"While fee thus asks the oppressed at "home to join in giving freedom to the not tnore oppressed abroad , he seems dissatisfied

      Trith the tardiness of tine progressive improvement , » nd approaching emancipation of lie "black ; while » t fcoioe be vould allow all to stead still , till his -standard of knowledge "has prepared the' pnblic mind fcr even &e slightest change . We have , no objection to ft nop-step-and-a-jomp for the Hack slave ; "bnt we have a decided objection to the backward march of the white slaves , while his aid is courted in inrfaeranee of the causeof liberty . The voice of one

      alavein support of the rights of another slave is feeble and unconvincing ; whereas the Voice of the iee white man would soon confer the fullest measure of liberty upon his sable brother . The public will at oneglance see thronghthe farce . In this country , bat morff especially m Ireland , the public mind in -the present balanced state of parties must-he amused , and there the strolling government nave one section of them got up the anti-slavery cry , while Lord John and the remainder of the party gather unto

      themselves the monied support by . their opposition . But tetua mark the consistency of-these jugglers , and see whether their discord be not got up for the Tnirpose of quelling the people , and of producing a general concord . I » oid JoHii says " the Reform Bill mustbe considered finaL" The strollers shoulder their scenery , get up exhibitions , denounce Lord Johk ; but yrt support Ins Government " against the Tories" That's alL Lord John declares against " the Ballot" The jugglers get up anotierfarce ; execrate Lord John , but support his

      government " against the Tones . " Lord John will not emancipate the 2 s egroes . 'Away start the strollers once more ; but pack , to the lasb of the irhipger-in , ' to support Lord John and his government " against the Tories . " Thus do we iind for the first time in the history of this , or any other- country , a party diametrically opposed to a minister / and jet supporting his government , lest they should lose the reward of their corruption . "What books it to as wtetter Wiigs or Tories are 3 n office , if having made up our minds to the

      attainment . of a certain object , both , parties are equally « pposed to its accomplishment ? Knowledge , they say , we want ; -while we declare that it is our knowledge , they dread . In advocating the abolition of flogging in the army , a number of members who oppose Universal Suffrage argue thus . " Substi--tute reward for punishment , and you make the military service honourable ; you at -once do away with the necessity of flogging . " By a parity of Teasening , then we sayj give us the inducement to exercise our knowledge , ^ nd all complaint of

      ignorance will speedily vanish . Give the people the vote , « nd they will have an inducement to instruct them--selves in its value and its application . But they -well knowthat ignorance is the tyrant ' s best guarantes cf power . "We know that it is our knowledge and Botouxignorance which they dread . The vote is withleld , because { say the economists ) the people have not sufficient knowledge to guide them in the exercise of it . Let us illustrate th ' e _ argument by a short anecdote . One Jimmy . Least hired , as a man of all work , with one Major C . - The major was a

      great miser . Jix left his service , and went to live frith a country gentleman , a hospitable soul , and a spendthrift . Upon one occasion the major dined with -Jim ' s master , and , upon observing his old iriend in gorgeous livery , ie exclaimed , ' What floes Jtm live with you ? " " Yes , " vra 3 the answer , " did he live with you ? - " " u Yes . " u "Wh y did yon part with him ? "' " Oh , jxr a my honour , I lad no reason , except that he could never put two clishes decently upon the table . * ' To which Jjm , who was present , ( scratching Ms head , ) replied , " By ^ ad , then , for a very good reason , for you never tried me at all : you never had but one !"' 2 sow ,

      let the factions take a moral from the story , and first try whether we would make a proper use of the vote , before they taunt us with ignorance . Give to men an inducement to improve themselves , and they are untiring in their studies ; but withhold the inducement , and ignorance is bliss . How variously those well-informed persons see cause and effect f It is not many days since Sir H . Yiviax ro » e , in the House of Commons , to move the Ordnance Estimates , giving the recent appointment , and consequent ignorance , of the proper officer as a reason for the duty devolving uj ; on him ( Sir . H . V . ) 2 sow , iere was ignorance apologised for ,- while the possession ef a situation was held to be a sufficient

