      induces , the latter was Bom ^ Lat eniargea , ana loaded with a considerable qaanMtr of fat ^ Mr . Cu-lile ' s case ib an instructive one to the physi-Et aJa ^ S ^ v ™^*^ S 0 U rce of ^^ fication to his fnends that , by his bequest , an item haa been adfled to the treasury of usefnl knowl-dge . The above particnlars -were iindly fumiahea to onr repor ter hy Dr . Thomas Williams , of St Thomas ' s Hospital .

      FTOTERAI , OP RICHARD CARLILE . ( Written expressly for the Star J ^ The above ceremony teofe place on Sunday afternoon , SS" *^ G « en Cemetery , where , in acco . dance with the request o ! Mr . Carlile when living , the hurial ser-TJca , or » priestly ceremony , " was to have been wholly dispensed with ; but , in this expectatien , the friends of the deceased were disappointed , as the sequel will -Shew . The Procession having been announced to start from the house of the departed at two o ' clock , a number of respectable gentlemen had , agreeable to the annoatrcemeut , congragated together , in Bonveriestreet , and also in Fleet-street , near the entrance of that thoronshfcre , at the appointed honr , among whom Watson

      Mr . , the publisher , ( late of City-road ) and other Liberals of long standing , were distinguished . The hearse and mourning coaches ( five in nnmb-t ) did not , however , arrive at the house until about three o ' clock : In five minutes after , the corpse was brought out and pnt into the hearse ; and in about ten or twelve minutes after the " arrival of the vehicles , the procession started for the place of sepulchre . The route it took was . throughFleetrStreet , Temple-bar , Strand , Chsrinrcross , Cockspur-Etreet , Pall-mall , Waterloo-place , the Quadrant , Begent-street , and Oxford-street ; then along the Edgeware-road , { via Tyburn-gate site ) , Harrow-road and thence to Willesden , where the Cemetery is situate ! The mourning coaches which accompanied the hearse ¦ were fiHed with the male friends of Mr . Carli e . In the one attached to the bears 9 were his three sona ; on the right sat Richard Carlile ( the eldest ); on the

      left , Alfred ithe middle bod ) ; and , in the rear , sat the youngest son , Thomas Paine Carlile , beside of whom , aad in whose care , was a respectable-looking male chad , apparently about eight or i ine years old . Among the mourners were , Mr . B . D . Consins , the Radical printer and publisher , of Dnke-street , Lincoln ' s Innfields , and Mr . Allen Davenport , tbe veteran writer and bardr who has been so many years known in the ranks of Republicanism ; and it is a pleasing fact to record , that notwithstanding the unfavourable st % le of the weather , about two hundred persons ( males ) , admirers of the deceased , accompanied the procession on foot the whole distance from Bouverie-street to Kensal Oreen , a distance of little , if any thing , short of six miles . Every one of the followers was decently attired , and some were strikingly remarkable for their gentle manlike exterior .

      THE InterheNT did not take place till about a qnjrter to five o ' clock , a few minutes after the arrival of the cortege at its destination . The ct-ffln having been lowered into tbe grave prepared for its reception , the bye-standera commenced looking anxiously around them , expecting the arrival of some gentlemen who , they conjectured , might tave been engaged on tbe occasion to speak Mr . Carine * funeral oration , as was dons a few years ago , at tbe funerftls of Thomas Hardy and John -Gale Jones , at BunhiD Fields , especially as they were inwardly persuaded , and had 6 Vin heard , that the deceased had constantly reiterated it as his desire , that at his burial , " no priesliy ceremony" should be observed , if it could be possibly superseded . In this

      expectation they were , however , disappointed ; and were morever informed , that the corpse would not be allowed to be covered over until the rite to which they objected had been gone throngh . whereat great disaatisf ^ ction was evinced hy all present . The multitude assembled were kept waiting round the grave for about a quarter of an hour , without anything being done , in constguence of the clergyman , ( the B = v . J ^ siab Twigger ) beiDg professionaliy engaged with several other funerals which had preceded Mr . CarlUe ' a in arrival-Shortly after 7 the surpliced pastor arrived at the foot o ! Mi . Cs grave , with an open ¥ ook ithe Psalter ) from which he was ab « ut to proceed to read the burial service , when a scene not very customary at a funeral . en--u : t ! :

