It is no other than a poem in ten books , by a Chartist , xnd who boldly sets his name and his p-ofessKtt of Chartism on the title-page . It is plain that he glories in his political faith more than in his poetry ; nay , bw ™» is but the vehicle of that faith . Vet , neverthdeoE ,, it a vigorous and most efficient vehicle .

Lbuax Buscharo And Douglas Jkrrold Had Serious Thoudits Of Joining Lord Byron In Greece;
Lbuax Buscharo and Douglas Jkrrold had serious thoudits of joining Lord Byron in Greece ;
Thev Were To Become Warriors, And Assist...
thev were to become warriors , and assist the poet in the liberation of the classic land . Many a nightly wandering found them discussing their project . In the midst of one of these discussions they were caught in a shower of rain , and sought shelter under a gateway . The rain continued ; when their patience becoming exhausted , Blanchard , buttoning up his coat , exclaimed , " Come on , Jerrold ; what use shall we be to the Greeks if we stand up for a shower of rain ?" So they walked home , and were heroically wet through . —SirE . L . Bidder ' s Life of Blanchard .
Case oe Ltkcmsg . —A noted negro thief , by the name of Yeoman , having been arrested near Albany , Baker county , Georgia , and subsequently discharged by Judge Warren on a writ of habeas corpus , was immediately re-arrested , says the Savannah Ittjmblican , and , under charge of Messrs . Mallory , I ' -rinson , and Adams , conveyed at once to Florida . On his way thither he confessed to the gentlemen in whose charge he was , that he was one of an organised gang of negro thieves and murderers ; that during the Florida war they had carried on their operations under the guise of ' Indians ; and that , since the war , they had stolen negroes 'in Thomas and Lowndes counties , Georgia , and Jefferson county , Florida , to the value oi over 10000 dollars . He confessed his
, crimes in detail , and offered them 1 , « . «¦<• dollars , east , for his release , alleging that , it" carried to Florida , he knew he should be unceremoniously hanged . On his arrival in Jefferson county , Florida , the citizens assembled to the number of ninety , and , after an investigation of the facts , took ti formal vote , which resufieJ—sixty-seven in favour of hanging , and twenty-three against it . Yeoman was accordingly executed at twelve o ' clock on the 2 nd January . The [ irincipal reason for this summary execution of the aw was the insecurity of their gaols , and the fact of his having a band of accomplices iu the community ,
who would , in all probability , have effected a release . A reward of 1 , 000 dollars has already been offered b y the citizens for the arrest of others known to be connected with him who has already suffered . One of those implicated was arrested a few days since , wo are informed , aear Newton , Baker county , Gcorjiia , andaftcr the infliction of seventy-hvulashes , released , on the pledge that he would leave fhe state iu five hours . The Republican received these particulars from a gentleman in Baker county , who stated that he received them from others , and therefore that they might not be quite accurate ; but as to ihe main facts he had no doubt . —New York ¦ k'V . mj . l of Comwcw .
Thev Were To Become Warriors, And Assist...
NO VOTE . ' NO-MUSKET !! After thc constrained admission ef the Home Secretary and Minister at War , as to the fact that a new Militia Bill was in course of preparation by the latter functionary , there can no' longer remain a doubt upon the mind of the most incredulous , that tnemititiaisnotonly to be " embodied , " or called out for " training" but that it is to be embodied for " actual service . " Who , that understands the chicane , thc jugglery , and mystery of diplomacy , could have anticipated any more direct or satisfactory answer than that given by tho Minister at War ? His language amounts to this , and no more— - "Oh !
it is true that her Majesty ' s Ministers have been thinking about the thing , and talking about the thing ; hut , then , they do not wish to disclose their cogitations , lest it might serve to apprise the Americans of our intentions , and , therefore , WE , the paternal Ministers , would recommend to the people , for THEIR OWN SAKES , to abstain from any precautionary measures until . we shall be prepared with OURS , READY CUT AND DRIED , and when it will be TOO LATE to marshal thc peaceful mind of the country against the WARLIKE NECESSITIES OF THE MINISTER . " Why talk of the Militia Act at all , if there were not some strong apprehensions of war ? and why order £ , 000 SUITS OF REGIMENTALS , if the foregone conclusion was not entertained that war was inevitable ?
