      jH 2 BECEKT RAILWAY HAIL ARRANGEMENTS . » fr not oftenwe haw tod to complain of th » mangemeats of tbe Poet Offioe ; nor have we had mach to say in the way of fault-finding respecting the tre&tment we hare received from the postmasters tbrongnout the country . With the amusements ve hare in general been content ; and mtb respect te the latter , whenever we hare had to appeal to the General Post-office authorities , we hare in--nriablj foand a readiness to inqaire , and a promp titude to redress in tb » highest degree satisfac

      tory . R i § , therefore , "with n « in or soured feeling towards the Po * t-dB » aothontjes , that we make the following animadv « 8 ion » upon their recent Railway Hail arrangements . We take this coarse , firstly , to show a great portion of our readers how we gtasd is relation to them through those airangexsents ; and , secondly , to call the attention of the proper parties to some excessively bad snd injurious arran ^ enieDtJ HOW criK ^ n ^ - with a -view to an effective alteration . Kaeb has been said and written in prsise of the advantages at Bailroad conreyanee compared with the old stage and mail coach travelliB § . Amongst those advantages superior speed , quickness of

      tanst , bare always been placed the first Whs '* ever may be &e advantages to passengers in this respect—land we a * once say they are great and many )—we most state the fact , that , as far as the conveyance of letters and newspapers ont of Leads is concerned , ( ht sew method is far tcorte than the old one , in many , very many cases . Mere time is consumed between the hour of posting and the hosr of delivery ; and in some cases the transit is much dower . We will specify . T « secure the delivery of letters or newspapers in Glasgow , and a great portion of Scotland on Saturday morning , it is necessary that tbeyshenld be posted in Leeds on Thursday evening before

      « x o ' clock !! : Thirty-seven hoars between Leeds and Glasgow ! and by Railway , too . 'I . ' Under the old mail-coach system , if they were posted by one o ' clock on Friday aftemooon , they were delivered just as soon as they now are , though required to be posted nineteen hoars sooner . Xo secure the delivery of lettew or newspapers in Newcastle , Sonderiand , asd towns adjacent , on Saturday morning , it is necessary that thty should be posted in Leeds on Thursday evening before six o ' clock ! Tobty-seren hears between Leeds and Newcastle 1 To secure a morning ' s delivery under

      the " old system , " we had only to post at one on Friday afternoon . To secure a morning's delivery in York and adjacent places , it is necessary to post in Leeds before six o'clock the previous evening ; thirteen hours before delivery , though we bave a Railway direct to York , » j * ri the journey performed regularly many times a-day in eighty minutes ! Under the " old system " we eonld post up to two o ' clock in the morning , and have the morning ' s delivery . Thus the " aooderalmi ' ' system requires as to post letters . from a place eighty minutes distant , full eight hours sooner tfr " we did under the Mail Coach

      dynasty ! 5 h « folly and absurdity of the arrangements we complain of will be more fully apparent when we state , that the Mail bags for a great portion of the places we hare above enumerated , are carried out of Leeds by a Mail which leaves between six aadseTenin the evening , tint they are deposited at the Norm&nton Kail way Station Just ten miles out of Leeds ) within twenty minutes after that Mail starts from Leeds ; and that they are left Otere HU sir o'dock ntri montiTig , When they &T 6 tonveyed forwards to York and Z ^ ewcastls by the Mail which started out of London more than an hour after the said Tori and Newcastle letters

      started from Leeds . ' . ' ! T » secore a mornings delivery far letters and newspape r * in Halifax , Heoden-bridge , Todmorden , Rochdale , Oldham , Ashton , Manchester , Liverpool , and indeed all Lancashire , it ifi necessary that they are posted before six o ' clock the previous evening : though we have a railway communication direct , -which makes Manchester only two and half hours distant , "d-d-. r the o . i nfime of " fa t " mafl coaches , we could post in Leeds up to twelTe o ' clock the previous night , and the tetters were delivered in Manchester and the other places -we hare named , just as soon as they now are !! Ihiblin letters were , and are , also conveyed by the same mails ; the Leeds box for lttters was regularly open

      till ten at night ; so that Lhe merchants cf Leeds and all sending letters are obliged to post than full torn hours sooner under the " acseZeraied " system than unto thfe old one l Iadeed , out of all the recent Railway Mail arrangements , the public of Leeds derive no benefit from any one , in the shape of accelerated despatch , if we except ¦ fee Southern Mail to London . "With every other Hail they are worse off note than they were before . That is , they are obliged to post their letters sooner to secure a delivery at the same time m ti > e marnVng . Ttaie things ought not to be . They call loudly for chajtge . We commend the facts -we have stated to the notice of the Postmaster General .

