ThelnsMon will shortly appear again , and however it may . be opposed by trafficking politicians , it will be a disgrace to the people of both countries if they do not support that orgaii which . supports their interest . Look to France—aye , and let your rulers look to Eranjce too ; and let them take warning from what Is passing there . The " SPECIAL CONSTABLE PRESIDENT , " and Ms representativei—for they are not the people ' s representatives—have blasted every hope that was anticipated by the people . Magistrates
are dismissed for signing petitions in favour of Universal Suffrage—newspapers not allowed to pass free through the post , if they contain one von } that is repulsive to the feelings of the " SPEQIAL CONSTABLE ; " while those organs that flatter him and delude the people with ! gross falsehood , are eulogised , and allowed to pass post free . Then again , look at another abomination ; it is this : the lickspittles of the President are about to compel every man who writes a leading article in a newspaper to attach his name to that article Are not these facts sufficient to convince the
people and their rulers that , if the free expression of mind is suppressed , the torch becomes the substitute for the pen—a fact daily communicated to as by the large number of houses that are being daily fired in France , and not one of which would occur if the people were allowed to expreES their sentiments freely ? Perhaps some -wise philosopher may turn npon me , and say , " Well , if you consider the freedom of the Press as the basis of liberty , look to your glorious Press of England ; " while my answer 'is , that the glorious Press of
England is . both the foundation of tyranny and the manacle of industry . And however I may surfeit . the reader , 1 will again recal his attention to the Hungarian interpreter's definition of the liberty of tfie English Press . Some few years ago , I was sailing up the Rhine with this highly intellectual gentleman . Hte had travelled in all conntries , and spoke all languages . In the course of our conversation , we contrasted the different policy of Hungary and England " . I said , " What do you think of our soldiers as compared with yours . ? " He replied , "Why , the differenceKes here . If you -enlist in Hungary you are only
bound to serve for seven years , while if you enlist in England , you are a slave for life . " - " Then look to your Game Laws , " said he , "if you shoot a hare in Hungary you cook it for your dinner ; but if you shoot a hare in England you are sent to prison . " " Well , but look at our press , " said I ? "Oh , " said he , " that is the devil ; hi England the rich pay the press for telling lies of the poor , bat in Hungary we are not allowed to tell lies of any one " Now , I do not think that I could give you a better definition of the virtue of the English press , nor do I think that I could impress , you with a stronger—nay I "will say a more interested motive for resuscitating the
GLORIOUS AND PATRIOTIC "IRISHMAN . " Since the Northern Star was established I have given money to support newspapers that professed to advocate your cause ; and when they failed , the recipients of my money became my most brutal and violent assailants . But , -as self-interest does not constitute the basis of my actions , lwould , to-morrow , devote my time and money to the support of any newspaper that was calculated to strengthen your cause ; and as , in my opinion , no paper is more capable of effecting this object than
the t « IRISHMAN , " I implore every honest Chartist ^ and every industrious working manj to put his shoulder to the wheel , and lift the "IRISHMAN" outmf . the slough . And if you fail to perform a duty yhich imposes but a slight tax upon eachj . ihy prayer is ,- ; --that your noses may be kept to the grinding stone , as God only helps tho » e ; who help themselves . There is something ' morestartling ^ in-the present condition of-Ireland than the English people areyet aware of . ; Itis-reported ^ in \ a great majority of the papers , th ^ t 'tb ! e ' : pot ^ tp disease hasagain shown . itself in IxeJandV ; But
I have received confirmation of thisi " awiral : catastrophe * from £ much jhighar " : authority ^ - 'I have receivedi 3 t Mm O ^ sw-ipltsi ^ " friend and rel ^ ve , % h 6 inforp 8 ; me that in his neighbourhood—in ^ tieijounty ^ ot- Cork—the fatal blast has again struck the "National food / ' And as this fact will once more rousethe famishing Irish people to madness and desperatio n , I the . more urgently ~ 1 mplore all who respect theif fellow-creatures , to support the Irishman , as the only organ that , under such circumstances , can faithfully direct the Irish imind . - ' - -
In conclusion , I-will give the English and the Irish reader a fair definition of ministerial power . I gave notice in the House of Commons that , on Thursday next I would Bnbnrit a motion to REPEAL THE UNION , when lo and behold , on Tuesday last , Lord John KusSELL announced that Ministers would take J hatday as an ORDER DAY ; and , consequently , lam extinguished . ¦ Again imploring all who love their country § md liberty , tosupport the Irishman , '' ..

