      To The People.

      TO THE PEOPLE .

      Mt dkab Fsiekds , —Some little disappointment -might probably be experienced by some of you at not hearing from me last week . I cannot help it . I was labouring in your cause harder than my emaciated oonstitatioa is well able to bear , or than in justice to myself it ought to bear . I addressed large and attentive audiences , and at ^ reat length , every ] evening jDUt , as I last intimated to you , I am not now always master of my own powers . Hard labour , severe study , and the keen harrassment and torture of a thousand devilries , operating , for a long course of years , npon a constitution not naturally ; very strong , have done their work ; and have almost rendered me incapable of work . 2 am exceedingly desirous to perform irhat service I' may , while the

      opportunity remains to me . It may not , and in all probability will iiot , be long . I could not -write anjthing for yon in last week' s Star . Yon had your " portion of meat" served up by other hands . I know that you are anxious to hear from me again , to know how 1 " get on , " and to keep up that friendly iatercoarsewhich we have solong held together through the colamn 3 of the Star ; and it certainly affords me no les * pleasure to communicate with you . Secluded aB 1 have been from yon for years , 1 have seen but litfie of the people ; and was not Borry , iherefore , to have this opportunity of getting once more among them . I find them the same people as I [ have ever done ; somewhat improved , it may be , in general intelligence , more especially on politics ;

      -warmhearted , frank , and ingenuous ; ready to accord to the humblest merit its full meed of praise ; and having still the national fanlt of being , perhaps , too powerfully -wronght on by the last orator ] who speaks to them . There is , however , I am happy to perceive , a great step towards the correction of this evil . The people judge more freely , and think more independently than the ; were used to do ; and I sejoice to find it so . I regard it as an evidence that my labonr has not been vain . 'Kb thefTery disposition I have always sought to induce among them . My eSoiis have tended eyer to this point . I have regarded it of first consegnence to free them from the trammels of leadership , and to induce them to use their own jndgment , and direct their

      own affairs . I live only for them and their cause ; J know this to be requisite to the success of their cause ; and hence every advancement towards it affords me the sincerest pleasure . ; I left Leeds on Friday , the 14 th inst ., the anniversary of the destruction of the French B&siile ; a favourable omen , let me hope , of the destruction of thai cursed moral Bastile , in which have been so long immured the rights and liberties of Englishmen ; with all its physical adjuncts of prisons , -workhouses , and red and blue coat butchers , for the enforcement of its fell regulations . I was glad to feel the sweet breezes , and enjoy the s | weet prospect which the open carriages afforded me . I arrived at Belper just in time to find the people assembled , and anxiously expecting me . 1 find T . he cause here , as in most other places , to have suffered

      most severely from the mad freaks of last August . Belper was fiouribhing and in high spirits before then ; it has been drooping ever since . Despair seized on many ; fear on many ethers i coercion from the tyrant middle class seized upon the fit moment , and has , ever since the strike , held the poor people in a state of villanage exceeding anything that I have eTer heard of . In the whole course of my reading and observation , I do not remember to have met with an instance of a people so thoroughly prostrated and unhnmanised aa are the working people of this town and neighbourhood , by the " Liberal" Corn Law Repealing despots under whom they toil . Theinstances of tyranny detailed to meby honest , sober , ereditable men , of whose veracity there could be no doubt , were literally fearful—^ noagh to make one wonder into -what damned region one had bees

      cast . . ! The only room that could be had for mo was a large room appertaining to as inn . It was filled with honest hearts and true ; many of whom beat with fearful apprehension of the consequences that might ensue from their being " reported" in the morning ; whila hundreds cast their longing looks who dire not enter , and hundreds more thought wistfully and anxiously who dare not even look . Aa excellent spirit was manifested by those * who hazarded the venture . I addressed them on the present condition of the country ; on its former state ; on its fature prospects , sad ( in the means of egress from the slough of general destimtioii . Never were people more attentive ; never did audience stem more perfectl y to / crf every word altered , than while I depicted to them in too truthful terms their present state and future prospects . I recommended Union and Organization as the only ground of hope . They

      caught eagerly at it , and I have some hope >tn . to se © the " waste place" of Belper built up and fortified . Under the guidance of Mr . Tickers , a sterling honest man—as I think—they had the good fortune to escape the trap last August . Strong efforts were made by a few fools to plunge them into the vortex ; but Yiekers stood firm ; the people stood with him , and they were saved . It was , however , as I have said , laid hold of by the local authorities as a pretext by the local tyrants : they filled the town with military ; they pranced up and down the streets , and vituperated rhe Chartists as though there had been somesehous outbreak ; and they have ever since laid a bar on Chartism which amounts almost to a surveillance of people ' s thoughts . ? Tis fearful that such a state of slaving should be , any where ; but , while the system lasts , under which it has arisen , it will be conuaually gelling more impudtnt and more oppressive .

