      My t ± st 3 > xis Tsjexss , —I wish I could with common decency wish yon " a merry Christmas aid jjjjappT jjewvear ; " but 1 cannot mock you in your poverff , and shall therefore set about the eonsidera . ion as to how yonr condition may be improved . I ke ^ jere there , is enough of land in England , and eEPncn of labour to be applied to that land , -which ¦^ obU give eTery husbandman a good cottage and thetTfdl fireside , vrhere eaeb femily might spend a * - Berrv Christmas and a happy new year . " In ikci ,

      ± a . xe no doubt Gn the subject ; and my justification for the agitating coarse I have pursued shall ever be , tin : 1 hare gone in pursuit of a substantial reality , isriead of running after the mere shadow of a boon . Prt-m 5 rst * o last ] have told you , that if the land ira > once locked bj > , and could be kept from the wt > rklE £ classes , although England might hare an exi ^ iTe pai « n ior manufacturing eTerythins xhst aa-, used lw everybody in the whole -world , yet that I wnM skrndon politics in despair .

      i think , that is . going as far as the most ardent Free Traik-ri-aa desire ; aad yet could their hope beTe&lised ro fat exrent , aD the trade in the worli -would no t cfcujx'oate the working-classes for the loss of that t . Ti . T raw iutirul to which individual-labour can . U- applied . 3 do not boast of being a " first prinelj . V man ; but , nevertheless , 1 go very far back in sean-h ni truth ; and I find lhat very single la-wmade It man to circumscribe that right to the land vrhieh the Almighty has equally conferred upon all , ias bad a tendency to cause strife , and ill-mil amonest men :

      to create dissentlon amongst classes ; to increase poverty on the one hand and riches on the other to a dangerous and unbearable extent . I know it is Terr-diffieult to persuade mechanics , and blockprinters , and compositors , painters , and glaziers , and such like , that the improvement of the land can have anything to do with the improvement of their condition- For a couple of years the free exportation c ? machinery has led to the employment of mechanics : but in this trade -we have a striking instance of the result to which complete Free Trade must lead

      We had "hands' enough to have supplied the ¦ K-hiile demand for complete machinery , but perhaps to a tardily ; and thereforej as the best advantage avm the new market must arise from the ability of lie earliest means to supply the demand , vre find iBirhlnerj almost as generaOv applied to this ileseriptkii of manufacture as to any other . 17 e find machi _ ten improved for manufacturing tools to be worked inszezm ; and we find mere youths directing this new jEiciineTv triili an almost iiienedible exactitude . Ut-re , tliea , ** a new channel , " as the political economic weald say , was open to labour , and in a-directk'E which , if their calculations were true , mast

      Eeofcsaarily lead to such a competition for the labour cf mechanics as would make them masters of their own labour market . Machinery was of all others a commodity , in procuring which the foreigner would be lavish and ^ extravagant . The first cost of a piece -of good maeMxterj is to the manufacturer JTist what the prime cost of a good cowls to the dairyman , or 2 srst-rate hunter to the sportsman . In fact h is matter of comparative insignificance ; and I venture to assert that a free trade in machinery , had not machinery been made by machinery , would have raised the raie of mechanics -wafres to a fancy price : SE < 1 justly . The value of r ^ jv thins .

      Is jest exacdy what it ^ Il bring . Ib Fueh tr&tSe , indeed , "we liave a perfect illustration of the reciprocal advantages of " buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market . '' We 5 ml then that tTiis serw channel being opened , has led , in man-r cases , to the substitution of the labour vi ant youth for that of rwenty men , and to the employment of app / entices instead of journeymen , for whose trade and education a larse premium had been paid ,

      a * well as seven years spent in learning the cralt . IS ' trli'now , who , ¦ thirty years ago , would have believed list machinery would make machinery \ and who , is the year 1817 , when the the poor Iland-loom TTeaTers "were -destrovinsr "the great « nemy against tcjk ^ a »? aanl ts ti ^ Govormcn : would not protect them , wo-jld have believed that in 1 S 44 the mechanics would have discovered that they had been creating a ~ z ± t comj-etitive power , capable of rendering their iibour a surplus snd a drus in toe market i

      Now 1 take this craft as an Illustration of the value of ilelastl . as well a ? of the difficnliy of getting such trades to bend theirminds to the consideration of the s-b : jeet . 1 take mechanics , because they are perhap > liie best instructed trade ; while as a body , they are beyond all comparison the meet self-relying . self-eonndeDi , and self-sutncient : in iact the proudest , tlie mu-i intolerant , and the very -worst politicians . 1 ST-tsk of them as a body : of course there are some iii-Eonrableexceptions ; but being a very important body , asa holding a great sway among trades , and tbr co-operation of the trades being almost indispensabl ^ To the success of de mocratic principles , I nave elected that trade to establish the fact that a verv

      great difficulty existed xa bnngmg the mind of the - * ..-rking clashes to bear upon the landed question . 3 Lave ever pursued the very same course with refi ^ ct to sfK-iai improvement that 1 have pursued as retards iH > Jitjt-al improvement . I have not vexed my ttictl . or troubled your thoughts with farmer 1 quciri .-r . - ¦ j-uch as fixity of tenure , compensation for O 2 tiay , w as to whether landlords or tenants—in many ta * * . the tenants more independent than the landlord ?—< ha 3 make the required improvements . 1 ii-ie tot i-ontended for feeding the labourer npon

