      ASHTOir- USDEB-IiTH'fi . CONSPIRACY OP . THE COTTON - LORDS AGAINST THE OPPRESSED FACTORY OPERATiyE 3 . Tola town sad neighbourhood { to much notei for the iyrariny and oppression practised by the Bf jH-ownera o ^ er tie pool factory daves ) is threatened again with a eneral strike for wages . It is a well-known fact , that the markets connected ¦ with the cotton manufacture hare for s ome time back fceen much more " healthy -than they y / ere wont to be . Such being the ease , the workmen ba . ve com © to the conclusion ( and justly so ) that they , hr / ring had to suffer from the ^ 'badnesi of trade " , oujgr A now to teap a Efctte of the benefits . waning from Its revival . They tars , fiierefore , requested Uwir exn ^ ployeo to give tkem tfcat"wtuc >» they promised at the last Ted « ctioo , TiSL , aa advance of l | i per cat , —toiVTwing ' tbe amount taken from the wearers on that o jcasiOD .

      The factory operatives 'were , however , determined that they would not be frightened out of their rights , sod knowing that the hands of Mr . Wood , of Glossop , jj » Te obtained an advance of one : penny per cut upon 27 > inch d » tb , nineteen picks ana twenty-nine yards long , being la . per cot now paid for this kind of fabric , Obey agrees , that a paKSg "meelang of weaTBa and esrd-room hands ihonld be called , those being two of Jhe wont paid branches of factory labour , to take into consideration the statements put forth by the masters . A bill was jTnTT » arHnt *» Ty drawn up , and posted through the town , which ran as follows : —

      •« PtjBiic Noticb . —As it cannot escape obserration th&t the " manufacturers of Ashtonnnaer-Xyne and its xieighbonrhood are labouring nnder great excitement , in consequence of the operative power-loom weavers and eerd-loom hands seeking an advance of wages , knowing at the same time that they hare sufficient profits to giTe an advance , we , the operatiTes . are as anxious to prevent all the inconvenience and suffering of another torn-out as our employers , as we are the . greatest futTerv" in the end . But still we are determined to have an advance , believing that it will benefit both masters and operatives . The manufacturers say that the State of trade will cot allow an advance of . wages ; but ire know it to be a fact , and are able to prove that they are receiving from is . tola . 3 d . per cut more than they were eighteen months ago ; and some of them are manufacturing more than 1 , 000 cuts per day , which -srffl amount to ftom £ 15 , 000 to £ 20 , 000 per year , scd they have "Hie assurance to issue a placard stating thai the state of trade will sot allow them to give us

      lack the last reduction . " Our masters state that the rate of wages In other district * will not justify them in giving an advance . We again refer them to Glossop and several other ^ isfcrkis , who have an advance , and are now paying sore ¦ than they are in this district Our employers state that they are willing to redress our grievances ; The following are a few of them : — " 1 st—We want our wages weekly . ** 2 nd—Some of our employers make ns pay for shuttles , windows , and machinery which may happen to get broken or worn oat , and charge ns for them , which we have no right to pay , as it is not our mschinery , neither is it our fault " Srd—Onr employers torn Cuts on our hands for prbtended faults , asd make ns pay more for them than the market price .

Beyners , OJ Beyners , how often have you fceen the first to rednce wages , and sow yon are taking a most conspicuous part to prevent an advance .

      The public meeting eallfti by the placard . sent oat by 4 « Operatives was very numerously attended , and was ^ dressed by Mr . R Pilling and others as to the course Hny ought to pursue . ^ notwithstanding the intimidating placard put forth Iftfee iDH-ownera , the weavers of Messrs .

      PROGRESS OF THE IRISH REBELLION . Since we last wrote , a True Bill has been found against the Irish Repealers ; and all thingB for the present appear to progress in that systematic manner in which Statute Law can be warped to the performance of those duties to which its wielders desire to direct it . Thrust and counter thrust ; hit and counter hit , has been exchanged ; the respective expounders and mystifiers of the law appearing equally resolute . But as the intemperate and overanxious swordsman is no match for a cool and deliberate antagonist , neither does the babbling Mr .

