      The Fatskr of Eswabd Jokes , the boy who his three time 3 intruded into Buckingham Palace , las sent a letter to the newspapers , complaining of tbe treatment which the lad has received . Mr . Jones says that his son ' s desire to intrude into the Palace is " an insaneiaea . " He complains that the boy has feeen tried by a secret court , ( at the Home Office ) instead of by a Jury ; and that his health has been injured by imprisonment , over-work , and bad diet . The careless attendants at the Palace , the writer « ays , who bo ill protect its entrances , ought to be punished rather than the boy . Mr . Jones further «© mpl » in 3 that he and hiB wife were harshly and disrespectfully treated when they attended at the Police Office , and when the feelings of the mother induced her to refuse her consent to her son being

      seat to sea . The having been in prison , too , has prevented Edward Jones from procuring employment . Jl 5 < bxkfxtl Collision took place off Cork harbour , in a dense fog , on Friday , between the barque Royal Saxon , with emigrants , bound for Port Philip , and ihe Abel Schooner , coal laden , from Swansea to Cork . The emigrant ship eseaped unhurt ; the aohooner Bank , but , providentially , all the crew were ao-ved . .

      Deplorable Case of Destitution . —Thismorning , as the policemen on duty in the Regent ' s Park , were passing near the Governor ' s Grate of the Zoological Gardens , they discovered a poor woman , with two children , one about two years , and the © flier between three and four years of age , in the last stage of starvation . Prompt restoratives were immediately administered , and the children have partially recovered , but the mother is still in danger . She is the widow of a poor agricultural labourer , wfeo , having migrated from Korthamptonshire to work on the railways sear London , died in January last , leaving her and the two . children utterly destitute .

      W-ALWOKTH A 5 D CaMBEBWELL ChaBTEB AsSOCIatjos . —This Society continues to hold its weekly xneeting 3 at the Rose and Crown , Walwortn Road ; and the cause is progressing steadily in this quarter of the Metropolitan environ 3 . At the last meeting , ou Monday efening , a resolution was passed , approbatory of Mr . O'Connor ' s plan ' for a Petition Convention , aad a collection was made in furtherance « f that object . Petitions are getting up in favoar of t ne liberation of all political victims , and a great number of signatures have already beeD obtained . The people declare themselves determined aot to relax m their efforts , until they have obtained tbe release of their persecuted brethren from the fangs of their cruel tormentors ; and , to prove their ** faith " by good works , " they hare commenced a sabscriptioa for the martyTed Clayton , which i s going on very satisfactorily .

      Thb PzrraoH CoMmneE- —Ls ^ t evening , ibis Committee assembled at tneir weekly meeting rooms , the Dispatch Coffee House , Bride-lane Fleet-street , Mr . Biils in the chair . The minutes of the last meeting having been confirmed , the secretary , ( Jlr . J . W . Parker J reported the result of an interview between hiaseif and Mr . Cleave , with T . S . Duuoomhe , Esq . M . P ., relative to the case of Mr . Carrier , now in the Wiltshire House of Correction . A mexnor al to Lord Nonn&nby , in his behalf , Tas adopted ^ ad signed by the Committee .

The Committee have been materially assisted in their labours , ~ bj tne willingness of Mes&rs . Hume and Dnncombe , to jir-e ^ ent their petuujus . In the course of the evening , . Mr .

      doip £ in future what I may believe to be right , I would etrjure all my imprisonment , with all its severe hardships , over and over again . But to show th&t this declaration does not proceed from atubboroneu or temerity , I am ready most freely to make any acknowledgment which the case may require , wherever I may nave committed an error : my conduct has hitherto bees marked with openneu and candour , aad I shall eodeavoor to maintain it , cost what it may . If , tiien , under these restrictions , anyt&fng can be done far me , all I ean say U ; it will be duly appreciated . " Tbe particular * of my ease which you ask for , are : — First , I am in prison , and I wiah to get oat Secondly ^ . .

