      them , to mike these statements , that the public s ight know bow to Tiloe them . That , however , js their business : we don't interfere with it . We fej Bonsus consider poverty to be a crime , nor the rttehiagof aid in my honourable undertaking to be disreputable : aor indeed does it seem that the Committee do so ; their ease being that the undert aking to which they refer was not reputable nor

      honest ; but a compromise of principle , and a virtual tale of such talent as the market ould eoBinand . Without interfering further with the personal retort of the Committee , than to say that at least it is sot surprising , and has certainly not been replied to ; we repeat that of the address , as a whole , we most cordially approve , and are happy to oommend it to the attention of our readers .

      But whilst saying this we must also be permitted one word npon the petty attempt in the fixing of this address upon the Northern Star , because " printed at No . 5 , Market-street ; " to establish a general prineiple which would identify nfl mtiwvery publication that might issue from the press of Mr . Hobsoh in the prosecution of his busi . ness as a general printer . A more dishonest and disingenuous assumption could not have been nade . "No . 5 , Market-street , ' is a ° t u * ke Northern Star office" specially and entirely . It is Mr . Hobsoh's general printing-office ,

      and he of coarse prints for hire any safe and reputable job that may be brought to him , just as we haTe no doubt Mr . Frederick Hobsok , of the Leeds Times , wonld have been very glad to print the address in question : however galling its contents might hare been to his editorial partner , the profit would donbtless have reconciled him to the job . Surely , then , Mr . Hobsos , the publisher of the Northern Star , being himself an active member of the Leeds Short Time Committee ,

      may print at his office an address from them without its being necessarily *• a Northern Star address . " We jiote this petty meanness , not because it is worth it , but because it is necessary that the people should keep in mind the fact that the Northern Star is not to be identified with , or responsible for , everything that , in the way of general business , may be printed by Mr . Hobsoh . The least thought will show every one that this is right and reasonable .

      Leaving the Short Time Committees and their ti-deuud friend , advocate , and advertising medium , to settle tiieii accounts with each other , we reiterate our call upon the people to uphold the principles which these Short Time Deputies ably and eloquently enforced npon the attention of the Government ; the enhancement of wages , the protection of Lasoub , and the restriction of the aggressions of Capital upon its rights . We recognise in the operation of these principles the only medium of rational contentment and national enjoyment j the only means by which the people can obtain their right and fair share of the good things which they bring into existence . We know that these principles will never be in operation until the

      people are invested with the power of law-making , hdd and exercised under proper circumstances of security ; we recognise this power and these circumstances in the provisions of the Chaster » and , therefore , since the promulgation of that document , the Northern Star has never " agitated , " and while in our hands it never shall " agitate , " for any legislative measure , save the Charter ; the great meanB to all good ends , social and political . It has ever , and , while we oontroul it , shall ever , at all fitting opportunities and proper seasons , keep folly before the people the discussion of those great measures of relief to the obtaining of which the Charier 1 b invaluable as a means , and without which it would become utterly valueless as an end .

      DECISION OF THE MINISTRY UPON THE FACTORY QUESTION . lx the plenitude of their anxiety to bespatter the Short Time Deputies with all possible abuse , the Whig hacks and hireaingrf , —^ e organs of the bone and sinew grinders—have most lustOy vociferated that the whole thing was a Tory trick ; that the hoax had been get cp for the purpose of throwing dust into the eyes of the working people , and leading them off the scent of Corn Law Bepe&l ; when lo J in the very midst of all thi 3 jabber and " beslaverment" comes % letter addressed by Lord Aselet to the Short Time Committees of Cheshire , Lancashire , and

      Yorkshire , stating that Sir Robert Prel has definitely announced his intention to oppose the Bill for shortening the time of labour in the factories . We learn tbi 3 from ths Lot don papers of Tanrsdaj , after our preceding article was written * "We give the letter : — "London , Feb . 2 , 1842 . " Gentlemen , —It is with the deepest regret that I am obliged to announce to yon that Sir Robert Peel has iigaifi ^ d Ms opposition to the Ten Hours * Bill ; iud I conclude , therefore , as you will conclude , that his reply must ba taken as the reply of the -whole GoTernment on this important question .

      " Though p ^ infally disappointed , I am not disheartened , nor am I at a iosa either what course to take , or wha : advice to give . I shall persevere unto Bj las ; hour , and so must you .

