      Losgkvitt . —Died , at Baumber , near Horacastle , John Goddard , aee ninety-three , leaving six children , sixty : foar grandchildren , and upwards of one hnndred and sixty great-grandchildren . He worked as a labourer npwards of thirty years on the Wra « by turnpike road , but was blind for the last ten years . Died , at Milford , in her 103 rd year , Mary Durils , better knowa as " Old Aunt Mary . " She was a native of . Aberdeen , and at seventeen was married to a soldier , with whom she went to America , and whom she had fourteen

      by children , thirteen Bons and a daaghter . She followed the camp in the American war , and her hnsband and two of her sons took part in the fierce encounter on Bunker ' s HiJl ; subsequently her hnsband deserted her , when she becime an itinerant pedlar . She retained the use of her faculties to the day of her death . —Bristol Mercury . A female , named Mahine , died lately at Puy ( Haute Loire , ) having attained the age of 115 . She had never suffered from illness , and , it is asserted , preserved all her te « th till the last !

      Legalised Phtsical Force -New Mcskets asd Batosets . —It is probable that a new bayonet will be introduced into the army . It appears a formidable weapon , about two and a half feet in length , and one aad a half inch broad , and of a proportionate thickness . One edge is formed to cut as a 6 word , and the back is serrated like a saw . The serrated part would make an ugly wound difficult to be healed , bat it is intended as an assistant to cut palisades , and the great length given to the bayonet is intended as a protection against the attacks of the cavalry . The court of Directors have , we understandt - resolved on the introduction of percussion locks in ' the fire arms of the Indian army . 10 , 000 inuikets on this principle wero shipped for Calcutta in August last , and 100 , 000 in all had been ordered for tbe Bengal army alone .

      The AlSADVAtfTAGB OF BEING A GENTLEMAN . —A very fashionably dressed middle-aged , but elimly formed person , who gave his name Charles Kendall , was placed at the bar at Marlborongh-street policeoffice , on Saturday last , charged with being drunk and disorderly . The offence having been proved , the magistrate asked the prisoner in what station of life he was . He replied a genvleman . Mr . Rawlinson—Oh , indeed , a gentleman , then I must inflict the highest penalty of 40 s . for this offence . Defendant—That is extremely inconvenient to me . I hope yon will alteryour decision . Mr-Rawlinson—Indeed 1 shall not ; if you are , as you say , a gentleman , you must pay scot for it . Defendant—Tue truth is , I have no money about me . Mr . Rawlinson—I cannot alter

      my decision . I must treat you the same as a poor man . Why should I make the distinction ? Defendant—Because I am without money . Mr . Rawlinson—No gentleman is ever without money . You must pay the fine , or be locked up . Tne defendant , begging for a further remonstrace to his worship , was then consigned to the lock-up cell . A Rvufus i .-v a Ton AAD JgEfiT Shop . —A longle £ j ? ed lant « rn-jawed beer-shop keeper , named Smith , summoned a jolly laugh-and-grow-fat little cobbler , at tbe Borough Court of Requests , for the sum of 5 a ^ the amount of a score , and half-a crown more for sundry glasses , which the latter , it was said , had broken , while under the influence of heavy wet . " I keeps the Velington , my lord , " said the

      long-shanked swipe merchant , " and this here wagabone owes me seven an' a tanner for licker and brokea glasses , and he von't pay a fardeo , so l're pulled him up afore yer vorships jist to git satisfaction ont of the warmint . " Commissioner— I don ' t know how it is , but you beer-shop keepers are always engaged in some disturbance or other ; beershops appear to be the very hot-beds of brawling . Pray , how did all these glasses get broken ! " Plaintiff— " He got fightiriR with a couple of dustmen and capsized ' em- When s cobbler gits lusby , my lord , he ' a wewy quarrelsome" Commissioner—** I snppose thfr dnstmen helped to break the glasses . ' " Plaintiff— " No ; he did it all himself , my lord ; t ' others did no mischief votsumever . "

