LETTERS : : TOTHE WORKING CLASSES . XLTH .
n eras are things , and a small drop of ink Falling—like dew- ^ rpon a thought , produces That which makes thousands , perhaps millions think . " BTE 0 H > ? HE " "WAR OFPRINCIPLES . " Brother Proletaruss , There is a political tradition that Cxsmsa predicted that the next European War -would lie a War of Principles . Cxssvsa himself scoffedat principles—at least every principle of Justice . A flashy impostor , a brazen-faced ,
heartless adventurer , he affectedtopasshimself off as a " Liberal , " whilst , in reality , he was the most implacable foe of freedom , and the worst , because the cleverest , of the gang of villains -who cursed England with their role in those dark days ef slavery and degradation which intervened hetween the fell of Napoleon and the ousting of Charles the , Teste .
But though a heartless and scoffing enemy of just principles , Gassing was no fool . He had the-wit to see that though the system ¦ which had been inaugurated at "Vienna in 1815 might last for a generation or two , its doom -was certain and not far distant . Hence the prediction with which he is credited . That prediction is in course of fulfilment . THE
WAR OP PRINCIPLES HAS COMMENCED ! As yet the struggle is confined to one or two localities ; hut it needs no ghost come from the grave to warn us that a conflagration throughout Europe is at hand . I feel assured that amongst those whom I address there is not one whose heart is not palpitating -with exultation and anxiety , in consequence of the glorious , yet . ominous , news fern Hungary . Tho extraordinary victories achieved by Bem , Geobget , Dembikski , and the other Hungarian commanders , have been followed up b y an act which must influence for good or evil the destinies of entire [ Europe . In solemn conclave the magnates and representatives of the people have
declared HUNGARY FREE AND INDEPENDENT . Kossuth the man of 1848-49—at this moment the greatest man in Europe—Kosscxn proposed the utter extinction of Austrian rule in Hungary , now and evermore ; and with one voice , one hear t , one soul , his compatriots applauded , seconded , and declared the adoption of Ms proposition . Most important of the events ofthis wonder-working time ! Henceforth the struggle in Eastern Europe is not between so-called " rebels and their rulers , but between A satios , a people , and the tyrants of surrounding States combined to tread out the life of that nation , and lay the spirit of that people in a red sea of blood and tlestrnction .
Even before the Hungarians had declared iheir independence , the hellish compact had been signed and sealed by which the gore-dyed miscreant of . Russia bound himself to succour his " brother" of Austria with 150 , 000 of Ms savage hordes to put down the Hungarians . ! Ehese crowned brigands are ever the same ; the present Austrian Kaiser is but a copy of the last The crertn , who latel y resigned the Imperial Crown , closed his "paternal" career hy bombarding "his capital" and devoting his "beloved Viennese" to rapine , rape , and massacre , at the hands of his loyal Croatian
-savages . Some fools and inures , trumpeting the youth of the new Emperor , proclaimed the immediate re-establishment of peaceful , halcyon days . But ^ as Byron has written : — " JJaeh brute hath its nature , a Mug ' s is to reign—To reign ! in that word see , ye ages , comprised The cause of the curses all annals contain , Trom Cassar the dreaded to George the despised !" And , true to his brute-nature , the youthful KAISER began his reign b y devoting the principal portion of "his empire" to the horrors -of fire and sword , and atrocities -which devils
would shrink from , but which princes and ¦ statesmen coolly design , and their brutal tools too faithfully execute . "Worse stffi , he has -called in foreign hordes to assist him to reduce his peop le to slavery . He has declared an imp ious war against humanity itself b y plotting for Hungary the frightful doom of Poland . Well , well ; the Imperial savage has madehiselection . He has abandoned the sceptre for the sword . He has preferred to reign by terror , than to rule by justice . He has proclaimed himself the vassal of the Autocrat , the
deputy and slave of the Northern Executioner . May he find his reward ! Brother Proletarians , reflect for a moment on the consequences that may , that are almost certain to result from the Russian invasion of Hungary , and the declaration of Hungarian Independence . Rather than allow that independence to be consummated , the Autocrat will , if possible , send twice one hundred and fifty thousand troops into Hungary . * If possible" (!)—for such a number of
troops withdrawn from the defence of the Russian territory , would certainly induce another rising in Poland , and , very likely , revolution in Russia itself ! But both Polish and Russian revolutions are extremely probable , even should only 150 , 000 Russians enter Hungary . Assailed by Russia the Hungarians will , in all probability , carry the war into the enemy ' s country- The Hungarian standard on the Polish side of the Carpathian mountains , ¦ will re-animate the "White Eagle , and then woe to the Russian Bear !