      my food consist * of bread , potatoes , and water-gruel , which is not tuffldently nutritious to preserve the constitution in a healthy state for the space of two yean , especially in a prison where all is gloom , and dull monttony , and soiitede , unchecked by social intercourse ; which act most powerfully upon the body by depressing the spirits and enervating the mind . It it sufficiently obviout , therefore , that I want better food . I also wish to be allowed pens , ink , and paper , and newspspen ; and that my correspondence be unrestricted , that I may bare it in my power to repel the attacks that I have been informed have been made upon me , " with the view of preventing my friends from interesting themselves in my behalf .

      - 1 ought , perb » p « , to tell 70 a , that I addressed a memorial to lVont Kormanby , on tbe 27 th of January , in which I requested the above indulgences , and also that ay friends be allowed to visit me in my cell at all ¦ easooable hours , with some others , which I do not at present remember . First of all , however , I asked for the s * mm * m tntum , liberty ; but it appears that all the Noble Marquis could feel himself justified in advising ber Majesty to grant was , the remission of that part of my sentence which subjected me to hard labour ; and this was carried into effect on the 13 th of February . " You will excuse the length of this , I hope ; it is so seldom I write ( or , I should sdd , speak , for I am on the silent system too , ) that I scarcely know when to leave off

      THE POOR LAW . IRISH SYMPATHY FOR THE ENGLISH POOR , All comment upon the sordid meanness and cronching rascality of the Irish joints of the Treasury tail is rendered unnecessary by the undeviating practice of these " pot-walloppers "—these cupboard " patriots . " We give , however , the names of the following nineteen , who voted for the full measure of atrocity

      proposed by Monkey Russell : —Blake , Bodkin , Bsabazojj ( Lord ) , Callaghan , Evaks , Gisbornb ( one of the Anglo-Irish patriots , M . P . for the County of Carlow ) , How aed ( another Anglo-Irish patriot ) , Hume ( the old " brown loaf , " and one of the " boys of Kilkenny )/ ' Martin , Nokrzts , Sir J . D . OTJbien ( not Bbonteere ) , O'Connell , Sir J . Pi-GOn ( Attorney-General ) , Roche , Shkil ( the Right Honourable R . L . ) , Someeville ( Sir W . ) , Stocks ( Mr . Sergeant ) , Wysr , and Ashton Yatks , ( coadjutor of Tom Gisborse for County of Carlow ) .

      Now , don ' t the English people owe the patriots a a signal debt of gratitude 1 And of the fifty-one dissentients , not one single Irishman of any shade or colour of politics or religion . We also find H . G . Wabd , and E . Pbotheroe , and C . Wood ( our Tt * lif » T M . P . E ) , in the list of starvebeggars . Will the men of Halifax allow them to enter into the town—aye , even into ths town—again to insult the people ! If they do , wo hope they'll pat them upon salts and senna for the rest of their lives .

      THE MANCHESTER CORN LAW MEETING . We stole an awkward march upon our Manchester Whig friends by a bit of an express last week , by which means we administered the antidote with tbe poison . There appears to be much mystery in the whole affair . The Morning Chronicle of Monday is silent upon the " important Bubject f the Guardian declares it" unsafe to hold any more meeetings ; " the Sun tells a thumping lie " upon authority f and yet some of the worthies claim a victor ;!! If so , we can only say they-don ' t deserve it , they have made such a very bad use of the triumph . But what Bays the Manchester Chronicle ? Why , this : —

      " The Leaguers Defeated . —Never , within our observation , was there a more signal or humiliating defeat sustained by any party than by the Anti-Corn law League yesterday , from the Chartists . " Now , will this do for our friends ? The Guardian cannot speak truth ; be calls a Mr . James Cjlrtled 6 e the reporter for the Star , while he knew he was telling a lie . Was it Thomas Thornhill Claeksos , Esq ., who gave evidence against O'Brien at Liverpool , " or was it Jeremiah , or John Edward himself , that volunteered upon this service !

