      UUSSELIi AND THE ORDINARY LAW . Inoar 8 tbpa ^ e will be f und an article from the Homing Chronicle *> f Moudaj last , a kind of justiSoatien for Lord Jons Russell's tiaiciy opposition to the IriV . i Coercion Bill . It is invariably the practice with journalist ? to imrYj their party of all delinquencies upon the eve of ifes accession to power . We find uo fault with Russell's opposition to IriBu Coercion , wliile we must « miV . « s onr difficulty at finding any tabstantial reason for Rgsseu ' s opposition to the present measure . 3 n 1833 the Itha people were roused to madness bv the extensive promises of good

      held oat by the Whig * in the event ; of their restoration to power . Wiiiie England was in a state bordering upon revolution , it was not astonishing that Ireland , more susceptible oi' this flames of agitation , which promised so many i > ene 8 fcj to an enslaved pecple , should have participated in the national rejoicing , nor vra . f it vnmticrfui that these slaves whose ri ^ ta the Whigs promised to loosen , should have evinced a charaeteri .-iie enthusiasm amounting to temporal ? insanity , but it was wonderful that tha first act of the favow . i sorcnimcnt should liave been ihe most bass .-, b '« ody . and brutal act , that etor deformed the Statute Bn » k .

      NARY LAW is allowed to pass current , as the nsual practice . However , we shall test the two powers . We , amongst others , denounced the Irish Coercion BUI , and denunciation and watchfulness , public jealousy , and the power to appeal , rendered it a dead letter upon the statute book ; while , as we shall show , the Whigs not only strained the ORDINARY LAW . but uted threats and intimidation

      unprecedented , and contrary to all law . When the Chartists met , and merely expressed their disapproval of Whigtreachery , their prop and mainstay volunteered to send over FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND FIGHTING IRISHMEN , to annihilate the rascally Chartists . Two Chartists went to Dublin to propound the meek , the pure , and holy principles of Chartism , and their lives were assailed by the Janissaries of ihe liberty-loving Liberator .

      In 1 S 39 , Mr . Justice Littlcdale , in charging thtj Grand Jury of Warwickshire , composed of landlords , designated the Chartists as a body who sought to possess themselves of the laud of the country , and gave Loyett and Collins in charge to the petty jury , with the same brand of ORDINARY LAW upon them . Mr . O'Connor was twice tried in 1839 for libel , and in each case was proceeded against by ex oj / Kio information , aud was tried by Special Juries selected by the Crown . In 1889 , following up the policy of O'Connell , Lord Johu Russell armed tho Volunteer Corps , thirsting for the blood of the Chartists , and under that odious designation set every man with a particle of property agaiast those who struggled for the rights of their order . In the same

      year the Staffordshire magistrates finding . it impossible to contend against the growing spirit of Chartism , and having discovered that the ORDINARY LAW was powerless against the national mind , they consulted tho prime minister , { Lord Melbourne ) and what wa * the Whig premier ' s adrice ? Didht say VRely upon the ORDINARYLAW ? No Ms answer , his memorable Whig answer was , ' RUIN THEM WITH EXPENCES . ' Was this in conformity with the ORDINARY LAW ? or was it in compliance witu the ORDINARY LAW that the Whig government , by their own . confession , sent a train of spies to follow Mr . O'Connor through Scotland to watch , to fabricate , and report and to transmit an account of the STATE OF THE