Other oppressed nationalities will assert their independence ; and not improbably the Turks and Swedes will join in the conflict , to take vengeance for past and present wrongs . This day ' s papers—which I have only seen -Since the above paragraphs were written—-Strengthen my anticipations of the effects likely to flow from the Russian invasion of Hungary Bem—the Polish hero , Bem—has addressed a proclamation to his countrymen , calling on them to rise for Poland , and rally around their own country ' s standard . His appeal is likel y to be answered with enthusiasm . I look for even more than this . Unless the Magyars , as
politicians , are content to lose by inaction all ihat they have gained by their energy as warriors , they will summon other peoples as well as the Poles to rise for the deliverance of Europe . Now is the crisis of Hungary ' s fate . If her sons make a half revolution , themselves and their country will perish . If , on the other hand , they proclaim a war of democracy against hings and despotisms , they cannot iail to -victoriously achieve their own freedom , and the freedom of both Eastern and Central Europe . Let them fling the Red Hag to the breeze * and Hungary , Poland , and Germany will be saved , and the enemies of Freedom annihilated .
Already the Germans demand to be led against Russia . But it is not merely against theMuscorite Autocrat the Germans desire to proclaim war . The war of the Germans aoahist their own Kings and Princes is at hand . That combination of fool and tyrant , the King of Prussia , is doing his bestto hasten th ' e . estahlishment of the Red Republic . He has no objection to be Emperor , but he will wear an absolute crown . He proclaimed himself a Constitutional
King" "With no objection to true liberty , f Except that it would make the nations free . And , therefore , he volunteers his royal aid to ah * distressed princes . He wffl stem thewaves of Revolution . Se - ' As well might Dame Partington attemptto dry up the Atlantic with her mop . Frederick William will protect his brother princes from the convulsions of the times . Poor fool ! His own throne ia not secure for a week , a day , an hour . I tell you , ( M Germany is undermined . The insurrection at Dresden is hut the rumbling of the coming political earthquake , That nprending , overturning , and scattering of thrones , crownV and ^ epke ^ wUl come : audrnthaVhourthechsats ,

liars , robbers , and assassins , who have so long deluded and tormented the German people , will he buried beneath the ruins of the system , by which they have lived and rei gned , " but through which they will fall and perish , utterly andforever . And mark you this : it will be the turn of the Proletarians next time ; No more courgeois-ruh ; no more Frankfort-Diet delusions ; no more hollow-hearted , empty-headed praters with whom " payment of members" is the one grand " point" of reform . The men of deeds not words will come ; the MEN OF the future
who will orate not with the jaw , but with the strong right arm ; men who will ( in their own way ) carry out the great Athenian ' s recipe for eloquence : —" Actio ? . * , Action , Action !" The invasion of Italy by the French has thus far heen productive of defeat and disgrace to the invaders . After two attempts to enter Rome , in which the French lost about two hundred men killed , and from four to five hundred wounded , General Ovdisqt was fain to beat a retreat ; nor did he cease his " advance backwards" until he had put a good few miles between himself and the brave Romans . Strengthened by reinforcements and by the
arrival of his siege-train , the French General may probably ere now have made another attempt to take the city , and may too have succeeded . It appears from this day ' s papers that the Neapolitans have entered the Roman States , and that the Austrians were marching on Bologna . With this Holy Alliance of cutthroats against them the Romans are nearl y certain to be- overpowered . Aided by this trinity-in-unity of assassins , the Pope can hardly fail to recover his temporal supremacy . But for how long ? As long , perhaps , as foreign armies occupy Rome , but certainly no
longer . Pius was the venerated idol of the Romans ; hois now and for evermore the most execrated of the hypocrites and murderers who have filled St . Peter ' s chair . The most execrated , because , pre-eminentl y the traitor of the line . Old Gregory was simply a gloomy old tyrant , and willing tool of tyrants ; but he -was not guilty of the hypocrisy aad treason which have blasted the reputation , and meM " eternall y infamous the name -of Pius the JfLNTH . When the Italians demanded his countenance of an Italian war of liberation , to drive out the Austrians , the holy hypocrite affected a p ious horror of bloodshed , and
refused to g ive the signal for Freedom ' s struggle . Having lost " his popularity , and fled from Some in the disguise of aflunkey , this precious , peace-loving Po e forthwith set about conspiring a civil war amongst the people he had fled from . By threats of excommunication , and blasphemous anathemas , he tried to operate on the religious prejudices of thepeasantry , and induce them to march against the capital . He failed , and now he gives his blessing to three armies of foreign invaders , who aim at re-erecting his throne on the smoking ruins of Rome , and the lifeless bodies of the devoted Roman people !