      I left Belper on Salurday , for Loughporough . Here 1 was prevented from travelling third class by a most impudent fraud ; a mere sharper s trick played off npon me by the agent of the Railway Company . 1 went to the booking-office ; asked I for a thirdrclass ticket , received a ticket and paid down the snm demanded , supposing it to be for third clis& ; when the train came in I was told that there were no ihird-class carriages attached to it , but that I fibpnld be * ' all right , " as mine was a eecond-class tieiet . Tiere were third class to the next train , for which I would have waited , had 1 not been tbns tricked . I have heard of similar tricks upon thiB line before ; and I state this fact for lhe caupon of other Tarries who may travel by the North Midland

      and Midland Counties Railway-At Loughborough , the people are in great poverty And here as at Belper , the friends had difficulty * n finding a roof to cover me . All the religious houses , lar ^ e schoolrooms , theatre , and other public bnildings were ref used . The only place tbw . « rald be had was a place called the Unicorn room , the same that was had for Mr . O'Connor at his last visit . This , ; for ** larg *} loom , " is a very small room . O'Connor spoke from the window to the people outside . ; I have a great objection to outside meetings , especially on Sundays ; and in the afternoon we crammed the

      place with as many as could get in } no . occupying any space with Beats , but making jail Bland . It was a rejfular hot-bath . I was glad to make a pause about the middle of my sermon , and throw off my coat and handkerchief , and unbntton my waistcoat , that tho sweat might hate free course to run down . At night I could not stand it . The " lads * were obliged to turn out , and I spoke from the -window . On Monday evening , I addressed them on Organization , and Diner matters . Tiey are splendid fellows as Longhborough ; bnt a little fiery ; and no wonder , when one looks at their wretched poverty , ;

      From Longhborough I went on Tuesday to Derby . Here the Theatre had been taken . It was just ; at the dose of the great Agricultural Meeting and Show ; when the town had been like a country fetr for the wiole week—all the Btreete filled witk booths of showmen and publicans , and all theingenuny of ** civilized mai . " resorted to , to M glean up the pence . " Such a time was , of coarse , a bad one tcr a meeting ; many had not the means ; of paying the small sum which the fr . ends charged to

      drar expences . Bnt we had a _ good meeting notwithstanding : the g&Jlery well filled , but riot crowded with honest workies" ; while the pit contained a great number of middle class men ** mixed amonif " , of whom there were also a sprinkling in theboxe > . The ? tad ad ^ ezascd me to lecture on the Accordance of Chartism with Cnrau&nivy . The Subject seemed to excite much auentrau ; lhe audience was most attentive ; and the Ineixis eay that tit lecture h& 3 done our cause much good in removing prejudice .

      Oa Wednesday , I went to Nottingham ; here to the great credit of the authorities , the people were allowed without difficulty the use of their own splendid hall , the Exchange Room . I waa never in & much imer room , and never Eaw a room better wedged with Iranian beings . I question if another could have been crammed in any huw . How many went away 1 know not . Many middle class men wtrt present . 1 spoke ai great length , nearly three honrs . Eos a , man flinched ; ali were apparently as much interested at the close as at the beginning 1 -was to be at Arnold the next night . Several Arnold friends were present , and I requested thai thf y might have the same preachment . This becoming known a great many of the Kottirgham *' ladfi " evinced their liking © 1 it by going next evening lour miles on foot to hear it over again .

