" From the time kings had cursed the earth with tjieir pretence , there had been nothing but one continuous scene of rapine and Wouished . Hereditarymonarchy appeared to him

      perfectly ridiculous , placing on thrones alternatel y madmen , infante , and fools , for sovereigns . He held republicanism to be the better system of government , inasniuehasit gave the people the opportunity of choc-sing the beat and wisest ef men to rule over them .. ( Leud cheers . ) Mr Stallwood followed on the sameaide , illustrating his argument by referring to Portugal . . Spain , Rome , and England , under former , monarebs . , Mr Stallwood was ' much applauded , no one appearing to defend monarchy . The subject was closed , and an announcement made that the subject for Saturday next ( this evening , ) July 3 rd , will be , "Is Genealogy opposed to Geological tcrmation ?

" Mr Trurhble Very eloquently explained and defended the Six ' Points ...-Mr . Broome agreed with Universal Suffrage , but could not agree with secret voting ; looked on it as the de-trover of liberty both in Rome and France ; thought if the people of England had the vote they woald be much too virtuous to use it in secret Mr Tilt agreed with Mr Broome in his 'objections to the Killc . t . and « h . ught tho people were notyet prepared for Universal Suffrage ; they were not intelligent onuugb . If they were not first educated , it would throw-open the flood-gates of corruption . He did not think every poor wretch who tnieht ham . ™ in 1

      sleep underWaterloo Bridge should be entrusted with the franchise ; thought the doings at Sudbury , lfwich ; ani other places , were sufficient proof of what people would do if they had the vote . Mr SrtRllwood , in a speech that was much applauded , replied to the objections urged by Messrs Broome ami rut and contended * that "The 1 ' eople ' s Charter , wholeand entire , was the bestsystem that could be adopted . Mr Bowler thought it was avery strong proof of ignorance when a man stood tip and contended that his fellow-men were too ignorant to use anaht the elective franchise .

      HIGHLAND LAND-ROBBERS . ' \ THE DISTRESS IK THE HIOHLAMD 8—THE / CAUSE ASP THE CUBE . 0 ^ ( From the Edittouiyh Wahly Eepreri , ) S » , —A letter hat lately been addressed by ' A Fellow of the Onianio Society' to Lord John Russell , the purpose of which is to ihow' the cauaes , ' and to point out ' a permanent remedy ' for the destitution ii the High , lands ; and as this letter is suggestire to me of a good many topic ! connected with the same subject , I would , with your leave , be permitted to lay a few words . The pamphleteer describes himself as ' a person not \ mtnte \ - ligentin Highland matters , ' This , I darp say , may be correct when he has occasion to speak of th » rations allowed by the 'Relief Meal Committee' to the Gael , and the gains and losses consequent to ' lhat people on the

      manntactnre of kelp ; but his knowledge extends no farther ; and , such being the case , I cannot help regarding it as a species of presumption in him to venture to address the Prime Mluisterof England on a theme which involves principles and stirs up association * so utterly alien to that description of penny and farthing reasoning by which he has chosen to illustrate it . . True , he elevates his tone a little when he comeB to talk about' early and improvident marriages , overpopulation , over-divisions of land , over-poverty , ' and the necessity of government interference to prevent such abominations to th- State in future ; but though he calls himself a member of the Ossianic 8 oeiety , ' and might thereby be supposed to have imbibed some of the heroism and originality of Ossian , he can see no cur « for the disorders of the north but the

      stale and oft-repeated one of < a system of emigration on a gigantic scale , ' at the public expense . Like most other propagators of the same nostrum , however , he does not declare that be will travel ? go along with the emigrants to their place ef banishment ; and there share with them their tuib and th- ir torrows , and diligently instruct them how to ward off those Eourcei of misery which he says have sunk them so low in tbe scale of humanity at home . No , no ! be loves his own fireside in Glasgow and creature comforts too well for that ; but be generously adviseB that the Queen ' s Government should send ' a captain and lieutenant' along with the human beings he wishes to exile ; but what the duties of this military escort are to be he has not clearly defined . Now , sir , this ia a fair specimen of-the sort of stuff with which the

      press is inundated when the claims of tht Highland poor come to demand public attenvion . Banishment from the land of their , fathers , or some paltry " mitigation of their wrongs , is the universal cry raised . ' . The failure of this , that , or the other branch of manufacture , Is assigned at the cause of the distress of the people ; and they are insulted with compliments ( when' they ought ' to be ashamed of them ) for tht meek composure with which they hava borne those distresses ; but th ' e truecaufv of the distress few attempt to point out , much less grapple with ; and it is never asked whether there may not , be men in high places , and heartlef 8 speculators , r . uch as thit Ossinnic Society » man la , far mere deserving of banishment than the clansmen are themselves ; but all these things must straightway be done now . The pro *

