S &» SeS . > Sewto ** -, Mohtcomebvshibe . — We arc much hd * ttered * ttered at the notion of the land plan making him jljlter Walter his intention of going to America ! and preferring btoome home when the market is open for him . We give ihhefollthe following as the information he seeks . The price oof atflof a two acre share is £ 2 10 s ,, and 2 s . 4 d . for card , rrules , rules , and expenses ; tbe price of a three acre share is ££ i 15 s £ 3 las . and 3 s . id . for expenses ; the price of a four a acre s' acre share is £ 5 and is . -Id . expenses . The thing given i is two is two acres of laud worth £ 37 lOs- a cottage that cost 1 £ 50 , t £ S 0 , and £ 15 capital forever , for £ 5 a-ycar , and 3 per « cent . cent , charged upou the additional price of land , or the
; addit additional price of building ; £ 7 10 s . a-year for three : acres seres of land of the same quality , a house that co-ts £ 45 , * £ 45 , and £ 2210 s . capita ] - and £ 10 a-year far four acres of la : of land of like quality , a houfe that cost £ C 0 , and £ 30 capit capital . The profits of the society to go to the reduction < don of the rent or to the purchase of the land for the occn occupants . J . J . Rii . Rasfobd , MAXcnESTEB . —Mr . Radford ' s letter did not i not reach Mr . O'Connor until it was . too late to answer it , a it , as he was out of town . iYcBMCcBMC Spimt . — -We give the following letter just as it cam came , and desire all to go aud do likewise : — Sunday morning .
I Dear Sin , —I have this moment read your letter , and and before talcing breakfast , I conceived it to be wy oor bomtden duty to enclose you my small mite ( 5 s . ) totrai wards defraji : is the fate expense ? , and for the purpose of < of carrying oii the- war , and at ihe same time to tender JO * yon iny thank * as an individual , and as a member of thi the Chartist body , for your generosity in advancing mt money on our b-Jialf , As soonas our small body meet , I ! I shall endeavour to bring it before thvin , but like mi most of our friend ? , they are ground to the dust by the ch class to which 1 have the honour to hAon ; . Bear sir , 11 I remain , y . mrs truly . Robert Kidd . Teargus O'Connor , Esq . Jon & onx Winn , Eabxsu . t . —Thanhs for his honest letter , fl We never entertained the slightest doubt of the patriotis ism of the Barusley men . We rejoice to hear of their n nervous anxiety relative to our dear friend and brother C Chartist , O'Higgins , and beg to assure them , that a although not at all nervous , we are not the less
a anxious . 3 . 1 J . L ., Bubsley . —Yes . The amount allowed for buildi ing a . cottage on a four-acre farm , would more than « cover the expense ef one built upon Mr . O'Connor ' s ] plan . Hi U & . O'Cossob ' s promised work upon agriculture will be 1 bound by itself , aud "ill contain explanations of the former work , as well on a farming directory for the instruction of small farmers . We are induced to give ibis notice , because some parties have made application to know if they shall defer purchasing the work until completed . The work on Small Farms IS SOW
COMPLETED . r Pickatasce , Boltos . —We thank him for the newspaper , the finding of the inquest was published in last week ' s Star , and the admirable reply to the Jackass who wrote upon the land project , being confined to the points in Mr . Ass ' s letter , and not wishing to waste our space npon such rubbish , the answer to it would be out ot place . ' Z . Z . —If he should be balloted for the militia he can procure a substitute slave for £ 5 . . ' 3 LS . K . —Old Bufltry must have known we were too fully occupied to give opinions upon cases which would take half the week to advise npon . His not fair to expert answers to correspondents upon matters of heavy legal responsibility . Seth Xobbis . —We tliauk him for his better , while he must see the impossibility of re-opsuing the subject to which it refers .
