      CAUTION IN BUYING FURNITURE . "PURCHASERS attracted by the absurd offera of JT some Puffiug Shops to Furshish Houses for little or nothing , should delay paring with their Money , unless satisfied by better references than those to a few interested individuals , or by enquiry among their own friends , many of whom ms ? nave suffered under the system practised . A few trifling Articles are shown , to commence with at a low price , and when the confidence of tha customers is secured , extragavant sums are obtained < or goods of a vary ordinary quality , and even inferior . articles to those shown , are ultimately delivered , ( . alter a large payaseat has been made on account ) , and should any complaint afterwards be made , or dissatisfaction expressed by the purchaser , it is treated with indifference , and the only remedy is , by aa action at lavx , ( the dealer nofc . reckoning to supply the parties a second time . ) Ia cases where Estimates are given , it will generally befound , when too late , that tbe expense incurred ia about double the amount first calculated on .

      THE PROJECTED STRIKE . List ~ week we Bounded the note of warning Twas not without cause ! Another stbtrb is being planned ] The plotters jreagsin at work ! The arrangements are being jnade I . Assin "we implore of the people , io hare neither jjsnd nor lot in the matter ! Let the Leaguers haTe jt all to themselves . Letibem show their valour and ibeir proa-css alone ] Let them pnt themselves ia ^

      poatiocs of danger , and subject themselves to the ¦ pen<ea of death and transporting , if they are so incfineS . Let ifeera receive t&e punishmentB due for breaches of the law , if they be fool-hardy enough io commit them ; and let them then be asked how jjjsy like it T * Bnt , for the sake of everything dear $ o man » let not the people be again footed ! Let them pot be the dupes of designing men , who get them into the lurch , and then leave them there 1 Have nothing to do with this new btetee ! Leave it with gieLeasne 1

      It is in progress 3 We are sore of it . If we had . g ny doubt on the subject it would have been removed jj Ggbdek ' s speech ob Friday night last . He foreiiUs it to the House" ! No doubt he is able to do got He reminds them that he foretold the last , go be did I His present "foretelling * is ominous . The next ont-Jreai , if * be Leagne can accomplish all they intend ,

      js to be of a very extensive character J The agricnl joral population are to " RISE" ! And this ' is to be £ s result of the League's efforts in the Agrieul jmal Districts , is it 1 It is to this end they are sorting , is it ! The " DISTURBANCES are not io be confined to the Cot Ion District / " So says Cobdes . He speaks by the card . He knows what gie League are abont ; and he " foretells" what is to waneto pass . Here are his words : —

      » * Ehey mi « fai say " that beiras a prophet , -who would Up tofbISI hisottd prophecies ; bnt , say iristtbey Y&M , ES "W OVXD T ; EL 1 THX 3 this , as . indeed , he jaS told them last year , THAT WORSE THINGS - ^ ERE IK STOKE : that presently they would have 5 s £ j in a worse condition in the North of England ; Ell THS DISTURBANCES "WOULD SOT BE C 03 - rnrED io the Cottos Districts alose , but that jsg irozfe'd have the agricultural population RISING spas them , as they had . the manufacturing population last annmin .

      Again we implore of the people to let the Leaguers have it to themselves . u Tonch not : handle not" i Slaughter and incarcerations will be again your lot , if yon do I Play not the fool to please the League , and be laughed at for yourpaina . Let them try to perform their own game . They will miserably fail ! and then the people can langh at their inflated impotence . '

      THE QUESTION OF MACHINERY . This is the perplexer I This is the pnzzler ! It ¦ srilliiiidflZ ? their work , before it i 3 fully arranged and reitltd . However the present iaee of states-3 BH 1 msy calculate on k&iBg able io provide for , or siave off , the evil hour it threatens , it will upset &H liar calculations and thwart all their measures There is scarcely a man of the present day that &re tackle the question . ATI , almost , seem afraid cf it They see it working the greatest of revolutions

      dunging ,-completely , the entire relations of classes ; sad they dare not interfere to guide its operations ! They see it inverting the order of nature , reducing u rivHisation" to barbarous savagism ; and they dare lot even attempt to regulate its workings .- Nay , ihey seem afraid even of ascertaining what its former effects have been 3 They apparently dread ihe making of themselves acquainted with the extent o ? the changes in the position and condition of entire elases thai it has caused !

