Upwards of 60 , 000 panne d refugees , driven back into Poland by Prus-^ ja and Austrian bayonets , were exiled to Siberia , { ortei Mo the armies of the Caucasus to fight jjgjnst the Circassians ; condemned to slavery in jjjjnes and fortresses , or—as was the case with some thousan d—shot , flogged to death , hung , or poisoned . With these barbarities there was accompanied the jeHish atrocities perpetrated upon hundreds of tfomen , followed by the stealing , transportation , nd murder of little children , to the number of

      some thousands . Then followed the religions persecutions , \ rith other abominations which we have sat space to catalogue , nor patience to write of , for onr veins run fire at the recollection of these atrocities . Here is a list of martyrs , who are merely the few—the mighty master-spirits who represent the thousands of victims whose names sleep with them , in that repose " where the wicked cease from troubling , and the weary are at rest : "—

      WEEKLY REVIEW . The week presents few points for notice or comment . As usual , Ireland excites the greatest anxiety and interest ; and , nnfortunatrly , the comparative kill in its troubled condition , which has been observable for the last few weeks , is again disturbed . The approaching completion , in many instances , of the public works voted at the baronial sessions , and the consequent cessation of work and wages , is

      renewing the disturbances in various quarters , and the prospects for the future are most gloomy . There never will , there never can be , any remedy for this state of things , until we have a legislature and government wise enough and bold enough to attack the evil at its root , and destroy the monopoly in land . Until then , Ireland will prove the rock on which every : successive administration that may he formed will founder , no matter of what party it is composed .

      The split between " Old" and "Young ' ' Ireland widens daily ; W . S . O'Brien and the Natioii are throwing off the reserve and respect with which they so far treated O'Connell . The sword is drawn , in a snort time the scabbard , will he thrown away tod the encounter become deadly . It does not require the gift of prophecy to say who will be conquerors . O'Connell has deserted the Irish nation , and it will in turn , and most justly , desert ^ "ni . At the present he is all but forsaken ; the panics who snrround Mm are , with very few ^ ceptions , and these of little influence , mere

      placehunters , vermin > ho have lived upon the popular tt ° « ments which O'Connell has originated and controlled , they are known and despised . While the open a od unblushing treachery of O'Connell himself , his shameless dispensation of the Government patronage among the sycophants and servile crew who follow Gandhis open abandonment of Repeal , ° y consenting this year to dine with the " Reform Club , " though the toast of the "Repeal of the Union " *•» not given ; notwithstanding he had previously flE d «» ed to attend on that ground—all foreshadow " speed y and an appropriate end to bis long career ^ charla tanism . ^ e Nation openly accuses him of having delibentei ? bartered the interests , the hopes , and the

      Untitled Article

      honour of the country , for a share or a monopoly in the distribution of Government patronage ; and adduces facts to prove the assertion . The young blood of the country will rise np against his conduct , and old humbug will be trampled in the dust in the contest . O'Connell was stronger when backed by the confidence of the people , than when virtually dispensing the patronage and the emoluments of the "Vice-Regal Lodge .

      One would have imagined that the party who , by fa ! se pretences , sneaked into office at the close of last year , would have tried to keep at least ONE promise made by their chief . Upon no subject have the Whigs been more magniloquent at all times than National Education . And in Lord John Russell's address to the electors of the City , on presenting himself for re-election after bis appointment to office , that question was given a prominent place in bis enumeration of the measures required , and which , by implication ; if not direct pledge , he promised to introduce . That announcement led to the belief tbat some such measure would be forthcoming next Session , and a hot , though somewhat prosy , discussion forthwith took place among the partisans of voluntary and State Education . The valiant Edward Baines the younger , led the voluntary principle in the Leeds Mercury , and was followed by other Dissenting Journal ? , with strong protests against the principle of national instruction , which they represented a 3 replete with " treasons , stratagems , and spoils " against public liberty . They also drew the most

      appa'Iing pictures of the results it would producers well as the most absurd and outrageous representations of the present amount of education . If these saintly and profitraongering Journals really cared one farthing about popular liberty , perhaps . we might have on this occas on g iven them some credit for their conduct , but the shalbwest acquaintance with them is sufficient to lead to the conclusion that by popular liberty they mean their own exclusive power over the consciences and pockets of their dupes , On the other hand , the advocates of the national

      principle , " nothing loalh , " met the Dissenters with stat istics , assert ions and counter-statements , and the wordy warfare has shown at least on both sides great industry and not a small amount of earnest , ness . Of course the presumption was , on both sides , that they were fighting about a reality , and that the discussion w , ould materially influence the nature of the measure it was assumed Lord John was at work upon ? It now ' seems that they were altogether mistaken . The Herald asserts with the utmost confidence that " there is no intention