Bio Agms , Loan Jons . —We thank our poetic friend ? for their ( . ftusions , but their muse was rather tardy in responding to our call , as poor Lord John is not likely even to get into the auction-room again . 31 b . Jous Cook , Upper Orwell-street , Ipswich , has made arrangements to supply the . Vortfwft Star on the Saturday morning . The L » xd , Ipswich . —A meeting will be held on this allabsorbing subject , at the Casile Inn , Lower Orwellstreet , on Sunday { to-morrow ) evening . C . B . A . —The lines are respectfully declined . sl Woekikc Mechanic , Manchester , commenting on tlie tyranny of the Literpr . nl employers towards tlie mechanics of that town , reminds the aggrieved workmen that they have themselves pr incipally to blame for their present slavery . The mechanics , engineers , tfcc ,
of Liverpool , were invited to join the society established on the 1 st of Xovember last , at Manchester , fur the purpose of counteracting the efforts of tlie ' " Masters Protective Society , " to which mutation they never Tespouded . Our corresiionde . it severely denounces what he calls " the aristocratical spirit of the Liverpool mechanics , " and tell ? them that if they desire the sympathy of tlie public , they must prove themselves worthy of that sympathy , by uniting with their fellow working men for the national protection of their order . Ub . Jobs Shaw , who , since the last convention , has been sojourning in Lancashire and Yorkshire , writes in most enthusiastic terms respecting the state of Chartism and thv yrogtess oa the Land Society in those counties . He apologises to the men of Manchester for his absence froin Carpenters' Hall on Sunday evening last , which
was caused by the want of a conveyance to take him from Bradford to Manchester within the- prcper time . Speaking of the ' Veteran Patriots * " and - Widows ' and Orphans *' ' Funds . . Mr . Shaw says , that whejj ;¦ certain pig-headed publisher in Bradford , who has fattened on the profit made by selling the NortJum Star , was applied to t-tr his aid to the above funds , be answered ( sptala-ig of the victims ; , he knew ' * nou"t about 'em—it Served 'em reel , " and refused to contribute any tiling . Mr . Shaw intimates that he will i > c in London - 'inaboataweek , " when he will be happy to render an account of his stewardship . JMosx Cdbbt tjR the Dcke of Xokfoik . —The following article appears in the Dtbats : —Everybody knows the old saying , " ous n ' avez pas de pain ! Eh bieu ! mangez de la brioche 3 " An illustrious peer in
England has just uttered a iwiKfein serious moodof nearly the same character , which has afforded a topic for the entire English press . At an agricultural meeting held Bithin his vast domain of Arundel , his Grace of Norfolk , the premier Duke of England , has suggested to the astonished peasantry around him a roost original expedient for supplying the want of potatoes . But mind it is not a discovery of his own . Oh , dear no * . He says that a lady , the other day , gave him the idea in a letter . Something -warm for the stomach is the matter in question . "Perhaps , " said the noble peer , ¦ * ' you are not accustomed to it , but it is impossible you should not like the taste . For myself I am very fond of it . Curiosity was greatly excited . The simple countrymen opened their large ears , and no doubt mouths as big . What is this unknown wonder ? It is
curry powder ! It is probably necessary for us to explain tliat curry is a compound of white ginger , Cayenne pepper , coriander , and saffron . There is a great consumption of it in India , and we , in Paris , have corrupted its name into carriek a TLidieane . This is what tlie Duke of Norfolk reconuneuds to the numerous population of his wide domains as a substitute for potatoes . " You must all know , " he adds , " that it L « Tery comforting to tlie stomach . I will go fur ther , and say that if a man returns home wetand exhausted , and has nothing better in the house than hot water , by putting a pinch of this powder into it , he will go to bed much warmer and more comfortably than he would hare done without it . " Thus , when you are cold and hungry , aud have neither fire uor bread , take soratearficka Vliidienne ; the receipt is excellent . ' How is
it that truffles bare nothezu recommended ft those who have no potatoes , there is so much similarity between them ! The man is well known « ho tried to habituate This horse to do without eating ; and relying upon tbe force of habit , daily diminished his feeds . When the poor beast died he exclaimed , " It is a great pity , f « r 1 had just brought him to lire upon nothing : " AU this , however , does not prevent the Duke of Norfolk from being an honourable and humane old geatleman , and an excellent landlord . The species of lonlioiaie with which hu has given this extraordinary advice to his tenants prove ? him to have the best intentions in the world . But , in truth , when the whole body of a nation is agitated by the question of how to obtain tlieir meaus of subsistence , it would be better to give them more serious answers . Itis already known tobe a certain
fact that in the manufacturing districts of Englaml , mothers give to their infants doses of o- ^ jum t » stop the cries of nature ; but to imagine the calls of hunger from t housands of men can be laid asleep by a little Cayenne pepper is , as we conceive , a strauge illuriou . Long ago was it that Bacon pronounced the revolt of the bslly to be the worst of revolts . Ta . Kesmbatmn of tue Exiled Patriots . — To the £$ & . <« of tits Northern Star , —Beak Sib , —As you have obliged me hyiasemughi row democratic journal two previous communications on the above important subject , I am thereby induced to solicit the same favour on this occasion . It -affords me the greatest satisfaction that the recent Chartist convention have placed this subject in such a prominent position before the people , and I trust that teus . nay . hundreds of thousands , will
raspond ta then- truly democratieal recommendation . But as there is a course which might ( and I lf-pe will ) Ije adopted , not recimiiier . ded by that patriotic band , from which lam confident die most important results would accru -, and being desirous that no available means should be left untried that would be calculated to ensure the restoration of these much injured aud persecuted patriots , and also , that should this effort ( I do hope it will be a determined effort ) prove unavailing ; that ire might not have the aapleasaut reAeetion that had we adopted sv . di meaus our object would hare been gained . I would impress on tlie tuinds of the tltstarsuf the Unitvd Kingdom thfe h » i . cratiTe necessity of forthwith waiting on , or coumiunk-atiitg with , their represautatives in thi House of Commons , as it must be palpable , to every onewho thinks on this subject , that unless the motion of the noble-minded Buncombe is
£ upp . > ried «» our agitation out of the House will he useless . Therefore , ye electors , let not this appeal to your sympathies be made in vain , hut with that resolnte importunity which will not hear of denial , urge on the attention of those who can give them freedom—the case of these victims of class misrule . In the sacred name of liberty dezn : i * id justice iu their behalf , and also state , in plain aud understandable language , that if they desire your support at the next election ( au croft not far distant ) they roustsupport the motion of the patriotic Duncombe , for a free pardoa of these men . For your encouragement I nill add , tliat this course has been adopted in the borough of St . Marylebone , aud favourable answers received . Up then , arouse , aud tibial this good work irirboui delay . _ Iteuieuibci- tliat united and determined we conquer , divided aud lukewarm we fail . Forward , forward , with firmness and resolution , aud success is certain . —Joas Absott , Sowers Town .

