      Merry Christmas and a Happy New Tear back ; in short , to bring us back to the good old times . While I Tiave always joined in tie just appeal for the restoration of Frost , "Williams , JoneB , and Ellis , I have never been weak enough to lead you to the hope that they would return untQ you yourselves brought them back . They are there ; and there they'll remain until the Charter brings them back ; or , at all events , until we tret twenty Chartists into the Honse of

      Commons ; and then I do say that with t he power that body would receive from without , your prayersfor their returns must and would be granted . 1 have always found fault with the League for going to work without the necessary tools ; and I tell you now , that if you ar as sincere as I believe yon to be in your desire for 4 he return of Frost , "Williams , Jones , and Ellis , the only possible way that you can achieve that object , is by getting twenty Chartist members into the House of

      Commons , who will sit with the Speaker and rise ¦» ith the House , incessantly dinning their names , together with tie Charter and the Land , into the hig of the nation . ' Let ns then , —and mind , I don't ask you to distinguish 1845 by increased supplies , although heaven knows we want them , and ought to have them toa ; but 1 do ask you , as your enemies are in venting new machinery every day , to set about the manufacture of that machinery , which will produce health , wealth , peace , prosperitv , and

      happiness—THE VOTE . I highly approve of letting your enemies see that , "**»_ good trade and bad trade , you are r , Jargetful . of Hi " - exile ? -: but . 1 wo . nld rather s £ » . . ^ ur minds direct . * sr vp avcotaplishmentof * a ** to effect their restoration * it- _ " ' Tkn 5 wthat nave the unanimous concurrence ol "ui-T ^ " ^ ecjilrre wit h me on this subject , I close the old year by imploring you in each and every locality to devote your whole , your un tiring , your incessant consideration to the registration of Chartist voters during the vear 1 S 45 . What

      a jubilee we shall have—what rejoicing will fill the land , if upon the next struggle we ean secure the return -of fromjtwenty to thirty Duneombeites ! Then indeed may Labour begin to hold up its head ; and then may we proudly point to our band of patriots and say , behold the miniature of that power , the exexisienee of which you have so long denied , but to the omnipotence of which you must now lend a pliant ear , and to whose every demand your answer henceforth , must be , Tea , instead of nay . This is the best Christmas-box that I can offer vou at the close of the

      u-aktng year . I am , your fond and affectionate Friend , And faithful and unpaid Servant , FEAEGrs O'Conxoh

      TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHARTIST ASSOCIATION . Fbxexds , —1 / we have effected no other good since our appointment to office than the allaying those bickerings which were , previously , of frequent occurrence , we have done some good . As we nave set our faces against the system of private letter-writing , formerly so prevalent , and always so pregnant with evil consequences , we beg , in justice to the Chartist body , to ourselves , our correspondent , and Dr . M'l > ouaIL to publish the following , -which , although not written officially to the General Secretary , yet comes from so pure and good a source as leaves no doubt whatever of its accuracy , and as little of the propriety of answering it , without travelling beyond that branch of the subject referred to by our correspondent , who is well known to us all , ami whose name can be furnished to any parties who are anxious to be put in possession of it . Here we beg to insert that part of the letter to which we refer : —

      I would now beg to say a few words on the conversation nt li = d tvith the Doctor ! 1 "win Tje plain . lam indeed Terr sorry to sav he is not the man I expected him to be ; and I am afraid he will damn oar future prospects . I do think the Executive is very much lo blame in recommending a man holding such opinions to the people of Scotland . Be told us frankly he -was not in fevocr of 3 union of the people of Scotland with the people of England ; that their interests were not the same ; that their grievances ¦ were not the same : that their temper , manners , and customs were not the same ; and their agitation could only be conducted by Scotchmen , and that there was no possibility of uniting the two nations upon any subject . We U > ld him j that if those were the views he held , he would not do for the people of Glasgow , nor for the people of

      Scotland generally . lie said those had been the doctrines he izaii preached in all places he bad visited , and the people agreed with them . He then spolte of establishing a newspaper in Scotand , Glasgow to be the centre , and forming a national association for Scotland , maiing . of course , Glasgow the centre : and that he had the offer of monej for establishing the paper , but not quite rno'irii . We saw his views with regard to what the paper might dobut we . totally disagreed with the rest of his views . !!•• then asked how strong the association was in Glasgow , TFe said eight handred . " By God . you are doing well ; there is not a place in Enelantl that has two hundred members , " was the reply . Y ? e then asked how his tour through Scotland would pay him : he said he had only received 12 s . for his lectures in Carlisle , and that it cost

      him £ B from that to Kilmaraock . He had received but little there , aad his expenses in Irrine cost him £ 6 . 1 said there was no use in deceiving him ; and that lie might consider himself a lucky fellow if he went out as rich as he came in , and that 1 believed he would not do more than pay his expenses . He said if that was the case , and as he bad not another sixpence to lose , his best waj was to leave Glasgow for Liverpool , as be would get there for 5 s ., aDd he instructed me to write to Dundee and Aberdeen accordingly . Kow if the Executive knew he held those opinions , as he says they did , they were surely much to blame , in sending a man to undo what they had been paying for being done . I hope I have been looking at the worst side of the picture , and that it may not turn out so bad for us as m fears led me to suppose .