A thousand maledictions on the traitors - who have brought eternal dishonour oh France , by directing French soldiers to the fratricidal work of destroying the Roman Republic . Honour to those Frenchmen , who , in Rome , have sworn to defend that city even against their own countrymen ! Honour to those French soldiers , who , deserting the standard of Hypocrisy to fight by the side of the Romans , instead of against them , have thereby shown their fidelity to the principles of their own revolution ! But perdition to all who follow Oudixot , for " their mission is the
work of hell . " And , above all , perdition—a thousand fold—to the rulers of France—the traitors and hypocrites who have betrayed the Republican cause ; and rendered the very name of their country a by-word and a mockery . If the peop le of France are not utterly changed in their nature ; if they are not the mere miserable counterfeits of their fathers ; if they are not dead to shame , and utterly insensible to the appeals of honour , they will at once bring thetraitors to justice , and hasten —though late , to repair the evil , and atone for the crimes done in their ( the French people ' s ) name . This they may do peaceably if they will . A signal opportunity is afforded them at this very time to prove their virtue ,
and the efficacy of Universal Suffrage . On Sunday next , the 13 th inst ., the general election of representatives to the new Assembl y will commence . If the French people "know their rights , and knowing , dare maintain them ; " if they love libert y , and would "do unto others as they would be done unto , "they will elect an Assembly pledged to impeach Buonaparte , Babkot , Faucheb , and the rest of the traitors ; and pledged also to annul , abrogate , and set aside all the acts and policy—domestic and foreign—< of Mr . Special-Constable Buonaparte , and his worth y com-Togaes . It is as plain as a p ike-staff that Buonaparte is sold to the league of tyrants . His mission is to betray the Republic , and accomp lish the counter-revolution .
Would thatmy voice could reach the French people , or the words I pen be laid before them , thus would I appeal to our brethren : — Frenchmen , Friends , and Brothers . The glorious Revolution of February , 1848 , armed you with a power which your Republican Constitution solemnly confirms and guarantees—the power of self-government , throug h the exercise of the Suffrage by ballot , direct and Universal . On the wise exercise of that power depends , not merely your own welfare , but also , in a great measure , that of other
nations . If , throug h the peaceful mediuin of the ballot-box , you succeed in establishing a state of veritable freedom and social justice , you will more than benefit yourselves , you will resolve the question of European progression . Once that you present the spectacle of a really free and happy people , the flag of your Republic will " make the tour of the world . " If success crowns your Republican experiment , your Republican institutions will inevitably take root in all the of
States of Europe , and the fraternity nations will be accomplished . But , if that experiment fails—if by your unwise exercise of your citizen rights , you allow royalist conspirators to rule and legislate in the name of the Republic for the Republic ' s destruction , you will more than rum yourselves . The Republic overthrown , or , worse still , brought into odium and contempt , positive absolutism will be re-established throughout Europe . Universal Suffrage self-vanquished in France , will be the deadliest blow ever inflicted upon
You are now called upon to decide between the enemies and defenders of your new-born liberties-between those who wouldrestore the hateful past , and those who desire a happier future . Duty to yourselves-your children—your brethren of other landsdemands that you rejectthe former andelect the latter . . , , ' It is the hope of every honest man m Europe that you will reject the ^ enemies ^ of the Republic , whether they belong to the Legitimist , the Bourgeois-Royalist , or the Imperial faction . Set aside the men who ,
by their crimes and oppressions under the Monarchy , imposed upon you the necessity of a Revolution . Set aside the men who , under the Republic , have unceasingly plotted a counter-revolution ; the men who have brutally violated the freedomof speech , and of the press ; persecuted the founders of the Rep ublic , and established a system of veritable terrorism . Set aside the men who have done their best to bring eternal infamy upon France , by abandoning the afflicted peoples to the rage of their Royalist executioners : and who , worse still , have committed the fratricidal guilt of » wtiW &^ the forces of

lispuhlican France against the Republic of regenerated Rome . The men worthy to be your representatives , are those who will pledge themselves to work put the principles of the Revolution , by heating down inequality , and establishing the reign of Social Justice ; the men who will bring to the work of legislation the virtuous determination that neither
oppressor nor pauper shall exist on the soil of France ; the men who will redeem the honour of your name by allying your country with tho peoples—not the tyrants of Europe ; in » hort , the men who will swear to carry out the programme of the Demo ? cratic and Social Republic , and devote their lives to tho hol y work of your and Europe ' s salvation .

To Feargus O'Connor, Esq., M. P. Dear Si...
TO FEARGUS O ' CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Dear Sin , —There have been a great niariy letters received in this locality from that nondescript Thomason , some of thom by persons entirely unconnected with—nay , I had almost said hostile to , —tho Chartist party . These letters were uniformly filled withthe most violent attacks , malicious insinuations , and inuendos against your own character , the Star , and many of the other leaders of the Charter and Land movements , together with the most infamous lying attacks , and malevolent insinuations against the character of some of the individuals in particular , and of the parties in general with whom ho used to act when residing in this locality . It was thought that the miserable wretch who could pen
such extraordinary calumnies and send many ofthem to the very persons who knew that—in as far as regards everything connected with this locality—they were a parcel of downright lies , must have been insane . And as we believed that the charges against yourself and the other leaders were equally false , it was agreed to treat him with that degree of silent respect that a person in his unfortunate condition is entitled to receive . Latterly , however , the opinion that he is more knave than fool has been generall y adopted in this place , consequentl y , I took the liberty of enclosing one of his letters in the last communication which I sent to you with regard to the charges that he made in the letter which appeared in the Star of tbe 14 th April—the parties referred to will speak for themselves .