[ From Punch . ] A youthc there was of cbangefulle lotte , Now bryghte , now seedie broune ; Hee called hyinsslfe " a kiddie swelle /' And lived upon ye tounc . Hysyontlifulle pryme hee wasted alle In synne aud godlesse revell ; Aad oft played hee unlawful ! gaimes ,

Monday. Trabe —All Accounts'from The Man...
MONDAY . Trabe —All accounts'from the manufacturing districts agree in their evil forebodings , while in those articles only which warrant speculation , reduced pi-ices are maintained . Great caution is observable in every branch of trade , while hope attaches itself to an early demand for spring goods . The Stock Exchange . — The return to office ol the " tascixatixo flvascier , " and the fact of " John nothing strong enough for the 2 > facc , " aml having no chance of gaining tiesh by another go at the "to / t-
pot , " lias caused a " merry Christmas" amongst the robbers oa change . Public securities are tool-ring up , and shareholders arc bsginiiiuif to speculate upon a comparatively easy " sliding scale , " while exchequcr bills , the ministerial puke , beat higher , and bespeak confidence if not security . The Chun Laws . —There has been more rubbish spoken and written upon the subject of free trade within the last week , than was ever spoken or . written iu any ten previous Christmas weeks . The Alaryiebonc Vestry Petition for free tnu ' e lias already received over 7 , 000 signatures . " Don't they ivish theit may get it . "
Tub Ooii-v Trade . —By St . Paul and the -Varl Z «« c Express the work goes brarelj' on , and wheat is sliding down , down , downy ; so that the farmers are beginning to think of the Irishman ' s old joke , who , when he was told that what he liked so much in the apple-pie was a quince , replied "Aluslia , bloody wars ; if one quince makes un apple pi « so good , what the devil would an apple pic be . if it was all winces . " The farmers arcbegiuiirog to ask if the shadow of free trade is so good , wiiat the devil will the substance be ? PltlNCE ALBlUtT ASD THE 1 ' OOU OF WlSDSOK . —Hit Royal Highness lias demurred to the proceedings
commenced against him by the vestry for the recovery of the pauper ' s pittance out of the Flemish farm , held by its German occupant , and for which , not satisfied with . £ 80 , 000 a year , and many more thousands made uit from pickings off the horn s oi the paupers , he refuses to pay poor-rates . There is a large sura of money now due " at this Christmas time , while the German Prince is revelling on English taxes , aud the paupers have but a Flemish account ot their rents , for we tell the Prince Consort that the title of the poor to subsistence from the land is superioi to his wife's title to the throne .
Uepreskntatio-V of the West Ripi . no . —It appears that the cx-seerctary for Ireland , Lord Morpeth , is to have a walk over the Poor Law course this time , but next time he must" win to go iu , " Pontics . —The message of Mr . President Polk has thrown consternation amongst the conclave of European crowned heads ; the French press declaring that France was more insulted than England by the document . However , be that as it may , it is a regular notice to quit all futther intervention with American affairs upon the lloly Alliance . As we announced , in last week's Star , the question of European intervention with the affairs of the Republic has now been discovered to be the gem of the document , ami while we are talking of war the Yankees are raising a national militia of 2 < W , CO 0 . France . —The king of the Parricadcs has opened
the French chambers in person , in a speech full of the usual rigmarole , i ? i which he congratulates himself upon the good understanding that subsists between him and our Queen , and upon the assurance that ' whercver his sens appear they have added to the dignity of France , and concludes with the cheering intelligence that Ids grandsons arel increasing in mini her ; aud we learn that the king then rose , saluted the assembly , ami retired , amid the cheers of his puppets . Spain * . —If we had not had such a taste of Wing oppression and villany , and if we could draw oui conclusions from the opinions of foreigners , wc should decidedly say that the conclave of kings look with more dread upon a Whig than a Tory administration , as a proof of which , w « learn that " the resignation of Sir Robert Peel , and the restoration of Lord John Russell , was received with tremendous consternation at Paris aud Madrid .