      poundings of poor-law rioctors , emigration doctors , and surplus-population doctors have been weighed in tbo balance of experience sod common sense , and found wanting ; and we are at la # t arrived at a juncture when it behoves us to inquire , not ns we Lave hitherto been doing , whether one farthing or t « o fnrthings' worth of bread a-day , doled out either bj voluntary or legallyextorted charily , may bit sufficient to maintain a Highlander and his fi . mil y , and whether it might not have been better for the reiilm , after all . if the deserted glens of the Highlands bad bevn kept under tillage as of old , and the sea-weed , which the ancient cultivators of these glens made into kelp , put into the soil , which is now lying waste , and overrun with moss , for lack of human labour and nourishment : I say , we have reached a crisis when

      it would be sheer loss of time on our part to ask questions such as these ; but we are to inquire what the natural aad inalienable right ! ef the Highland peasantry are , and , having found them out , 'frankly , and with all speed , give them back . What these rights are I will endeavour ( not for the first time publicly ) to explain immediately . Yes , kings and queens may breed act infinitum , and our surplus-population dootors will say nothing , and , what is worst of all , the swinish multitude will glory in upholding those'kings and queens , and their progeny , in all those various forms of pomp , - idleness , U 6 ele 6 sues 8 , and luxury which are so inseparable from their position . Feudal dukes and lords likewise may bring tribes ef bloodsuckers into existence , and fools and self interested parasites will meet to cele .

      brate the birth of every heir-apparent with riotous re . joicing ; but let a Hi ghlander take unto himself a wife , and thereby fulfil nature ' s Jaw , and a brand is forthwith set upon him b j the abettors of the rich and the powerful . Though he may sweat with bard labour from night to morning , he is stigmatized as an idle vagabond and curoberer of the ground , and nothing short of tho annihilation ol himself and his children will satisfy his foes . But the letter-writer I have alluded to admits that the time was when even the article of population , ' as bo culls it , was more esteemed in the Highlands than it is in these days , when ebiefrains reckoned the value of their * domaim' by the number of warriors they could bring into the fiild ; but candour required , while he was making mention of these historical facts , that ho should

      also bave told us what the nature of the JentiKJ were by which the chitftaina Md the . 'domains' he speaks about . The clansman held bis farm ( which was not a wretched bit of potato-croft , amoiig rocks and bogs on the soushore , ns it now is , but several acres of good Innd in the glea , and unlimited freedom of hunting and pueturage among the mountains hi > Mri «<> , ) hy n * good , a charter h « tbe chief held his castle . Nay , more , the chi * f , even in feudal ages ( a corruption of the patriarchal , ) coul » be 6 et adrift by the votes of the clan , end often was io ; and , certainly , to exterminate and drive his followers out of their possessions bv burning brandu , as ho a been done by the Highland lairds , for two generations past , was the last idea that would have struck him . Indeed , the chief conld not by any , possibility , « ven at common

      law , have exercised such a dreadful stretch of power ; for , beit observed , hewaj not , theproprietorof the territories o / ( he clan ; be was simply the adopted prince or leader oi the tribo ; and it wan only in consequence of our kings arrogating to themselves the monstrous prerpgativeof convejlnK away landt which were not their own to their favourites and sworn vassal * , that the chief came to wrest from bis clansmen their hereditary inheritances in the soil , and to style himself a proprietor in the modern sense of tho term at all . Well , Sir , if this be an accurate . representation of the affair , is not the path of duty plain before ui i—via ., iomtore Use Highland clanrto an entire absolute right of property in the lands of which they , have been robbed ; and I would , moreover , without scruple , expel the existing race of proprietors from their estates , as a . just retribution for

      the inhuman manner in which they have exercised their tuurped dominion over their fellow-citizens .: Sure I am , no loss of territory that they could sustain would be a severe enough ' junishiiKnt for the virtuous communities of men- and womeu these , aristocratical tyrants nave beggared and scattered ; and no atonement they could make to tbe sufferers would be a sufficient requital for the many tears they bare cawed to flow , and the honeBt hearts they have broken . In ( tabling with this business , we neither want 'Edinburgh nor London newspaper commissioners' to go to the Highlands nml make cold , bootless investigations into the circumstances of a * race whose language they , cannot speak , and into whose feelings they are . incapable of entering . No ; what we want is an energitic puilic opinion created , and a Roman dictator with a stout heart and an iron band to