      pheaants , partridges , qnails , and hares , in preference to beef , and mutton , and pork 3 and bread , and buiitr , and cheese , and milk , and vegetables of bis Bwii growth and production . My consideration has bct-n , & \ c > the be ; t means of procuring the land , aco-rdiug to the excellent principle laid down in the vookery books : irii catch your hare , and then dress ll as you like . So 1 say of the land : first get " the land , Mid then cultivate it as you like . The fixity of tti . un- * jusetum , the drainage question , compensa-* ut » n ijutstion , and acrienltuial ^ hows , are all matters

      witli « Livh neither you nor I have anything whatever to do . Nothing under heaven . The question sf tbe Game Laws is a grievance merely snatched sj' by the Free Traders to annoy landed proprietor * : no person can more thoroughly condemn the Game Laws , root and branch , than myself , ^ o pa per ias gone farther to expose their injustice and immorality than the yorttiern Star ; and yet 1 iierer TrOuld originate , or join in any one-sided agitation , intended as a fresh crutch for the limping League . TTe have two great questions before

      usthe jueaiis and the end : -die achievement of political power as the means , and the attainment of the land as the end . In deference to some enthusiasm , partial ignorance , and not a little cunning , coming from vsr f = x rinks , 1 was compelled to place the land ^ Otaioii for a time in abeyance , rather than furnish tin- growlers with any , the slightest , pretext for vituperation , 1 sowed the seed in good soil , and watered i : - with the fertilizing influence of reason ; and , that h fell hi a good soil , is abundantly proved by the et-ntiiicoijs communications poured in from all parts of

      the conniry t > n the subject , all evincing the strongest desire to see the question incessantly agitated and kept beftre the public mind . In compliance then " ¦ stL tLat demand , wiieh las now become so general , 1 fchali- shortly resume tie subject of the land : concluding tMs letter by an endeavour to impress on the ami of my readers the means , the only means by which the working classes can be insured a Merry Christmas and _ Happr 2 few Tear .

      Merry Christmas and a Happy . New Tear back : in short , to bring us back to the good old times . While 3 have always joined in the just appeal for the restoration of Frost , "RTQlianis , Jones , and Ellis , I have never been weak « ioiurh to lead you to the hope that they would return until you yourselves brought them back . They are there ; and there they'll remain until the Charter brings them back ; or , at all events , until we get twenty Chartists ; into the House of Commons ; and then I dosay that with t he power that body would receive from without , your prayers for their returns must an d would be granted . I hare always found fault with the League for going xo work without the ueceasary tools : aod 1 tell you now , that if you are as sincere as I believe von to be'in vour desire for the

      return of Frost , Williams , Jones , and Ellis , the only possible way that yon can achieve that object , is by getting twenty Chartist members into the House of Commons , who will ] sit with the Speaker and rise with the Honse , incessantly dinning their names , together with the Charter and the Land , into the hig _ of the nation . Let us then , —and mind , J dont ask you to distinguish 1 S £ 5 by increased supplies , although heaven knows we want them , and ought to have them too ; but I do ask yon , as your enemies are in . venting new machinery every day , to set about" the manufacture of that machinery , which will produce health , wealth , peace , prosperity , and

      happiness—THE VOTE . I highly approve of letting your enemies see that , in good trade and bad trade , yon are not forgetful of the exiles : but I would rather see your mind < directed to the accomplishment of means to effect their restoration ; and as I know Thai 1 have the unaninaops concurrence of the Executive "with me on this subject , I close the old year by imploring you in each and every locality to devote your whole , your nn tiring , your incessant consideration to the registration of Chartist voters dnrinsr the vear 1845 .

      Whata jubilee we shall have—what rejoicing will nil the land , if upon the next struggle we can secure the return of fromjtwenty to thirty Duncombeites . ' Then indeed may Labour begin to hold up its head ; and then may we proudly point to our band of patriots and say , behold the miniature of that power , the exexistence of which you have so long denied , but to the omnipotence of which you must now lend a pliant ear , and to whose every demand your answer henceforth must be , Yea , instead of nay . This is the best Christmas-box that I can offer you at the close of the ir-aldn > j year . 1 am , your fond and affectionate Friend , And faithful and unpaid Servant , Fxabgis O'Coxson .

      TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHARTIST ASSOCIATION . Fjuetm , —li we have effected no other good since our appointment to office than the allaying those bickerings which were , previously , of frequent occurrence , wehave done some good . As we have set our iVwes against the system of prrrare lefter-writiflj :, formerly so prevalent , and always so pregnant with evil consequences , we beg , in justice to the Chartist body , to ourselves , our correspondent , and l > r . M"I > ouall , to publish the following , which , although not ssrfften officially to the General Secretary , yet comes from so pure and good a source as leavtrs n <» doubt whatever of its accuracy , and as little of the propriety of answering it , without travelling beyond that branch of the subje-t referred to by our correspondent , who is well known to us all , aijd whose name can be furnished to any parties who are anxious to be put in possession of it . Here we beg . to hi ^ erz that part of the tetter to which we refer : —

'i-Hlirv of uniting the two nations upon an ? subject . VY « IcOd him , that if those were the views he held , he «<> iJJ not do for the pcor te of Glasgow , nor for the people of