      Tfere w « reqmreo to point ont a remedy for each pirrinusj state ef things above enumerated , we should reply that this is no par : of our business W * Tr ill , however , point ont tie fact , that a train leaves the Leeds 3 t 3 tion at forty minutes ¦ past fre ia Tie morning , which meets the London and Tori , and the London aod Leeds Mail at Normanton , and receives bats from it there to be conveyed to Manchester . > "ow , we a&k -why the York bags and the Ntwcastle bags cannot be kept open in Leeds till the office closes at ten ax night , and be conveyed to Xonsanton by this train in tie morning ? They wouid be in time enough to be forwarded by the very mail wtich dow carries them after they have laid in the raiTsr&y station Dearly t-steWe boars . This arrangement wcnld give the people of Leeds full four hours more for the posting of their letters to those

      tvo places than the pmenx system gives . And , we-may further ask , why cannot a tag be despatched by the s&me Train with letters for Manchester up to ten tie prtvious night ? This ¦ would give the people of . Ltids four hours more , as far as Man-Chester is coEcemtd ; and the people of Manchester wcuid be beneStted , in the receipt of such letters , fnl ] y seven hours : With respect to the Glasgow district , some more direct and expeditious mode must be found- The L ^ fcdi awi CariMe Jlail was timed so as to arrive in the latter place just half an hour afcer the departure of the G ' . asgow Mail : consequently the bags brought by the Leeds and Carlisle Mail had to vail either twelve or rwcEty-four hours before they cco'd be forsranied . ' . ' . ' I : is there / jre necessary to forward letters from Leeds to Glasgow by uxiy of H' j ? -rf . £ i- er . ' . ' . ' AdBiirs . bls &rraag ^ ui siit : Cannot this be mended ?

      STTZTDESLIiAND . —Tketotalism . —On Monday evening , the 19 ; h instant , a public meeting was held in the Arcade long room , Suaderland , Mr . Nicholas Smirke in the chair . After most appropriate addresses ftom the Chairman , Mr . John Hill , and Mr . Alexander Wilson , Mr . Williams , who had been specially inrited by the Committee of the Society to deliver an address , aro 3 e and spoke at considerable length . He began by briefly glancing at the many evils of intemperance—showed that physically , mentally , socially , and nationally , it was the destructive source of enormous evils ; that all eriJ called for a remedy ; that the great and manifold evilB of intemperance called specially for the strenuous efforts of the philanthropist and the patriot for their

      suppression . Mr . Williams then went on to point out the means by which these necessary efforts might be successfully brought into operation . He examined the different projects of different individuals , for the removal of the unirereaUy acknowledged evils of drunkenness . He sbowea that these projects were nearly as numerous as the projectors ; that inadaptation to the necessities of the case to which they were to apply , were their invariable characteristics . Where were their trophies ? Where were the reformations that they had effected 1 Nothing of the 6 ort could be pointed to in support of their schemes . He attributed the failure of every effort to suppress drunkenness , by preventing it in the future and curing it in the past , to the fact , that they all stopped short of total abstinence . No definite , practicable , definable scheme for the production of a universal

      temperance reformation , short of total abstinence , liad ever yet been propounded . Mr . Williams then proceeded to shew in detail , by startling and conclusive facts and arguments , that total abstinence wa 3 a remedy . Indeed , that it was & remedy -was universaDy admitted . But the speaker proceeded further to utterly subvert and destroy all opposition —all rational opposition—by mcontestibly establishing that total abstinence was not only a means for effecting & temperance reformation , but that it was the only means , and that it was recommended by efficiency , practicability , and cheapness . Mr . Williams then went on to establish that the plan of total abstinence was of universal application—that to carry out a plan of temperance reform which had been proved to be the efficient , the only efficient one