      T . B . Smtth appear to have any chance with the cool , the judicious , and discriminating Jonathan Hejtk . If the country was not likely to pay dearly for the farce now enacting in the Court of Queen ' s Bench in Ireland , we could join in that merr iment , of which the Learned Attobnet-Uene--RiT . appears to be the very life and soul . But inasmuch as the liberties of some men , and the national resources are at stake , we cannot avoid stamping the conduct of the Irish Attornet-Genebal , with , thai deep and heavy brand of reprobation which it so well merits . We quite agree with the

      Times as to the mock sentimentality which distinguished the English crocodiles when shedding tears over their Chartist prey . We can recollect the embarrassment of plain J . Campbell , when In vain he attempted to read the lastletterof theimmortal Shell * And hypocritical though such manifestations were yet they evinced a solemnity , whether real or assumed , which may he considered a necessary portion of the paraphernalia of a court of justice , Mr . T . B , Smith , however , is of a different Opinion , and has therefore decided upon playing a different part .

      Should a verdict of " guilty" be the result howeven the country will then loek back upon the proceedings as a whole : and seeing the indecent manner in which they were commenced , it will be difficult to reconcile them to the result . The captious , the cantankerous , the unprofessional , and nngentlemanlike manner in which this legal Don Quixote has treated the Bench , the Bar , the traversers , and the public , has at once stamped him as wholly unfit to wield the great and important powers vested in him , not only in the present eventful crisis , but upon any , even the most unimportant , occasion .

      So glaring has been the rancour of this law officer , that even the Bench , three of whom are known to have a strong political bias in favour of w legitimacy , " has been put to the blush upon more occasions than one , and compelled to rule against the ArroBjrsf-GsKEBAL , without requiring to hear argument upon the other side . Meantime , while the storm lulls in the teapot , the hurricane continues to rage outside . Towns are being still garrisoned , and provisioned for & long siege . Our warships are still moored in our ports . The Chelsea pensioners are still being drilled . The loyal Protestants are being aecretly armed . Upon the

      side of aggression all goes merrily on ; while we hear scarce a breath about that Commission upon whose report the foundation of future tranquillity is to be based . There h&ve been bo many nostrums proposed for the tranqiulization of Ireland , that even allowing all to be good , it would puzzle the veriest sage to select from the lot . The Times , indeed , claims credit for being the terrier that roused the bull-dog to action ; and also for having propounded those means of redress likely to be satisfactory to all parties ; and it is our purpose very briefly to analyse the arguments , the assumptions , and the proposals of our contemporary .

      In the outset of the agitation the Times demanded as the remedy , a mere difference of action from that which marked Whig policy . That journal recommended the appointment of friends to the Tory Administration , as ft means of preserving Tory ascendancy ; to the end that the corrective power might be sufficiently strong to suppress the voice of complaint . Such was the first recommendation of the Times ; while in the estimation of its conductor there was not a single practical grievance existing throughout the land . n Travel north , south , east , or

      west , " quoth the Times , " and we defy you to meet a peasant , traveller , farmer , or tourist , who will be able to assign a single practical grievance as a cause of the present dissatisfaction . " As soon , however , as the strong Government did assume a- strong position , then the Times , always dissatisfied with every thing but itself , and anxious to hold the balance of power In Ireland as well as in Wales , began to speak of % redress of grievances , but more from a desire to hamper the Government than to see the object effected .