      HARVEST . Was it in compliance with the ORDINARY LAW that Peddib was offered £ 500 a year and his liberty , to put the rope round FEARGUS O'CONNOR'S NECK ? Was it in compliance with the ORDINARY LAW that Harrison , the horse stealcr , the coiner , and thief , received £ 70 from Government to swear against Pkdihe , IloLDERitT , and Clayton ? Was it in compliance with the ORDINARY LAW that Mr . O'Connor sfcoufd pay £ 105 traverse fees out of his oun pocket betbrethe Chartists of Liverpool would be allowed the poor privilege of trial ? Was it affcordingio the ORDINARY LAW that working men should pine for sis months in prison in default of

      finding bail to the amount of £ 1000 ? Was it in compliance with the ORDINARY LAW that working men should oe confined with felons , murderer * , and robbers , ior merely listening to what privileg « considers seditious speeches ? Was it according tn ORDINARY LAW that their hairshould be cropped , that they , shoul-l be in solitary confinement , and put to hard labour for two , three , four , or five years ? Was it aucorain to ORDINARY LAW thai , in defiance of professional representations , working meti should be allowed to die in prison ? Was it according to the ORDINARY LA . W that juries were packed , judges selected , spies hired , and witnesses bribed to persecute and hunt down the English Chartists ?

      Was it according to the ordinary law that the DORCHESTER LABOURERS WERE TRANSPORTED ? And was it according to the same ORDINARY LAW that tha Glasgow Cotton Spinners were sentenced t . o transportation ? Was it according to the same ORDINARY LAW that Frost , Williams , and Janes were transported without trial , and that Toai Phillipps was knighted for— hi . > breech < a . Iu short , was it aramling to tho ordinary

      law that " tlie base , brutal , aud Woody Whi « 3 " perverted ail law , violated all decency and custom , t » overthrow a political party whose enthusiasm was raised to madness by Whig perfidy and treachery ? There is an apparent mildness , buta positive ferocity in the stniiaing of the ^ ORDlNARY LAW , unknown io unconstitutional measures . In tbe one case , there is sympathy for those who have suffered , in the other , there is no compassion for those who lure had a FA 111 TRIAL .

      Such is the black catalogue of Whig ORDINARY LAW , and yet vre hail the restoration of tho puppets to power . From a statesman like Peel , and with the representative system like ourS . the Country has nothiog to expect but a fair adjustment and balancing of commercial interests with the ministerial II OPE . that the working classes MAY derive some benefit from the change , while ihe Whigs' can no longer hold power except upon popular sufferance . We now want a ministry so weak , that we can say DO THIS or TAKE THAT , ( tiie walking paper ) . We do not desire to sec a strong minister ' s hands

      strengthened ' or seven years longer . We do not ¦ want a despotic master , we want a PLAYTHING . Rusiell knnwg that his only chanco of preserving po * er is through a more liberal constituency . Wiknow that the difference between Whigs and Tories is just ibis , that , whereas the Whig constituencies arc ton liberal for their representatives , tlie Tory representatives are too luieial for their constftueiicies . With Peei . it is onward for peace , commercial prosperity , and miildle class support ; with Russell it is patronage , by any means lie can procure it .

      However tins struggle may end , which has now f airly commenced , the Chartist party ] must 80 put their house in order as to bid defiance to coercion , and steer clear of the ORDINARY LAW . To struggle for such a -representation of labour as can hold the balance of power between contending factions , aad snap administration after administration , until th « people shall find themselves fully , freely , and fairly represented in the llouso of Commons , and then they mav bid defiance to COERCION and WHIG ORDINARY LAW .

      of party ; aud when something more than "LIVE HORSE AND YOU'LL GET GRASS" must be labour ' s share of a struggle in which the . strongest Ministry that ever held power in the country has been wrecked . There was a time when the mere transfer of power from the hands of the conquered to the conqueror would have been participated in as a national triumph , but that day ia past and gone . And so far from the quiet indifference with which the working classes received the great changes now being made , marking their increased loyalty or confirmed submission to power , it but proves the severanoe of all reliance on , the abandonment of all hope in , tke present system of representation .