      was a moral daty—that moral duties were of universal application—that hence it was the duty of all to unite for lhe purpose of effecting the declared and attainable ends contemplated by Total ADStineDce Societies . As farther motives to co-operation in ; h : s great -work of moral reform , Mr . Williams concluded by contrasting the superior glory of the objects contemplated , and issues to be obtained , by these Societies , with the objects and issues of the greatest warriors that had ever lived , and the most glorious wars that were ever won . The address throughout , and at its clo ? e , was loudly applauded . Between thirty and forty signatures to the total abstinence pledge were obtained . It was announced \\ the close that Mr . Candlish , draper , would address i the meeting . next Monday evening .

      HtTZiIh—Kingston Unity . —The Independent Order of Odd Fellows , Kingston Unity , held their first anniversary in Hall , on Monday last . In the afternoon , a great number of the brethren , wearing the embkm ; of ihe order , assembled in Osbournettreet , and after being arranged according to their respective Lodges , nameiy , Olive Branch , Prince Regent , Anfirew MarveJ , Sir William Lowthorp , and Brotherly Love ; the band struck up " God Have the Queen , " and the procession moved s ' . ewly through the principal streeis and its environs . 2 vot a more orderly and respectable procession of the kind has been seen in Hull for some time , and a very great majority appeared to be quite young men . The display oj flags and banners Tvas very imposing

      : and greatly admired , particularly the district flig , , which bore a representation of King Edward pre' sending the Charter to the ancient fishermen of ; Hail ,- a porple flag , with a fuil-length portrait of j that almost inimitable patriot , Andrew Marvel ; and 1 a purple silk banner , with the emblem of Charity ; beauufuiiy painted and gilded . Great attraction ; was also created br the first banner , which bore the i design Of the " good Samaritan , " arid said lo be ! presented by the ladies friendly to the Kingston Unity ; and also to the last , on which wa , s gilded the cres : of Sir William _ Low : horp . late major of Hull , and by whom the Umiy is patronised , arid before whose residence the band played the national air , and the brethren gave three hearty huzzas . After

      the procession nad returned to Osbouroe-street , the brethren separated , and in the evening dined at their respective Lodges . Since the formation of this Unity , it his doubled its number , aud the united stock of two of its Lodges is one thousand pounds ! The Urder is in a very healthful and prosperous state , and there 13 little doubt but t : ; at ere long the Kingston Unity will spread far and wide , as its sole object is the good of each , aud the good of all who ep . list nnder H 3 banner . EDINBURGH . —There is much talk about the legality of Macaulay and Craig's election ; the ^ eaeral notion is , that Thompson and Lowery are the Ifgal members . The following article is from the Edinburgh Evening JW , a Terr paper published

      on Wednesday and Saturday : — " Messrs . Macaclet A . VD Gibsox Craig i . v da » cgkb , —The question is generally discussed whether these gentlemen are the two legally elected members for Edinbnrgh , or whether Messrs . Thompson and Lowery , the Chartists , are not . entitled to that honour . It is clear from the terms of the Reform Act , that in the event of a show of hands beimf taken , and a poll demanded by the caadidates in the minority , the poll i 3 imperatively enjoined- " it fhail take place . " In this cas ^ , huwcvtr , one of the Chartist candidates and the proposer oi ihe other expressed their desire that no poll should take place ; but it was then too late . The Sheriff had only one djry to perform , to comply with

      tne terms of the act , which left him no alternative , bur to proceed to the poll , in order to test tne show of hands . The mover acd seconder , or even a candidate himself , has no power to withdraw , after his came is fairly inthe hands of the electors . If these views be correct , ihe Edinburgh election was determined by a show of hands , and , therefore , Messrs . Thompson and Lowery are the legal representatives . 'VS iieiher they will take the necessary steps to esrabj > h their right to this dignity remains to be seen . " — So there appears to be a chance of having one ol two questions settled : have the Chartists the honor so be the members ? or can they contest elections at the hustings free from the erpence of going to the poll ?

The meeting is adjourned to Monday evening nest , to be holden at the Horns Tavern , Cruci-Si-iane , Bermondsey , when it is requested that all who are favourable to the Charter will attend to render r ^ iinar . rp .