      Scotland generally . He said those had been the doctrines ise lux < 2 preached in all places he had visited , and the people- agreed with them . 13 e then spoke of establishing a newspaper in Scotand , Glasgow to be the centre , aud forming a national as .-ociation for Scotland , making , of eoarsc , Glasgow the centre ; and that he had the offer of moaej for esta . blish . ing the paper , bnt not quite enough . TVe saw his riews with reyard to what tht papermight dobut we iotallj disagreed with the rest of his views . He then asted bow strong the association was in Glasgow . TTe said eight hmiidred . "By God , jou are doinp welithere is not a jjiaee in £ n ^ l ^ nd tlra-t lias wi- buu dred intmbers , was the rejih . Vfc then asked how his touithrough Scotland would pay him ; he said he had onlj received 12 s . for his lectures m Carlisle , and that it cost

      him £ 3 from that to Eilmarnoek . He had received but little there , and his expenses in Irvine cost him £ G . 1 said there was no use in dectdving him ; 3 ind that ne mi ^ ht consider nimself a luckj fellow if be wtnt out as rk-h as he came in , and that I believed he would not do more than pav his expenses . He said if that was the case , and as ht had not another sixpence to lose , his best way was to leave Glasgow for Liverpool , as he would get there for &s ., and he instructed me to write to Dundee and Aberdeen ac cordinglv . . Sow if the Eii-cntire knew he held those opinions , as be says they did , they were surely much to blame , in sending a man to undo what they had been paying for being done . I hope 1 have been looking at the worst side of tie picture , and that it may not turn out so bad for us as mj fears Jed me to suppose . In reply to the above we have simply to say that the Executive is not chargeable with any act of Dr . M'DoualTs , inasmuch as he was not appointed or

      even recommended as a lecturer by them , as our correspondent appears to suppose . Dr . M'Donall is lecturing exclusivelv on his own account ; and , as far as w . e know , is not lecturing for the Chartist cause . "We deny , however , that the Executive was in possession of Dr . M'Douall ' s present opinions as stated by him to our correspondent ; and , even if they had , thev -would have allowed correction to come from the proper source—public -opinion . We doubt , however , that the Doctor has made a just estimate of the character nf his countrymen , if he supposes that the way to insure their support is by depreciating their fellowlabourers in England .

The parties apcased were > L Petiet , the chief engineer of the railroad ? and Sehoor and I > ufresne , engineers . The court was extremely crowded on both days ; and on the second day the pressure occasioned " so much disturbance , that the President was obliged to call in a picket of gendarmes to restore and keep order . AD the persoas injured by the accident were present , except the unfortunate conducteur , Dry , who , on bis nameTbeing called , was announced to be dead , from the new accident which occurred on the same railroad on Monday last . Another conducteur who had his jaw broken , appeared with his face

      in bandages , and excited great interest and commiseration 3 JL Petiet was charged withnot having given sufficient notice of sending off an extra train after eight o ' clock at night , it being the fete atMeudon , and from which neglect the accident arose . Dufresne was accused of having moved with his engine at an excessive degree of speed , and thereby contributed to the disastrous consequences ; and School- of having neglected to obey in due time the signals made of there-being an obstruction on the road , and continued the rapidity of the motion of the engine till it was too late " to preTent it from coming in contact with the other train . After hearing the witnesses , who urere numerous , iie pleadings of M .

      Poisomsg . —The Court of Assizes of the Basscs-Alpes , was occupied on the 9 th and 10 th of December with the trial of a woman named Audifiret , for poisoning her husband on February 1 st at Cardanime The deceased was a farmer living unhappily ¦ with his wife , - who at length took him off by poison . The proof of the crime turned principally on the evidence of Pierre Doniiaud , the cure of the parish , who declared that the deceased had stated to him on the evening of his death , with full details , the mode in which the prisoner had given him the nolson . The

      witness had gone to administer to the deceased the consolations of religion , and it was shortly afterwards that be thoucbt he should not be performing his duty to society unless he made a declaration of what the deceased had confided to him . After this witness ' s evidence , it was proved by medical men that the body ! when disinterred aud tested by Marsh ' s apparatus ) was found to contain a considerable quantity of arsenic . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty , with extenuating eireumstauceSj and the court condemned the prisoner to sixteen years' hard labour and exposure on the pillorv .

      SPAIN . The Sons or Zvueaxo .- —A curious Iact is mentioned in a letter from Yittoria of ihe 16 th . Amongst the grounds assigned by the partisans of the Spanish Ministry for tlic execution ofthe two sons of Zurbano , it was stated that they had addressed letters to various wealthy persons demanding money , and threatening death in the event of a refusal . * Three innkeepers of the environs of Salvatierra have l > een arrested on various churgesof robberv in th *> jtrm-iji'v ot Alava , ami it appear ? , from what has ahvady transpired , that they were the authors of the letters bearing the forged signatures of the two Zurbanos .

Gonzales Bravo has been > eiii on in all haste to his post as ambassador at Lisbon , reckoning with confidence on his enerto to defeat any such intended movement . Orders have also been given to keep the strictest watch on the Portuguese frontier . Death of ihe celebrated El Pastor . —A letter from Yittoria announces the recent death in that town of General Jaureguy { El Pastor ) . After Mina aud the Emi > ecinado , El Pastor was the most

      celebrated amongst the guerula chiel 3 who , by the incredible and almost fabulous adventures , were made , even in their lifetime , the heroes of romance and melodrama . Jaureguy particularly distinguished himself during the wars in the Basque provinces , irom the death of Ferdinand VII ., in 1833 , till the 31 st August , 183 d , the date of the convention of Bergara . He was , like Mina , Merino , and Zurliano , one of those men of iron , who have little need of either sleep or food , and with a cigarette in their mouths , and a draught of water from the torrents , inarch twenty leagues a-day with a musket on their shoulders .