      In reply to the above we have simply to say that the Executive is not chargeable with any act of Dr . M * I > ouaII * s , inasmuch as he was not appointed or even recommended as a lecturer by them , as our correspondent appears to suppose . Dr . Ml > ouall is lecturing exclusively-on his own account ; and , as far as we know , is not lecturing for the Chartist cause . We deny , however , that the Executive was in posses sion " of Dr . M'Douaffs present opinions as stated by him to our correspondent ; and , even if they had , they would have allowed correction to come from the proper source—public opinion . We doubt , however , that the Doctor nas made a just estimate of the character of his countrymen , if he supposes that the way to insure their support is by depreciating their fellowlabourers in England .

      FRANCE . TlTE AcCIPE- VT OS TEE VEBaAIIiES RaHW . 1 T . The accident which happened on the Versailles railroad ( left bank ) , on the 21 st July last , having been made the ground of a prosecution before the Correctional Tribunal of Versailles , it was brought to trial on Wednesdav . The parties accused were M . Petiet , the chief engineer of the railroad ; and Schoor and Dufresne , engineers . The court was extremely crowded on both days ; and on the second day the pressure occasioned so much disturbance , that the President was obliged to call in a picket of gendarmes to restore and keep order . All the persons injured by the accident were present , except the unfortunate conduetenr . Dry , who , on his name being called , was announced to be dead , from the new accident which occurred on the same railroad on Monday last . Another conductenr who had his jaw broken , appeared with his face in bandases , and excited great interest and

      commiseration M . Petiet was charged with not having given sufficient notice of sending off an extra train after eii&t o ' clock at night , it being the fete at Meudon , and from -which neglect the accident arose . Dufresne was accused of having moved "with Ms engine at an excessive degree of speed , and thereby contributed to the disastrous consequences ; and Schoor of having nezleeted to obey in dne time the signals made of there being an obstruction on the road , and continued the rapidity of the motion of the engine till it waatoo late to prevent it from coming m contact with the o + ^ pr train . After hearine the -witnesses , who were

      numerous , the pleadings of M . Eabou , the Procureur dn Roi , in rapport of tie prosecution , and the counsel for the prisoners , the court retired to deliberate upon its iudgment . On its return the President pronounced the acquittal of Dufresne ^ bnt declared M .

      Petiet and Schoor guilty ; imposing upon the first , a fine of lOOf . and twenty days' imprisonment , and upon the second a fine of I 6 f ! and fifteen days' imprisonment . Crime is Pabis . —The Coiiftitvtionnel contains a letter from a M : Paul de L—— , an employe at the prefecture of the Seine , which says : — " On / Wednesday night , about two o'clock , I wM attacked , at the corner of the Rue " 3 e Bretagne by , twp- men , " one ^ of whom seized me by the ci-avat , whieiielTaireri' tight , as if to strangle me , but the violent s £ ab of aVpoinard which 1 gave him in the breast made him let go his hold—he staggered , and fell against the wall . The other then seized me round the body , and would have squeezed me to death had not a noise been heard ,

      which lhave since learned proceeded from a butcher 8 opening his shop . On hearing i t the assailant at once fled . I have lodged a complaint of this attack with the commissary of my quarter . " Poisoning . —The Court of Assizes of the Basses-Alpes , was occupied on the 9 th and 10 th of December witii the trial of a woman nained Audiflret , for poisoning her husband on February 1 st at Card ^ inme . The deceased was a farmer living unhappily with his wife , -who at length took him off t > y poison The proof of the crime turned principally On tne evidence of Pierre Donnaud , the cur 6 oftbe parishY who declared that the deceased had stated to him on the

      evening of his death , with , full details , the mode in which the prisoner had given , him the poison . The witness iad gone t *> administer to the deceased the consolations of religion , and it was shortly afterwards that he thought he should not be performing his duty to society unless he made a declaration of what the deceased had confided to him . After this witness ' s evidence , it was proved by medical men that the body ( when disinterred and tested by Marsh ' s apparatus ) was found to contain a considerable quantity of arsenic . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty , with extenuating circumstances , and the court condemned the prisoner to sixteen years' hard labour and exposure on the pillorv .

      SPAIN . The Sons of Zurbaxo . —A curious tact is mentioned in a letter from Vittoria of the 16 th . Amongst the grounds assigned by the partisans of the Spanish Ministry for the execution-oftue two sons of Zurbano , it was stated that they had addressed letters to various wealthy persons demanding money , and threatening death in the event of a refusal . ' Three innkeepers of the environs of Salvatierra have been arrested on various charges of robbery in the province oi Alava , and it appears , from what has already transpired , that they wore the authors of the letters tearing the forged signatures of the two Zurbanos . This is another strong illustration of the atrocity of executing any man without trial . —Galignani ' * Me . ' - PORTUGAL .

