The tale abounds with deep , thrilling , and tragic incidents ; it is a hideous but striking picture of French society , true to Xature , though clothed in rich and high-coloured drapi-ry . The principal male character , Lugarto , represents a Russian nobleman , who married a near relation of the Emperor Sapoleon ; and Matilda , the principal heroine , is the beautiful and accomplished Madame ** ~ . Indeed , every character in the work represents some remarkable personage well known in the Parisian circles ; and the whole is an index of fashionable life and the impurities which sprang from it—of sociely as it is , not as it should be .

      OUR ANNIVERSARY . Twelve years have elapsed since the " Northern Star" first raised t \ ie banner of Chartism . Ill storm and sunshine , during these twelre years , that banner has been uplifted with steady and unwavering determination amidst all the fluctuations and changes of tho political world , and this day , in commencing oui thirteenth volume , we raise with unabated zeal and devotion , the old rallying cry— " The ClIAUTER AND NO SURRENDER !"

      Anniversaries are like mile-stones . They measure the distance from the starting point , and indicate how far we are from the goal . It is natural , therefore , upon their recurrence , for us to cast a retrospective glance on the past , and to indulge in such speculations on the future as may be warranted by that retrospection . In order to realise full y the influence which this Journal has directly , and indirectly , exercised over public opinions , and the share it has had in producing the present aspect of political parties , the state of affairs previous to its establishment must be taken into consideration . .

      . At that period no reall y popular or national organ of opinion was in existence . The journals professing " Liberal" politics , were confined to a local circulation , were under local and pertizan influences , and their management was , at all times , dictated more by The Proprietor ' s sense of self-intereBt , thanby stern attachment to abstract and unpopular principles . Their "Liberalism" was carefull y got up to suit the existing market ;—the creation of a bolder , firmer , national opinion and party , was an enterprise too great and too hazardous for them .

      Meanwhile , for want of a national organ , the energies of the people in different districts were frittered away in varied and incongruous agitations , and the exertions which , combined and well-directed , might have produced a visible effect upon society—failed , because of their individualised and incoherent character . Besides this , the want of some recognised exponent of tho popular will and political creed , left the masses at the mercy of false teachers , and liable to be led astray by any " willo ' -the-wisp" manufactured by jobbin « politicians . °

      It was clear that a combined national movement could never be formed under such circumstances , and , without that , it was equally clear that no substantial victory could ever be achieved for the politicall y and socially enslaved masses . The Proprietor of the " NortJiern Star , " therefore , resolved to establish it for the three-fold purpose of creating organising , and directing a national public opinion in favour of their political and social

      emancipation , and in November , 1837 , Democracy in this country was presented with a free , uupurchascd , and unpurchaseable organ It was a time of great public excitement ! ine Anti-Poor Lav agitation was at its height The " Three Kings of Somerset House" and the people were in the midst of a hot and furious contest .

      " Northern Star" stood forth and demanded theenactment of the People's Charter as an indispensable pre-requisite to the permanence or utility of all other reforms . It took its stand upon the princi ple , that until the whole people were enfranchised there could be no guarantee either for just legislation , or impartial administr ation—that , while political and administrative po wer was monopolised by the few , the many must virtually be their slaves , and that any so-called reforms emanating from such a sourc e could neither be national within scope , nor endurin g within character .

      To these views it has unswervingly and unfalteringly adhered ( ever since , under discouragements and persecutions almost unequalled in the history of British journalism . Wo have been assailed equally by open foes and by pretended friends . We have had to encounter Government prosecutions backed \> y all the power of the treasury , the avowed object of which was to " ruin the proprietor with

      expenses , " and the fierce competition of crotchet-mongers and jobbers in the ranks of the Chartists , who , when they found they could not prostitute the " Star" to their personal ambition or interest , commenced journals in oppositiou , the sole object of which appeared , to be to heap obloquy , calumny , and vituperation upon Mr . O'Connor . The flowing tide of popular opinion , and its ebb , have been equally costly to the " Star . " When National enthusiasm and excitement grew strong , and tho country was roused from one end to the other

      by one of those wide-spread and electric impulses which , ever and anon , quicken nations into life , Mi . O'Connor ' s labours and expenses were proportionately augmented ; when the reflux came , and the people relapsed into apathy or sullen discontent , the heaviest portion of the expense of defending and supporting the victims seized by the Government fell upon "Mr . O'Connor . The " Northern Star" has been throughout national property and the life , talent , and fortune of its Proprietor have been as freely and as fully placed at the disposal of the people .