Children are frightened by hobgoblins , and birds by scarecrows , but we much doubt that a similar effect would be produced upon the back woodsmen of America , by seeing the forty-two thousand suits of English regimentals stuffed with straw , and propped like Bryan Boioihnie ' s soldiers at the battle of Clontarf . Again we repeat that over security- has ever been the curse of the popular party , and the annals ot Parliamentary usage should Iongsincehave
convinced the working classes that a government , in whose election they have no voice , stands in precisely the same relation to them that the cat does to . tlie mouse—stealthy , quiet , noiseless , aud watchful , until the pounce can be securely made , and the prey securely clutched . This melancholy indifference may , in many instances , have arisen from the fact of parties , otherwise hostile to government , having , nevertheless , an equal interest in withholding lrpm the people a knowledge ot their own power .
In the present instance , however , we are relieved from this double infliction—wc are protected against the double shot from this double-barrelled gun , inasmuch as a highly respectable and influential party , whose aspirations are of a nobler nature than that of subserving the purposes of a government , who , in return , will countenance them in the hoarding up of gain upon the wildest speculations . We have a party , strong in intelligence , powerful iu wealth , and
influential in character , . who have tendered their services as moral force officers , to fight thc moral battle against physical oppression . Wc do not expect the leaders from the ranks of the Protectionists , nor yet of the Leaguers , to aid us in this triumph of knowledge over brute force , but we do rely upon the cooperation , upon the hearty cooperation of such men as Joseph Sturge , and the members of the Peace Preservation Society , to aid ns in our assault upon old and worn-out barbarism .
The report of the anti-militia meetings held at Manchester and Leicester , and which wc publish , will be read with more than ordinary satisfaction by the people , while we feel no little vanity in the perfect coincidence of opinion that exists between ourselves and Mr . Sturge upon the subject . Mr . Stlkoe thinks , with us , that thc wretch who becomes a wholesale man-catcher , by the sanction of militia clubs , is more criminal than the hired volunteer , a portion of whose business it becomes to perform the service of recruiting , as part of his duty ; a dutv of which he was perfectly aware at the period
of his enlistment . He further agrees with us that the only legitimate applications to be made of funds in such a case , is for the protection and support of the families of those who shall suffer for their passive resistance to tyranny . We have received twenty pages of brutal and vulgar abuse from a wholesale recruiting sergeant , with whose trade , it appears , our article of last week has considerably interfered . This gentleman has our full permission to be secretary to a benefit society , —to have abandoned the
Chartist ranks for mote profitable employment , —> io be the secretary of racing club ? , and also to be crimp sergeant for the government , provided that his prey be selected from creatures as worthless as himself ; while he may rest assured that his brutal language and vulgar abuse shall not deter us from " putting hay . upon his horns , " as a warning to those who , if not thus marked , he may yet live upon the fears of substitutes , whom he had prostituted to the inglorious support ef an inglorious cause . .
By reference to our columns it will be seen that a National Anti-Militia Society has been established , upon the principles laid down by Mr . Sturge , and we invite all , without distinction , to a perusal of the rults by which the objects of the society are to be practically carried out . The redemption money is low , arid is nevertheless fixed by , and based upon , minute calculation ; a fact which proves the interest , the enormous interest , that the officers of militia clubs must derive from THEIR HONOURABLE
SERVICES ; and therefore we are not astonished that our . peaceful bombshell of last week should have caused terror and dismay in the ranks of our slavemakers . We know of no more powerful lesson that true philosophy could read to ' bloated and confiding ignorance , than that of thc nation uniting as one man to pay exemption money , rather than serve in the ranks of tyranny . In this struggle we shall not be left mentally or fiscally alone ; we shall be aided by the heads , the hearts , and the pockets of all good men .