      Tnx Cortes were closed on the 14 th instant by the ^ ueen in person . Mr . Tozer , the British subject who was arrested in April last at Coimbra , on charges of a political nature , was finally tried at Oporto on the 11 th instant , and fully acquitted . HOLLAND . Destbcctive Fire . —Amsterdam , Dec . 19 . —Last night a destructive fire broke out on the premises of Messrs . De Aries , Robbe , and Beeke , extensive blacking and ink makers , on the Rustenburgerpad , in the parish of Nieuwer Amstel , in this city . On account of the inflammable nature of the poods , the flames spread with frightful rapidity . Two of the city engines were soon on the spot , but no water could be procured for a long time , in consequence of the dihk-ulty of breaking through the ice , a hard frost having again set in . All Jiopes of saving the building » ere soon at an end , and the efforts ol the firemen

      wen- directed towards the adjacent bouses , particularly to the residence of the Roman Catholic clergvman , which caught fire more than once . Luckily the wind , whicli during an hour or two had been very high , became gradually subdued , and the further progress of the fire was arrested . Only a small portion of the goods were saved . Another serious loss has befallen , in the same district , a number of poor people , who , during the prevalence of the frost , are in the- habit of bringing quantities of turf over the various canals , ic , in sledges to the city , where they sell them at a small profit . The other night not less than one hundred and fifty sledges were stationed on the ice on the outer Amstel . JThe . weight of these conveyances , which were loaded with , furl ' and other articles for firing , caused the ice ( which was not so strong as it had been during the few preceding days ) to give way , and forty-seven sledges , with their contents , were sunk .

      PRI'SSIA . Execution of Tschech . —A correspondent of the Jounwl de Francfort writes on the 14 th hist , from Berlin : — " To the great surprise of the whole capital there was found this morning posted up at all the corners of the streets an announcement by the criminal tribunal that the ex-burgomaster Tschech , condemned to death for having attempted to assassinate the King , was executed this morning at Spandau . The jud gment , which condemned him to be drawn on a hurdle and broken on the wheel , had been commuted by his majesty's clemency into simple decapitation , iNever , iu modern times , has any execution taken place with so little publicity . Under the present reign , no such executions take place in Berlin ; but for these purposes

      a spot is chosen near the fortress of Spandau which is two miles from the capital . Yesterday afternoon two squadrons of the dragoons of the guard , on duty within the city , received orders tobe ready to turn out at an unusually early hour this morning . One of these squadrons was posted near the Brandenbuvgh-gate , on the high road leading from Charlottcnburg to Spandau ; the other waited behind Charlottenbnrg for the carriages with the criminal , to escort it to the fortress . The Governor of Spanaau did not receive notice of the intended execution till last evening . In a case like . this the concourse of spectators , which on such occasions is always great , would have been immense if previously made known ; but those present this morning were very few . Even the inhabitants of Charlottenburg did not hear of it till after the return of the escort of the delinquent and the officers of

      justice , who filled four carriages . Last night the chaplain of the prison paid his last visit to Tschech , who , as we learn from those who were in constant attendance upon him till the last moment , relied upon being pardoned , and when the warrant was read to him he complained of having been deceived with false hopes . Nevertheless , he ascended with great courage the mound on which he was to receive the fatal stroke . His last thoughts and words were devoted to the memory of Ms wife , who bad been dead several years , and to his only daughter , nineteen years of age , whom he has left behind him . From the time of the arrest of her father , she has been in kind hands . One report is , that she was permitted last night to take leave of her father ; but other accounts state that , up to the present moment , she is kept in ignorance , not only of his execution . ; but even of his condemnatioa . "

      The Journal des DcbaU publishes the following version of the execution , which , it will be seen , differs materially from the above account : —From a private correspondent , dated Berlin , 14 th inst . : — " Last evening the President of the Criminal Chamber of the Tribunal of the First Instance , M . de Kleist , proceeded to the prison in which Tschech was confined , accompanied by the Baron Von Alvensleben , Assessor of the Chamber , and the Pastor Buttman , and announced to him that his execution was fixed for this morning . Tschech listened to the communication with the most perfect coolness , and replied in a low tone of voice , ' Very well ! very well ! ' MM Kliest and Alvensleben then withdrew , and Tschech

      remained alone with the clergyman , who never , quitted him until after the execution . He desired . to see his daughter , which request was complied with . The unfortunate young woman did not wish t" quit her father , but the fatal moment having arrived , Tschech coolly said to her , ' We shall see each other again Bertha . " ' AtJbur o ' clock this morning Tschech was conducted by a detachment of infantry and gendarmes to the fortress of Spandau . During the journey he tranquilly smoked his cigar . The execution took place before daylight , at half-past seven o'clock , in presence of a few hundred persons only . Tschech mounted the scaffold with firmness . lie undressed himself , and would not suffer the executioner ' s assistants to touch him . He then laid his head on the block . " SWITZERLAND . The Consdtuiionnelhaa the followingremarksonthe present state of affairs in Switzerland : — "The accounts we receive from Switzerland confirm us more and more in the opinion thai the events which are transpiring at Lucerne are out the prelude of a crisis which will , perhaps , pl . ice the actual constitution of Switzerland in danger . In spite of their sanguinary triumph , the partisans of the Jesuits are far from beine assured . The Government of Lucerne

      appear to be fearful of the effect that a victory purchased sa dearly , and in such a cause , cannot fail to produce throughout all Switzerland . There is no canton but may fear to see scenes enacted within it similar to those of Lucerne and the Valais . "R 5 e have , however , good hope . The attitude assumed by a part of the population , and even by the Gath « lic clergy of Lucerne , proves that it is not a question as between Catholics and Protestants , but a question of liberty , which will rally round it every independent and enlightened mind .

