      Let them , however , always beware of doubtful characters , of trimming politician ? , of "liberal Cooscrvauvesj" the modern Sphinxes , with human visages joined with the hodies of brutes . Let them always demand of any one who claims favour and confidence at their " hands , whether his views are clear and con > istent on fundamental points . Two or three leading pr inciples , at least , ought to be kept constantly in view . ; and every candidate for public favour tested by them .

      Life ts Loxdox . —I had been about twelve months npon town , "' and had ihe felicity of owing fireis sums to tailors , bootmakers , hatters , A c , and Thai I knew not where to turn for cash , I was agreeably surprised by X—— and the Impulsive proposing- a scheme to pay all my debts without cosang me a farthing . The scheme was this : X had hills of exchange for all sums and at all dates , I was to indorse these to my several creditors , and take the difference ; for instance , say I owed Hobby £ 80 , 1 took him abill with only aiew weeks to run for £ 153 , drawn bv Jack Nokes npon- the Honorable Mr . ; Hobby shook his head at the acceptor ' name , bnt was satisfied ( knowing my

      family ) with the indorsement ; I received £ i 0 , -which" I handed orer to X—— . ' This being done in eight or ten different places , I imagined myself eatof debt , and having obtained a snppry of money , Tent on as heedlessly as ever . There is one peculiarity about all bills of exchange—they become dne ; so it was with mine . ~ Sot one of the many acceptances I had endorsed to my creditors were honored ; all came npon me . One sunshiny morniae the Impulsive entered my bed-room ; The came ' snp . old Tar , " said he " yon must toddle . ' ^ The Enensh of which wai I mnst get out of the way to avoidTarrest . I did so ; dodged into Surrey , Sussex , Kent , &c Again the subject of wedjock was renewed , bnt this I finnlv negadved , and within one fortnight Bob coolly " showed me the Gazette , of

      am ^ ri the list bankrupts , in which , my name appeared , with the description of " picture dealer . " it was when X and his friends explained to me how should be pulled through , " that my eyes » sre first opened to the mass of perjury by which this was to be effected . The parties had my acceptances on which third , fourth , and fifth holders were to prove , and then sign my certificate , they , in nnmbas and amount Swamping ~ my real creditors . Though my creciit had been destroyed , and my character somewhat injured , I was really guiltless < if any premeditated wrong , and resolutely opposed afl the schemes that were " to make me right as a trim . " Snch were the state of things when my

      lmde Jeremiah came to town . Reader I was ;—as I id , and you may imagine—once more free . 1 was traly grateful to Jeremiah , and bore with " old dot , and carry one , " as Bob called him in his moods . He had received a letter from my father , requesting to know the extent of my embarrasanents , with a new to their liquidation , and then to bring me back 1 gave the list , concealing only some tnfles that I t&s ashamed to add—those trifles formed my annoyance for years ^ Matters were happily in train for my retna ; I wished , though I dreaded it ; the plaees ¦ rere booied , and I had chatted jorer my intendedjourney wilh X- — , when my trusty friend jhoroneheood arrested me at the suit of Sladame

      andindeSCnbabies . ' I resolved to perish rather than again apply to my-femUr : and was then chummed with Lieut H— : he had sold his half pay , and became like myself pennyless . It was the morning of the third day which we had passed ^ without food , the only Inxurieswe'hadindulged in beingonepot of porter , for which he obtained credit at the tap , and a pipe which we smoked by turns . Possibly , reader , you have never felt hunger—I have to excess . It is when the craving has passed away , and sickness , and inertness succeed , that it becomes dangerous . Its effects on my frame was to Tender me utterly indifferent to life ; I had not energy sufficient to write a note , for there were yet those who would have lent me a trifle ; I felt as if I could willingly sleep into nothingness . The action on the lieutenant was very different ; on the third morning he broke into