Mi'KtDD ' th ' eh came forWard . -aniidsJ ; oonsiderable ^ cheering-to inovo the following resoluw ¦? , " ' T- ' : Th ** ' m tke ° Pinion of this meeting , the bill which has lately receivedtho sanction , of
ioarnament , : tor the regulation of the labour . of women ana young persons , in' factories ,-is : practically a refusal of the , Ten Hours Act , passed ' in 1847 , which apt . has never-been petitioned against ; by the factory pperativesi - We therefore recommend them to renew their agitation for an efficient Ten Hbura Bill , ' and ; to . solicit the aid ^ of ' all the ; trades of England .. and ; Scotland , in favour of' tho ^ prinoiples . v . on . ,, w . hich that measure : is ^ . based /' Mr . Kydd said , that resolution was intimately connected with working men , and the flood tide being as , it ! were up to their dbors , they ' had better cause it ; to : flow on ; the proper means of sustenance '' was not had by working men , when in full employ , ' and what was generally termed prosperity by theiotii ' -
nausts ne denounced simply activity . They-had all iheard of . the factory . operatives * - 'yearsi ago '; even' , women had worked ' tho immense time of eighteen hours per day . After a thirty gears ' agitation , John . Pielden had managed to get his Ten nours _ Bill passed into law in 18 i 7 , but ' it was found defective , in so far that unprincipled employers took advantage of it b ^ ' having '" shifts or relays ' twice peiv day , thus making move than ten houris' labour in the twenty-four ; judges had been appealed to , and their decisions having gone with the violators , the operatives again appealed to parliament to amend the defect , and , so cause the Ten Hour 3 Bill to be carried out in all its integrity ; a bill was submitted to parliament , drawn un bv the frinnda
ofthe operatives , by Lord Ashley , with this view , and had been favourably * received , buf ' at' the bidding ! of the Whig Minister , - Lord Ashley treacherously deserted the operatives ; and the bill became law , such new act being virtually an abrogation of John Fieiden - s Act of 1847 . He therefore wished the men of London to show that they felt for the operatives , of the , North- ( oheers ) -and [ that they wero ^ esir pus of a general industrial agitation , and tnat they would , ou ,. such general grounds , like to see a renewal of the factory perturbation . { Hear , hear ) He differed with the so-called political ceonomists-Adam Smith , Ricardo , Mills , ic . ; arid under such pseudo-political economy as these men . taught , he did not think the people' would he anv
Oetter . ptf ,. even . should : \ vives and : children work mom than they , did at present . ( Hear , hear . ) : He thought if some repellant power , was -not placed against the agressions of capital the . labourer must perish . Capital did not slayfat once , but caused Us victims to perish , by inches . Mr . Kydd here drew : a vivid picture of a criminal in a gaol , and a pauper in a workhouse , showing how far superior the former was treated , and illustrated his argument by instancing the man who has just been sentenced to seveiryears transportation , by Lord Campbell ; for stealing a few articles in a , workho . usej uiioMer that he might enjoy a felon ' ^ fare . . Ho thought- ' tbis was thotime . to . aidthe ' men ^ thyiarih ^ hditolet
oip ueorge urey , Lord John Russell , , ihe Bishop of Manchester and Quaker Bright know that they did not stand alone m their agitation , , but that they were felt and cared for by their brother operatives , throughout the length and breadth of the land ( Great cheering . ) - He knew that teil hours a-dfty was toolong for . women and children . Why , then didhesay ten hours ? Simply-because that was a rooted question mtheminds of the factory workersand ho said , " Get in the thin edge of the wedtre ' then drive it home . " . Co ph . with ; the industrial agitation until a proper regulation for labour was obtained . Mr . Kydd resumed his seat loudly applauiied . . : ¦ '• .. ¦¦ ' . ¦ . ¦ J " Mr .