      And yet such an investigation is imperatively seeded . li is the first step necessary to be taken , before we can form a correct idea of the manner in which the question should be dealt with . In the absesre of correct data , no correct opinion can be formed ; nor can legislation be safely attempted . It is dear that we cannot longer avoid dealingwith the matter . The evH 3 which the present application of Machinery inl-ct are too many and too dire to be loEger st&vgd off . Interference is inevitable ! The time has come when a searching inquiry as to the combined effects of its operations upon all classes mest be had . It cannot longer b 6 delayed . It has been delayed too long j until it has assumed Sat shapa that forbids further procrastination . -

      The people are especially interested in the instituting and prosecuting of such inquiry . A collection of facs on which to ground well-devised measures of regulation are needed . They can only in profured by the means here indicated . A Com-Edttee of practical men , of all classes and all psrries , ready to hear ail classes sad ail parties , sad Vi jadgs of the weight and importance of ihe opinions and testimony of all that present themselves for examination , i 3 the only mode of arriving at the truth . Have we learned common sense aough to ask for , and procure , the appointment of sath Committee ! If not , the old adage that Experisiee Tas'kfa foob wise" has no truth in it !

      THE LEAGUE AND THEIB PUBLIC MEETING . The League have ventured to put their nose out of their kennel ; and they have been drubbed J They liave pretended to appeal to pnblic opinion , in an open and public manner ; and they have been led to know xchere public opinion is ! They have found , to their discomfiture , that it is not with the League , notwithstanding the possession and spending of their £ 50 , 000 !

      We say pretended to appeal to public opinion . Let the reader refer to the account in another column of the League ' s public" meeting in tha Riding School , near to Regent ' s Park , London , and he will learn why we say so ! It will be there seen that though this meeting was to be a " public'' one , it was attempted to pack it with holders of *• tickets" I \ 1 This nefarion 3 scheme was

      detected and defeated by the promptitude and good generalship of the London men . All honour to them ! Most gallantly have they played their part ; and most serviceable hare they been to the cause ! The best wishes of their country brethren will ¦ attend them I They have not slept at their po 3 t . They have not shewn themselves lukewarm-The enemy hoped to be able to steal a march ; and right well have they showed him what's what !

      We wonder whether Cobden , or HroiE , or Evass , or Hall , or even the " Gallant Commodore , " will go to " the House" and say , that " the League have the people with them ; and that Chartism is down " Imagine Joe Hume saying this ! Joey , who " cut his lucky " , and RAN into the Upper Gallery , from the people ! Just imagine Jokt saying this and being reminded of his having to "lead the van" when flying to shelter from the indignant storm of the ** Sovereign People" ! Again we say , all honour to the London men We thank them , in the name of the Chartists of England , for the glorious victory they have achieved 1

      Follow it up ! Be awake ! Suffer not the victory to lead to a false security ! Keep on the watch The enemy may try again . If he does—meet him . The League have not pnblio opinion with them ; kob is Chauti » h DOWN ! If the League have flattered themselves into a belief that it is so , they must be taught differently !

      HDDDERSFIBLD . — Philosophical Hall . —A Public Meeting , ^ jonrened by the constables , in compliance with a requisition , signed by forty of the principal shopkeepers of the town , was holden on Tuesday night last , for " the purpose of taking into consideration the existing distress , and for devising means for its removal . " The large Hall wa 3 crowded to excess ; not less then 2 , 000 persons being present . Mr . James Shaw was called to the Chair . The following gentlemen had been invited to attend : —Rev . Joseph Bateman , Vicar ; Mr . Frederick Schwann , merchant ; Mr . Stocks , gent . ; Mr . Moor , postmaster ; W . Williams , wool-Etapler ; Benjamin Lockwood , Burgeon ; J . Brook , woolstapler ; Mr .