      i , MOROCCO . tjiBRALTAB , Dec . 14 . —Events in Morocco are r ^ ioiy progressing towards a crisis , and perhaps ere n * that country is the scene of all the horrors of a cm yrsx . The people of the province of Angora W * $ short time since , materially injured or effaced son * of the land-marks of the lines of Ceuta , placed there , beiore the ratification of the treaty between Morocoi an * Spain . For the purpose of preventing the eontinua , ~ such practices , and of reinstating in authonty the Sh . ik Kanjaa , the Lieutenant Governor of J&ngier sent Re Raid with 100 cavalry into the distru : These troops having been found inadequate to restre tranquillity , have been obliged to retireand

      , tne ieople declare that they will neither recognise the Waa for Sheik nor accept as governor Cid-Booselbin-Ben-Aly , whom the Emperor had appointed over tl ^ t province . Many of the neighbouring tribes hae also declared their intention of making common c use with the revolters ; and in the province of Riffe . vhich immediately joins Angera ( where the tribes almost warlike and independent ) , it is now almost ceiihi that Abd-el-Kader has found an asylum , and thatW is at present there , instigating by the great izifluencthe possesses—an influence even paramount to the Emteror ' s—these disaffected tribes to break out into opti rebellion . We fear that we must shortly look for erents of a most stirring nature in that country .

      i COISICA . Ajaccio , Dec . It—his with-regret that I inform you that crimes of the n ^ st horrible nature are daily increasing in the island , tnd that unless the government adopt , and that spedily , strong and . efficacious measures , all the peacealie inhabitants will be compelled to emigrate to foreijn countries . The following singular affair has created s > much sensation :-A person named Frangois Bastianee , attached to the Bureau de Sante , only thirty yearsof age , was accused with —first , setting fire to the louse of his uncle and destroying all his property ; stcondly , with endeavouring to murder Jus uncle by fang at him on the higji road ; thirdly , witii having assassinated his cousin and his mistress ; and , lasiy , with attempting to murder the gensdarme sent to arrest him . Notwithstanding all the efforts tt arrest him , Bastianese

      succeeded , not only 5 n escaping to Sardinia , but carrying with liim . a large aim of money . The French authorities ^ enraged it the escape of the bandit , used every effort to get hold of him , and having learnt from one of theii spies that the murderer , on a given day , intended visiting Leghorn , application was made to the Sardinian police lo arrest him . Bastiancse , informed of the danger he ran , had the courage to quit Sardinia , on board the steamer Gulnari , and returned to Ajaccio with a false passport . B y some means or other our authorities soon learnt that the culprit was in Corsica , and a formal application was made to the captain of the Gulnari to deliver him up . The captain at first refused , and only consented on being threatened to fire on him from the citadel . The murderer is now safely lodged in prison , and will shortly be brought to trial .

      TURKEY . Constantinople . Dec . 4 . —The reDprted r arrival ofUr . Wolff , at Teneransas confirmed . Her Majesty ^ steamer Devastation , with Sir Stratford Canning , returned to this city on the 28 th ult ., having been kept back by foul winds and very severe weather . The difference between the British embassy and the Porte , on the subject of events of recent occurrence at Trcbisonde , have not yet been brought to a close . The 1 'orte has still to receive from Abdullah Pacha explanations , without which the matter cannot be discussed on a fair footing .

      WEST INDIES . Southampton , Dec 22 . —The Thames , Royal Mail steam-ship , Lieut . P . Hast , R . N ., commander , arrived this day , at ten o ' clock a . m ., bringing the usual mails . The Thames encountered very strong head winds nearly the whole of the voyage , particularly at the entrance of the Channel . There were but very Jew vessels beating about in the chops of the Channel . The whole of the West India Islands were generally in a very healthy state . The Governors of the Trinidad and the Windward Islands were about to proceed to Jamaica , to consult with Lord Elgin on the expediency of forming a penal settlement for the

      \> est India icoloiiies . Inert ? is every prospect pi good crops throughout the islands generally . The weather has not been so propitious for many years . The House of Assembly was sitting at Jamaica , but no particular business was being transacted . A bill had been introduced to ' prevent trespass on properties , which was read a third time , and ordered to be engrossed . And another , for the summary punishment of petty larcenies , had gone into cdninultee and passed . The Lazaretto Bill , for the establishment of a lazaretto for the islands , had also been introduced , and , after some little discussion as to-whether it should be a floating one or not , it was ultimately passed on the understanding that it should be on shore .