The fact of the Peace Preservation Society having united with us in this holy struggle , and the fact of Mr . Stciige being extensively known and universally beloved upon the Continent of America , establishes a fair hope that our labour in behalf of peace , and in the propagation of democratic principles , may recommend thc Chartist party as a valuable auxiliary to the New World , iii its struggle for the overthrow of old abuses . We have already pointed out the difference between a volunteer and a " crimp ; " between the man who voluntarily tenders his service as a human-butcher , and
hini whose poverty makes him a prey to a barbarous practice . The one man contracts to be flogged ) contracts to be shot , contracts , as far as ho is concerned , ' to merge the civil code into martial law ; when he volunteers as a soldier he voluntarily relinquishes the slight protection that civil law accords to him ; when he volunteers as a soldier , he abandons all the social usages of society , and hands himself over , bound neck and heels as a bondsman , to such tyranny as expediency shall invent , to such cruelty as thc
necessity of the times may justify . As a human being he is degraded , as a politician he is gagged , as a reflective being he may live upon the sorrow of his thoughts , or cheer himself upon tueiv assumed buoy aucy , but lie has relinquished the name of man . if he " is noisy he is not merry , but "he does beguile the thing he is by seeming otherwise . " Of thc worst that can befall him , he has been a willing purchaser , with full notice of the conditions under which he exchanged partial freedom for everlasting slavery .
Upon the other hand , the ^ unprotected slave , who is " crimped" by the snares and the wiles of one outlawed from society , but pampered by tyranny aud li-ked into a fashionable appearance by the dastardly fashion of the age—the poor simple soul who is torn from his aged sire ' s side , or his crippled mother ' s arm , ; who is snatched , perhaps , from an infant family , whose prop , whose solace , and piotectirhehas been , nevertheless' dragged from the
cottage nook , which , without htm , is a dull vacuum ti the longing tearful eye that settles upon the loved spot , but misses the loved but s mp ' . o orr . ament . Ah ' , let lungs and princes ,
Thev Were To Become Warriors, And Assist...
peers and potentates , lordlings , squires , and pampered . merchants— -let the great , and therefore the heartless , t & ink and talk as they please , ' but t & cy never have—they never can—love , honour , or-respect their flighty , frisky , offspring as the humble « ottager loves his simple , though unadorned and ignorant child , Wc do not love them as well we hate them for their tyranny , we despise them for their heartlessness ; and yet such a creature as wc have described-AN UNWILLING VOLUNTEER ' —a purchaser without notice—a non-subscriber to the conditions on which he is forced into the ranks of blood , —this creature is bound by the same penalties , and amenable to the same laws , as him who embraces the profession from choice .
Many young mechanics haveapnlicd to us to knou if there is danger to be apprehended from the publi cation of our several articles headed
. NO VOTE , NO MUSKET ! in pamphlet form ? The question is the highest compliment that could be paid to our daring , for if THERE IS DANGER we have been the first TO BRAVE IT , and if the law considered it treason wo would STILL BRAVE IT ; for if it is treason to prokct the honest simple , against the snares of the knavish—if it is treason to war with right against might ; if it is treason to prefer the oppressed to the oppressor ; if it is treason to love your country and hate its tyrants ; if it is treason to prefer balmy peace
to . bloody war ; or if it is treason to present the voice of knowledge to the cannon ' s roar , then do we glory in being a traitor ; while we would caution tyrants in time , and tell them , that although " every bullet ha * its billet , " yet they can neither stab thought , fence with opinion , nor shoot down principle . These are our peaceful arms ; weapons which , if properly used by the DRILLED MIND OF FREEMEN , will eventually achieve the triumph of justice over injustice , oi'knowledge over bigotry and intolerance , of liberty over oppression and misrule .

. ; LABOUR AND . CAPITAL . THE TEN HOURS ' BILL . The too long deferred concessions to legitimate and modest demand not unfrequently change argument into remonstrance , remonstrance into threat , and threat into revolution . It was so with France fiftyfour years since , . and bo with America seventy-four years since . The people of those countriesrespectively and respectfully set about the ' eorrcction of abuse in the modest language of tame remonstrance , which neglect , insolence , and disregard ripened into
defiance and revolution . The refusal to apply the pruning-knlfe to the branches of corruption led to the uprooting of the old borough-mongering system . We were deaf to the appeals of the West Indian slave , until his voice for emancipation was too loud longer to be resisted . Ireland asked for justice , prayed for justice , begged for justice , and crawled for justiceit was refused , and now she demands self-government as the only possible mode of achieving it . Thus we find , that it is dangerous to resist legitimate demands when those who make them would be satisfied with
prudent concession . The operatives of this country have , since the introduction of thatpowerfulcompetitor , Machinery , evinced a tameness under unmerited suffering , which nothing but the most stringent laws could force them to endure . Tho most fortunate portion of the labour , ing class received enormous wages for attendance on the monster during its infancy , and laughed scornfully at the opposition of th « so who were the first sufferers from its influence . Nearly the whole race of England's pride , the old hand-loom weavers , were not only starved but outlawed , by this new competitor , and the power that it conferred upon its owners .