      enforce it—an opinion which will go to the root of tho whole of the toeial mill of the north , and e ^ c 6 &tentid with nothing short of compute justice being doneto our longneglected mountaineers ; , not by giving them , «« Lord John Russell ' s 0 » i > iunic monitorcounsels ; '¦ bifeftmeuf in land en tone far distant foreign shore , but * infeft-¦ meuV in the fertile straths from whence they were i jeettd in tbeirown natal clime . In following this latter course , a few rapacious unpatriotic intruders have only to be removed , while by planting the Highlanders . on lands across seas , the aborigines of these ' regions will be the Mifferm ,- and they would have an good a title to regard the Highlanders as spoilers and intruders a > the-Highlanders theuificlveR have to regard as such their own landlords beyond tlie T » y ; But why , I ask ,

      expatriate the Highlanders of Scbthnd , because of their alleged numbers , and . their ' over , poverty V 'Is there not plenty of space in ' . he IlighlimiU ' to contain them —and is not the resources of the . Highland soil , if properly called-forth , ail * quatejo feed and clotheay , and enrich too , ihc whole of the pcoplo there ! But as tbe ground is in tho mornwhile apportioned in the Highlands , what ol » e , pray , but ' over-po ' vtrty , ' famine and' over . divisions of land " . i « to . , be looked for , more especially when Lord John RussdlV addresser informs us that the holdings of the inliabitants oonslut of an acre or two of tcrom eoil , never inUndod by nnture for culture , ' for which a high rent jb exacted , and « bcn _ the former nurseries of fair women and brave men have been converted into sheep-walks of couutless . milos ^ in extent' Tbe ^ yndtr rather is , under such a - terrible

      mUspplication of Cud ' s owu earth as this , that there are to be found human beings in the Highlands at a » i and yet , will your readers believe me when I tell them , that the very person who couldthus speak of the sheepwalks beiDg countless miles in exttnt , assures us , with the next breath , that -elbow room' Is onl y > be obtttiimd throughout the valleys aBd the mountains of our Caledonian Alps after we have , probably , got moro than onehalf of the present inhabitants shipped off to the colonies ! If , then , we deserve the Scottish name—if we love the'land of mountain and flood , ' wo will not rest contented until tbe children of the hills are removed from the ' scroggy orofu ' on which they are languishing , and transferred to their ancient vulltjs , whero they will have ample scope for exertion , and where they will be in a situation to acquire habits ot useful industry , both as labourers and farmers ; while , living ns they aie , they

      are sternly excluded from both . And here , Sir , in conclusion , 1 am constrained to lament the entire extinction of every patriotic principle in Scotland . No more Andrew . Fletchers arc to be seen ia the senate or on the public platform to proclaim tho wrongs and to defend the righti of our countrymen . While with one hand we beckon thousands upon thousands of indigent Irish to come and settle in the raid&t of U 3 , who bring along with them nothing but habits of moral and physical degradatluB , murderous to the community—with tho other we drive the cream of our own people from our bosom , or stand idly by and see them melt away around , us ; and when famine , pwtilenco , and lordly opprcjilcn seem to have done thdr flor&t in fograutaR th&t people , n «

A loireeoi the Co-operative League was held on Monday night at Farringdon Hall , King ' s Armsyard , Snow-hill , for the purpose of passing resolutions in support of the objects of tbe Society . There was a large attendance of ladies present , and amongst : them Mrs Mary llowitt , and a lady who writes in some of tbe London journals , under the signature of "Silver-pen . " In the ; absence of / Mr William Howitt , President of the Society , Mr Lane , of America , was called to the chair . He stated his conviction that no modification of the present competitive state of society could remove , the evils from which the people were suffering , and recommended tbe League to co-operate in the spirit of brethren , on the same principle that the Hopedale community and other communities in America act upon . Mr Hawkins moved the first resolution , to the

      effect—That the advent of , Labour was approaching , and that the meeting should rejoice at it as the medium by which the world should be delivered from . the wrongs and sufferings under which ' it now groans . ' [ Mr Maukweb seconded the . resolution , and urged that the doctrine that the people should be content with their position was bad , and that they should do all in their power legitimately to improve it . The resolution waB unanimously carried . Mr Bbgos , of the Health of Towns' Association , moved the second resolution , which was more in the nature of a sentiment , expressive of a desire to see the " union of all nations , in the bands of universal brotherhood ; commerce released from all re . strictions , and transacted in a comprehensive and beneficent spirit ; and that it might prove the means of destroying local prejudices , and lead men to make common cause in the promotion of human happiness , " ¦ : rr .

