

      for me and hundreds more . I had heard of a female htuse of refuge in Glasgow , and I detenninod to seek food and shelter there . I took my little boy ia my hand , who is about nino years of age , and walked ihe twenty miles to Glasgow . When I got to the house of refuge , I showed them iny marriage lines , that they might see I was a douce , decent body . The matron . was very kind to me , and said sha grieved for me , but that the hoase was not for such as me , but for poor misguided women—prostitutes and the like . My heart waa fit to break , and I said to myself , that I maun be wicked before I could get a morsel of bread . The matron took pity on me , aud she let me stay one night , aud gave me a supper aud a breakfast the next morning .

      We walked back again the long toilsome way to Greenock . I had nothing to buy food or shelter with . My boy was weakly , though nine years old , and I had carried him many times on my back , when he complained of his feet . I sat down on a bank and cried bitterly ; but my child , who was aye a douce clevor lad , aud had been weel instructed in the Sunday school , little aa he was , was my comfort , When he heard me say , ' we shall die of want ;'' well , mother * said he , ' then we shall go to granny , in heaven . ; and we'll want no fo » d there . ' He took off his jacket and pulled off his little shirt , and said I should pawn his shirt , for that would bring something ; aud so it did , and we got a night ' s shelter for thai time . "

      Can anything be more pathetio than this—any words better chosen than these of the poor Scotch woman ? Do they not go to every parent's heartdoth not tho similitude of her case to Hagar ' s strike every one ; but with this difference , that no angel came to her in her distress , showed her no well , and she at length—who can wonder , and who can blame —fell into crime , that her luumael might not perish in the Christian desert ! Is it possible that , in the face of narratives suolt as these , and with euch narratives I could fill your journal tor a year , that any other subject can ba thought worthy of our consideration 1 What avails the decoration of our to mis , the grandeur ot our

      palaces , the strength of our bridges , roads , arsenate ; the wide arch of our empire ; our colonies , that stud aud circle the world , when our people seek shelter ia onr prisons and force an entrance to them ; when they rather break ii . to them than out of them , when their hardeEt labour , their hardest fare , are sought as boons by the sons aud daughters of destitution { What is it , that our merchant navy is counted by a tonnage of millions—that the navy of the state ha 3 borne 150 , 000 seamen , carrying conquest to tha limits of the earth—that onr army has taken tha capital of bur enemies—that our exports are fifty millions—when wailing is in our streets , famine ia our cottage households , and cur refuge in prison t

      Is not our-wealth penury , our glory decay , oar strength debility ? te it possible that any other object than a remedy for such desolation , which the annals of each day confirm and augment , can fill the thoughts of pur Biutestnen , who rearing to their stately halls , can sleep without dread v . sroasof fqualidana pining multitudes , sometimes expiring in silence , at other timos breaking out into fteble insurrection—their strength for good or evil , unavailing through long emaciation Can they sloop to conbider progresses and pageants and baubles , barbarians ' wars , whexe victory is dofeat , aud defeat shame 1

      Let us hope better things , and ourselves resolve to bend every thonght , to restrain every faculty , to de-. voce every resource to the supply of the sorrowing inulutucle of our brethren , to the averting of despair from their heurt « and danger from ourgelvegjJtB ^ othtrwise , in Milton's words , we most im / Kmjifffyjp ^ , " by the irresistible might of weakneeg ^ L- 3 ^< 5 SgU 3 rV Your most obedient servAtfp ^ . ^^ T ^ i ^ Ql FREDER B ^^^^ W . 5 ib S ^ ite ^ S ^ jS ; ^^ M j