The time has arrived , however , when the monster has become too strong even . for those whose labour is yet required to work it , until at length all now , without exception , stand aghast at the ascendancy it has assumed , and to correct which they have joined in the modest request for some diminution in its hours of working . They have commenced with ten hdurs , which , by contrast with the hcretoforealmost incessant labour , at first stiikes . them as a boon worth contending for ; but ere long , as resistance grows haughty , knowledge becomes powerful , and calculation irresistible , the man who proposes a Ten Hours Bill will be looked upon as a tyrant .
Wc do not mean to infer that the immediate concession , of this paltry boon would be instantly followed , by a demand for further remission , but we do assert that the longer withholding it will hasten the demand for something more . We have now had a better opportunity of criticising the wholemcasures of Sir R . PEKL ,. and while we heartily applaud them as a means to an end , we assert , without thc fear of contradiction , that unless followed by an immediate and statesmanlike calculation , in which the wants
of labour and power of machinery shall be fairlymeasured and equally balanced , that they will pro . duce evil instead of good . ' The labouring classes ol this or of any other country have never received from their rulers more justice than they had of themselves the power to extort ; and if this rule has held good in countries where the distance between the rulers and the ruled has not been marked by thatstronglineof demarcation whieh separates employers from employed in England , it must be felt there with increased severity and weight .
The working class knowledge of this country has , since the period that the power of machinery became dangerous to their order , been mainly directed to the question of restriction ; and that knowledge , heretoforesectionalised , is now being embodied into an ir . resistible national will to achieve , by law , what it could not accomplish by Trades' Unions or striken The opponents of the Ten Hours' Bill may presume a false security from the desertion of Lord Asjukt ; while our conviction is , that it will but nerve the disappointed for the struggle , and encourage them to further action . We can sympathise with those from
whose toil the immense amount was wrung , when they speak with becoming horror of the fact ol leviathan capitalists amassing million * of money , while those from whose sweat it is extracted are consigned to premature old age , or a lingering existence iu a Poor Law bastile . Our voice has been raised when labour ' s ear was deaf ; we have endeavoured to incite the people , not to revolution , but to thought and self-respect . We have shown that all laws which hare not necessary restriction and equitable distribution for their object , will fail to achieve for the working classes ; a single partiole of benefit ; and so
tiresome and multifarious are the grievances with which thc labouring classes have now to contend , that we are constrained to approve of a commercial policy , in the mere hope that out of chaos order may spring . It would be impossible to balance the good and the bad likely to result from Sir Robkut Peel ' s astounding measures , or to treat them otherwise than as a means to an end . We can sympathise with the broad-silk weavers , whose trade is threatened ; w « can sympathise with the paper-stainers , whose interests are offered as a sacrifice , not to national necessity , but to mere aristocratic caprice . Indeed
we know of no two branches of trade upou which the Minister , has made a mors dangerous assault ; while we . cannot discover one single advantage which the working classes will derive from tho proposed alterations in those two departments . Nor can we sec why the labour of a paper-stainer should be sacrificed to the amount of five-sixths , while thc landlordsarenotcalleduponto sacrificc more than six and eight pence in the pound , or one-third . But , yes —we can see it ; it is easil y demonstrated—the landlords are represented , and therefore their opposition is dangerous ; while the paper-stainers and silkweavers are unrepresented , and therefore become an
easy prey . We shall recur , for argument sake , to thc admission of Sir Jamks Graham , that one in every ten of the labouring classes was receiving parish relief . Let us suppose that there are three millions capriciously employed in manufactures , and that 500 , 000 , or a sixth of the whole , are now but partially employed , and sometimes wholly idle , while the prescribed
.; Labour And .Capital. The Ten Hours'bi...
