UNITED STATES . . By the arrival at Liverpool of the Jiodtetter , CaptamWoodhouse , we have" received New Vork papers to the 6 th ult . —two dayB later than the josrnals brought by the SotUk America , together with intelligence from Canada and Texas . The most important feature in these jouraals is the message of Governor Porter to the Legislature of Pennsylvania , recommending that body not to pass an early resumption of Specie Payments' BUI , which was well received by the democratic party . The Governor had wisely made provision for paying the interest upon the public debt at hoae and abroad , to the . general satisfaction of the mercantile interest . The Legislature of Ohio has adopted , Wo
resolutions which are sufficiently dtanacenl u the boasted ciriliz&tiaa and intelligence or thai assembly . The first recognises slavery as a domestic institution of that stated the second denounces as dangerous and immoral £ 9 the inteSrfteenee of the ' fanatical abolitionists « f the North with the institution of slavery ! The Nev York Evening Star affirms that ' the British Govecnaient has authorised the authorities of New BrufiBwick , Nova Scotia , and Upper and Lower Canda , to place the entire boundary line in a strong state of defence . For this purpose barracks were in the course of erection , fortresses were in progress of repair , And twosteam-frigates were about
to be built at Chippewa . The writer expresses his eoeviction that the ^ Government at Washington is not inattentive to th # se movements , and that a corresponding degree of Activity is to be expected on the part of the States , from the decisive tone of Secretary Forsyth ' s correspondence . We are inclined to believe the statement in the Stmr . to be either snfouuded , or greatly exaggerated ; but , at the same time , we are not indifferent to the grounds existing for an apprehension of a rupture between Great Britain and the United States . We sincerely trust that the peaceable removal of these grounds occupies the joint efforts of London and Washington .

TttE WELSH PATRIOTS" *}© THEIR " FRIENDS . " " Says me from my friends , " is % prayer which has long and justly been adopted by public charact ers in trying times ; and surely its propriety was never more forcibly exemplified than in the proceedings of many who have affected friendship for these unfortunate , though truly estimable , and patriotic men . It would Beem as if the extremes of
madness and of criminality had met to thwart the efforts of those who would most eertainly have effected their emancipation . Pending their trial , and thedi 8 cussion , bythe Judge * , of the" point , " their " friendB , " in several parts of the country , spite of all our earnest and reiterated cautions and remonstrances , did what they could to secure their execution , by the wretched displays of cowardice and folly which have disgraced the name of Chartism . We have no sort of doubt that it was this , and this alone , which induced some of the Judges to stultify their own opinion of the objection , and rather choose to look like fools than hazard their acquittal . While a reference to the columns of our present Number will show how much zeal and fervour
has been manifested by their " mends' in Parliament . These had the opportunity of giving great effect to the exertions of the people ont of doors , had they been disposed to do so . How has that disposition been manifested ! Why , in the putting off , by Mr . T . gmgti , of his promised motion , from one day to another , till he was quite certain that it must be comparatively useless ; the victims being on their way to their wretched destination . At length , however , when no decent excuse could be offered for delay , it was breught forward , on Tuesday last , &ndoutof 658 representativesofthepeople , " FiVK were found to vote for the motion , " That an address be presented to her Majesty , prayiDg her to grant a free pardon to Frost , Wiluaks , and Jokes . "
And of those five , what were th « terms in which they supported this motion ? Mr . Lkadkr " Did not appeal to the Home on behalf of the Monmouth prisoners on account of any sympathy be bad for the manner in -which they had been treated , nor because he did not conceive that file offence of which they had been guilty was of a noit serious character . He did not appeal to them on the merits of the case , or because he thought their punishment was undeserved . " Mr . Huhe thought their offence was of the most " aggravated character , " and thai it was "detrimental in every point of vi » w i * the rfrnrtitmi of the eountry . "
Mr . Dtocombs , in the beginning of his speech , said that" If this question were exclusively one of crime , not of law , he should say that there were no three indivCdnals whose lives were more justly forfeited to the offended laws of their country than those of Frost , Williams , and Jones . Such was the style of language bolden by three of the only four men in the House who opened their mouths on the occasion ; and though Mr . Waklet implored of Lsaseb not to press the motion to a division in the absence of Messrs . Pollock and Kelly , who might reasonably be expected to take some interest in the matter , he was coolly answered , that the presence or absence of these gentlemen could make no difference .
The division has not been published at the time of our writing this , ( Thursday ) , but we may at least suppose that Messrs . Leader , Hcxe , T . Dckc £ Mbb and Wakiet , who all spoke in favour of the motion , would vote for it . Mr . Johm Fieldkn was in the House , but we have no means of knowing which way he voted ; most probably it would be for the motion . If he did vote , he seems by the London Press , to have doae so silently . He could not well , after the declaration which he knows we heard him * n * ke about leading on the people in resistance to the Poor Law , eing the song of his friend Dcscoxbb and bo , as he could say nothing to damage the prisoners , he probably thought it best to say netting at alL But the pink of the debate was " Lawyer " LusmKGTOK . This worthy waa
" Prepared to say that the sentence of the criminals should be carried into effect upon every consideration of law , justice , and public expediency . ( Hear , hear . " ) He maintained that