      UNITED STATES . The Laboux Movement . — -Mike Walsh ' s Speech at the Boston Working-men's Convention . —In a late number of this paper there appeared a copy of the address agreed to by the New England Delegates in Convention assembled . It was at one of the sittings of that body that the following speech was delivered : —Mr . President , and fellow working-men—To a man who feels for the misery and oppression of his suffering fellow beings , the present scene is peculiarly gratifying and cheering—it is worthy of the great and glorious scenes which in times that tried men's souls , transpired within these sacred walls . What a glorious sight is here exhibited ! Thousands of the honest care-worn sons of toil , who , until very

      recently , seemed to feel and act as though they had no rights beyond that of barking like dogs for their masters , now assemble in the majesty and dignity of human nature for the worthy , noble , and sublime purpose of devising some efficient means , by which they may be freed from the oppressive and degrading tyranny of capital—the ingenious but humiliating and debasing-slavery of wages ! ( Loud cheers . ) When we take into consideration the unparalleled excitement which is now so universal throughout the whole length and breadth of our country—when we look at the stupendous efforts which are making by the selfish and corrupt hordes of mercenary knaves in both parties , with the base and contemptible view of aggrandizing themselves , at the sacrifice of our

      best interests—when we reflect upon the countless sums which they are pouring out like water—tbc one party to obtain , and the other to retain , the spoils and fat offices , which offer such a powerful incentive to their patriotic and disinterested exertions , we certainly cannot but regard the vast concourse of nrave and determined spirits here congregated to assert the great truth- ^ that henceforth men are , and must be , free and equal in something more tangible than name , as the dawn of a great and regenerating revolution , which is destined , ' if vigorously followed up , to redeem and elevate the industrious producer from the oil ious and oppressive tyranny of capital . ( Cheers . ) How is it that in a country like ours , where every man's vote counts one—^ wherc the poor labourer has the same voice in making the laws by which he is governed as . the rich and lazy nabob who is ' realizing a fortune from the toil of the working-classes , —government should almost invariably be converted into an

      engine of oppression against them ? * How does it come that legislators , who are indebted solely to our exertions for their unmerited elevation to stations which they disgrace , so frequently use the influenceof their positions as an engine of oppression against us ? It is because we are not true to ourselves . ( Cheers . ) Some of the gentlemen who preceded me stated that the sole cause of degradation and oppression of the working-men , was their entire ignorance of their own true interest . What- a shallow fallacy—what a fatal error ! The ^ presentdepressed and deplorable condition of the producing classes is the result of their own heartless selfishness . ( Sensation . ) If you have twenty or thirty offices at your disposal , and promise each of them to a hundred different individual , you can obtain -the vigilant co-oporation of two or three thousand working-men ( although there are a hundred chancesto one against each of them ) and that much sooner than if the object proposed to them were the regeneration of the world . And whv

      is this < h it the fault of the men altogether ? No . It is owing as much to the state of { society in which they are cast , as it is to their organisation . When a man ' s necessities are immediate , pressing and pinching , he requires an immediatereward for hieservices ( Cheers . ) Few , indeed , are the men who can maintain their , independence , or resist the fascinating influences of a bribe , when they go home , if home they have , to look upon the haggard countenance of a beloved and starving wife , and hearj the piteous cries of their half famished offspring for that bread which thev are unable to honestly and honourably obtain . This is the reason it has always been so difficult to combine working-men upon any measure , however certain its ultimate benefits might be , which

      threatened to consume any length of time in accomplishing . We have always been the tools with which every other class have worked out their own selfish ends . " Every revolution which has taken place ) throughout the earth , lias been effected through our , services and sacrifices , and yet we have been totally excluded from the benefits of each change . Is it not , then , high time that we should commence a | practical revolution upon our own account ? Is it not an imperative duty which we owe ourselves , our families , ami our fellow men , to come up boldly to the work , and endeavour to extricate ourselves from the oppressive and exorbitant extortions of capital ? Look at the overwhelming increase of machinery 1 See tile fearful , frightful rapidity . withiwMch-ii -i » -mipOTseding human labour ! Look at the very ingenuity of

      the poor man converted bv the rich capitalist into a powerful means of starvation against , his unfortunate associates . Thousands of labour-saying machines are almost yearly invented to choke the poor man from his employment , but not one has ever yet been dey ised to put bread in his mouth . ( Tremendous cheering . ) If every man had Ms sharejof the soil , there could be no such thing as over-production in any branch of human industry . Machinery , which isnow made one of the greatest evils with which we are eiij-sed , would then be our greatest blessing . Instead of bringing misery and hunger to oiir unemployed labourers and mechanics as now , it ] would bring ease , comfort , and leisure for intellectual improvement . The policy of the idle , plundering drones , who fatten on sweat and blood , and who wrindfortunes from our