      HOLLAND . Destbcctive Fire . —Amsterdam , Dec . 19 . —Last night a destructive fire broke out on the premises of Messrs . De Yries , Ilobbe , and Beeke , extensive blacking and ink makers , on the Rustenburgerpad , in the parish of Jsieuwer Amstel , in this city . On account of the inflammable nature of the goods , the flames spread with frightful rapidity . Two of the city engines were soon on the snot , but no water could be procured for a long time , in consequence of the difficulty of breaking through the ice , a hard frost having again set in . All hopes of saving the building were soon at an end , and the efforts of the firemen were directed towards the adjacent houses , particularly to xhe residence of the Roman Catholic clergyman , which caught fire more than once .

      Luckily the wind , which during an hour or two had been very high , became gradually subdued , and the further progress of the fire was arrested . Only a small portion of the goods were saved . Another serious loss has befallen , in the same district , a number of poor people , who , during the prevalence of the irost , are in the habit of bringing quantities of turf over the various canals , 4 c , in sledges to the city , where they sell them at a small profit . The other night not ] ess than one hundred and fifty sledges were stationed on the ice on the outer Amstel . The weight of these conveyances , which were loaded with turf and other articles for firing , caused the ice ( which was not so strong as it had been during the few preceding days ) to give way , and forty-seven sledges , ¦ with their contents , were stink .

      PRUSSIA . E vjscctjon of Tschech . —A correspondent of the Journal de Francfort writes on the 14 th inst . from Berlin : — " To the great surprise of the whole capital there was found this morning posted up at all the corners of the streets an announcement by the criminal tribunal that the ex-burgomaster Tseheeh , condemned to death for having attempted to assassinate the King , was executed this morning at Spandau . The j « dgnient , which condemned him to be drawn on a hurdle and broken on the wheel , had been commuted by his majesty ' s clemency into simple decapitation . Never , in modern times , has any execution taken place with so little publicity . Under the present reign , no such executions takeplacein Berlin ; but for these purposes

      a spot is chosen near the fortress oi Spandau which is two miles from the capitaL Yesterday afternoon two squadrons ofthe dragoons ofthe guard , on duty within the city , received oraers to be ready to turn out at an unusually early hour this morning . One of these squadrons was posted near the Brandenbnrgh-gate , on the high road leading from Charlottenburg to Spandau ; the other waited behind Charlottenburg for the carriages with the criminal , to escort it to the fortress . The Governor of spandau did not receive notice of the intended execution till last evening . In a case like this the concourse of spectators , which on

      such occasions is always great , would have been immense if previously made inown ; but those present this morning were very few . Even the innabitants of Charlottenburg did not hear of it till after the return ofthe escort ofthe delinquent and the officers of justice ^ ' who nlled four carriages . Last night the chaplain' of the prison paidhis last visit to Tseheeh , who , as we learn from those who were in constant attendance upon him till the lastmoment , relied upon being pardoned , and when the warrant wag read to him he complained of having been deceived with false hopes . Neverthelessi he ascended with great courage the mound on -which he was to receive the

      fatal stroke . . 'His last thoughts and words were devoted to the memory of his wife , who bad been dwul several years , and to his only daughter , nineteen years of age , whom he has ' left Behind him . Fi-om the time of the arrest-of her father , she has been in kiild hands . One report is , that she was permitted last night to take leave of her father ; but other accounts stat ^ that , up to the present moment , she is kept in ignorance , not only of bis execution , but even of his condemnatioa , " The Journal des Bebats publishes tho following version of the execution , which , it will be seen , differs materially from the above account : —Froni a private correspondent , dated Berlin , 14 th inst . : — ' Last evening the President ofthe Criminal

      Chamber of the Tribunal-Of the First Instance , M . de Kleist , proceeded to the prison in which Tschech was confined , accompanied by the Baron Von Alvensleben , Assessor of the Chamber , and the Pastor Buttman , and announced to him that his execution was fixed for this morning . Tschech listened to ihe communication with the most perfect coolness , and replied in a low tone of voice , 'Very well ! very well ! ' MM Ivliest andi Alvensleben then withdrew , and Tschech remained alone with the clergyman , who never , quitted him until after the execution . He desired to see his daughter , which request was complied

      with . The unfortunate young woman did not wish to quit her father , but the fatal moment having arrived , Tschech coolly said to her , 'We shall see each other again Bertha . ' At four o ' clock this morning Tschech was conducted by a detachment of infantry and gendarmes to the fortress of Spandau . During the journey he tranquilly smoked his cigar . The execution took place before daylight , at half-past seven o ' clock , in presence of a few hundred-persons only . Tschech mounted t the scaffold with firmness . He undressed himself , and would not suffer the executioner ' s assistants to touch him . He tlien laid his head on the block . " SWITZERLAND .