      Commissioner ( addressing the defendant)— " Well , what have you got to say against paying this 7 s . 6 d . 1 " Defendant— " Please yer veTship , arter finishing vurk at night , I used to valk into the Velington to heDjoy a pipe and a pint , and conwerse a little about polyticks an' sich like . " Commissioner— " Do you admit the debt ! " Defendant— " I owes the five bob , yer vership , but as for tbe glasBeB I knows nuffin about ' em , s ' help me bob ; the dustmen vos the coveys , yer vership . Here Sammy , old feller , step forrard , and conwincehis vership . " H Sammy , " a pot companion of the defendant , was accordingly introduced to the notice of the court .

Thk Falls op the Niagara . —Gullibility . — Some of the papers this morning contain what is called an extra from the " office of the Advertiser , Buffalo , Feb . 14 , four o ' clock , " giving an account of the destruction of the Falls of Niagara A slight glance at it will convince any one that it is a hoax , and by no means a good one , got up by some witling who probably never saw the falls . We will point out a few of the indicia leading to this conclusion . l .-The article was not written , although purporting to have been , by the editor of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser . We know hi 3 siyle too well . He never deals in such inflated , windy language as the account presents . 2 . Tbe extra purports to be dated at Buffalo on Sunday evening at four o ' clock , and it was received In

      this city last evening . This could not be done . 3 . " Biddle Towsr and the adjoining gronnd work bad disappeared . " Mr . Biddle never built a tower at the Falls . Some year 3 ago he caused to be built a staircase on Goat Island , leading down to the Falls , which goes' by bis name . 4 . " The watermade a subterraneous passage , and burst through the wall of Goat Island . " Absurd . 5 . " The hotel i 3 gone . It is believed no lives have been lost ? ' The last clause is correct ; and there can have been no lives lost , because there was no hotel to be carried a « ay . The nearest hotel is the Clifton House , far below the falls . P . S . —Sin : * the above was in type the northern mail , only due this afternoon , has arrived , and brought us the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of Saturday evening , the latest which could be expecied . The Albany papers of yesterday are silent on the subject . The hoax was probably got up in this city . —New York Commercial A dvertiser .

      Cecxltt i . h a Lmos Wokkhocsb . — Thomas Quanby , a master shoemaker in the Limehoase Poorhouse , one of the workhouses or bastiles of the Supney Union , was brought before Mr . Ballaatine , at the Thames office , on Saturday , charged with committing a most brutal and unprovoked assault on Charles Watts , a boy aged thirteen years . The boy , who appeared in bad health , was stripped , and his shoulders and arms presented a mass of black bruises . It appeared from his statement , that at the earnest desire of a sick child in the house , who retained an affection for him , he was allowed to nurse and attend the invalid , and while performing some kind offices for his charge , he was asked by the nurse of the sick-ward what he was doing ? He

      replied , somewhat pertly , that he was attending to his business . This answer displeased the nurse , and she lodged a complaint to the prisoner , who chastised the boy by inflicting some blows on his hand . The boy went away muttering , and he was immediately called back by the prisoner , who took op a strap and gave him a dreadful beating across the Bhoulders and inflicted the bruises visible on his person . The lad came to the office for a warrant on Friday afternoon , and then exhibited his back and shou'ders to the ushers , and it was apparent that he had been punished in a most savage manner . The warrant was granted , and yesterday morning Douglas , a police constable , attached to the Court , went to the Union-house to execute it , when he ascertained that

      the poor boy was in confinement , and had been locked up by the prisoner ' s order . Douglas caused him to be set at liberty , and was an eye-witnesB of the prisoner ' s brutality , for he struck several boys while be was present . Douglas said the master of the house had requested him to state that no corporeal punishment was permitted by the Guardians , on any pretence whatever , and that the prisoner would not be permitted to strike any of the boys with a strap . A heavy shoemaker ' s strap , formed of stout leather , with which the punishment was inflicted , waB produced , Donglas added there was no do&bt the prisoner would be discharged for committixig each » wanton outrage on the boy . The prisoner , in defence , s « 4 a woman , tae nurse of the sick ward , complained that the boy was saucy , and witn