      whatever , on the part of the Government , of proposing any scheme of National Education . " If this be true , on what grounds do the Whigs mean to base the retention of office , what conceivable reason will there be left for tolerating them even for a single night on the Treasury bench ? The deputation appointed at the metropolitan meetings for opening the ports gave the Premier an opportunity of showing both obstinacy and rudeness . After the presentation of the memorials last Saturday , his Lordship explained that it was not " a necessity" that would induce him to open the ports , as he had been understood to say on a former

      occasion , bnt " an extraordinary necessity . " One of the deputation naturally asked , what Lord John ' s conception of an extraordinary necessity might be ? at the same time quoting a few of those instances of appalling destitution and suffering which are unhap . pily so abundant . The haughty and ill-mannered Whig deigned no further reply to this request and statement than to jump up from his seat with a cold , "I have no further explanation to give , " and leave the astonished deputation to make the best of their way to the door ! Civility is cheap to everybody . In a Minister it is a duty , and the bad taste , not to say want of tact , which could commit such a breach of conventional propriety needs no

      comment . The staple manufactures of the country continue in an exceedingly depressed condition . The grand effects that were predicted to flow from Free Trade and an extension of commerce are yet to come . We are realising the truth of the proverb , " tbat though one man may lead a horse to the water twenty can't make him drink . " We forced the Chinese to open six ports for trading with us , and sent over cargoes of our cotton goods to them , but

      we could not force them to buy . They are now , we believe , lying rotting in the warehouses . This is a fair explannation of the nature of that trade , to which the Free Traders were wont to attach so much importance . The manufacturers of Yorkshire and Lancashire are now ,- if we are rightly informed * beginning to find ibis I out , and their only hope of recovery from their present depression rests on the spring trade of that" home market" which has been so much overlooked and by some so systematically decried .

      The swords so recently fleshed on the banks of the Sntlej , are not likely to grow rusty ; a war in Cashmere promises to find employment for our troops for some months to come . In March last , when the affairsofJPunjaub were being " settled , " Sir Henry Ilardingeihought proper to hand orer a large portion of the dismembered Sikh territory to a treaclt erous ruffian , named GholabSing , who was forthwith installed " Maharjah . " Amongst the districts made over to this Gholab was the far-famed Vale of-Cashmere ; the inhabitants , however , did not relish

      the rnleof this British-manufactured " prince , " refused to acknowledge him , and now , are engaged in resisting his authority by force of arms . The Sheik of Cashmere , ( to whom the people are much attached , ) though the son of a Sikh , has assumed the Mahomedan designation of Emirrool-Moomemin , has declared himself independent , and has twice defeated the troops despatched by Gholab to bring him to order . The Mahemedan tribes of the neighbourhood are inarching to the aid of the Cashmeriana , and it is said tbat the

      Afghans , with Akhbar Khan at their head , are on their way to swell the torrent against Gholab , and to measure swords once again with the British ; for the British are indeed engaged in thia disgraceful war , prosecuted for the purpose of imposing upon the people of " Cashmere a sovereign they detest . This fay be productive of dishonour—and perhaps defeat tooursoldiera , but it can be productive of no good . A bloody revolution in Napaul is very likely to afford a pretext for further interference , and propably more " annexations . "

      The French journals have been mainly occupied with the latest outrage against Poland , the seizure of Cracow . The pretended indignation of the Journal ties Debits and the other dynastic journals is mere fud ^ e intended to throw dust in the eyes of the French people ; thearticlesin theReforme , National , and Democratic Pacifique , are of a very different stamp , they justly and loudly inveigh against the new spoliation . We shall return to this subject .

      _ _ There is no decisive news from Portugal . At the time of writing this we have tffo contradictory reports before ns , one representing that Sa da Bandeira had been defeated by the Queen ' s general at Chaves ; and the other representing that it was Cazal who was defeated , and that 5 a da Bandeira had been victorious .

      Peace Sociek . —Elihu Burritt , the celeorated American writer and philanthropist , delivered a lecture in the Hall of Commerce , in favour of the principles of peace , on Tuesday evening . The place was crammed , and many thousands , among whom were some Members of Parliament , went away because they were nnable to gain admission . The lecturer discussed the subject in all its more important bearin ° s , and with a fervid eloquence expatiated on the horrors of war , and the blessings of . peace *

      We beg to « h 2 w a'tention to the following hearttouching letter from , w ' fe of one of the Newport victims ; comment woula but weaken the appeal .

      TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , Esq . MarchS , 18 iG . Sir , —My distressed situation , can alone plead for my thus intruding myself upon your notice , I being the widow of thelate unfortunate William Jone ? , who was transported with Frost and Williams , as being leaders in the late riots at Monmouth . Under no other circumstances than the present , would I have been persuaded to address you , but I can assure you , I am Buffering the most extreme want , being deprived of him to whom I looked for support , I am entirely now depending upon my own exertions , needle work , and my health failing me , I am frequently unable to earn enough to provide bread . I have no one to look

      t » for even a loaf , having left niy / frlends ior some time ( not being able to bear their toniroache ?) , and now , as a last resource , I throw ' jnyself upon your kind consideration , to know if something cannot be done for me . Much has been done for the widow of Frost , and as I have thus long endeavoured to do without seeking relief , I trust my appeal may not be in vain . I do not ask it for luxury , but r . ommon support , which my health is linking fast for want of , and the trials I have to encounter none can imagine but myself , but this I do know , that unless something is dona for me , I cannot long survive my difficulties . May these few Iine 3 claim your consideration , and be the means of obtaining relief to Your distressed , and humble servant , Eliza Jonkb .

      Pooe Law CBUBwr . —Thonjas Smith , of , ^ ihsoredge , near Naihworth , Gloucestershire , writes us that he had a mother , a widow , seventy years of age and innrm , who being poor ariflhavinff her goods distrained for rent came to live with him . T . S . is npoormun , and his necessities ^ compelled him to apply to the relieving officer of the union for seme assistance for his mother , but was refused .. He them applied : o the medical officer who gave him an order for immediate relief , this procured her two shillings . Although the medical officer , had said th e poor woman waa not fit to betaken to the workhouse , yet on th « 3 rd instant , therelieving officer came to the home of T . S . and took her away . The poor crcnturo cried and begged that she might not be tiken to the workhouse , and T . S . told the relieving officer what the medical officer had said ; to this the relieving officer replied that , ' he would be bound to have his arm cut from his bodyif

      , he had not a certificate in his pocket from the medical officer to certif y that the workhouse was the best place for her . " Accordingly the poor woman iraB taken away . The medical officer subsequently assured T . S . that he had not given any certificate to the relieving officer , nor knew anything of the poor woman ' s removal until after her arrival at the workhouse . T . S . subsequently complained to one of the guardians , but could get ro redress . On the 26 th T . S . received tews of the death of his mother who had died in the Gloucester Asylum about ten days after her removal from home .

      , THE CHARTER f ¦ :: ' iMD NO SURRENDER ! MESSK& M'GRATH AND CLARK'S TOUR . ASHTON-iiNDER-LYNE . Coopehative Land Compant . —A public meeting was held in the ehape ' , at CJiarle to \ vn , onj Wednesday evening , to hear the present position and prospects of the Chartist Land Company explained . Messrs . M'Giuth and Clark , two of the directors of the Company , were pre ? entfor that purpose . m Mr . RicnARD Pilliso , havins ; been chosen to preside , commenced the business by making a few preparatory observations , soliciting the attention of the audience to what would be advanced by the speakers , and stating that as their object was truth , every opportunity would be afforded to any party that might feel disposed to differ from either of the gentlemen that were about to address the meeting . lie had much pleasure in introducing their old friend ,

      ¦ Mr . Thomas Clauk , who , on present ' nsr himself , was warmly received . lie entered upon a review of the agitations that hnd engrossed the attention of the workins ; classes forthe five and twenty years , and congratulated the meetiner upon the improved tone of public opinion , which , he nrgied , was in a great measure , the result of the a » itntiong to which he had made reference . Ileprocoeded to elucidate the nature and objects of the Chartist Co-operative Land Company , and concluded an interesting address by an able exposition of the principles and value of co-operation .

      Mr . Philip M'Ghath spoke next , and was loudly cheered on riseing to address the meeting . He entered into an elaborate and eloquent defence of the rights of labour , and exposed sn a masterly style , the systems of fraud that arc reported to , to filch from the labourer the fruits of his own industry . Mr . M'Grath ' s address was listened to throughout witli the most marked attention , and apparently gave the highest satisfaction . Thanks were voted to Messr 3 . Clark , M'Gratli , and tho Chairman , and the meeting dissolved .

      BURY . Th « Bury branch of the Chartist Co-operative L'xnd Company , anxious to give their -fellow-townsmen an opportunity of judging ot the principles nml objects of tho institution , resolved upon'hnlriins a public meeting for that purpose . Application bein » made to the proper authorities , the Town Hall was obtained for the meeting , which was convened for Thursday evening . At the time announced fnr taking thechiir . the hall \ ma filled with a most attentive audience . Mr . Ireland was elected to prccide . He briefly but forcibl ) stated the object of the meeting and then introduced Mr . Clark , who delivered an ab ' . o and eloquent address , in which he vividly pourtrayed the wrongs inflicted upon the industrial community by those who would be considered their friends and protectors . Mr . C ' ark having described the benefits of the company , vevy clearly explained the principle of operation by which they were proposed to be secured .