      Mi . Alfred Catlile , on tbe part of his father and his surviving family , stepped forward towards the minister , and ¦ firmly objected to the performance of the rite in qufstion —( hear , hear ) . The Rev . Gantienian replied , I mast perform my du'y . " Air . Carlile , jun . observed , - ' Sir , we proUst against the performance of this ceremony . Oar late father lived and died iu opposition to priestcrafl of every description ; ana we , thertf jre , protest in his name against vhe service being read "—ihtar hear , and good , good ) The minister here observed that , he ceuld no . help the aversion on tbe part of the deceased and his family ; acd intimated the ground whereupon they stood being consecrated , the performance of his accustomed duty was imperative—addinz ,

      thai if they tad given previous notice of this their objection , the / misht have had their father interred in " tbe tfher ground" alluding to some spot contiguous , nut conaecraied , and , consequently , leas holy ! Another son of the decrased here remarked , This , Sir , is our ground : we have purchased it for our family ; and we do not require tbe service to be read—it ia a mockery !" The Pistor then replied , It was a mockery then , Sj , to bring him here . " The third son now stepped i \ xward and . said , •* Then , Sir , since the service is to be performed , we "will have oar -way lhas £ u— -we "will retire , and not listen to it" { ' Htar , bear , " and a loud burst of applause from all sides of the grave ! j The B * V . Gentleman here remarked , -witb great sauvity of

      manner , " That , of eoarae , gentlemen , is as you p ' ease —I have no wish to interfere with your determination upon that point ; bnt you must bear in mind , Gentlemen , the consequences of any determined opposition to my sacred dnty . " Tbe Messrs Cariile and the mourners , one and all , then left the grave with contempt 1 Tha clergyman then commenced : " A man that is born of a woman hath , bnt a short time to live . He cometh up , and" At this moment , a voice at the bead of the grave txclaimed , 1 move that all Mr . Carlile ' s friends immediately leave court . '' ( Hear , hetr . ) Some others rejoined , "Yes , let us fellow the example just now set us , and not stay here to pay complaisance to this mummery . " ( Hear , hear , with lend applause . ) This suggestion was simultaneously acted upon ; and , in less than one minute , the minister was left to read the funeral service ( which he recommenced ; to only the sextan and one or two isolated individuals who were

      standing on the clayey mound that had been raised by the * pade of tbe grave-digger . ' The ceremony over , one of the deceased ' s sobs addressed the spectators to the effect that the' rite that had just then been performed over his late father was without their concurrencethat he , in conjunction with his brothers , had doije all in his power , to prevent it ; but their efforts had been fruitless . For their own part , they disclaimed it , in act and deed . He then thanked him , as friends , for their prompt attendance on the occasion ; and , thus concluding , bade them a social farewell The Rev . Gentleman displayed no bigotry on the occasion ; and I consider that he was officially consistent with order when . we look at it in a business-point of viewleaving religion out of the case . The coffin of tbe departed was topped by a laige brass plate , I should say , about fourteen inches square , bearing the following inscription , engraved in bold Roman characters : —

      " RICHARD CARLILE , Bobs Sth December , 1790 , Died 10 ft February , 1843 1 hive learned this morning , from respectable authority ( Mr . Cousins ) that Mr . Watson bad asserted to some friends at the burial ground , that if he had been appealed to ( and thst sufficiently early ) he would have been prepared himself to deliver an oration over Mr . CarlJle ' s remains ; and that Mr . AUe » Divenp > u , as it iroj , would fain have obliged th « company present in that way , but for the apprehension he was under of having to walk to town , as the performance might cause him to lose bis conveyance—for the coacaes were

      in a hnrry to proceed , after the mourr . ers had left the jfrave to the clergyman and sexton . The Times of this morning—with its accustomed predilection for hyperbole asserts that during the burial service , the pastor w ^ s interrupted by xibsld jas-. B . " Now , I can vouch for the litter fallacy of this statement . Tbere were no prisons present of a charsctf * at all likely to indulge in ribaldry . The Times west look for that in its own circle—the aristocracy—who patroaiZ 9 the gambling table , the turf , and the prize ring ; and not the society of the intelligent and moral admirers of liberty and freB diseassiou , who by-the-bye , have ceither time nor money—like their patrician enemies—io sacrifice at the shrine of voluptuousness and " ribaldry . ''