      he gave him two ox taree "flips " on the nana a strap , which he did not seem to mind , and began to mutter something , and he then , in the heat of pafsion , took ap the strap prodoced , and flogged bun with it . He » ust confess he had laid on too heavily ; he did not mean to be bo unduly severe , and was very sorry for it . Mr . Ballantyne said the boy had not received that wholesome correction which , m the event of his having miscoadncted himself a father would inflict on his own child , bat he had been illused in a -wanton , and savage manner , -which , could not be tolerated . Tbe prisoner was an ill-tempered intemperate man to use the boy so cruelly , ana ne sentenced him to pay a fine of forty shillings and costs , and ordered that the conviction . rfioaW ° * reported to the Board of Guardians , » ad toe D 9 J looked after .

      THE NORTHERN STAR SATURDAY , MARCH 20 . 1841 .

      OUR PROSPECTS . So we head this article , borrowing the title from onr talented and generally well-received contemporary the Dublin World , of Feb . 13 th , 1841 , in which appeared a leader , under the above designation , coBtaining some sentiments which require a feyr remarks from us . We have , at all times , stated it as our deliberate conviction , that the World was by far the best of the Irish press ; and even in this article we have evidence that our

      estimation of it has not been without reason ; though we have also evidence of the condition of unhappy Ireland , in which even & honest patriot , writing for his country , finds it hazardous to let loose the full tide of principle , and is fain to embank himself behind such ramparts of expediency as may be dictated by the great master tradesman , who makes merchandize out of misery , and lives and thrives upon corruption , by the constant turning of it over and altering of its name .

      In his pleasing and joyous anticipations for tbe future , and to realise which , we may observe by the way , requires something much more efficient than merely talking or writing about them , tbe Editor has gone somewhat out of his way to abuse the Northern Star , and to advocate that mischievous and nondescript thing , H-o-u-s-e-hold Suffrage ; and all this , too , under the fairest and most unmistakeable professions of sincere attachment to the principles and objects of the People ' s Charter .

      No doubt all this may be perfectly reconcileable to the enlightened vision of our contemporary , with strict consistency , \ ud an unflinching adherence to principle ; but , to our ordinary comprehension , it looks marvellously like inconsistency and "blarney . " Our friend , however , shall speak for himself , as we would not , for the world , misrepresent " The World " on such a subject . " The principles of Chartism , in our opinion , and we would be glad to find any good authority which could dispute it , are recognized by every constitutional writer . The individual who is governed by laws of which be exercises so influence in the making can be viewed

      in no other light than r slave . He may be fed , clothed , and permitted to walk about , but he is as much tbe creature of the tyrant who rules over him as his horse or dog . We , therefore , are the advocates of Universal Suffrage , because we feel that it is based upon truth and justice , and moreover , that it baa been highly beneficial to those countries which have made it the balwtrk of popular privileges . Far be it , however , from us not to receive with delight such an instalment as Household Suffrage , not partially as suffered to exist in twrooghmongering days when it was productive of bribery and corruption , but upon an extensive scale , which would afford both friends and foes a

      foretaste of what might be expected from the people if a more universal enfranchisement took place . The Northern Star blusters away at a red rate against Household Suffrage , and has a comfortable way of its own of condemning every person who recommends it , ¦ without ever devising a plan , at least that we can comprehend , for the procuring of its Universal Suffrage scheme- Storming towns at night ; getting shot , transported , and incarcerated ; swarming upon moors ; and drawing money almost hourly from the wretched working-men , is not the way to carry the charter . Indeed , could Universal Suffrage have been carried when tbe Convention sat in Bolt-court , which would have

      transferred the members of that august body to the House of Commons , we rather think that the Northern Star , in its present mind , would be inclined to regard the boon as a very equivocal blessing . " Let our readers mark every part of this quotation well . " The principles of Chartism , in our opinion , are recognised by every constitutional writer . " Very well ! Then we are not anarchists , revolutionists , or any other ists , that may cause alarm to any human heart . We are only contending for what every constitutional writer declares to be our rights .