      ADULTERATION OF SUGAR . ^ ? roQi the DubRn World of Saturday , we take the iwiowing paragraph , descriptive of one of the modes oj which the now-a-days " respectable" trader fr ? S ~ s to chemt a living out of the class he affects w despise and at the bare mention of whose name as turns up hig nose ^ fce wouid were & pole-cat « Qtk right smack under it : —

      The manufacture of spurious sugar , by a method -ash is most unwholesome , via , mixture with p » Utoe •^ "i , is carried on in Manchester and Liverpool to a «* m extent , and a quantity of tae article itissua-*« k ^ fc&s found ita -way into the shops of some of our *^ grocers . The way to detect the infamous cornea » za follows : —If a HtUe of the suspected sugar completely dissolved in hot trater , and a few drops ivdtae be . pouTed into it , tie mixture , if the sugar * S * -anme , trill be of a reddish colour ; but if adulfe ^ M ^ 8 Urch » i 4 ""i l immediately become a very « £ t 1 ?* . ¦ Dr Purple , approaching black , the depth of ^^ Jfeing in proportion to the a mount of the i& * ? rld is right as to the stuff used for this - *« tten&cn ; but the practice ia carried on to a

      Untitled Article

      much greater extent than he seems to know of . The stuff used is , as he says ,- potatoe starch , before it ib calcined , or made into " British gum , " for the use of calico printers . In the ordinary using of sugar the mixture is not apparent : the starch being very soluble , it mixes with the liquid , tea or coffee , as soon or Booner than the sugar itself . The starch used for this purpose is in a fine powdered state ; not ** lumpy , " as the washerwoman ' s starch is . We have been aware for Bome time of the prac tice here pointed out , and have been looking for a fit opportunity to expose it . The practice is not confined to Manchester , Liverpool , and Dublin . It

      prevails in Leeds to a iery great ertentl and we have reasoa for saying that it is generally practised by most of the " large" sugar dealers in all parts . We know of one " house" who not long ago offered to take from a manufacturer of potatoe starch ,, forty or fifty tons of the article in an uncalcined state , if he would put it in" at 2 | dper Ib . ; and , as an inducement , the "house" offered to take almost any quantity ; for the first forty or fifty tons would soon be disposed of . The Btarch manufacturer " could not take less then threepence per Ib . ; " w > "the affair was off . " The sagar dealer got the starch Eomewhere else , where the parties could meet him at his price .

      Now then , let the reader look here . The sugar dealer buys this stuff at 2 Jd . per Ib ., and he mixes it with Eugar that he Bells at 8 d . per Ib . He thus ells the starch at 8 d . per Ib . too ! Let us suppose that he gives 3 d . per Ib . for the rubbish ; and that he disposes of forty tons of the " powder-starch" in three years . He will , by these means alone , pocket the enormous sum of £ 15866 . 3 s . 4 d . 1 !! He will get this , as the difference between the price he buys the starch at . and

      the price se sells it for I and the public will have to pay him this astounding amount of money out of their poor and diminished means , for 89 , 600 pounds of an infamous and unwholesome article , mixed with that which is good when pure and alone . And the parties that practice these things are " respectable . " They are fit to -be enfranchised ! They are not " ignorant" " uneducated" producers of wealth ; but they are " men of character" ! M men of weight" !! " men of standing" III Out npon them 1 tke highwayman is more honest !!

      The World gives a plan by which the adulterated mixture may be detected . We are glad he has done bo , and have great pleasure in extending a knowledge of it . We hope every buyer of sugar to retail amongst the working classes , will take care to test the ariiclft offered to him by the " great" dealers , before he purchases . He might as well have sugar for his money as starch ! The former will be more serviceable to bis customers than the latter I The World will be surprised , perhap 3 , to learn that the major portion of the article used in this

      adulteration , is manuiactured in Ireland . There is no wonder that ll it has found its -way into some of the Dublin Bhops . " There is Borne little of it manufactured in England ; bat by far the greater part , both for adulterating sugar , and , when calcined , for use at the print-works , to prevent the colours from running into one another , is brought over from Ireland . Who it was that first commenced ihe practice the World now exposes , we know not ; but , whoever he was , he ought to be completely glued up /

