To those conversant with the history of Surgery and Medicine , it is . well known that , up to the present time , theBe maladies have defied all and every combined effort of the medical literati ; and that from a gpneral ignorance of healing agents , such is still the inadequate state of -what has been called " regular practice , " that no means known offer the unfortunate sufferer any rational hopes of relief .

      ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF THE STUGITES AT LEICESTER .

      TO THE EDITOB OF THE SOKTHEBX STAB . gcs , Ihrrins my recent brief imprisonment at Stafford . I rtflvcted ranch !* s I have already intimated in your columns ) upon the grievous fact , that liberty has ocea stifled . , in its growth in this country , chiefy through Hie suicidal guards of its adcocctfes . My reflections were deepened by conversations with poor Ellis , with Linney , vith . Arthur CKeiL , -with Mr . Roberta , of B&th { one of jny attorniei ); « nd alao by the tenor of a secret ccrrespondenoe which I contrived to bold with a fellotrjniaoner , of intelligence eqctl to any I have mentioned , but whose name » I must not , at present , develops . Bemoved from the exciting influence of contest ourselves , we could not help regarding our victimised condition aa beisg the effect , in a great degree , of the

      mad broils which hare so long distracted and torn oar ranis . " How omnipotent might the advocates of liberty be , " we said again and again , " if they did not gifa their enemies the advantage by fighting against each other , instead of combining their forces against the tyranrie foe ! " For my own . part , I here openly and candidly avow , that from the moment of my liberation np to yesterday evening , I have been unremittingly pursuing the object which these reflections and conversations had rendered to my view , of paramount importance , namely , union icith all trio vxrt 'honestly seeking the enfranchisement of the people My "first words , on re-entering ^ Leicester , while the procession baited in the Market-place , were " Forgiveness for my enemies ; blessings lot them that cum . me ; prayers for them that despitefully use me and persecute me!—and that spirit—God is my witness ! I have sought all along to " preserve in myself , and to enforce

      ft ) ethers . I commenced a aeries of personal visits to sscb of the complete Suffrage party u 1 conceived to be uprightly asd sincerely seeking the people ' s dehverence - . among others , I met Mr . William Baines , " the ehnrch-rate-martyr , " as he is usually called , and am ready to testify to the fact that Mr . Baines evinced a spirit every way worthy of the name he has acquired , by his noble suffering for troth's sake . I found a few Spirits kindred to Mr . B ' s .: but they -were only few . Mncti to my surprise , and still more deeply to my sowow , I found that the Beverend J . P . Mnrsell—( successor to the immortal patriot and philanthropist , Robert Hall , and bosom-friend of tbe Reverend Mr . Hiall , editor of the Nonconformist ) —was not oiriy backward in exhorting his brethren of the Complete Suffrage party to g * ve np the spirit of hostility to the Chartists , jmt was actually most energetic in stimulating them to continued opposition .

      The approaching Birmingham Conference seeming to offer a happy occasion for uniting the really honest of either party , I openly avowed a willingness to cooperate with the Complete Suffragists , and prevailed with my Shakspeariana to depute their secretary to wait npaa tbe secretary ot the Stargite Vzdon , ia order , ] f possible , to COme to Bfail andfiiandly understanding , and to engage that the representation to the Conference should be equally shared by the Chartists and Complete Suffragists . In the midst of all these offers , and in the face of all my declarations that I desired , above all things , union with all hsnest and true reformers , — an advertisement appeared in a Leicester paper , stating that " A meeting of electors of the Borough * would be held is the New Hn . ll , st a certain time , for appointing tux > delegates to the Birmingham Conference . My Sbaksperians immediately took fire . " Is this their raion r' they asked , " Are they about to bold a

      holeand-corner meeting , and to cheoee two of their own , without allowing us a voice in it ? Is this their comp > eU scrape V Arain and again I paced to and fro among the StuTgite pirty , expostulating and remongtzatisg . but all in vain , until 1 forewarned them tiai their meeting would be illegal , and that their Regales would be liable to transportation if elected at a meeting from which the non-electors were shut out Beginning to feel alarmed , they postponed the intended secret meeting for one -week , and the Rev . J . P . ilureell ( according to infarmation given me by one of his own friends ) set off to Birmingham , with the express intention of persuading Joseph Starge to declare , thai the Conference should not be held ! " I will not ait in a Conference where Cooper is ! said this meek and lowly disciple of him who prayed for his murderers while hanging upon the cross : " I will have bo share in a deputation with such a fellow , and I know he will be elected !"