Mr , STALLwooDsaid , he did not rise to support the motion , nor would hesubmit an amendment . When the bill was , before the , Legislature , , had he been asked if he would support the ten hour proposition of Lord John Manners , in opposition to the landlords and tho treacherous compromise of Lord Ashley , he most undoubtedly should have replied in the affrmative , but ho could not agree to originate a proposition , calling on " women aiid youn ? persons' to work in factories for ten hours pe ° r dav as the " basis" of the Labour question through ¦ Kngland and Scotland , when ; he knew , that under a just ' system : of social rights ,, four hours per day would be amply sufficient . ( Hear . ) Thorofore to preserve his consistency , he entered his protest against it . ¦¦¦¦ ¦ ¦¦ . ¦ ¦ ... *•
-Mr . Isaac Wilson said he should have no oliiection to the factory operatives returning to ' a ten hours , per day bill , but he thought they should be required to aid in effecting , a universal measure for labour s . protection , and . in , starting such . an agitation social rights should not bo lost sight of-for unlossncw arrangements were made , wealth would increase enormpusly-in heapes on tho ono hand , and in poverty , misery , and destitution on the other , and convulsion must be tho inevitable result ( Loud cheers . ) He had re-, joined tho Charter Association , having confidence in the present Executive— ( cheers)—and ho bolievodif they kept ' . the movement going as it at present wns , much good tnight come of it . As rogarded tho Labour question , he thought they should have something that ; all could go for—not ii : niere sectional thing ,, but a something that would break down the barriersj " n ' niil allowjmnn to exchange his labour . with his fellow man . ) ( Cheers . } .. _ " ' .

¦ Mr ; G . W . M . Reynolds ,, amidst loud cheers ^ oame forward to move . ' tho following resolution ' : ~ "That this meeting views with alarm the rapidly approaching division of society into two classes —• tho enormously rich , and tho miserably poov , firmly believing such a division , to .. be ;' . alike , ' opposed to . justice , reason ' , and nature , and , at tho same time , congratulates the ultrademocrats on the union tftat prevails ' throughout their ' ranks , and calls on them , in their serried phalanx , by an ' increased circulation of the democratic newspapers , peribdiclesj Chartist , ' Fraternal , ' and Social' tracts , by the establishment of Chartist localities , the holding of more frequent public ^ mcotings , &c , to hasten the ' advent ofthe social rights otall , through the ienactment- of . that
great means of self-government-rthe "People's Charter . " Mr . Reynolds . said , after the addresses they had just heard , np pne could' doubt ; but that great evils existed in sdbiety ' j ' at present , tho House oallpd tho Commons was a mere ariabcratic houae , and the feudalsystem hadprevailed since the , conquest , and ; surely it wastirao the bonds of feudalism was burst asunder . A ohange ^ a great change was required , or , as had been well observed '' by' a . previous speaker , a convulsion would ensue . ( Hear . ) True , tho working classes toiled ni g ht and day , but they had to thank themselves for their slavery ; for jf thoy willed , and were determined on a change , the whole face of things might bo , altered before the setting pfto-morro \ v ! s sun . He believed it would not be Ion 2 before an ' opportunity presented itself
to regain their long-lost rights . Contiriehtial affairs were not settled ; the oppressed would again rise against tho oppressor in France , Germany , Hungary , Italy , , ic , andnot one tyrant ' s throne would be left standing . The intelligence and moral power of tho English people would .: doubtlessly enforce thojr rights ; not . that , he would fax rights or intelligence , as he conppived tho savages in . the South Seas had as much right as had the most civilisod nation on the fuce of . the ' globe .

Harrop , Rogers , Flexman , Swift , Maunder , and Bronterre O'Brien , who , in a speech that was greeted with every demonstration of applause , called on bis hearers to support the National Charter Association , the Fraternal Democrats , and the National Reform League ; the former even in preference to the latter ;¦ for , should they get connected with the former , under its present excellent management , they would speedily become enlightened enough to appreciate the latter , — " That the social rights of the people of this country having been taken from them by acts of parliament , may be restored by the same means . But it is the opinion of this meeting that their is no hopo of such restitution being made by any parliahament , composed , as at present , exclusively of the representatives of those classes for whoso benefit the people have been robbed of their social
rights , and who owe their very existence , as a separate body , to the slavery and degradation of the producing class . " . ; v "That the social and political rights of man .