      Bat we have not merely constitutional law in our fawe have that also which is of infinitely more importance , —the law of natural right and equity . Thus proceeds our friend across the water : — " The individual who is governed by laws of which he exercises no influence in the making , can be viewed in no other light th&u as a slave . " Now we do not think any argument can be more sound than this , or demonstrate , in fewer words , the abstract and undeniable justice of the principles for which we are contending . If for an individual to have no voice in the

      enactment of those laws by which his life and property are protected , constitute him a slave , then it appears to us to be as clear as day , that in order to remove the slave mark it is absolutely neoessary to give to all the franchise , and thua enable them to exercise their proper influence in the making of tbe laws . This , we should have thought , must be the conclusion to which all must have come , who were at all capable of drawing conclusions from admitted premises . But , alas , for our weak judgment , the World is against us . " It , " says our friend , meaning Universal Suffrage , ** is based upon truth and justice ; and , moreover , has been highly beneficial in those countries which have made it the bulwark of popular privileges . " This , we suppose , must be taken as an Hibernian prophecy ; for , up to this

      hour , no such country has existed in the memory of recorded history . To the next words we beg espeoial attention . " Far beit , however , from us , not to receive with delight such an instalment as Household Suffrage , upon aa extensive scale , which would afford both friends and foes a foretaste of what might be expected from tbe people , if a more universal enfranchisement took place . " It would be impossible , we think , for any man in the world to cram into the same space a greater quantity of false reasoning and blundering logic , then is exhibited by the forty-five words we have just quoted . First comes the fallacj that Household Suffrage is to be considered as an instalment . This humbug won't do now ; it gained tbe Reform Bill ; but eight years of Reform misgovernment have tanght us a lesson , which , tbe World may rely upon it , the people will not forget .

      We were told , then , by the patriots of the day , that the Reform Bill was an instalment ; and we , good BOnls , took it , because Gbey , Bbotjgham , and Co ., assured us , upon their M h * nour , " that it TTM all thev , by peaceable means , were able

      to get , Oun , but that , having ^ t a part , it would lead to the seenring of the whole . Now , this was fair spoken , and the people confided . We are not disposed to Name them for their confidence , but we do tell them not to be caught in another trap ; and one , too , that is not baited half so plausibly as the last one . We hare got , as yet , no offer of Household Suffrage from the middle classes , though it is plain that , were they 00 disposed . they could gire us that , Of . My other measure , to-morrow . »_ ^ . » .... " . . . - -

      But , suppose we had the offer , would they offer it as an instalment ! The Wprld knows , as well as we do , that if conceded at all , it would not be even offered as aright , but aa a boon , for which every one of the " Establishment" would tell us we ought to be moBt humbly thankful . But this said doctrine of instalments is itself based upon a false and mischievous view of the Bubjeot . At the utmost , it only considers the political and social rights of the masses as a debt due to them from the privileged orders . Now , we contend that the deprivation of those rights was a bold and shameless robbery , perpetrated according to _ " The good old plan ,

      When he shall take who hath the power , And he shall keep who can ;" And , we ask , who ever heard of stolen property being repaid by insta l ments i The only favour the robber can expect , even from mercy and forbearance itselfi is to be allowed to go away scathless upon the restoration of his plunder to the rightful owner . But we offer more than this ; we offqr a full participation in all the good we seek to obtain , even to those who have reviled and maltreated us ; and yet , so much are some of our friends of "this world , " attracted by the fine appearance and plausible manners of the rascals who have reduced us almost to

