      TO THE WORKING CLASSES . My Fbiends , —You will have learned much from the debate in the House of Commons upon th 9 motion of Lord Howiok , which still

      " DragB its alow length along . " The cloven foot of Whig Malthusianism is discernable through the mantle of philanthropy with which Howick and his supporters would shroud their real object . Having carefully perused the several speeches , I do not find a line worthy of comment after Mr . Ferraud ' s splendid speech , save and except the following Lf ague-annihilating passage ia the speech of Sir James Graham . And now mark the passage well , and read it over and over again , and then ask yourselves who has dinned the very same into your ears for seven long years , and assigned it as a reason for opposing free-trade . He says , " Among the CHIEF CAUSES OF THE PRESENT fcVIL WAS UNSOUND

      Ca-DTI , AUD TO CREATE FRESH MACHINERY WITH B 0 BROW 2 D CAPITAL . THIS BiD SET MANY MILLS IN MOTION , WHICH HAD AFTERWARDS BEEN STOPPED OR RtDCCED to work shokt TIME . " Kow , then , have I not used the same argument over and over again in proof of the fact , that if the Corn Law 3 were repealed to-morrow , every spare farthing in this country wonld be devoted to the erection of new mills and the improvement of machinery , to meet the anticipated extension of trade , and a revolution most follow ? In fact , no limitation can be set by the most speculative mind to the extent to which free-trade would increase gambling in machinery

      and every motive in which direction must tend to the further depression of manual labour . Again , see what the Hon . Mr . Stuart Wortley says . He says " the cause of distress in Sheffield , is mainly owing to the falling off in the American trade , npon which that trade chiefly depends . " Merciful Providence ! when will the time arrive when Englishmen will be taught , in the tru 8 sense of the word , how to live upon their own resources ! Their iron and Bteel independent of America ; their wool independent of Prussia ; their flax independent of France ; their land independent of all ; and themselves independent of the world for food and fnel and raiment .

      Mr . C . Wood asks tor abundance and cheap ; as when food is cheapest the people are best fed ! What nonsense . When was food cheaper than now , and when where yoa worse fed ? As to abundance of food making it easy of attainment , there is now more money taan the holders know what to do with ; and you cannot get it . There are more houses than the owners know how to dispose of ; and yon cannot get them . There is more wearing apparel than they can store ; and you can ' t get any . Tnere is more food than all could eat , and you are without it . But they say the surplus is inconvenient and unprofitable for

      want of a foreign market ; well , but you were not even paid Jot creating the surplus s &nd if , to-morrow , England had an order to supply the world with goods , in twelve months the surplus would be thirty times as great and the disfcresB would be proportionately increased . Cheap and dear are relative terms and the big loaf for sixpence is dearer to a man who has not got a penny to buy it , than the small loaf at a shilling is to him who can earn the shilling . First catch your money , and then buy your loaf . Bat so long as machinery can earn the loaf , be it large or be it small , yon cannot get it .

      Now I have a word to Bay to the " Calf ' s Head Observer" of last Saturday . Under the head M Gleanings of the veeeh ? that journal professes to give a snmmaory of interesting events . In two cases my name is mentioned , as follows : — " Mi . O'Connoi , a fortnight ago , lectured in Leeds on Chartism , the Com Law , and the Land / and condnded -with two resolutions , viz , that Corn-Law repeal -would be & positive injury \ o the shopkeepers and it trtiiitg elates , anti ttai tLe mfctUtx -would

      Untitled Article

      pledge themselves to support the Evening Star . Two or three Chartists spoke in favour of Corn-law repeal , and contended that the Chartists ougbt sot to become a pro-Corn-Law party ; but Feargus and hia dupes were too many for tbem . " M Two Bradford operatives having taken op the glove thrown down by Feargus O'Connor to the League , the reply which they received was , that the Chartist Corn-Liw champion -would discuss the question with the League , and the League only . So much for O'Connor ' s respect for the working classes . '