      sighs , sufferings , and premature death , has long been to increase the hours of labour to such a shameful and barbarous extent , as to compel usjto take from our factories , alias slaughter-houses , to our beds . This prevents us from impudently prying : into public affairs , and also makes quiet ana orderly citizens of us . fCheers . ) But they allege that ] we ought to be happier than they are—and why ? 1- Because we sleep sound , and they might very truly add—wake remarkably stiff in the morning . ( Loudlaughter and cheers . ) Much as these chaps love sound sleep , I never knew one of them who woUla carry" ahod full of mortar all day to enjoy the pleasing recreation even jfor a single night . ( Laughter and applause . ) As an offset to our

      ceaseless and ancompensatcd toil , these j fellows talk about the care and anxiety which they experience in thinking about their notes and payments . They would find some difference , I apprehend " , between the anxiety of paying a note or two out of a portion of their surplus funds , and the solicitude which the poor man not unfrequently experiences in regard to the source from which he may obtain his next ; meal . And as to their banks , there is not a man in this Convention who would nf-t gladlv take all there are in Boston—I'll take h « lf myself * . ( Laughter . ) " Show me the man , " exriaima one of those gentry , " whose hammer can l > o heard from the first croiv of the cock in

      the morning until twelve at night , and 111 show you a man who'll get along . " Now this is all very nice from a fellow who never handled a hammer in his life , and who could not ! be beat with a club to a single hard day's work . ( Laughter and . applause . ) I can grant that a man who will slave himself to death—who will work four or five hours more than the regular time , each dav , and can get enough to keep him going steady , may by this beggarly means advance his own individual pecuniary interest , so long as he forms an exception to ; the general rale but let every man follow his example , and lie will get less for his sixteen hours labour than lie previously received for four . Labour is a commodity ; and its value is reculated like that of am * other , bv the

      demand which the market affords . ] Wc have now commenced a great and glorious movement iu behalf of guttering fiumanity , and for God ' s sake beware how you suffer it to be desecrated and i prostituted by dcsigning'dishonest demagogues and political vultures , who are solely . actuated in joining any body of men by the selfish and despicable desire of aggi-andizinp themselves by its pollution and destruction . ( Cheers . ) Have nothing to do with them . They will praise ami irlorif ' v you with honied phrases before election , and look down upon you with as much affected contempt as though you were dogs Rafter it '? once over . ; They will call you the bone and sinew , ahd will work you ov their contracts until the light oT a candle can bi seen through your starved and collapsed carcasses .

      These craven dogs always wait till after men have brought a movement or princi p le into popularity in defiance of their opposition , befbr

      1 his I shall now do ; and the measure which I am about to submit to this Convention immeasurably transcends in all-engrossing importance any measure which has ever been agitated in the social ov political world . I propose to give every man , who is willing to work , a sufficient portion of ; the vast domain , known as the " public lands , " to / sustain himself and family in comfort and independence . These lands are held in trust hy the general Groverament for us ; and unless the shameless speculation , and peculation , too , by which they are fast falling into the hands of ' unprincipled and unfeeling capitalists , be speedily checked , and all further traffic in them prevented , we shall be deprived for ever of ' : the only means by which the producing classes can jiow be saved from lasting rum and irreclaimable [ debasement . Yes : some immediate action must be taken to make the public lands free to actual settlers . This , and this only , will prevent the working classes of this country

      from becoming aa servile , as abjejet . as degraded , and as helpless in their condition as the serfs of Europe , ( Great applause . ) After enlarging considerably upon the land question , he advocated as an immediate measure a uniform reduction of ; the hours of labour throughout the whole Union , anfl closed amidst the most deafening applause . I Infamous Tyranny in RnoDBJ Island . —TnE PersECUTEn Dobii . —The infamous bppressors of Rhode Island deny to Mr . Dorr even the aid of counsel ! It ia well known that they interdict his friends from seeing him , although in the presence of others ; that they do not permit him to read jthe letters or newspapers addressed to him ; but one could hardly have imagined that they would cany their tyranny to such an extent as to forbid him the means of a further trial . He wishes to test the 'decision jagainst ^ him in the higher courts ; but his counsel are denied access to him . Here is their own statement : ¦ —

      The undersigned ( and also thejlate Hon . Samuel Y . Attt-eH , recently deceased ) have acted throughout as counsel for Mr . Dorr , and at his special request and retainer , and have stood to him in the relation of confidential advisers nnd friends up to the period of his commitment to the State prison , at the door of wtiich one of the undersigned took leave of him on the 27 th of June last . Since that time we have used every exertion to obtain from the inspectors and from the Legislature admission to consult with him respecting the further trial of his case in a higher court , but in vain . We have been denied our privilege and his right of consultation . We know not his final views . We have no instruction whether to proceed

      further or not , or what additional counsel he would desire us to employ . The responsibility of this refusal of his just right to proceed to a higher tribunal , rests not with us , but with those who . have seen 6 t to debar the prisoner from communication with hie counsel ; Jin which capacity we still stand and intend to remain with unabated devotion , until we have information from our client that our services are dispensed with ; and we take this opportunity of saying to the friends of Mr . Dorr , in or out of the State , that any attempt to take his case but of our hands , by whomsoever made , and of whatever political party they may be ( either as employers or counsel ) , or by whatever motives actuated , is wholly unauthorised by Mr . Dorr .