Sir James Graham axo the Dubu . n ConronAtion * . —The Home Secretary lias at length consented to the presentation of tlie address of the Lord Mayor , Aldermen , and Burgesses of Dublin , and those worthies are to have the honour of tendering their loyalty to her Majesty , on the throne , at Windsor Castle , oii ' Saturday the 3 rd of January , exactly at a qwxrkr before three o ' clock . The Theatres . —During the Christmas week the managers of the several resorts of fun and frolic had amply catered for the amuwweut of old and -young . Wo remember no Christmas season when there appeared a greater competition amongst managers for public favour ; but that which had the greatest attraction for us , was the Marylebone theatre , where , to our great delight , we found our own social and political aspirations presented in full character dress , to the boxes , gallery , and pit . Everv working man
should visit this popular place of entertainment , and should exult at seeing his order , aud what is of moment to them , for the first time presented upon the British stage , without derision or obloquy . Iuelasu . —Conciliation * Hall . —The repealers arc literally flabbergasted by the evacuation of Downing Street by little John , and the restoration of Sir Robert Peel . We are assured that the conventicle was almost too small for the elongated faces that louked mournfully upon caeh other on receipt of tlie inlt-nigence . IJishopricks in anticipation , judgeships , commissioKersiiips , parsonships , attorney-generalships , solicitor-generalships , knightships , clerkships , baronetsliips , and chief constablcships were flying about thick as hailstones in a storm , and wc learn that Mr . Steele was addressed on all hands by his new title of " Sir Thomas , " and that Mr . Arkins swore he would change his Christian name to . something else , lest he should be mistaken for Tom Steele . Our own
correspondent sends the following account of what occurred in the family of the chandler to Conciliation Hall . This enlightened member of the association was promised a baronetcy , aud inn open mouthed to his wife to communicate tne glad tidings , and upon entering the shop , fairly out of breath , he met tlie thorough " sarvunt , " or " maid of all work , " J udy 0 'Fkmmgan aud thus bespoke her , — "Yerra , Judy , wcrc's iny lady ? " "Wisha , what lady , yer honour ? " "Why ; mylady , youb—t—h . V ' . ' Wisha , the devil a lady myseifs seen this hoijday . " " Had luck to yer sowl , you varmint , didn ' t you see your own mistress ? " " Oh , then indeed , I axes your pardon , slrirel didn't know tkat she was a lady . ' - ' " She is then go call her to me . " "Why , then she ' s finishing the dips , and if 1
calls her now perhaps it tis' -to spile them she would . " "The devil may . dip your sowl , go and call her 1 tell you . " Judy obeyed , and her ladyship made her appearance with the haif-tinished dips in her hand . " Well , * said Sir Darby , " you see what God has sent to us , I'm Sir Darby , and you are my lady Molly ?' " Oh glory be to God , but 1 always knew that God was strong , * and the Liberator was just . Wisha , come here Judy , and call me , mv lady ? " " Yes mam , I will .

How foolish to brcate a uwuster that may crush you .
Monday. Trabe —All Accounts'from The Man...
Crumbs of Comfort fob tub Farmers . —We give the following list of imported eatables , during the last week , precisely as we find it , and from it the ( armevs mayieam how , by a sum in the rule of three , to estimate the certain 'result of Sir Robert Peel ' s tariff of 1841 . Hero follows the mournful catalogue : — . Fokeign Provisions . —The arrivals of poultry and other articles of consumption during the past week for supply of the markets at this festive season , have keen of a remarkably extensive character , whilst the importation of cattle and provisions generally have been of more 1 hau the -average nature , A large quantity of corn of the vai ious kinds of grain known under that heaft ; flour , both wheaten and potatoe ; also vegetables of the latter
description , have arrived , consequent , doubtless , upon the reported scarcity of such articles in this country , and the necessity of their supply from extraneous sources . It will he seen that the arrivals , iu many instances , have been from quarters whence we do not usually look ftir such extensive supplies ; but wc will enumerate some of them , nearly iu tlie order of their arrival during tlie period named . —The Virginia , a sailing vessel from Jersey , brought 47 tons of potatoes ; the Pallas , from St . llalu , and the Commerce , from ltivaWaoeUa , both sailing packets , 17 tons of chestnuts , and 1 , G « 0 bushels of nuts ; and the Monarch from Ilnrlingen , o , n > i casks of butter . The General Steam Navigation Company ' s vessel . ! , Belfast , from Calais , brought 1 !) eases of poultry , a large quantity of eggs , vegetables of various kinds , and other
descriptions of provisions ; tlie Earl of Liverpool , from Ostend , i 8 packages of poultry , and a quantity of eggs and iutter ; and ihe Harlequin , from Boulognr , 39 packages of poultry , and othe ^ av tieies . The Erueste , from Uilboa , 1 , ( 1 00 fanegas of chestnuts ; the . Jane and Mavy , from Dunkerque , 135 eases of apples ; and tlie Gipsy , : rom Rouen , the large quantity of 100 tons of potatoes , the produce of Prance . The General Steam Navigation Company ' s ship Chaffi .-, from Rotterdam , brought iu addition to C cows aud 12 oxen , ( a small number in consequence of the roughness of the weather at this season , and the probability of the detention of the vessel , and inconvenience and delay to the passengers arising if a larger number were shipped , ) 37 packages of poultry , 22 lit" yeast , the extraordinary large number of 3 * 22 baskets