I am , dear Sir , yours most respectfully , Jamks M'lim-RE . TO F . O ' COSXOB , BSQ ., M . P ., PROPRIETOR & C , OF THE " NORTHERN STAR . " Respected Sib , —We , the undersigned , having been members of the school society , and of the church that engaged Thomason , to act in the capacity of teacher and preacher , in this locality , have had our attention directed to the following paragraph of that person ' s letter which appeared in the Star of the 14 th April : viz . "I was literally robbed by a portion of the Chartist party , ofmy books , chest , and clothes , when in the West of Scotland , and a sum of money due me , £ 17 3 s 2 d . " Being the parties referred to , we beg leave to g ive the following brief account of our connexion with him : He camo
to this place early in the year 1841 , when he was engaged to teach and preach in the Democratic seminary . A salary of 25 s . per week was guaranteed to him , provided , however , that ho attended regularly five days per week , and discharged his duties faithfully . lie commenced his school with from 150 to 160 pupils , but , in consequence of his cross negligence , tho number of his scholars soon dwindled down to about twenty . In fact , his conduct was a complete burlesque upon teaching . At one time he would be absent day after day , perhaps nearly a week at a time , nobody knowing where he was ; at other times , he was to be seen loitering about the streets during school hours . The children , meanwhile , in consequence of being left entirely to themselves " enjoyed such glorious fun , " that the whole neighbourhood was deaved with the noise : while , at the very best , he would leave his
school in the hands of any inexperienced working man or lad that he could happen to find idle at the time . Yet , nevertheless , being unwilling to do anything that would have the slightest appearance of harshness , and as we took him to be an easy goodtured kind of a mortal , we occasionally remonstrated with him and gave him good advice , and continued for a number of months more to pay him his salary in full . Ultimately , however , we told him plainly , that as he had entirely failed to discharge his duty to us , that we were unable and unwilling to continue paying him Ms salary any longer , andthat he was to consider his connexion with us at an end . He then entreated us to try and give him a few shillings a week , and as he was a single man he thought he could live till trade got better . This was about the
beginning of 1842 , and trade was fearfully bad , yet we made a determined effort and gave him on an average about 7 s . or 8 s . a week , for doing next to nothing , as long as he remained here , and we may state that very few of the families who contributed to make up this sum were in the receipt of so large an income . Thus , you will perceive , that so far from owing him anything , we , in point of fact , gave him much more than ho was entitled to receive . Having been compelled to say so much in self-defence , we will now show you how he fleeced two or three of his own flock ; we could extend the number considerably , but we give these as mere samples of that worthy ' s love of honesty and plain dealing . When he came here first he was like a beggar , and as it was absolutely necessary that he should have a
respectable appearance , Robert Freebairn , being brother-in-law to Mr . Thomas M'Kechnie , tailor , and clothier , Glasgow , became surety for two entire suits of clothes of the very best quality , which Thomason received from that gentleman ; the one suit was for the pulpit , and the other to make him appear respectable as a teacher : they cost about £ 9 , sterling and all that we could induce him ( Thomason ) to pay for them ( if we except a great deal of gratuitous insolent abuse ) was 80 s . which leaves a balance of £ 710 s sterling . lie received from James * ' Buchannan , a hard-working shoemaker , a pair of boots , and several mendings amounting in all to about £ 1 , and made his exit without paying a single farthing of them . He boarded with Mrs . Aitken , a poor old widow woman , who now resides in Kilbarclian , and the heartless wretch decamped owing her nearl y £ 8 sterling . These three _ sums alone amount to about £ 16 sterling . As it regards his chest ,
he owes George Ferguson , ( now in America ) the price of it ; it is now in Mrs . Aitken ' s possession and she would be very glad to see Mr . Thomason coming to take it away . As to his boots and clothes , he knows best about them himself ; he carried off everything of the kind that he could lay his hands on in a huge black bag . There was more than one bookseller in this place who gained a loss by having him for a customer ; and Se was not content with cajoling the booksellers , forlyou mustknowthathe could and did borrow , and in too many cases never returned the publications to their proper owners . But there is no use in lengthening out this black catalogue , we have said sufficient to vindicate our own characters , and to caution the Chartist body against being deceived by the " Wandering Window-breaker . " We hope that you will , in accordance with the notice in last Saturday ' s Northern Star , insert this communication in the next number of that valuable journal , and you will much oblige . Honoured Sir ,
Yours , with every sentiment of respect , James Buchannan , Robert Freebairk , Daniel Jabdine . Tale of Leven , Alexandria , May 7 th . Dear Sir , —I may state that Thomason , over and above receiving a handsome salary for attending the Convention , in 1842 , received 12 s . from this locality , for defraying Conventional expenses , and kept it for his own use . I am , yours , most faithfully , James M'Iswre . P . S . Please insert this fact also in the next Star , and you will oblige . J . M'I . ;

VIOLATION OF THE TEN HOURS BILL . TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —Will you oblige the Short Time Committee of Burnley , by inserting the follo wing letter in your valuable paper : << h-Messrs . Knowles , ot this town , have for some time back been working their loom shed twelve hours per day , contrary to the wishes of their workpeople , who a short time since presented them with theTollowing petition , which was ( with one exception ) unanimously , signed : — . : " We , the undersigned , being in your employ , are dissatisfied with the present system of working more than ten hours per day , and we sincerely hope that you will discontinue it . And we will ever be grateful . " This petition Messrs . Knowles treated with contempt , and informed their hands , that
those of them who were dissatisfied might seek work elsewhere , as they intended to proceed with their present system . In additionto this , they have attempted to get a double set of hands , so that they might work their shed day and night . Butnot being able to succeed , they tried to get their present male adults . to . work Sen tours per day . 5 n Friday last , the men held SeS to take the above Into consideration , tEt was resolved toinform their masters that rt ^ would cease working more than ten hours per da ?