      We stand ready to do for Mr . Dorr , both as counsel and friends , all that we know he desires us to do , and all that we can do , faithfully to the last , j Of one thing we are certain , from our conversation with our client before his imprisonment , that he has never asked the aid , in the management of his case , of any onej who is not found unequirocaHr acting in the Democratic ranks of the state or country ; to whose principles and ] rights our client has devoted himself without reservation of anything which the world holds valuable .

Withithe >* Poles were gathered together exiles from halt' of ; the countries of Europe ; toe'dark Spaniard , thei ^ liaii Carbonaro , and the fair-haired . Dane and German , among whom was one whose riariie , illustrious in Europe , is always honoured here ; we refer to JIam > Ilaring , the patriot , the poet , and ; unfortunately , the exile . After the officers and ; managers . of this commemoration had taken their places upon Shtrpiat ^ . oiTii , one * of the wild , half-oriental marches ,, by Polish valour made so glorious , was played by theorchestra , which _ was cohoeaied . byjfteujrapery of the ) anners . of which we have alreadv snoken . At

      the termination of this music , a letter waaread froni the Hon . Albert Gallatin , excusinghimself on account - of his age and the inclemency of the we $ ther , from presiding over ^ the meeting . The letter , ^ a ^ Teadby , flifiod . Sedgwiek , who * addressedithe audience , ipeak * - ! ing of the fact that this country was now ' the pnjly refuge of those whose country had contributed her quota of blood to the establishment of our own independence . While touching upon this subject ., reference was made to the recent"developmenSfn relation , to tlie English post-office , brought about by the Its&jii , ! exile Mazzini , who had suffered under its espionage ,. , . Mr . Sedgwiek having concluded , introduced to tnemeeting Mr . KaJttssowski , who spoke for a short--time in his native Sclavonic . Of this . address '

      we can but say that it was most enthusiastically received by the audience . An address was next made by Mr . Stalknecht , as the representative of the " : Scandinavian Society * in this city * assuring the ; Poles of their deep sv-mpathy with theni . and describing the feeling awakened in-Scandinavia by .. thenewai _ that the pqiear . were . mifimsY ' 'JTUs aaare ^ srtteHyereifl ^ in perfectly classical Engiish , without the slightest accent , was received With great applause . —Mr . Forresti , then , on behalf af the ^ Italians , addressed the audience in his own riish Tuscan - He spoke of the solemnity which had brought them together , and of the glorious nature of their strife , and of th ^ . pride they should feel , even though it was unsuccessful ; in which , to quote his own words , " aunehe cadesti ,

      cadesti , grandi . " Mr . Forresti denounced , as only an Italian can , the cruelty of the Russian Government , and made a fervent appeal in behalf of the glorious names which had shone in the late revolution ; to denounce the Autocrat did not suffice for Mr . Forresti , but-bitter and scornful were his denunciations of the panegyrists of Nicholas . lie concluded with an assurance that , deep as were the sufferings of the Italian exiles , there was not one who did not feel his bosom glow with sympathy for the sufferings of those who were more oppressed than themselves . — Dr . Wierzbirevi then addressed the audience in English , and , spoke of the past glories of Poland , and the debt due to hep from Christianity and universal

      civilization , of which , for centuries , they had been the bulwarks—and the untiring foe of the Tartar and the Turk . —Harro Hating next addressed the audience , we regret to say , in a foreign tongue , which we are unable to render adequately . As far as we could form an opinion of words spoken in a tongue with the pronunciation of which we are not familiar , he read an original poetical address , which , at least , he seemed to feel , and which ended with an appeal to Scandinavia , the author's fatherland . Mr . Haring having concluded , a Polish national air was sung . —Dr . 1-Iowe of Boston next addressed the meeting , and described the enthusiasm excited in America by the news of the Polish Revolution fourteen years ago , and of t . h « various modes of assistance which were

      contrived ; and of the funds raised and the coloui-s sent from Boston to that country ; which were confided to La Fayette , and in the disbursement of which Dr . i 1 owe had been joined . On the arrival of these funds , the Revolution had failed ; the Poles hnd laid down their anus , except those who had taken refuge in Prussia . It was determined , as these men were in great distress , to distribute the funds among them ; to accomplish which Dr . Howe visited their encampment in Prussia , and contrived to accomplish I is purpose . The officers had been separated from this body <> i men , that , unassisted by their council , they might 1 ><> forced to return into the dominions of Russia . Dr . Howe had , from the concert among themr become satisfied some one mind regulated their movements ; and at length discovered this to be the case . He waa shewn into a squalid room where an officer lay ill , wliosc attention he long attempted in vain to arouse , and not until after repeated efforts did he succeed

      when , raising from his bed with the frame of a giant ,, and in the most energetic manner , he assured him that he had been all the while feigning illness , though " n perfect health , for thepurpose of keeping together those 4000 men . For this affair , and for his activity in assistiug pth _ er Poles , Dr . H . was the inmate of a Prussian prison .-r-Mr . Gerard w ? s next introduced to the meeting , and addressed them in a speech of some twenty minutes duration , as the representative of France . His address , however , was but d refrain of i-Uosp which preceded it , from which it differed only in its higher degree of excitement and fervour . Various other addresses were made , and a series of resolutions proposed and adopted , when the assemblage was dismissed . On the whole it was a most interesting affair , and the Poles in our city may be assured they are not friendless , and that the burst of feeling which was elicited in 1830 will again be called forth ; it the proper time and occasion .