      , We had a most comfortable Tea Party at the Grey Bound Inn ; afttr which 1 edified the ** lads /' jn the Ranter ' s Chapel , which lhe trustees had kindly lent them for the purpose . 1 had an excelled conjaegalion , and preached a sermon as Ions * s that oflhe night before . I met with one thing at Arnold that pleased me to lhe very soul : a sure evidence that daylight jb dawning in upon ** the wurfcies . " The « cfe club hav «< lrawa out their money from the savings' Bank

      and the Rag shops , and invested it in lana . Whole fields have been purchased and divided into Email garden plots asnou ^ their members , lor which a light rental iB paid to the dub . The advantages , of this , to the instituiions , are many . Their funds are secure The bask will sot ekeab ; THtIK MONEY WILL HE U » £ i > ALWAYS Full THEIR B £ NJLFIT AHI ) KOT FOR THEIR OPPRESSION ; their iunds pay bet « r interest than before ; while they derive mdivicuaJiy a great advantage from this application of them . Thus

      are they better able to pay their contributions than they wonld be if the money were banked with Government for their oppression , as beforo ; ana this " banking" of it in mother earth , by the additional interest ^ it ' pays , gives a drawback to each member of some pouiid a year already , which will i of coarse , increase as their funds accniifcl * te and they acquire more land . This is glorionPFa beginning of good things 1 01 it did my heart good to walkover those gardens and to see the savings of the poor man thus : sensibly disposed of . All honour to the Arnold sick clubs ! Let all clubs follow their example . ,

      Oa Friday , I made my way to Sutton-in-Ash field . The day fixed fir this town was the worat . that could have been fixed . The whole year mighthave beengone over for the selection * and I could not have hit upon another day on whioh it was so unlikely to get up a meeting . On Friday evening the poor stockingers are always ** hard up ! f' finishing their week ' s work , which must be in on ! Saturday morning ; working very late ; and having neither an hour nor a pepny to spare for anything . This was Friday evening and it was the Friday evening before the "feast . '' The ladB were sadly > off" at my coming on this evening ; they would fain have had some other ; bui it could not be .- We cannot always command cironmstances : some place must have that identical

      evening , and it fell to the Sutton men ' s share . They made the best of it ; and we had a good meeting . Chapels , school-rooms , and publio buildings of all sorts were as usual ; closed against us , and there would have been no alternative but open air speaking , bad not a player-showman had more Christian feeling in him than all the parsons . He had erected a large pavilion for his exhibition during the feast week ; and with great cheerfulness gave the : friends the use of it for my preachment ; and bad a night as it was we had it well filled . I had much pleasure inhere meeting the Rev . Mr . Linwood , Unitarian Minister , of Mansfield , about three miles from Sutton ; a talented aad most gentlemanly man , who 1 learn has , during his the of

      residence in Mansfield ^ deserved thanks all good men by an unflinching assertion of the rights of the poor . Mr . Linwood ' s pulpit and chapel are what pulpits and chapels ought to be ; the media of expression for God's law—the law of right ; and he sets the praiseworthy example to his order of denouncing class legislation as a moral wrong and as anti-Christian and unscriptural . The friends had requested Mr . Linwood to take the chaif , and he at . once assented . I speechified for more than two hours , and at ths close , proposed a vote of thanks to the kind player for the use of his pavilion , in doing which 1 paid some well-merited compliments to the pious gentlemen in black , who had refused us their chapels . Mr . Linwood left the

      ohair for the purpose of seconding my resolution ; and though 1 thought I had tolerably lashed the hypocrites , my scourging was a whip of small cords to which he added scorpions . 1 afterwards learned that some of them was there . 1 hope the admonition they received will profit them . The Belper men had followed me to Derky , and I could not get over tHeir importunities . ViBitthem again on Sunday I must ; and so I had nothing for it but to take liberties were I can . My own dear Hull people were left in the lurch , as they have often been , while 1 went abroad . I knew they would not say astray . " They love me too well to prevent my doing all the good 1 can ; and as there seemed to be some prospect of good at Belper , I went there instead of to Hull . I preached twice in the lodge room at the Leopard Inn , and left the people , having received from them a promise that they would meet on Monday nigbt and reorganise for the renewal

      of their struggle in the holy war . Monday evening I addressed the men of Sheffield ; found them as usual , firm , earnest , ardent , iand determined . There is no nonsense about Sheffield . They ara men of the right sort . The Town Hall had been refused us , and the "lads" were compelled to put me into their own room , in Fig Tree-lane . They have had it tastefully beautified since I was there . It is now a very handsome room ; but rather wanting in size . However they made a hot bath of it and I was glad to strip again . Many ; too , especially females , finding the heat overponring were compelled to " get out " before I had done , whioh was not till sear eleven o ' clock . I was in ill health , and once or twice obliged , from sheer exhaustion , to sit down abruptly and take a few moments to regain strength and compose the throbbing of my poor head which was almost splitting . However Irwent through my work , and the people bore with me and thanked me