      The Constitviionnel has the following remarks on the present state oi" affaire in Switzerland : — "The accounts we receive from Switzerland-confirm ' us more and more in the opinion that the events which are transpiring at Lucerne are but the prelude of a crisis which will , perhaps , place the actual constitution of Switzerland in danger . In spite of their sanguinary triumph , the partisans of the Jesuits are far from being assured . The Government of Lucerne appear to be fearful of the effect that a victory purchased so dearly , and in such a cause , cannot fail to produce throughout all Switzerland . There is no canton but nsay fear to see scenes enacted within it similar to those of Lucerne and the Valais . We have , however , good hope . The attitude assumed by a part of the population , and even by the Catholic clergy of Lucerne , proves that it is not a question as between Catholics and Protestants , but a question of liberty , which vill rally round it every independent and enlightened mind . "

Several persons , with , whom forbidden publications were found , have been thrown into irons , and several of them have been brought to J ' cyscra . ^

      MOROCCO . Gibraltar , Dec . 14 . —Events in Morocco are rapidlv progressing towards a crisis , and perhaps ere now that country is the scene of all the horroiij of a civil war . The people of" the province of Angera had , a short time since , materially injured or effaced Home of tlie land-marks of the lines of Ceuta , placed th /> rv \^ firro ih ^ ^ ratification of the treaty between Morocco and Spain . For ine pu-rj > o » c of preventing the continuance of 'finch practices , and of reinstating in authority the Sht » ik Kanjaa , the Lieutenant ( Jovcraor of Tangier sent lie Raid with 100 cavalry into the district . These troops having been found inadequate to restore tranquillity , have been obliged to

      ret ire , and the people declare that they will neither recognise the Kanjaa for Sheik nor accept as governor Cid-Booselham-Ben-Aly , whom the Emperor had appointed over that province . Many of the ncigh-Ijouring tribes have also declared their intention of making common cause with the revoltera , ; and in the province of Riffe , . which immediately joins Angera ( where the tribes are most warlike and indepencleut ) , ii is now almost certain that Abd-el-Kader has found an , asylum , and that he is at present there , instigating by * the great influence he possesses—an influence even paramount to the Emperor ' s—these disaffected tribes to bYeak out into open rebellion . We fear that we must shortly look for events of a most stirring nature in that countrv .

      i CORSICA . Ajaccio , Dec . 1 , 4 . —It is with regret that I inform you that crimes of the most horrible nature are daily increasing in the island , and that unless the government adopt , and that speedily , strong and efficacious measures , all the peaceable inhabitant 1 ? will be compelled to emigrate to foreign countries . The following singular affair has created so ranch sensation :-A person named Francois Bastianesc , attached to the Bureau de Sante , only thirty yeai-s of age , was accused with —first , setting fire to the house of his uncle and destroying all his ppoperty ; secondly , with endeavouring to murder his uncle by firing at him on the high road ; thirdly , with having assassinated his cousin and his mistress ; and , lastly , with attempting to murder the gensdarme sent to arrest him . Notwithstanding all the efforts to arrest him , Bastianese succeeded , not only in escaping to Sardinia , but

      caiTying with -him a Jarge sum of money . The French authorities , enraged at the escape of the bandit , used every effort to get hold of him , and having learnt from one of their spies that the murderer , on a given day , intended visiting Leghorn , application was made to the Sardinian police to arrest him . Bastianese , informed of the danger he ran , had the courage to quit Sardinia , on board the steamer Gulnari , and returned to Ajaccio with a false passport . By some means or other our authorities soon learnt that the culprit was in Corsica , and a formiil application was made to the captain of the Gulnari to deliver him up . The captain at first refused , and only consented on being threatened to fire on him from the citadel . The murderer is now safel y lodged in prison , and will shortly be brought to trial .

      : TURKEY . Constantinople , Dec . 4 . —The reported arrival of Dr . Wolff , at Teheran , is confirmed . Her Majesty ' s steamer Devastation , with Sir Stratford Canning , returned to this city on the 28 th ult ., having been kept back by foul : winds and very severe weather . The difference between the British embassy and the Porte , on the subject of events of recent occurrence at Trebisonde , have not yet been brought to a close . The Porte has still to receive from Abdullah Pacha explanations , without which the matter cannot be discussed bn a fair footing .

      WEST INDIES . Southampton , Dec 22 . —The Thames , Royal Mail steam-ship , Lieut . P . Hast , R . N ., commander , arrived this day , at ten o ' clock a . m ., bringing the usual mails . The Thames encountered very strong head winds nearly the whole of the voyage , particularly at the entrance of the Channel . There were but very few vessels beatingabout in the chops of the Channel . Tho whole of the West India Islands were generally in a very healthy state . The Governors of the Trinidad and the Windward Islands were about to proceed to Jamaica , to consult with Lord Elgin on the expediency of forming a . penal settlement for the West India colonies . There is every prospect of

      good crops throughout the islands generally . Ihe weather has not been so propitious lor many years . The House of Assembly was sitting at Jamaica , but no particular business was being transacted . A bill haa been introduced to prevent trespass on properties , which was read a third time , arid ordered to be engrossed . And another , for the summary punishment of petty larcenies , had gone into committee and passed . The Lazaretto Bill , for the establishment of a lazaretto for the islands , had also been introduced , and , after some little discussion as to whether it should be a floating one or not , it was ultimately passed on the understanding that it should be on shore .