      inducement for the attainment of the necessary infsrmation . The difference between the Ordnance Clerk ai d » voter under . Universal Suffrage is thisthe clerk was ignorant before he got the . office , for which the Government is highly reprehensible , whereas the voter is falsely charged with ignorance , "because he would know how to make a proper use

      tif his right ; but it would not be used for the promotion of a fool , an the hope that be may sometime become capable of discharging the duties of the office ; but , whether or no , that the emolument of « ffice may insure his vote to his party . The Suffrage ia witiiheld , therefore , lest the knowledge of the people should prevent the appointment of ignorant boobies to important situations .

      FACTORY LEGISLATION . The Government nave not ventured to bring their new Factory Bill to the trial , according to their promise . Lord John Russell announced , on Friday evening , in answer to a question from Lord ASHfcBYy that it would zot be proceeded with so early as Monday , - anu iha . t it was intended to keep to the education clauses of the present Act . So far , then , the bold frost of the Factory "Workers las had its effect . "We ima ^ Ini : ihat if the Operatives do but continue to manifest their strength and . unison * litde longer , by large and numerous meetings , and strong but respectful remonstrances , we shall hear

      no more of the Bill ~ at all . Let not our friends , "however , slacken in their exertions . Let them remember tie enemy is in the field . The "Bit of a Parliament" is probabl y even cow sitting ; and if the slightest slackn- ^ , ca : Le part of the Factory "Workers and the friends of nunnmiry , be observed , they will not fail to seize the luck y momentfor doing mischief , which would be mcc-h better and more easily prevented than n ^ 21 cl . Let the Short Time Committees , and all oilier real friends of the Factory child , keep st : ll on the alt-rt , and let their enemies perceive that they are net to be thrown off their guard .

      the merits olifce aabjeetj it couH iiofe h 4 ye ; iww » efeAnaBy " . iit iti object 4 aa by-the : VAebateP io question * I defy Old Nick fchnself to mtie he « 4 or tail of it . For ignorance stolidity ^ blundering misstatearents , staring contradictions , and payable falsehoods- —contempt of ftoinmon sense , wad plain reason , and still . greater . ' contempt of "common honesty and ooamoQ decency , —not to say aaythipg of charity or bAUBaoity ; . for these aod Ae like characteristics , it would be vain to loot for Ae match of this debate in the proceedings of any other

      Legislative asseridyin the-world . It is impossible , to peruse it without feeling deeply mortified at the contempt it manifests ( in every part tjf it ) for public opinion and for the understaadings of the" poor . Under no absolute , monarchy in . Europe" or Asia , ceuld such an exhibition have taken plaee . The most arbitrary autocrat or despot finds it necessary to assume the appearances of honetty and plain dealing towards the parties whose allegiance he counts upon . "It is not necessary ( says Machiatel )

      that a ruler should be an honest roan , but he ought and must take great care to appear such . " This care is rarely neglected by tyrants . The most arbitrarv Sovereigns are obliged to appear honesty in order to be able to uct dishonestly with impunity . But let any man of common reason peruse the "debate" in question , and then say whether our House of Commons does not deem itself omnipotent enough to dispense with the appearances of honesty as -well as with honesty itself . In other words , let

      him , after perusing the debate , confess , what in justic © te mvst needs confess—that in England our rulers have brought despotism to such perfection , that they no loiiger need to disguise it . To make this evident let us briefly advert to what transpired on the occasion . The speakers in opposition io th » bill were Sir W . Brabazon , Sir F .