      I have now had a day or two ' s rest , aud shall have another or two before shaking the warm hands of my Scotch friends , with whom I hope to be next week . To prevent all disappointment , let me here state the places in Scotland to which I am invited , and at which | D . V . ) \ I purpose speaking—Leith , Edinburgh , Aberdeen , Montrose , Arbroath , Dundee , Glasgow , Paisley , Greenock , Hamilton and Campsie . Of these the five lie in a sort of cluster ; while the six former are mostly wide , of these and of each other I am desirous to economise my travelling expences as I think every man should be who travels at the people ' s cost ; and I have therefore laid out my routes in "lines" as much as may be . I suppose I shall reach Leith on Thursday sometime , from then to Monday night I give myself to Leith and Edinburgh ; Tuesday I take steam ship for Aberdeen ; Wednesday 1 attend the festival at Aberdeen ; Thursday I

      preach there ; Friday I take steam boat to Montrose , and give them Friday evening ; thence on Saturday to Arbroatb where 1 speechify at sight ; and take the rail on Sunday morning for Dundee , so as to preach twice , if need be , to my Dundee friends on Sunday . I stay Monday over , and speak on Monday evening in Dundee , or any place in that neighbourhood , in which my services may he required . I take steam-ship on Tuesday for Edinburgh , and thence go by rail to Glasgow ; bo that on Wednesday , the 16 th , if all be well , I shall be ready to address my Glasgow friends ; on Thursday , the 17 tfl , Hamilton ; on Friday , the 18 th , Campsie ; Saturday and Sunday , I shall spend in Glasgow . Tuesday , the 22 ad , I give to Paisley Wednesday , the 23 rd , to Greenock ; whence I return by water to Carlisle ; thence to Newcastle ; Sunderland , and Shields ; and ; so , home .

      Thus , I shall not be idle in my recreation . Indeed , 1 cannot be idle . - I live to work , and must do so while I can . I have great hope that this " out" mil recruit me ; and strengthen , though not restore , my physical energies . I shall keep writing for you , more or less , as I can , during the whole time . I shall not be satisfied with mere speaking as I go along ; but tryialso to write something in the way of continuing that counsel 1 have so long held with you . ; One word as to the 'Delegate Meeting : I think September quite as soon as you can have a National Delegate Meeting to do any good . My heart and soul are wrapped up in this re-Organization ; and I implore you not to hurry it . Do not again damage your cause as yon have often done before , by inconsiderate haste . Take time ; take time ; things done in haste are seldom done well ; and this is a thing of such consequence , that 'twere better left undone than done ilL

On Thursday , the 36 th of March , prosecutor retired to - rest about ten o ' clock , leaving his housekeeper up ; b , ut had previously made all the windows and doors secure . She went to bed about twelve o'clock . ; ^ Prosecutor had been in bed above two hours , when he was disturbed by hearing a loud noise , and perceived a flxsh of light in front of the house . He soon after heard some one attempting to break tho front door open , and taking a gun in his hand , proceeded down stairs to the door , and called out , " What So yoH want here ; " and a person replied , ** What do you mean by that . " Directly

      after the door was burst open , and six or seven men rushed into the house . Three of them seized prosecutor by the throat , and then threw him down on the floor , and held him . The housekeeper was laid hold of by other two of the party and threatened if she made any noise they would murder her . The remainder of the party then went up stairs into the prosecutor ' s bed-room , in whioh was a large oak chest . It waa fastened with a chain and locks , and contained property to the amount jof £ 1 , 100 . The lid was forced open and the money taken out . The men then came" down Btairsand said to the others " all is right . ' ; They then all left ! the house , and after prosecutor recovered his consciousness he went to the house of a neighbour and stated to him what had happened ; Prosecutor afterwards returned home , aocoiapahied by his neighbour , and they went upstairs to make an examination , and discovered that the oak chest had been broken open , and all the money it contained had been taken away .