      After a storm comes a calm ,- and , as we have before shown , it was not the interest of any party in the state to have broken that long and dreary calm which is about to give way to a dreadful storm . The snapping asunder of governments is the life of democracy the quick step of progression . If the movement party accomplishes no single one of its purposes , it nevertheless strengthens itself by the multiplication of its adherents , and increases its strength for the day of general action . Nothing but the bold policy of Sir Robert Peel could have kept the bubbling mind of tfcis country so leng in abeyance . If the Whigs had been in power during the last few years , and , as has been their invariable

      practice , had retained power by pandering to the prejudices of the Enslish middle clashes , and by bestowing patronage upon the most sub sevvient , the most truculent , and venal faction of Irish place-hunters , the future might have been an easy period for their successors . But the bold and gigantic measures of a great statesman , not less tban the bald and startling truths spokenby labour's advocates in the House of Commons , has opened a new path , and interposed new obstacles in the way of all future governments , For instance , we much doubt that the old syatem of keeping the Whigs in with no better object than * o " keep the Tories out" would now satisfy" what are called the liberal constituencies .

      There is something to bo done next ¦ which neither Whigs nor Tories have , as yet , dreamt of , but upon which the industrious portion of society has made up its mind ! The questions of representation , of production , and of distribution , however they may have slept under the'riianfcle of the free trade measures , and however the occult science of political economy may have smothered truth and perverted argument for a season—yet will those hobgoblins of Whiggery and monopoly once more awake , and present greater ob

      stacles in the way of Sir Robert Pbkl ' s snccesfo than even the Trish Church , with all its cumbrous and growing difficulties . While we write , Sir Robkrt Peel is still Prime Minister of Enyland , with a party large enough to sustain him in power so long as he undertakes the responsibility of smoothing the way of his opponents to office . But before the Star Bhall have reached its destination , and when Sir Robert Pkkl ' s greatest triumph shall have been achieved , the long calm will have passed away , and the storm will have commenced .

      The Che 3 ham House coalition gives painful earnest of Lord Jons Russell's future policy . Having , for a long period , retained . office by permitting Mr . O ' uosnell to distribute Irish patronage , he vainly hoppsto try his hand once more at the same game . O'Connell is again ready to SINK REPEAL for a veal union , the meaning of which is , the restoration of Irish patronage ; but we are glad to find that a new Irish difficulty has sprung up , and that the " Young Ireland" party FOR THE PRESENT , more wedded to principle than to patronage , have registered a damaging vow in favour of a process by which they ultimately hope to have a share of the loaves and fishes . Ireland , it is true , can never expect a redress of grievances except by a

      thorough union of her sons , but that union must be formed upon the principle of progression ; and out of the sparring of faction we hope to see it accomplished . That O'Consell , at his time of life , will look for ease in patronage , throwing much of the responsibility upon those' who bestow it , no one can doubt . And that those who have so long lived in idleness upon his policy , will still rely upon him as ? . salesman , is equally certain . BUT , NEVERTHELESS , HIS DAYS ARE NUMBERED , his power is shaken , his throne is tottering , his influence for mere Whig purposes is gone , and those who have caused the rupture must look to other than mere local appliances to sustain them in so unequal a Ktruggle .

      A majority of the Roman Catholic priesthood of the higher order of clergy wiil range themselves upon the side of the Liberator and . case ; bi . t tho young priesthood , sprung from Irish farmers , whose families hnve tasted the bitter gall of oppression and religious inferiority , will flock to the standard of Young Ireland nmi mtiowlii } , As yet THEY have no hope of patronage . No expectation of possessing other power than that which is derived from : i fiery , enthusiastic , credulous , and confiding people . Many of the Young Ireland orators are related to Roman Catholic clergymen , and to our

      knowledge many of the young clergy have been with difficulty restrained in . subjection to the O'Connell policy , by the austere discipline of their superiors : a discipline , however , which is being daily relaxed , a discipline from which a large majority would be gladly released . This young party , when the struggle commences , will be compelled to look elsowliero fova ' ul to sustain them iu the contest , and if they are sincere of purpose , they will find tbat aid in co-operation with the IMPERIAL CHARTISTS , and from them alone .

      an 1 Stasibt , successively , tr ed to , throw the shield of protection over native industry . They fought for the hop grower , the paper atainer , the lace weaver , the shoemaker , and the silk weaver , but in vain . The resistless . torrent of Free Trade swept everything before it , and on > Tuesday night the Customs' Bill was declared to have passed the ordeal et the Com . mitteeunscathed ; was reported , andorderedalsoto be read a third time and passed , on Thursday evening .

