      J 6 hn , Saxxy , axd the Spice Cakes . —John was a larking roung mechanic of Sheffield , and all tiie girls-set their caps at him . Sally was a great prude , but had some cash ; they made a match , and when entering the breakfast-room the morning after tie wedding-day , Sally observed that the table was covered with * spice-cakes . "John , " said she , " what ' s all this . " " Ay , nothing , love ; its only a Bargain I made that all the lasses I kissed before I iras married should send me a spice cake for the weddingbreakfast . " Sally ' s modesty seemed shocked , and addressing John with tears in ber eyes , said : — " Ay Jihn , John , what a fool I ' ve been . " " Nay , nar , love , nav , its all over , thou'rt not a fool . "

      M A . y , John , but I am , for if I bad made a bargain with all the lads that kissed me , to send me a loaf of bread and a bit of cheese , we might have lived upon bread and cheese all our live ? , Join . " The joke was turned against poor John . Electioxeebixg Mistatte . —Lord Longueville was as mere an electioneering schemer as ever lived . Upon one occasion , lie expected a sharp opposition to his nominee in the city of Cork ; and upon one of his bribing tours , he went into the shop of a very respectable boot maker , one Mr . Byrne . Byrne was not at tome , but ilrs . B . and ber ten children were there . His Lordship was shown inmade tender inquiries after the excellent Mr .

      Byrne—kissed the little dears all round— and presented them with a golden guinea each , and five to ihe mother . He also ordered twenty pairs of boots for the servants ; no matter as to size , if they did not fit one , they'd answer for another ; and off he walked , desiring that Byrne , on his return , should be sent to him , to his Club . Byre- arrived ; his Lordship wes drinking his wine after dinner , when llr . Byrne wa ? announced . * - Oh , Mr . Byrne , Mr . Byrne ; the hocestest man in Cork—( the dw > r was open )—show him in . ily dear 3 fr . Byrne , I am so

      THE FOOLERY OF SECTARIANISM , In Twelve Letters , By Joex Fixch . Liverpool t Ross and Isioutixgale . In the former part of this little book , the author has exposed the absurd character and mischievous effect of that . " Sectarianism , " which would be more properly denominated bigotry , in a very clear and powerful manner . In the latter portion of it , he attempte to introdece Mr . Robert Owex , the philosophic founder of Socialism , to the world under a new character—that of the Scriptural Messiah . We have enough of " Sectarianism ' in our disposiuou to wish that this bad not been done , because we think it calculated to destroy a large portion of the good which might have been effected by the book ; The system of universal co-operation an d

      social community advocated by the writer has our most-cordial approval , because we think it the best and most practical development of the great Christian principle of charity , but we venture to opine that the full developmentof " that religion of charity and love , " for which Mr . Finch contends would teaeh as scrupulously to Tegard the opinions and feelings of our fellow men , that we might avoid the infliction of unnecessary pain ; and we submit to Mr . Finch that the needless parodies of Scripture contained in his eighth and ninth letters do not manifest all the regard and tenderness for the feelings of others , which might have been afforded . At the beginning of . the book is a chapter on Universal Suffrage , and at the end of it one on Teetotalism , which we most cordially and entirely approve .

" But are we true tn our own priisciples ? . ' Certain . lv ?

      we do not us « fire and faggot ; we do not persecute unto blood those that do nut subscribe to onr opinions : blessed be God , the laws of our country do . not allow of this ; but is there no sucli tains to be iound in England as domestic porsecutionr The saying or doing anything unkind to another for following his own conscience , is ruspecies of persecution .

      TO THE EDITOHS OF THE NORTHERN STAB . ^ GENTLEMEir ^ r-I \ shoulds :-p | oVaWy ; .- ! . iijftW :. '" , neyer troubled neither , you ,-: ^ iwfvthe pnlpHc , * ith- any remarks p 4 any subjecf , tad ntft jhg ' , power ^ of the monopoUziiijaj capitalist of tiiis Unhappy : cpun try been increasing ererydaj-j nayr ^ rery hour . You will , no doubt , riemimber that Mr . Slaney made a very powerful speech in the jHduse of Commons a few , ; weeks- back , ; relative to the necessity of a National System , of . Education in ^ &is countary . He sho ; wed >| bjiti ^ iwentyyeara ;( from 181 . 0 to 1830 , ) ihe comrjjittajs for crime " had increased four-fold , while the population ; h . ad / only increased tnirty-twb ; per cent . ; pl 8 inly ; proving toe va ^ fc incre as e of crime .