      . Now , Mr . O'Connor did not lecture upon any such Bubjeots , or propose any snob , resolutions , at Leeds . Mr . O'Connor , so far from declining to meet the working men of Bradford upon the subject of the Corn Laws , did meet them , though not appointed by the League ; did discuss the question with them ; did divide upon the resolution and amendment ; and did . beat them : and further , Mr . O'Connor said that he would at all times and in all seasons be most happy to meet the working men in discussion upon the question ; but if bis challenge to discuss it in the several towns proposed was accepted , that then his opponent should HAVE THE SANCTION OF THE LEAGUE . NOW , What must this chuckle-headed " calf ' s head" think of

      of himself , or rather what will his few readers think of him 1 I have this morning received £ 3 from Rochdale , and £ 1 12 s . from Thompson and Co ., tea dealers , Halifax , for the Defence Fund . I trust that on Saturday night those gentlemen will sell that much more tea than usual . In conclusion , I rejoice at the debate on Lord Howick ' s motion , as Parliament can no longer pretend ignorance of the condition of the working classes . Next week we shall have a full report upon Mr . Duncombe ' s motion on the conduct of Lord Abinger , —that will be of more importance to us .

      ENGLAND IS NOW AT PEACE WITH ALL THE WORLD , EXCEPT HER OWN

      PEOPLE . THE FOREIGN MARKETS OF STRIFE ARE CLOSED , AND SHE KEEPS HER HAND IN AT HOME . I am , Your Faithful friend , Fearqus O'Connor . Thursday evening .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS .-Thursday , Feb . 16 . The House met at the usual hour , and some petitions were presented . Dr . Bowking said he wished to put a question to the Hon . Member for Knaresborough . He had received a communication from the county of G ' aroorgan , in which it was stated that the Hon . Member for Knaresborough wrote to certain individuals there to get up petitions against the truck system , and urging that the . se petitions should state , that a certain Member of the House of Commons shared in the exorbitant profits of a shop which the Hon . Gentleman thought : was conducted on the truck system . The question he wished to ask was , whether the Hon . Gentleman made such a communication to the

      neighbourhood , and whether the communication contained a > iy such suggestions as he alluded to . He put the question , because he had some reason to suppose that he was the Member alluded to . Mr . Febrand begged leave to state , in reply to the question which had been put to him , that he had a few days ago , received a letter from the neighbourhood of the iron works , which stated , that the truck system was conducted there in ihe same cruel manner that it was this time last year , and of which they complained to the House . The writer Btated , also , that they received no redress , and asked him ( Mr . Ferrand ) whether there would be any benefit in petitioning the House . The writer stated , in addition , that Dr . Bowring was a person who participated in

      the profits of the truck system . He ( Mr . Ferrand ) , in reply , told the writer of the letter that it would be advisable to petition the House on the subject , and that , if any Member of the House of Commons in particular wts guilty of illegal praotioes , he had a right to complain of it . Dr . Bowri . ig said , that as the subject was one involvii n character , he might state tbat the Hon . Gentleman was wholly misinformed as to the character of the workB in question . The payments were made by cheques on the bank , and the shop in question was one which conferred considerable benefit on the neighbourhood . He ( Dr . Bowring ) gave directions himself that the law should not be violated in the spirit or the letter .

      Mr . T . Duncombe gave notice that on an early day in March he would call the attention of the House to the mode of administering justice to those who were concerned in the recent outbreaks in the manufacturing districts . Some questions were asked of , and answertd by , different members of the Government , and some motiohB were disposed of , after which The adjonrned debate on the distress of the country was resumed by Mr . Peter Boethwick , who was left speaking .

      DEATH OF RICHARD CARLiLE . CaRLIle has passed from eff tho stage of existence . His life has been a busy and a momentous one : and it is right that a tribute of respect should be dropped upon his grave ; for he has been useful to the world as an herald of progress . Carlil ' e was a stern and unflinching opponent of oppression . He was one of the most determined resisters of authority that England ' s latter days have seen . To him wo mainly owe the comparative libery of the press that we enjoy . He broke down the trammels impased on it by government in 1817- He proved himself to be , at that period

      a bold and stout-hearted man . THE THING was then in its full power . Its nails had not then been paired . " Late panio , " and " severe commercial oepression" had not lowered its tone . It dealt with the " grumblers" with a hitfh hand . It placed new restrictions upon the press . It downed many of the people ' s advocates . Cob-BtTT left England for America . It seemed as if all quailed before the storm . Carlile placed himself in the breach . He braved the utmost fury of the oppression . He showed that he was possessed of powers of endurance that tyranny could not break down . He triumphed I He established the freedom of tho Press !

