The Prostitute. Yv'hen Applied To A Fema...
oo we find- ? "Wh y , that they have the appointment of their own minions and hirelings , as judges of their own acts , and as defenders of their own perfidy . _^ If a Select Committee is to be appointed to inquire into the acts of the Government , or into the acts of men hostile to the Gorernment , a Government official , a Government tool , a Government prostitute , is appointed upon that Committee , in the hope that he will be elected as its Chairman , and , in his situation of Chairman , he has a _controllins power over the Committee .
Hence , we hnd the delegation of this hired authority to officials , is a mask to hide the perfidy of tbe Government , while , in most instances , weak-minded and nervous individuals bow obsequiously to this authority , and surrender the independent spirit of the man to the subserviency of the hired prostitute , who . surrendering all feelings of honour , and pride , of consistency , and truth , volunteers the perf « _.-n _ URce of the odious duty imposed upon him . And thus , with the machinery which
treacherv , dishonour , and spyisrn _. place at his command , he enters upon the degrading service as a volunteer , ' who has _surrendered all the _bt-st _feelings of nature to the base purposes of faction : and he must be an honest man , a _consistent man . a hold man , and a man of nerve , who can stand up and defend himself against such appliances ; while , if possessed of those attvihvites _. he will assuredly triumph <» ver the machination uf his enemies , and the hired subordinates .
H e shall one dav draw a picture , and a vivid and true one . of those cr . se * of wliich we now give the mere outline , and then the reader will learn the snares with which their path , and the path of their friends is beset- and he will be able to discover the material difference between a male and a female

ENGLISH LAW IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY . The sentences passed on tr . e so-called Chartist rioters , _during the last Sessions at the Central Criminal Court , seem _« ot to have attracted the attention they deserve , as witness the _fnilowiiiir c _.-ises : — A Tna _« ter cabinetmaker was sentenced to eighteen -months' hard labouT in the House of Correction , for merely raising his umbrella End _crvin-r , "Oh ! the thieves'" when he _sarr the police murdering the _defenceless people .
A pawnbroker ' s assistant , a well-euusnted and most respectable lad , _yas sentenced to twelve months' harei labour , besides having been infamously treated by the police , he having' been only a casual passer-by at the time . Another lad was sentenced to twelve menths ' h . rd labour , being- merely charged with having his hand raised in the air , without anything in iti These are mere _examples of the sentences in _genera ! . Be it remembered , also , _thtt the Jury recommended the prisoners to nercy . This v .-as the mercy of the Judge . Contrast it with the following _sentease pronounced bv the same-Jud - re . —
A young thief , found guilty of passmfr coun"terfei _. money , was sentenced to six ir . onths ' imprisonment . Truly in the eyes of the law , a working man had Letter be a thief than-a politician . Robbers have a fellow-feeling , even if thsy are in different _branches-zf the _firqfession .
Parlia-Mextary Review. The Only Notable ...
PARLIA-MEXTARY REVIEW . The only notable Parliamentary topic this week , is a dispute , arising out of -be Su _^ ar Question , _affecting the character of the Colonial Office , and by implication , of the * JIinistry generally . Lord G . Bentinck , in the course -of his speech on the West Indian Question , on Friday , the 23 rd . ult ., repeated mors elaborately a charge which he . had previoKcly preferred—namel ' v , that most 'important
despatches had been withheld from = the Committee of which he was Chairman , an £ which was appointed to _g .. amine and report on the state cf the Colonies , ahd the-requisite remedies . In the _first . _sstance , one _despnteh only was-mentioned as _hnving beer _.-suppressedthru of Sir Charles-Grey , the Governor-of Jamaica . But Lord George , in r-epeatisg the -chartre . entered into an elaborate narrative of
facts , tc prove that , -besides that document , sever , ' : ! -ether despatches from tte < Governors of other-Colonies , had . akobeen k <; pt back . All -these despatches were . favourable to _theaiewg of the _il'rotectionist - - Members ef the (' om - r ; itte « ,. acd recommended a _differeatial _d-rlv of _ese penny or twopence * , pound , & s . _a protection against _compatitiaa with slave-grown suijar . " 'The Committee was very nicely balanced en the subject , and the _realist 0-V . he _eliargeiiv- hat the _Government _suppressed all the . _evidence ( as far as tbe . despatchee _received froE- the-Governors erf Colonies _coiad t-irew light upon .-the question ) , in favour of the colon- , _-tfhile , at the -same time , thay . harried before the _Committeedocuments-sent Ivy
_inferice- . Colonial officers , Att . ; ch were savourable to the . Erse Trade view . Mr _Eawes , the _Undar Secretary foe ths Colonies , who was examined by the _Committee 2 E 0 ut rtie time -feat . ( _. evernor Grey ' s despatch ___ rrive _ i , affected to misunderstand the questions put to aim , and , _notw-Hhstanding all the tact of Mr . Goulburn , _oRddifiot be brought to admit tkat s _ vch a despatch had . been received . Thu * was-somewhat _singular , because , bv his own admission , tbe _doQ-xment was _Minuted by all through whose hands it passed , 22 being mostimportant , and _oue . th _* -trequired to he immediately laid before the -Committee . He himself minuted it to that _eSeet , as did
Lord Grey , the head of the office , let , _notwithstanding this admission of its importance , it never made its _appearance until after the Committee had closed _, its proceedings , and then had to be f orced nut with other despatches _Lv a formal motion of Lord G . _Bentinck . asd further , a full month elapsed after thev = "ere ordered by lhe House before they made their appearanee _. Under these circ-im = tanees , there could be only one of two Inferences—either that the business of the Colonial Office is conducted in the most dover . lv , care . ee- * , and disgraceful way , or that tiie heads of that Office had deliberately conspired to suppress all the evidence which told _2 gainst their own view ? .