o f fish , in a fresh state , and an extensive cargo , consisting of seeds , cheese , tongues , butter , and other articles of Dutch produce ; and the Company ' s ship Ocean , from the same port , which had been despatched specially for the purpose , brought -10 oxen , 39 cows , 33 swine , a novel article of importation from that quarter , and no less than 620 sheep , being by for the largest number brought in one vessel to this country from the Continent . Notwithstanding the immense number of cattle on board this vessel , and the roughness of the weather , she brought them over , in consequence of her extensive dimensions and accommodation , and her seaworthiness , and landed them at the Brunswick-wharf , Blackwall , for their destination , in perfect safety . The Company ' s steam , ship Rainbow , from Havre , brought 101 packages
uf pews . The Batend , from llarlingen , Holland , a Dutch sailing vessel , brought 50 cows and 5 S sheep to the same destination as the steamers fnm Rotterdam . The Matchless , from Dunkerque , brought 925 bags of Hour , the produce of Prance ; aud a large number of sailing vessels arrived also in the middle of the week , from Holland and Prance , laden with oats , wheat , and grain , generally for the London market , in addition to the usual and numerous arrivals from the Russian , Prussian , and Austrian ports . A sailing vessel , the New Blossom , from Villariciosa , brought 800 bushels oi' chesnuts . The General Steam Company ' s ship Soho , from Antwerp , brought 74 baskets of smelts , and other articles ; and the Triton , from Ostend , U packages ( si poultry and a large quantity of butter and eggs , the
« hole being tho produce of Belgium . About the same period numerous arrivals of American produce have taken place at the port of Liverpool from the various shipping portsof the United States ; 11 mention of two or three 0 ! them will be sufficient to give a correct idea of their extent and importance . Tlie Roseius , f rom Sew York , brought 13 , 01 ) 0 bushels of wheat , nearly 5 , 000 barrels ' , >) tiour , 400 barrels of apples , & c . ; the Warren , from Baltimore , nearly 10 , 000 bushels of corn , 4 , 000 barrels of flour , 1 , 000 hams , & e . ; the Young Queen , ft out Montreal , 1 , 100 barrels of Hour , 2 , 51 ) 0 bushels of peas , 530 quarters of wheat ; and several other vessels have aho arrived bath at the ports of Liverpool and London with articles of a simitar kind from the various shipping ports of Canada , the produce of that place . A sailing vessel , the
lYientfs , from Gigon , brougiit 1 , 500 bushels of small , and 500 bushels ® f chestnuts ; and numerous vessels have also arrived from Lisbon , St . Michael ' s , St . Ubes , and other places in the south of Europe , laden with oranges and other seasonable fruits . The importations into the port of Hull , too , in thesame period of time , of cattle , provisions of various descriptions , and grain generally , from the uoi'thernports , have been of a very extensive aud important character . The General Sieam Company ' s vessel Tourist , from Calais , brought a large quantity of poultry , and their steam-ship Venezuela , which arrived at the Biuuswiek Pier , Black wall , on Friday , from Rotterdam , brought the huge number of 132 packages of Ssh , 20 packages of poultry , 34 boxes of yeast , 400 packages of butter , a large quantity of seeds , cheese , and other articles the produce of UitUund for consumption in this country . The Princess Victoria steamer , from Antwerp , brought 1 ) 1 packages of fish . The Flora , from
Hamburgh , 4 . 000 packages 01 butter , a very large quantity ; and the Ciiy o ; Boulogne steam-ship , from lloulogne , brought a large quantity of poultry aud other articles , the produce of France . Subsequent importations into Liver-VQoA huYtt al * u taken place of grain , ttour ,, apples , and other articles of general consumption and importance i ' rom the United States , It is remarkable among these various importations of provisions from the continent to iww great an extent tiie supply of fresh fish from Holland lias been increased of late , in addition to the numerous important supplies froai thvt country . The supply of smelts from Belgium also , are , of late , increased vastly ; while , we believe , the fish brought from Holland is principally fresh cod , of a very excellent , quality . Altogether from these enumerations of some of the importations , it will be seen that thcarrivals of provisions generally have been of an extensive nature , and at the present time presents a feature of interest and importance .
The arrivals ot cattle from the Continent into the port of London during the last week have comprised , according to ships' manifests , W 2 oxen , and 132 cows , 92 S sheep , and 37 pigs . The following statement of the imports of live cattle into England , duty paid ,, during the past year , is taken from au official source , corrected tip to last Saturday week : — From January 1 to December 20 , 1 S 45—Oxen and Cows .

' / Vntes and other ignoramuses now tell us , that there is no danger of wheat competition from other countries . The reader will see from the above list , that nearly one-thirteentluif the number of sheep imported during the year was imported within the last week , and that the very worst week for such traffic . It will also be home in mind that we named the autumn of 1840 as the earliest period at which the effect of Peel ' s tariff could be understood or realised . This is a Christmas-box for the farmers .
Stock Excuaxgk . — Notwithstanding the confidence * partially restored by the restoration of Sir Robert Peel , as although Sampson was a strong man , and Solomon was a wise man , neither of them could pay money if they ha . d ' nt it—so do wc discover the impossibility of the jobbers to discount the Prime Minister ' s confidence as profitably as ' they could wish ; and hence we find speculations of all kinds standing as they were , if not presenting rather a downward tendency .