      Tfcere were , to be sure , two gentlemen standing at a little distance from the grave's kead , who , "by their smiles , indicated their utter disregard for the ceremony unt ' er performance ; hat no " interruption" ol the same -B-2 S attempted . One of them , when the clergyman cams to that part of ths service relating to a " swe and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life , " certainly remarked , to his friend , ( bnt ia a toae to be fc&ird by no other person than myself , -s ko happened to be near to themj , thit he did not consider ticre was or eouid be any surely or certainty upon thB subject , It -Mr . Editor , your readers , to whose reason and jad i * meitt I appeal in the matter at issue , should decide ti ? at the above noiseless utterance of sentiment on the pc « i < & one pereon to another , was tantamount to " riU'ald jetting , " the * £ ending parties must certainly pletxi guilty to the charge ; and I myself will not go out oi * crime to

Having thus minutely detailed th « particulars of Mr . GarlUe's funeral , by a more cartful , and cons ^ quaatly more accurate account than wiil , I apprehend , be given in any oUier journal than Oiit , I will now , with the readei ' a permission , revert to a scene in The D 1 S 5 ECHSG BOOK at St Thomas ' s Hospital , in the borough of Southward , whers the body of the deceased ¦ was retained , for-the benefit of anatomical science , txacily & fortnight .

      of material mutilation . My visit to the above place was performed on Monday last , the ' : 28 th inst ., pursuant to acomplimfentary privilege granted to me on the occasion , by Mr . Alfred Carlile ; and upon this respectful recommendation , I was courteously received by Dr . Whitfield . whom I met withaut knowing him . urtti ! he acknowledged himself as the owner of the name 1 inquired for , at the door of the counting house , in the first area of the building . Having there told him the purport of my visit , he said I was pwrfestly welcome to the indulgence I so eagerly sought for ; but he would remind me that the body of the deceased had been there eight days , and was therefore , by tbattime , so much mutilated as not to admit of a recognition of any of his features , even by hisnearetf friends ! but , never

      iheless , if my curiosity was intent upon seeing the identical remains of Mr . Carlile , he would , on the recommendation of his son , most cheerfully oblige me . We then proceeded together across the next area ; and having arrived at a large avenue , on the left of which was the entrance to the dissecting room , the gentleman resumtd , " Here is the place wherein he is lying : but , before I open door , I would adviBe you , if you have never before witnesued the interior of such a place , to forego your intention . Don ' t , for a moment , mistake my meaning : I Bhall think it no trouble to oblige you . I am only paying respe « t to your feelings as a stranger to such a place . I will admii you , with the greatest of pleasure , if you think it will not be unpleasant to your

      sight . ^ I replied that , I felt inwardly persuaded that I should noi , be unnerved . The door was then opened , and myBelf polite . y ushered into the room by my distinguiahed escort . The first thing that met my eyes was , the body of a child lying on its back with its face excoriated , and its feet nea * to the wall on the right ; and a little farther on , nearly opposite , the body of a ful ! grown person lying on its belty with the left leg off : while , to the ltft , as one eDters the door , lay the hacked remains of Mr . Carlile , with his head near to the walL I confess the eight was More unpleasant to my ejes than I anticipated ; but I will , nevertheless , sum up the resoiutiun to give a description of what I saw as correcUy as my memorj will permit

      The face of the cor » e was literally flayed ; and a student , acting under the surveillance of Dr . WhitSeld , was chipping away small pieces of fl < 3 sh near the ear f which was also either flayed , at entirely of—for , in the confusion , I really for ot which ) with a lance , for the purpose , I conjectured , © f arriving at certain veins and muscles ; while on tbe left was a young gentleman ( also a student ) leaning , quite collectedly , aganst the wall tin which the door is ) with both nia hands in the pockets of a poncio coat , which was closeiy buttoned up to the chin . The room was spacious , and the walls ,

      in several piaces , were " hang , * not " with diamonds , " l » ut with unsightly black skulls , suspected by ropes to pegs erected for that purpose . I was the only person in the place beside the professional gentleman and the two students , who seemed somewhat surprised at my entrance with their superintendent—seeing I was a stranger . " You see , sir , " said Dr . Wbitfield , ( pointing to the body of Mr . C . as we drew close up to it ) " he was a man pua-eased of fine nvuscifes , and must have been strong and powerful , for a man of his siza . " [ Mr . Cariile was corpulent , and bel « w the middle stature . 1