      In this field of coercive e pnciliation the Times has had a full summer's range . And upon Thursday last we were favoured with a digest of the long dream , with a compendium of the long history of this long-seeing journal . And what did it amount to ! Why , after having laid down a number of plans for the pacification of Ireland , —the most accepted of which was a rival State Church ; and just as the reader must have been in extaelei at the revelations by whieh permanent peace was to be so cheaply purchased , behold the magi clan wields his wand , strikes the centre , and down tumbles the fairy palace , leaving nothing to be seen amid the ruins , save these sad word * : This is our remedy , bat it is impossible to apply it . "

      However the Times may now find it convenient to defend its policy with reference to the Repeal agitation , to guess after action , and prophecy after event , yet we confidently restore t » predicate , that never in the annals of newspaper writing hat any journal ever yet presented such & junble of heterogenous absurdity , as the Times has npon Irish affairs . The Times appears perfectly satisfied with the master hand by which the military blow was struck In Ireland ; but like ouselves is disutiefied with the manner in which the legal arm has : boen wielded . The difference between us , however , is this : the

      objection of the Times is not so much to the conduct , as to the appointment of Mr . T . B . Smith as a part of Sat Robekt Phsl ' s Government ; while the ebjeot in praising the Iron Duke evinces nothing more than a desire to play off the spleen of the disappointed Lord AsHBCxxoju and thus , in the persons of the Dake and the Attorney-General , are the battles with Pho . and Ashbdbtoji fought . For our part however , we think there was equal ill-will , precipitancy , and ranepnr evinced ia the mode of commencing the proelamation warfarethat has

      , been since so charael « Ti « ii «« n- * vn j ¦ , i been since so characteristieally followed up in the Court of Queen ' s Beneh . Tery little donbt can now exist that public opinion has given a shock to Government inteation . And to that we Himst ascrib * the hasty } abandooaeflt of

      Untitled Article

      further proooedingB against the Repealers . We , as well as the Times , ventured upon a few predictionB relative to the ; Repeal agitation ; and one of which was , thai ft © conduct which the Irish Attobney GsKBaAL was certain to pursue , would be followed by the destruction of the Irish Government . To that predictioB we still adhere , well knowing that the administration of Lord Da Gbet is unpalatable to a majority of the English Cabinet ; while the appointment of Mr . T . B . Smith , who was obliged to fly to Ripon . a pocket borough of Lord De Geet's

      relative ' s , fora seat , has caused general dissatisfaction throughout Ireland . That Lord Eliot it ! preparing to take his stand with Sir Robert Pssl and the conciliative portion of the Cabinet , is manifest from his present inactivity . And perhaps no fairer opportunity could h&ve been presented to Sir Robert Peel , as a justification for flinging the rampant Irish Church party overboard ; and to that end we anticipate the recommendation of some such policy in the report to be laid before Parliament by the Irish Commissioners .

      Meantime the condition of Sooth Wales , the manifest tendency to a deoline in the English market , together with the non-intrusion question in Scotland , added to the increasing acts of incendiarism , all give earnest of an unquiet winter . Authority should draw no hasty conclusion from the present delusive calm . If Irish towns are garrisoned with English troops , it should be borne in mind that the most ) important towns in England are garrisoned with Irish hearts ; and in the event of the conviction of the Irish Repealers , we understand that it Is the intention of the Irish residents in Lancashire and

      Yorkshire , to convene a meeting of their own ountrymen in some central spot , to decide upon a petition to Parliament , of a memorial to the Queen , for their liberation . Such a step will not only be legal and constitutional , bat praiseworthy ; and will be rendered more effective by the peaceable and harmonious manner in which the assembled thousands and hundreda of thousands will be sure to transact their business . Such an example set by those two great counties , if the metropolis does not take the

      lead , would be sure to be followed by every district in England j thus verifying our oft repeated prediction , that England after all is the stage whereon Ireland ' s battle must be fought . Let us not be misunderstood . We do not mean a physical encounter between an unarmed people and an armed soldiery ; but we do mean that moral engagement in which the voice of knowledge must silence the cannon ' s roar , and the point of argument blunt the sharpest sword .

