Yes , Sir , notwithstanding the abuse and unmerited slanders to which those of my order have been sub * jected , we are capable of entertaining % Dassion of pstriotism . Well , then , Siri aBoir & toipirOMh yon with eonfldenee , WnUe ' ll&St ^ TjnS our present prospects . The ]«^« mal Charter Association of Great Britaur , like a fostering parent , embraces , at tbW momenV forty-six towns . ^ Here is a glorious resurrection from the' death-blow oi theAttornej-GaieraL I believe Wtt UnVaadThis coUeaguw must haye drank themselvos Bpirit-proof . or by , ftis time they would have b «» frigptSS o « t of their wits < God save the mark ) by tbecaogte of the sacrificed Chartisto . Yoa will probably say wj
oagus w nave aoaoie tnis number ; bat , mf dear Sir , allow me to remind yon of the debts- ~ th « oilr iron tongue of the Attotney-GUneral-aw baseaess Of the , middie-oksB men—Uie sileat and nihv opposiUoa of the press-the poverty ofwir-oppresBed countrymen—how difficult it ig to raise * Sroken spirit . O , Sir , could you but Bee the wretchedness of our poor "Lancashire Witches " , as you were wont , to call them , your aoblo heart would bleed . In this district w * have fresh turn-oute every day , with nothing to fall back upon . For my part , I wonder how taey 8 tand it . There are hundreds at this moment who receive but 5 d , per week . Who , with a knowledge of this , can be surprised at incendiarism * wonder at prostitution , Buidde , and murder !
It is abase world , Sir , but we most mend it ; or , rather , i t is a ' beautiful world bob ! damnably marred- and we mist drive the destroying kxrasts to the wild wilderness , or oar green meadows will be laid waste—oar noble forests will wither and die , PtQ * ^ count ** present tmt « nr wB » -ao < horrtd wild . First le ^ ihe pariah 1 Wn&t , Sir shall we stand tamely by , now that the but vesture of our remaining libertiM is gone—shall we quietly submit to every degradation—shall we , like rate , hide our heads in holes and corners , feed on potatoes and buttermilk , and thank Heaven for what we get ! whilst our lordly tyrants raU about in their splendid carriagea , haaat their nurhtlv bells , snout
obscenity to the victims of their brutaused appetites , embrace their own sisters with incestuous lewdness , begotten by their titled fathers upon , their pensioner harlots . Shall we , who have been robbed of all th&t ia worth living " for , resign even the claim to freedom ! No , no , no , forbid it . Heaven ; come dungeons , torture , banishment , death—come hell and damnation ; but come not to my heart , thou quintessence of slavery—a cowardly submission ! Now , Sir , I have a matter to lay before you which I ihinkwill do your heart good . A member of the London Chartist body Koi , Isuppose , what they eailgloriously drunk , and waa taken to the lock-ups ; upon his person was found one of our cards of membenhiD .
On his examination , he stated that the men " Yot vos at the head on ' t vos in Manchester , and vos caU'd theHerekmtiff . ' Whether it was supposed by the sot , that we wore masks , and carried axes over our shoulders , I do not know ; but it ia galling that a good cause should be disgraced by a selfmade slave ; bnt , mirabile dictu , this affair procured me an interview with Sir Charles Shaw , Chief Commissioner of the Police Force of Manchester . In consequence of current reports , I sent Sir Ch&s . two enamelled cards , with a toll description of the motto and emblems ; upon the receipt of which , I was informed , he desired to see me . Now for the interview : — Sir C—O , Mr . Tillman !
W . T . —Your most obedient . Sir , I have waited on yo « -according to your desire . Sir C . —Yery good ; take a chair , Mr . Tillman . Didyou bring the cards f W \ T . —I have . Sir . Sir C . —Well , first of all , I have to thank you for the two you sent me as a present ; the others I want for Borne friends . I'll pay you for them ; what is theprice of them ! W . T . —I have bronght you six , Sir ; they are three shillings . They are sold to realise a trifle to give to the Chartist prisoners . Sir C—Ah , yes , I see . Well , now , Mr . Tillman , you are placed in a very responsible situation . I have sent for you , because I like to aot in aa ^ open , fair manner .
w . T . —I am extremely obliged to you , Sir Charles ; and that we may at once understand each other , ! beg leave to inform you , that whatever passes between us will be published . Sir C—Now that is what I like . It is much better to be above board , as it is called , and s * long as you act in that way , I promise you I will not in any way interrupt you , bat yoa mast remember yours is a dangerous post . W . T . —The greater the honour , Sir ; you must allow fer enthusiasm , the love of country , and so forth . Sir C . —I am not apprehensive of your doing anything wrong , personally , but you cannot te ll what may arise oai of this ; should others commit breaches of the law , of course I must send for y < u and Mr . Leech .
W . T . —I aai aware of my position , Sir ; still I hold it hard that I should be held respensiole for other men , particularly when it is an established fact that the authorities themselves sometimes incite to breaches of the peace . Sir C . —I am not aware of that . W , T . —You cannot tell what your officers do when out of your presence . Why , Sir , your Chief Inspector , Mr . Beswick , went to my employer and requested him to discharge me . My employer , a thorough-going Whig , refused , alleging as a reason , that I waa a good servant , and very attentive to his
business . I have since left him with a good character ; if you please , Sir , you cau inquire into these allegations . Sir C . —Indeed , Mr . Tillman , I can assure you I never authorised anything of the kind . Now , if you W . T . —Excuse me , Sir Charles ; our object is to instruct the people , by establish schools , disseminating cheap publications , and sending missionaries through the country , recommending strict sobriety and gpod moral conduct . Sir C . —If that be the case , you shall have every assistance I can render you . When you hold your meetings , should you like my offlsers to appear in uniform or plain !
W . T . —In uniform , Sir , and shall consider they are sent to protect us against those blackguards who may desire to disturb ns . Sir C—Very good : but mind , now , if you should be brought into trouble . W . T . —Well , Sir , I could btar it better than most men : I have no family ; and my wife is able to support herself . Sir . C—But then it wobll militate against the cause . W . T . —Not in the least , Sir ; there would be found another ready to take my plate . Sir C—Still it must be a check : I know by experience in the army , when a regiment is deprived of its commander it requires a long time to repair the miachief .
W . T . —It would have no such effect npon us : things would go on jnst the same . Sir C . —Well , if you are prepared for all this , I can only say W . T . —I am , Sir Charles ; and I believe few men could stand imprisonment so well as I could : the knowing that I had done my duty , and the certainty that my countrymen -would protect my wife , wonld bear me up against everything of that nature . Sir C—( A laugh . y—Very good , Xillman . xery good ; and Mr . Leech , 1 " should lie to see him . W . T . —Yon'll find him a plain man to look at ; but posseasiug very great intellect . I'll leave you the plan , Sir ; if you perceive anything of an illegal nature , and will havo the goodness to point it out , we'll have it altered : we wish to keep within the pale of the law .
Sir C—In my official capacity I cannot promise to ; but I'll look it orer . W . T . —Thank you , Sir ; I'll endeavour to bring Mr . Leech to see you . Your most obedient , Sir Charles , and so forth . Fmis . Now , Sir , what do you think of this ! that the mere fit . ding a card with , " This ia our Charter " upon it ^ upon a drunken idiot , should lead to such au inquisition as this ! Well ,. Verita * vincit : and , again , Vincit amor patrice . Dear Sir , I am afraid you will think my letter troublesome , but 1 must tell yeu , before I part with yoa , our Leech is playing the very devil ; I wish we could keep the fellow out of those hell-holes , the factories ; he is worth hia weight ia sold , and then so modest with it . Talk about my diffidence , whv I
am a lion to him , that is , till he us roused , and then God shield and pity all that come within the lash of hid swinging tail . Why , moui of your highly finished gentlemen are pigmios to him ; his natural eloquence , his statistical knowledge , combined with a happy method of comparing things , are so persuasive and eonvinciuK , that few men are fit to contend with him . We intend starting him in some business if possible , but no doubt some of his friends will apprise you . I know nut how to leave jon without appearing fulsome or slavish servile . Dang it , good night , and that the Almighty may witch over you , is the prayer of Tours , in the cause of truth , | Wm . Tm . luam , Secretary ; . to the Provisional Executive .