      "And pray , sir . inquired I , " what might have been tha weight or hia brain ? ' *• Taree lbs . 6 ' -3 . and 3 drs , " waB the Doctor ' s reply . Toe trunk had evidently been divested of the intestines ; there was a horrid aperture on its auttriur , and a membrane , oi-gged with fat , was turned outwards , anil was lying on the left breast ; and , as a surcharge of fat rcund tha heart was aaid U > ti-v ? e been one among the complication of disorders that accelerated tbe death of Air . C-. the greasy membrane to which I allude was , no doubt , tha pericardium . Dr . Whitfield and uiystjlf then left the room , and proceeded together into tne street , when wo had some jjttle chat . His conversation was chitfly professional ; it did not turn

      upon the subject of the opinions ( either political or theological ) of the deceased , whom he did not , in my presence , either laud or condemn . So whatever might have been bis private sentiments—whether Christian or sceptical—one thing was le * s equivocal : he was , decidealy , no bigot . He rtflzcUd , tiisp-. iringly , upon the superstitious prtjudice that he said prevailed against dissection ' - ana remarked , that my friend , whoae corpse I had just left , had acted rationally in the bequest he had made of himself for that object . But tbere were , he said , ptrsoiis out of number to be found who were ever ready to stab the reputation of a medicaJ man . upon the slightest error he might bavfi the misfortune to commit during his attendance upon a patient ; and yet , those very persons , owing to tfaw superstition

      ha revtsrieJ to , virtaaUjr denied him the opportunity of knowing his profession , or , at luxat e of improving it . We thtn paned in the usual way—the c . entleinau hiving previously given ine his hand . The spectacle I had just witnessed , thuugh it did njt unuuive , produced , nevertheless , a rather S'nuuiar effect upon me , and won d advise any persons whose curiosity , perchance , might direct them to wend their way to a ( Sisaecting roota , to dine before th * y set out for that objwst ; for they wUl not , i apprehend , receive their dinner with any peal aest , afterwards . 1 speak from a close consultation with ruy own feelings upon tbe subject . It was afternoon when 1 visited the hospital , and I had not yet dined , but intended doiDg so on nay way thither , but , as it then occurred to me , that tuch a delay might causa me to forego the objt-cl of my curiosity , by making me too late for admission , I deemed it advisable to defer the receipt of my dinner —thii-king that on my retuj n from that place I could

      hava it comfortably , and without that burryirjg ami confusion which mast inevitably tave accempiiUied an tarlitr partaking of the same—i was , however , sorely disappointed ; for after what 1 had witnessed , aa above described , my appafte was completely set against flesh .

      BARBAROUS TREATMENT OF A COLLIER BOY , KEAR ELLAXD . ( From the Halifax Guardian . J It is this week our painful duly to record one of the most revolting cases oi barbarous treatment that it ever Ml lo onr Jot to notice . The case affords another illustration of tho cruellies practised upon children doomed to &lave-labuur in a coalmine , and we beg distinctly to observe that we have understated raiher than overstated tbe treatment of the wretch whose name we ehall Bbortly introduce .

      James Whiteley , a poor orphan boy , about seventeen y ^ ars of age , was apprenticed to Joseph Whiteley , collier , residing at ttia « kley , near Eiland , about seven years ago , as a hurrier . He was then only about nine years of see . From the first day of his apprenticeship to his cruel master , h fl has been the subject of the most severe and harsh treatment . The labour to which he "was put in his mere infaucy was the veriest drudgery , ana when his limbs taiied to do their duty , a huge strap , or aot unfrcquemly a vhiuk piece of wood , was most inhumanely applied to his person , Sx o ' clock in ins moruiDg was the usual

      hour at which this poor boy was sent iuto the pit , and at the sam 9 hour in the evening—but vot unfr ^ queatly eight or nine o'clock—he wji again submerged , h ; 3 on y subsistence being a muffin , or some other such eatable , a id the water in tbe pit . The cruelties practised upon him have been greatly increased since his inhuman master was married ( about two years since ) , the woman it appears having taken a dislike to the poor orphan lad . As a sample of the barbarities which this collier boy has had io undergo , let the puuisarnent he haa experienced during the past fortnight safibe .