      Trench , Lord Castlereagh , ( ominous name !) Mr . Daniel O'Contjell , Mr . M . J . O'Con-KELL , SirE . Hates , Mr . Corry , Col . Conojlly , Col . Terner , Sir G . Scgdek , and Mr . Shiel . The speakers , in favour of the bill , were Lord Morpeth , Lord Pow ^ rscourt , Mr . Young , Mr . Pellew , Mr . W . Roche , Lord Clements , Lord Stanley , and Mr . Potjlett Thomson .

      ilost of the former list of speakers opposed the bill on the ground that it went too far !—that is to say , that it promised to give too much relief !!! Sir "W . Brabazon and Sir F . Trench for instance , had no objection to provide relief for " extreme cases of old age and sickness , and these other infirmities tchich disqualify persons from earning a livelihood for themselves , —but such a sweeping measure as the-preseni ^ would steep Ireland still deeper in poverty and destitution . " Mr . Corry " did not consider the measure sufficiently

      circumscribed . " It promised to relieve too many ! ! Sir E . Hayes u nad an insuperable cijection to the amended bill on account of the clauses to prevent vagrancy and mendicancy having been struck out . " The bill would in consequence impost " an unbearable burden upon the land . " Thus , the grand objection from Hayes was the only redeeming feature in the measure ! Mr . Shiel said that he represented the jniddle classes of a great agricultural district , and that the feeling of his constituents wa 3 unanimous against any and every Poor

      Law till the Tithe question was settled ; he wished therefore , for delay . Lord Castlereagh , and Colonels Coxolly and Versos deprecated the bill , as tending to " the confiscation of property , " and to saddle the land with charges it could not bear . The remaining opponents viewed the matter in the same light . All agreed that the land was already overburdened , —that it could bear no additionataharges—that the bill would take away the means of employing the people from the farmers ana gentry , —that it " would paralyze Ireland ' s

      resources , " ( Mr . M . J . O'Coksell ' s phrase , ) and that " it would greatly add to the spread of idleness and destitution . To prove the unanimity of public opinion against it , in Ireland , it was shown or rather asserted , that both the Protestant and Dis » enter were all united in opposition to it . In a word the Irish Members , both orange and green , anticipated nothing but mischief , turmoil and augmented misery , and all this , mind , —because the bill promised or proposed to do too much for the Poor !

      But the beauty of the thing is , that whilst all these fellows repudiated the measure as too sweeping—as threatening to take too much from the rich , ( to be given to the poor , ) they were equally unanimous in condemning it , on the ground that it would afferd no adequate relief at all ! They were all against the Bill , but they were all in favour of Poor Laws ! "What they wanted was time , in order " to mature a sound and discreet measure . " But not a

      man of them would give an idea of what he meant by soundness , AH you could infer was that the degree of soundness would be estimated by the smailness of the burden to he put in the law , that is to say , on the landlords . The Ministerial Bill was a bad one , ^ because it threatened to give the poor some sort of insipient claim to a share of the land ' s produce ; but the measure wanted was a " sound and discreet one , " which would relieve the poor in some mvsterious manner that would not interfere witb

      landlords rents or farmers' profits . " T 9 take nothing from the rich and give it to the poor " was , according to Hazlitt , the drift of all modern schemes of reformation in his ( Hazlitt ' s ) time . What would Hazlitt say if he had heard the debate on the Irish Poor Law Bill ? What would he have thought of men who , professing to be all anxious for " a sound and well-digested measure of

      relief , commensurate with the distress to be remedied , " would , at the same time , oppose the only measure of relief that has ever been proposed ; and this , on the ground that it proposed to do too much for the poor , when the fac : is notorious that it Would not relieve one in twenty of the destitnte popalation Verily , Machiaykl would not own these bunglers for disciples , seeing that they are as deficient in the appearance of honesty as in ionestv itself .