      frightful denunciations against Providence and the world ; he recounted all his perib in the Peninsula , his wants , his dangers , and then , with a passionate flood of tears , almost screamed out , " And here , here ' s Jach H— perishing in gaol for very hunger . " I have reason to know that he wns a fearless soldier , but want bad utterly subdued him—he wept like a child . At last he started np , and darted ont of the rooBi . I deemed it a fit of madness , but lacked energy even to look from the window what direction he was ' going . He returned in about ten minutes loaded with food—he had rushed to the Marshal ' s house , and in the frantic energy of want told our situation ; Mr . Jones had presented him a sovereign . A day or two after this , 1 received an anonymous letter inclosing ten pounds ; who my unknown friend was I vainly endeavoured to guess , but assuredly had that timely succour noharrived , this scene would have closed the adrentnres of A MAN ABOUT TOWN .

      " How to Get onV—The Rogue ' s Me-TS 0 D . —A London thief , of any notoriety , after having been a shoVt time in Sydney , would scorn to place himself , or his assignee wile , in so mean a vehicle as a gig : nothing less tb . au a carriage and pair is commensurate witk the rank in felony to which they have arisen in Australia . A better idea of the effect of all this upon a stranaer cannot be conveyed tban by the following anecdote of an officer who visited New South "Wales on leave of absence from his Tegiment in India .- -Having gone with a friend , in a gig , from Sydney to the races at Paramatta , they were passed on the road by many

      genteel equipages , including" close carriages , curricles-, and landaus . In answer to the stranger ' s questions , his companion informed him that one brilliant ' set-out belonged to Sam Such-a-one , who had been a convict , but was now a free man , and a man of fortune ; that another was the property of a convict , who kept a draper ' s shop in Sydney , but was assigned to bis wife , vrha had brought oat with him a . large sum of money ; that a third belonged to a t icket-of-leave-man , who had obtained that iBdulgence almost immediately after his arrival in the

      colony—and so on . At the race-course , where " all the beauty " and fashion" of felonry was assembled , the stranger ' s astonishment was complete at the number -of instances in which he obtained similar answers . After some graver reflections on so singular an exhibition , he ironically remarked , that he thought he had better return as soon as possible to India , for the purpose of there committing some crime that should subject him to a short sentence of transportation , for it really seemed to him that that was the best way of getting on in the world . —Mndie ' s Felonry of Hew South Wales .

      A Moskey of Discretion . —In a country town , no matter where , there lived th » worthiest and most philosophical of old bachelors , with a warm heart and a' sound head , from whose well-powdered exterior had dangled that most respectable ornament , a queue . Our bachelor entertained a monkey of such good breeding and « o much discretion , that Jacko was permitted to make one at the dinner table , where- he was seated on a high child's chair , next to his master , and took off his glass of perry in the same time and measure of his patron , and in as good a style and manner as Domine Sampson himself could have performed the feat . Now his

      master ' s housekeeper made the best preserved apricots in the countyj and , when the said apricots were enshrined in a tart ; the golden fruit set off by the superincumbent trellis " , a more tempting piece ofdatiiserie could hardly be laid before man or' monkey . One of these tarts enriched the board of a small dinner party , and was put nearly opposite to Jacio , who occupied his usual station . The host helped first one and then another to some of this exquisite tart , but forgot poor Jacko , whs had b % en devouring it with his eyes , and was . too well bred to make any indecorous snatch at the object of attraction , as most monkeys would have done . At last he could stand nojonger : so looking

      to the right and left , and , finally fixing his eyes on the guest opposite , he quietly , lifted up his hand , behind his master's back , and _ gave his tail such a plug as made the powder fly , withdrew his hand in an instantj and cat with a -vacant expression of the greatest innocence . People do not like to have their tails pulled . His master gave him a look , and Jacko give , him another , but even the eloquent expression of Hogarth ' s monkey on the offending bear ' s back fell short of it . ' itsaia . as " plainly ' as look ; could speak , 'Don't be angry—don ' t strike ^—they did not see it—¦ I i > eg ypur pardon—but I must have a bit of apricot tart . ' He was forgiven and helped . — : New Monthly .