Lloyd Jones , London ; and Mr . Isaac Ironsides , Sheffield . The meeting , taken altogether , was one of the moBt interesting we ever witnessed . Many and powerfnl were the remarks which fell from the varions speakers . The following are the resolutions which were carried by an overwhelming majority — " That no empire , ancient or modern , ever possessed the same amount of surplus means to ensure permanent progressive prosperity without retrogresson , or what is technically called bad times , as tbe British Empire has secured within itself at the present period . "

      That the mass of the people of any nation , and especially the producers of wealth , never suffered so much , even when possessing only half the amount of these national means , to ensure good times to all , and of course prevent bad times to any , as the masses of the industrious now experience throughout Great Britain and Ireland . " " That the British Parliament possesses the power , at any time , to terminate for ever this most unjust and grievous condition of the population of our country , and to s ? t an example which must be speedily followed by other nations , by which the new scientific power of production may be made to ensnre the permanent prosperity of all Governments and people , without any injury , but with great benefit , to every rank and

      clara . " " That this most beneficial change can be effected by the Government making simple common sense arrangements , to properly ecuoate , and wisely employ , all the people who require the one or the other , and that this most desirable change may be now immediately effected by our Government passing effective laws to establish the unemployed upon tho laud , under arrangements that will the most economically employ , and , at the same time , will practically educate the children of the now unemployed , in order to make them good , industrious , and valuable subjects . " " That this change may be so

      directed that the proportions of land , of mines , and minerals , of all building materials , and of every trade and manufacture in the kingdom , as well a& all capitalists , and every part of the population shall be permanently and essentially benefitted . " " That the petition , memorial , and address , now read , be adopted ; that the petition to the House of Peers be presented by Lord Wharncliffo ; to the House of Commons by W . R . O . Stansfield , Esq ., and the memorial and address to the Queen by Robert Owes , Esq . " A vote of thanks was then unanimously given to the chairman , and the meeting separated .

A list of 120 was required . Mr . L . Pitkefely was called to the chair . Mr . J . Hobson immediately rose and moved an adjournment to ei # hl o ' clock in the evening , considering as he did that that time would be more convenient for the masses who were interested , to attend . The motion was carried , and the Hall of Science appointed as the next place of meeting . At the adjourned meeting a list of names were proposed by Mr . Hobfon , and seconded by Mr . Thurgarland , which was passed unanimously .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Wednesday , Feb 22 Tne first order of the day was tbe consideration of Mr . L ' . ddell ' s Personation of Voter ' s BL 1 in committee . It was suggested that it ought to form a portion of the Government Registration of Voters Bill , and some conversation arose on the propriety of including Ireland in the measure . Mr . Liddell declined to do so ; but Sir James Graham expressed his opinion that the measure should apply generally to the United Kingdom , and also stated one or two objections to tbe details of the bill , especially the taking a party accused of personation into custody for twelve hours , in order to compel him to prove his identity .- Ultimately the bill was postponed , on Sir James Graham's suggestion , till after the second reading of ibe Registration Bill .

      The Forged Exchequer Bills' Bill was read a third time , after some discussion as to the case of a particular sufferer . The Coroner ' s Inquests Bill was also read a third time . The House rose at half-past six .

      Thursda y , Feb . 23 . The House met a * , the usual hour , and some petitions were presented . Mr . S . Crawford postponed the motion of which he had given notice , respecting the representation of the people and the . duraSion of Parliaments , until Thursday , the 9 ; h of March . In reply to a question from Mr . Wallace , Lord Ashley said that he thonght it would be extreme . ' y desirable that the Government should undertake to introduce a measure upon the subject of the Truck system . He had not , however , communicated with the Government on the matter ; and if they were not prepared to propose any measure to the House he should himself introduce a Bill upon the subject .

      POOR LAWS . Mr . Walter then rose to propose the following resolutions , of which he had given notice : — " That in a document intituled , * Measures submitted by the Poor Law Commissioners to his Majesty's Ministers , ' appear the following passages : — ' That at any time after the passsing of this Act , the Board of Control shall have power , by an order , with such exception as shall be thought necessary , to disallow the continuance of relief to tbe indigent , the aged , and the impotent , in any other mode than in a workhouse , regulated ia such manner as by the aforesaid Board of Control shall be determined . The power of

      the Commissioners would be to reduce allowances , I but not to enlarge them . After this has been ao- { complisoed , orders may be sent forth directing that after such a day all out-door relief should be given in kind ; that after such another period it should be gradually diminished in quantity , until that mode of relief was extinguished . J | iSrpm tho nrgt ^ thejrelief should be altered in quality , coarse brorojpjread being substituted for wniteT and , conctirfeBfly ? with these measure as to the out-door poor , a gradual reduction Ehould be made in tfce diet of the in-door poor , and strict regulations enforced .