      Fight and Death op Two Bulls . —One day Ust week , the gate having been incautiously left open , two bulls , a large one and a smaller one , met in the yard of the Eastham Ferry House . This yard is on the edge of the Mersey , and on one side of it are precipitous rocks . The bulls rushed at each Other , and a fierce battle ensued . The small bull had the worst of the fight . He was thrust orer the edge of the precipice , to which he clung by his fore feet . The lar ^ e bull , seeing his head just over the edge of the rocks , rashed at him onoe more . Headlong he plunged over the precipice , and was killed instantly on the rocks beneath : the other , falling on his hindpr parts , escaped death from the fal l only to receive it from the knife of the butcher .

They engaged a room from Smith , at the Rosemary

      Branch Inn , Peckham , and issued bills for a meeting , after which they were prevented from meeting in the room by the landlord . They then engaged another room from Messrs . Berryman and Adams , Grove House , Peckham Grove , andagaia issued bills . After the bills had been in circulation several days , the day before the lecture was to have been delivered Mr . Berryman called upon the Secretary , to say that they could not have the room . We do not wonder at this ; it will always be so while working men hold their meetings at the " drunkeries , " instead of at their own halls , which they ought to have , and easily might have .

      Mr. Edwards And The Newport Chartists.

      MR . EDWARDS AND THE NEWPORT CHARTISTS .

      TO THE ED 1 T 0 K OF THE NORTHERN STAR . 5 ir , —An insertion of the following statement of fact ? , in vindication of character , will greatly oblige : — I am a member of the National Association , residiDg at Newport , in the County of Monmouth . On Monday night previous to the day of nomination at Monmouth , we had a meeting , when we had a letter from Dr . Price , stating his intention to come forward to offer himself a candidate , and desiring ilr . Edwards to wait until his arrival at Newport , which he declined , ( though the Association had promised to pay his expenses . ) stating that he was going on his own business . Having to at

      bailed ^ person appear the Quarter Sessions I started early for Vsk . Soon after my arrival there , Messrs . Edwards and Dickison arrived , and called at the public-house where I put up . They told me they were going to Monmouth , and I said if the trial would be over in due time , that I should be there myself tnat night . I weni to the Hall , and found that the Grand Jury had ignored the bill . On my return from the Hall , I met Edwards on the steps of the Hall , whom 1 informed that my business was over . He told me that 1 might come to Monmouth with him and Dickison . We arrived at Monmouth about two o ' clock . We put up at the Angel , and took our dinner at the large room . After dinner , Edward 3 went out to see ( as he said ) Mr .

      Buttery . He came back in a few minutes , and said that Buttery was at Utk , and that he had a trial there . We went out together , with a view of seeing the town . I met with one of our Association Councilmen , and told him I had something to say to him . I told him that Edwards was not our man to be nominated , but Mr . Price ; and that I should be very happy for the whole Council to meet , in order that I might make known the whole truth to them . This conversation took place before a Mr . Taylor ' s door , who is another council man . I was invited to tea to Mr . Buttery's , and went , where a great many of the ceuncilmen had as ? mbled . I told them that Edwards had not come there at the request of the association , but of his own accord

      that we had written to Mr . Price , desiring him to come forward as a candidate in opposition to Mr . B 2 ewit £ , that Mr . Price had written a reply , stating that he was not only ieady and willing to serve tne will of the sovereign people if such a man as he was , should be considered by a clear majority of the people worthy of being ' put ia nomination at the next general sale of the nation to represent us . I told them that the council met on Sunday night , at Edwards' house , when and where Price's letter was rea-d . On Monday morning we sent a messenger to Mr .