Tho men . with few exceptions , went down , were paid oft ; and discharged . The reason for which we desire you to publish this is , to show to the world that the men have not turned out , but that they have been discharged because they would not work fifteen hours per day .

Trades Meeting Of London. \ The Trades O...
TRADES MEETING OF LONDON . \ The Trades of London held a meeting at the Ka tional Hall , High Holborn , on Monday evening , and , as the best means of ensuring security and employment for all , recommended Universal Suffrage . Home Colonies , and Local Boards of Trade . M 4 ' eig ' lt ' clock , Mr . Kalthobbb ( carver and gilder ) , was calkd to the chair . . Mr . A . Walton rose to move the first resolution , setting forth " Homo Colonies , " as the best guarantee for the employment of the superabundant labour in the market , and was loudly cheered . He said with the resolution he had to propose was blended a petition to the House of Commons . The great want of the working classes was reproductive employment , which was the onlv thing that cooid
prevent the misery and destitution prevailing to 8 UCh an alarming . extent , and raise the wealth producers m the scale of society . Their petition embraced the three primary elements of wealth—land , labour , and capital . ( Hear , hear . ) There was plenty ol land either entirely or partially uncultivated—for instance , all the waste and common land and a groat portion of the crown land , which could bo appropriated to tho purpose , and which only wanted touching with the hand of the skilled labourer to make it bring forth abundantly . ( Loud f ^ e rs j- " Ifc wa , a fact that more than one-half of the building trades had been unemployed during the past winter months ; yet were tho whole of them employed in constructing houses , as at present , it
would be most futile , as the number of unoccupied houses warranted him in saying . Labour to be benefieial must be reproductive ; and , as it was with the building trades , so with engineers , smiths , shoemakers , tauors , & c , & c . They might build houses , erect " locomotives , make shoes or clothes , yet hare neither house to live in , locomotive . to travel with , shoes to their feet , nor clothes to their backs . ( Loud cheers . ) He repeated , their condition could onl y be improved by reproductive labour . Then le ' t agriculture and manufactures bo scientifically combined , and nature and art would yield their products in abundance , to tho comfort and happiness of all . The means he suggested were , that government should get a general bill passed , enclosing tho waste lands , « fcc . —and there were twenty-two
million acres of them . Yea , let these he taken , and some treasury notes issued by way of loan . These notes would be employed hi setting the unemployed to ' work , and surely in this matter wo should receive the support of the paper currency men , as it must materially add to the currency of tho country , seeing that tho notes must be expended in the purchase of seeds , implements of husbandry , & c , & c . ( Cheers . ) For his own part , he would not hesitate to form a private company to carry out the object in view , with a capital of one million , only he knew that such was the general depression amongst the working classes , that he believed they would find the greatest difficulty in appropriating even one shilling per week to such an object . He did not anticipate
that any good would be done until the working classes took up this question with a thorough earnestness , and pressed the question on tho attention of the legislature , always bearing in mind that it was not only necessary to produce wealth , but that , when wealth was produced , it should be much more equitably distributed than at present . ( Loud cheers . ) To effect this , they must cause the land to bo unlocked , and unless the masses speedily bestirred themselves , England would soon be reduced to the position of unfortunate Ireland . ( Applause . ) He had much pleasure in moving the resolution and petition . Mr . A . Campbell ( joiner ) , in seconding the motion , said the present meeting reminded him of a
similar petition to that now proposed , presented to the House of Commons , some twelve months since , by Lord Ashley , and the declaration of Lord John Russell , that its propositions were "wild and visionary . It mi g ht be so . Let us ask , are the producers , well fed , well clothed , and well housed ? If so , no change is necessary ; but no—they were ill fed , worse clad , and badly housed . ( Loud shouts of "Hear , hear . " ) Well , then , a change must come , and the only question was , shall such change be peaceable or violent ? for change was inevitable . ( Loud cheers . ) Ho contended that the loss to the country by unemployed skill , capital , and labour was equal to one million per day , ( Hear , hear . ) W had heard much of friend Cobden ' s " cheap