      We last week , in our several editions , reported , and truly reported , three of the greatest triumphs ever gained by a people over a faction . The complete overthrow of "Waiter and Co . at the Crown and Anchor , upon the " pat them on the belly " question ; the signal defeat of the export and import" Ogres " of Derby , with the Mayor in the chair ; and the unmerciful whacking of the whole League in the very camp . Here the fustians , under the nose 3 of the rank-smelling tyrants , after having thinned them in skirmishes and section fighting , actually took the whole camp by storm ! And when ! Why , ju 3 t when a triumph would have been a good announcement of Viluers' intended motion , and , to insure which , they , a 3 a ma ; ter of course , put forward their whole force .

      We have alwajs told our friends not to leave the enemy a single shadow of a shade of doubt to hang a doubt upon ; and , as we perceive that the " gentlemen" of Leeds intend taking advantage of the presence of Mr . Baikes , M . P ., to hold their cheap labour meeting , on Tuesday next , we rust that the thing will be put "beyond all doubt , or cavil . Our friends now see the manner in which their good nature has been returned ; let them bear in mind that Leeds fought the first battle of the Spring campaign , and , on Tuesday , will finish it with tho annihilation of the faction .

      Wherever Dr . M'Douall , Leech , and Bajrstow , happen to be , it becomes the oounden duty of the inhabitants of that locality , to send them to the national camp at Leeds , on Monday night , in order that they may go over the chart , and each perfectly understand the part allotted to him by the council of war , now arranging for the capture of Fort Humbug . PirKETHLT , of Huddersfield ; Akraw , of Bradford ; and other friends , must be there too . Let no man remain behind , and we will teach them how to count heads this time . Hurrah for Tuesday , then ! Leeds began , and Leeds will finish . Let M'Dbdall , Leech , and Baibstow be sent , without fail , and in time . T- '

      pear to take . Mr . M'Leod ' s life iB r . ot to bo sported with , at least by us ; and we fe « r venturing upon a line , which , by giving an injudicious tone to public opinion , might , by the remotest ohance , have that tendency . If he was within reach of us , we would have given our opinion boldly and freely ; bat any apparent interference , before trial , with the laws of one nation , by the people of another , may taose a substitution of defiance for justice ; sod , let it never be forgotten that if injustice be sanctioned against any one , under any circumstances , * preoedent will be very easily framed out of the role . ; .. -

      Such , then , are our personal reasons for not venturing any remark , while our opinion generally is , that the Free Republic of America will find herself considerably fettered by her three millions of black slaves , and England would find herself no less encumbered by her three millions of white ones , in tbe event of a war . We trust , we hope , and we feel confident that there will be no war , and , for that very reason , because tbe slaves of each nation are trammels around each nation ' s neck ; and we earnestly and devoutly pray that upon the first shot being fired , some lucky accident or kind friend ; will

      put a firelock in the hand of every Southern State slave , and say , " There , then , there ! behold , yon slaves , the land enriohed with your hearts' blood , your sweat and your toil ! Take , take , take this musket , as your title henceforth to hold it for yourr selves , and to till it and use it for your own benefit , and may God bless you and it . Be not tyrants over those whom you command , or we will any them , and depose you . " If such is to be one of the results of an American war , God send it

      to-night before to-morrow ; while we beg . to assure our virtuous readers , that we have no de&ire to learn that a company of English soldiers discovered , after the battle , that many had probably shot their own brothers , fathers , sons , or friends . Again , and again , let us impress our readers with the grand truth , that we look for the People's Charter to establihh that balance of power which shall decide controversy by right , and not by might . What nation ever yet gained by war !