period of labour is tweiYpWws a ^ iqr . j If , upon the other hand , the w < n * k t * fc "time wavre ^ ttcetl to ten hours a-day , inaamuch & tai is to twelve whit ^ e hundred thousand is to ffiwe millions , it natm-ah ? follows that the whole three millions now capriciously employed would be then wholly employed ' . Neither do we attach more importance to this question as one of restriction , than as one of increased recreation and thought . Let those who are not over-slaved and benumbed by labour , have two hours to devote to reflection , and the fair presumption is , that that reflection will run in the current of progression .
The English people , inured to toil , would not be likely to degenerate into idle licentiousness ; although we may not tolerate or justify intemperance , we can make the distinction between the man who rushes , maddened with toil and addled with noise , from tho rattle-box to tho gin palace , and him who knows that he has two hours spared from slave labour , which may be applied to better and more creditable pursuits . As , therefore , it would be impossible for the wisest or most far-seeing Prime Minister to embody all the national grievances into one category , and abolish them by one enactment , we invite the silk-weavers , the paper-stainers , and all other trades whose in . teresis are threatened by Sir Robbri Peel ' s measures , to join , one and all , in the loud shout ot restriction , and a Ten Hours ' Bill .
What is threatening to the unjust influence oi thc protected masters , must be protective of the poor rights of their slaves ; and there is no measure more threatening to their monopoly than a diminution in the hours of labour We aver that if the option was given them to-morrow of unconditional and immediate Repeal of the Corn Laws with a Ten Hours ' Bill , that they would reject it as an unjust interference with their existing rights and interests . It sounds charitable and philanthropic to sympathise
with the agricultural labourer , but let them look at home . In some of the manufacturing districts they will find that twenty-eight years is the mean of life while , in the more healthful employment of agriculture , it is fifty-two . Their slaves commence a "BLOOD RUN" through life , like the young and pampered racs-horse , and , while they are yet young in years , they become crippled in limb , stunted in form , numbed in intellect , and prematurely old , before they have arrived at the natural stage of manhood .
The agricultural labourer is younger , happier , more cheerful and healthy at the age of seventy than the constantly employed operative is at the age of twentyfive ; his young blood is sapped out of his veins—he was bom a slave , bred a slave , lives a slave , and dies a slave , Not a glare to the Minister , not a slave to the law , not a slave to system , nor yet to his master , but a slave to the accursed disunion , to the blighting jealousies of his own order . It is a fact , that a people will have the precise form of government that they are entitled to ; and the very existence of a government , especially in a country where speech is
free , is the strongest proof of thc popularity and acceptation of tbat government , because at any given moment the most rank and cherished abuses are ready to surrender without a struggle to the united voice of a united people . We will prove that the English people do not want liberty , do not deserve liberty . We speak of tlierti as a body . If liberty was their aim , the people of Lond on alone could achieve it in ten -short days ; could achieve it without the slightest infraction of the peace ; but they are not prepared for it . They would rather read , murders , rapes , and
police news , than study those questions , a knowledge of which is indispensable to their prosperity . To reform a government , a people must first reform themselves . We now invite them to a wholesome commencement . The struggle between the landlords and cotton-lords is at hand ; each will gladly take advantage of the necessities of the other ; and ¦ js no question is more threatening to the haughty capitalist than that of diminishing the hours of slave labour , and as no measure would be better calculated to relieve landlords , shopkeepers , and housekeepers from the heavy burthen of poor-rates , let the TEN HOURS " SHELL " burst like magic amongst them , and let the people [ hail the explosion
with an incessant echo from without . Now is the time—the very time—the exact time—to force this measure in all its bearings upon the consideration . of Parliament ; for let the people rest assured that out of the strife of contending factions alone can they expect deference to their will . When the battle is over , tlie national struggle will commence , and let us Ik prepared with two hours' breathing time after the day ' s toil to take counsel for future operations . Nothing can be more unnatural than prescribing equal length of labour to the sickly and robust—to the we ik and the strong ; and we pant for the time when lathers , mothers , and their children shall eat , drink , sleep , work , and play according to their respective age , strength , ability , and inclination .