      Public opinion is now upon the stretch . The mind contemplates with horror the military preparations being now made for the subjugation of Irish liberty . We warn the aggressors against rousing the English lion , or driving the Irish who have sought shelter in this land to that desperation which would assuredly follow the announcement that the English award had been drawn against Irish liberty . The last Repeal campaign has put them in possession of more of their country ' s history than they were previously acquainted with ; and while it has taught them the wrongs they endure , at the same time it has informed them of the means they possess to redress them . The Irish are not like the neople of any other country . They can act as one

      man , when Ireland demands their co-operation ; while a traitor or approver is a thing seldom discovered in their ranks . They can live like hermitB : and die like heroes ! and we venture to predict that upon the very first announcement of a verdict of guilty , that that Irishman who ib known to smoke a pipe , to taste of exciseable spirits , or of any article from which duty was wrung to carry on the war of aggression , will be denounced as a traitor to his country . Every Irishman will soon turn his hovel into a temperance hotel , where neither coffee , tea or sugar will be used , or anything that will furnish the sinews of war ; and we believe that there Is not an Irish publican who would not vie in being the leader to surrender his trade , though ever so lucrative , upon the altar of his country .

      What chance , then , can a military force have against such a people ! And if the Irish , in their own land , only abstain from any act of violence , be the provocation ever so great , they may rest assured that their countrymen in England possess sufficient power , backed as they would be by the English working classes , to accomplish the freedom of their country . We have given copious reports ., of the manner in whieh justice was sought to be withheld from the Irish travereers , by the Irish Attorwev-Gemkbal . Thoee reportB will be read by every man , with dissust , while all will be prepared to receive a verdiot of " guilty , " should such be the the result , as an offering to one man ' s vengeance , rather than as the vindication of the offended law .

      THE CRISIS . We announced last month that it was the practice of monied men in the city to publish a monthly circular setting forth their views and opinions relative to the several securities in the investment of whieh they were entrusted by other parties . We then selected the circular of Mr . Thomas Alisgp for comment , and from it we exhibited the fact that that discriminating and talented agent looked to the cultivation of the laud as the only feasible means of

      escape from our present difficulties . His reasoning upon the subject w * 3 so brief , but yet conclusive , that we submitted the whole of that portion of his circalar to our readers . It was evident that the writer had drawn his conclusions from a general review of the whole system , rather than from any partiality that he entertained for an agricultural life . He has followed up his able circular of last month by one for the present which now lies before us ; md from which we beg to submit the following all-important paragraph . He says : —

      " The abundance of money so often noticed continues , though without any beneficial results . " The great source of national prosperity , beneficial and constant employment , has not been realizsd ; and though new markets are open in the East , there is reason to fear that the machine-producing power in this country alonb will far outrun any reasonable or probable demand , without much permanent benefit to the great bulk ot the population . It is q « ite evident to men of practical experience—to reflective observers , that great changes are inevitable , and , if not made by

      the Government , will be forced inta operation by the alterations which have taken place in the material condition of the population , by the rapid diffusion of useful information and Intelligence , and by the frightful anomalies which abound In our social system ; anomalies which are so numerous and of such frequent occurrence as to excite neither sensation nor remark from those exposed te their immediate operation . Ae the Sun , ere it i * risen , sometimes paints its image in the atmosphere , so the Bpirit of great change strides on befote the change itself , and in te-day is seen the morrow . "

