      UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD . iKTIEB XXIV . TO 5 BS XDISOB OP THB ItOKTHEBS STAK » STE— YOttr papers of tne last two weeks are now y . foreTES , asa they bear strong testimony of the rapid procrsss which is being made in the patbtic mind ; snd » re *> oin nUed'witb evidence of a rising power in . the people that will soon convince those in authority , of the policy and necessity of justice . I could desire to delete this letter to an explanation of my Tiews of the importance of the present Conference ,

      * nd there is sIbo matter in this dsy ' a paper of the most TalnaWe kind , to whish J shonld like to c-11 theespeoal notice of yonr readers ; but as I see yotir colnmns tze Vkdy to be more and more « £ 8 ged , and I cannot fairiT expect even the regular insertion of my own par-** cniar series , I shall content myself with advising all who read these letters , diligently te make tberaselves acquainted with tie other ispcront matters that are cow feeing developed in tfee Star ; and to tjfee care that the information they tbertby acquire is well circulated through the sphere of their influence , be it large or small .

      " in such a work as tbe = people of this county are n&w dgaged in , each Indiana ! should consider himself religiously , bosnd to pexlsras his own panwnlax part of it , in such a manner , as though the success of the whole depended spen his doisg Mb part welL None are so important that they = se to assume to feemselves the attributes of divinity , and believe their nsassisted knowledge can Accomplish the task ; but each 'must actively employ tee talents -committed to his -charge by th&t powerto whom all ttiugsbelong .

      In my last letter I reviewed tbemevement of Rv-bseea 5 u Wales ; that <) f -the Anti-Corn law iea ? us ; and the changes thai are taking place in the -churches of England , Scotland and Ireland 5 in order to-shew the remedies that they respectively propose for the removal of " what has been-fonnd oppressive in the affairs of British Society ; and -I shall sow proceed -by making a few remarks on "the-sabject of dissent ; asfee dissenters hare during the put session , shewn , in- the cue of the Tactory Education Bill , that they posseseTery considerable fcorrngth when they act unitedly .

      Snowing well , as all must , who carefully rtflect upon the subject , that whenever the light of truth shall be fully manifested , dissent , division , and discord of all kinds , will « ce « e and be beard of no more , I have no fp * T that in deiaring there is much , very much of good in every 8 ect"that is now endeavouring to enlighten the public mind -upon their particular-riews of theology tint I shaH-be so far misunderstood on the oneb&nd as to be supposed to be . speaking ironically ; or on the other , that I »>»» be considered as withies ; persons to become at the same time Westejans aad Camm&U , or JJiptists and Unitarians . What I consider is , that fee greater portion are in pnrsnit of goodness and truth , and it is not for us to judze or condemn 01 brethren ; for tbe trutti that is in every individual being , will , if carefully stbmitted to , boob decide for him whether he acts in aooordaoce witb the bluest impulses with which hfi is imbued ; and if tins be done , none can for fS ^ time d « more .

      In looking at dissent 3 s a remedy for the removal of what 3 ui been found oppress !? e , we shall find it has been no trig ing one . To the dissenters , as a body , must ve attribute that general instruction of tke people in the elements of education , which tint began to cultivate the immense field of human intellect that is now about to bring forth such an abundant harvest . It is certain all cannot have taught truth on all subjects , for truth is oomdftent in all its parts , and will therefore always be found in unity under every variety ; but the imptrfectkm of their efforts is rather to be attributed to tbe vast of a further manifestation « f the divine li > ht than to any other cause ; and what is so much calcularsd to increase this light as the cultivation of the human intellect , the chief agency through which it has fe ^ es developed to mas is all ares ?

      I may be told that there is much of hypocrisy in many teachers of theological subjects , and that they thereby enslave and lead away captive the minds of the people , but even if this be true , those in whom the truth is much , more . developed , and who are able to act on it , never need fear tbe opppsition . It is true that in past ages millions have perished , for believing thing * which by the centietions made upon their senses they were compelled to believe ; it is also true that is this our day many have to suffer for conscience sake ; but the balance of satisfaction has always been in favour of free ecqniry ; and every mode or variation of dissent it an evidence of a -determination on the parts of the followers to assert this claim , as far as they have been enlightened respecting it .