Cobden And Free Trade. Cobdkn Has Writte...
COBDEN AND FREE TRADE . Cobdkn has written a letter in the Times newspaper to the tenant-farmers . Nothing can be more dangerous to the character of an uneducated demagogue , than a rush from an unlettered , lenient multitude , to a criticising , ill-natured press . Cobden blustering for a repeal of the Corn Laws is one thing , and Coddbx ARGUING for the nieasura is another , and a very different thing . His York speeches were only for his York audience—his Manchester
" SAYS" for his Manchester audience—his town talk for his CHEAP BREAD admirers—and his country predictions for his rural expectants . Now , all this was very well . No man is disreputable in that state of life to which it has pleased God and speculation to call him . God made Cobdkn an extremely good man—speculation has made him an extremely foolish one . Of course , at such a critical time , we cannot to be expected to make a very lengthy comment upon a rather long letter ; nor can we make room for it , to the rejection of other more important matter ; but we cannot withhold the two following paragraphs from immediate criticism : —
How different would be the operations of an immediate repeal of the Corn Law . There would then be no Block of foreign corn waiting for the opening of our ports . Nobody expected last year in Poland or America that the English Corn Law would be repealed—nobody pv . pared for it—not a bushel of grain was raised upon the clmnce of suck an unlooked-for contingency , Ig there an intelligent fanner in the kingdom that will not at once exclaim , "Ifmaretohaveartpealof the Corn Law , give us it this spring , uhen the foreigner is unprepared for it , and when not a single qiuirter of com soion after the news reaches hm « hi 6 c brought tothis marketia lessthaneighteenmonth . " llut the present is , beyond all comparison , the most favourable moment ever known for abolishing the Corn Law . If ever it could be repealed without eren temporary inconvenience to the farmer , this is the time . There
is a scarcity tit present oyer nearly all the continent . One-half of Europe is competing for the scanty surplus stock of grain in America . Million * of our countrymen are deprived of their ordinary subsistence by thc disease of the potntoe , and they must be sustained at the public erpeuw up » n a superior food . Bo what we will , we cannot lUiring the present year , secure low prices . Abolish the Corn Ijho to-morrow , andstUl wheat must rise during the spring < HKf summer . If the farmers . had the power of ordering time and circmnRtnnces , they could uot contrire a June ture more favourable to them than the present for the total and hiimudi . tte repeal of the Corn Law . Kay 1 believe -hut if the Corn Law could be ubolUhed by an edict to-morrow , the farmel * would never make the discover tlZr * ' i ,, JUri ° CffeCt * ™ W their
Now then , there is a sound legislator , a judicious uol-iuutu , and a CANDID FRIEND < We want an immediate supply of food ; and Cobdbk says , even with total repeal , prices mustriso . Well , then , for two years , at all events , of tho terrible three , tho operatives , and all who do not grow food , have no infarat in the qncrtion . Yes-we beg pardon-Condm tells the farmers thatPE m , ' measure will in lure timi , the most . Well , it was intended that the IT ^ l 8 h 0 Uld ffiake an IMMEDIATE bAORlrlCE to the consumers . Again , how childish , to write about catching the whole world napping , and to talk about Buromuig ftraga nation *' -but , above all , how repugnant tho publication ot the precious document must have been to the Thimdcror , a * it leads us to the conclusion , that when Mured of all trammels , the would- is waichim * its

opportunity to BURST us witli cheap food . Ah !!! The Times saw the folly , and therefore gratified the fool . If ever there vtas Btrong argument against & n * alteration at all in . the Corn Laws , Cobdek has given it ; and if it was possible to point out a preference for Pbei / s proposition over any and all others , Cobdek has done it . Cobden staving off the CURSE OF PLENTY for eighteen months is more than amusing . So that , upon the whole , we shall the more eagerly go for the remainder of the ALL-MIGHTY measure , as it is not calculated to injure our J' TENANTFARMER " , FRIENDS . Alas ! it is the monster INDUSTRIAL RESIDENCE that haunts the fears of the heretofore protected plunderers of Labour .