bread and plenty to do . " Well , " cheap bread had come ; but where was the " plenty to do ? " He ( Mr . Campbell ) contended that if articles became clicap , the price of labour must go down with them ; hence the necessity of reconstructing and reorganising society on a proper basis . Again , we have the Financial Reformers ; and ho was as much for a well regulated . system of economy as any man . But just suppose the army and navy to bo reduced —what was the consequence ? Why that the disbanded-men were thrown on the already overstocked labour market , rendering competition still fiercer than ever , the consequence being that wages must fall still lower . It reminded him forcibl y of the Irishman who camo over to England , and having
asked , the price of an article was told that it was sixpence . " Oh , by Jasus , " said Pat , " I could get that for twopence in my country . " "Well , " responded the vendor , "then why did you come hero ? " "Ab , " said Pat , " sure I could not be after getting tho twopence . ( Laughter and applause . ) Hence , tho thing necessary was clearly reproductive labour . No man would regret to see a violent change more than ho ( Mr . Campbell ) , but there was a point at which endurance became impossible . Such a state of things they were most anxious to prevent , and honee thoy came forward with a remedy well calculated to work out a peaceful arid effective reform , and in pushing forward those measures they only looked forward to protection for themselves . Legal and medical men were
protected by their charters ; but when the operatives asked for protection , and united to obtain it , they were denounced as conspirators and punished accordingly . He hoped he had said enough to show them that the men of the trades now moving were moral , social , and political reformers , ( Cheers . ) Lord Brougham , in presenting a petition on their account , the other day , asking for local boards of trade , had said— " He loved the working classes , but could not respect their erroneous opinions : the petition he was then presenting contained principles advocated in France by Louis Blanc . " ( The mention of Louis Blanc ' s name was received with loud and reiterated shouts of applause . ) He had much pleasure in seconding the
motion , and hoped that the government would listen to their prayer , and not , by their inattention to the wants and wishes of the toilers , drive them to frenzy and despair . ( Loud cheers . ) Tho resolution and petition were adopted . Mr . Isaac Wilson ( bootmaker ) , rose to move a resolution and petition in favour of local boards of trade , and said , he knew of no measure better calculated to serve the purpose of tho working classes ' than local boards of trade , at which an equal portion of the employers and employed would meet together to regulate the price of wages , and then , many of the low-priced masters would be ashamed for the world to know the price they at present gave as a remuneration for labour .

. Mr . Britsck ( cigar maker ) , in seconding tne motion , said , certain portions of the Press were telling the country that trade was improving , but he would like the Press and the government to inquire if they , the operatives , obtained sufficient wages to live on ; they would find , that if bread was twopence cheaper , wages were threepence less in proportion . For his part , ho wished Free Trade to begin in the right . place . Let him go where he liked for his parson , his church , and his judge ; and , above all , let him have a free suffrage , that he might protect himself . ( Great cheering . ) They had what was called a Board of Trade , but , what the operatives
wanted was , that labour should be represented at those boards . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . James Osborne ( currier ) , said , if they called them guilds of trade instead ot boards they were no new thing , but had existed in ages past , but the workpeople had been swindled out of them . He considered the questions propounded to be questions of life and death to the working classes . He thoroughly agreed with them on the question of Home Colonies on the land , and thought they would be best obtained through the means of local boards oftrade , and he impressed on the working men to earnestly call on tne government to set them at work . ( Cheers . ) .
The resolution and petition were unanimously adopted . •'•' . ;¦ ¦ Mr . Felix Goodfellow ( tailor ) , came forward and read tho following resolution amidst loud cheering : — "That in the opinion of this meeting the rig ht Of the suffrage to every man of twenty-ose years of age , of sound mind , and uncoatanimated by crime , ought to be asserted , and that & petition embodying this principle be presented to Parliament on behalf of the Trades of London . '' Ha said he knew not how the evils that jsevaued weje to be remedied but by gVring expression to our feelinjgs regarding them . He would much like to know how it happened , if cmr systeTO worked well , that ono in every seven waa a pauper . ( Hear , hear . ) He had listened to the several speakers on "Home Colonies , " " Beards of Trade / ' Ac , with much interest , but he asked how they were to be obtained ? . Would the present ^ Parliament grant that ? No ; but we must Mtert ourselves . Get tho suflrage—elect a i bouse that will represent us—and then . we w » y hope

Their desire was to obtain property onl y through legitimate means , and he did thmk if Universal Suffrage prevailed , they should not have a Baron Piatt presiding met a Drouet trial ;—( loud cheers)—neither should we have Dorchester Labourers hot Glasgow CoWff » Spinners transported .