      It appearB that the severe flogging which Whiteley received caused him once or twice to run away from his master . A short time ago he was so beat who a burner's strap , and a heavy piece of wood ( piece of an old cradle ) , that be a ^ ain reoo ' md uputi ruuniug aw 3 y . Ho- did so , but on Tuesday week he was brought before the Halifax magistrates by his master , charged with disobedience . Through the threats and menaces of the cruel tyrant who bad treated him so barbarously , bo was stating ibe whole facts of the case to the bench . Tao lad had intended showing the various wounds inflicted upon his person enough , however , was said io induca the magistrates to reprimand the master , and the boy was ordered to go back again , and the master

      ¦ warned not lo ill-treat him iu fnture . This warning , however , was neglected . The same day he administered a most brutal oastigation to his victim , which he repeated every day while the lad remained with him . Our readers may imagine that the harrowing details which are to follow are tinged with an air of fiction . They are facts . The poor lad went down in the pit , was beat with a SSjok , and between each stroke the instrument was iijped in water . The lad ' s back became one muss ot siTras , and it was impossible for him to lie in bed , % UJ&j subjected to this inhuman treatment , he was alk- « wsd scree meals per day of thin water porridge

      only , *» d i Q consequence of bis brutal treatment boils broke * & * & parts of his body . Frequently was he- sent into the pit without breakfast , and obliged M perform the whole of his drudgery . What made thib' the mote painful vvas the fact of his labouricg under i <* e effects of a severe wound inflicted npoc his right k ^ iee some time since . On that occasion while beating him with a hurrier ' s strap , tbe master took hold of i Ufi end opposite the bnckle ( which is generally a tolerably large one ) , ihna causing a more severe punishment j in one of the strokes the buckle caught the pour lad" fin the right knee and tore aw ^ y a large piece of fi « sh I The lad , however , was still forced to work .

      Oa Thursday night woek , this monster master ducked the Jad ' B tu-ad t ' ureo or four times in » bow } of water , wetting hfe ' shivt all over , and forced luu into the ctllar , where he wad locked up all night , without bsd , chair , ; table , or even a morpel of straw ! The same treatment mas about to be practised on Friday night , but lie begged so pitifully for mercy that he was allowed to go to bed . On Saturday night , however , he wa 3 again forced into the cellar , where he remained all night . On Sunday morning he was brought cut ; no -breakfast was given him ; but , as a further punishment , his master suspended a heavy bag of iron round his neck and forced him to walk up and down the room under the terror of another flogging . Some cold which

      porridge ( hart been loft tho previous day ) was warmed up and offered him , but he could not eat . H : a master then Isft the house , saying he would look out for a good thick stick . The woman shortly after left the . house for tha purpose of fetching some wafcrr from a neighbouring well , and the lad being thus for a few moments left alnne resolved upon trying , once more to escape from a worse than Africao , slavery . With great oxenion he managed to loose the bag of iron from his neck , and made his escape into Grimscar Wood . From thence he stealthily proceeded to the old Copperas Works , where he remained till night-fall . During his concealment ia the Copperas Works he heard his master seeking him . The lad , when referring to this circumstance , shudders involuntarily , saying , ?• I didtiemble then . " Fortunate )? , however , he was not discovered . At night he proceeded to Eilaud where a charitable wonpan took him into her house .

      gave him some coffee , and provided him with a bed . On the Monday he went to one of the constable ' 8 who took him to Mr , Joshua Dodgson , one of the overseers , who was so struck at the shocking spectacle which the lad presented , that he resolved upon resaing him from his inhuman master . He was brought before tho Magistrates on Tuesday , by tho constable , accompenied , aleo by Mr . Dodgson . His back was exhibited and- presented from the nape of the neck downwards one continued series of bruises , evidently effected by some solid but thin weapon . His ri&ht hand was also dreadfully swollen in attempting to parry off the blows . Ona part of hi s body presebtad ra'her the appearance of raw , diseased meat thao ' of human flesh and f-kin . ' ft was at first intended to take out a warrant for assault , but on conferring with the Magistrate it waathought better to take a summons for ill-treatment , with a view to cancel the indentures and release the lad from the liability to such crHel treatment .

      The Jad was subsequently removed to the workhouse , where he was pui under proper medical treatmen ' t , and the most assiduous attention has since been Daid to him both by Mr . and Mrs . Dyer . We understand that Joseph Whiteley , the lad ' s master , will be brought up before the Magistrates this day . It may be interesting to know that this unfortunate orphan boy is brother to the girl who figured in a wood-cut which appeared in the Guardian some time ago , illustrative of the cruelties and iudecenciea practised in the coal mines near Eiland .