      Mr Richabdson seconded the resolution , which waa carried by acclamation . ' - Mr Aiw , secretary to ) the Society , proposed the third resolution in support of the cooperative cause , and reromqiending men to abandon the old ways of competition and strife , and to consent to labour for their mutual good , in which they would find their highest enjoyment .

      CHURCH-RATES . A public meeting was held in the large room of the Swan Inn , Clithero , on Wednesday evening , June 23 rd ,. "To take , into consideration the unjust and illegal determination of a small minority of a vestry meeting to imposea much larger ' rate than was agreed upon by a majority of the meeting , and to give the inhabitants of the chapelry an opportunity ot expressing their sentiments on the subject , which was denied them by the Chairman of the above meeting . " At half-past seven the room was densely crowded ; there were about 700 ' present . Robert Trapps , Esq ., town clerk , was called to the chair . He addressed the meeting at some length , to shew' that a farthing and not twopence in the pound was the real rate , ana pledged his character as a lawyer , that it was the only 1- gal and bonajide rate , and that the ratepayer * would be justified' in resisting the twopenny iate to the utmost . •'¦ c ; ¦ ¦"¦ .

      The Rev . Joseph Wadswokth , Independent minister , next shewed the baneful and unchristian character of church-rates , and concluded by moving—That [ church rates and other compulsory imposts for the support of religion , are unjust , oppressive , and injurious , being opposed to the principles of Christianity , and to that religious liberty which is the inalitnable right of every human being . .

However , "truth is mighty , and must prevail , " and those who are engaged in this righteous struggl * may take courage , for the day of their redemption draweth nigh . At the time of the American and French revolutions the people were induced madly to engage in a crusade against liberty , and had it been that the punishment bad fallen upon thoie who deserved it , no cause wonld have eiisted to find fault with the system ;

      but it so happens that posterity is punished for the misdeeds of their ancestor ! , and therefore we are made to feel the chastisement . Had they made common cause with them we should have escaped the ordeal which must be passed through , either peaceably or otherwise . Nothing short of the "People's Charter " can enable us to abolish the Land monopoly , which is the greatest curse that can possibly affect this country . Ia the mean time it behoves the people to exert all their energies to provide funds for purchasing all the lands that may come into the market ; by this means they will acquire a standing in society , improve their own condition , and that of their fellow-labourers . by reducing the competition in the labour market .

      THE PLUNDERING PR 0 FITM 0 N 0 ERS . TO THE EDIIOX OF THE NOBTHEBN STAB . Sib , —I beg to stats ? hat the magistrates of thit borough have lately posted up in conspicuous placet an abstract ot the acts relative to bakers and mill ^ ri adulterating flour or bread , having annexed to the several Acts of Parliament ' severe penalties , with tbe view of protecting the public . One villain of a miller has only recently been fined £ 20 for adulterating the flour with "beans or peaB , " and his excuse was , that it was absolutely necessary to mix these vegetables with tho wheat , U causa the flour to be more adhesive in preparing the bread ! What effrontery ! In place of £ 20 he ou ? ht to have been fined £ 100 , and , to repeat the act , to be

      transported for seven years . ' Another gross imposition on the public , especially the poorer class of society , is practised bv the fraternity of grocers , who not only basely adulterate sugar , coffee , tea , cocoa , die , to make greater profit , but , in weighing the articles , put paper along with it , thereby making their fraud greater , for in getting half a pound of sugar , cocoa , butter , or « eap , there will be half an ounce , if not more , to . be deducted from the article purchased . Why should not the legislature interfere and prevent such frauds on the poor , and cause this class to neigh , every article without paper , or , if such be uecesBary ( scales for soap

      and other articles ooght to be provided ) to hold the article , let paper of the same sort and sixe be put in the opposite scale ? This I haveseeu done by a "friend" or Quaker , who was so conscientious that he felt , if he acted otherwise , he was defrauding his customer . Surely our Commons' House of Parliament have as much right to dabble in such matters that concern the poor so closely as to enact that turbot , scented ( oap , oils , &c , shall be admitted duty free , became such are solely for their u « e and consumption , or that , on their finer teas and coffee , a higlur duty is not charged than for that consumed by the plebeian order ef the community . . .. ..