      Dhrbv . -The friends of this neighbourhood having communications for the Star , or otherwise affecting the Chartist movement , are requested to send them to Mr . Thomas Briggs , care Of Mr . John Moss , shoemaker , Plumptre-square , . barley-lane , Derby . Mokey OBDEBS TO THIS Offjcb . —Our cashier is frequently made to endure an amount of inconvenience utterly inconceivable by those who have not multifarious transactions like his to attend to , by the negligence of parties to attend to the plain instructions so often given , to make all money orders sent here payable to Mr . John Ardill . Seme orders are made payable to Mr . O'Connor — some to Mr . Hobson — some to Mr . Hill—some to Star Office : all these require the signatures of the person in whose favour they are drawn before the money can be got . This causes an attendance at the post office of , some ¦ times , several hours , when a few minutes might suffice if all were rightly given—not to mention the matt vexatious delays of payment sometimes caused by it . Several old agents , who certainly ought to know better , have often thus needlessly inconvenienced us ; we , therefore , beg that all parties having money to send to tlie Star Office for papers , by order , will make their orders payable to Mr . Jons Ardill ; if they neglect this , we shall not hold ourselves bound to attend to them ; if , therefore , they find their neglect to produce inconvenience to themselves , let them not blame us .

      Thohas Hcrst . —The reason why we had not a , longer report of the late Slave meeting at the Leeds Music Halt arose from the fact that no information was given to us that ** the people " intended to be present , and take a part in it . It was by the merest accident that our Publisher ¦ heard of the meeting , and was therefore eiiabled to be present . Had the necessary information been afforded to us , the Reporter in the office xoould have had instructions given to him to attend . As it was , he had not , nor could he have any such instructions . He did learn accidentally of the meeting , and hurried to it as soon as his other engagements permitted ; but got there just in time to see the close , the absence of our Reporter was matter of great regret , andsleps were taken at the time to remedy

      xl . Before the meeting dispersed the Reporter present who had taken notes of the proceedings , was offered any sum he liked to charge for a full report , for the Star . He refused , to let us have it , giving what appeared lo him to be a sufficient reason for such refusal . Thus were we left without report , except a short descriptive one furnished by one of ihe speakers at the meeting . It often happens that that which is the most obvious of all duties , gets neglected , or forgotten . In this case , it was clearly the duly of the friends , when they had come to a determination to attend , to apprise us of such intention ; but u what is everybody ' s business is nobody's business ; " and thus things get neglected . We do not blame any one for this omission ; we only state the fact in explanation , and lo obviate any such omission in future .

      James Penny . —His letter is received . M . A . Smith , Nottingham . —The notice sent can only be inserted on payment of the advertisement duty . Mb . Campbell would feel greatly obliged to Mr . Lunce if he will forward the names of the sub-Srcretaries in the following places . viz .: —Ulverstone .

      Lovbk of Justice , anxious to see our Whig made widows and orphans above the reach of that grinding poverty which they have loo long been allowed to suffer under , writes : — " I think the following an easy mode whereby such a desirable object may be attained , without being materially felt by any portion of our numerous body : —Oar Association now extends to about 300 localities , many of which localities have several hundred members belonging to them , and others have but few . Now I would propose that each

      locality should contribute , weekly , a sum , varying according to its number of members , say all under twenty-five members to pay ld / per week ; above twenty-five and under fifty , 2 d . per week ; above fifty and under a hundred , 4 d , per week ; and so on in proportion , reckoning 2 il . for every fifty members . This would produce , I think , a sum mi from £ A to ' £ b per week , which wonld raise taose unfortunate sufferers above the uncertainty of public subscription , which at best is but a sorry source to be dependent on .

      John P . Rodoehs- —We are sorry he is angry ; but cannot lielp it . We made no alteration in our Bridgelon report . Mb . William Ibonmo . ngeb writes us in explanation of a portion of his speech at the late mason ' s meeting in Bath , which he says has been misconstrued by some of the members of the Operative Masons London Trade Society . Ht begs to say that the statement alluded lo was never intended te apply to any portion of their society . The words in question read thus : — "At last a society of blacks was formed , and Allen thought he should be supported by that body ; but he would find that the job would not be completed by other than Saciely men . ' "The society of blocks " Mr . I says , " was not formed till long after the above society had been kindly solicited to take our places , and had m ^ st manfully refused ; and

      I have many time * declartd , both in public and private , the noble and manly part their society has taken in the struggle . " Mb . Stott , Manchester . —Midday last Thursday we received a letter from this gentleman ( cut from the Dundee Chronicle , ) relative to the cliarges made by a number of the Manchester Chartists against Mr . R . J . Richardson . The late hour at which it was then received prevented its appearance in that week ' s Siar . . This week the letter f with a few observations upon it ) is in type ; but the press of matter consequent on the London meetings and the opening of Parliament , compel us to defer is insertion t o o ^ next . This cannot inconvenience either the writer or the subject of the letter , as it hud been published a fortnight before it was se ? il to us .