      We confess , that we think the case made out m favour of a luiher protecting duty being retained in the several trades we have mentioned , was Very strong . Laoe , for instance , is a luxury which need only be indulged in by those who can wall afford it . If the present rates on the importation of foreign lace have the effect of giving more encouragement to the native ' manufacture , why should the home market be depreciated simply that fine ladies may have French lace borders to their caps a little cheaper ? The effect on the paper-stainers of a reduction in the existing duties has been already shown in the Star . Bpfore the reduced duties have had time to take

      effect , the masters , by anticipation , have reduced the wages of the journeymen from Is . 4 d . to Is . 3 d . of their present earnings . In the shoe trade , increased competition with the cheap and showy goods of France , must lead to decreased wages ; and , above all , | the silk trade constitutes , as we said , at the time the question was before the Commons , so clear a case for exemption , that we do not wonder the weavers employed in the trade , proposed to make it a special one for examination at the 'Birof their Lordships House , and instructed counsel to appear for them there , if permts ion could be obtained .

      The Duke of Richmond , however , to whom their petition was entrusted , failed to secure the boon they sought , though it was only denied by the use of proxies in a most unusual and unjustifiable manner . We have , however , virtually arrived at the end of the session . Its one great taBk is done , and , stvange to say . all the rumours among political circles , tend also to establish the almost certainty , that with the termination of their successful struggle for Commercial Reform , will also terminate the power-of the present Ministry . Siv Robert Peel falls at the moment of victory ! It is confidently asserted , that

      triumph in the Lords on Thursday night is to be followed closely up by ' defeat in the Commons on Friday night , on the Coercion Bill . The son of the cotton spinner has beaten the old aristocracy , and cotton spinners and merchants , clutching at tho benefits of his labours , nre ! content to let the combined Whig and Tory aristocracy oust Mm from office , and wreak that vengennce personally which they cannot gratify in any other way . This may be political , but it is by no means , to oar thinking , moral justice ; nor is it likely to hold but encouragement to

      other Premiers , to outstep , in future , the narrow boundaries of party . If they look toifcatall , itwill be as a warning , not to leave the safe and beaten track of partizanship , forthe broadbutmore periliouspath of national reforms , and . national support . Instead of pursuing with free and firm step , the read that leads to general improvement , they will more likely , with this example before them , bend to the miserable necessities of their position , and more crippled by the bandages and swaddling clothes of party policy ' .

      Btit though this is the most obvious tendency of the resignation of Sir Robert Peel , at the very moment when months of anxious labour , of the endurance of fierce invective and unmeasured vituperation from former friends , and of ill-timed taunts from old political rivals , have been crowned with success ; we are not without hope that its deeper moral will prevail . . We ; cannot believe that the almost unexampled manner in which . Peel abandoned old and cherished opinions , and old personal friendships , to obey what

      he considered the voice of a great majority of the peoplfc , and to make concessions to what he believed a great public necessity , will be forgotten by the people , when the passions , excited by the struggle , have passed away . It is the interest of the masses that tho Minister of the day should bo as little as possible hampered by the trammels of party connection ; land it was precisely because , from the beginning , ! we saw the strong tendency of the course pursued by Pebl to bre k up the oligarchical system of government which has so Jong prevailed in this country , that we gave it our hearty support .