      Tet I persevered in straggling to drive oat the foul spirit of prejudice , by offering union , resolved to test the party fully , now I had begun , and net to desist from my attempt nntil the animus of these pretended fnepflB of liberty was so completely laid bare , that all men , of -whatever political creed , might bt able to jodre ef it At the commencement of the present week , however , I learned ( again from one of the 8 nirgite party ) that I auld have no hope of seeing union or any thing in the dope of it ; and that , althon « h these people had at first siven np the idea of holding their secret meeting ,

      under the belief that it was illegal , —yet they were sow determined to bold it . Well , last nigbt was the Uxbb appointed for holding this ' ! postponed" flecret meeting ; and , in tbe morning , what should I receive but a formal letter from a druggist of tbe Complete Suffrage party , who had , all along , shown himself most fixedly disposed to view the proposition of union in the same friendly light as Mr . William Baines , —giving me polite notice that I must cease to enter Ms &kop . ' . ' . ' I knew , now , to ft certainty , what to expect . I was , now sure that union would never be accepted by these false and bellow pretenders to

      Eber&kty . Tet I persevered ! I went to this " postponed " meeting of electors , in company with Messrs . Crow , Dewick , Wella , Facer , HaHicfc , G * ddard , and others , ill electors , and members of my " Shakspesrias brigade . " We were admitted by thB private entrance to the New "ff iJlj while a large crowd of non-electors at both doors were refused admittance by tbe police—another beautifnl complete suffrage notion . I walked npon the platform , sat down , and was silent . At length Mr . Manning , * h \ iTTnv < of the Stargite Committee , accompanied by seme of his own party , walked into the hall , and told all assembled that the meeting must be adjourned « bee the non-electors -who were refused admission ,

      Bade inch a noise ! I then calmlj and qaietiy addressed Manning and his party , conjuring them to accept my rifer of onion , and entreating them , if they ' urnly desired fee people ' s deliverance from their miseries , to be ¦ sited with thtm . ItM ***** of union , I was met with Roffo and sneers ; yet I did not desist . " We are * 3 l 3 Eg , " i « id , " to go with you in tins matter , if you B ? willing : my party will agree to vote for two of yoor cm members , if you vote for two of ours . Let the people but be shown that yon are really their friends—P ' -iee them bat on an equality with yourselves , in this ajjj er , and all will be weD . " *• We want nose of your lfriee , " was the reply , " We will have nothing to de * ithyou !"—and one conning patriot added , " We will Bate wia the people , but not with ytu !

      At length , ' the noise increased at tbe doors , and ^ "ffling aad his psrty finding they could not get ont tf the ball to " adjourn , " without admitting the people , —wine one was let out of the back door , to go and bang a stronger body of police . Some of the sturgites who remained within , however , trfistened the inside double doors at tbe public Stance ; and the non-electors then rushed is , in bunfcfids , and took possession of the Hall with cheers and topping of hands . Mr . Wells and Mr . Facer then pro-P » d that Mr . Crow do take the chair , and the public * utixg was opened in the most quiet and orderly SglBne *

      Wfcen Mr . Grow had opened the meeting , I addressed & people at some length ; calling npon them to wit"w the spirit witfi which I had conducted myself fr *« dg all partks , sirce my liberation , and asking fcon whether either they or I conld henceforth hesitiie one moment in oni belief aa to -whether tbe Stogkes really wished to be united with the people . I tteonnUd tbe -rarioua steps I had taken to secure lQ , and appealed to every candid man present whett * r the insincerity of the Complete Suffragists was Hot now fnily apparent . Knally , I moved that the meeting do disperse , and Sat a puo / ie meeting of the inhabitants of Leicester be «! d in the amphitheatre , next Wednesday night , for the purpose of choosing Jour delegates to represent Se electors and non-electota in tb » Birmingham Conference . *' The motion was carried without a single dissent Msrkham and others afterwards addressed the

      At ten o'deck we sung " The lion of freedom is come «*» bis den , " gave three cheers for the Charter , * TBe for Feargns , three for Frost , Williams , and Jonta , and three for pool V « Hn—and then separated .

      P . S . —I think I ought to add that throughout the whole of my attempt to test the sincerity of the Com-¦ p lete Suffragists , I discovered that there was one vxty by which I might , at once , have secured their confidence . What was that ? It was—forsaking 0 Connor I I was taunted , again and again , with my servility , and tbe general servility of Cbartista , to Feargu * , That 1 always disowned : for every man lies who dares to call Cooper servile : but my in-rariable answer was " Ko ; I cannot lose my devoted attachment to O'Connor , as long as I have the same confidence in the nobleness of his heart that I have now . I have conversed with greater intelligence than O'Cennor , but I have never known a heart more generous , mow devoted to great principles , more earnestly and enthusiastically and disinterestedly consecrated to the pursuit and establishment of them . 1 may be mistaken , but I have watched the movements of O'Connor ' s heart in private , and I think I know what I am talking about . "

      When told that I dare not act independently of Feanras , I replied , " I have not written to O'Connor since I left Stafford jail , nor received a line from him ; and I will not write to him till this matter is brought to an issue . " And I have kept my word . Upon the whole—wounded as I feel by the circumsv&nce , that the sincere and earnest yearnings of my heart should have met with these murderous rebuffs from men whom I at first thought it a duty to woo into union with the people , beanse they were their real friends ; yet I am now solidly satisfied with tbe result , inasmuch as it will prove beyond a doubt , to hundreds in Leicester who baited half-way , tu&t my old and severe ' policy of opposing the hollow sturgites root aad branch , was founded on the strictest propriety .