      But what part did King Dajj play on the occasion ? Ah ! it would be a nice point to determine that . Tie Devil himself could not decide whether Dan was for the poor or against them , if he had only his speech to go by . But any one might see , with half an eye , that Da » was working strenuously for hi mself . He praised the Government—he praised the landlords—he prai&ed the Catholic priests—he praised ( will i tbe believed ?) iheProtestanf parsons—hepraised the Dissenters , ae praised the middle classes of Ireland generally , for their boundless charity to the

      Poor , —he juaised the Irish labourers for their filial and parental virtues , their religious and spiritual feeling ? , 3 > ut above all for their wonderful industry and love of independence , that love of independence inducing them , as he said , to travel from Cunnemara to Kent , ( 700 miles , ) in qu « st of employ ment ; and to crown the whole , he praised the beggars and vagrants of Ireland , for the devout resignation with which they bore their unhappy lot

      In fact , all parties received a kind word from Dan , who , on this occasion , seemed to nave tuned all his antipathies in the tide of universal charity , and to see but one object in the world deserving of censure , namely , the Ministerial Poof Law B 2 T for Ireland . This Bill did not , in hia sight , possess one redeeming virtue . He attacked it morally , politically , and statisticall y . Morally by _ declaring that it would Bever all the'ties which united rich and poor , and dry up the charities of the country : —

      1 , 055 , 882 , { net * ery accurate , by the way , ) and , ff it were not € or * he want of Capital to purchtee pro--per manure for £ h ^ land and to Cultivate it weHj the land in Irelaad , would produce four timea a * much as that of England . "—Yet despite of these advantages in favour of Ireland , the ' average annual value of the agricultural produce of England , was £ 160 , 000 , 000 , whilst that of Ireland was . only £ 36 , 000 , -dOO , being more than four to one in favour of Engknd . Again , the gross rental of Ireland was estimated at £ 10 , 000 , 000 , that is to say . between

      a third and a fourth of the value of her entire agricultural producei Now , assuming Dan ' s Statistics to be correct , what are the legitimate inferences ? Why , of course , that the agricultural labourers of Ireland , are not half employed in the land ; and why are they not employed ? Because says O'Connell there is no Capita ! to employ them . But how the plague « an there be capital to employ them , if they be not allowed to produce the capital ? And if , of the capital they do produce , there be , upon his own showing , ten parts out of thirty-six absorbed

      annually Dy the landlords , who are not one in one thousand of the population ? The landlord he knows right well , are not producers , and but rarely , einpl < iyr ere ; consequently no additional capital . can " Coine from them . Is it right then that these fellows should get nearly a third of the enure produce , whilst the producers are left to scramble for what the farmers and profit-mongers choose to leave them out of-the other two thirds ? If , as O'CoiiNELi / says , the produce of England be four times greater than that of Ireland , and if Ireland , whenprvperly cultivated , yield four times as much ^ as England jit follow * that

      the produce of Ireland could be multiplied sixteen fold , or made sixteen times greater : than it is now . But how can tbe labourers makeit yieldthisincrease , if the landlords will neither give them lands to cultivate for themselves , nor give the fannerg the ^ means of employing them on the farmers' land ? In other words , if rents and profits in Ireland were so large a proportion to the annual produce ^ that the portion reserved for wages is insufficient-to maintain the producers during the process of reproductibnyhow can the soil be property "cultivated , and ^ whean * real capital accumulate in the country ? But O'Connell and his " tail" . talk as if the landlords were the

      producers , and as if all the burden fell upb'j thank They always assume that the landlords support the producers , instead of the producers supporting the landlords . " The land , " say theyj " cannot bear any additional produce , &c . " Why , the vagabonds ! they and the usurers are the only burden the land has to bear , for while they consume more than half of tbe annual capital , they replace none of what they consume or destroy . Hear what Mr . Powlett Thomson say 3—no great friend of the labourers , by the way . ;

      " He tad himself witnessed in a town in Ireland mis « rf to an extent he believed altogether unequalled in any countryhuman beings living in miserable hovels , ' for which they ; paid a rent of 30 s . or so , without a bed even of straw to / lie upon ; and yet the proprietor of the estate derived an income rrom it of about jf 20 , 000 a year . Well ^ did he contribute to the charitable institutions of the town ? Did he do . what eren

      tbe meanest peasant in the country was in the habit of doing —give » hit and a vup to his famishing neigjbour ? No such thing . He ( Mr . Thotuaon ) could find but one solitary in-, otancein which the owners of that large estate had contributed to that institution . ( Hear , hear . ) Uuiisea of Industry and other charitable institutions , therefore , were ineffectual and insufficient to relieve the distress which prevailed , owing to the absence of any compulsory law . " - , " ¦' : ¦ :.