Geoege Webuek.—* The Song Is Inadmissibl...
Geoege Webuek . —* The song is inadmissible . T . It . Smart . —Your sensible letter is so well written that we are loth to " burke" it , but we forbear to publish It in mercy to the person alluded to . Besides , it is not necessary to throw water on a drowned rat . Poland . —Will Edward Decker say if the " Song for the Poles" is his own production ? Explosions in Coal Minss . — Sir , — In looking over your paper of last week my attention was arrested by an account of another of those dreadful catastrophes which are of such frequent occurrence , and against which no effectual remedy has as yet been adopted by the coal trade generally , rite ., an " explosion in Wales , " by which at least thirty-five lives were lost . With the present advanced and improving state of science ,
explosions tan no longer be looked upon by a discerning public as mere accident or misfortune ,- over which there can be no controul , but solely attributable to a bad system of ventilation . Notwithstanding that the frequency of these occurrences has awakened in the public mind a sympathising feeling , and solicitous inquiry into this system of inhuman butchery—where men's lives areestimatedat the price of pounds , shillings aud pence—such inquiry has been mocked and insulted . This state of thing * ought nolonger to exist . An improved system of ventilation has been matured in the scientific world , and if generally adopted would , I am persuaded , prevent these evils . This improved system has received the sanction of some of the most eminent men of the day , yet such are the prejudices of a very
formidable party in the coal trade , that any alteration having the sanction of science , and not originating in that body , is rejected by them , and unfortunately no legislative enactment enforces it . To my fellowcountrymen I would say , can you longer think on the amount of suffering to which jour brethren are subjected , and not feel as much burning sympathy as will stimulate you to petition the Legislature to pass some definite and immediate enactments for the better protection of the lives and limbs of the miners ? Be up and doing , then 1 Let your petitions be got up and sent to " every part of the coal districts . Solicit the cooperation and assistance of every protective aud frien . liy society , and political and religious institution of every rank and name . The signal is given— "England
expects every man to do his duty . " Rest not satisfied until you are sensible you have done all that you can do , and , trusting to the justice of jour cause , I doubt not your success . — -A Mimk . The League and Feel . —It has been suggested that the Corn Law League , having no further use for their enormous fund , should expend it in building a uionument to Peel as high as the length of" the Wonderful Crocodile , " with Peel and Cobden embracing each otherat its summit , —J . W ., Barnsley . Veteran Patriots ' and Exiles'Widows ' andChildren ' b Funds . —I beg to acknowledge the receipt of 2 s . Gd . for the Widows' and Children ' s Fund , only , from Mr . Hurley , of Manchester , per Mr . Roger O'Connor ; also of Hs . 8 d . from Mr . Brook of Little Horton ; of 10 s . from
Mr . Lawner of Toubridge Wells ; and of £ 1 from the Chartists ot" Carpenter * ' Hall , Manchester ( per Mr . Smith ) , for the fico funds . I beg to thank Mr . David Pott , of Birmingham , for his communication relative to tilt : necessitous circumstances of Mrs . Roberts , and to assure him that her case shall be laid before the committee at its next meeting . Mr . Railion , of Manchester , and other friends , shall also hare the requisite circulars and collecting books very soon : my own Wnnt of health , with other domestic afflictions , together with anxiety to discharge my duty , publicly , to the cause of the Exiles , bereaves me of ability to attend to every request for books and circulars as promptly as I could wish—Thomas Cooper , secretary , 134 , Blaekfriar ' s-road .
" M . Q . R . or the Movement . "—[ To the Editor of the Northern Star . ]—Sir , —I was gratified to see the kind notice you gave of the case of Mr . Ryall , in the Star of the 17 th January . It ought to be known , that his present dangerous illness and impaired finanes are owing to untiring efforts to extricate himself from the difficulties into which he was thrown by the public struggles in Holy well-street . When others of us were in prison , he bore on his single shield the whole battle with the authorities . Whatever opinion may be entertained respecting the warfare conducted against the coarseness of Knight Bruce , and the vindictiveness of Jardinu , the principle contended for is one valued by
all intelligent men . But this was only an occasional service . There are few men so young , who have privately and publicly made greater sacrifices , or more unneariedly contributed through the press and public meetings to tht advancement of liberal principles . Surely such a man will not be suffered to perish through want or neglect . In addition to Mr . Hetberington , 40 , Holy well-street ; and Mr . Watson , 3 , Queen ' s Head-passage , Paternoster-row ; whose addresses you were good enough to publish , permit me to add , that any subscriptions left for in « , on this account , at Mr . Love ' s , 5 , Nelson-street , Glasgow , ehaH be promptly acknowledged , and duly forwarded to Mr . Ryall . — Yours respectfully—G . Jacob Holioake .