      Tha proceedings of many of the dissenting bodies may wtU be referred to on the subject of Organization , and more especially those of the Wesleyan Methodists . If we consider the dark and unenlightened state < f tbe fsneral body of the public , when John Wesley commenced his career ; if we look to the energetic . manner * n which he pursued it , and at the gradual bold which as a body his successors have taken on the people , by a good Organisation , and by finding out even the most irscrant , asd teaching them to think and to feel that they were at the least born for a higher destiny than merely to eat * n& drink , to work aad sleep ; we shall aee in this movement a most powerful one towards that universal change which is speedll } to unite us as one family , and make brethren of all nations on earth .

      Passing from the Dissenters , I must not forget the share that is being taken in providing a remedy for tbe removal of what has been found oppressive by those who bare been termed the Infidels and Atheists . In all ages and in all countries , to express thoughts far in Advance of the spirit of the age , has been to incur the liability of being branded with these terms ; and thus tbe greatest and wisest of men ; those who have been the most strictly conscientious , and the greatest benefactors of their time * have been subject to all sorts of reproaches , persecutions , and sufferings under this charge , Tbe infidelity sf one age is tbe orthodoxy of another ; aad whilst it holds the former name there can "be very little temporal good derived from it , we may be well Assured that among this class there will always bs found honest and zealous men , persons ready t * submit to the sternest privations for tbe purpose of establishing what they believe to be the truth .

      With regard to Atheism , I cannot think that any one can disbelieve there is a power in and through which iZl things exist ; and this is the greatest enlightannual on the subject of deity , to which any of us can wive at . All Scriptures agree in declaring this power to be incomprehensible ; and if the evidences on the mind of any individual bring him to &&y that in his lilifcf there is so ( rod , although 1 can by no means feel as he does , yet I can see , even in this declaration , " a nooesty of purpose , that claims my respect , and that enlarg&a the mind to a more diligent ipqairy into the buthlhat is within me ; and if it acts tbus generally on humanity , it must assist is providing the true i « anedy .

      Having bow renewed at some length this branch of mynulject , I shall proceed rather out of the order in which I intended to bring it forward , to look at the Bew Poor law Bill ; but this deviation is induced by the 4 ocuH 3 ent which appears in your paper of to-day , addressed by "the Poor law CommisBiontrs to the Swansea Board of Gnardiana , on which you have so ably commented is a leading article . Much has been said asd written against the- New Poor Law Bill ; bnt I have alwsys regarded it as one of the greatest causes of progress we possessed , as 1 sawit could not fail to rouse into activity all the latent powers of the people ; and stimulate tHem to use eucb exotica as should sot only give them individual relief , bet place the whole fabric of -society on such a basis , that we should sever again have to fear , that man sbonld become the slave of his broihtr man .

      It is certainly painful to witness the sufferings through which the people of this country are now passing ; it is jiiTifnl to think that one portion , revelling in wealth and luxury for which they have no seed , shall drive Jnto the miserable depths of poverty , which they do , the main body of their fellow creatures ; but- this is necessary , to produce among . all et us those changes of mind and feelings which can alone prepare us for that vntrexBsJ love which wili absorb us all , as it were , into ose beings and teach us the happiness , the joy , the pleasure , of an entire sympathy , sot only with our

      fellow-creatures , feut with everything that has lile . It ^ well to cry out against tke framers of such an act ; and certainly , whilst locking at it with reference " to immediate effects , nothing can be , to quote from Mr . O'Connal on another sutgtct , mare " base , bratal , and Woody /* bnt we must sow look beyond this view of it , r * ul take a comprehensive grasp of the part it performs in enlightening the minds of the sufferers of all classes , whether payers or receivers ; to the convictJon of the impossibility of the system , as a system , being much locker pursutd .

      On . this subject perhaps more than on any other has the prca done its duty , os the common ground of humanity ; and the stone reaark will , I think , to some extent apply to the elercy . The measure wsm « oubt-> -s brcugit m by the Whigs and agreed to by the fTv " v . t * * P «* emBg the rental of that J"id which they are at pment pleased to call their own ; and which , whilst a mere existence « mld be pro-Tided for the people . no one would have interrupted them in the possession of . Very few years have bowever wrought -rocderfnl change , in tbe public mind , plough what has yet t * ken place , is as nothing , to *^ ^ TISi ^ T **** * occat ' * te » ™ * U . ? idually begin to do ° w duty to ourselves , by performicR it to our poorer brethren , then ah » U we reap as abundant Te ward .