      Mr . M'Giuth vi * y effectively supported the viewg of his colleague . Some questions were put and satisfactorily answered . The usual votes having been passed , the meeting separated .

      DEYVVOOD . A public meeting of the inhab tant 3 of this tow » was held on Friday evening , in the Chartist Hall , to adopt the National Petition to Parliament in favour of the Charter . The resolutions submitted were ably spoken to by Messrs . Clark and M'Grath <^ f the Executive , and unanimously adopted by the meeting . Tlmnfta having been voteil to the Chnirnmn , and to Messrs M'Grath and Clark , the meeting dissolved .

      OLDIIAM . . Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather , the large school-room attached to the Hall was throngeJ on Sunday evening lust , at the usual hour for commencing business . The Chairman opened the proceedings of the night by rending from the Northern $ tocr ; Mr . Fielden ' s speecfe on the Ten flours Bill . lie then called upon Mr . M * Grath to address the meeting on the subjects of tire Charter and the Land . Mr . M'Ghatr said that while . he considered tho subjects of the Charter and the Land paramount to nil others in point of importance , hs thought that they should not wholly absorb attention from other mesiaurc-s which the best interests of myriads

      imperatively cUtuand . The subject , of the Ten Hours Bill has been introduced by the Chairman , he was therefore anxious to make a few remarks on that important topio . Humanity and sound policy called aloud on the Legislature for the legal embodiment of the Ten Hours Bill . Was it not a damning blot , a burning shame , that in a country that so loudly vaunts the purity of its Christianity ,, the houndlessness of its philanthropy , and the extent of its civilisation . that women and children , the wives and ou % ring . of men aaid to be free , should work more hours each day than the American : alave , or than the ) horses or asses of their wealthy grasping masters * Man ' s inventive genius had wichin the last half century achieved triumph , at the contemplation of which

      reason stands aghast , but grasping avarice denies labour all participation in their benefits . The Ten Hours Bill asserts the principle that an abridgment of the number of hours ef factory iaootir is . i blessing which the introduction of ' labour-saving machinery should confer upon the operative . The tendency , however , ' of the exhtin 1 ' social and oolitical arrangements is to render erery achievement of mechanical akill a minister fti the shrine of mammon , a curse to those \ vh 03 e bread- depends' upon the sweat of their brows . It was sometimes alleged tha * a Ten Hosts' Bill would reduce wages . He thouglt ? the contrary . Its operation would employ the surplus labour which now enables tile capitalists to reduce vfiiee 3 ,. fop where now a hundred hands gets employment if the Ten [ lours Bill were latv , one hundred and twenty would be in work , hence we may fairly conclude that if the additional demand made upon

      th <> labour market did not increase wages it would at least keep them up to their present elevation . Mr .. M'Grath combated the doctrine of non-interference so strongly contended for by the political economists ? Regulation was the great characteristic of Nature , and as t&e laws of Nature are the surest b : isis for human law . regulation should irot ho repudiated in regard t » labour . The Short Time . parry Ihitu a splendid opportunity . Th& most prominent meniT hers of tk « ministry are advocates of the Ten Hours Bill . Let , therefore , the friends of justice press the Government with vigour , ancJ' should Whijtgery refuse its official support , it will make another addition to that catalogue of infamies-which render it excrablein the minds of all honast men . Mr . M'Grath then ably descanted upon the Charter and the land ; and concluded with a strong appeal to the audience to ; join tho glorious Land Company . Several members were enrolled in the Company .

      Votes-of thanks having been passed to the Ghair man and" Lecturer , the meeting separated .

Clark and M'G ? ntli , who plnecd the Chartist Land Company before the jiulgraent of the audience in > a light so clear , ibat a large addition to its members-may be safely predicted . Discussion was invited , bu& opposition was silent . Many rulea were taken ; there was not ennugfr > of them to SUftyiy the demand , firing the evening scores were obliged to depart unable to obtain ingreai . Three soul exhibiting cheess having been given lor the-Land , the Charter , and O'Connor , the meeting dispersed , evidently delighted with the-evening ' s pro ~ - ceedings .

We also observed upon the p ' atform Messrs . Dowtie , Scott , Anad . il , and Smart , all of them tried and unflinching labourer * in the field of democracy .

Happiness of the human race , and may they never slack their cfloits tilt they ' sue their country ; in possession of their respective rights . " ( Tremendous uhecring . )

      Mr . M'Crea spoke to this sentiment at considerabla length , and in his usual eloquent in . d lorciblo style . The next sentiment was "The Charter , with all its advocate ; both in and out of Parliament ; all who suffered 1 ' ioin its . advocacy , cither by imprisonment , exile , or t ' cath , and who have remained stedfaat , immoveable , ' and faithful in thu good canst' , and may that precious ducument S'iOii become the law of tUa land .