      ruin , that thpy wish to make them the judges in their own cause , and talk of receiving what of our rights they please to offer us as an instalment ; and this , too , before their middle class pets have condescended even to intimate an intention of offering anything at all ) Then , again , the World shrinks with horror at the idea of refusing such an instalment as Household Suffrage . We should shrink with loathing and abhorrence from any such rascally scheme as Household Suffrage involves . We claim the right of the Suffrage for man , because he is man , and not because he lives in a house of a certain value . If the value of the house , or tbe property , is the test of fitness , then , to be consistent , if £ 10 qualifies for a

      vote , £ 11 should qualify for a vote and one-tenth ; that is , every ten £ 11 houses should have eleven votes , inasmuch as they have got au extra qualification among them . And so for all houses of greater value—the £ 20 man having a double vote . To us , however , it appears that the houseless wanderer has quite as good , or even a belter , title to a vote , than the most opulent householder ; because it is plain that some morbid arrangement of society , ( except incases of personal criminality , ) has deprived him of the shelter to which , by virtue of his being a man , he had an undoubtable claim ; and , consequently , he has a right to the elective franchise , to enable him , by his representative , to change an order of things so unnatural and destructive .

      But the crowning absurdity of this strange sentence is , that this instalment is a tale put forth as a feeler , as to how the people might be expected to act if they should recover the whole of their just rights . This ia just like saying to a thief , when the hue and cry is out against him , " get away , and send the better portion of the stolen money back , to see if it will be employed in feeing an attorney to drag you to the gallows . " Suppose this boasted " instalment" offered and accepted / what

      might be " reasonably expected" to be the conduct of all those who had no choice in it , but who were told , " wait patiently till we see how the measure works , and if it works well , you will have no cause to grumble ; and if it does not , you can then demand further concessions . " Yes , and have all the additional influence of the newly enfranchised to contend against !! Thank you , good World , for this sage piece of advice ; but it won ' t do . We listened to such logiO a 8 this in 1831 , and wo are now reaping the fruits of our folly .

      Believe us , those fruits are too bitter to tempt us to sow another time , with the certain prospect of a similar and equally inefficient crop . Our right good friend goes on to rate the Northern Slar for what he calls our " sad rate of blustering away against Household Suffrage , " aud says that we never propose a plan that he can comprehend for the attainment of our Universal Suffrage scheme 1 We beg to tell him that Universal Suffrage jb no scheme of ours ; it emanated long before before we came , either naturally or politically , into existence , and it would survive and flourish if we should

      become defunct to-morrow ; being based upon the rock of universal truth and justice . But , heaven help us ! if we are to be held accountable for the dullness of comprehension of our worthy contemporary . We do our best to be plain aad intelligent , but we never pretended to supply brains as well as newspapers . We agree with the World , that " storming towns at night ; getting shot , transported , and incarcerated ; swarming upon moors , and drawing money almost hourly from the wretched working men , is not the way to carry the Charter ; " but , we ask , when did we ever say they were ; or when did

      we advise " storming towns at night , " or any other plan of physical or forcible outbreak f We always b&w and proclaimed the madness and folly of such things ; but we did not , therefore , feel justified in deserting those who had allowed their simple honesty to be overreached by spies and traitors ; and we did , therefore , call , and the tyranny of the Government , and of middle-class magistrates , Juries , and money-mong « rs , has compelled us to do so much more frequently than we would have desired , upon tbe working men to collect their pence together , to oppose those who , from their hard earnings , were constantly extracting pounds .

      To the remark about the Convention we have only one observation to make . We should , indeed , deem any suffrage not only a very equivocal blessing , but a positive curse , which should transfer either the members of the Convention , or any other parties , to the benches of tbe House of Commons , unless chosen by a majority of the unbiassed votes of the people . But we have not yet done . Let our readers read and mark the following tit-bit of blarney and botheration : —

      " The Chartists would not hiss down Mr . O'Connell , or offer him personal indignity , because on some occasions he spoke rather severely of them , neither will they , we are sure , distrust Joseph Hume , the unplaced , onpensioned champion of the working clurses—indeed , ot tbe injured of every class and clirae—because , in doing so , they are aware that they would not be serving Mr . Feargus O'Connor , while they would be laying themselves open to the charges which are preferred against them by their enemies of being brutal and unthinking . "