      If we required any proof of the soundness of our own reasoning upon the general system , here we have it furnished by one whose business it is to direct capitalists in the investment of their funds . This review , at any time important , is doubly bo at the present moment , when the cry of a " renewal of trade" rwga in onr ears . We have printed the above extraet preoisely as we found it ; and let thoso who so loudly vaunt the mighty influences of "Fise Trade , " draw what conclusions they may from their own fanciful imaginations , they cannot get over the one emphasised word , * alone , " which , ia speaking of maohine-producing power , Mr . Allsop says , will " alone" far

      outran any reasonable or probable demand without much permanent benefit to the great bulk of the population . It is cheering to find mea of Mr . Alison ' s rank and talent looking to the rapid diffusion of information and intelligence , as a means of deatrojing those frightfal anomalies which abound in our soeial system . We would recommend our rulers to look upon the miniature of their condition , as presented by Mr . Allsop , indicative of that fall image iu the atmosphere whieh must , ere long , remind them of the havoc into which their mis-rule is harrying the nation . The principles of democracy it would appear , have not only forced themselves upon the consideration of the landed auct shop-keeping classes , but they are now beginning to find their

      Untitled Article

      way amongst that body , whose sole consideration ever has been the best and moat efficacious mode of protecting their own . peculiar description of property . The balance of opinion has alternated between Whig and Tory principles ; each being preferred in turn , according to the inducements for speculation and protection for gambling , that they could offer ; but we now find that to the employment of a ooasaming prodHoing power , and to that alone , the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange look for profit and security .

      We cannot conclude this brief notice of so important a subject , without tendering our best thanks to Mr . Allsop , for having thus sprung from his " order , " and thrown the weight of his talent and experience into the Labour scale . We are indebted to a correspondent for Mr . Allsop ' s circular ; and should this meet his eye , we would esteem it as a favour if , in future , he would transmit us an early copy , in order that we nay follow him in his train of reasoning ; and , if not requesting too much , we

      would hail with pleasure a more extensive commentary from his pen , upon all those matters connected with the monetary affairs transacted oa " 'Change " . He has now got fairly at the root of the great evil ; and no service can be greater than that which will enable the working classes to judge dearly and dispassionately upon the effect that the doings of this apparently dissociated section have upon all those concerns in life whioli mainly affect the comforts of the working classes .

I have bad occasion to meet with the friend who signs himself as above , since

      Saturday last ; and , after fall inquiry , and without wishing to do injustice to any one , I have no hesitation in saying , that the meeting got up in the Pottery was got up at the bidding of the masters , and that many of the men who gave acquiescence to the proceedings , did so fox the sake of their employment .

      FaiKNDS , —As we find that the spirit of Chartism has been once more revived , it is our duty to direct our undivided attention to the best mode of keeping it alive . And as we know of no plan so well calculated to serve that purpose as the dieaeminaiion of oar principles , we hare decided upott putting as many of the unemployed staff of Chartism as possible into action . ! On Monday next , two of our body start upon a missionary tour ; and we have further determined of availing ourselves of the assistance of the following lectures , Messrs . Leach , Doyle , Baita-Btow , West , Jones , Ross of Leeds , Gammage , Dotmon ot Nottingham , and Mason , who , together with the two of our own body , will give ns pleven able and active expounders of our principle * and advocates ot oar cause .

      TheterniB upon which vre purpose engaging these nine gentlemen are as follows : —They will have a salary of thirty shillings a-week—one pound to be paid by the General Treasurer out of the General Fund , and the reBoaining ten nhtlliagabj the Joealifcy requiring their iervioes . The monev from , each fund to be paid » week in advance , in order that our leeiwrert should hot , as has been too often the case , remain either wholly unrequited or irregularly paid . Each locality requiring the Bervioei of a lecturer to be at the expencejof his transmission from towa to town ; and the whole of the fends arising from collections at public meetings to remain as the finds of e * eh locality , j Each leotmrer will be supplied with cards of the Association , and will be expected to be active in the enrolment of members . Lecturers may be exchanged from time to time at the desire of the localities , and with their own

      approval ; and in all oases of exchange a fortnight ' s notice must be given to the General Secretary , in order that proper arrangements may be made with the several localities . As soon as we hear front the people of Cornwall , Mr . Doyle will be ready to proceed to that locality ; while in the meantime we invite a correspondence with all other districts , relative to the proposed plan . As vre can only expect insertion for this notice in the second edition of the Northern St&r , we cannot expect any response from Sootland until after next week ' s publication , whea , if agreeable to our Scotch friends , they shall have their due share of lecturers . We have the pleaaaro to inform you that London is once more bestirring itself , and that feiaoe ear entrance upon office we have enrolled nearly JS . GOO members . Three of our body , Messrs .