      Here is the real cause of poverty in Ireland . '¦ . Bnt what says O'Comnell ?— - ^ Rents , ; wages , and profits "he says are the source of capital . If you impose additional burdens on the landholders and fanners , you take away the means of employing labourers , and consequently diminish wages , as well as " rents and profits . " What trash this is ! No ! O'Connell . Rents , wages , and capital are not the source of capital , but labour is the source of capital , and capital is the source of rents , wages , and profits . The consumers of rents and profits replace

      uene of the capital ; they take away ; but the consumers of wages do replace far more than they take away , or otherwise the former parties could not exist at all . The interests of society do therefore clearly require that the portion of capital called wages should be partly augmented by deduction made from rents and profits . The former is productive capital , the latter is not . The consumers of wages are always adding to the aggregate capital of a country , the consumer of rents and profits are always subtracting from it . To subtract from the two latter in

      order to add to the former , is therefore not ( as O'Connell and Co . pretend ) to diminish the resources of the country , but to add to them by augmenting the means of reproduction . If instead of a third qt or fourth , the landlords took away one half of the produce , whilst the farmers , shopkeepers , &c ., continue , as novr , to take the greater part of the remainder , there would be scarcely anything at all for the producers , and the result would be , that the land would go out of cultivation altogether , and society would be dissolved . So much for O'CoNNElt and

      his statistics ;—and so much for the opponents of the Ministerial Bill . Now what shall we say of its supporters ? I know not by what terms it is possible to suitably describe their foll y or their wickedness They admitted all O'Connell ' s statistics . They admitted that Ireland was neither a manufacturing nor a commercial country . They admitted that , as a purely agricultural country , it had no other means of augmenting its capital than by an improved cultivation of the soil . They admitted that its produce might be augmented sixteen fold bj folly employing

      1 , 131 , 715 agriculturists . Yet , in the teeth , of-all these admissions , they are preparing to lock the people up in workhouses , where it is manifest they can add nothing to the land ' s produce , and wherei nolens volens , they must be w dead burden npon their out-of-door neighbours ' . "What can yon do with such Legislators as these ? Is there even the appearance of honesty about them ? But the theine is too sickening to dwell on . I can only say—God pity the objects of their Legislative bounty ' . Excepting O'Connell , Shiel , and the Peyfl the Irish Poor could not be in worse hands , Yours , &c . BRONTERKE .

King wag discharged , there being no proof whatever to imjpHcate him ; but several wtt fessies proved that Mernon had offered tea for t ? ale in packets of about 4 6 z . ^ two of which he offered to Bell for la . ' 4 d . He said in bis defence that he came , from Hull , where he had h . vvife , in a delicate state of healthy and four small : children . He had bought . and paid for the tea , and thought there vras no harm in gelling it . He was committed to Wakiefield for fourteen days , for selling tea without a license , Stealing a Horse and Saddle and

      Bridle . —On Tuesday last , an old offender , named James Fox , who resided in Camp Fieldi Holbeck , was brought before Messrs . Claphum and Cadman , charged with Laving , on Saturday evening , about seven o ' clock , stolen a black pony , a saddle , and bridle , the property of Mr ^ Wm . Chadwick , farmer ^ of Hooley Mill , near Batley . It appeared that the prosecutor had put hia pony upjn a shed at Matthew Kitchen ' s , London Tavern , Vicar ' s Croft , Leeds , while he went into the boi « e to take a glass of ; ale . : H * e came out again in about twenty minutes , when he found the pony missing . . He made enquiries of the ostlers , but could receive no information . He next went to a friend's house , in Meadow-Lane ,