Th * t the attempted substitution of punishment for e ™ l wt more and mor « tended to irritate and dishearten the poor , to cheek industry , to increase crime , and to encourage various kinds of

      tyranny , withont even the proposed compensation of reducing the expenaea of the ratepayers . That this House think it therefore expedient to demand such a re-construotion of the existing system as shall make it conformable to Christianity , sound policy ; and the ancient constitution of this realm . " Tne Hon . Member could have wished that it had fallen to the lot of more able parties to bring forward a question of such importance ; he could have desired that ministers should have taken a more constitutional view of this subject , for he had a sincere desire that they should bring forward measures which were calculated to endear them to the people .

      good temper or greater adherence of the humbler classes to their employers shown since this cruel law was invented ! Certainly not—( heat , hear ) . They were now in the ninth year since the first attack was made against the old poor-law—a law originating with one of the greatest Sovereigns , and that a female , that this country ever knew , whose object u was to sustain the great mass of the people against hereditary oppression , and who , by trusting herself and her throne to the support of the peopie , not to family retainers , set the whole world at defiance . ( Hear hear . ) That poor-law the

      pre-, sent law depressed . It affeoted the agricultural interests , and also that of the manufacturers . In consequence of this attempt to subvert the basis of human society , every institution in the empire must ultimately sink . It had been usual in the practice of legislation , when through the lapse of time an old law had failed in its application to alter , to restore , to reform that law , but not to destroy it . But what had been the case here I They had destroyed the old law , and had substituted for it an invention new to history—an invention which in its principles and m details was alike distasteful . That class whi « -h had

      hitherto discharged the duties of parochial officers had been laid aside , and new terms had been incroductd and guardians had been appointed who were guardans in tbo Bame sense of tho word as the gu&rdirna appointed by the Spaniards for the Peruvians ; and he would refer the House to Sheridan ' s description of them , and of the manner in which they performed their functions . The papers which he held in his hand authorised Mm in making that assertion . The authorities had been afraid that the public should ' take cognizance of their deeds , and as a prooofof that he would refer to tho quotation from the memorandum of the Commissioners , alluded to in

      his resolutions . This confidential communicatu-u was followed t » y another , which Sxed the maximum of consumption for the poor , and gave the local officers a discretion to reduce their food below the maximum , if it could be done . That was horrible enough , but something even worse emanated from the first Report of the Central Board . Mr . Sturges Bourne , Mr . Senior , and four others made a report , which contained several recommendations and suggestions of a tyrannical and uncorstitutional nature , and in those recommendations and suggestions they had tho origin of the Bill itself . Great stress had been l&id on the first fabrication of this

      commission ; but before a single witness had been examined , all these gentlemen gave their opionion ihat something of an impressive character should be enforced against the poor . Mr . Owen , of Bridgewater , said it was a bill of indictment against all the poor of Eugland . Did the poor deserve to be legislated against in this manner ? Ought they to be subjected to the cruelty of the Central Board ? Ho held in his hand an account of the dietary of a Union in which not a single ounce of fresh meat was allowed from the beginning of the year to tha end . The only allowance was fire ounces of salt meat on the Sunday . He was not in the habit of attending the meetings of guardians ; but , on a recent occasion , being requested to represent the case of a man and

      his wife and five children , he . attended for that purpose . Relief had already been refused , on the ground that the wife had practised some imposition upon a benevolent lady in the neighbourhood . The husband , by the acknowledgment of two medical officers , laboured under an incurable pulmonary complaint ; he bore a good character . A doubt arose in his mind as to the truth of the charge brought against the wife . On making inquiry into the faots , he ( Mr . Walter ) received from the lady an assurance that nothing like what had been alleged had taken place . Yet he in vain attempted to induce tho guardians to grantout-door relief . Was it right , in suoh cases , there should be no appeal , except an appeal to the Board at Somerset House ? It was useless to detail all the casaaof this kind that