      nnized enough W return » Chartiat candidate by a show of hands . This letter was read in the hearing « f Edwards . We begged of him to stop for Mr . Price , but he would not . stating that he wanted to see Mr . Buttery . A desire to have a requisition drawn up was made known , and Edwards promised to have it ready by Monday ni ^ ht , on which ci ^ ht we had a meeting , when Edwards declined having anything to do with Mr . Price . We asked him if he had the requisition ready , according to his promise . He said he knew nothing at all about it , and would not have anything to do with it . 1 told the Council that they might fairly see Edward ' s disposition , and that he would not only vote for Mr . Blewitt , but that he would also induce every one that he oould

      to vote for him likewise ; therefore , that we had broke all connections with him , and , whatever they would do , for them not to nominate Edwards , ia the event that Mr . Price should not come forth . The sane night , a pnblio meeting was called , at which Edwards and Dickison delivered speeches . Edwards proposed himself as a candidate , and never mentioned the name of Mr . Price . Here I acknowledge that I ought to hare contradicted him ; but , thinking it the Chairman ' s duty , I refrained . Before the meeting broke up , Mr . Buttery arrived , and I was desired to step back , in order to state to Mr . Buttery what I had previously stated to the Council , which I faithfully did , and a letter from the Secretary at Newport

      was received and read , stating the same facts as I had done . Mr . Buttery asked me what was to be done with the letter , whether it would be best to shew it to Edwards aud Dickison , or not . I said , " Shew it , most undoubtedly ; in order to know what they will eay about it . " Consequently , Mr . Buttery took the letter to them at the Angel , and I remained at Mr . Buttery ' 8 house . Shortly afterwards , I went to the Angel . The first question Mr . Buttery asked Dickison was , "if he was prepared to denounce Mr . Blewitt , not personally , but as a supporter of the present shvffiing Government . " He declared then and there that he would uot . The same question was pat to Edwards , who answered , unhesitatingly , that he was prepared , and would- denounce Mr . Blewitt

      as a supporter of a base Government . On Wednesday mpming , very early , the Secretary of the Newport Association , arrived with a letter from Mr . Price , stating that he was coming unprovided—that he should not arrive at Monmouth in due time—that they were at full liberty to make use of his name on every requisite occasion . This caused the Chartists of Monmouth to fear that if Mr . Price should not arrive in due time , he should not have the majority by the show of hands . Edwards stated it' Mr . Price should come , that he would propose him , and that Dickison would second him . These were the last words I heard at the Angel . We went out together , but Edwards , Dickinson , and others went to the Mayor on some business unknown

      to me ; I proceeded to the Hail , tho place of nomination . Soon afterwards I saw Edwards there ; I sat not far from the place where he stood . Before the business commenced , a note was delivered to Edwards , the contents of which I knew not ; but soon afterwards I saw one of the hand bills , ( calling on Mr . Price to come forward , ) delivered into the Mayor's hands , and another note delivered to Edwards , the contents of which also I knew not then . I heard a voice calling Mr . Buttery out , when Edwards rose up his arm and said , Buttery , stop where you are , don ' t move . " I have seen the last note which Edwards received , which stated that Mr . Price had arrived and desired him to resign and propose Mr . Price , as he had . proposed ia the morning , which he refused to do , and wrote with a pencil the following reply , " You must do your own work yourselves when ihe time cornea . " The last words that he spoke at the Hall were , that he had given

      h \ 8 vote to Mr . Blewitt ^ for he had no wish to put him to any expence . I soon left the Hall and entered the Angel , where I saw Mr . Rogers ( Mr . Blewitt ' s great supporter and Republican ) , and Edwards , and Dickison in a close conversation . As I entered the room , Dickison told Rogers that I was a moralforce Chartist . Mr . Rogers asked me what I would drink ! I answered that I would not drink anything , that I was a teetotaller ; then he requested me to accept of a bottle of soda water , which I did . I heard Mr . Rogers say that he would rather than ten pounds if things went off as they were intended ; but that it was " that Buttery ' s" fault . I told Edwards that he had condemned himself by the last words he spoke in Court ; to which he made no reply . Mr . Rogers then said , " let U 3 go ami try to settle it . Edwards , Dickison , and Rogers went out together , and I was desired to remain behind ; but I soon went out after them . I saw Dickison

      in the street , though I did not see either Edwards or Rogers . I left Monmouth , and rode home in company with Edwards and Dickison . Between Usk and Caerleon I told Edwards that I was glad Mr . Blewitt was obliged to come to the poll after all ; Edwards replied , he did not know what to do ; but be supposed he was bound to vote for him tomorrow ; when I exclaimed , "Good God , poll for him , what is it you mean ? " When Dickison replied , " O , no , there is do need for you to do that , " and the conversation dropped .