      This was not done without suffering . He had « i . v share . He was confined for bix years in Dorchester Gaol . As one instance of his unbeuding disposition and enduring powers when he conceived himself to be in the right , we may mention that he was for three pears and never went out of his room ! The Visiting Justices refused to allow him free access to tho open air ; arranging that he should be led out of his don for two hours a day when his keepers deemed it convenient , they attending him as watchers all the time . Carlile refused to bend to this shameful indignity . He demanded free access , like all the rest of hi 3 fellow-prisoners . He declared that ' till his demaud was conceded he would not pass the threshold of his cell . He kept his word ! He was for three peiirs within the four walls of his room , and never passed out . Then Mr demand was ftoncaded !

      During the time he was in Dorchester Gaol his wife and sister were also confined within its walls , aud Newgate was nearly filled with martyrs to the cause of "free discussion , " who , fired by Car- * LiLt ' s zeal and bravery , had rushed forward , one after another , to ktep his shop in his absence . We hononr the name of Carlile for the good he has done . We , of course , do not think that he was free from imperfections . We believe him to have wrought much mischief , aud to have been a serious

      pest to society iu the industrious propagation of his psendo theological and philosophical dogmas . Persevering courage and untiring industry were the characteristics of his nature . These he , of course , evinced with equal constancy for the evil which he thovght good , as for the most laudable of his public aims . But we are not of those who would perpetuate only the dark side of a man ' s character ; and hence in speaking of Carlile we prefer to speak of his virtues . Of his good we speak : drawn be the curtain over his failings !

      A correspondent has favoured us witb a notice of the leading events of his life . It is drawn up from memory , he says , but he vouches for its correctness . It is written by Mr . Henry Sculthorp , of Westminster . We give it with pleasure ; because just now it is interesting , as serving to show the nature of the battles Carlile had to fight with the oppressors of the people : — "Richard Carlile , the well-known demooratioal and deistical bookseller and publisher , formerly of Fleet Street , London , and whose name has been , more or less , before the public for about twenty-six years ,

      expired on Fridav last , at his new residence in Bouverie Street , Whitefriara , in the 53 rd year of his age . His entering upon political life was in a small shop near Fetter Lane . Previous to this , he had followed tha bumble calling of a tin-plate worker . This is not stated with a view to degrade Mr . Carlile ; for in whatever respect we may differ with him , there is one point upon which even many bigots are agreed ; viz ., that he was a man of unflinching integrity , and possessed of extraordinary powers both of mind and nerve . He was not , however , ambiuoui to claim all the merit of political dariflX

      to himself . Like Cobbott , he acknowledged Paine as his political prototype : from him he professed to have ' received the first ray of light in his benighted intellects ; ' and from the ' Rights of A / an ' ' the promethean touch that first warmed him into public life . ' He commenced his career as a publisher by re-printing Southey ' s earJy poem— 'Wat Tyler , ' at a period when its author—conscious that Radicalism was not the road to government promotion—was making strenuous efforts to suppress it : and , mailgre the endeavours of the laureate to effect his purpose , 25 , 000 copies of the work found their way into the hands of the people in 18 ! 7 Shortly after issuing forth Paine ' s political works , the same year , he reprinted the well-known '

      Parodies on the Book of Common Prayer , which co&t him eighteen weeks in the King ' s Bench Prison , from which he was , however , liberated , without trial , on the acquittal of Mr . Hone , their author . But it was reserved for the year 1818 to establish his celebrity , by his re-publication of Paine ' s' Age ol Reason , ' * which ha $ i been suppressed through a period of twenty years . This brought him in collision with the then Attorney-General ( Sheppard ) who waited upon the- publisher , in the way he expected , at the close of that year . In the October of 1819 , therefore , after no lesa than six successive indictments had been served upon him , he was at length brought to trial at Guildhall , City , before Lord Chief justice Abbott and a Speoial Jury , upon a charge

      of * blasphemy , in having je-publiahed the 'Age of Reason' of Thomas Paine , and the ' Principles of Nature' of Eiisha Palmer , both of which works he read in court , in hia defence , besides having reference to a quantity of others ; which occasioned the trial to last nearly a week , during which the defendant was accompanied by several friend 9 , amoug whom were Messrs . Hunt , Sherwin , and Fry , the husband of the fair philanthropist . Air . Carlile hereupon rec < ived sentence to three years' imprisonment in Dorchester gaol , and to pay a fine of £ 1 500 ; in default of tho payment ot" which , he wa .- * retained in the above gaol until the November of 1825 , when he was at length liberated , after having computed the gixt . h yearot his captivity . In 1830-1 he was again brought to trial at the Old Bailey , for an alleged political libel , published in a weekly periooical called the