      LORD . HOLLAND'S "EQUIVALENT NEW (!) ' f ' 00 TWAY" TUROUGH IIOLLAND-PARK , KENSINGTON . TO THE IDITOB Of TJ 1 B KORTHIBN ST 1 K . . Diab Sir , —You have doubtless beard that it is the intention of Lord Holland to block up the footway More Holland House , and to divert the same in » line with his grand entrance drive , which is opposite the " Earl's Court Bond" to Brotnpton . This he styles a ' " new ! , ' footway , and so it seems to those who do not know any thins to the contrary ; but if any of your readers who take an interest in the question ( aud it is a question in which Imany are interesting themselves ) will perufe' tho "Maps , of London , " in the " Kinu ' s Collection" of the Library of the British Museum ( which they can . do upon the mere application for . a freei " order" to Sir Henry Ellis , the Cuief Librarian , signed by two respectable householders ) ,

      they will find this " now" line of footway is about as ¦ ' new" as . Holland House . It was originally a lane which led fr'bm the Thames to ; Willesrien . When the Holland Park portion of it was made away with I know not , but I insist that because Lord Holland is willing to restore it , tha tii not any 'just reason why he should deprive the public of another line of thoroughfare equally as Important , —I mean that which passes beforo Holland House , which is the remains of a Una also , and a very ancient one too , ¦ Let Lord Holland restore the stolen footway by all means , but let him not do so al the cost of the one which the public already enjoy , and . which they consider no ' . ' equivalent" can be given , at Indeed there cannot , i ., ; . .-, r ; ¦ . . . -,-..,... .... ,

      Trusting that you will give publicity to the above , I remain , dear Sir , yours , for public rights . < - ¦ ¦¦ ¦ Henst DoweilGaitriTHs , ;¦ Secretary of the West London Central Anti-. . : Enclosure Assaciation . P . S , Holland Park is already too much enclosed with black boards as high as a one-storied house . Lord Holland Bays he has his fences this height for fear that , in tho event of tbe public being robbed , the thief ( or thieves ) might not escape ; a very plausible xeason , truty , for blocking up the . country , but one which Englishmen , however gullible , are Hot likely to swallow . It is worth avisit to Holland Park , in order to " see sight of" its giant fencss ; the long lane to it from Nottlng-hill actually looks like a long sewer , so high and bo block aro the fences each sido of it .

On passing the obelisk at the end of Farringdon-street , he saw lying on the ground , in the mud , a piece of paper folded as a letter ; on looking at it lie found it to be an un < sealed letter , addressed to Mr Asher , British Museum , containing several Bank notes . The lad imraediateir returned to . his employers' house ef business , and banded the letter and notes to the head clerk in the counting-house , stating to him when and where hi had found them . The clerk , on examining the con . tenta , found enclosed two £ 40 and five £ 10 Bank of England notes , amounting in the whole to £ 130 , He

      then directed the lad to go immediately to the Maseum , and make inquiries for and ascertain if Mr Asher could be seen . On going there he found Mr ' Asher had left , and would net return till the next morning . ¦ „ It appears ; that Mr Asher had received tho notes at'the Bank in the course of the afternoon , and for safety had placed them in an oW envelops ' directed to him , and then placed them in the breast , pocket of his coat , and did not discover his lo > s till going to rest at one o ' clock in the morning .

      Mr Asher being pointed out to the lad , he inquired if he had lost any thing . Mr Asher answered , with createmotion , "Yes , have you found anything !" To his delight the lad answered he had found somi bank-notes . The lad ^ directly gave up the notes to Mr Asher on his describing them ; and much to tha honour of that gentleman he handed back a £ 10 note , The lad , with much acuteness , inquired "if he could make use of the note ?" Mr'Asher , recovering from his surprise , said "No , you cannot ; but you shall go with me in a cab to the Bank and obtaintill change . " They proceeded accordingly to the Bank

      and obtained the change . Mr Asher handed the ten sovereigns to the lad , and on leaving took down hil name and address in his pocket book , and promised the lad to do everything that'laid in his power to help him ; he would obtain for him a good situation , and promote in every way he could bis future interest and welfare , for the truly honest , upri ght , straightforward manner in which he had acted ii this transaction . It may be added that at the time Messrs Maxwells' lad found the money another lid was with him , to whom he afterwards gave four sovereigns , and placed the remainder of the mone ; in St Clement ' s savings bat ) k .