      CONCLUSION OF A 2 f ESSAY ON THE PRESENT SYSTEM .

      The great error of the people is to leave all to Government—to expect that Government will remedy all evils True it is that Government was instituted for this purpose , and that the people are taxed enormously for its support Our Government , too , in particular , tells us that it is the best in the world . Tbe Queen , we are told , can do no wrong—she is as infallible as the Pope —the peers aro all wise as Soloos , and the Commons are the best-bred gentlemen in Europe ! How could the people expect anything but injustice and oppression from Buch a legislature—how could they expect those wise peers , those gentle Commons , would spread misery and desolation through the land . So far from proposing a remedy , our Government will not listen to the remedies propoaed by others ; it discountenances all

      reform , persecutes reformers , and -will not so much as gufftx tbe evils to be inquired into , because it knows they would be traced to itself . The groans of the people are answered by laughter , their petitions are treated with scorn , their remonstrances are rejected with anger . Government says it can do no goodwhat then is the good of it ?—is evil its good ? When restitution is demanded , a ay is raised that they want to destroy property . This comes w % U from thoBe who are the descendants of the Norman banditti that parcelled out the land with their swords—from those whose ancestors were reformadoes , and pilfered the pour . Turn from the State to the Church —afck tbe bishops and they say , " more churches most be bnilt ! " a remedy that would aggravate tbe

      disease . What , then , must the people do ? . Must they emigrate ? No ! remain at borne &s compelled Cromwell did ; but not for vengeance but for justice . It is clear that the people have not brought tbe nation to this pass , though they suffer most : and it is clear that none bnt the people can get the nation out of it Let them unite for this sacred purpose . God haa giren the numbers to their side ; the oppressors are few—the oppressed tbe many . Let the voice of Liberty call us together as a hen calleth her chickens when the hawk ia abroad—as a trumpet'c&lls the hosts to the fight : but beware ! Listen not to violence ; it is a moral , effect that is wanted , and a moral cause can alcne bring itabont ; it is a lasting benefit ; injure not tbe cause by any temporary outbreak . Keep patient as you have hitherto done under every provocation . Listen not to rage , but to reason ; not to rapine , but to right

      Let all your passions , all your purposes have one safe vent , and that the Charter . It is your own ! why do you suffer things that have to buy mnstachios to make them look like men , t « keep it from you ? Have it : remember tho ¦ wrongs— the sufferings of your wives and little ' ones . How long will you see tnem suffo » hunger , and cold , and contempt ? Save them , save yourselves , save England . It is the country of tha great Alfred , of Nature ' s own Shakespeare , of startaught Newton , of the wise Lord Bacon , of Milton , the poet of lost Paradise , and of our lost Republic , of Dryden and Pope , of colossal John , of Garrick and Kean , cf Byron , " so sweet was ne ' er so fatal . '' Shall it perish by the poison of a Russell or Normanby , a Paimerston , Melbourne , Pe « l , or WeUinRton—things only fit to figure in caricatures ? Forbid it Englishmen ! ye will if ye are mea .

      TO THE MEMBERS OF THE REPEAL ASSOCI ATION OF IRELAND .

      Irishmen , —I have long wished for an opportunity of addressing you on the all-important subject of a Repeal of the Legislative Union betwixt Great Britain and Ireland . IIy object iu doing bo at the present , is for the purpose of dm-wing your attention to your present mode of agitation to inquire into its merits , expose its futility , and above all to endeavour to induce yon to exercise your own reasoning faculties on a question which affects you so deeply . Feeling an earnest conviction of the necessity for more strenuous exertions on yonr part , and conscious that it is tha duty aa well as the interest of every man to lend whatever assistance may be in his power for tbe attainment of justice , I presume to trespass on your attention , and shall continue to do so aa long as my humble opinions may be considered worthy of insertion in he columns of the poor man ' s paper—the Northern Star .

      There is scarcely a day passes but we hear of meetisgB numescui-Ay attended , speeches having been made which called forth the enthusiasm of the assembled thousands , and resolutions passed to continue tbe great contest (?) until Ireland obtain that justice to which she is pre-tsiintntty entitled . In the midst of all this display of patriotism , and giving due credit to the Repeater * for their exertion * , it is * UH lamentable to remark that long as the agitation has txifittd , and enthsiastic as you undoubtedly are , there is Btill no visible or even apparent progression towards the desired oHect

      To those who affect to be the fritnds of Ireland , and who value measures by their Bounds , and only join in an agitation from a desire to become popular , and other and not less unworthy motives , such an assertion may be . considered monstrous folly , and subject the writer to severe animadversion ; nay , I have little doubt , very many of the moelt , honest « f the Irish people will be apt to conscientiously differ with me . But a little reflection will soon convince the fastidious , that the assertion , howtvex unpleasant , ia not only true , but admits of undeniable proof .