Lord John Hut-sell affected a great deal of virtuous indignation , lost his temper , and _indulged in a persona ! attack on Lord G- Bentinck , which shocked even his own side of the House , and was met by an almost unanimous burst of disapprobation . On Monday , the charge led to more explanations and speeches , the Ministry still trying the dodge of converting the charge into an imputation on the personal honour and character of the two Members of the Government implicated in the affair , but resolutely shirking the real question at issue—the wav in which the business of the
Colonial Office is conducted , and the animus bv which it had been actuated in the matter . It is all verv well to say that there must have been a " mistake "—that there was no " intention" of keeping back these despatches , and to throw the blame on the subordinates _, of = orae unaccountable neglect . The fact stares everybody in the face , that all the documents which told in favour ofthe Colonists were kept back , while every scrap of evidence which went _against them , and which arrived at the same time , was sent to the Committee It is impossible to account for this , except by one supposition , that it was done intentionally , - „ n 1 the ' - _emanation " of his own conduct ,
offered hv Earl Grey , in the House ot Lords , on Tuesday _aitrht , proves that this must have been tbe _cie . " We do not mean to say that he admits the wilful suppression of the evidence No ! Like his Colleagues , it is only a <• ' mistake . " And he , too , is vastly and most virtuously indignant at the idea that he would act in sucb away as that . imputed , to bm
Parlia-Mextary Review. The Only Notable ...
But in the very middle of these disclaimers . ! ; _-nd these boastings of his high honour and integrity , he admits having used a certain document in the House of Lords , in a way which is quite conclusive as to the political morality of the noble Lord . In the month of February , Lord Stanley j brought the West Indian question before the Lords , and read documents to show that , in consequence of our _Legislation , it was not possible to raise 1 , 000 / . upon a single property in Jamaica , Trinidad , or Demerara . To this Earl Grey replied , as appeared conclusively .
He stated , that he had _received a document from Planters in the Western part of Jamaica _, who stated , that since Emancipation they had invested not less than 142 , 000 / . in the purchase of Plantations in tbe Colony . He adduced this to show what a change of system was in progress in the Island ; and that in a few years the soil of Jamaica would be cultivated by Planters carrying on business for themselves , and _forming resident owners or lessees of the l _' . ind . it will be _remembered , that one favourite proposition bv which the Whigs and Free Traders attempt
to account for the ruinous position of the Planters is , that it is mainly owing to the _absentee proprietors having tbeir estates extravagantly managed by agents . Such ; i statement as that of Lord Grey , seemed to back up that view , and to prove that it * capitalists would only look after their own business , they would be aide to compete successfully with _( _"slave-frrown Sugar . Will it be believed , however , that the documents from which Lord Grey professed to quote this confirmation of his opinions , in reality contained facts directl y the reverse ? The Memorialists
stated that thev did not expect any return for the 142 , 000 / . they had invested . They calculated a gross return of G 0 , S 00 / . for their then crop , to be placed _against a positive annual outlay of 60 : 300 / ., leaving only 500 / . to go towards the interest of the yearly expenditure , and totally p recluding the recovery of a single _sbillins of the original capita !; and they added , not only that they could not cultivate for another year themselves , bnt that unless some more effectual methods were taken of protecting- them against slave-labour Sugar , cultivation must _wfeolly cease in -Jamaica . It will be seen , therefore , that tliii -lill _^ lG fact of 14-.. O 0 OL having been invested since Emancipation in the island , was _violently wrested from its connexion
with others , and by a most dishonest distortion , made to produce an _imyrrefxion the very reverse of that the Memorialists intended . Whea charged with this distortion for such palpably dishonest purposes . Lord Grey replies , " I accepted the testimony of the memorial as to the factsof the-case , but ' l did 'not abide by _itsauthority _. in matters of opinion . " Why , thefacts ast-o the number of tons of sugar to be _expec-ted from a given number of acres- ; the price of sugar per ton , and the sum total which the planter would receive to cover his outlay , were all as much " facts of the case , " as the single fact of 145 , 000 / . having been invested ; rrnd nothing but an utter absence o ' i all sense df right and wrong , eould cause any man to pursue so dis-• _jTBceful _a-course .