      He went on to shpw tae Increased cphsumptipn of spirits 1 lie spoke relative , to the ignordiice of the children employed in the large manufacturing towns . According to the returns made by ] Vir . Homer , the Factory Inspector , it'appeare ^ from examination of the children of the ages of-thirteen and fourteen years , that there were of tlie boys 49 | per cent , who could not read , and 67 per cent , who could not even write tbeif own names ; of the girls , there were 57 per cent who < x > uld not read , and 88 per cent , who could not -even . write their' own names . — Now G entlemen , these nre some of Mn Slaney ' s arguments for education . Now for my rehsons why I object to this mode of reasoning tirsU tlieu , tke

      employers in the large inanufacturiug towns have reduced the wage ^ pt" the labourer to such an ekteiit that the poor nian is compelled to seiid his children to the mill in order to gain a subsistence for themselves , at tbe early pgo of seven , eighty and nine years , and these have to " ¦ yrp . rk very long hours . All tliis the father-: s compelled to . do , tlu-pugb want of means < of subsistence . The worlung man has rip protection against the avarice and cruelty of the capitalist , and hence it follpws that be must nither work at the master ' s terms , or go to the Poor Law Bastiles of pur county , which- treat poverty as a crime , ; and destroy the holiest feelirsgs : ol our . nature ; but , good God , why in this improved state ( so called ) are not Englishmen to beentmsted with the education of their own . children ? Such nncoutli iniquities

      makes honesty to blush at such infernal justice . Is there any wonder at the increase of criminality and ignorance ? Can any nuan be surprised at a . man , driveu > as meii are now to the most lamentable misery , going to the beer-house to forget liis niiseries for a while The plain ' and' unganiished reason ot all this ignorance and criminality is tlie labourer ' s want of bis eoual and legitiihate : right to- bare a voice itt . tlia . maldttg of tliose laws by v ; liicli b ^ is governed , and a fair rpmuneratipn for his .. labour Give unto the producingclasses-of " this .-country , the free and uufi'ttered nu ' , ancVeilual privileges , then , and not till then , may we expect nitppiness and contentment . Justice and honesty is whnt the large bulk of the people want , not education iuui slavery ; but I ani afraid we shall have to use the words pi the poet , and say , . . , .. '

      TO THE EDITORS OF THR NORTHERN STAR . Gk . \ tm ' . mex , —I observe the capitalists very generally . inculcating the opinion , that the working people are better ony * rnd living more comfortably in their respective neighbourhoods ' , than in aii y other partof the kingdom , although , at the samo time , they are seizing every opportunity of reducing the wages of the labourCTs , and also the scanty . allowance of the pauper , until myriads of the workers , and thousands of the j ? aupers , are actually reduced . to the lowest state of destitution;—in proof of thisf I'll tell you a story founded on fact . One day last , week , a poor woman came to me , and stvit ? d , tnat her husband about live months ago , had left Oldham , in search of emnlovinenti leavina

      her-and five children in Oldhaih—three of which children were able to do Some work , but that sickness had seized some of her children before Christmas , and still kept possession of them , so that at present , there was only one at work , whose wkge was six shillings a week , to maintain : six : of themv two of whom were sick . I then asked her ^ how she had contrived to live under such rircnifistaiices , when shesaid , she had not applied to the overseer , ( being Irish ) hut she had sold and pawned every thing she could , and that her resources were now entirely exhausted ; that she had already resorted , to the expedient , when she had nothing else to gire them , of boiling a quantity of .. watery and letting it coolj until they cfluld drink ' ¦ .. ¦ it i- to allay the pains of hunger .. Sha further ¦¦ ¦ stated , ;; that she oo \ v understood , if hW husband was in tlldhanni , he coald have

      employment , and , therefore , she was qdjte anxious to write , to him , but did riqt Hno'vir : -. ly > jir to direct to him . Shefurther said , sha'had li ^ en . told ) that I conia cause a jparagraph to be ihise ' rfed'in' some paper or papers , which ? v ^ W'fihd'hmj' / aria ^^ particularly anxious the experinieht ^ ho ^ ld ^ miide ^ Itpld'ber- .

      Set about yourselves to do your own business— - call Ward meetings of the working classes—aud as many of the middle and higher classes as have the cause of humanity and justice at heart . Select persons as candidates from each ward in the same ratio as you choosy your councillors according to the hum ]) ers > wanted , who will pledge themselves to frustrate the designs of the three monster Kings of Somerset-house , in making' the poor of England live on a coarser sort of foorf , and be imprisoned in a CInion Bastile for the unpardonable crime ^ of being Ebor—a crime caused by unjust laws which yon avehad iib voice in making , but which have been nrade by _ a class of men who , I am sorry to say , have not the interests of the 'toiling -lnillioris at heart . What consblatirtn Would it : ha to aii innocent man

      condemned to die whether the High Shenfr or Jack Ketch was to De-Ms executioner , so long ns that man was conscious of his innocence ? And what matters it to you whether -Whigs , " Tories , or Sham-Radicals be elected for guardians if their intentions are to canry that infamousi piece of expensive machinery into operation to destroy the lives , liberty , and comforts of the unfbrtuiiata . poor of those districts , who , r am happy to say , have heretofore received that care arid attention in most cases which reilect credit and honour otv those to whose care that trust

      has been confided . They : will tell you it is not their in tendon to enrry : the . -measure ' to the fall extent in this part of the conn-trjr . But , my iriends , do not believe themdo not let them rivet " the chains of slavery on your necks , for when once fastened they are not very easy to be shaken off . How am you , bear -thathoughts of being-separated in the hour of noed from the partner of your joys and sorrows through life ? she who has smiled on you in the days oi . Vyb . ur prosperity , and h ; is been the- greatest consolation you could find in the hour of-adversity . For , it is said in the Scriptures , " whosbever God hath joined together let np mhii put' asunder . " Then , let not tho three monster Kings of Somerset-house , or their minions , set aside the :-Word , of God , nor outrage the feelings of justice-and humanity .