      I wish to know on what account Mr . Edwards felt inclined to vote again for Mr . Blewitt : is it on account of Mr . Blewitt ' s application to the Secretary of State , to have Frost , Williams , and Jones tried by a Special Commission \ or because Mr . Blewitt came to a certain meeting , convened on last New Year ' s-day , to intimidate the friends of Frost , Williams , and Jones 1 or , because he left London for Newport the time petitions were to be presented to the House of Commons for the liberation of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the liberation of all political prisoners , and returned the following night to vote for Ministers ! or for having

      apprehended him ( Edwards ) on the Queen ' s highway without having any warrant for his apprehension . I defy Mr . Edwards or any other man . to point out any legitimate steps Mr . Blewitt has taken either in or out of the House of Commons , to advance the Chartist cause ? Would I vote for such a mau ? No never ! I would rather live and die in poverty , than I would accept a penny from either a Whig or a Tory , and I am , Sir , Yours , &c . Jonah Williams , tailor , Llanarthy-atreet .

      MR . B . J . RICHARDSON AND THE SOUTH LANCASHIRE CHARTISTS . TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND . FRiEriDS , —We have read with some little astonishment a letter in the Star of last Saturday , signed " R . J . Richardson , " and reflecting severely on the Manchester and South Lancashire Chartists , in regard of some money that he alleges is due to him for printing , &c . for the great demonstration in September , 1838 , and for which , he states , Mr . George Condy and others are Jikely to involve him in trouble . Now , Friends , our object in thus addressing you is , that we wish you to withhold your verdict , as there is a proper committee appointed to make all the necessary enquiry into the debt alleged to be due to him , and it is hoped that , by next week , the Committee will have a full report ready for the public

      Signed on behalf the Tib-street Association , James Wheeler , Chairman . Manchester , 29 th July , 1811 , [ In reference to this matter , we have several other communications from different quarters ; some of them following eut Mr . Richardson ' s appeal , and severely censuring the Manchester and South Lancashire Chartists , for their neglect of duty to him ; ethers , from the the neighbourood of Manchester , strongly denouncing Mr . Richardson , and acquitting the Associated Caartists of a )) blame . In this state of things , w « t shall wait , before inserting any of them , for the report of the committee alluded to by Mr . Wheeler—Ed . ]

      THINGS AS THEY ARE . TO THB EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN 8 TAR . Sir , —The noise , bustle , trickery , deception and humbug , so conspicuously manifested by the rival factions during tbe retent struggle for political ascendancy , having now almost subsided , and as the public mind is becoming more tranquillised , we , the Chartists , ought now to attend to our own affairs , and prosecute our warfare against every antagonist power , do matter under what name it be distinguished , that militates » sainst our sacred cause , which has for its object the promotion and security of the greatest possible happiness to all .

      The public nnnd has been too much stultified by the adoption of double-meaning and unmeaning terms , such as " practical reform , " extension of tha suffrage , " " full , free , and fair representation , " &c , and even the most consummate tyrants that evertrod the surface of the globe have assumed the name of " Liberals , " while the Fox and Goose Club , which consisted of a few discorafltted Corn Lair Leaguers , bad tbe effrontery to arrogate to themselves the honourable appellation of vt Radical ! Reformers . "

      During tbe recent elections it has been proved to the most sceptical that the balance of power is in eur hands . Mr . O'Connor has repeatedly stated that to be the fact , prior to the recent " appeal to the popular will , " and the factions as frequently laughed at the idea ; bus now bow stands the matter ? Why , both the Whigs and Tories know , and confess , that without us they can do nothing . Tbe Whigs ascribe their defeat to Chartist influence , and the Tories know that Chartist opposition to Whig domination has given them , for the present , a victory over their brethren in iniquity . It can no longer be denied that the despised Chartists can kick the beam on either side , even although " Little Finality" and his adherents have said " Ye shall have no part or lot in the matter . "

      Disputes have arisen respecting the policy and the impolicy of supporting tbe Tories in preference to tbe Whigs during the recent contested elections . As sucb disputes hate arisen betwsen " good men and tone , "—

      Untitled Article

      as no principle has been compromised—no blinking of our demand , and no serious breach been occasioned . I shall merely say , as a looker on , ( having taken no part in the affair , ) Jet peace and concord prevail in our ranks ; let all bickering cease , and let our great school-master ( O'Brien ) , and oar unconquerable General ( O'Connor ) , shake hands , and rejoice , with us , that the election movement has shown to friend and foe that we have a power which must not be trifled with . And what serves more forcibly to evince our power—our moral strength—is the fact that a Tast portion ef oar army remained inactive , and kept in quarters , deeming tbe conflict between the two parties of too little importance to demand their aid .