      Leeds , and remained there during the night . On the following rrtoruihg , he returned to the London Tavern , bat could still receive no tidings of his property ; he then went to the police office and gave information ; On Tuesday morning , in cohsequence of Sergeant Hepworth having received some intelligence that the prisoner had been offering a saddle for sale , he went to the house of the prisoner ' a mother ^ in Camp Field , and apprehended him in bed , on the charge of horse stealing . On the road to prison , the accused stated that he was done , and admitted that he had stolen the property , and had sold the horse to Benjamin Sugden , an extensive herrJng-dealer ) at Hunslet Hall , near Leeds . The policeman went to that place and ascertai led that

      he had sold it to a neighbour of the naine of Frederick Rodjey . From the testimony of Sujden , it 1 appeared , that he bought the horse for 32 .-I . 6 d . on the Saturday night , and on the Monday sold it for £ 3 ^ 5 s > to Rddley . The prisoner had disposed of tKe horse and bridle in the name of Joj ?« ph Bell , " stating' that be bad be « n bound for an in ( i ,. yidual in £ 30 ^ that he had to pay the money , and was obliged to raise that amount , or his . property would be seized . Tke saddle , the prisoner had offered for one shilling ^ to a neighbour of the name of Scott . The prosecutor had since , clearly identified the horse , saddle , and bridle , as hi'f property , he having had them for a number of vears . The prisoner was fully committed for trial to York Castle . ¦

      The Rev . Richard ¦ ¦ •^ nill , the zealous agent of the London Missionary Societ ) r , preached on Sunday week , and during the . week in all thelndependent Chapels in Leeds ; and ( Hi Thursday , he attended a public meeting in Rehoboth Chapel , Morley . Mr . Knill stated that the society had , during the last year , sent out no less than 61 'individuals to its Missiph Stations—a greater number than in any former yean Its expenditure , however , had considerably over-balanced its income , and the treasurer was , now in advance upwards of fourteen thousand pounds . The income of ¦ the last year was about £ 63 , 000 ; ' including upwards £ 4 j 000 collected for the Missionary 8 bipy and £ 4 , 500 granted by Government for the erection of schools in the "West

      Indies . Mr . Knill gave a thrilling and dreadful account of a supersritjon which has been lately discovered to prevail in a part of the Madras presidency , India , where ' the 1 farmers ^ are in the habit of fattening and killing boySj ( and : cuiiing their flesh front their bones whilst they are yet alive , and seiiding a piece of their flesh to each of their fields Pr plantations , that the blood may be squeezed out of it on the soil before- the child dies—thin being dona ] with the view of making the soil more fertile !

The defendant seemed to treat the charge with the utmost levity ; and to think it was a liiatter of entire indifference . He affected a contemptuous laugh duriig the time of the examinatiin . and turning to the reporter for this paper , said " If a word of this goes into . the Star , there shall never another Star come into our shop . " His impertinent threat was answered with a nod of

      indifference . At length the magistrate , Mr » Clapham , was so exasperated at his conduct that he suffered himself to get into a violent passion ^ His face was immediately like a fire , and turning to Clark , he said with such rapidity as indicated the state of his feelings , " Young man , I'll make you pay for that : you are lined £ 4 , 10 s . and costs , and in default of payment you are committed to Wakefield for two months . The court seemed electrified at the sudden decision ; for in less than half a minute before , the worthy magistrate seemed deliberating how he should best reconcile the parties .

Georye Brown , a stonemason was charged with assaulting a mail named Joseph ; Goldthorpe , at the same place .

He was fined 40 g . and costs , or in default of payment to be committed for one month . Both the assaults * were committed without any provocation being offered .