      Not—we rejoice to say—without reward . The other movements alluded to , as contemporaneous with the establishment of the " Star , " have some succeeded , and some failed ; in both cases , we believe , impressing upon their advocates the truth for which we have contended . And now , when the Ten Hours "Bill" has become an Act ; now , when the Poor Law Commission has become a Poor Law Board ; and the ultra-Malthusianism of the one has been replaced by a policy more in accordance with humanity and reason ; now , when tho great Free Trade Party have achieved many more triumphs than they

      dreamt of at starting ; now , when the Socialists exist no longer as an organised body , whatever influence their opinions may exercise on general society—after all this , the nation is coming round to the position taken up by Mr . O'Connor and the "Northern Star . " An Extension of Political Privileges is now seen to be as important and essential to good government and national well-being , as we have ever contended it was . Without that we liave nothing ; the political edifice is founded upon sand . With an enfranchised people it would be built upon a rock , against which all the -waves of political corruption and social monopoly would beat in vain .

      The movement headed by Sir Joshua Walmsley is the direct offspring of this feeling on the part of the nation . Disgusted with the effects of past changes , and seeing clearly , that , until they are really represented in their own House , there can be no radical or beneficial change even for them , a large and influential section of the middle classes have taken the field . They do not in terms go as far as the Charter , but their success would inevitabl y secure its enactment . If the National

      Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association carries its four points , the whole of the Charter will not bo long behind . The augmentation of the votes from less than one million to three or four millions , would give a wonderful impetus to the progress of democracy ; and , though the measure be based upon expediency instead of justice—though it takes property instead of Manhood as its foundation , the Chartists are content to hail it as the precursor of a more perfect measure of political

      enfranchisement . The middle and working classes have joined hands , without reserve or dissimulation . Tho one party says they cannot go further at present—the other , that they will accompany them as far as they go , but they do not mean to stop there . The ancient and honoured motto is not even in abeyance . We still exclaim , . "The Charter and No Surrender ! " but , taught by dear-bought past experience , we have varied the mode of operation by which it is to be attained .

      This junction between the middle and working classes is the one great event of the past year upon which we have to congratulate ourselves and our readers . The prospect of ultimate success brightens upon us . The day of political redemption draws nigh . Against the combined forces of tho producers and distributors of wealth , the idle drones and usurious monopolists of society cannot stand . Opposition will but add celerity and strono-th to the movement ,-aud the " British Constitution" must speedily become in realit y , what it has long been in name— " Taxation and Representation' ' must bo "coequal . "

      But while the "Star" has thus steadilyamidst all obstructions , discouragements , and changes—pursued the primary object of its establishment , it has not boon unmindful of other equally important questions in the order of tune . Regarding poUticalenfranchisement merely as the means to an end , we have sought to enlighten the people on the great questions of national economy , in order that when enfranchised mi

      they ght be able to direct their newly acquired powers in a proper and beneficial channel . Come when that enfranchisement may it wUl we firml y believe , find the British people better prepared for its exercise than any other population in tho world . The ong protracted struggle to obtain their rights , has taught them how to estimate the value of these rig its .

      gradual , peaceable , and resolute aggressive popular movement . The revolutionary earthquake which shook thrones to the dust , and scattered kings , queens , royal dukes aud duchesses , princes and nobles , like sea birds in a storm , has passed away—what are its present results ? The old tyrannies restored in almost every country where Liberty achieved a brief and fleeting triumph . Hungary , whose bleeding heart yet palpitates in the hand of tho brutal ruffian Haynau , is scarcely less free than the citizens of the so-called French Republic , under the hypocritical despotism of

      Louis Napoleon and the rest of the political trucksters who are now gambling for supreme power . Tho meteor has flashed , dazzled , and disappeared , leaving profounder darkness behind it . That in the course of nature another convulsive upheaving of the forcibly repressed , but universal discontent which , exists in these countries , will occur again there can be no doubt—but is there any reason to believe with better results , if the conflicting parties are similarly composed ? The old rulers of the world have been trained to tlio exercise of force and fraud . They understand thoroughly the full use of these weapons . r J'h c people have neither the education nor tho

      means to contend with them on their own battle-field . They should be wise , therefore , and choose one more favourable for the developement of the powers they unquestionably possess . The strength of an unorganised majority is no match for that of a well-disciplined and well-armed minority . What then ? Organise the Majority . How ? Popular progress in England supplies an answer . Inch by inch the ground has been forced from the oligarchy ; every advantage thus slowl y won has been as sturdily retained , and with each successive advance tho power of the people grows stronger—that of their adversaries less . Can there be any doubt as to the ultimate issue ?