Ireland . —Dan turseb Government Spy !—By a report which we give elsewhere , it will be seen that that good man and uncompromising patriot , Patrick 0 Higgtna , has been made the victim of the Liberator ' s jealousy and spleen . Merciful justice ! What has become of that heroic Irish mind which held an informer in the lowest detestation ? A natural feeling which has induced thousands to die gloriously upon the scaffold , rather than earn tlie anti-national designation of "King's Evidence . " We hare IHOVC than once stated that O'Comic ] 1 was the betrayer of " the heroic Bagnell Harvey , who was hunt : unon the
bridge at Wextord , he has been charged with tendering evidence for the Crown against O'Gorman Mahon , he nas denied it ; while we re-assert it . upon the authority of Sir Henry ilardhige , when he was secretary for Ireland ; and now he has tendered himself and his association as a detective force , to hunt down the only lion heart that was bold enough to prefer principle to treason .

THURSDAY . There is a great dearth of news to-day—we suppose it is owing to Christmas time : however the morning papers are not without a bit of fun , and as proof wc iiivc the following seven lines ana a-half from the first leader in the times of this morning It is not often that the old year has given way to the new with so sure a promise that the change of date would be a substantial change of times . History has its own calendar , which seldom submits to be trimmed to the periods of the sky ; tut this year by an auspicious coincidence , the days begin at once to lengthen , aud a new light to dawn upon the foi tunes of man .
Ah ! Ah !! There's a mouthful of moonshine . We presume our brother editor sat up to usher in the new year , and thus knocked two days into one , and would i ' uttiish us with it neir calendar of 182 days and alialf in the next year . Once upon a time a very stupid gentleman sat . ncxttoaverysharpand witty lady , and being deficient in chit-chat , he was driven to the endless resource the weather , or the season , for conversation , and observed , "don ' t you think mem , the days arc getting a great stretch ? " " Yes sir , I do indeed , " was the reply , " but I have heard that they generally dc at this time of the year . " We presume that the restoration of feci , the clatter of free trade , and the thunder of the protectionists , have not as yet had any effect upon the length of days . But of course our friend means tliat the new year was ushered in
with a new moon , but nevertheless if we may venture an observation upon onrfriemVsnewa ] manae , wec ; wnot see what possible effect the change of moon has had this year more than in any other year upon the length of the days . IVe have more moonshine it is true ; but we always understood that tho length of the day was estimated by the i * ising and the setting of the sun . But God help us poor ignorant mortals , we must suppose the moonshine of the Times has eclipsed the brilliancy of the sun , and as our friend would lead us into darkness , the moonshine is preferable for his purpose . Now we'll tell the Tmtt a story ; one by which an old Irishwoman measured the change of seasons and length of day . One Mrs . O'Shaughnessy was in the habit of commencing work by candlelight on the first of November , * and
continuing it to the first of March . Upon one occasion a tax was put upon tallow between March and November , aud of which Mrs . O'Sluuighnessy remained in blessed ignorance , as she didn't want her caudle . Well , upon the following first of November she went to Mrs . Brady for her candle , which had Tormcrly cost a halfpenny , aud when she had received it , she , as was her custom , tendered a halfpenny iu exchange , whereupon Mrs . Brady observed , " Ogh , my dear Airs . O'Shaughnessy , the halfpenny candle is a penny now . " " Ogh , yea , then Mrs . Brady , how is that my jewel ?" " Why the war , the war you know , Mrs . O'Shaughnessy , " "Ogli , yea , bad luck to their souls then , wasn't the daylight long enough for them to murther one another , but they must light by candlelight now ?"
The Corn Laws . —As we announced last week , the suspicion is very generally entertained tkat Sir Robert Peel's restoration , and the Manner in which it was thvnst upon him , will soften him down considerably below free trade temperature . Upon all hands , and in all quarters , it in now confidently asserted that Peel , ifhe ever had , hasnot at present , the slightest intention of proposing a repeal of the Corn Laws , and then snap , snap , snap , goes ministry after ministry , and-. bang , bang , bang goes the whole system . "When , rogues fall out , honest men come by their own . " Ireland . —Not a word , of news today from Ireland , but all about the colleges , and very little cf that .
The Stock Excuaxoe . —The money market in both countries has a very awkward appesu " . u \ ce , and speculators like the weather , are constantly changing their appearance .
Singular Accident On The Preston* And Wy...