      Nanny Iredale , the prosecutor's housekeeper , was called and deposed to the above facts . John Crabtree , who was one of the party of burglars , was admitted as witness against the prisoners . His evidence being the most material , we give it fully :-4 John Crabtree deposed—lam a grinder , and live in Huddersfield . I was lodging at John Taylor ' s beer-house . The prisoner , Martin , came to Taylor ' s on the Monday { previous to the robbery , and asked if "Grinder" was in . 1 s * id " yes ; " and he then wishf d mo to go to the door . I did so ; and he said Robinson , Meek , Andrew Atkinson ^ and Robert Field wanted me at the top of the yard . I went with him , and when we got to them , Meek asked me if I would go with them to-night , and I said ,

      what to do 1 Field said to go and rob a house , and there would be a great deal of " brass" in it . I asked him where it was , and he replied that it did not matter where it ' was ; they would go with me to it . I told them tbatil should notgp that night . I was then asked what night I would go , and I replied any but that . On the night of the robbery , I saw Meek , Field , and Martin , at the Wharf Inn corner , and they again asked me if I would go With them . I said , well , I will go . Field gave me a bar of iron , and after having gone in different directions we met at the Lane-bridge . Spencer , Wilkinson , and a person' named i Anderson , were also there . We all went over the ' out bridge ; " and after proceeding up a lane , and { crossing some fields until we oamo

      to within a short distance of the prosecutor ' s house , Meek then pulled a match out of his waistcoat pocket , and lighted a dark lantern . When we got on the road , Mbek and Anderson had a quarrel . We were then ; only about fifty y ^ rds from Mr . Steel ' s house . Wilkinson , Jackson , and I , then went on and said , we would have nothing to do with them . They then asked ins were we were going to , and , one of them eaid , " Come and do it ; it was no use leaving it . Never mind these winds . " We then went up to Steele ' 8 door . After examining it , I said it was both locked and barred . The : door was then tried . Steelfc , who waa inside , near the door , said " What do you want ; ' and Field replied , " We want alight . " Directly after we broke tho door open ,

      and rushed into the house . Wilkinson got hold ol the gun ; and Field and Jackson seized the prosecutor by the throat , and threwbini down on the Hoor . I got hold of the housekeeper , and threw her also down . The others then went up stairs , with the exception of Martin , who was outside the door . The men went up stairs but a short time , when they came down ; Meek had a bag across his shoulder , and the other two had a quantity of money in their hats . One of them said , " Come lads , all ' s right . " We all left the blouse , and as we were crossing the field ? , Wilkinson said to Jackson , " What the d 1 has thou ! brought that gun for ; fling it away ; that will do us no good . " Jackson then threw tho gun away . We continued on our way

      until we came to'the cut side , and I then wished to know where the *' braes" was to be shared ; upon whioh Wilkinsonl said , "We will p ^ o to the Three-Foot-Cabin : there will be a fire , and no one will disturb ua . " We proceeded to the " cabin , " and there was eitherja woman or a man in . We proceeded on the Halifax road for about half a mile , when we went into a field ; there was ashed in it . We went into it , ( and a lamp being lighted we all knelt down , and the money wa 3 turned out of the bags on to the floor . Jackson continued to give U 3 five sovereigns each , until they were all divided . The spade guineas were given to U 3 . in the Same manner ; and he then commenced the distribution of silver by giving ua a pound at a time . I got thirty *

      two guineas and a half in gold . Jackson said he was tired of counting the money , and said , " Let us measure , the Isilver in this thing , " ( meaning a small drawer which had been taken from the proseoutor ' s ) . This was done . Before going away , Jackson said it was no use keeping the drawer ; he would throw it away , and then threw it into a small plantation . It was silver they measured in the drawer . I did toot eee any notes ; but I heard Wilkinson asking about some , and he received no answer . We then J eft the place where we had divided the money , and met on the road . We parted , some going in one direction and some in another .

      Beforo 1 went home , I " planted" my share of the property iu a field . I went to the place on the Monday , and took out the guineas and £ o in 8 'lyor , aBd I did not work all that week . I spent nearly £ 4 of it . On the Sunday following 1 went again to the place , and # ot 36 covtroigns and about nice or tea pounds in silver , i know John Hirst .

They liave made up their minds to abandon ; the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill , the Factories Bill , aud tho Law Courts ( Ireland ) Bill , and every other measure to which any determined opposition may be offered . But they are still desirous of carrying the County Courts Bill , with which are connected two other measures of law reform , the Small Debts Bill , and the Superior Courts' Common-law ] Bill . On these he will state the decision of the Government on a future day , as the hope of carrying them depends on the progress of other business .