      TO Tli £ EDITOR OF TUB NORTHERN STAR . SIR , —I have bad two interviews with Mr . Duneombe ; and although he thinks nothing can be done for pw Ellis at present , yet he pledges himself to use every exertion in tbe poor exile ' s favour us soon as the trials are over , and the political ft-rnient arising out of the trials has subsided . Mr . Duncombe evinced the deepest sympathy with the undeserved sufferings of Ellis , and listened to my narrative of our conversation in the dan ^ on with manifest interest I regret to say that some one fcart made an unfavourable impression re speeding poor Ellis upon Mr . Duncombe ' a mini , prior to my seeing bim . That I have removed it , gives me inexpressible patisfaction . My vow , or , at least , the more important part of it . is now fulfilled .

      I address my Sbakspereans , by way ef farewell , twice in the Leicester amphitheatre , next Sunday . The following Bund iy , I hav-e engaKert to delWev two aodressea at Wedne * bury , where I hope to have the melftucboly satisfaction of sating -Vis .

      A VOICE FROM THE DUNGEON . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN SlAR , giK , —I hope you will not think that by addressing you I tin seeking for notoriety ; ray motive for so doin ^ is merely to open the tyes of the faatA toittne tniitiono , that t ' . < -y inn" know the misery we are su-ffcrini ; for daring t <> assert our right tola voice in ' . ho making of an agrei- >* 'oi > t between the employer and tho employed . 1 know fu l wbll that a letter from persons suffering u . idci" tha cruel hand of oppression never failed to tntist tbo sympa thy of tho working classes in tbiir favour , and mjie t-specially if thuy were men who ¦ "'ere suffering for advocating the right of tbe working classes .

      I have for several years past seen , by great exisrtions in the cause of Churtism , that you have tho good of your . fellow-creatures at h ? arfc , and that you have been among tbe foremost in opposing and exposing the trck ^ ry and fraud of Lhe would-be friends of the people , always fciKing the cause of the wovkins classisas year own " by support : ng tight ugainst might ; being aware of this , 1 lully ifcly on your .-anflour for publishing to the country r . n Recount of some of the many miseries enaurei by us fur ( Taring to tell the haughty tyrants that

      their evil was not t ; ood . I have often read with surprise and infli ^ mtion the cruelty that political prjsonere endured . The letter , of 0 Connor during his iucarceration in York C isite , particularly struck me , and I must confess I thought they wore rather exaggerated , but painful oxpenence hna learn ° d me thot all and much more waa true ; no ono can furm an adequate idea of our sofferiDgs , unless they hive besn placed in a similar situation . You may judge from tho following to what a state we are reduced : —

      We have a room about eight yards in length , and fiveifl breadth , aud on each side is a door , two castiron pillars , about eighteen inches in diameter , which reaches to the ceiiin * ; a stone oa one aid ' s with three slabs placed three ft * et from tbe wali , which serves far tables , together with the same number of forms , con ^ stitute the xvho ' e of the furniture , and this is what ia called the day-house ; and in this place is huddled together fifty-eight inea of all ages , good , bad , and in-

      minds of their fellow men can become enlarged to tha ohj ^ ctsthey contemplate ; and this experiment , in ( •• imiuon wilh everything else the , y undertake , has been as far as circumstances would permit , in accordance with the knowledge of the system that the society who have commenced it could be induced to adopt . In tracing Mr . O-ven ' s progress from 1817 to the present period , ; it is curious to observe the manner in which varioas parties have from time to time considered themselves qualified to co-operate with him , and carry out his plans ; and also the modes hy which they have supposed themselves capable of sccoinpKshing tne same object by a muck shorter and more divecfc tonte .

      It ia this belief , in my opinion , which , preventing a unity of purpose , has hitherto retarded a more rapid progress being made ; and I trust , in the course of taLs series of letters , without reflecting unduly on the past , to point out taat it is to the immediate and paramount interest , not « nly of every class , sect , and party in tie State ; but also of every individual of the human nice , to lay aside all selfish , personal , and sectional eooaiiurations , and to join in one universal cry for tbe in : roduction of this system , the whole of the materials for which abound in superfluity around us ; aud thus for- h > with to placeman in a state of permanently progress va bappinsss , increasing as rapidly as his faculties ai-d powers can be enlarged and expanded .

      That sueh a course Trill be taken by all as coon 08 the subject is cleiarly understood I am well convinced ; and if through tha medium of your columns I cm sue * ceed in laying before so numerous and powerful a body of men as the Chartists of Great Britain , the benefits to be derived , and the ease with which they may be obtained . I shaJl have employed my time to a most useful purpiRp . Suffice it to say for the present , that thure is b > w ready for every individual everything required for the happiness nnd well-being of himself and all around hi hi , and the mo < ia jn whieh this is to be obtained is eonj and practical .