      ( Ju'rhtjiot the poor man who has paid poor-rates for forty or fifty years to have as great a claim to parochial relief ( withoxit being subject to tbe Btistilo and Trpittlmill system ) as if he had paid iiito a sick socrety for the same period ? For , what can we call it but a fund laid up to fail buck upon in the hour of need . " Look at the poor , half-starved , emaciated handootn weavers v / lio are toiling twelve or fourteen hours-per day ( when he can get anything to .-toil at ) for a small pittance" that will scarce keep body and soul together .

      NEWGATE AND' LEADENHALL MARKETS , CMo ? JDA \ . ) Since this day se ' nnight we have received a lari ? e supply of slaughtered iueat from Scotland and various otlver . quarters , the quiility of which is tolerably prime . From Ireland the arrivals have consisted of upwards of tiOO slaughtered pigs , which is , we believe , the largest number received in one week during the present year . ' About 100 packages of prime pieces of Beiif and Mutton have been sent hither trom diffprerit parts , butchfclly from ,-Essex . The whole of the past week these markets have been Viruely supplied with London killed meat , with which the trade has been , on the whole , dull , but very little variation has taken place in the prices . This morning thesupply , though limited , was folly equal to the demand .

      JFiBE . —HaTing . witnessed the conflagration or a large toilding , intended-for a cotton store , belbnpng to . Messrs . Horrocks , MUler , and Co ., I cannot omit so seasonable an opportunity of offering a few appropriate remarks . So dreadful are the effects of fire , and so disasterous to the woriiog people -who axe thrown oBt of employment , that every effort should "be made to prevent or mitigate such ealamitieg . In the first place the fire engines , pipes , buckets , and every reqnisite should be in perfect repair , and accessible at a moment's notice . Ail the fire men should be perfectly sober characters , well trained to tiie work , and made acquainted with the situation of every supply of water in the town . The superintendent should be cool-headed , active , bold , and decisive , and ought to be obeyed in all his orders . These remarks apply ' only to large towns ,

      'bat I beg to offer a few hints in reference to all eases , whether in town or conn by . So soon as the alarm of fire is given , instead of running em fly handed as I perceive to be tne case generally ; let every person in the first instance furnish himself with a can , bucket , or any kind of vessel to carry water in . He may taie it from home , or borrow it on the road . By " a determined effort judiciously directed , many fires would be extinguished before much damage was done , and before the engines could be got to play . If the fire happened in the night as many as possible ought to take lanterns with them , which would be found exceedingly useful . Then , instead of . standing as idle spectators , or preventing the activity of others , by crowding together , er ' ery individual should exert himself to the utmost of his power . This is but doing what he would wish others to do for him in a similar circumstance . How

      deadtotven humane , every generous feeling , must those be , who , regardless of their neighbour ' s property , and of tne loss which society at large must sustain , look on with indifference , or turn the conflagration irito a sport ! Still more base and wit-ked are they who take advantage of the confusion and exposure of property to pilfer , and carry off such articles as they can conceal , belonging to the unfortunate person ? whose property is being destroyed by the flames . It is gratifying , however , to notice on these occasions , the activity and courage of many others of an opposite class . I have frequently noticed not only the working people , but persons in tie highest ranks of society , exerting themselves in a most praiseworthy manner . "What a gratifying

      reSection it must be to all sueh . to know that they Tinve assisted in preserving valuable property from destruction , and scored to many poor families that employment by which they earn their bread . It would be well always to ascertain the causes of fires , and tp have them frequently jmblished in a regular list ,, that they might be constantly remembered . Twelve hou .-t-sin one street including a valuable inn , were "h-arncd dawn in London , not long ego , through a drunken man , wlio slept in r . crarret , taking a candle to bed . The loss of the Ben Sken-o'l steamer which took place wLiie racing with the Prciin ' r , on her p ^^ ajreirom ^ s ew Orleans to Louisville , and by wh : ch 1 / 5 per . -on * , r-rnidst horrible sufferings forna

      a watery sr ? ve , is ; , m . of recent occurrence . A tarrel of irhiskey v . -as on the deck , from which the sailors were supplied , to sdnrclaie ilit-m in the race , till by the extraordinary beat of ihe bofler , the vessel too ' i fir ? . Indv-d , I have no doubt , if thv cr . uses could alwavs be traced immediate and reiuct ? . that three-fourth ? , if not more , af the losses ny fir ,.-, are to be attributed to ihe use of intoxicating liquors . The Jire of alcohol not only burns up ve = ss !« , r . r . houses ,. 33 d streets , but c-on ^ ume ? the vitals of about 30 , 009 of oi : r countrymen every year . [ The nbove excellent and appropriate remark ? are by Mr . Livesey , tie uiented nnd benc-volenr Editor of the Moral Rffirmer . It -rrould he we . ] for society ii thev Wt-re uciver-nliv atrendeJ t « x ]
