      It has often struck us as something yew strange that Liverpool has never produced a novelist Does it jar in the ear of the reader like a paradox when we say that where there is commerce there will be found the materials of romance ? It is the fact , neverthe-Jess , Who was that ever-to-be-honoured William Roscoe but a Liverpool banker , and what the subject of bis great work but the merchant sisters of Florence -the Medici ? The new work entitled " The Mel viUes w . 1 we hear , tell us something of the merchant princes of Liverpool , with whom he has an iSate acquaintancej , if indeed he is not one of their number His « John Drayton" has shown us wha he can do ' we await « The Melvilles" with eager ex pectSn tn to see what may be done . -Mon 4 HeS ™™ ' *

      TO THE SUBSCRIBERS AND READT ^ T OF THE ' STAR , ' * With this number of the c Star tho connexi the present Editor and Proprietors ceases ri ° copyright has been transferred to Mr . G . J . HAn , 9 b y whom it will be in future conducted . ' *' > When we annoucced the change of Propriet o v a few months ago , we stated very fully the cir stances under which the paper came into om- do "" " sion—the principles and objects it was intended " advocate—and tho spirit in which it should U ducted . Tt e retire from the position thoti i ^ . ^^ with the conviction that we have honestl y if fa 2 f ciently—endeavoured to fulfil the promises there m ! f We have not deviated from the path marked out * orderto avoid unpopularity or misrepresentation ^ ' "

      TA 1 * aDTOn rt *\ ins \ Yisi * ifra ¦ wi /\ m VinnA ( iia im i . 1 _!• i . « **!¦ terested opponents ; nor have we in the sli ghtest d gree made overtures to , or formed connexions wit ?' any party , that could have cast a shadow of suspy '* on the thorough independence of this journal . On th contrary , we have carefully kept aloof from al ? parties . Wo believe that such a paper was needed and resolved that all bona fide popular movement ' among the working classes for their political and social improvement , should have a free , full , J open expression and record through our column * if they chose to avail themselves of them . We had no higher ambition than to be useful ; and wo had ever reason to believe at tho commencement of our under . taking that we had a fair prospect of being so . Our calculations , however , turned out to be fallacious h . cause we had not taken into account what no honest

      or honourable mind could foresee—the co-ordinate commencement of an active , unscrupulous , unprinci . pled , and calumnious system of opposition , falsehood , and detraction , with the avowedly selfish purpose of destroying the Star ' and carrying over its readers to another publication of which the detractor and slanderer was the proprietor and conductor . An organised and systematic canvass was commenced all over the country , for the purpose of preventing per . sons from continuing to subscribe to or reading the ' Star . ' Tho most wanton and malicious falsehoode were first coucocted by the emissaries or dupes of tha individual referred to , and then published in his columns as faithful exoositions of public feelins

      among the Chartist body . The success of this dastardly scheme was well calculated upon by its on . ginator . He had previously seen the effect upon honest and unsuspicious minds of denunciatory resolutions , and bold assertions , however untrue , and ha reckoned with certainty upon accomplishing his put pose , at all events so far as the pecuniary position of the'Star' was concerned . Against such an opposition we were powerle&

      To have met it by entering into personal controversy , or the detailed exposure of the falsehoods habituall y indulged in , was altogether opposed to our previous habits , and our sense of self respect . We could only fall back on an independent and consistent advo . cacy of popular rights and progress as tho beef answer to all these calumnies , and the best proof that the Star' was truly and sincerel y devoted to the service of the people .

      That course has not succeeded . The Trade Socleties . Working Men ' s Associations , and Cooperative bodies , upon whose support we relied , to make up for any defection in the ultra-democratic rauks , have not thought proper to give us that support . It is only one more added . to numerous previous iJ / us * trations of the almost incomprehensible inconsistency of the labouring classes in this respect . None bo loudly denounce the journals opposed to them , ot

      more bitterl y complain that the press , as a whole , systematically upholds the interests of the upper and middle classes , and either ignores or oppresses the claims of labour , than those who live by their industry ; yet , whenever any journal is established expressly for the advocacy of their interest , and tliroffB open its columns for the exposition of their wrongs , they fail to give it that support which can alone enable it to do justice to their claims , or to force them upon the recognition of the ruling classes . The result

      of this active and desperate opposition on the one hand , and of apathy on the other , lias been a stead y and continuous loss , until at length it became evident that no public benefit could be produced by persisting longer in continuing tho paper under its present management . Our great object to assuming the position , was to promote social and political reforms in a temperate spirit—radical in prince but gradual in application . Failing in that object , there is no alternative but to retire , which we « without complaining , content to bear the loss incurred m the enterprise , and compensated by the reflection that to the utmost of our means and ability , we ha « done our duty to the popular cause . In resigning

      our position to Mr . Harne y , we do so with the hope and earnest desire that he will be more successful . and that he will receive that support to which Ms long and well-tried services in the cause of Democrat so pre-eminentl y entitle him . Whatever may have been our differences with that gentleman upon practical and immediate questions , or points of detail , wo have never failed to recognise the earnest faith , ana the unselfish spirit which has characterised his public career , and the advocacy of his conscientious convictions . We hope , that on his return to tho fo sl'" ° a of Editor of the ' Star , ' he will gather rouud M * again many of those with whom , in former yea ta , Ue has laboured and suffered , and that under his ausp ic «

      the 'Star' may again become a po werfol-nisy ' { add powerful because temperate and practic « il-f > F of Democracy . Forourselveswehave to thank those who hajj steadil y supported us through evil report . *" Editor , in retiring from a connexion which " lasted now nearly seven years , does so with the consolation of having consistentl y devotved Ms P . , the promotion of the oublic « ood . in a spirit con »«

      teut with tho object aimed at . While we have uem hesitated to condemn injustice , to expose opp WfJj and to drag abuses to the light , it has also J ? , our object to teach affirmatively tho great poMJ " and social truth , that a mere change of persons , v shifting of power from one class to another , * ° , prove no effectual cure for the evils comp laint ' The cure , must be sought for in the system , n ° ' S men who administer it . And the only radical » permanent remedy is a gradual but steady recoup tion of society , with the view of enabling au « J * . to participate in the advantages of our enormoo ! ^ creased and increasing powers , our accumulate telligence , and our varied means for diffusing »" blessings of an advanced civilisation . .