      The Chartists would not hiss Mr . O Cornell at the Leeds meeting ; Mr . O'Connell was eo well convinced of this that he took especial care not to furnish them with the opportunity . He was not there ; for he dare not mlet the honest hearts and blistered hands ^ f the working men of Yorkshire . He knew that the blood-money for which he sold tbe children of Manchester , and the slanders which his foul tongue had uttered against the women of England , would neither be forgiven nor forgotten , and , like a bullying coward , a dunghill cook as ho it , he sneaked into a snug seat at the 7 s , 6 d . dinner , at which he was not likely to meet with any of those , at tbe very thoughts of whom his heart trembled and quaked with fear .

      So much for tbe ChartiBts not hissing Dan . Let ns now have a word or tw » about " brown-bread Joseph . " " Neither will they , ( the Chartists , ) we are sure , distrust Jcsira Hume , the unplaoed , unpensioned champion of th « working

      Untitled Article

      classes . " We admit that Joky is unplaced , and unpenaioned , but we should like to know whether either place or pension was ever placed within his reach , or offered to his acceptance . We think little of that virtue which stands , having never been enforced by temptation to a fell . His championship of the working classes is , to our minds , of a very questionable character . . He thought such a luxury as white bread quite unnecessary for the hand-loom weavers ; he has been * a out-and-out supporter , —ohampion , if the World likes it better , —of the the Devil-king bastile law ; and we have now in our office ft well and respectfully written petition , from a Scotch working man , in favour of the Charter , which was sent to him for presentation , and which he refused to present , because it was the petition of an individual .

      Mr . Feargus O'Connor does hot want his friends , the ChartiBts , to serve him ; he has laboured for them in a manner which has enshrined him in their hearts , and we know that the only return he looks for is their steady adherence to principle , and their ceaseless perseverance , till the glorious cause for which he and hundreds are suffering , be achieved and perfected . " It is a nice point , " says the World , " how far advisable it might be for them to abandon the advancement of their own cause for a season to procure privileges for others . " We believe so ; yea , a point so nice that the World will never be able to settle it between this and its doomsday } though there is not a

      poor operativeChartistin all England or Scotland who would not settle it in three seconds . " If an administration make Household Suffrage a Cabinet question , there would be no alternative left for all classes of Reformers , bat to support the measure in the same way as the BlU of Earl Grey was sustained by the country . " Not so fast . We are wide awake now ; we have seen the result of Earl Ghey ' s Bill , in accumulated misery and wretchedness , and we shall not allow thai farce to he acted over again . We promise the World that while we live , Household Suffrage shall never pass into a law because of the support ministered to it , by " all classes of Reformers . "

      So much for the World ' s principle . Now turn we to the pot and kettle , under the cover of which we find the following bit upon our fiscal arrangements . The World sayB , after speaking of shooting , transporting , and meeting on moors , always forgetting Rathcormao , Walstown , « fec , " and drawing money almost hourly from the wretched working men . " Now as there is nothing like fair-play , we beg to give the quid pre quo of Irish agitation—here then is the quid : —

      " Dublin . March 10 . —The Repeal movement , under the direction of Tom Reynolds , the Inspector-General Of Repeal Wardens , progresses apace in the provinces . On Sunday next there is to be a groat gathering of the Anti-Unionista on the Curragh of Kildare , at which Mr . OConnell—who will reach town on Friday next , on his way to Galway , where he is specially retained in an important record case—will attend . In Wuterford , Kilkenny , Carlow , and Kildare , the organization for the collection of the Repeal rent is almost completed . Tom Reynolds has appointed collectors IN EVER ? PARISH , TOWN , VILLAGE , AND-HAMLET IN THOSE COUNTIES , and WHEN TUB MACHINERY IS PUT TO Whh WORK , IT JS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE FROM £ 500 TO £ 1 , 000 PER WEEK . "