He write * us that invitations have gone to him in the same vague manner , at different times , from several pluces . This is to bejreyrettcd , as it may cause much unnecessary trouble and

      STOCKPORT . GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE CHARTISTS OVER THE CORN LAW REPEALERS ; On Tuesday evening , a large and crowded public meeting of the inhabitants of Stockport -was / held in the Court House , convened by the Mayor , in obedience to a request of several influential members of the Stockport anti-Corn Law Association , to address her Majesty , and petition both Houses of Parliament for a total abolition of the Corn and Provision Laws .

      The Mayor occupied the chair ; and , after opening the meeting with a few observations , and reading the placard , he called upon some speaker to propose the first reEolution . Henry Marslano . Esq ., MVP . for the Borough , rose for that purpose ; and , after scanning at ; , some of the leading Chartists , who occupied seats near him uDon the plarforrnj ho introduced a . motion to the effect—that , lamenting tho prevailing distress in the manufacturing Gistricts . it attributed that distress mainly to the unjust taxes on corn and provision . He dweh upon the injustice of all rnonopwlies , particularly upon food ; and called for tho union of all classes of society ' for the purpose " of remedy iug the distresses under which the labouring population laboured .

      Sir Ralph Pendleburt , Knight , one of the anti-Corn Law League , seconded the motion with great confidence . He was delighted- ' to see the spirit with which the question had been ; tak ' m up by tho pubiic , and the progress it h ^ d made upon all classes . The manner in which the anti-Corn Law Bazaar had bten supported on that and tho preceding day was very satisfactory ; indeed , he had to wait halt ' -an-hour before ho could pqseihly obtain admission to the Theatre where the br-aiar was held . It would strike the government of this country with dismay . They could not much longer withhold from the people , their undoubted . ' rights . ( Hear . ) The same government had denied the franchise to Manchester , Birmingham , and

      Lcods-r-but what was the consequence ? Why the passing of the Ruforai BUI . There would botuch a pressure in Parliament this session on tho questipuofrhe Corn Laws , that Sir Robert Peel could not deny the country an instalment towards repeal , and by th « next session they would be enabled to get more than they wanted . All were alive to the -Riots evils of the protective system , and the encouragement of laws which precluded us from tho advantages of reqiprpcity and free -trade with other countries who are desirous of taking our goods in Exchange for their productions . He had the other day commiseioaed a friend of his in Liverpool to procure him a cask of Sontk American pork and another of beef . It had arrived in Stockport ; the prico of the article . was threehalfpence per pound , but the prohibitory duties had raised the cost to threepence per pound . Now

      this was a great evil to preclude good wholesoaie food from coming into this country except at rates equal to to the oritnnal cost of the article . He could assure them that the meat was capital and as good as any meat men need require . He had now a piece of the bacon hanging up in his larder ready for use , and a particular friend of his who had tasttd the meat had pronounced it excellent ! But the operation of the provision laws , by excluding good meat from other countries , kept the price of beef , &c . in thiB country at a rate utterly beyond the reach of the labouring classes . He wanted free trade in beef and other provisions , and everything else , and hoped that the working men had suffered so much by the present distress , which had arisen from the Corn Laws ; that tbey were now prepared to join heart and hand with the middle class to abolish the Corn and Provision Laws , v ¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦'¦¦

      Mr . TH 0 MA 8 Clarkb , a ChartiBt , was as anxious as any man tor a union and a reconciliation between tfee labouring and the middle classes for the obtainment from the Legislature of justice to all . They had been too long divided : but it was equally evident that nothing could be beneficial to the nation unless it had the cordial co-operation of the toiling millions . ( Hear ) To prove his real desire for union , he would suggest that the proposition which he intended to introduce , should be tacked to ihe motion , and not be brought forward as a distinct and separate matter as an amendment , tho latter being in fact the cause and the origin ; the motion being the effect . In the absence of Universal Suffrage , bad JawB had been made , of which the Corn Law was one . Had the people had a voiqe in making these laws , the evils complained of by the HQUOur *