      In order to investigation in tbe most simple manner , it will be only necessary to look a little below tbe surface , te strip it of its extraneous coveriag and expose its actual position , and yonr positive prospects of success . But here I fancy I hear some wily orator exclaiming , ** that fellow knows nothing about it—be is mad—don't listen to his dangerous doctrine—be is a ChartiBt , " and wants to make yea se bad as himself I And then , with a most astonishing volubility , interlarded with " blarney , " and a small touch of the " brogue , " enumerate all the advantages which have not , and ^ which are to bo derived from the present agitation for an ulterior measure ; not forgetting to recount the achievements of the mighty leaders'who have done ao much for Ireland , and who still and will erer Sght the people ' s battles , until the

      Union is tutored to Ireland , and the Parliament assembled in College Green I Yes , I can almost fancy I tee the burst of feeling which such an oration is always certain to produce , and hear the honest , but misled multitudes sending forth hearty responses to his appeal to stick by Q'Connell sad tbe Union . This may be all vary good , and would be most undoubtedly bo , were the paztie * concerned consistent to each other . It is not my intention to indulge in any feeling or comment on any acts of the leaden of the Irish people , save those wbich affeet the cause which they profess to advocate . I have only to do with the political acts of such parties , and leave yon te judge for yourselves ; and could I but inspire yo 4 with the resolution to do so , I am confident X would render an essential service to tbe cause of freedom , and place the Union within

      your gr asp . In order sfcill - furtfcer to simplify th « inevesUgation , you will in the first place consider , that man was born free , and nature ' s God proclaimed him Lord of the Creation .

      with the image ot his Maker , he claimed obedience from every living thing ; and although , when subsequently men multiplied on the earth , tfeey from a voluntary choice submitted to be governed by their fellows ; they did not at the same time forfeit their right to think , nor even to act for themselves . It was by an act of their will , that they appointed rulers , and by the same authority they were justified in deposing them . It jts , however , the province of man to become in * dolent , and . thereby allow others to think for him , ot afford opportunities for inroads on his prerogative ; and so it was , more active spirits exercisei their will over their fellows , which infringement in due time , became converted into habit—from habit into law—and from law iuto despotism . Thus it was with man in a general sense , and thus it Is with the Irish in a

      particular sense . They , it is true , have long bad to contend against , or bend to the wil of a host of merciless tyrants , who from the days of the first adventurers from the English coast have trampled on the rights , and triumphed in tbe ruins , of their country . Man was not , however , created with fixed principles of indolence in his nature ; and thus we find that , on many occasions , when he perceived bit piivllege wrested from him , and awoke to a sense of his prostrate condition , he assumed the right to think , and subsequently to will his liberty , and having done so , be acted on the impulse , and became free . In those cases it generally happened that one , or at most a low , persons were the first to think ; those communicated their thoughts to others ; and thus a spirit of inquiry was excited , from which proceeded great and mighty revolutions in society .

      According to the principles of human nature , man is bound to defend himself from tbe attacks of enemies ; and thus , If a slate be oppressed by a ruler , aad that only one man discover a remedy for the abuse , be is bound to communicate to his suffering brethren , stating his thoughts on the subject , and submitting bis opinions to tbeh judgment In this way an entire nation may be made to reflect on their position , aad ultimately to shake off their chains . But in all such cases , as the general interest is at stake , and as it is essential to pursue the safest as well aa the speediest method of obtaining an enfranchisement from slavery and oppression , it behoves the sufferers to carefnlly select and adopt snch means as will facilitate the desired object

      It not unfrequently happens that men who have long suffered oppression , when they begin to see through the mist which surrounds them , graap at any feasible plan for their emancipation without having duly considered the possibility of success by such a course as in the excitement of tbe moment they adopt And thus it is , and has been , in a great measure , the reason why so many failures have taken place in political struggles . In order , therefore , to guard againBt unfavourable results , it is not only wiae , bnt tbe duty of the oppressed , if they Sad their cause in a state of collapse , or evincing no signs of progression , to change their plan of action—to substitute more efficient remediesand , when adopted ,. to carry them vigorously into execution . An agitation commenced under such circumstances , and based upon strict principles of moral right , guided by reason , and a firm determination to persevere , would be the most certain means Ot obtain * ing What was legally nought for .

      A nation or a people acting in nnison have only to be free " to will it . " This you already know , and knowing it , permit me to ask yon why it is that Irishmen have not acted as the oppression under which their couutry laboured demanded ? Surely you , above all others , ought to be anxious to shake off the burden -which baa so long bung like a millstone around your necks ! You have wisdom sufficient to uudfent&nd the natural equality of man , and how is it that still you are slaves , and allow yourselves to be trodden upon by men who can

      claim no other superiority over you save a little wealth , and even that is not justly theirB ? You have sensibility sufficient to feel for the hungry children of your bosoms , and perception sufficient to see the pampated despots revelling in the luxuries which your labour has produced , and of which you are denied the smallest share . Yon daily see the houseless wanderers who eke ont a starring existence , exposed alike t « summer ' s heat and winter ' s cold , whilst the deapoilers are happy and at ease , enjoying the patrimony , and living in affluence upon what should be theirs .