" By tbfi law of the land these prisonem might have been executed . Hundreds had gone to the scaffold on whose eases differences of opinion h&i existed among the Judges , but concerning whose 4 eaiiny no one bad ever dreamt of making it a question of discussion , in the Home « f Commons . " On Mr . Duncombe ' s interposing that ** it ought to have been , " the " lawyer" seems to have puffed out with impotent importance , aad replies , aa x £ * ported by the Morning Chronicle . <• it * tte hw of th « lud Umhmiin » . n . i . ht i ...
"It eught to hive , been , « &ys- ) 'the Honourable Member for Finsbury .. It ought to have been II say it ought not to have been . ( Cheers . > j « ay the House of CoBsuons is not competent to . discuss questions of this natare—that it is incompetent , to consider any legal question of ao deep and difficult and complicated a character ; and not only so , bat I maintain that it ii on unconstitutional practice for any individual to coll upon the Bouse of Commons to do * a act by which' it would make itself not only superior to the Judges of the land , bnt would overrule the power and prerogative of the Crown . ' " The " lawyer" fool was well rebuked by Waklbt , who
said" His Honourable colleague had a-tverted to the fact that no occurrence similar to this could be found in the history ef the laws of this country ; but the Bight Honourable and Learned Gentleman had passed that eircumstsaee over entirely . He had stated . that hundreds of persons had been executed where differences of opinion among the Judges bad existed , but none of whose cases had been broaght before the Houbc of Commons ; and the Right Honourable and Learned Gtentteman added , that in his opinion they ought not to be brought before the House , because the House was incompetent to comiwehead these questions . If so , why should the House of Commons
exist at all ? what were they assembled together for ? Wag it not to make the law ? ( Hear , hear , hear . ) But after having made it , they . were told by the Bight H «« onrftble and Learned Gentleman that they were not eapitye ol ' \ comprehending & ( Cheers and laughter . ) "That vlj Absolutely ^ aad j ^ uvtigbthe argument of the Bight Boa . atf 3 Learne 4 Genttemu ( Hear , hear . ) DWth * Big ^ t Hou tgH , Leaned CfegBeman deny that they'were competent \ o m&ke , the Jaw ? No ; but he did deny their competency to comprehend it . Now , in order to axry ont his argument fully , he must also contend tbat they were not competent to legislate . That might be the case ; but still he thought
they were capable of deciding between two and four , or whether Monday was Tbnnday / or Thursday Monday , « well as the fifteen Jsklges . ' There was , however , one thing incapable of comprehension—the public were incapable of comprehending how it was that fifteen grave and Learned -Gentlemen , who had been placed upon the judicial bench of this country , and who reaped an enormous sum of money out of the public Taxes for comprehending the law , should have been divided in such a chequered anil peculiar manner npon so simple a question as was proposed to them in the case of Frost , and which a little common sense was quite sufficient in a few minutes to Bolve . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) In fact , the public only / taw nine
to six deciding that Monday waa Saturday , and then six against nine that SaUrday was Monday—nay , more , going on to-decide that Weive o ' clock was two , wA that a quarter past three meant four . When he saw the judges governed in their decisions , and characterised by that clearness and that distinctness which was calculated to obtain for the law the respect of the people , he Cor one would be the first to bow to their superior knowledge ; but when he found them giving di ^ jbions of a contradictory character , and , as he mlghtralmpst gay in some instances , of an absurd character , heMWBid not be deterred from expressing- MstopinionJuVefer ence to those decisions , or to any other part of ' their public conduct "
The reply of Waklky was good as far as the observations of the " learned" u legislator" applied to the competency of the House to understand the laws of its own making ; but did the lawyer fool not know that this was no part of the question before the House ! The question before the House was , not whether the prisoners had bees convicted legally or illegally , but whether the House ' should , or should not , ask the Queen to exercise her prerogative of mercy . Ib the House not competent for this ! Have the Members of the House of Commons , individually and collectively , lost all the rights of common subjects of the realm ! Are they to be denied the right and privilege of petitioning the Throne , because " Lawyer " Lushington deems himself incapable of understanding a matter so simple that six old washerwomen would decide it in as many seconds !
If such be the samples ( and they really are the best ) of the " Liberal" and " Learned" squad who " order the affairs" of this great nation , it is indeed high time thai ' ihe peepW set—tomnsly about " taking their affairs into their own hinds . " [ In another part of our columns will fee found also a letter from Earl Stanhope , about ihe maaner is which he has given efficiency to the voice of the people in the many memorials and petitions confided to
him . He has burked them every one ! Instead of using his privilege , as a Peer of Parliament , to present them in person to ^ her Majesty , and rapport their prayer in each manner as he could have done , which the people had a right to expect from him , he sent them all to Lord Norxaxbt ; with a certain knowledge , which he must needs have had , that they never would be presented at all , and that he might as well have put them into the fire at once .
All these things , however , do good . They show the people that there is no reliance to be placed on any but themselves , and that if ever they intend to be emancipated they must look to their own strength , manifested by consistency , unanimity , and organisation , to effect it .