Mr . J . AUTucrt , Caelisle . — If his London publisher would call at the Star ofnet , he might procure both the works be mentions . Mr . SweeivNottingham , would oblige if he would not amalgamate the sums of money he forwards for different purposes . Let the Post-office orders for the Star be di'tinct from the other , as it will save us much trouble , we having little time to spare . James Finlej-, Cbook Hall , Shotlei Baioez . —About twelve shillings of furze seed will sow the acre ; and the present is as good a time as tho seed could bv put in .
W illiam Hameb . —We would recommend him to consult Mr . W . P . Roberts , 8 , Princess-street , Manchesttr . The master had no right to stop the rent out of wages , it is against the provisions of the Truck Act . Joseph Woodbukf , Manchebter . —Certainly , the loss of two fingers renders him useless to tyrants in the niiisket department . The Militia . —The oasy answer to scores of letters , some of thsra consisting of three pages , and the only answer that we can give till we see the Act , is—join tne Anti-Militia Association .
Thomas Mills . —His poetry is yery long , we really have not had time this week to look at it ; moreover , the im . mense press upon our columns just now makes us verychary of our space , Me . O'Cohnor and Public Meetings . —We cannot sufficiently censure the practice of putting Mr . O'Connor ' s name in bills announcing public meetings without his consent . There is one now lying before us of a meeting being heldthis ( Thursday ) evening , at nine o ' clock , whihi Mr . O'Connor has yet tome hours' labour to perform .
William Hameb , Oldham . —A forty shilling freehold can be curved out of any greater amount of freehold ; while we bog to decline ai ' . f wering the other question . George Cavili . —Mr . O'Connor ' s new work on "Small Farms" it not yet out , and for the very best reasonthat Mr . O'Connor has not time to write it . Tha work that is out , and sold by Mr . Heywood , and all booksellers , is complete in itself , aud Mr . O'Connor ' s new work will render the possession of that more necessary , as it will be a mere appendix to it , aud not bound up with it .
R . Lewton , CROXTON .-Tho same answer as above . J . H . M .-We r . all y mU 6 t rcfw the lquaubI t 0 tllt ! patronage of the Manx journalist , to which , no doubt .

MERct .-Mr . O Connor ha « to request , inmorcy , that all parties will abstain from calling upon him on Tucsaay , " , \ ednesduy , Thursday , or early on Friday , as he really finds it impossible to pull " up the time lost in conversation , while he has a . great disclinatiou to refuse any man an interview ; in future , however , he must make it a rule . It is also requested that conespomicnts seeking rejuws wi » slate their case at onee , withuut giving us the trouble in many instances of wading through four pages of local news to get at a simple question .
W . Tavlok , GreeuaciVs Moor , should have seen the folly of putting such a question to us . We will gratify him . howhver , hy the assurance that , for some time past the . S'tar has increased at a rate of . from . ' 00 to 301 ) a-weck , and some weeks more ; while we receive numerous communications from all parts ol thc country , expressing unmixed delight at the ma . nagement of thc paper . Perhaps he will be satisfied with a few of the many instances : —Messrs . Patou and Lore , Glasgow , hare increased their order within . Jive weeks , from ill to 1 « 0 ; Mr . Sweet , of Nottingham , from , we think , 70 to 1 ) 3 ; Mr . Guest , Birmingham , to a greater extent ; Mr . Heywood , Manchester , more than all put together ; while one of our Loudon agents lust week rose nearly 70 . We have so far gratified hits curiosity , which he assured us ^ was excessive ; but we trust that such questions will not be put to us in future . We hope soon to be apologising for inability to supply tho demand .