      Oh , yts ! you see , and yon feel all this , and I am aware you would wish to redress those evils ; the very fact of your joining in an agitation for such a purpose argues favourably for you on that point ; but it may not be improper to ask you whether the remedy you would apply is adequate to the object to be obtained ? Remember tbe best plans are often faulty and capable of improvement , and that in all great and important questions , when much good is to be obtained or much evil to be eradicated , and particularly when the interests of a nation are at stake , much discernment and energy are rtqnisite .

      You , as a nation , seek for the romoval of an evil , or in other words , you seek for a Repeal of the Leginlative Union ; thin ia -what yon ostensibly setk for , although , after all , the mere repeal of that law would not have the magical influence you so fondly hope for ; but as I am now only about to examine the mode in which you seek repeal , I fehall defer my remarks on Its tfficicy for the present How then , may I ask , do you act concerning the removal of this great and acknowledged evil ? Is it not a notorious fact that with all the noise and apparent interest bestowed upon it , you are still in nearly the same position as regards political Btrengtb as you were eleven years ago ? And if there is anything wanting to substantiate this fact , the words of Mr . OConnell , when he spoke of obtaining Repeal in

      twenty yean hence , completely proves it This is a melancholy fact , and to remedy it is the duty of every man who is a lover of justice and liberty , and above all who laya claim to the name of an Irishman , You will doubtlesss ask , bow are we to act . and by what means are we to work oat our object ? Tbe answer is simple , and sucb that tbe most illiterate may understand ; even O'CoNNELL HIMSELF has long since pointed ont the means , by his agency in forming the document of tbe " People ' s Cbarter . " He baa alto told you " the greater the moral power , the greater tbe outward pressure . " H <» words are striking ; he says , ' Where there is a Freat moral power , there also then is a physical power , f _ r where a man ' s heart is , there also would bis hand be if need required it . " Here then we have your own leader ' s opinion on tbe value ot numbers , not t » speak of bis very plain hint about " physical force ; " and his recommendation to extend your principles and recruit your ranks . Bat let me ask , what party ever was great

      and triumphant , that was not guided by the influence and good example of their leaders ? It is a requisite condition , that all men who set themselves up as guides or teachers of any doctrine , should also practice what they preach , and thus give proef of sincerity , and induce those whom they would instruct to follow in their footsteps . Now in politics aa well as other Bubjects this condition is indispensable , and to a country situated as Ireland is , example , as well as precept , is even more essentially requisite . Irishmen have been so long and so eften tho dupes of their own credulity , that they are naturally timid in taking up a question which might poasibly lead t « an aggravation of their sufferings . The p * rty professing to lead you in the surest , fofoflt , and speediest way to the desired object should be the first to venture , and the last to desist He should be consistent , firm , and determined to sacrifice even hiBlifein the " people ' s cause ; " be should , to sum up in one word , be a "patriot "

      I will , with the kind permission of the editor , continue my remarks on this subject next week ; until then I implore of you to Tffl-ct on your unenviable condition—to lay by your prejudice , and listen to the voice of reason , liberty , and truth . Vekitas .

      THE ELECTION OF DELEGATES TO THE BIRMINGHAM CONFERENCE . TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE BBaDFORD DISTRICT . My Beloved Fbiends , —It is not twelve months since yon and I covenanted together that we would not bd re-baptized . At a public meeting ef Chartists in the Social Institution , I reminded you at what price we had first secured our name—I appealed to you whether yon would change that nanie , and you answered " NO ! " I shall have to see before I believe that you art thonged . "Whatever arrangements may have been made calculated to compromise your principles , I cant think that you are a party to such compromise .

      The question te be settled at Birmingham ia " we question—the vital question . It iB just that of the Charter , or no charter—the Charter , or another Bill to be laid before Parliament . " If then you are willing to give up your Charter fur another " Bill , " send men to Birmingham to vote accordingly ; but if you mean to stick to the Cbarter , send four " out and outers , " not two and two , or perhaps three Sturgites and one Chartist . Sond no trimmers—none who carry a Chartist card in the left hand , and a Stargite card in the right . It will not do to say that tbe proposed Sturgite candidates are " pledged" to our principleaone proved man is worth a hundred pledged men . It tells a poor tale for a man when the people are under any necessity of pledging him at all . I thought the people of England had had enough of broken pledgespledges so often repeated on the hustings , but as . certainly broken in Parliament .