      British Consul resident at Arica , and that the authorities of the town were ; the parties ; the outrage is mentioned as being of tiie grossest description . The British squadron engaged in the blockade of Islay had information ofthe outrage communicated by Mr . Wilson , the insulted consul , and her Majesty ' s ship Talbot was immediately despatched to Arica . It is said that water was refused this vessel . Our Peruvian Minister . Mr . Adams , happened to be on board the Talbot ; and considered the circumstances of the case so flagrant as to demand an immediate apology , which was required in the name of the British Government by the commander of the Talbot . The apology being refused , the Talbot opened fire on the Governor ' s ) residence ; several

      lit . it i . i * . , shells were thrown in , and this ] was represented as being only a beginning , and that ] the town would be bombarded . This prompt mode , of dealing brought the authorities to better behaviour—an ample apology was given , and tranquillity at once restored . It is not mentioned whether any persons were killed by the shells thrown from the Talbcjt . All the English residents at Arica were well looked after , and taken on board previous to opening fire ' ] . ; but when matters were settled they went on shore again . UNITED STATES . The Labour Movement . —Mike Walsh ' s Speech at the Boston Wobkjng-men'sj Convention . —In a late number of this paper there jappeared a copy oi the address aereed to by the . New England Delegates

      in Convention assembled . It was at one of the sittings of that body that the following speech was delivered : —Mi-. President , and fclLow working-men—To a man who feels for the miscjy and oppression of his suffering fellow beings , the present scene is peculiarly gratifying and cheering—| it is worthy of the great and glorious scenes which ; in times that tried men ' s souls , transpired within these sacred walls . What a glorious sight is here exhibited ! Thousands of the honest care-worn sons of toil , who , until very recently , seemed to feel and act as though they had no rights beyond that of barking j like dogs for their masters , now amenable in the majesty and dignity of human nature for the worthy , jnoble , and sublime purpose of devising some efficient means , by which

      they may be ireeu from the oppressive and degrading tyranny of capital—the ingenious but humiliating and debasing slavery of wftg-esj ! ( Loud cheats . ) When we take into consideration the ¦ unparaHeku excitement which is now so universal throughout the whole length and breadth of our ) country—when we look at the stupendous efforts which are making by the selfish and corrupt hordes of mercenary knaves in both parties , with the base and contemptible view of aggrandizing themselves , at the sacrifice of our best interests—when we reflect iupon the countless sums which they are pouring out j like water—the one party to obtain , and the other to retain , the spoils and tat offices , which offer such a | powerful incentive to their patriotic and dwntereeted . exertions , we certainly cannot but regard the vast concourse of brave and determined spirits here congregated to assert the great truth—that henceforth nieh are , and must be , tree and equal in something more tangible than name ,

      as the dawn of a great and regenerating revolution , which is destined , if vigorously followed up , to redeem and elevate the industrious producer from the odious and oppressive tyranny of capital . ( Cheers . ) How is it that in a country like ours , l where every man ' s vote counts one—where the pobr labourer has the same voice in making the laAvs by which lie is governed as the rich and lazy nabob who is realizing a fortune from the toil ofthe working-classes , —government should almost invariably bfe converted iino an engine of oppression against them i liow does it come that legislators , who are indebted solely to our exertions for their unmerited elevation to " stations which they disgrace , so freqiiontly ' use the inHtK-mrof their posit ions as an engine of oppression against us ' . It isibecause we are not true to ourselves . ( Cheers . ) S ' omc of the gentlemen who preceded me stated that the sole cause of degradation and oppression nf tluworking-men , was their entire ignorance of their own true interest . What a shallow ' faUacv—what a fatal

      error ! 1 he . present depressed and deplorable condition of the producing classes is the result of their own heartless selfishness . ( Sensation . ) ¦ If you have twenty or thirty offices at yonr disposal , and promise each of them to a hundred different individual , you can obtain the vigilant co-operation of two or three thousand working-men ( although there are a hundred chances to one against each of them ; and that much sooner than if the object proposed to them were the regeneration « f the wurlJ . And why is this ? Is it the fault of the men altogether . 2 so . It is owing as much to the state ; of society in which they are east , as it is to their organization . When n man ' s necessities arc immediate , ipresfing and

      pinching ., he requires an immediate reward for Ins . services . ' U ' neers . ) Few , indeed , are the inen who can maintain their independence , or resist the fascinating influences of a bribe , when they go home , if home they have , to look upon the haggard countenance of n beloved and starving wife , and hear the piteous cries of their half famished offspring for that oread which they . are unable to honestly and ' honourably obtain . This is the re"fu > on it has alwayi been so difficult to combine working-men upon any , measure , however certain its ultimate benefits might be , which threatened to consume any length of tiine in accomplishing . We have always been the tools wi | h which evci-y other class have worked out their own selfish ends . Even

      revolution which has taken place throughout the earth , has been effected through 6 ur services and sacrifices , and yet we have been totally excluded from the benefits of each change . Is it not , then , high time that we should commence ) a practical revolution upon our own account ? Is it not an imperative duty which we owe ourselves , ' our families , and our fellow men , to come up ooldly to the work , and endeavour to extricate ourselves from the oppressive and exorbitant extortions of capital ? Look at the overwhelming increase of machinery ! Soe the fearful , frightful rapidity with which it is superseding human labour ! Look at the very ingenuity ot the poor man converted by the rich capitalist into a powerful means of starvation against his unfortunate

      associates . Thousands of labour-fsavmg machines are almost yearly invented to choke ! the poor man from his employment , but not one has ever yet been devised to put bread in his mouth , j ( Tremendous cheering . ) If every man had his share of the soil , there could be no such thing as over-production in any branch of human industry . Machinery , which is now made one of the greatest evils ! with which we are cursed , would then be our greatest blessing . Instead of bringing misery and hunger to our unemployed labourers and mechanics as now , j it would bring ease , comfort , and leisure for intellectual improvement . The policy of the idle , plundering drones , who fatten on sweat and blood , and who wring fortunes from our sighs , sufferings , and premature -death , has long been to increase the hours of labour to-such a shameful and barbarous extent , as to compel jus to take from our