We have dwelt afniGre length ujc-ontnesubject than it deserves , if judged by its intrinsic merits ; but as a specimen ofthe morality ofthe men in office , and ofthe temper ard spirit in which they administer the affairs of a great nation , its importance cannot'Ire overrated . _Nstwithstanding the hackand hireling journals of'the party abuse Lord G . _Bentii _*^ : for baring shown the paltry _tricksters up , and affect to be-ieve that , the ' Ministry are _entirely exculpated , there can be no done , that 'the eountry at large will pass a just verdict upon the facts ofthe case .
'What with such _qanrrels and « tner _obstrwe . _trens to business , arising out of tfce inefneieney of our precious Ministry , business gets slowly on—they will neither do anything themselves ; ner suffer -ethers to i . o anything . Tuesday is now the only day open to individual members . Mr Ewart tad a motion on the _subject of the _Equalisation of Taxation , for last _Tuesday . ; It was an inconvenient one , and-sc the _Ministers prevented a Hence from -being made . Sir _Gecrge Grey- denied that that was * the case ,-on Wednesday ; -but these who _saw'dir TufFnellj the Treasury " whipper _, " drag out of the House into .--the lobby , more members than -would have mr . de up _t-ie _requirdt . forty , know whst reliance to place upon thatdenial .
Ir . short , urhat _u-itii the incorepetency of the . _^ Ministry tc transact business _,-fc ' _ie divided state of parties in the-House , and- the late period of the session , we may [ expect to see it _n-. _B-Lap with tiie _beggarly account of measures we have aJready-so frequently , presented , as the sole results of the first _-session of the new * Whig Parliament-. It was boasted , whan it _waafirst elected , thatrit contained . c greater nurrrberof middle-class—and as a eo , n _« qiience , practical businest men -. than had _ev-er sat in any previous Parliament . Great expectations were _ascertained . " remit . We put it to the _middle-relassesthemselves _^ feverin tbe .-history of Parliaments there was a more .-complete failure _? If the Ten Pound Fram-hise , and
the _middkrclass representatives , can give usno better representation _ihart-this , every one must admit , that a Reform < of some kind or . other is exceedingly . desirable . The _foiling _mi-Eoss of this counir-y are , and liave : for a long period been , suffering most _severely from the _depression of trade ,. and the _ti-ausasd and one burfens laid upoa them by the _unjust political , fiscal , and social arrangements . If Legislation can do nothing to relieve their _sufferings— - _ifitJiese institutions are unsusceptible of
improvement—let : i _ s do away with the mockery of a _representative system _altogether . But if , on it ' -e other band , it is believed that the wants and Abe intelligence ofthe whole , p & ople ought to be . adequately _represented intheir . own Chamber of the Legislature , and that through that medium alone can a firm foundation 'be laid for just and equitable lews , then it becomes the duty of _, eyery lover of his country to exert himself tothe utmost , to procure a Radical and sweeping Reform in the system of _sending representatives to that House .

The Conference Which Has Just Dosed Its ...
The Conference which has just dosed its sittings Liverpool stands prominent above all its _predecesrs for its high tone of moral feeling and improved _imes _arrangemen s Onfe sentiment 8 eemed toperde all hearts-not sullied b y one particl e of selfish-: ss or ill feeling a desire to perfect the good work well begun . 1 here never was a meeting 0 £ work g men where so much and . such important business
s accomplished in so short a time , and with so al an absence o £ those bitter and acrimonious lings ' which too frea / _iently disfigure similar meet-; s . There was but one thing wanting to perfect 3 satisfaction felt by all who were present and iisted in its deliberation ; and that was the prelce in renovated health of our beloved and lionrcd President . We are quite . nre that he would ve derived the bighest gratification could he have messed the perfect baruuray which prevailed _, e venture to anticipate the happiest result consc-[ ent upon fhis last session pA Labour's Parliament . The Central Committee vrill resume its duties
_i-ith increased , vigour , ana find themselves stimuated to _renewed activity , by the consciousness that heir _ptsf . conduct has bsen stamped by the approval if those whose interest , thev are so desirous of pro . notrag . We look forward with perfect confidence to an rffmediate reaction- —we are certain that tbe trades who have hitherto stood aloof from the movement ivill _ ee the necessity of no longer obstructing so accessary _ais organisation . By the alterations which have been made in the laws , all parties -can assist in forward im , ' the good work , without ra any way interfering with existing societies ? and we trust that , before the year closes " , wc shall have a confederation so perfect and numerically powerful , as shall malce proud capital confine its operations within those bounds marked out by iustfce and'humanity .