      Prompter , ' whereupon he received sentence to be imprisoned tor the term of 2 y > ars in thr City Compter ; but he eventually served hard upon 3 years in that gaol . In 1834-5 lie passed 3 months more within the walls of the same building , for having made a most obstinate resistance to the demand made upon him for Church-rates by the parish of St . Dunstan in the West ; thus completing a term of nine years and a half imprisonment ! For the last fivo or six years , he had resided at Eufield in Middlesex , where , it would seem , he took no part in public affairs ; but where , in 1841 , he was overtaken by the paralytic stroke , from which he never afterwards recovered . This abated bis powers of public speaking and reading to his last hours . The direct illness which accompanied his death , was , however , of bat a day ' s duration .

      He stated , a few days ago , that , at the outset of his public career , ho had correctly calculated on having to pass through five or six years of imprisonment , to appease the angered authorities for having defied their will ; but he hati not , ne said , calcalat > d that , afier having conquered such atiihorities , by self-sacrifice , the greater difficulty would remain , of having to conquer the ignorance and vice of the people , by still more painful sacrifices . This , he urged , had been his dilemma ,, which had destroyed his health , and driven him from publio business to comparative obscurity and painful poverty . It is evident that Mr . Carlile did not think his dissolution was so near , by his having announced to several gentlemen who spoke to him as he lay in bed , only last Sunday evening , his intention to deliver a lecture on the succeeding Sunday evening ; namely , the 12 ih instant .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STlR . Sik , —It gives me great pleasure to be able tn inform you that your candid observati ons ¦© & » h « Socialists , a few weeks ago , as also your admiraw ! article "On the March of Machinery , " & , TJ week ' s Star , have been hailed with great satisfaction by many who had hitherto expressed much doubt or fear of the purposes for which the peoDle are seeking political power , or of the use to which the » would put it when obtained . Extensive and icflu ential misconceptions have existed on this head ! which , for the sake of our cause , and to promote ia success of our rights , we should hasten to remove

      It is imagined by some that the Chartists seek power merely for party or personal purposes and that , consequently , the Charter will be made an instrument , like the Reform Bill , of class-iegjslatjon and factious Government . Now an attentive consi deration of the principles of the Charter will ghew that the people at large will always have the power and the remedy in their own p ossession wh 6 x t 0 cure or to correct theie evils ; but , nevertheless ft is fitting that we should likewise shew that that the people already know what use to make of

      their rights and would exercise power ptoperly-it would perhaps be well were we distinctly to state the objects we have in view , and thus encourage the hopes of the oppressed , and allay the fears of the lovers of quiet . Perhaps nothing would better supply this desideratum than a Monthly Magazine price 6 d ., which might act as an auxiliary or corallary to your weekly organ , the Northern Star ; for while the latter was more particularly engaged in directing and auimating the movement for the means the former might instruct the non-Chartist public as to the ends .

      The fir 3 t great object as I take it , is to get hold of the land ; and we have this object in coomon wiih the Socialists and Fourierists , theCommunalists , or the Associative Unionists , only they are pursuing the ends before they have got the means which makes the great difference between na . Perhaps , too , there are some minor details on which " we are not agreed ; but I believe we agree on those great general principles of truth and equity , which are applicable to all men in all times ; and as they are seeking with us the freedom and amelioration of mankind — especially of the sons of labour—We cannoi withhold from them the praise due to all well-meaning and benevolent mind 9 . Let us coma to a good understanding with them , and I doubt not we shall obtain their cordial support , as I beliere we at present have their sympathy and good wishes .

      I remain , dear Sir , Yours respectfully , Johk WiTkws Battersea .