      STATE PROSECUTIONS . —Dublin , Nov . U . Judge Burton sat at half-past ten o ' clock , to hear motions of course . After the disposal of some cases , including that of the Queen v . Samuel Gray , which was postponed till next day , the State Prosecutions came on . Mr . Whiteside—Tne parties in the case of the Queen v . O'Conuell and others were to appear in . person to-day , and the parties are in attendance

      now . Sir Column O'Loghlin—They are in attendance , my Lords , for the purpose of pleading , this being the last day . Mri O'Connell , accompanied by Mr . Daniel O'Connell , jun ., entered the Court , arid wa&fpllowed by the other travereers , namely , Mr . John O'Connell , M . P ., Mr . Steele , Dr . Gray , Rev . Messrs . Tyrrell and Tierney / 'Mr . Barrett , Mr . Duffy , and Mr . Ray . Mr . Forde—Mr . O'Connell hands in his plea , my Lords . Chief Justice—Mr . Daniel O'Connell .

      Mr . Forde—Yes , Mr . Daniel O'Connell , my Lord . Attorney-General—I would wish the Clerk of the Crown would state that plea . Mr . John O'Connell handed ia his plea . The other defendants handed in their pleas . Clerk of tbe Crown—Do you wish to hear those pleas now read , Mr . Attorney-General f Attorney-General—I do . Chief Justice—Are there any more pleas 1 Clerk of the Crown—There are none , my Lord , The officer then read the following plea : —

      IN THK QUEEN S BENCH CROWN SIDE . The Queen against Daniel O'Connell John O'Connell Thos Steele T M Ray John Gray Charles G Duffy Rev P J Tyrrell Rev T Tierny Richard Barrett And now the said Daniel O'Connell in his own proper person comes into the Court here of our Lady the Queen before the Queen herself and having heard the said alleged indictment read and protesting that he is not guilty of the premises charged ia the said alleged indictment or any part thereof for plea in abatement thereto nevertheless saith that he ought not to be compelled to answer the said alleged indictment and that the same ought to be quashed because he saith the said indictment heretofore toiwit on the 2 d day of November in the year of our Lord 18 | 3 to wit at the said court of our said Lady the Queen before the

      Queen herself to wit in the parish of St . Mark in the county of the city of Dublin aforesaid was found a true bill b y the jurors upon the evidenceof divera to wit four witnesses then and there produced before them and then and there examined by the jurors aforesaid and that the said witnesses then and there produced before and examined by the jurors aforesaid were nor was any of them previous to their and his being so exaamiued by the jurors aforesaid sworn in the said court of our said lady the Queen before the Queen herself according to the provisions of a certain statute passed in a certain session of parliament holden in the 56 th year of the reign of his late Majesty King George III . intituled an act to regulate proceedings of grand juries in Ireland upon bills of indictment to wit in the parish of St . Mark in the

      county of the city of Dublin aforesaid and he is ready to verify wherefore he prays judgment of the said indictment and that the same may be quashed and so forth . Daniel O'Connell . Mr . Forde—All the rest are the same . Attorney-General—Now , my Lords , I object to any of those pleas being received by the court ; and the court will of course allow me time until to-morrow morning , that I may be prepared to state at length the grounds on which I object to them . I don't conceive that at this stage of the proceedings the . party can plead in abatement , for if they plead in abatement at all , they shall plead that plea on arraignment , and ou being put in charge . But until I have on opportunity of looking into the pleas , I hope the court will not receive them , and that I shall have an opportunity of addressing the court ia the morning .