      With respect to the future management and policy of the " Northern Star , " we have no new promises to make , no broken ones to apologise for . Our past conduct is our guarantee for integrity and devotion to the cause of the people . The immense and unequalled sacrifices and labours of Mr , 0 'Co >"« nor speak for themselves to the country , and constitute for him a permanent stimulus to fight for the ultimate victory , in a struggle in which he has borne so conspicuous a part , and " endured the heat , and burden of the dav . !> The " good cause" has become part of his being , and whoever may desert it—whoever may grow apathetic or despairing — he , at least , while life and health remain , will ever be found at his post .

      The " Northern Star" will , as hitherto , continue to be independent , impartial , and national in its whole policy and arrangements . It knows nothing of cliques or factions . The Sons of Labour everywhere are welcome to its columns . Tho miners of Durham , and the silk weavers of Spitalfields—the cotton trades of Lancashire , and the agricultural peasantry of Great Britain and Ireland—the clothiers ot Yorkshire , and the linen workers of Belfastthe PEOPLE , from Penzauce to John 0 'Groat ' s , are our clients . We advocate tho cause of all—we labour to promote the improvement and prosperity of all .

      xv or are our sympathies and regards confined to our own shores . The " Northern Star" will , as heretofore , contain the most truthful and intelligible reports of the progress of ., freedom abroad ; while , at the same time , it will defend those who struggle for that freedom , against the infamous and uufounded calumnies of a prostitute aud unpiiiicipled Press . Happily , our circulation—both on tho Continent and in the United States , aud our recognised position as the organ of British Democracy , will enable us widely to neutralise the venom of tho reptiles .

      We look back with pride aud satisfaction upon the past , and forward with hope to the future . _ The flush and fever of excitement with which we began our labours has faded , but it has left behind more s ubstantial qualities—the calm , earnest , and persevering determination to fulfil our mission , and mind 3 more matured by experience aud reflection for the proper discharge of its important duties . With these qualifications , and with unabated hope and zeal , we commence the thirteenth volume of the "A orf / ieni Star "—a number nover before attained by any journal advocating similar principles .

      "The future hides in it Good hap and sorrow ; "We press still thorow , Nought that abides in it Daunting us—Onward . "

      PATRIOTISM AND OPPRESSION . "A tale of wrong , In ancient days , vrhen tyranny was strong . " " Truth , " said Byuon , " is strano-o , stranger than fiction . " The thrilling , graphic , and extraordinary narrativo of Mr . Kogkk O'Connor-first given to the world nearly forty years ago by William Cobisett , and this week re-published by us—is a powerful aud striking illustration of the fact . To the men of the present generation , it may almost seem impossible that such atrocities could ever have been perpetrated under the sanction of the British Constitution , and in a land nominally atleast , possessing constitutional guaniutecs for the security of person and property . Lord Uoncurry ' s recent revelations as to tlio lnlamous treatment he sustained at the outset ot We from the execrable Castlereagu , prove that these cases of lawless and relentless prosecution , were by no means singular , and that with r eference to Irish gentlemen especially , neither birth , station , property nor virtue , were any protection . On them an unbridled and blood thirsty tyranny might wreak its worst passions without let or hindrance , and while committing the most brutal crimes aud excesses , be applauded and hounded on by : t licentious and venal Press .

      Tho proscription and persecution of Mr . Roger O'Connor stands out from other cases by the magnitude of its enormity , and its bold and unblushing infraction of every principle of political and social justice . It is , indeed , almost siu generis , 'whether we regard the indomitable heroism , the public and private virtues of the patriot , or the unexampled fiendishness by which his persecutors were animated , anil which a careful perusal of the "Narrative " will explain .

      hever , indeed , do we remember of bavin * seen the peculiar idiosyncracy and character oi another , though unconsciously , so forcibly portrayed nn his writings , as in this "Namitive relating to Mr . 0 Connor . " Without inending any direct descri ption , wo are presented with a ful -length portrait of the num . bold m its outline , and finished with the minutest touches of truth and nature . We can imagine the frank and hospitable reception of the soldiers- " in a sad plighf ' -wlio without notice , at nine o clock in the evening

      on the 27 th of December , such a ui « ht as my remembrance cannot parallel , " invaded his porters' lodges in quest of quarters . The object of such an intrusion was to excite oppasition , and to lay the ground for a p lausiWa prosecutio n ; but the natural generosity and overflowin g hospitalit y of tho man , balked his enemies m their nefarious conspiracy . " Day or night , rough or smooth , " exclaims tin large-hearted patriot , " my countrymen were „ welcome to me . I had then a large house , fvrell stored . I ivas in the midst

      j { of plenty , full of happiness . I brouM all the nun to my house . My mind ' has no register of the time thty ' ^ remained with me or what , I did "for them .