      Vow dont do the thing wrongly and have it to repent afterwards ; be on tbe safe side , and you'll have no need of repentance . If the majority of the Conference decide on another " Bill" ( think of the Reform Bill , which was tbe pet-measure of this same party ) tbe Charter will , with your tacit consent , be virtually laid aside . As the minority is bound by the majority , if yon be is the minority you will become a helpless party to the surrender of that Cbarter by which you have so often sworn to Btand . Remember if another " Bill " be draws op , there will then be two Bills before tbe country , than which nothing could be likely to be more fatal to that oneness of system and organization ao necessary to your ultimate success .

      " What ' s in a same f Nothing , but just this : every party loves iu own name , and distrusts every body ' s professed friendship who despises it Tell me not of the honesty of the Sturgites , if they were honest tbey would come and join us [ heartily and cordially . " He that is ashamed of me is not worthy of me . " Tbe fact that tbey are ashamed of our name proves that tbey are not converts to out principles . What would the Wesieyans , think of a man who professed to be converted to their faith , but was to object to become oce

      DEATH OF A MOTHER > NP HER INFANT FROM WANT OF COMMON NECESSARIES . On Friday afternoon an inquest was held at tbe Paul ' s Head pnbiic-honse , Wbite ' 8-row , Spitaiflelda , before Mr . Baker , the Coroner , and a respectable Jury , on the bodies of Catherine Leary , aged 27 years , and her female infant ¦ ; ; .. '• ; ; : \ ' ^ ' , '¦ . - ¦ : 7 ' . - . ¦ . ¦ . Mrs-Ridley , a midwifei belonging to the Maternity Society , stated that on Tuesday week she attended the deceased , who bad one of the Society ' s tickets , at her lodgings , in Gun-yard , in that neighbourhood , and delivered her of a female child , who WOJB then living . Witness subsequently visited the deceased twice , agreeably to the rules of the Society , and tbe last time she saw her was on Friday last , when both the child and the mother were living , but both in a very wretched Rtate . . ¦ : ¦ ¦ .. ' .. ' ¦¦¦ ¦ : ¦ ¦" ¦" :: ¦ . ' " ¦ ¦¦ ¦ '

      In reply to the questions of the Jurors , the witness said the apartment occupied by the deceased was tbe most wretched she had ever been in , and the deceased herself bad not those necessaries required upon aueh an occasion . She ( witness ) repeatedly requested the busband to apply for parochial relief , but for some reason or other he neglected to do so . Catherine Sullivan said she was ceusin to the deceased , and was in the habit of seeing her frequently , The deceased told her it was her intention to be confined at the workhouse , and that she should not make any application to be taken in there until tbe moment before her confinement Witness told her it was very wrong of her not to do otherwise , but she still would have her own way . On the morning of Tuesday week ,

      witness called upon the deceased , and found her very bad , and she had altogether a very bad time of it , but had been delivered of the infant about half-past two o ' clock in the afternoon of that day . The infant lived np to Monday morning last , when it expired ; and its mother died on Wednesday morning . The witness further stated that Leaty , thu husband of the deceased , had but very little work since his marriage , which took place about twelve months ago , and he and the deceased were in consequence in great wretchedness ; bnt . notwithstanding this , they bad not applied to the parish , nor had any application been made on their behalf until Monday last Witness had seen Leary , the husband , on that morning , and could not account for his absence from the inquest

      In reply to a Juror , the witness said the deceased bad not even had her bed made from the time of her confinement until the period of her death , and this ahe thought , hastened her dissolution . Mr . Byles , one ot the surgeons for tbe parish of Spltalflelds , said that ou Monday last , Leary , the husband of the deceased , and Mr . Mason , the registrar of deaths , came to his Tiouse , and tbe latter informed him the former wished him to register bis deceased in fast as having died from want , when the former added that such . was tbe case , and that his wife was then dying from the same cause . He ( Mr . Byles ) instantly went and tiaw the wife , whom be found in a very bad state , evidently in tbe last stage of consumption . He gave an order for necessaries from the workhouse , which were witbont delay supplied , but it was then too late , and she died on Wednesday morning from , be bad no doubt , an abscess on the lungs . ,

      Several of the Jury were of opinion that , bod the unfortunate woman been attended by a parish midwife , her life and that of her infant would have been spared , as she ( the midwife ) would insist upon her having proper necessaries In time from the workhouse . Afver some discussion on tbe point , the Jury ultimately returned a verdict of " Natural Death , accelerated by neglect , want , and destitution . "

Equadtate Earth ! sure all wise men must bless Pure Nature's painter , through Hia native dress . " This was the appropriate introduction to the lecture of Captain Ackerley on Sunday .: The worthy lecturer commenced by alluding to' the congratulations of the artists in oil and water colours , which he bad received for Lla previous lecture , reported in the Star ot last Monday—he was happy to serve all

      associations for tbe cultivation of the arts , and , moreover , particularly desirous to instruct parents that tbey might impart the knowledge to their children . The lecturer : proceeded by stating tbat , as colours were immortal , through man ' s agency , it was necessary to state whence they aroBe .