      " From the World , 13 th March . " The Secretary having read a letter received from Mr . T . Reynolds , announced the amount of the Repeal Rent for the week to be £ 67 I 8 s . 3 d . " Now for the pro quo from the columns of the World . — " Every one must be as tired aa we are ourselves of the mere party fight about the Registration BUI . The great difference between the Tories and the Whigs is that the former are most anxious for the success of Lord Stanley ' s Bill , while the latter would do anything hut abandon Downing-street sooner than see their own project carried . Let any impartial person peruse the debate and then say if he can give the Ministers

      credit for sincerity in introducing the measure . The fact of the case is that some clap-trap was required to enable the Whigs to cling for a season to office , and nothing bettor could be hit upon than this hastily concocted Registration scheme . Here was a decoy-duck to answer the purposes of those who were deatitnte of principle , and at the same time procure for them a temporary supply of popular support . Had Ministers boldly recommended Household Suffrage they could not have surrendered the measure at their convenience , but in this instance no such difficulty stands in their way , and they will be able to propitiate the Conservatives , if requisite , by abandoning their £ 5 clause , the only popular feature in the bill . We may be disposed

      to view matters with too much severity , but we should be willing to make a tolerable wager that , after all the fuss raised , something very like the Bill of Lord Stanley will be accepted . Why , it would be preposterous to think otherwise ; for did not Lord Howick , now a candidate for place , prove that the Ministry had not long ago proposed a measure for the registration of Irish voters , in no material point of a dissimilar description ? The discussion , if in no other way useful , has had the effect of bringing clearly before the public the true cause of contention between the rival parties , and showing how far those at the helm of affairs can be induced to go when they feel that the people can no longer be cajoled by idle professions .

      The unpopularity of the Melbourne Cabinet has been long increasing , but it recently arrived at that pitch when it was discovered no exertion would be made longer to sustain it . Now it was that the Conservative party pressed upon the drooping phalanx of Whiggery , and , gaining one election after another , carried the war into the bosom of St . Stephen ' s . Terror , like lightning , flashed through every public office , and there was trembling among the tribe of well-paid placemen , who saw that if a tub of some sort were not thrown out to the whale , they must prepare to perish . This led to the bringing forward of the Registration Bill of Lord Morpeth , and if a more decided tone were adopted , and a determination to look

      for measures of generel good , instead of being satisfied with beholding the promotion of a few intriguing individuals , we might soon hope to see them carried . The country , however , has not acted upon this wise plan , but seemed quite overjoyed as one political charlatan after another took his seat upon the Treasury benches ; and it is , therefore , not wonderful that those in high places" should at length begin to consider that this vai all which was necessary for tne wellbeing of the community . To give a ci-devant demagogue an office worth some couple of thousands a-year , or te confer some mark of distinction upon a Whig Peer , who allowed himself to be described as a Liberal , was deemed more than sufficient to recompence foi

      the actual misgovernment of millions . The Bill , we have before stated , will not at present pass , nor indeed for a length of time , if its framers can help it ; but it will be instrumental in giving salary aud patronage to those in effice for another session . The interest of this debate has been rendered palatable by the strong spice of personality and recrimination introduced into it Sir James Graham , himself a very degraded specimen of a political renegade , brought tbe inconsistencies of Lord John Russell into bold relier , and received well-merited punishment from Richard Lalor Shiel , who , in his turn , was

      dreadfully peppered by Sir Robert Feel . The desertion of principle has of late years been so extensive and glaring , that ifc required no great ingenuity to convict hoMurab !* gentlemen upon either side of the House of this delinquency . You were the advocates of the Ballot , ' says the Treasury retainer to the apostate oppositionist . 'Aye , but , " quoth another , by way of rejoinder , * you wh 6 are now tsalous for the extension of the franchise when it can maintain Ministers in place , formerly exerted yourself to diminish it , by depriving the Irish forty-shilling freeholders of their rights . This is bitter repartee , but still it gives us not a very exalted notion of the political integrity of either Whig

      or Tory . " " From the World , 13 th March . " We would be far indeed from insinuating that Mr . O'Connell , In agitating the question of Repeal , aims at nothing more than keeping the present anti-Repeal administration in power ; but it is impossible to peruse the address which he has just transmitted to the Loyal Association » t the Cwrn Exchange , to be circulated through Ireland , without arriving it some such conclusion . " " Fr « m the World , 13 th March .