      * We Member for Stockport , woaH not now have existed . Therefore , the abseace of political power to the people was the the cause of the distress ; and the Corn Laws , which be disapproved of as much as any man , were the effect . ( Hear . y All that he desired was that in the proposition which is to be the voice of this meeting to Parliament , the cause should precede the effect—u that was acceded , tfw union of both classes was at once effocted . He proposed w that while we deprecate the Corn Laws as being uniust and oppressive , we consider them to be the

      effects of the same cause which brought into existence the New Poor Law , the Coercion Bill , the Rural Police , and a variety of other bad laws ; and , further that we are of opinion that there will be no change that will permanently benefit the peoplo until they get political power through the adoption of the People's Charter as the law of the land . " ( Cheers . ) Thi * he wished to go before the resolution of Mr . Marslands . He concluded by calling upon his friend * Mr . Doyle , the future representative of this district in the National Convention , to second the motion .

      Mr . Doyle , on rising , was received with much applause . His speech , which occupied nearly an hour in delivftryi was an exposition of some of the leading fallacies of the day , and was in effect an able and well-digested address upon political economy , taking in his course the principal grievances which militated against the comforts of the people , and the property of the nation , until he arrived at the climacteric and the panacea for all our political evils and imperfections—namely , the principles of the People ' s Charter , and the indisputable right of every man , who is expected to obey the laws , to have an uninfluenced voice in the making of them .

      Mr . Coppock endeavoured to reply to the different points adduced by Mr . Doyle , but he lost his way . He termed the cry for other remedies than that of the Corn Laws " herring trails , " to divert the people from the real scent . He repudiated the idea of cultivating waste lands , on account of the great expenoe ; money would have to be raised at seven per cent ., while the speculation would not yield in return two and a half . He declared himself disappointed in , the Reform Bill , and amongst those who betrayed the people , he said the late Henry Hunt

      was conspicuous for : having retained the rights of freemen . He said he waa favourable to an extension of the suffrage , and would go with them if they would only help the Cara Law repealers . ( Cries of '' We've been done onco . '' J He said he had great confidence in the working people of Stockport , and hoped they would not be led astray by their illjudged and indiscreet leaders . ( "Oh !") He admitted that the repeal of the Corn Laws would not raise wages , but it would reduce the price of bread ; and trusted in the co-operation of the people in the obtainment of thia : great political right .

      Mr . A . CikMP » ELL endeavoured to conoilJate the two propositions , and told the Chartists if they did not unite they might lose all . Mr . CljlRke said he wa » willing to meet the meeting half way . If they would support his proposition , he would support theire . The want of Universal Suffrage was the grand cause of all . The principies of himself and party were " Universal Suffrage , and no surrender . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . Dotle expressed himself in similar terms . The Chaibhaw having conferred with the leaders of the repeal party , saw there was no probability of a reconciliation , and therefore he should put the ¦

      motions , ... : ¦ After some delay , on the skow of hands , the Mayor said he felt himself placed in a very uncomfortable situation . He was most anxious to acknowledge the truth . He , however , decided that the motion of tho anti-Cbrn Law party was lost , and ihereapon declared the meeting dis ? olved . The Chartista gave threei cheers for their victory ; three for the Cnairman ; and three for the Charter . After which the meeting separated . HI'RRAH FOR THE CHARTER !

      WSXTEHAVEN . —Brutal anp OirrRAGEotTs Attack on the Socialists in Whitehaven . —It is with feelings of a vtry painful kind , that we have to record , a series of enormities , practised towards the SodialistSj which for savage brutality and coldbl 6 odednfcS 3 , we have seldom or ever known to be equalled—more especially in this boasted age of civilisation . We have no desire in . this instance , to pause for a moment , to enquire into the doctrines propounded by the Sorialists ; if they are good , they will stand the test of reason , if otherwise , they will be soon repudiated and rejected , by all rational and good men . Surely thhia amply Buffieieut to secure the well-being of sodiety , without reference to the savagearid disgraeefal process of driving their