      Mr . Forde—The time for pleading expires tonight . Clerk of the Crown—They can be received as of to-day . Chief Justice—There is a similar plea tendered on the part of each traverser . Mr , Forde—Yea , my Lord , verbatim . The time for pleading expirea to-night , and we got no notice . Mr . M'Donough—Mr . Forde , wait awhile and leave it to counsel , if you please . Chief Justice ( to Attorney-CSerieral)—You wish the consideration of those pleas to be postponed until

      morning . Attorney-General—Yes , my Lord . Chief Justice- ^ Of course , Mr . Attorney-General , that must be without prejudice to the rule on the traversers to appear and plead to-day . They have appeared and put in a plea ; and ! whether that be a valid or invalid plea , it is to be taken as if that plea were put in now . Attorney-General—Of coarse , my Lord , they tender that plea , ; now , if the eoart be ultimately of opinion that it is a proper plea to be put on the

      file—Mr . Hatchell—The way I conceive the case stands at present is this—The party came in within th » limited time for pleading , and gave in his plea . That plea was read , and the other pleas are exactly in the same words for all the parties . I conceivethat plea is now put in , and on record . The traveasers seek no extension of time ; they have cooplied witn the rules of lav ? , and the terms of their recognizance . If the Attorney-General conceive those pleaa , or any of them , ought not to be receivad , they are open to objection , and his course will be to move to set aside those pleas on such grounds as he may be advised .

      Attorney General—Tnig is a matter that must h left to the discretion of the court . If those pleas ar « not pleas that they would be justified in putting in at this etage of the proceedings ; and if the course Mr . Hatohell suggests were pursued , the consequence would be this—I would have to serve notice to-morrow ; that notice could not be regularly moved until after to-morrow , and that will delay the investigation of that which ought to be investigated without delay—namely , the right of tie traversers to put in those please at this state of tbe proceedings . Mr . Hatchell—The court has already decided that a question arising ia these trials should not be debated without due notice . Such was the course adopted with respect to us . I concsive the Attorney-General will not be too late to serve notiee for after to-morrow . He will have full time to consider the bearing of the case , and to move to set aside tho pleaa , or to demur to them .

      Judge Crampton—And if it were convenient for the Attorney-General to state his grounds of objection now he might make his motion , and the court would let it stand until the following morning . The Chief Justice thought the matter was in th « discretion of the court , and that counsel ou either side ought not to interfere with that discretion . The court had bo right to , go into the case then if it would be inconvenient , and if no ends of public justice could be attained by it . It was , he co » - ceived , in the discretion of the court to postpone it until the following morning , the parties having tendered their pleas .

      Mr . Whiteside—That , of course , is between tht Crown Counsel and the court . We are not bound to appear on . that notice . Mr . Fitzgibbon—Suppose the Ckrart shall determine to-morrow that those pleas are not in time as pleaa in abatement , the time to plead to the merits lapses . But if the Court now determine it , the traversers are now in time to plead in bar . But if the Court ptatpone that consideration until tomorrow morning , it is only right that to-morrow be considered as to-day ; and if the Court wiil determine to-morrow that those pleas are not ia time , all we want is , that the plea in bar shall be received to-morrow . Attorney-General—When that matter is discussed to-morrow , that and the other circumstances of th « case will be under the control of the Court ; but I trust that nothing will be anticipated or deoided to-day .