      vbglandcan oe kept , I wiD not say comfortably , but from actual starvation on their native seil v is it aofc high time for those means to be resorted , tpj ? By taking a retrospective new of their condition , it appears that for the last century / it has been gradually sinking , and that ere this , if public reports claim credit , thousands of our fellow-beings Mve sunk into their mother earth for want of ithe necessaries of life , which the earth has , as yetj produced in abundance . "What , then , I would ask , has been the cause of this disaster ? Has the earth ' s produce been consumed by a general conflagration , or swallowed up by d mighty earthquake ? No ! How then has it happened f But before I proceed , allow

      me to ask , have the great landed proprietors , the stock-jobbers , and the trading capitalists , suffered in any degree the growing evil ot the times ? No . How , then , I ask , has it happened ? The reason is obvious . The characters last mentioned have been the law makers , and have so formed them , as to rob therestof the community , for their exclusive and individual , aggrandizement This is the cause , and nothing else . In proof of this , if proof be wanting let us look at the numerous and expensive wars , which they have occasioned , and ask , what was their object ? Was it for the good of the people ?—to preserve them from thraldom?—or was it io preserve , in some instances , those estates in their

      own hands , that were stolen from the quiet and peaceable inhabitants , at the time of the conquest , and given to them as a reward for plundering those inhabitants ; many thousands of the rightful heirs of whom are now pining away from starvation , whilst they , the knaves , with changed-names , to . avoid disgrace , are wallowing in luxury ? Now was not thiff the real object , and that only the pretended one as it respects the French war ? And , as it resj > ects the war with the United States of America , what was its object ? And what i * the object o / the present one with Canada , but something equally base and dishonourable ; not for the good of the public , but against it . Who , then ,

      onght to bear the expense of those wars r The people ? No ! surely not ! But those very characters above" mentioned have actually imposed the whole of it upon the people , and ; something more . This may appear . strange , but it is nevertheless true . You are aware , that-after the conclusion of the French war , the taxes of the nation were considerably augmented . This , according to the role previously and unreasonably laid down by themselves , brought upon them au additional burden ; and feeling that inconvenient aud impolitic , according to their notion of policy , nnd haying the power to alter it , ^ they set to work in right good earnest , and carried a measure through Parliament , be « t known to the people by the appellation ' of the Corn Laws , in consequence of which , they were enabled to double , and in many

      instances treble , and more than that , the rents of their property ; by which means , as I said before , they not only imposed the whole of- those taxes , but something more , upon the people , turning a national calamity into au aristocratical blessing . Many other laws , equally cruel . and oppressive , might be enuinftrated , in proof of the cause of the people's miseries , beiug the exclusive privilege of a fraction of the people to legislate for the Mhole . Bnt ennineration is unnece » saryv Common sense must perceive , and honesty own , " that so long as the legislative power is wholly confided in the hands of the aristocracy , — men whose prejudices and interests are opposed to the good of the public , —

      the miseries of the nut > s will be ' continually magnified . vThether they be . termed Whigs , Tories , or anything else , is a matter of no consequence . They are beasts of .- ' prey , without humanity , and without mercy ; and ,-therefore , if the masses do not immediately combine , with spirit and determination , to have their right in legislation , the result is evident . They wxll be slaves of the most degraded order . Look at the hellish design of our rulers , after a long run of unequalled misrule and oppression , by which a vast proportion of the useful

      people of these realm . * , : he labourer * , have been reduced to a state of destin :. tiou ; ¦ and by the continuance of whicli , nil suou will-lie . They have made a la , w called the Poor Law Amendineut Act , the manifest design of which appears to be" the deprivation of the rest of the community of every earthlv comfort . Ba ' stiles are to be erected , having a small yard , surrounded by an high and lofty wall , over which nothing can ce seen except the arch of heaven ; for that situation , the labouring men of England are to exchange their liberty to range abroad , and new the var ious scenes of nature and