Refusal of the Coroner for Middlesex to admit Reporters at an Inquest . —On Friday evening au inquest was held by Mr . Wakley , M . P ., at Regent ' 8-place , Gray ' s-inn-road , on the body of Thomas Harding , collector for the house of Messrs .
Whitbread , the brewers . On the reporters applying for admission at the house of the deceased , where the inquest was held , the summoning officer refused to do so without the authority of the coroner , who had not then arrived . On that gentleman ' s arrival , however , the reporters wroto a note to him requesting to be admitted ; after the Japse of a quarter of an hour the beadle opened the door , and said to the gentlemen , " Yon eannot be admitted , " and closed the door upon them . At the conclusion of the inquiry the reportera received from the coroner the following explanation as to the grounds of his exola sion : — If , " said Mr . Wakley ,, " I admit you into my court when held in a private house , I admit the public , which I conceive I have no right to do . I
shall always feel most happy to see authorised reporters for the public press present at my inquests , when they are public ones , and also in private houses , if they have the authority of the owner or occupier of such house to be present ; but I do , not feel that it is my duty to give an order in the latter case either way . " The reporters said that this inquest had keen at first appointed to be held at a pubhe-house . Mr . Wakley said not by him ; his warrant was for the jury to meet at the house of the deceased . Here the subject dropped . The following facts have transpired : —that the deceased had been found on Thursday morning with his throat cm on the floor of his bed-room ; he had been in bad health for some time past . The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity . "

A LAST ACT FOR A FRAGMENTARY DRAMA . ( From the Spectator . J When Nicholat NickUby was produced on the stages of several minor theatres , before the author had wound up the story to his own liking , he , not unreasonably cwnnlajrod-of-tlie-liberty ? "It may bo tnai 1 m . was forced to alter his denouement , lest he should be accused of want of originality . One of the playwrights had the ctolnws to reply , that the popular fabulist had . only hiiaself to blame , inasmuch as he might have put It eut of their power to annoy him , by publishing the
whole work at once I Little can be said in favour of the taste ( not to mention the morality ) Tel this apology ; aad yet we feel irresistibly tempted to act upon it in our own case . The ingenious fragment of a comedy entitled " The Bedchamber Plot , " is so far worked out , that nobody can entertain a doubt m to what m&st be the catastrophe . It is , we confess , treating the noble authors sant ceremonie to forestal them ; but human flesh and blood cannot resist th « temptation . It is the old story— " Video nieliora proboque deteriora sequor . " So here goes .
Act V . Scenb I . BueMnpkam Palo * ; the Queen , Prince Albert , Lord Melbourne , th $ Duke of Wellington , and Sir Robert Peel , are discovered in earned conversation at the curtain rises . Queen—But respect for the feelings of a lady , if not loyalty to your Queen-Sir B . Peel—Most gracious madam , this misapprehension—Lord Melbourne—Sir Robert is right ; your Majesty takes that matter too seriously . No recognized leader of his party ever breathed a syllable of disrespect . As to the intemperate partisans , they would doubtles havs bees rebuked could th&t havo been done without affording a triumph to the opposite party . In this country , where , unfortunately , low and vulgar peisoss must be conciliated , large allowances must be made for a Parliamentary leader .

"Littlb JohV and thb Marmosettks . —Whenever Lord John Russell comes near the Royal marmosottes , the little monkeys grin at each Other and appear to look most contemptuously upon the little Lord and with much complacency upon each other .