      Chief Justice—The traversers are mot to be prejudiced by the matter not being further discussed to-day . Mr . Whiteside—There is no decision calling upwi ua to appear on the part of the traversers , so yon may argue it yourselves . Mr . Henn—I submit that by the eourse the Attorney-General asks the court to take , we are deprived of a benefij ; which we are entitled to—not a benefit I would say , but a matter of right—and tie reasons assigned by the Attorney-General disclose ? that fact ; for if the jpleas were received now , ana there is no reason why they should not be received , the Attorney-General conceives id would be necessary to serve notice , and that that would cause delay . But if so ; it was a delay the party were entitled to ; that notice should apprise us of his reasons / or objecting to the pleaa . He complained of oui making a motion without giving him two days notice ; and is it not reasonable that jhe should w required to gire notice to us ?

      i ¦ i ii ^^^^ i in i i H THE QUESTIONS SETTLED AT LAST . WILL A REPEAL OF THE CORN LAWS BENEFIT THE WORKING CLASSES 1 AND IS O'CONNOR IN THE PAY OF THE

      TORIES ! At length and at last these questions are set at rest . They are completely settled ; placed beyond the power of doubt or disputation . They have agitated men ' s minds for a long period ' They have caused much discussion ; more dogmatism ; and no small amount of ill-feeling and bad blood . All this however ia now at an end . The finisher is given to it all .

      The cry that " O'Connor , is in the pay of the Tories" has been most industriously circulated . It was in the mouth of every Corn-Law Repealer , the moment that O'Connob ' s name and doings were mentioned . It mattered not that the accusation received an emphatic denial . It mattered not that proof was challenged aud demanded . It mattered not that no one ever attempted to giro even a shadow of proof . It mattered not all this : the accusation was still generally bandied about .

      Now this did not suit some of the Barnsley Repealers . They were anxious to know whether there were any foundation for the aoousation or not . They knewithat they had no proof of ifc themselves ; and they , therefore sought for it from one who would necessarily know , if the thing were even so . In the neighbourhood of Barnsley there lives one who can " read the BtarB" ; one who has the power

      to open the book of fate , and tell both what has happened , and what is to happen . His power to do this ia well known . His judgment , with his means of information , is known to be infallible . He was never kaewn to be wrong ; and he has been consulted in oases of emergency and weighty importance by thousands of individuals . Indeed he is known in the entire neighbourhood as

      West , the Wise-man . To yAw man the Corn Law Repealers resolved to appeal . He could cut the Gordian knot . He eould tell , if any man on earth could ; he , who knew all things , past , present , and to come . Accordingly a Mr . Leadspohd , with two brothers of the name of Hunt , and a few more , from Worsbro ' Common , repaired to the seer . Arrived there , and being duly ushered into the presence of the Wise-man , they detailed their errand . Their minds were disturbfld . They were anxious to know the truth ; the ? knew he alone could tell them .

      Was Feargus 0 Connor in the pat of xhb Tories ! The Wise-man retired . He entered his study . He put on his considering- ^^ . He consulted the stars . He asked the question of fate ; and , having got his answer , he returned to the querists . All was breathless anxiety . The 0 ro « fcopened his lips . He pronounced . The words were ;—" NO . O'Connor is not in the pay of the Tories . "

      Here was a stunner ! As it was however * from the book of fate itself , the Repealers received the information with all-becoming acquiescence . They next essayed another trial of the Wise-man ' s wisdom . They put it to him : " Would a Repeal of the Corn Laws benefit the working olaiiei f " Again he retired . Again he consulted the tarry heavens . Again he received his answer ; and again he imparted it to his inquirer * . Tke answer was f—

      " Alt * under Existing Circumstance * . " This was % finisher . The poor League men were done for . It was death to all their hopes ; all their aspirations . The dictum they dare not dispute . It was truth from the lips of the wisb . Their own poor notions were surrendered at once ; and they departed wiser and better men . Before leaving , one of tho party had another

      striking proof of the means of all knowledge , on the part of the Wise-man . Recollecting that his garden had been lately robbed , he told the circuouianee , and wished to know who bad committed the depredation . The Wise-man ; went to consult . On his return , he named the thief ; and the querist * retired to their homes , perfectly satisfied that the Oracle had spoken truth .

      Thus , then , these knotty points are set at rest ! Who , after this , will dare to assert tbe troth of the pay-of-the-Tories accusation ! or augur good frojo a repeal of the Corn Laws !