      art . Their wives , here , are to be taken from them , not any more to be seen < r spoken to—their children , also , their theme of consolation and object of their tenderest feelings , more dvar to them than ev ^ n life itself , are to be separated from botb ^ and put into the hands of some monster , in human shape , I allow , whose feelings for th « little infant will probably resemble most that of a wolf towards a iamb—for s _ « irfl I am , that no one possessing human feeling's , will be tool or instrument in that cniel establishment . In this nethermost hell , the consolation of the dissenter , arising from the . religious ceremonies to which he has been accustomed , is to

      be cutoff ; and last of . all , though perhaps not least , the inmates of tin ' s infernal abode are to live , or die , from a diet of 15 jd . per week . All this in consequence of poverty , wnich has been forced upon them , by laws of robbery and extortion . ZSow , after th i ^ , I say to every man , wilt thou be a slave or a freeman ' : If a slave , as above described , say the power of legi ^ latioIl shall remain in the hands or the aristocracy ; but if a freeinan , siy I ¦ will have my right , or " lose my life ; for a life of misery is worse than death . In conclusion , I would therefore say to the people of England , Universal Suffrage , or r ight , rail it which they will , or pearly universal slavery , is the approaching condition of their countrv .

      TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Ge . vtlejie . v , —lam one . of . those who have seen the time when all manufacturing labour was performed in the habitations of the workmen , and what is more , when all the carding , all the spinning , and all the weaving , were performed by the human hand ; all carding by a single pair of cards , one worked in each hand ; all spinning by the single thread ; and all weaving by throwing the shuttle from the onu hand to the other . In those days each particular family went to work in the morning whenever it suited their own pleasure or convenience , nnd also left it at any moment they pleased . Parents had their children under their own care , during their infancy , and under their own training

      and ' management during their minority , and apportioned their tasks according to their own discretion . Now , so far as the Factory System extends , both parents and children are summoned by their taskmasters to their work at a much earlier hour in the morning than they had previously been , and are also confined mnch closer through the day , and compelled to be more active and more dih ' geDt , and , after all . confined a greater number of hours each day , than they have previously been , so that , in fact , the Factory people are now compelled to perform , almost , ii not quite , twice ' , as much work in the course of a year as they performed previous

      to the introduction of that machinery of which we boast so much , and whose power is said to be many times as great as all human power put together , and yet after all , what have we to do now , as a people , more than we had to do then ? We have now only food , raiment , and other necessaries to produce , and we had all those things to produce then ; aud what is the most wonderful of all , and lamentable as well as wonderful , that we have far , far more hunger , nakedness , and theft in existence now , than we had in the days before this machinery was introduced . Are not all these facts proof positive , that we have totally lost all that kind of wisdom which is necessary for the guidance and direction of national affairs ? -. ¦¦ ¦ ' ¦ -

      If Hh& interests of the working classes had been properly represented in Parliament , during the last seventy years , I verily believe , that their tasks , instead of Being doulled , nnghi have been reduced onehalf ; and their necessaries and-comforts have been doubled . I havebeen told that the annual produce of the Kingdom , if equally divided , would amount to 10 s . a week , for every man , woman and child in the kingdom . But I should like to be iufonned how many families there are in our boasted township , who have not one-half of tha t sum : ;¦ and also what they have to pay for rentout of their present pittance .

The horizon would be illumined with ; the blaze of tiie midnight incendiary ^ Now the ^ agricul tu ral labourers are better off with regard to wages than they were in 1830 > aiid seqppdly , you have smothered those symptoms of discontent , but not extinguished them , by your aristocratic coercions . ; Hitherto , the pressure , as yon callit , hasbeeh alternately thrown hrst upon the shoulders of the manufacturers , and then upon

      the' agriculturists . It is how pressing hard upon the shoulders of taeymanufacturers , and yet your symptom of discontent is not elicited . What is the reason of this 'thin'k you ? Why I Organization , progress of knowledge ; we congregate together , . we discuss our grievances , ; and we have ; , laid those grievances before the legislature in a legal manner . Yes , we haveinuudated the House of Commons with our petitions , and what has beep the result ' ?• •' Why , our complaints have been disregarded , and our Srayers trampled under foot , and you my Lord have ie andacity to'tell the ^ productive classes ' bf England that they are satisfied with themeasure , be cause they have not resorted to the aristocratic maxim of dfistrnction . ¦ I call it a , maxim wliinii rifiinTKrehnvriiir