THAJIES . -Charge op FiMt'n on a German EiWqrant . —Edward Kuyzer , waiter to a German namctf Antweller , who is proprietor of two lodging-houses in Burr-street , near the St . Katharine ' s Docks , was finally examined charged with plundering William Vanderdeal , a Dutch emigrant ( whom ho first induced to become a lodger in oivcr of Antweller ' s houses , of 165 guilders and other monies to a considerable amount . The complainant arriyed here in t & e Rainbow steamer , from Hollanay on the 22 nd ult ., intending to-emigrate to New wk from London as soon as possible . The prisoner arod another man lured him to oa © of Antwellcr ' s houses , where they induced him to advance 45 guilders * to nav his
passage and 50 more- io provide an OuGffii , stating that h & should sail for America the next dhy . Before sailing , however , but was made drunfe by Antweller , who , in connexion with Kuyzer , dfefrauded him to a considerable extent , by changing some Russian notes infinitely below their value-. The prisoner having since ascertained that Vamierdeal was still possessed of 165 guilders , told him he- had better , as tbe London vessel had sailed , proceed at once to Liverpool , where he- would be sure to-fikl a vessel . They then got a cab > and proceeded to-the railway station . On their way there the prisoner robbed Vanderdeal of all the money he possessed . On arriving at the railway the prisoner paid tae poor man ' s fare , and forcing hino into a carriaga jhst as the train was starting , told him he should find
his money , outfit , & c , before him at Liverpool . 0 % arriving there , however , he discovered the fraudi . and found himself in a strango pl . tee without a penn . v in his pocket . He stated the fasts to the Dutc & consul , who advised him to get boekto London assoon as possible and lay his case before a magistrate . He was enabled to return to London by the kindness of a Dutch captain , who advanced him sixteen guilders . —The prisoner , who persisted in denying the robbery , was committed for trial . MARYLEBOJTE . — A Gentkel Scamp . — Mr . Charles Higgins was brought before Mr . Broughton , charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct at 11 , Upper Montague-street , Montague-square ; he was also charged on a warrant obtained against him by his wife , the daughter of Sir Paul Joddrell , of
Portland-place , with having threatened to " do for her , " in consequence of which said threat she was in fear of her life , and therefore claimed protection at the hands of the magistrate . —A great deal of evidence was gone into , and it was shown that defendant was some years ago received as a guest at at Sir P . Joddrell ' s house , and that he ingratiated himself into the good graces of his daughter , with whom he ran away , and a marriage took place between them at -Whitechapel Church . Sir Paul and her ladyship were averse to the match , and neither of them had since been upon friendl y terms with defendant , who had assaulted his wife violentlv
on the 26 th ult ., but she did not then ¦ press the charge against him ; he had since abused her and threatened her in the terms before alluded to , and she was fearful that he would do her some injury ; he had unfortunately given himself up to habits of intemperance , and she had in more than one instance assaulted by him ; for the last assault he was brought before this Court , but as she had no wish to punish him , as he had promised not to molest her any more , he was discharged on paying 5 s . for being drunk . —Mr . Broughton now ordered him to find bail , himself in £ 10 , and two sureties in £ 40 each ( with twenty-four hours' notice ) for his keeping the peace for six months .
SOUTHWARK — RoBBERt bi a Confidential Servant and Sunday School Teacher . —C . Hunt , town traveller in the firm of Messrs . Hart and Co ., extensive trimming manufacturers , in Union-street , was charged with plundering his employers . —It appeared that the above firm had missed properly to a considerable amount , but no suspicion was excited against the prisoner , who held a confidential situation in their employ ^ . and the utmost confidence was reposed in him , the more particularly as he was supposed to be of a religious turn of mind and was class teacher of a Sunday school . On tho preceding day , however , during the absence of the principals of the firm , ho was observed by one of the clerks to leave the warehouse with a large package , which he took out into tho street , and the latter suspecting that it was property which ho intended to steal , went after him , and requested that he would return , which he reluctantly did , when it was found that the package contained a large quantity of superfine
cloth . On this discovery the prisoner begged for mercy , declaring that it was his first offence , but when his lodgings wore examined other property belonging to his employers was found . The prisoner was then given into custody . One of the prosecutors said that , although they had no doubt they had been robbed to a considerable extent , they had no wish to press the charge against the accused , as he was respectably connected . —Mr . Cottingham said he conld not consistently withthe discharge of his duty . listen to any appeal on the behalf of a man holding a confidential situation , such as the prisoner filled , when upon other occasions ho was compelled to send poor miserable wretches for stealing a loaf of bread for ! trial ; that the circumstance of the prisoner ' s exhibiting all the outward garb of religion , such as being a class teacher of a Sunday school , aggravated the charge against him ; and that he was bound , therefore , to send him for trial . The prisoner was accordingly committed ,

The Mokmo.Vs.—Wo Wan* To Call Tho Reader...