Decision op the Committee as to the Bdiidinofor the Exhibition op I 851 .-The long deliberations as to tbe building to be erected for the exhibition of 1851 have been terminated by a decision in favour of Mr . Paxton ' s design and estimate . Mr . Paxton suggests a building chiefly of glass—in fact a huge but elegant glass-house . The great feature in its erection is , that no stone , brick , or mortar will be necessary . All tho roofing and upright sashea will be made b y machinery , fitted together and glazed with rapidity , most of them bemg finished previous to being taken to the place , so that lHtte olsG will be required on the spot than to fit the finished materials together . The -whole of the structure will be supported on cast-iron columns and the extensive roof will be sustained without the
necessity for interior walls for this purpose . Ifvem aftorthe exhibition , the materials may be sold far more advantageously than a structure filled m with bricks and mortar , and some of the materials would bring in full half the original outlay in order to subdue the intense light in a building covered with glass , it is proposed to cover all thi south sule of the upvight parts , together with tb . e whole of tho roofs outside , with calico or canvass , tacked on the ridge rafters of the latter . This will allow a current of air to pass in the valleys , under the calico , which will , if required , witli tho ventilators , keep tho air of the house cooler than the external atmosphere . To give tho roof a light -, \ nd graceful appearance , it is to bo on the ridge and lurrow principle and glazed with sheet glass . No timber tree 3 need bo cut down , as the glass mav ht up to the boles of the trees , leaving the lower branches under tho glass during tho exhibition ; but Mr . Paxton does not recommend this course
, as , for the sum of £ 250 , he would engage to remove and replace every living tree on the ground , except the Jarge old elms opposite to Prince ' s-gnte . Only a fow years ago . the erection of suoh a building as the ono contemplated would have involved a fearful amount of expense ; but the rapid advanco made ; in this oountrv during tho last forty years , both , in . tho scientific construction of such buildings and the ' oheBp manufacture of glass , iron , Ac , together with tho amazing facilities iti the preparation of sash-bars and other wood-work , rendor an erection of this description , in point of expense , quite on a level-with : those constructed of moro substantial nmtcrials . Mr . Paxton is tho well-known gardener to the Duke of Devonshire . Tho amount of the contract ia £ S 7 , 000 . For this sum the buildiii" is to be constructed , and all the materials are to remain the property of Mr . Pnxtdi ) , to be remored by him , or otherwise , as Farliariicnt may hereafter ordain .
Dreadful Explosion of Fire-damp . — Glasgow , AYednesday . —Yesterday a frightful catastrophe occurred in one ofthe coal-pits belonging to Mr . Sner deri ,- ' situated at Connnonade , in the . immediate neighbourhood of tho boroiigh of Airdrie . The miners , to the number of twenty , descended to their work as ' usual about six o ' clock , when , it is said , the foreman accompanied them ; and-went forward to ascertain the stato of the air in the pit . AH of a sudden a terrific explosion occurred , which instantly killed nineteen put ofthe twenty , ; and shattered and destroyed all tho implements aud machinery in th 9 pit . jOnly one man escaped . Ho was standing near the bottom of tho ' pit when lie' heard the explosion , and suddenly threw himself down to allow the fiery storm so pass over . On rising he found the buckets
which communicated with the-surfnee shattered ; but finding a p'eco of wood , he inserted it into ono of the links of tho chain , and giving tho signal , was pulled up to the pit-head . The accounts of the cause of the accidenttgive ' n by this man are exceeding imperfect , and it . is not likely that the actual circumstance connected with this calamitous event will ever be known . The men had not , Davy lamps . Fourteen of the bodies were recovered up to last night , and one was recovered this morning , before our informant left , leaving still four in the pit . They are almost dreadfully charred and disfigured from tho effects of the explbsion , which is ono of the moat severe that has occurred-. in the West of Scotland for many years . The deceased are mostly young , men , but a few of them have left widows ami children . ' :