OFFICIAL REPORTS OF RAILWAY ACCIDENTS . ( From ihe John Bulk ) -: jr One thing cannot fail to strike the readers of what are to be consideied << official reports" of the dreadful accidents now of almost daily ocourrence-7-we mean t&e consolatory , or rather justificatory tone whici they invariably assume upon the " well it ' s no worse" principle ; which , added to the constant use of technical terms relative t * the engines and the roads , and all the rest of the infernal machinery , render a "detail from authority" rather curious than otherwise . For instance , we -will give here a supposititious account Of an awful event after the manner of the railroad officials ; admit-1 ting , however , that in the absence , of a knowledge of the technical terms We have supplied imaginary words of our own : —
SERIOUS ACCIDEKT . We regret to announce . that yesterday evening as th < down train from London to Grogsberry . which leava townat etght o ' clock , waswiUiiu half a ; mile of thi DttHderum station , It was met by the up train , consist ing of nineteen carriages , which , in consequence 0 some accident having occurred io the snags anc squashes , was npon the wrong line . The consequence were tremendous . All the carriages of bbtb traini ware thrown off the tail , and the engineer and stoker o the Bine Devil engine , owing to soine fault in thi working of the bagflag of the preventive jigj irere pre clpltated between the opposing engines , an 4 out t < pieces . The engineer has left a widow , but with onl ; two children ; and the stoker waa a single man . Ever attention was paid to their remains , which wer ' removed as soon as possible to the Cat and Magpi Tavern to await the decision of the Coroner ' s Jury .
Among the passengers five only were killed—thn gentlemen and two ladles ; and we are happy to « that , from the appearance of the bodies , they coui have -suffered comparatively nothing . A . lady in tl third carriage was injured by being dashed through tl glass window , which was up at the time . Her no , was severed from her face , as if it bid been done wil a knife ; it was , however , providentially , a plain pi nose , and ita loss Will therefore be scarcely felt . V are delighted to know tbat the fair sufferer is doing we About thirteen passengers in tho up-traln ( whlc owing to the aniggsea being dolloped , sustained ve little injury , considering ) were more or less injured . ;
gentleman from Barnstaple coming to town to see his daughter , just returjled frotti India , had both his eyes knocked ottt , but ? not without hopes of recovery ; a Captain in the | Taty ' brbjte his right leg and hU left Ktfn ~ . ll wi . jp ^ yld t ut B ar uot n ^ HghTMrni ^ amg ^ tatlon of the leg was considered absolutely necessary , but we are happy io say that the operation was pe » - totaed by an experienced surgeon in less than three mlimtea and a half , and the patient comfortably in bed at the Cat and Magpie at a quarter before ten ; every attention has been paid him , and the Directors have ordered that he shall have as much mutton-broth and black teaVM his medical attendants will permit entirely at their charge .
yiv « labovrera , who were in one of the carriages near the engine , were dashed out , and scattered upon the rail * . Providentially only three of them received any serious damage ; of those , one had bath his legs broken —and of the two others , one his arm broken , the other three of his ribs—they were immediately laid upon some clean dry straw , . and in due time received the attention of the medical gentleman ' s assistant . They are all doing Well , and in less than three weeks will be able to return to their work and families . Two young ladies , coming to London to join a parly of pleasure with some friends , were also hurt ; the eldest ( about sixteen ) had four of her front teeth knocked out , and her sister ( one year younger ) lost the whole of the lower part of her right ear by a fractured glass—but , except this partial disfigurement , we rejoice to say that they have suffered very little—indeed their escape is miraculous . r
Two hunters belonging to Sir Henry Harkaway were smashed to atoms ; but this was entirely owing to their restiveness and alarm , probably caused by the noise of the concussion . It is , however , a great consolation to know that no blame attaches to anybody connected with the railroad—and we ate delighted to say , that neither of the engines received any material injury . The Blue Devil was able to carry on the survivors the whale distance , and twenty pounds will repair the damage done to the Done Crusher . We regret to add that the gentleman whose leg was amputated last night died this morning . It is generally supposed , however , that bis death was caused by some internal injury . We hear , also , that he has been some time in declining health , and has left no family .

Etobably-10 , 00 « . -, ; IT . Why ia the franchise at ^ iresent restricted to a property qoaUnoaiion ? . From a sordid prejudice in favoui of property , which is valued above merit or the raas . lft What efiect has this partial franUoaer It seta the privileged classes to despfaa the vsprivileg « d , and to degrade and oppress tbenv—in short U treat them like slaves . \ IB .

If the working men were enfranchised , 'would they not vote for their own interests , exclusive fcfj or in opposition to , the interests of the upper classes ? < The interests of the working classes are identified with those of the country . 21 . But do not their interests vary ?—are there , not the agricultural , the commercial , and the manufacturing interests ? , These are all mutual , or reciprocal . 22 . Would not the predominant : influence of the working classes level all distinctions , and equalise all property ? ¦ ¦

What wonld be the effect of a repeal « f the Com Laws ? It would cause a temporary prosperity , but nothing more .
26 . How are you sure of that ? Machinery supplies faster than trade can quit 27 . Are the middle daises sufficiently numerous to ont-Tote the higher classes ? Yes ; but many of them are bribed or intimidated into subserviency—others , who stand in awe of both the other classes , remain neutral . . 28 .