      Ab you truly observe , the Invasion rnaSe upon the rights of the poor , has bow come to the door of the middle classes , and aost through them pervade all othtrs . It will be ueeJt * s to blama any * or the coarse they bare cit&erto pursued , for all ha ? e bees actuated by the as » motive * , namely , » elf preservation ; and TrbllBi Btrirlkg to reach iboee abore ihea they hava Cf-ed bat little let those below . Wt 2 * t tbe wants of man bm been multiplying by ? Se false emulaBoB of the past century , every indivi-£ o&l has becoae poor , whatever may be the amount of his posswelaijs ; sod each one will remain poor until ie Is prepared to do hii share in providing for others equally wkh himself . Weswy still see a little more Jrtrifa and contention to support as individual and c cm petiuve » £ rt « H ; we may faacy wi ' wiU by this or that

      of God , and consequently can be entitled to neither ' peace or rest . j It would be ea % y to point out a node wherry through tbe agency of the New Poor Iaw Bill ; b" ^ as it is , All those who at present retain for themselv ^ $ & elements from which , the great creating univew *\ power has declared "by eternal and immutable laws . ^ at human subsistence Bhall be provided may be speedily Bade to desire to give them np for the gen' ^ good ; ^ t we are not yet prepared to act on it W have so far deviated from tbe true path , and are ther jfcy become so scattered and dispersed , that a little mor j pain asd suffering must be borne , whilst the sheep are being celtected together , before they can be brought J & and folded in more pleasant pastures .

      When I proceed to the Miird division of my subject , namely , " to show that it fc incumbent on us to introduce & new ordpr of things , and to point out the mode in which tbis is to be f iFected" , I Bhall have much to say rejecting tbe Poor Laws ; but for the present I wonld only further rtmark , that no one should neglect to g « e the greatest publicity to every instance of cruelty that comes to b . is notice ; and above all , so one fiboKW forget that every poor man ia his brothers and if Ire can give him nothing else , he can at the least fiivfl him kindness and sympathy in hia sfiUctionj and tbe 3 e will soon provide the requisite conditions for universal love to effect a change .

      The next remedy that I shall notice , suggested to me e 3 so by the document in your paper , from the workmen of Wingate Grange Colliery ; and also by the remarks -of your Welsh correspondent respecting tbe copper men , is that of Trades' Strikes . We havs often seen many learned and abstruse calculations made with regard to the cost of Strikes , and the money that has been mis-spent in them ^ but these calculations are generally made by persons who have litUe conception of their moral virtue . It is true , and it is an evident sign of progress , that this mode of procuring redress 1 b less resorted to than it was some years ago ; for experience has

      convinced the great body of operatives that a strike is not the true mode of accomplishing the object which all of us are in ie&ich of . But because this conviction has bren derived from experience , we are not entitled to oppose those who are travelling tbe samo path to come to the same enlightmeut . Strikes , as well as all other means , will serve to enlarge the minds to further progress ; and we may depend that there will be no going backward in tbe aggregate , whatever may be tbe case with a few individuals . The mighty ¦ bream of free inquiry is daily enlarging itself ; and those who would at all desire to dam it up , will only serve to exhibit , by their attempts , the fatility of warring against the Divine Power .

      Let us then not fear or be dismayed , at the prospect before us ; it is true that we have much to do , but we are well armed for the strurgle ; and there is every indication of its be ' ng speedily and peacefully made . If we look at the progress of the various msvements , they are as satisfactory almost as we could hope for , asd certainly far more so than we cauld reasonably expect . Tke Government is calmly preserving order without bloodshed . Father Mathe * is proceeding quietly , but fcffectu&lly , in his temperance mission ; the people of Ireland and of Wales are enjojing every leisure and opportunity for placing their grievances before the civillzsa world ; the Anti-Corn Law League , although sot exhibiting perhaps as much as they could wish hero-worship to their leaders , is effectually preparing for tbe removal of the heavy taxation on the first necessaries of life ; the various churches ,

      dissenters , infidels , atheists , and others , who deal in opinions , are all fast leading their respective followers up to high and serious thought , which will end in the discovery of truth ; the Poor Law Bill is heavily operating upon its victims , ct all classes , to point out to them tbe stem necessity of another course ; tbe trades' strikes are teaching both masters and men the extent to which they can annoy each other , and the little good that results from it ; whilst many other movements that I have not yet alluded to , will be found operating in the same beneficial manner ; and the whole question of tbe condition of the people ef this country ; the luxury of the ariBtocrati on the one band , and the misery of the operatives on tbe other , is exciting an interest among all other nations that cannot fail to go far towards accomplishing the universal salvation and redemption of man .

      TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES STEAil-FBIGArE , MISSOURI , BY FIBE .

      Cadiz , Fkidat , Sept . 1 . The sp . ' endid new steam-ship Bentinck arrived here from Gibraltar yesterday , confirming the intelligence which had previously reached the consulate , of tbe total destruction by fire of one of the finest vessel * of which tbe United States navy could boast . The following ia the official notification forwarded to Her Majesty ' s Consul at Cadiz : — " Port of Gibraltar , 27 th of August , 1843 . " The American steam-frigate of war , Missouri ,

      unfortusauy caught fire in the course of the past sight , and burnt down to the water ' s edge , between the Orange and Montague batteries , is four fathoms of water ; and as it is impossible to remove her now , she having goue to tbe bottom , and being anchored there , all captains of vessels who may enter the bay at night are thus advised , lest it sbenld happen that through bad weather or any other incident the light should be extingu-sked , which will be fixed over the placa where she is rank" W . Thompson , ActiDg Captain to the Port "

      The opportune arrival of the Bcstwck enables me to forward full additional particulars . The Missouri carried 38 guns , and was pierced for U . She was admirably equipped , and in all r ^ tpeets one ef the most perfectly appointed ships in the American navy . The erew was entirely saved through the active intervention of Her Majesty ' s steamer Xocust , which immediately repaired to the spot , attracted by a spectacle of such extraordinary and disastrous brilliancy . The burning vessel threw a glare over the entire rock , illumining in tbe midst of tbe eight tbe various points and batteries , and throwing its rffleetion over tbe bay as far as Algesiras . The black bulk and dark spars and rigging sWkJ ont in tbe midst of the intense glare of light with

      a fine but portentous effect , and the roar of the fire was inte mingled with the discharge of guns of distress , which soon , however , ceased in despair , created by tba awful rapidity with which tbe flames increased is their ravages , and made all human tfforts unavailing . The Locust got up bei steam immediately , and arrived just in time to rescue the crew from the fate which awaited them . So rapid was the progress of the flame from the moment it burst forth that by the time tbe Locust reached her side she had burnt down nearly to the water ' s edge . The Missouri had on board a very large quantity of gunpowder ; and to prevent the dangerous effects of explosion , it was judged advisable to scuttle her , which was successfully accomplished without delay , when she instantly disappeared .

      Ths Musoun was bound for Canton , with tbe new Ambassador sent from tbe "United States to the Emperor of China , tocether with tbe gentlemen of his embassy and suite . Tbe Ambassador will thus be compelled either to return to the United States , or to proceed as he best can by an indirect course to his destination . Ti . e fire was occasioned by combustion of the large cargo of coal which the Missouri was obliged to carry . This combustion had been goics en for a considerable time , and upon its discovery a qaantity of water was thrown upon the coal , which bad the effect of apparently fcxtireuishing the name . But it was , iu fact , merely

      smothered ; and upon its breaking out a second time , it was found to have gained such bead that no efforts could arrest its progress . How tbe fire was first communicated to the mass of coal has sot been ascertained . The fire engines were worked with great vigour , and other means resorted to to throw a qaantity of water on the flames , but in vain . It communicated itself rapidly to the remaining parts of the magnificent vessel . By dint of considerable txertiocs many valuable effects wt-re saved , and put on board the Locust , including 50 000 dollars of specie . The veesel was of immense capacity , her register being of nearly 2 , 000 tons , and her crew was very numerous .

      Extensive am > Destecctite Fires . For several hours on Saturday night last , a general alarm prevailed throughout the metropolis owing to the outbreak of numerous fires in such rapid succession , as to keep the brigade force and the engines in one oontinned service during the whole night ; and what renders tbis circumstance somewhat more remarkable is , that for the last four or five Saturday nights the brigade have been similarly engaged . The fir-t information that tnty received was about a quarter to ten o ' clock on Saturday night , of a fire , raging in tne City road . Mr . Braidwood , tbe superintendent of the force , with four of his engineB and a strong body of men , instantlj proceeded to ihe spot , and on their arrival it was found not to be of such an extensive character as they anticipated , tbe damage being merely confined to the burning of some furniture in a private honse . Wbile the firemen were preparing to return home with their engines , notioe was given that another fire hnd broken oat in the Old Kent