      Independent Order of United Brothers , Leicester Unity . —On Tuesday last , a Lodge m connection with this Order was opened at Jennings ' Temperance Coffee House , Birmingham , on "which occasion forty-five persons were initiated . A Clergyman Shot by his Step-son , —Glouces ter . Monday . —This morning a young man , about 18 years ot ate , of genteel appearance , was brought to the county jail in this city , charged with having intentionally shot the Rev . Hugh Percy Rennett , perpetual curate of Norton , a parish situated four miles from this city , on the road to Tewkesbury . Th 3 cireumstances under which the outrage was committed are reported to be as follows : —Mr Rennett , who isrelated to the Northumberland family , married a Mrs . CJarke , the mother to the young man committed this day to

      our county jail . The marriage was a very unhappy one , scarcely a day pas .-ing without some brawl or other occurring . As was natural , the young man took part with his mother , and it is alleged that the combined power of the mother and son was too powerful for the single-handed vicar . On Friday night , there was a quarrel , and on Saturday night another , in the course of which the vicar threatened to strike his wife . This , it is said , roused the passions of tho son to an ungovernable -Sight , and , seizing a loaded pistol , he fired at his step-father . The ball entered the neck , and the serious nature of the wound becoming instantly apparent , Burpcal aid was sent for , aud the most persevering efforts made to oxtract the ball , but without effect . The reverend gentleman remains in a very precanoua state .

" For the especial edification of this iirportant and respectable class of men , a new publication ia about to be issued , to bje called the Pakk-Row Gazette , in which will weekly appear the epistles

Amongst other things to be tautjht , will be the " art of noting developed , " frpm the time of the celebrated Nelson , of Hars-Hills Notoriety , down to the last transaction of the one-eyed worsted-planter from Hunslet . It will also regularly contain the secret orders of the committee op | watchers , done into plain Engli&h for the use of the ** amalgamated" Peelers , { and occasional reports of the sayings and doings , of Dr .

      HUDDERSFIELD . —General distress in this town and neighbourhood is more evident just now than was ever seen at any previous period . Bankruptcy is taking place weekly amongst the-more influential , whilst the poor cottager is being stripped of his furniture , eveu to the shirt he wears . On Monday and Tuesday last several auctioneers were employed in selling what had been fetched from the labourers by the bailiffs ; whilst numbers of fine young men were watching them , having nothing else to do . How long this state of things will cont uae , it is impossible to tell .

      On Friday evening last , as Mr . Robert Aram , green grocer , ( of Huddersfiold , was returning home from Wakened market , he took a ticket for the third class by the railway , but got into a second class carriage ; . On the road , the guard found him out , and demanded the difference of the fare ( one shilling ) which he refused to pay , stating he had been put in by one of the porters at Wakefield . On arriving at Cooper Bridge , he was given into the charge of the « lerk there , who told him he had subjected himself to the penalty of 40 s ., but if he would pay the shilling , the difference of the fare , he would

      set him at liberty . This he refused to do . On the arrival of the ! next up train , he was sent in custody to Manchester , and taken before Mr . Hall , the superintendent , who , after hearing the statement , offered to set him at liberty and give him his passage baok to Cooper Bridge , if he would pay the shilling . He still remained obstinate . He was then ordered to be taken back by a luggage train to Brighouse , and there locked up until the next morning , and then taken before the Huddersfield magistrates , who convicted him in the mitigated penalty of 10 s . and i 6-s . 6 d . costs .

      Fatal Accident . —The quiet liule village of Rogate , near Petersfield , was on Monday last thrown into a state of the utmost consternation by the occurrence of the following distressi ng accident : Colonel Charlies Wyndliam , M . P ., having left for town a few days previous , to attend his parliamentary duties , ( had given his keepers permission to invite a party of their friends to a day ' s rabbit shooting . Accordingly , on the above-named day , a

      party of fourteen or fifteen proceeded to Carl s Cop . ie for that purpose . In the course of the day , as one of the party ( a c ommercial traveller , who happened to be [ staying in tho neighbourhood ) was in ihe act of getting over a hedge , his gun being loaded and cocked , it accidentally went off , and lodged the whole contents in the body of a young maa named Collins , a brother of the under-keepor .