Singular Accident on the Preston * and Wyre Railway . —An accident occurred upon thi- * line on Monday afternoon week , which , fortunately , was not productive of any personal injury to any of the passengers , but was still of a description to excite the most sew ' ousfeelings of ' . alarm .. Jt appears that about a dozen of fat" beasts , bought at a recent cattle sale at Lytlmm ^' Uall , had been brought to the Kirkhnin Station , for the purpose of being rewarded by the 1215 p > iH . Fleetwood train to Manchester ; and that the company ' s servants had succeeded in getting eleven of the beasts upon the trucks on which they were intended to be conveyed , but were twice foiled iu their endeavours to load a black bullock , the animal getting away twice , and each time taking the
line of railway towards Fleetwood . On the second escape the benst pursued its course until it met the train- asd , as it was not seen by the engineer in sufficient time to enable him to stop the train , its destruction became inevitable ( for it seemed resolutely determined to dispute the right of road with the tram , instead of giving the line and taking the side , as a more sensible beast would hare dono ) , and the consequence was , that , on its coming in collision with the front part of the engine , it was driven backwards , thrown down , and then forced forward for sonic distance , when the wheels of the engine , tender , and two first-class carriages passed over it , and so mangling the carcase into the most fantastical forrn , But
what was much more serious , the collision , or the joltings occasioned to the earlier carriages in passing over the beast , were the cause of throwing three second-class carriages off the r ? ils , without upsetting them , but inclining them so niuchou one side as to give ground for the most serious alarm to the passengers . Most happily , however , the weight of the luggage trucks behind ' , and the engine , tendi r , and first-class carriages bcl ' ore , kept the second-class in their state of falling equilibrium until the passengers were all removed uninjured , and they were afterwards brought on to Preston in the first-class carriages ; and some time afterwards the remaining part of the train was brought 011 to Prcstou by aneiher
engine . ShMi-ER Idem . — The Times commissioner has proved O'Connell to be a " middle-man . " — Wt always thought him between the knave and aiuoutcbauk . — Plinth ,
Loss Of The Fltlinuu W\K->L'Eamtik, Tiie...
LOSS OF THE FltliNUU W \ K- > l'EAMtiK , tiie pa pin , with seventy six of thk p assengers and crew . In our seventh page , will , he found a . brief . notice of the above dreadful shipwreck , the following additional particulars we give from the Paris Messenger of Monday :-. The Government yesterday received the painful intelligence of the loss of the steamer Papin , with one-halt ot the persons ou board . She left Cadiz at two tntheafternotn of the 5 th inst ., bound for Senegal , keeping a steady course of south-west half-west . Hie weather was fine on the 5 th ivnd Gth , but during the following evening the wind changed to west , and blew with extreme violence . About half-nast eleven
in the night of the Gth the vessel struck on a sandbank nine miles to the north of Muzagan , within three cables' length at the utmost , of the land . It was impossible to back the engine , as the paddles were embedded in the sand . For three hours , however , •• he resisted all the foro « of the waves . At four o ' clock in the morning of the 7 th she was full of water , the sea sweeping her deck . At five o ' clock the funnel fell and crushed several persons who were beneath it . At halt-past five M . Marey Monge , the French Consul at Mogadorc , who was at the extreme end of the poop , was washed by a wave down into the hold , and there perished . Lieutenant DeuU met with the same fate a few minutes afterwards . Upon this several of the crew threw themselves into the
sea , with the hope of saving themselves by means of spars floating around ; but most of them perished also , and it was onJv by making the most desperate efforts that some reached Azimonr , a small village three miles to the north of the place where the Papin struck . On the landing of these the Morrocomeii hastened to receive aud assist them . One gave his burnous to M . du Bourdieu , commissioner at Goree , who was a passenger in the i-apin . Camels laden with brushwood were brought down , a great fire was lighted , aud the natives dm all in their power to console and relieve the unfortunat sufferers . At eleven in the morning , the persons who had succcdeu in getting to land were only thirty in number . The mainmast ot
the vessel , which , until then , had remained firm , although the Papin was cat in two , fell and crushed about thirty persons . Inspired by a generous devotcdness , Douesnard , thesceond master gunner , Mini * beau , the second maim de maiuvuvre * , Dusforgcs and Natalani , seamen , aud Iloyol , a voltigeur , of the ard regiment of marine , who had reached the land , fitted out , with the authority of M . du Bourdieu , the whale-boat , which was thrown on the coast in order to make an attempt to save the persons who were still alive in the vessel . They succeeded in getting through the first breakers , but were afterwards upset and thrown on the shore , which they reached safely . In the meantime , Mr . Redman , the consular agent of England , at Mazagan , and our own
who had left on the same morning for Rabat , heard that a French vessel was wrecked on tiie coast , immediately turned back , and arrived at the scone of disaster . After having provided with the most active solicitude for the first wants of the shipwrecked persons who had reached the land , - \ J . v . ltedman exercised his influence to induce the Arabs to go on hoard , and bring off the unhappy persons who were still there . The Arabs showed on this deplorable occasion as much courage as humanity . In less than two hours they had brought to land fortyfour persons , carrying them on their shoulders , aud swimming whilst the tempest was still raging dreadfully . After convincing- himself by the information of three different envoys that there was no longer
any living person on board the Papin , and after having given the burial rites to eight unfortunate persons , who had been washed ashore , Mr . Redman conducted all the shipwrecked persons to Mazagan , where tiie most eager and attentive care was paid to them by himself and his three brothers . The letters which have been received from Mazagan are full of eulogium of the admirable conduct of Mr . Redman . Forty-four persons , who remained on the vessef , certainly owe tlieir lives to him , and even those who had reached the land are equally indebted to him for life , considering the state of sufferand destitution in which
ing he found them . When the news of the loss of the Papin arrived at Gibraltar , Sir Frederick Nicholson , commandant of the British naval force , hastened to write to our Consul , offering to send to the spot the English steamer Flamev with the necessary > uceom-s . The Fiamer , in fact , leftimnicdintely for Mazagan . M . Moray Monge , the Consul at Mogadore , M . Fleuriot de Langlc , the comiii . uider of the vessel , and all the staff of the vessel , with the exception of M . de St . Piene , a volunteer , have perished , with about half the crew , in ail seventy- five . The persons saved are seventy-six in number .