      might be welt authenticated ; there was not a single evil , to which tbe poor were subjected , that had not been aggravated by this system . He deprecated bo much of tbe time of the House being taken up with the discussions upon suck subjects as the conduct and proclamations of the Governor-General of India , instead of upon matters so vitally important as the present system of the Poor Laws , on which this House was as well qualified to declare its opinion as the immortal Duke on the subject of war . He proceeded to show that the evidence by which the Poor Law system was first passed , was got up by invidious practices . If there was any man who conceived that he was bound ^ to support this law , because he had , on its introduction , pledged himself to that effect , be

      ( Mr . Walter ) asked such a man whether , after the experience which nine years had given of the evila of the system , he would step forward on behalf of the continuation of those evils . He begged suoh a Member to paused—to retrace his steps . What , he would a * k , was the origin of the Anti Corn Law League i It was , he would tell them , suggested by a preceding league against the poor of England , whose food was ( to be deteriorated in quality and diminished in quantity . —( Hear . ) Let them ameliorate the condition of the poor , and they would diminish the public agitation . He called upon the Legislature , which had improved the state of the negro —who could now , it was stated , drive his gig —to endeavour to alleviate the condition of the

      freelabour artisan of England , whom the existing Poor Law crushed to the eartn . If they could not give him his cottage and his piece of laud , which tho negro possessed , they could at least put an end to the necessity imposed upon him of selling every article he posmato of those vast gaols the union workhouses ; if they sessedin order toqualify himself for becoming aniucould not give him his champagne , they might at least give him the cheap , wholesome , and national bisverage of beer . It was not , perhaps , yet . too late for them to retrace their steps . Ho felt strongly convinced that not only upon that , but upou other subjects , which kept the country in a ferment , that every object might be compassed , and easily compassed , if Hon . Gentlemen would but turn their thoughts in earnest io those subjects , rather than

      waste their time in struggling for political ascendancy —( hear , hear . ) If he were told that such a result was desirable but unattainable , he would quote , in reply , those words of Mr . Burke : — " I know it is oommon for gentlemen to say that such and such things are perfectly right , and very desirable ; but that , unfortunately , they are not practicable . Oh , no , Sir , things which are not practicable are not desirable . There is nothing ia the world really beneficial that does not iie within the reach of an informed understanding and a welldirected pursuit . " With that passage he should conclude , leaving the resolution in tbe hands of the House . Mr . Ferrand seconded the motion . Tho question having been put from tha Chair ,

      Mr . Walter again rose . Hon . Members had asked him where he got certain information from to nhich he had alluded . He had received it from a person who requested that his name might not be personally given . Sir J . Graham was in hopes , when the Hon . Member rose for the second time ^ that he was about to supply a most important'omission . In his speech he had made an omission that was somewhat startling ; he had read extracts from a document which he had dtclared to be confidential , and when he ro * e a second time he ( Sir James Graham ) was in hopes he was going to show how he became possessed of it , but nothing was less satisfactory than bis explanation . Upon a former occasion the Hon . Gentleman had asked him if he recollected

      these documents , and upon that occasion be said he did not , but since then he had some indistinct recollection that some ' such document existed , and he thought he could inform the House how that was the case . Iu 1832 , Lord Grey ' s Government , appointed a Commission to inquire into the condition of the labouring poor , with a view to amend the law , and the Hon . Member had mentioned to the House the names of some of the most eminent individuals forming that commission—the Bishops of London and Chester , Mr . Sturges Bourne and others , whose names were a sufficient guarantee to the House of the beneficent character of the Commission—( hear , hear . ) The Hon . Member had said that a particular document was of a cor fidential nature—that it emanated from the Commission , aud was submitted to Lord Grey ' s Cabinet .