      factories , alias slaughter-houses , ; to our beds . This prevents us from impudently prying into public affairs , and also makes quiet and orderly citizens o £ us . ( Cheers . ) But they allege that we ought to be happier than they are—and why ]? Because we sleep sound , and they might very truly add- ^ wake remarkably stiff in the morning . ( Loud laughter and cheers . ) Much as these chaps love sound sleep , I never knew one of them who would carry a hod full of mortar all day to enjoy the pleasing recreation even for a single night . ( Laughter and applause . ) As ail offset to our ceaseless and uncompensated toil , these fellows talk about the care and anxiety which they ] experience in thinking about their notes and payments . They would find some difference , I apprehend ] between the anxiety

      of-paying a note or two out of a portion of their surplus funds , and the solicitude wliich the poor man not unfrequently experiences in regard to the source from whicn he may obtain his next meal . And as to their banks , there is not a man : in this Convention who would not gladly take all there are in Boston—I'll take half myself . ( Laughter . ) "Show me the man , " exclaims one of those gentry , " whose hammer can be heard from the first crow of the cock in the morning until twelve at night , and I'll show you a man who'll get along . " Now this is all very nice from a fellow who never handled a hammer in hiB life , and who could not be beat with a club to a single hard day ' s work . ( Laughter and applause . ) I can grant that a ! man who will slave himself to deatt *—who will work four or five hours more than the regular time , each day , ] and can get enough to keep him going steady , may by ; this beggarly means advance his own individual pecuniary interest , so

      long as he forms an exception to the general rule ; but let everjr man follow his example , and he will get less for his sixteen hours labour ! than he previously received for four . Labour is a commodity ; and its value is regulated like that of any other , by the demand whicn the market affords . ! We have now commenced a great and glorious movement in behalf of suffering homanity , and for GooVs sake beware how you suffer it to be desecrated and prostituted bydesi p ningjiishonest demagogues and political vultures , wnoars solely actuated in joining any body of men by the selfish and despicable desire of aggrandizing themselves by its pollution and destruction . ( Cheers , ] Have nothing to do with them . JTbey will praise and glorif y you with honied pbrasesibefore election , and look down upon you withasnmch affected contempt as though you were dogs ( after it ' s once over . ) They wiFcall you the bone and sinew , | imd will worn you on their contracts until the light jof a candle can be seen through your starved and { collapsed carcasses .

      This I shall now do ; and the measure which I an > about to submit to tins Convention immeasurably transcends in all-engrossing importance any measure which has ever been agitated in the social or political world . I propose to give every man , who is willing to work , a sufficient portion of tlie vas ^ domain , known as the " public lands , '' to sustain himself and family in comfort and independence . These lands are held in trust by the general Government for ns ; and unless the shameless speculation , and peculation , too , by which they are fast falling into the . hands ^ of unprincipled and unfeeling capitalists , be speedily checked , and all further traffic in them prevented , we shall be deprived for ever of the only mqans by which the producing classes can now be saved < from .

      lasting ruin and irreclaimable debasement . " , Yes : some immediate action must be taken to make the public lands free to actual settlers . This , and this only , will prevent the working classes of this country from becoming as servile , asabject . as degraded , and as helpless in their condition as the serfs of Europe ( Great applause . ) After enlarging considerably upon the land question , he advocated as an immediate measure a uniform reduction of the hours of labo-pr throughout the whole "Union , and closed amidst the most deafening applause . Infamous Tyranny in RnonE Islanti . — 'The Peb ^ secuteb Dorr . —The infamous oppressors of Rhode Island deny to Mr . Dorr even the aid of counsel ! It is well known that they interdict his friends from

      seeing him , although in the presence of others ; that ! they do not permit him to read the letters or newsp apers addressed to him ; but one could hardly have imagined that they would carry their tyranny to such an extent as to forbid him themeans of a furtJier trial . He wishes to test the decision against him in the higher courts ; but his counsel are denied access to him . Here is their own statement : — The undersigned ( and also the late Hon . Samuel T . Atwell , recently deceased ) have acted throughout as counsel for Mr . Dorr , and at his special request and retainer , antl have stood to him in the relation of confidential ad-\ isers and friends up to the period of his commitment to

      the State prison , at the door of which one of the underpinned took leave of him on the 27 th of June last . Since that time , we have used every exertion to obtain from the inspectors and from the Legislature admission to consult with him respecting the further trial of his case in a higher court , but in . vain . We have been denied our privilege and his right of consultation . We know not his final views . We have no instruction whether to proceed further or not , or ivliat additional counsel he would desire-us to employ . The responsibility of this refusal of his just ritflit to proceed to a higher tribunal , rests not with us , bnt with those who have seen fit to debar the prisoner from commuhicatipn with his counsel ; in which capacity we still stand and intend to remain with unabated devotion ,

      until we have information from our client that our services are dispensed with ; and we take this opportunity of sajing to the friends of Mr . Dorr , in or out of the State , that any attempt to take his case out of our hands , t > y whomsoever made , and of whatever political party they may be ( ei ' ther as employers or counsel ) , or by whatever motives actuated , is wholly unauthorised by Mr . Dorr . We stand ready to do for Sir . Dorr , both as counsel and friends , all that we know he desires us to do , and all that we can do , faithfully to the last . Of one thing we are certain , from our conversation with our client before his imprisonment , that he has never asked the aid , in the management of his case , of any one who is not found unequivocally acting in the Democratic ranks ofthe state or country ; to Whose principles and rights our client has devoted himself without reservation of an ) thing which the world holds valuable .