The Mokmo . vs . —Wo wan * to call tho reader ' s attention to tho new and most extraordinary position of tho Mormons . Seven thousand of them have found a resting-place in the most extraordinary spot on the Rorth American Continent . Since the children of Israel wandered through the Wildwness , or the Crusaders rushed ora Palestine , there has been nothing so historically singular as the emigration and recent settlement of the- Mormons . Thousands of them came from the Manchester ^ ' and Sheffields of Europe , to join other thousands congregated from Western JSew York , and New York , and New England—boasted descendants of the- Pilgrim fathers—together to follow after a new Jerusalem in the West . Having a temple amidst the churches and schools of Lake countv , Ohio , and
driven from it by popular opinion , they build the Nauvoo of Illinois . It becomes a great town . Twenty thousand people flock to it . They are again assaulted by popular persecution ; their Prophet murdered—their town depopulated—and finally their temple burned ! Does all this series of signal persecutions to which they have been subjected destroy them ? Not at all . Seven thousand are nowsettled , in flourishing circumstances , on the Plateau summit of the North American Continent ! Thousands more are about to join them from Iowa , and thousands more are coming from Wales ! The spectacle is most singular , and this is one of the singular episodes of tho great drama of this age . The spot on which the Mormons are now settled is , geographically , one of the most interesting : on tho
American Continent . ' There is no other just like it , that we can recollect of , on the globe . Look at the map a little east of tho Great Salt Lake , and just south of the south-west Pass , and you will see m the north-east corner of California the summit level of the waters which flow on tho North American continent . It must bo six thousand feet , perhaps more , above the level of the Atlantic . In this sequestered corner , in a vale hidden among mountains and lakes , are the Mormons , and there rise the mighty rivers than which no continent has greater . Within a stono ' s throw almost of cue another , Ho the head springs of the Sweet Water and the Green River . The former flows into the Platte River : that into the Missouri : and that into the Mississipi : and that into the Gulf of Mexico ,
becoming part of the Gulf Stream , and laves the shores of distant lands . The latter , tli & G * eon River , flows into the Colorado : the Colorado into the Gulf of California , and is mingled with tlie- Pacific . The one flows more than 2 , 500 miles ; the other more than 1 , 500 . These flow into tropical regions . Just north of the same spot are the head streams of Snako lUver , which flows into the- Columbia , near Lit . 46 deg ., after a course of 1 , 000 miles . Just south are the sources of the Hio Grande , which , after winding 1 , 700 miles , finds , tho Gulf of Mexico . —Cincinnati Atlas . Foroeuy o p Government Stamps . —On Friday the 14 th ult ., the police of Birkenhead , in consequence of information which they had received , proceeded to the house of a person named Thompson ,, residing at Tranmere , and instituted a search . Several dies for impressing government receipt stamps of various amounts , a variety of slips of paper bearing an impression of tho dies , and a great number of articles
used in the process of the forgeries , were discovered and carried away by the police . The occupant of the house , who is a paper ruler , and w . ho r a short time ago , resided in Chester-atrcet ,. Birkenhead ,, was taken into custody . On Saturday he was brought before the magistrates , but till further inquiries should be made he was remanded . Baring , the examination of Thompson several' of the forgeries were produced , and excited surprise-at tha complete manner in which thoy were executed . Siamese Twins . —Surgical Operation . —The Siamese twins , who have been living some yeaas with , their wives and children , on their own nlaatation in North Carolina , are said to boon their way to New York to embark for Europe , with a , view to , consult tho most eminent surgeons-on tho -practicability of an operation to divide- the ligament that binds them together . It is farther , said , that one of their sisters had been adopted . ihto the family of the ; Emperor of Siam .
A Monster op the De 3 ? j—It appears by the Periodic dos Pobres , of Oporto , that a roonster fish was driven on shore at Povoa do Yaia & n , on the 13 th ult . They are ignorant what fish it is , but its size 19 thus given ,- _ it is fiffcjj-eight hands and nine inches long , andtmeasures ini the thickest part nearly twenty handsr-its tail being in the form of a fan ; it has four great fins , two great fins on the ? loins , the snout and ejja-of a pig ; wi 6 h three order * of-teeth , great and small ; the aw > uth fourteen hands in circumfereaoe , from the-mouth to tH & neck five orders of gi } ls , every oae- having a la ? g & head of the size of athand ; the skia was as rougfraa that of a seal , and . black ; it apsearcd to be a mate ; the liver it is supposed will g iva-upwards of eightyeight gallons of oil . This . Sshi was _ accidantolly stsangled by the-cords of th » nets which arft . used & r catching that kind of fiph called heuV-Peseadas , " which resemble tl & fi . back—and wlu > h had closed the gills and towed the fish along .. ¦