      Now , let not tbe Tories '' lay tbe flattering unction to their souls" that there is any reaction ia their favour ; if they do , they will find themselves grievously mistaken . Tnoy have done nothing to merit popular support : the expectations of tbe people are not directed towards them ; and were it not for the resolve of the unenfranchised Chutists to evince their strength , and to shew that a Whig " appeal to the popular will " could be dealt with according to tbe deserts of that tyrannical and persecuting faction , the Tories would not have shouted " Victory" through the land . The Chartists are now on tbe vantage ground , and it must be retained ; all minor difference and splitting of hairs must be laid aside , and a hearty pall , " a strong pull , and a pull altogether" made for the overthrow of aristocratic domination , and the establishment of tbe pure principles of democracy .

      Surely , th « " Finality" clique and the Educationmongers will throw aside their fiddles , seeing that in every instance where the " ignorant" Chartists have had an opportunity of standing side by side with tbe titled aspirants to senatorial honours , the former have far surpassed tbe latt er in sound sense and close reasoning . Never has the Imbecility and consummate ignorance of both factions been made more palpable than during the present election movements . The masterminds of Whiggery bare dwindled into insignificance ; and the Ciceroes of Toryism have been shewn not one whit

      superior to second or third class school-boys , wherever tbe voice of the self-taught chartist has been raised in elncidfttlon of the principles of good government . The science of government is now better understood by our missionaries than by those who are dubbed statesmen and senators . Half a dozen thread-bare coated Chartist lecturers would be of more essential service to her Majesty and the people , than any Cabinet that could be formed from college-bred materials . However , as I have no hope that Royalty will take counsel of men who have been tutored ia the school of experience , we must content ourselves with treading at a distance .

      Well , 1 have said , we axe now on tUe ' vantage ground , and we must retain it , as every artifice will be made to dislodge us . Every attempt to create division by the introduction of measures of " expediency" must be opposed . Step-by-step doctrines must be manfully resisted , and now that evidence has been given to both factions of our strength , we must be proof against every trick they employ to court our support . Oar motto is , " Universal Suffrage , and no Surrender , " and to it we must adhere . Tbe missionaries that have been , or are now , employed have done incalculable good . Let them ge on in tbe course they have hitherto pursued , and let the Chartists , generally , stand firm and support them , and ere long , we shall be blessed with the full fruition of our rights .

      We want no propounding of new schemes—those only tend to distract the public mind ; our principles are stript of all ambiguity and the mode now pursued of carrying them into operation is , peaceful . " legal , " and effective , and carries terror into the enemies' camp . Goon , then , inthe same track . Let the messengers of political truth go forth as they have recently doue , and their efforts must be crowned with success . I am glad when I see old and tried friends working in the field ; and I , this morning , had the pleasure of receiving a letter from Mr . Skevington , of Lougbborough , stating bis intention of making a tour northwards . The people have confided their interests to his hands on two important occasions—he being delegated to the National Convention , and also to the Political Prisoners' Convention ; and I doubt not but bis presence will be acceptable in every town he may visit .

      As bis letter is short , I beg you will insert it . It is as follows : — " Loughborough , July 17 , 1841 . " Dear Rider , —I purpose to visit Mr . O'Connor at York , and lecture at a few of the places as I go through , to raise the expenee ; I have , therefore , taken the liberty to trouble you to make arrangements for Barnaley on the 29 th , Wakefleld or Leeds on tbe 30 tn , York on the 31 st ; and I have thought of Hull on the 2 nd , Gainborough on the 3 rd , and Lincoln on the 4 th , if you think it would be well ; if not , say Bradford , Halifax , Huddersfleld , and Dewsbury . " Will you have the kindness to adopt that mode you think best , and let me hear from you ? " I am to be at Nottingham on the 26 th , Mansfield on the 27 th , and Chesterfield on the 28 th . " I hope you are well in health , and that I shall have the pleasure of seeing you on my way . " Your early attention will greatly oblige ,