The earth consists of very minute aad almost impalpable particles , cohering very slightly together—these particles do not burn , nor are they malleable , are easily dividible , but not soluble in water . Properly there are but two sorts ; first , argillaceous earths harden in the fire , and do net dissolve in the mineral acids ; secondly , alkaline ( salty ) or calcareous

      earths , which in fire burn to lime , and dissolve in mineral acids . One of tbeie kinds was the " painter ' s earth , " from the mineral yellow to the mineral green of the Emerald Iale—onld Ireland ' s colour . The amalgamatian for the painter ' s use is by vegetable oilslinseed , nut or poppy—for producing body colours . He then reminded them of a case of * house painter who used fish oil to paint a stingy gentleman ' s house , which never dried in .

To this part of the subject we have not space to do justice . It was ably bandied .

      MARKET INTELLIGENCE .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday , Dec . 12 Last week we bad rather an extensive arrival of English Wheat from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , but that fresh up to-day , " especially as relate * to the supply front the former county , was scanty ; and , owing to the humidity of the atmosphere , somewhat ont of condition . Thia morning the stands were , on the whole , fairly filled . As the attendance of both London and country buyers was rather nnmwrous , the finest quality of Red and White was taken off rather freely , on terms quite equal

      to those noted on this day se'Dnigbt ; but the middling and inferior sorts , though not lower in value , commanded little attention . In fine Foreign Wheat rather more business was doing ; but we can notice no alteration in the rates . Bonded Grain wue a mere drug . We have a very large quantity of Barley in the market Malting parcels maintained their value , but other sorts had a down ward tendency . Malt was in fair supply , and sluggish inquiry at late rates . Oate Bold slowly at last week's [ currency . Beans , Peas , and Flour com * manded little alteration .

      London Smithfield Market , Monday , Dec . 12 . —This being the day appointed for the holding of the great Christmas Market , we had at a very early hour a large-attendance of butchers and graziers , from almost all parts of England , with an extensive number of the former residing in the metropolis ; hence , as might be conceived , the greatest animation and bustle was apparent . Contrary to general expectation , the supply of beasts derived from our grazing districts was inueh more superior than that brought forward for a series of yean past ; indeed , we might venture to observe that there were hot fifty forming it hi any way beneath the middle quality—hence it elicited the ' surprise and approbation of all present , and reflected great credit upon the skill and . enterprise of the agricultural coounanity .

      The competition between the Hereford , Devon , Barham , and short-horned breeders , was so extremely keen tbat we scarcely know how , in the spirit of strict fairness , to award the palm to either in partibnlar . However , for weight , size , and symmetry , Including of course actual value , we might , we consider , state that the Herefords ( except in the instance of the Scots , which we shall have occasion to particularise below ) was as a whole triumphant , embracing as they did some of tbe most wonderful animals WO ever saw exhibited for sale in this market . Decidedly the best of this truly excellent breed were brought forward by Mr . Rowland , of Creslow , who had on offer about fort ? estimated to wei ^ h nearly 200 atone , and for which £ 40 each was asked for the average of the

      drove . We next come to the Devons , which , though not quite so extensive in numerical strength as at the ; corresponding market-day last year , well maintained their long-established fame ; yet , generally speaking , their weight was not quite so great as on that occasion . There were about 400 splendid pure Dutharas , consigned to various salesmen , and which were fully as good as in many preceding seasons . As to the shorthorns , these were more than usually prime , and those offering by Mr . Robert Morgan , the property of Mr . Gwodall , of Deeping Fen , and Messrs . Thomas and Wiseman , of Holbeach , Lincolnshire , which gentlemen sent , also , some very prime Herefords , were certainly the best , and produced high figures ; while they were surrounded by crowds of people during the day . The Scots next

      command attention , and , notwithstanding we received few really good ones from Scotland , those exhibited by Mr . Vorloy , and owned by Messrs . J . and H . Kayner , of the Isle of Ely , Cambridgeshire ( . ten in number ) , were' scarcely ever equalled , much less excelled . These surprising creatures , -which were estimated to weigh nearly 120 stone , were considered to be worth quite £ 32 per bead , which will at once show that we have not overrated them . Messrs . Gurrier and Maidwell , as also several others , had excellent shows of beasts : in fact , to do justice to this admirable collection Of stock , brought together , as will be conceded , under disadvantageous circumstances , would be impossible . As to the numbers , these were considerably less than last season , yet folly adequate to eoic the wants < t the

      buyers . At the commencement of the market they purchased slowly , but as the day advanced , tbe biddings became more spirited , and we are happy in being enabled to intimate that an advance in the quotations of Beef of from 2 d to 4 d per 81 bs , was firmly established , and a good clearance was effected previ « uslyto the conclusion of the market . To prevent any mis * understanding at a time so important as this is , we beg to state that the highest general quotations fox Beef were from 4 a 4 d to 4 s 8 d per 81 bs ., theugh df course some cases could be named , in which from 4 a to 5 b per 81 bs were obtained ; but as these figures were not those dealing as an average , we deem it proper to omit them from our tabular statement . This we deem a matter of positive necessity to mention , as we find