THE DELEGATE MEETING AT MANCHESTER . Wx thought the people had been lately well enough schooled to havelearned the folly of placing any reliance for their deliverance from the curse of political bondage npon the broken reed which they have already , in bo many places , tried with snch lamentable consequences , aggressive violence . . We are sorry , however , to perceive , ' from the report , elsewhere , of the delegate meeting at Manchester , that there is yet in some parts of the country a disposition to rely . on this in preference to better means .
We cannot too strongly reprobate snch fatuity ; especially at this time , when all the energies of the people are needed for practical and useful measures . We perceive that the meeting recommends a Convention to be held at Nottingham . If the feeling of the people in that neighbourhood be any thing like accurately represented by the delegate they sent to this meeting , ( which we do not believe , ) we hope no delegates will be sent to any Convention to meet at Nottingham but such as have ^« ool heads and honest hearts .

IB specimens of the Splendid Portraits of Oastler , M'Douall , and Collins , are how in the hands of our Agents , and will bear comparison with any which the art can furnish . The disagreeable situation in which we were placed relative to Stephens ' s Portrait has made us cautious , and , therefore , we resolved not to fix the day for the presentation of the above-mentioned Plates until they were at full work , whereby we are enabled to avoid all chances of disappointment . Our arrangements are as follow : —
We allow till Saturday , the 15 th of March , for receiving Subscribers' Names . Subscribers from that period will be entitled to a Portrait in six weeks ; to a second in two months from the periofd of giving the first ; and the third after another interval of two months , which is the very earliest time at which they can be perfected . In one month from the last named period we shall present to ear readers the most Splendid Plate that art can furnishV Frost , Williams , and Jones , together with Sir Frederick Pollock .
and Messrs . Kelly and Thomas , Counsel for the prisoners . We pledge ourselves that this Plate shall be of the most splendid description . We shall then complete our promised series of Portraits by giving full-length ones of Henry Vincent , William Lovett , and Feargus O'Connor ; and when the entire is completed , the value of the Star Gallery of Portraits will far surpass the amount expended in the purchase of the Paper . It mus » t be distinctl y understood that none but Subscribers will be furnished with Portraits at any price .
It will be seen that we have extended the time for taking Subscribers Names one week , to give time for the due circulation and posting of some large Posting-Bills we are issuing , announcing the circulation of the Star , and the splendid gifts we propose . Posting Bills , announcing the Portraits to be given with the forthcoming numbers of the
Star , have , this week , been -sent to the follow ing places , viz : — Bristol , Monmouth , Newport , Merthyr Tidvil , Norwich , London , Edinburgh , Leith , Dundee , Aberdeen , Perth , Glasgow , and Paisley .
We request the Agents to have them posted as early as possible , as the time for receiving the Names of Subscribers is limited .