      Another reason 'why the Peei < policy of 1846 should be held up for example is , that it laid down , for the first time in official life , the great truth , that ; adherence " to old opinions is not a virtue , but a vice ; that consistency is a child's virtue ; and that manhood ' s highest ; character iS 2 > rogress . Why should the man of forty be bound by the crude and unnatural opinions of fifteen ? Are we never to learn ? Are we to sliui our eyes and 6 Ur GM'S—01 \

      TERMINATION OF THE MASONS'STRIKE . — THE OPERATIVES VICTORIOUS . This protracted struggle has at length ceased , both in Liverpool and Birkenhend . Mr . Tomkinson , the master mason , a » d well-known contractor for tha Assize Courts and St . George ' s-liall , has consented to meet the terms of the workmen , by yielding the 27 a . per week and half an hour refreshment time each afternoon .

      FEMALE ASSOCIATION . At a time like the present , when ministers of state announce as a great principle of legislation , " the necessity ot promoting the well-being of ( hose who labour , " it seems to be peculiarly appropriate to adopt measures to secure to producers a fair share of the profits of their industry . For this purpase , a few persons who feel a lively interest in the weltare of the down-trodden and oppressed masses , have united to form an associatien for the employment of

      Needlewomen in the manufacture of Shirts and under-clothing—these persons being among the most forlorn oi our fellow-creatures . In pursuance of this object , rooms have recently been taken in the neighbour * hood of Bloomsbury ; and from the experience & 1 ready gained , it is certain that extensive benefit would result if it were carried out on a large scale . With this impression , the orignators have been induced to bring-the object of their solicitude icto publie notice , and tti state the principles on which they havo determined to act .

      THE MANCHESTER BUILDERS' STRIKE . The National Association for the Protection OP Industry having for one of its principle objects the effecting of amicable settlements of disputes between employers and the employed , by means of mediation and arbitration , the Central Committee hare beeu endeavouriug , during the past week , to bring about a reconciliation between the master and operative builders of Alanchester . Hitherto , it seems , the Na « tional Association bad no connexion with the

      longpending strike of the building trades ; but tlie latter haying recently applied to the former for pecuniary assistance , the Central Committee considered it their duty to attempt a mediation between the contending parties . With this object the Committee deputed two of its members ( Messrs . Robson and Bush ) to yiBit Manchester , and authorised them to settle terms , if possible , with the master builders . Upon arriving in Manchester the deputation addressed the subjoined note to the Secretary of the Master Builders' As » sociation : —

      Railway Inn , Deansgate , Juno 16 , 1816 . Sir , —Messrs . Rob « onand Bush , a deputation from tho Central Committee of the United Trades Association for tho Protection of Industry / respectfully desira an inter , view with the Committee of your Association , with tho view of effecting , if possible , an amicable settlement of the existing unfortunate Uifierences between the master builders of Mauchescer anu their workmen . T . ii . Rogersou , Esq ., S « c , &c . In answer to this application the Master Builders ' Association adopted a resolution to the effect—That the Masters do not recognise any National Association , and consider their own workmen are the oulr parties with whom they should hold any communication .

      This resolution having been communicated to the Deputation , they determined upon making another attempt at reconciliation—the more particularly as the workmen themselves expressly desired them to act the part of " radiators aadarbitratora" otttlieu behalt ,

      PARLIAMENTARY HE VIEW , We are hurrying to the closo of one of the most eventful and exciting sessions of modern times . It will be distinguished for having engrafted the axioms of a new syatem of political ecopomy on tho stock of an old monarchy , and ^ perfected a bloodless revolution in the commercial policy of the greatest trading nation in the world . Since our last " review " the peers have been almost exclusively occupied with tho Corn and Customs Bills . A final stand was made on the former

      on Monday night , when Lord Ash but'ton proposed a resolution condemnatory of the immense stores of corn now in bond" being allowed to be poured into the market under the reduced prices of the new scale , and that too at the time when the English farmer is preparing for his harvest , and will in consequence bo compelled to send to market and pay old rents out of new prices . The misgivings of his Lordship as to the effect of this upon the homo growers were natural , but , unfortunatel y , ho did not suggest any practical mode of obviating the injury which they might receive , and tbe government