      some statements giving higher rates , fer the general transactions , in the market than are warranted by the actual trade . The numbers of Sheep were rather more than those of last year , and quite an unusual improvement was observed in their quality and condition . Downs , though rather scarce , were very good , and we must say that that description of sheep , together with the Lincolns , the Lelcestera , the Kenta , and the Somersets , excited our admiration . And we cannot psss unnoticed about forty Downs and polled Sheep in Mr . John Weall ' s pens , sent to tbat gentleman by E F . Wbittingstall , Esq ., of Langley-Berry , Hert ? fordsbire . For weight , size , and shape , we should say the polled , descriptions certainly exceeded those ever shown in this market , and we have no hesitation

      whatever in Btating that had tbey been shown in the yard of the Smithfleld dab , tbey would have carried off the prizes by that , society . Some of these extraordinary sheep weighed upwards of thirty stones , and for which £ 5 6 s . each were demanded . The mutton trade was somewhat renovated , aud the currencies had an upward tendency , say of from 2 d . to 4 d . per lb ,, tbe DownB teaching , without much apparent difficulty , 4 s . 6 d . per eight pounds . Calves came fresh to hand , and were disposed of at last Friday's rise of 2 d . per lb . The Pork trade was tolerably steady at fully , but at nothing quotable beyond , late rates . From Lincolnshire , Leicester * shire , . Northamptoiiautre , and Warwickshire , we received 2 , 800 short-horns , runts , and Hereford ; from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , 320 Scots , homelands , runts , &e . ; from out western and midland districts , 700 Devons , Durbams , runts . Herefords , and

      Irish beaats ; from other parts of England , 260 Herefords , runts , &c . ; from Scotland by . steamers , 170 horned and polled Scots ; from Ireland , 80 beasts ; the remainder of the supply being made up by the stall-feeders , &c , in the neighbourhood of London . Not a single fresh head of stock was on offer from abroad ; there being only a very rough Hamburgh beast received , via Hull . Boeough Hop Market . —The moderate pricea at which Mid Kent bags nave been offered have produced a very steady inquiry for them since our last , at a run of from 2 b to 3 s per owt In moBt other kinds of Hops , a very moderate , amount of business is doing , at late rates , and we see very little prospect of any material change In prices for some time to come .

      CHARTISTS LOOK OUT—BREAKERS AHEAD . TO THK EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR SiR ,--Much has been said and written of late about Union , but the motives which have actuated each party concerned ia that union is now becsming painfully evident . I speak more particularly of London , although the same spurit of opposition has displayed itself in the provinces , though in some places in a more manly course than it has done hare . Let the men of London beware of men who like reptiles would creep and crawl until they have wormed themselves into the good opinions of their intended victims and disarmed them © 1 their Buaplcions , then turn and sting them . I hesitate not to say that an under current is working rapidly and not less surely , and will speedily be developed , is , in fact , even now developing itself . Ominous indeed does it appear to hear an individual hitherto proving himsdlf a stern supporter ef the Charter in word and dted , to hear such

      a person propose a resolution , at a delegate meeting , calling on the Chartist body not to attend Cork Law meetings , bat allow them , to palm off their deceptidua reasonings unopposed on the unthinking of all classes ! And why should this be done , forsooth , for the sake of union J Another rails against , the people ' s paper for its stern and unflinching advocacy of the people's interests , and to crown the whole another delivers a lecture the same evening , digresses from . an Interesting BBd beautiful subject to introduce -wiae saws on the benefit of a union with patties whose visible object is to betray us , and so far forgot himself , and the vital affinity our name bears to our principles , and our principles to onr name , as to state that " so long as our principles were acknowledged , what ' s in a name ? " what do these things suggest ? That freetrade policy will produce treachery in our cavnp , unless the working men look well to it . Let them look well to the conduct of their leaders .

      To such as the foregoing observations may apply , let me add a few words . Remember the sacred character of the cause you are engaged in ; as patriots look on your Buffering country vainly striving with class-made laws , rapidly approaching the vortex of . political strife , and borne down with unequal taxation and oppressive laws . Are you husbands ?—that your own wives may not be in the same condition , —look to the heart-rending poverty of the once happy homes" of English artisans , —are you fathers ? let your exertions be given to

      provide a just' system » f Government against the time yonr children shall be amenable to it—that blessinga may descend into your graven—that prosperity may again pervade t&ls now unhappy land , and your posterity may be happy us men . Hold fast to those glorious principles you bave avowed—let not the enemies of the working classes d ; tre to trample on the movement—let us shew them we are sincere and determined , and victory will be ours . An Obseever . Someratown , Dec . 13 th , 1842 .