      advocates from their lecture -rooms and their houses , by a ruthless gang of ruffians , who , in this'iustance , muat have been the tools of others , mor > 3 cunning and designing than themselves ; for we cannot believe that those ruffians could have any opinion on the inatti r . We "Will now give a simple but - ¦ correct recital of what really took place . On January ther 8 t . li , Mr . Buchanan , from Glasgow , purposed giving a lecture in the Socialists' Hall , Wbitehaven . Mr . Buchanan arrived on the Suniday evening , when a few frienda met him at the room , when the lira : attempt at a riot commenced , headed by & ¦ ¦ ¦ fe' 1 . 16 w named Lopney , a potter . This gave the fiiyt alarm ; oh Mondayr-hi ^ ht , the Socialists mustered , and had scarcely cot lighted up , when the uproar began . A

      desperate attempt was made to force an entrance into the room . This was resisted for some time with ¦ accefs , some of the socialists getting ugly blows in tho fao ? , from fists , sticks and etones , thelast of which thrown was so large , that it was thought no longer prudent to reei ? t ; accordingly the entrance was forced . It was then a complete Bedlam ; all went rapidly to destruction ; the lights were put out » blinds torn down , forms smashed , and everything broken up ; thas could bo broken . The women were unusually violentj a fanatical neit of whom , the Socialists had unluckily got amongst . Some of the Socialists got out and went for the police , but they w /) uld not come , though one of them . vaa standing within the hearing of the yells , and he had been

      solicited to attend the night before , but refused . The men who went put were knocked down , kicked , and shamefully bruised , and others of the parly , female . 3 as well , ail cam a in lor a share ot ill usage ; some of them to a degree that they will never reoovtr from the effects Mr . Buchanan luckily escaped , not being known . Amethodist olasss leader was the first to attempt to strike thei feet froni under one ot -the Socialists , the one who was worst used , a Mr . Tbompson ; this methodist was aotu&lly reproved by one of' hjs class , ana he fell back . Mr . Thompson wouki have been sacrificed but for his wife clinging around him . The police officer came up at last and said , " you have now siven him enough , give over now for my saka , "

      but not a man not boy was apprehended . Mr . ThonipsoH was with difficulty got home by his wife , and tho officer never appeared , to betri « 5 n < l him , but merely helped him homo . A man who was rormerly ciisciiarged from the police for manslaughter , named Nicholson , and who lias been before employed in leading riots , was seen outside urging the crowd on , telling them the police would not interfere . Next , morning Air . Buchanan left , and it was ' . thought , . -all was ovtr , but at night the mob mustered and proceeded from one socialist ' s house to another . Mr . Thompson ' s they attempted to set fire to , and a Mr . MooTv ' a they broke in the door , aud threw in bo ? 1 © straw and two pounds of Vunpowder , which however was 'fortunately- got out again ; all the ; windows but

      wore broken in each house ; otlmrs they yisitid did no more dama # o that night , Tho socialists dun d not to stir out ; the cry was " no law for the socialist—the socialists are outlaws IV , 'i'his ^ Bigln they asbombled opposite the house of a -Mr ; -Wiis-on , yplliti ^ and co mmoncing breaking the windows . Tiie police did at last stop them . Next day two of the socialists waited upon Hey wood , the superintendent of polue , for redress . He said they should hava none , and rhe people might do whac tbey liked to them . To Mr . Thompson he said '' are you Thonip-Eon , iut . meseeyourface ; you are a damned rascal . " A more diabolical outrage we have ealsiom hc-ard . o . f ., and yet this has been committed under the itnmedia'eeyes of the police-force—^ where ia the . boasted liberty of Englishmen , whep ^ thoir homes are to be iiiv ' aded , their property destroyed , arid their lives put in jeopardy by a gang of hired ruffians ] Are the socialists to be thus driven from their homes ^ arid

      put : without the pale of the law ,: and rendered the prey df a parcel of cold-blooded ruffians , and - all thiH aliovved to be carried oh under the immediate suryeiUence of the magistrates and the poiice-force 1 Why have not these conservators of the public peace , and protectors ( aai they ought to .-be ) . of , the liberty of the subjeofc , not ihstitutftd an inquiiy into these horrible enormities ? We hope the Secretary of'State will be written to on the sucjeot , with a view to cause a searching investigation into the whole affair . If this is not done , then there , is no law to protect tlio liberty of the subject . —Correspondent . [ We give the above as we have received it frum a correspondei t whom we well know .