      " Yours , In the cause of right , " John Skevington . " Now , Sir , allow me to state my willingness to ( Jo all I can to assist all who have the like object in view , with my friend Skevington , and that I should deem it no trouble whatever to assist in making every arrangement for him or for any other advocate of the Charter ; but , unfortunately , I have no correspondence with our brethren in any of the towns he names ( Leeds excepted ) and , consequently , I cannot address the secretaries of tbe various associations . He knows how , and when , I was shelved ; since then , I have acted indedpendent of every man , though ever willing to aid all to the utmost of my power ; therefore I have no other method to pursue than requesting you to insert bis letter , and to permit me to b ^ g the attention of our friends to its contents . They will perceive the dates and can correspond with Mr . S . and make their own arrangements .

      I will not advise Mr . Skevington as to his route , as no man can go wrong who goes forth with the charter in his hand . Let the Associations see to this—it is their business . Yours truly , Wiixiam Rider . Leeds , July 19 th , 1841 .

      REPEAL AND CHARTISM IN IHBLAND . —We g ! T « the fallowiag from thd Dublin World . Our readers will perceive that it ia from the correspondent of the World , in Cork , and it tella a tale of fearful doom * ing for the factions in ill-fated Ireland ;—** Coek—( From our own Correspondent . J—Our city election , has ended , Colonel CJiatterton ' s agents having enterei a protest , and Meaars . Callaghan and Murphy are oar representatives , notwithstanding thatv * ' canine Scotchman' named-Carnep © , assured tho poor fleeced Colonel that he would at last beat oo Popish priests . This election , has given birth tv

      strange ideas , and converted some of our leading men into Chartists , and others into whippers-infor the Ministers . Mr . Hayes , certainly the ables * man in our city , waa furions for aseeond repeal candidate , and accused the people of deserting this great question ; he avowed himself a Chartist , and gave a plumper to Mr . Callaghan , the repeal caadir date . I fear repeal ia ' shook' in the' beautiful city / and from the bottom of my soul I am sorry for it , as I am firmly convinced that nothing but a domestic Parliament will ever ma&e * Ireland as she ought to be .

Tory Ministri-. —That with a majority of som » eighty , upon the gross returns of the general eleotion over their Waig antagonists , the Tories should , by this time , have looked into their master-roll , and well considered who would be best calculated to discharge the principal trusts of official power with most advantage to the country and most honour to themselves—was a course which must have been anticipated . Accordingly , several lists were , jester * day , handed about , id certain political sanctuaries in the immediate vicinity of Pall-mall and St . James ' e-street . Two of these we know to havs

      emanated from quarters with every means and every probability of being well-informed on the contemplated elements which it is intended should enter into the constitution of the new Cabinet . In the lisk we quote from , we find the following names , and the corresponding offices respectively appropriated to them : —Others which belong to those whom we deem less likely to be called , presently , to power , we purposely abstain from mentioning here . First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer—Sir Robert Peel . First Lord of the Admiralty—His Grace the Duke of Buckingham .

Her Majesty ' s Ambassador at Paris—Lord Lynd » hurst . —Morning Heraldf Wednesday . Strange Delusion . —The wife of a tradesman at Peckham has for some time laboured under the extraordinary delusion that she has within her " a rarenotis rat . " A variety of means have been used to restore to her the exercise of reason on this point , but hitherto without effect . She has lately undertaken to starve the frightful tormentor to death , but it is feared her own life may be the sacrifice , as it is with difficulty she can be prevailed on to take food to support existence . The medicial men who have examined her are of opinion that she has an internal tumour , which at times causes pain , which she mistakes for the kicking of the " ravenous rat . "

      The Armstrong Liver Pills are recommended as an Anti-bilious medicine , to every sufferer from bilious complaints and indigestion , or from an inactive liver , and are procurable at all Druggists , and at the Northern Star office .

They are admirably adapted for sportsmen , agriculturists , men of business , naval and military men ; as they contain no mercury or calomel , and require neither confinement to the house , nor restraint in diet .