"We find -mrti *> ii _ ncrr improved for manufaeiurrnj : tools to be worked by steam ; and -vreiind mere youths directing this new machinery with an almost incredible exactitude Here , then , " a new channel , " as the political eeono- ' mists would sav , was open to labour , and in a direction which , if their calculations were true , must necessarily lead to such a eompetiiion for the labour til * mechanics as would make them masters of their of

      0 ^ 71 labour market . ^ Machinery was all others a commodiry , in procuring which the foreigner would be lavish and extravagant . The first cost of a piece of good machinery is to the manufacturer just what the prime cost of a good cow is to the dairyman , or a Srst-rate hunter to the sportsman . In fact it is matter of comparative irtSEuiScance ; and I venture te assert that a firee rrs . de in machinery , had not machinery been made "b y machinery , would have raised the rate of mechanics waires to a fancy price . and justly . The Talne of sjrrr ? hinir .

In such traffic , indeed , we have a perfect illustration of the reciprocal advantages of " buying in the cheai > est and selling in the dearest martet , * * We 2 nd then that this new channel beins opened , has led , in many cases , to the substitution of the labour of one youth for that of twenty men , and to the employment of apprentices instead of journeymen , for -whose trade and education a larsre premium had been paid .

I take mechanics , because they are perhaps the best instructed trade ; while as a body , they are beyond all . comparison the most self-relying , self-confident , and self-sufficient : in fact the proudest , the most intolerant , and the ^ err worst politwians . J 5 iseak of them as a bodv : &f course there are some

      i-C'E&nrable exceptions ; but being a rerj importani body , and holding a great sway among trades , and the co-operation ' of the trades being almost indispensable to the success of democratic principle . 1 have selecfed that trade to establish , the fact that a very great dirncuity existed in cringing the mind of the working classes to bear upon the landed question . I have ever pursued the very same course with respect to social improvement that I have pursued as regards political improvement . I have not vexed my mind , or troubled your thoughts with farmer's quetaW ; such as fcdty of tenure , compensation for

      outlay , or as to whether landlords or tenants—in many cases , the tenants more independent than the landlords—shall make the required improvements . I have not contended for feeding the labourer upon pheasant ? , partridges , qnafls , and hares , in preference to beef , and mutton , and pork , and bread , and butter , and eheese , and TnflV , and vegetables of his own growth and protection . My consideration has been , as to the best means of procuring the land , according to the excellent principle laid down in the cookery books : frtt catch your hare , and then dress ii 2 * yon like . So I say of tie land : first get ^ the land , asd then cultivate it as you like .

Two

      seamen were washed overboard from the St . Lawvence , and were drowned . A Belgian emigrant-ship waa lost on the night of the ' oth of the same month , on a heap of sunken rocks near Cape Three Point . She was from Antwerp , bound to St . Thomas ' s in the Gulf of Adeluce , and had upwards of 200 persons on board , all of whom were saved . The other heavy losses , that of the Prince George , the Cyrus , and the Cruikston Castle , all happened near the same spot as that precedingly described . Part of the crew of the Prince George were saved , but the mate and two seamen were drowned . That of the Oyrus occurred during a snow-storm off Port Neuf . The crew suffered dreadful privations . They remained lashed to the rigging of the shid two days and nights before beingr rescued by another vessel . The mate perished by being washed overboard , and two of the men were drowned in the forecastle . The Cruikston Castle was lost off New Carlisle .

      Yocgbal , Dec . 14 . —About six on Friday evening , a schooner came ashore on Clay Castle beach ; the crew remained by her , and were all saved at the ebbing of the tide . The captain's wife was on board , and was , got ashore in a great state of exhaustion . The ship proved to be the Joseph and Fanny , of Newport , Capt . Lobbat , bound foFNewport from Cork , with a general cargo of provisions . They left Cove last Tuesday , carried away some of their sails that night , and had been since then lying-to , and unable to partake of any food or refreshment . Saturday morning at daybreak , the hull of a vessel "Was descried from the shore riding at anchor outside the bar , a complete week , without « i mast standing , and

      a signal of distress flying from a jury-mast . The sea on the bar was so tremendously heavy , it was feared no attempt cbnld be made to reach her . Two fishingrboats were , however , manned , and with considerable risk succeeded in clearing the harbour , but were unable to reach her after several attempts , till at last the master of one of the boatfc , Richard M ' -Daniel , in the most gallant and herojc manner , and at the imminent risk of his Hfe , sprang out of his own boat , and succeeded in getting on board ; a cable was then attached , her anchors slipped , and the vessel was towed into the harbour witfi ereat difficulty in safety .