5 OO STABS FOR JOHN STYTuES . Ii they do this , they will materially aid us . It is rather vexing , when we are run foi post ; to have to wade through three sides of closely written foolscap before the Order we seek for can be found . If the Orders are not here on Thursday , they cannot be attended to . Last week , letters from the following Agents were received too late : —Arthur , Carlisle ; Hobson , Barnsley ; Horn , Newcastle ; Aitken , Paisley ; Millar , Frome ; Duncan , Edinburgh ; Bromley , Kiddermuister ; and Wilde , Hull—In fnture , all orders arriving on Friday , must stand over till the following week , as it is impossible-to attend to them when they arrive so late .

LEEDS . Assize Intelligence , —The business progresses very slowly in the Crown'Court , owing to the praiseworthy attention paid by Judge Erskine to every case brought before him . After the hard-hearted instances of cold indifference which the poor accused have been in the habit of experiencing at the hands ofcruelJudges , it is truly refreshing to witness the constitutional conduct of Sir John Coleridge and Judge Erskine . By them the people ' s honesty is not mocked , their aina are npt aggravate ^ but thoy- teach the rich their
duty , io £ dereliction of which they , as openly as they can , ascribe many of the present evils which afflict society . The Bilence of the London press upon the splendid , luminous , and eloquent charge of Judge Erskine , is very remarkable . If Chief Justice Tindal had been sent down here to send all the poor Chartists to heaven without trial , he Would have , been followed by a retinae of young Devils from the Times . As soon as the hurry is . over , we purpose publishing , at full length , corrected raportB of the charges of Sir John Coleridge at Newcastle , and that of Judge Erskine at York , . A Scotchman once said that he had discovered the panacea for all Ireland ' s evils , or rather a remedy for her disturbances ; which was , npon the first appearance of an outbreak , to hang the nearest parson
, landlord , and magistrate , who were invariably the promoters . We give a nostrum for the suppression of all violent language in England . It is this—Let Sir John Coleridge and Judge Erskine be sent upon a Royal Commission into every county in England , Scotland , and Wales , there to lay down the law as they have done upon this circuit , and very speedily ( the constitutional limits being prescribed to public meetings ) all violence of language will depart . The Queen , the Government , the aristocracy , the middla classes , aHd ~ &bove all , the people , owe a heavy debt of gratitude to these judicial pacificators . The Attorney-General is to arrive at York on Saturday , and on Monday the learned prosecutor commences thft' ^ Sampaign with the prosecution of the Sheffield
prisoners , not for treason—the reasons for which we shall give next week—but for riot . With the Learned Gentleman will be Sergeant Atcherly , - Mr . CressweD , Q . C , and Mr . Wightman . For the prisoners—Messrs . Wortley , Watson , Murphy , and Wilkins ; Mr . O'Connor having expressed his determination that they should have man for man . Bills have been found against all the Sheffield prisoners . Tuesday next has been appointed for Mr . O'Connor ' s trial , to suit the convenience of the Attorney-General . Of these trials we shall next week give a full and complete report . It is thought that the Assizes may yet last for three weeks .

Craistor , shoemaker , of Commercial-street , Leeds , have published a statement of their reasons for leaving his employment , and which they jtffirm to be , that in the first week of December last , Mr .

Ladies' Shoes ; that be was the only master in Leeds who offered to make this reduction , though he was at the time he offered this not paying bo much for the same deBscription of work as others were ; that the men refusing to accede to his request , and , finding him inexorable , they left fits employ , and have been out of work ever nnce .

Thefts from Children . —On Saturday , a girl named Mary Blackburn , was placed before the magistrates at the Court House , on several charges of having obtained bundles of clothes and other articles from children who had been sent with them either to wash or mangle . Her plan was to persuade the party in charge of the bundle to go into a publichouse and inquire if some person was there , and she would wait with the property till their return .
The most substantive case against her was for having thus obtained , on Monday morning , a bundle , the property of Mr . Wainwright , of theAire W Calder Tavern , with which a girl had been sent to Hunslet . This case and another were taken against her , and she was committed for triaL A number of pawn-tickets were found in her possession , for things which have doubtless been obtained in a similar fraudulent manner .