      Caution to JBeersellers . —On Wednesday last , a beer-house keeper , named Wiljiam Hudson , resident near Woodhouse Church , was charged with having persons drinking in his house at twenty-five minutes past ten o ' clock , on Saturday evening last Bullock laid the information .

Brown , near the place ; and had not beer / able to leave their work till nine o ' clock in the evening . They tbeii repaired to Hudson ' s to get each a glass of ale . It was proved that no beer was filled after twenty minutes . to ten o ' clock ; and Mr . Hudson positively declared that it was Hot more than nine , minutes paust ten o'clock when Bullock entered . Several witnesses testified

      it as their decided opiniop , that -the time was not later than what Hudson stated it to be . They also gave him an excellent character for keeping a quiet and orderly house . The magistrates , Messrs . Clapham and Musgrave , said they had no discretion , but to convict ; and he was mulcted in the penalty of 40 s , and costs . [ The gentlemen of the bench are very consistent . One says he has no discretion in such case , ' bjit must inflict the penalty ; the other exercises the- . fullest- ' discretion , and entirely does away with the penalty . ; Every beerseller should meet that humbug about ' ^ nodiseretion , " wirh the case reported in one of our numbers , when

      Messrs . Holdforth and Hebden convicted a beerseller in the costs only , and not in any penalty . " It was only on Wednesday last , that ; a man who had been guilty of a petty felony , besought , through the influence of his brother and his employer , that he might be liberated ; but Mr . Clapham said he had no discretion in the case ; whereas not ten minutes before , he had sentenced a man to be fined 19 s . lOd ^ who was proved guilty of a theft ; and on the day previously be had ordered a woman to be discharged who had stolen a quantity of cheese ; The . lastmentioned case was of course with the sanction of the prosecutor . But Mr . Clapliam has no discretion ! ! 1

      Ju YENiLE Conserv ATiyES . —These Lilliputi an ^ politicians had their dinner , at the Nag's Head Inn , ' on Friday week , PreyiOastP dining , about fifty of them walked in procession through the streets , preceded by a band of music , and accompanied by Mr . Robert Gamble , as tbeir . political inentor | most of them were extfemeiy j ' oung , so inucb so , that we perceived that one batch bad the family footman ; with them as their conservator . Those who have seen a herd of Scotch sheep defile through a

      mountain pass , will have a very adequate notion of this juvenile parading through-.. the streets . About 70 sat down to dinner , which , we understand , was a very good one . After the cloth was drawn , several of the young masters recited pretty well the speeches which theirpapas had taken much paiiis to . draw up for them . They had a small quantity of wine eacL The Jatter end of the proceedings was garnished with the speeches of some adult Tories , so that the whole formed a compound , .

      " Where hot abd coldj and wiet arid dry , And beef and broth , and apple pie , : Most slovenly assembled . " . ' . Radicai , Association . —Jh theLeedsMereurf of Saturday last , it was insinuated that this Association was all but defunct , —that it was suppose ^ it could barely survive the 1 expenditore of its funds , which now amounted to something under twenty shillings . The truth of the matter , we understand , is , the members of the association have , to a considerable extent , formed themselves into a brancK of tbe Socialists , who not only require to be emancipated from political disabilities , but seek also to free themselves ! from those disadvantages which

      attach to . their dependence on , and servitude pf jlandlords and capitalists . " They seek to annihilate those ^ appalling c ontrasts which everj-where present themsyyes in society , —of extreme indigence and extreme afBuencej— -of superfluity on the one hand , and destitution of the common necssaries of life on the other ; and , out of these inequalities of p hysical condition , political preferences and ; partiality arise . The Socialists , therefore , proclaim tiiemselw * fo be the true Radicals ; they strike at the root of ill the evils , political and otherwise . The dropping state of the Radical ( so called ) Associaiiion , therefore , cannot be regarded as any indication of aa indifference ^ on the . part of the people , to the attainnieut of their political rights . ; ;