      PEEL AND STANLEY . We may at least claim credit , as having been the first to discover a desire , upon the part of the Right Honourable Baronet , to see the Earl of Derby on his road to bliss , in order that his hopeful son may be on his road to the Upper House . Many circumstances have since transpired to prove the truth of our prophecy ; but the press , in discussing the question , omits one of the most important points" iennre . "

      Now , Stanlbt would be much more powerful than Peel , if Stanley could confer as good a tenure upon hU serfs ; but then , unfortunately , he has but a life interest himself , and that a bad one—a very bad one , * and the young birds know full well , that should they now give up the certainty for the uncertainty , by abandoning Sir Robert , to go to Lord Starlet , that upon the melancholy event of the death of Earl Derby , the cross would stand before the name of each

      deserter in the Black Book ; this is Peel ' s strength , and this Peel knows . We said some weeks ago , that Peel was preparing to throw himself into the arms of Whiggery ; we now assert that he has become much more liberal than any Whig Government since 1 G 88 , with a Bingle interregnum of Fox and Bedford sham-liberality towards the close of the eighteenth century , when they had the fear of the American war and French Revolution before their eyes .

      Wo have long said , and we now repeat it , that Peel , Wellington , Ltndhurst , Brougham , and even Stanley , will make any sacrifice to get rid of Daniel , and they will succeed ; and then Dan will look in vain for the ladder by which he got on the house-top , and like all fools he'll tumble and crack his neck , for the people will never again be humbugged by any man living ; they want their Charter , and that none can long withhold with safety .

      THE CONVENTION : VALUE OF REFLECTION . Most fully agreeing in the universal expression of approval of O'Co !< r ; oR ' s plan of a Convention , we have had time to see some , or rather one , of the defects in its details . Nothing is more to be dreaded , or more to be avoided , than the slightest provocation for jealous feelings ; and , above all , nothing could be more injurious than a collision between the Executive and the people of any locality . la order , therefore , to prevent the possibility of 6 uch an occurrence , we would recommend the substitution of the ballot for

      O'Connor ' s plan , in the event of more than ten being elected as delegates . That is , we would recommend the Executive to call a public meeting , and at that publio meeting , and in presence of all assembled , to write the names of every candidate chosen , upon slips of paper ; and then , after a proper shake , commence a ballot , by having the names drawn , by a person blindfold , from the ballotting-box , and when proclaimed , let the name be thrown from the hustings among the audience ; and when the eight , with Moir and Williams , are chosen , let those be put to the meeting as the porsons duly elected .

      This plan will prevent after disputes and jealousies j for we do confess that the people at Edinburgh , Newcastle , or Norwich , or any place , would have just cause of complaint , should their delegates be postponed upon no better grounds than the vote of a meeting , to whom they were entire strangers . This would bring sections into collision with the Executive , which should , above all things , be avoided . Our plan leaves no room for jealousy , suspicion , or after clap .

      We throw out the suggestion for the consideration of our readers . We have great pleasure in informing our readers that more than one half of the sum required has been subscribed during the past fortnight ; and , we have no doubt , relying , as we do , on the spirit and zeal of the people , that the remaining half will be forthcoming before next Saturday .

      O'CONNOR'S LETTERS . " We are compelled to postpone O'Connor ' s letter upon Churoh Chartism , Teetetal Chartism , Knowledge Chartism , and Household Chartism ; and also his letter to the Marquis of Nokmanbt . We had but the alternative of withholding them , or his seoond letter to O'Mallet ; and , in the selection , we consulted our own feelings , which , we are convinced , will be responded to by our readers , that nothing should be allowed to interfere with the chain of electricity , which is sure to be produced upon the Bind of every man by the letters to Q'Maiakt .

      t The whole series will form a compendium of Irish history , each increasing in romantic beauty and historic research—the whole presenting Ireland at one view , in a manner never attempted by any writer of any age , in a whole life . Well may O'Connob say— " no ma « eh ^ ll plead ignorance of Ireland when 1 have done , wiih her . " The second letter , wbioh will be found in our seventh page ,, will be read , but never will be answered . When completed ,. tha whole' series will be published in a cheap form , and may be taken as a second volume of O'Connor ' s letters to O'Connell ,