      11 We Kgret that we have lately been compelled to speak bo diseouraglngly concerning the prospects of Repeal—bat our duty , was obvious—and we had no alternative but to deal with feets as we found them . In almost every part of the kingdom the people are ready to make immense sacrifice * to achieve a measure which they are conscious can alone benefit their country ; ina raise it from its present Abject state . But a doubt prevails that the agitation is not earried on with sincerity—which U highly injurious to the progress ol the cause . "

      Let the World dispassionately look on both pictores . Io the one , we find that from £ 500 to ^ 1 , 000 weekly is now sought for , and expected to put the fool ' s cap upon the head of the World ' * Irish folly . We find a aiuglo week ' s " rent" estimated at more by £ 7 than is required by the English Chartists for a great national work .

      Since 1832 , we have had nine sessions of Par * liament , the present delightful and promising ona inclusive , during which time Ireland has had irora forty to fifty " liberal members , " whose elections , together with beggar's rent , Association rent , and humbug rent , has cost the " wretched working men" getting sixpence a day , above three hundred thousand pounds ; to which , add tttQ millions voted recklessly by the said "liberal" Irish members , and paid by the " wretched working meu" of England , and the swarms of lice placed for life upon the back of the Irish beetle , and then see the World ' s own acknowledgment of services rendered , and say g M m

      whether or not the Irish quo is equivalent to tha Irish quid . While , in the same period , England has had a Convention of between forty and fifty men sitting in London for six months , a Specif Commission that cost above £ l , 200 j four hundred prisoners defended by able , counselj their families supported for twelve months , and all at an expence short of five thousand pounds , or foul months' interest , at five per cent ., of the enormous sum swallowed Hp by Irish paJriotsj while Ireland is still in the position complained of by the World , indeed by the whole world , whil » England id able to beat her united factions .

      N . B . Of the £ 300 , 000 the Liberator has had , nearly one half to his own cheek ; enough to give any one but an Irish * patriot , a lock-jaw , and it only makes the Liberator gape the wider . Let it be always borne in mind , that the £ 3 G 0 5000 was to keep the Whigs , ( of-whom the Worldla tired , ) in Downing-street .

      Mb . Francis Mellon . —There appeared in the Star of December 5 , 1840 , a letter from one of thr most ardent and persevering of our political pioneers in Ireland , dated from Antrim , November , 25 , 1840 . In this letter the writer , Francn Mellon , after stating the progress which the principles of the Charter were making in Antrim ^ alludes to the opposition and persecution uhich he had met from the opponents of political equality , and states , that , these , mean and contemptible shadows of men , not being able io suppresm his ardency and enthusiasm for the cause , had basely and cowardly turned their schemes on hit mother , a widow of near seventy years of age . They succeeded . His father , in the year 1828 ,

      lost MS life at Antrim Castle , by an accident , and since that time , Lord Ferrard , the owner of tht castle , allowed her two shillings per week as a compensation for her loss . These mean scoundrels applied to Lord Ferrard , and succeeded in causing her weekly trifle to be taken from her . A correspondent would suggest to the Committeg of the Victim Fund , the propriety of placing Mrs , Mellon on the list of receivers from the Victim Fund , adding that , respecting the justice and the absolute necessity for this act there can be no doubt , for , by the praiseworthy exertions of a young but untiring advocate of Chartism , an aged and widowed mother has been deprived of the little pittance doled out to her to asssist her in her short pilgrimage through life . Our corref pondent states ( hat he has known Mr . Mellon