      road , to which the brigade started at a most tremendous rate . This , however , turned oat to be of no consequence , as their assistance was not required , tbe fire having been of eo trflmg a character , that a few buckets of water subduwd it . Withfa ft short time , however , after the bngademen had returned to their respective stations , expresses arrived announcing a serious fire raging at Wai worth "Five of the brigade engines were sent off with all despatch to tbe scene of destrnction , bnt owing 10 the dense fog tnrt prevailed at the time , the firemen were nnable w > see any reflection until they arrived within a hond

      oreyards of the spot , when ifr proved to have broken out on the ftoor-clo » h and table-cover mannfactory belonging to Mr . Oeveriey . situate on Walworth-common . The premises occupied a large area or gronai , and the fire originated in whal is termed ttte ovens , buildings nsed for japanning , About one H ^ " ^ ' of ^ b ioh there are several i brother f ' f k ; . ™^* . wio resided near the factory , ^ ad * . ° n > eMH > S the alarm , hastened to the spot , «? ? £ ? 5 ° - mg * watc ° m » n , who was left in ctarge oT the premises , a thought struck him that he might fee ia ei » of the buildings ailed © Yens , tod . bs made

      all speed and bxoko open one of the doors . He then found that hia fears were too well founded , for the watchman was in the interior of the building struggling with the flames , which , were rapidly gaining lound him .. Mt . Cleverley seeing the "very great danger the unfortunate man was in , managed to crawl on his hands and knees into the oven , and after soma pain , succeeded in seizing bold of the watch ' man , and drugged him out of the burning building , when be was found to be so seriously burnt , that no iimo was lost iu removing Wm . to St . Thomas ' s Hospital , where he now lies in a very bad way . We are sorry to say that Mr . CJererley is much , burnt about the hands and knees . Instantly on the outbreak of

      the flames , the inhabitants of several tenements adjoining the premises destroyed , turned out and exerted themselves to the utmost ia suppressing the fire , by throwing buckets of water on it . This , however , they failed in accomplishing , for tbe devouring element still progressed most rapidly , and within a quarter of an hour after the alarm , the range of buildings , 60 feet long , and about 25 in breadth , were enveloped in one common blaze . On the opposite side to the burning property was a large skeleton building , used for drying floor-doth , and whioh was full at the time . At one time it caught fire , and would inevitably have been levelled to the ground , but for the onwearied ^ exertions of the workpeople

      and inhabitants , who , Seeing the very great danger tho building was in , tore down the whole of the cloth , and by continually throwing buckets of water on the timbers and flooring of these premises , preserved them from destruction . On the engines arriving , the only supply of water that could be obtained was from a narrow black ditob , which is made a depositary for the contents of several neighbouring cesspools ; and although the firemen and bystanders suffered the greatest inconvenience from the dreadful stench which it Bent forth , still it had the desired effect of subduing the flames , the engines not only forcing the stagnant water on the fire , but also the filth which completely smothered the ruins .

      By two o ' clock all danger was at an end . The buildings above-named are destroyed , and it is understood that the firm are not insured . There are also several ( five or six ) dwelling-houses much injured by the burning embers and by water , as also by the removal of furniture . While the brigade engines were employed at this fire , several others belonging to the force , and stationed at the west-end of the town were required at another , whioh had broken out at nearly the same hour on the premises of Mr . Cropper , Matter , situate in Higu-Btreet , New Brentford . It originated at the lower part of the building , and at on 9 time it was fully expected that the whole house would have fallen a sacrifice to the flames . However , by the judicious exertions of the

      firemen and police , it wa 9 prevented extending further than the shop . The two adjacent houses were slightly injured . In the course of Sunday morning , the engines of the brigade force in the east end of the metropolis attended at three fires which occurred in that part of London , but which were of no particular importance . At an early hour yesterdny morning a fire occurred on the premises of Mr . Crawcour , tobacconist , situate in Surrey-place , Old Kent-road , and was not subdued before the whole of the building was destroyed . Singular to state , it « us situate immediately opposite to another factory , belonging to Mr . Cleverley , whose premises on Walworth-eommon were partially consumed on Saturday night . It is gratifying to state that no lives were lost in connexion with the above fires .