      did not feel it to bs their province to do so . Lord Diilhousic , however , endeavoured to allay his brother peer ' s alarm at the prospect of "letting in an enormous quantity of grain without any precaution at all , " by assuring him" "that solar ii-oiu expecting an increase from foreign countries , tlie prospects of the forthcoming harvest indicated a very dial-rent result . Nature appeared to bo setting her elements in conspiracy against them . If they would refer to the history of Europe for the past year , they would find that in the north there had been a deficiency on account of wet , while in tho south a

      similar calamity had occurred on account of drought . " Tiiis assurance pacified some of the " n ! in-contcnts , " and tho resolution was negatived by a majority of 23 . TJiat was the last fight and tha last division agaiust the Corn Bill . ' Lord Stanley announced on * ho part of tho Protectionists tliat they would content themselves on its third reading on Thursday ( this evening ) by simply entering their protest agiir . st it . lw fate ihcieforo is certain . Protests do not arrest the progress of successful m . ( - ! i 3 i : r (> 'i .

      Act , act , in the Iinng present ; Heart within , and God o ' erhcad . Science and machinery , and the press , are daily multiplying new facilities for attaining a higher scale of political and social existence than has heretofore been achieved by man . It is only by the people and their rulers working together in good fait !) progressively , that those facilities can be turned to their proper uso . To that use they must bs turned , or , instead of being beneficent genii , working for all and blessing all , they will realize the fiction of Frankenstein , and become monsters incessantly huntfcg , and devouring their creator * . .

      We must not pass over without notice the magnificent defence of 1 ' f . v . l , on last Friday week , in reply to tho personal charges alleged against him by Bkntikor and D'Israeli , aa to his treatment of Canning with referenca to the Catholic Emancipation Bill . Though urged by the one with all the force a » d bitterness of a relative of Canning , and n deadly political foe . and enforced bythe other in a speechevincing at once his well known ability and cnvoaomud hatred of Pjsel , tho minister succeeded in turning

      what was meant to be a most cruslune attack intu an occasion for a grand triumph . Those whose accusation it was , that 20 vears ago Peel " hunted Canning to death , " were foiled in their barefaced attempt to do the very thing they charged against him . . Tho stag stooclat bay , and nobly tossed his assailants into political obscurity . Lord George must learn discretion in his language , and D'Isi-aeli candour in his statement of facts , ere they again VKiiture to appear in tho arena .

      The other proceedings in the Commons have been of a common place character , hut the safe passage of the twin measures through the Lords to night will change tho scene of battle . Whatever interest attaches to the remnant of the session , be it short or long , will after that be principally confined to tho " lower house . " Next weelr , however , we may in all probability , have to announce that a new ministry is formed . That Lord John Russell has succeeded Sir Robert Peel . ' Oh what a fall will be then , my Countrymen !"

      TIIE CHANGE . In the midst of a comparatively settled state of tiiinga , when Jmnibled labour is satisfied with its humble fare , or prefers it to the degrading stiguia of pauperism in a workhouse , it was not easy to con-» incc tlie labouring classes that any event , however unforeseen , unexpected or sudden , could proxiraately or remotely afiact their condition . They were led , if not to expect ail they desired , at least to

      anticipate s : iineimprovement from the measures of Sir Robert Peel , ia ihe discussion of whiuh their several advocates were compelled to base appri .-val upon the advaniaees which labcmr w .-is sure to demo from them . In a country like Eo ^ -iand , where the bkdgeon , the justice ' s fiat , or the terror of the law goes far to arrest tise exprcssioa of popular feeling , it is no Jiglit . triampii to enforce even an affected ennsi . deration for the condition of the working classes from their superiors . We are , however , upon tlie eve of that time when reaHlv must follow tlie metaphor