      Mr . Walter observed that he had not said so , but the Right Hon . Bart . bjid . Sir J . Graham belioved it was in the recollection of the House when he asserted that the Hon . Member had said he wp ^ s in possession of a confidential communication —( hear , hear ) . Now he ( Sir James Graham ) coul < i tell the House the precise circumstances under which that document came into the Hon . Member ' s possession—( hear , hear ) . He had understood the Hon . Gentleman to say that it was a confidential communication ; but whether he said so or nocit was certain that it was confidential . This Coianiis'sioa baring prosecu'ed ihoir iuqniry , made

He believed that ] those h ^ ads were prepared by the professional gentlemen employed by the Commissioners in drawing up their report . He believed those heads were not known to the

      Commissioners , but were drawn up by the professional gentlemen merely for the consideration of the Government . He ( Sir J . G . ) Was told that of this document not more than twenty copies were printed . The Hon . Gentleman was very unfortunate in not having been present in the House daring the last session , when the Poor Law , in all its bearings , was largely discussed . ( " No , f from Capt . Peobell ) . Why he thought every thing except the Gilbert Unions was settled to the satisfaction of the Gallant Captain . The Hon . Gentleman appeared to imagine that the House was pledged to the Poor law .

Gentlemen on either side of ; that House , he was willing to rest the measure upon their practical knowledge and experience of the bad and good in the working of the system —( hear , hear ) .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , - — I have to inform you that we had upwards of twenty- victims in this locality after tha strike was over ; we , therefore , set ourselves to work for a defence fund . The shopkeepers formed a committee , and the operatives another . Tne trials were near at hand , an-i both committees-agreed to work together . We appointed ona of the shopkeepers as treasurer for the whole fund . In a few days oar income was betwixt £ 8 and £ 9 . A committee meeting was called previous to the Special Commission being issued , and as a part of our victims were at Chester and the remaining part at

      Kirkdale , the shspocrats informed the operatives'committee , that when toe tiia ! s were over at Chester , tfceir services would be at an end , " because a pirt of the victims at Liverpool were rascally Chartists . " After we received this kind answer from the sbopocrats , we had only twelve days left to prepare for tbe defence of the victims at" Liverpool , and the shopocrats kept the £ 9 that was subscribed for the whole of the victims . We , therefore , again be ? an to exert ourselves for our friends at Liverpool . We employed Mr . Hudson , of Stockport , to , defend them , and the whole cost was £ 23 . Our income baa been £ 21 , aud we nave five to take tiieir trials at Lancaster .

      We are now using all our exertions to raise subscriptions to hand over to Mr . O Connor . I remain , In the cause of freedom , John ChaRleswortk , Secretary Stalybridge , Feb . 21 , 18-43 .

      THE FORTHCOMING TRIALS . TO THS EDITOR OF THE JTOBTHBBN STAK . Sir—Ha 7 ing heard that the Attorney-Genera ! has signified his wish to some one of ths " conspirators " that he should p ( ead guilty , on the express nnderetaod-Mq that ae aftonld only be required to give bail for hia a ppearance when called up to receiva judgment , but tl iat t » will probably be never ao en ) Jed up , " I feel impressed with the absolute necessity of saying a favr words to the whole of the " conspirators" on this serious prspoaal .

      I would , then , have every " conspirator" seriously to consider , that tbcogh he might escape pnstehmenfc himself by pleading suflty , be would be furnishing a powerful weapon to tfac Attorney-CNnera ! , which ? would be wielded vostst dexterously against eVery other prisoner named ia the indictment . There are sixty-two persons charged' in that indictment : if any plead guilty , it will either be from a consciousness of gaiK , or it will be a false plan put ia agaiast the conviction'of * bis own mind , for tha mere purpose of escaping th » ' lash" of the law :

      But tha Attorney-Genera } will doabtless construe ifr v to the former , and " , I have ao doubt , it- ia for this vety purpose that the wove on his part , referred to above ,, baa been made , ff every man were charged in Or separate indictment his case would stand Atone , and he ' might safely please himself , and consider only his own convenience ; but as every one is thrown mto the same boat with sixty-one ethers , the case of one becomes the caBe of all the rest , and if any one plead guilty , the fact of a conspiracy will be at once proved , at all events to the satisfaction of the" impartial" and " ealightened " jurors ; and . the question of identity , as to tho other prisoners , will be ths only one to be decided .

      If therefore any one shoald yieW to the " wicked tempter , " he will lay himself open to the very grave charge of imbecility , or the still graver eharge of deep designing treachery , J . A .