      Commemoration of the Polish Rkvolutiox in Xkw York . —We take the following from the New y < jrk Exprts . * , of November 30 th : —The semi-circular room of the Stuyvesant Institute was filled last night with a large audience , met to celebrate the late though we . trust not tho last , glorious effort of the I ' oles to throw off the yoke of Russia . Mingled with the audience , were not only many ladies of European birth , but hosts of our own countrywomen , who * irmed to partake of the enthusiasm for Poland , ex-•• ited by the recent visit of her oyvpressor to that country of * Europe which boasts itself the freest in tin world . Over the tribune drooped the tri-colour of France , the American ensign , tlte Polar star of Scandinavia , and the banner of Poland , with tbe

      frowned eagle and the white horse of Lithuania , which once moved in triumph before Vienna , when the successor of the Roman Ciesavs was unable to protect either his honour or his throne . With the Poles were gathered together exiles from half of the countries of Europe ; the dark Spaniard , the Italian Carbonaro , and the fair-haired Dane and German , nn : ong whom was one wiiose name , Illustrious in Kurope , is always honoured here ; we refer to Ilarro ilaring , the patriot , the poet , and , unfortunately , the exile . After the officers and managers of this commemoration had taken their places upon the platf'lrm , '" one" of the wild , half-oriental inarches , by l ' o ish valour made so glorious , ' was played Ly the f-rchestra , which was concealed bv the drapery ofthe

      banners , of winch we have already spoken . At the termination-of . this music , a letter was read from the lion . Albert Gallatin , excusing himself on account i > t' his age and the inclemency of the weather , ffovo . j in-aiding over the meeting . Tho letter was read by Tlieod . Sedywick , who addressed the audience , speaking of the fact that this country was now the only iWuge of tliose whose country had contributed her quota of blood to the establishment of our own independence . "While touching upon this subject , reference was made to the recent developments in relation to the English postroffioe , brought about by the Italian exile Mazzini , who had suffered under its espionage . Mr . Sedgwick having concluded , introduced to the meeting Mr . Kalussowski , who spoke for a short

      time in his native Sclavonic . Of this address we can but say that it was most enthusiastically received by the audience . An address was next made by Mr . Stalknecht , as the representative- of the Scandinavian Society , in this city , assuring the Poles of their deep sympathy with them , and describing the feeling awakened in Scandinavia by the newa that the Poles were in arms . This address , delivered in perfectly classical English , without tbe slightest accent , was received with great applause . —Ml * . Forresti , then , on behalf of the Italians , addressed the audience in his own rich Tuscan . He spoke of tbe solemnity , which had brought them togetner , and of the glorious nature of their strife , and of the pride they should feel , even though it was unsuccessful ;

      in which , to quote his own words , " aunehe eadesti , eadcsti ,. grandi . " Mr . Forresti denounced , as only an Italian can , tbe cruelty of the Russian Government , and made a fervent appeal in behalf of the glorious names which had shone in the late revolution ; to denounce the Autocrat did not suffice for Mr . Forresti , but bitter and scornful were his denunciations of the panegyrists of Nicholas . He concluded with an assurance that , deep as were the sufferings of the Italian exiles , there was not one who did not feel his bosom glow with sympathy for tbe sufferings of those who were more oppressed than themselves . — Dr . Wierzbirdyi then addressed the audience in English , and spoke of the past glories of Poland , and the debt due to her from Christianity and universal

      civilization , of which , for centuries , they had been the bulwarks—and the untiring foe of the Tartar and the Turk . —Harro Haring next addressed the audience , we regretto sav , in a foreign tongue , which we are unable to . render adequately . As far as -we could form an opinion of words spoken in a tongue with , the pronunciation of which we are not familiar , he read an original poetical address , which , at least , he seemed to feel , and which ended with an appeal to S ^ ndinavia , the author ' s fatherland . Mr . Haring having concluded , a Polish national air was sung . —Dr . Howe of Boston next addressed the meeting , and described the enthusiasm excited in America by the news ofthe Polish Revolution fourteen vearsago , and ofthe various modes of assistance which were

      contrived ; and of the funds raised and the colours sent from Bosfoa to that country ; which were confided to La Fayette , and in the disbursement of which Dr . Howe had been joined . On the arrival of these funds , the Revolution had failed ; the Poles had laid down their arms , except those who had taken refuge in Prussia . It was determined , as these men . were in great distress , to distribute the funds among them ; to accomplish which Dr . Howe visited their encampment in Prussia , and contrived to accomplish his purpose . The officers had been separated from this Body of men , that , unassisted by their council , they might be forced to * return into the dominions of Russia . Dr . Howe had , from the concert among them , become satisfied some oie mind regulated their movements : and at length discovered this to be the ease . He was shewn into a squalid room where an officer lay ill ; wiiose attentionMe lone attempted in vain to arouse .

      and not until after repeated efforts did he succeed ; when , raising from his oed with the frame of a giant , and in'the most energetic manner , he assured him that he bad been all the while feigning illnessi though in perfect health ,, for the purpose of keeping together these 4000 men . ; , For this affair , and for his activity in assisting other Poles , Dr . H . was the inmate of * Prussiaiuprison . —Mr . Gerard wsstaextintroducea ta the meeting , and addressed themMa speech of som * twenty minutes ^ iration , * aa . the representative , of France . His address , Ii 6 weyer > was 1 > ut :: a refrairi , of those which , preceded ii > jfem vrhich it dipered only in its higher degree of excitement and fervour .