F The Gales In The Ohaiviyel. This Coast...
f THE GALES IN THE OHAiViYEL . This coast , within the la > t few days , has boon Again the scene of a number of peculiarly violent pities . The earlier part of last week , which had been distinguished for a remarkably hard , and biting frost , was succeeded in the latter part by wind and rain of a Jieisasly tempestuous character . On Friday the wind blew with so much three and violence on shore , that chimney pots in various quarters were thrown from their positions , branches of trees were wrested from thciv parent stems , and . window panes dashed to atoms . But the commotions ou laud were trilling to those to be seen ou the bosom of the sea . Far as the eye could reach , the billows seemed to lift themselves mountains high . No vessel could leave the port of St . ilelier's without risk of
exjgrieucing tlie untoward effects of their daring venture * nor could any craft safely direct its helm in quest of shelter to our harbour ; the hmnin ds of hidden rocks which gird our shore threatening destruction to both goers-out and comers-in . The mails , also , between Jersey and England , have especially experienced the effects of the storm . So fiercely raged the sea on Tuesday hist , that the mail which should have left the island at the hour of eight o'clock the same morning , was prevented front setting sail till twelve o ' clock at night , a partial calm having in the meantime supervened . The mail , also , which should have arrived in Jersey on Sunday morning early , did not make its appearance till yesterday ( Monday ) morning , about seven o ' clock . Nor is it with respect
to the delay of the mails that inconvenience has been . alone felt . During the last eight days the communication between Jersey and the coast of Fraucc has been completely at a stand , no vessel , in spite of the promise of reward , being able to summons sufficient courage to set out upon the enterprise . A considerable number of English gentlemen reached Jersey by the Wonder on Sunday morning week , en route for France , for the purpose of spending a " memo Christmas" amongst their friends in Brittany . The vessel , however , which should have carried them onwards on Monday had been itself stormbound in France for two days previously , aud had been unable to reach Jersey to convey passengers to their destination . Monday , Tuesday , and
Wednesday passed away , and the Lord Collingwood was still confined in the harbour of St . Maio . Christmas morning dawned , and our wayfarers found that it was " all up" with their " nicrrie Christmas . " Some would have immediately returned again to England , but , unfortunately , tlieir final * resolution had not been made till two hours after the last vessel , tor the week , had taken its departure . A full half of these " unfortunates" set sail lor their native land again , on Sunday morning , while the other moiety , either plucking up a magnanimous resolution , or having a few further days at command , waited patiently till yesterday , when a French cutter departed with them for Jersey for the desired shore .
A peculiarly unfortunate instance of disappointed hope is evinced in the case of one of the voyagers who returned to England . It was ihe case of < military officer who had not seen his wife for the long space of twelve years , having been absent from home on foreign service during that protracted period . She resided in Brittany , and at the present time he had only eight days tu spend with her . Melancholy to relate , these eight days were spent at a distance from his spouse of only four hours ' sail —but inexorable duty repeated the ^ wellknown maxim , that "time and tide wait for no man . " He was obliged , to bid , in heart , his spouse farewell , and will not be able to behold her for six months to come " , —Jersey Times .

TueuteRuv . R . Aspusd . —The death , on Tuesday morning , Dec . 80 th , after u Ions ; ; md puhit ' ul illness , of the Rev . Robert-Asplaud , the distinguished Unitarian minister of Hackney , lias created a blank iu the . religious , political , and literary world which cannot easily be supplied . For the greater part of the last half century lie maintained , with increasing reputation , a high character as a preacher amongst English Nonconformists . Rarely has any man by his noble form , melodious voice , iiud strong powerful sense , communicated mere digi . ity tu the pulpit . In most of the leading religious " and * political questions of his time Mr . Asplaud took an active and prominent part . In politics his sympathies were with the
Whigs , with some of the most distinguished men amongst whom he wag on intimate terms . As » writer lie was remarkable for conciseness and strength . Few men could convey so much meaning in the same number of words . Sarcasm lie knew how to use with au effect thitxwas crushing on the unfortunate party at whom it ' was levelled ; and it is due to him to say that it was generally deserved in the quarter towards which it was directed , lie -. vas hearty , courteous , generous , plain-spoken , self-relying , ready to employ his talents and influence-to promote the welfare of any one he thought worthy of them , * ami uniting with these qualities a detestation of cant and pretenders oi all sorts , that was equaled only by his love of truth and goodness , wherever they appeared in a genuine form . —Momiuq Chronicle .
Oi'positios to tiiePkoposal to Raise tiik Mium . —The members ami friends of tiie Birmingham Peace Association have resolved to hold n public meeting : in tho Town Hall here , in the course of a few weeks , to protest against the determination of government to organise the militia , and to pc-titioH Parliament to introduce an arbitration clause into all our treaties with iorcijn powers .