      order ; fot in all ages of pur history the aristocracy have always manifested their discontent by > the destruction of both life iind property , and your speech seems to eiicourage this mode of shewing out discontent to the measures of government . It will ultimately be verified , for thei pressure ytill undbubtedly retarh to-S the agriculturists , and then your starvation net . will be fairly tested * I cafl assure your Lordship thatit will not work well in the mahufactdring districts . ^/ e « will not he separatedthYfcordfronv their wives and children with impuaity , tney will not submit to wear the felon ' s garb for no other crime than poverty , when they Icuow that that poverty is produced hy misgqterhrhent . Yes ; my Lord , they know they have ; as rnuch right to live in the land that

      gave them birthj as the proudest Peer in the realm . Knowing this , do you thinkthev will submit to , be bkstiled ? No ! my Lord , men will not tamely a « bmit to perish by tliousandg . If you think ' so , you know nothing of man in the mass , you htive only studied him in theory . If yon knew the age we lite in , you would acknowledge by what feelings the pro * ductiye g lasses are at present dctuated , you wojtild admit ; that it is bnt a continuation of the feelings which iri past ageSihad freed your 6 wn order from n pressure which haapecomeihtolerable ; I will allow that yon isee 'flie- movemjeuc . towHrdai self-goverment progressive , and all your acts along , with the acts of government is to lighten the law , m order to stop its progress : but you cannot , circumstances are affainst

      ? ou , the spirit of the age is an irresistable powers the Jew Poor Law will acceleratelitii ^ movements . Th t bill aims a deadly blovr at wages .

      LOJNDON CORN EXCHANGE . Mark-Lane , Monday , April 2 . The weather since this day se ' nnight has been very fine , much snn generally during tne day , whilst ; the nijzhte were mostly .-very foggy and cold , that , except ohi stiff soja which now require moiiture , spring tillage h ; is proceeded favourably ; thia month , however ,-ha 8 conimenced very cold , having , had sharp frost * ( Inring the two . past nights , the thermometer registering yesterday morning 27 . degrees and thisi morning onl y 25 degrees , too severe for the Wheat plant which hng been unfavourably spoken of in many placed , and as yet no warm rain to recover or improve it , where , it has thus suffered from the severity of the past winter , if yet past it can be said to be . The supply of Wheat , Barley ,-Beans , and Pflaa , from Essex and Kent waa only moderate ; ofthe two former articles there was rather an : increased oiiantity . from Suffolk , and from Norfolk a large quantity at Barley , . but only . limited fresh arrivals of Oats , and tnese p rincipally from our own coast , haring had few yesselslan trom Scotland or Ireland since Friday . The condition ofthe Wheat oh sale this inornT

      ine was much unpTovea , and picked . samples met a . steady sale at the . ratesof this day se-nnight . but the trade was not brisk for these sorts , and "' after the . eaily . sales : jiad been made of fine qualities , other sorts were taken off slowly ^ - although Generallyoffered le . to 2 s . per qj-.: under the cuTrency of last Monday . Hour was without alteration in value . Choice rnaUmg ^ Barley brought the rates of last week , but the next descriptions were Is . per qr . cheaper , whilst grinding Samples were notlower . -Malt met a fair sale at full y ss much money . Beans and Peas were fully as dear ^ andbp . th articles in request . The late laree supply of Irish Oatrt may riow be- considered as cleared off the market , either to speculators or dealers , and as the number of vessels with thisarticle at sea is knbWri to be Uanited , 4 nd supplies of EnglUh and Scotch continue on a moderate scale ; alf sorts were held on higher terms , but the sales effected were only to a limited extent , and at Si . per qr . over laat Monday's quotatipna . Linseed and' Rape 3 eed were folly » s dear . During the past week a brisk demand existed for Cloverseed , and red brought an- advance of 2 « . to 48 . per cwt . as in quality i the lower sort * improving the most .