_Ataong'the alterations which have been adopted , _ths'Srilargemen ; and more frequent publication of _otfr Report is one of the most important , and best o & iculated to advance ourobjecls . The Central Committee will turn thdr immediate attention to this j subject , _< and endeavour to make the ' Association ' s i-Report' under , perhaps , a more expressive name—a _: valuable medium of communication between the 1 various bodies in connexion with us , upon all trades ' : _matufo , and a powerful means of exposure of the disgraceful impositions practised by the uuprin-;¦ ciple _£ portion of theemployers upon those within ! their power . We therefore trust our friends will j make it their chief ¦ duty to aid , by every possible means , its circulation . With increased space , and
more frequent publication , we shall be able more effectually to render it the truthful exponent of these vital principles which , when properly understood , is destined to place lebour in that dignified po _. ition originally assigned te it . We shall also be better able to expose the-cobweb fallacies of that dangerous school of political philosophy , whose aim and end appears to be to reduce the manufacturing labourers of the British Isles to the condition of serfs . We _alsohope to be eble , through its pages , to give constant evidence of the spirit of conciliation which is thc fundamental principle upon which our Association is established , while , at the same time , we shall be found the unmitigated foes to the _oppressors of labour .
_M e shall invite all our friends to forward us their contributions -and suggestions , to whicii its columns will always bo 3 pen—subject , of course , to the usual editorial privilege of condensation and curtailment , when requisite . Its transmission free through the post , will . enable the poorest of our members to inffolfre in the 1 _'jxury of a weekly instructor at the EGiallest possible cost . We therefore hope they will assist us zealously and continuously in spreading the principle of the Association , through the medium of the weekly report .
. It is the _intention of the Central Committee to take the earliest opportunity of actively agitating the country ; and , in answer to the various applications which have been sent to the Committee on this subject , since the Conference , the Central Committee beg to say , that this agitation will commence as soon as the Central Committee have been able to clear off the-business which has necessarily got into arrears by the Conference , and have perfected the now arrangements rendered necessary by the alteratiow : in the laws , and the requisite revision and reprintinc the same .
' _, The report of the Conference proceedings will , we are sure , be read with deep interest . The report of the Committee , of the past year ' s proceedings , -proves , we think , to demonstration , the infinite _-superiority of national over sectional organisation . The long catalogue of cases in which , under the moot discouraging circumstances , we have been enabled to obtain benefits for our members , proves the irresistible power pf combined action . We have but to continue in the course so judiciously pursued hitherto , to place us in a truly proud position . In our nest report we shall be able to present our members with an outline of our future arrangeiments , in connexion with the weekly report .
NOTICE . The new edition of the rules , with the various alterations and additions , passed by the Conference , are in the press , and also the new contribution card , and will be forwarded to the members at the earliest convenience .

• Qbeax Tcbn-0 ot at Bacop , _Lahcashibe . —• On Thursday the llth of May , the hands employed ot thirteen mills In tho above town , and its neighbourhood , left their employment , In consequence of notices of very _aerlous reductions having been given on tho part ofthe milLorvner _., and wbich _.. plred on tbat day . Attempts at arbll . _ation were set on foot , and two of the _maglstrates , James Whitaker and George Ormond , Esquires actuated by tho most praiseworth y and humane motives , colled a meeting of employers , and one of the operatives from each mill , to meat them , with a view to bring about an amicable arrangement , rather than rislt the alternative ofa Btrike , On the daj appointed the meeting was held at the _Qeerge nnd Dragon Inn , Bacup ; the magistrates , togother with seven of the monufac _^
_turers , were In attendance . After a lengthen . d discussion between the employers and employed , the moetinR broke up , without arriving at any decision ; the hands , to the number of nearly two thousand , in consequence , have , during the last seven weeks , been subsisting upon charity , at the rate of one _shtllln _,, ' per head per week reoeived from tho public , by going round the surround ! im ? towns and villages begging br . ad , disc . The result of this attempt on the part of the employers , has reduced the operatives to the lowest stato of destitution ; and it may be easily conceived that , under such circumstance's , t-oir privations must be of the most intense charaoter . Tfce hands at Bacup , of late , have suffered very heavy reductions in wages , la common with other towns in £ - n _ aB _' re ; indeed a portion of those noiv on strike had but recently resumed work , after having beon out
for some seven or eight months ; andothers also have been out about fifteen or sixteen wetks to tho present time . The reductions offeredby tho manufacturers are various , varying from ten to tweaty per cent , This statement is set forth to the trades generally throughout the kingdom , to _induca them to tako into their serious consideration the _crbb of these oppressed men , whose noblo and gallant stand on this occasion , is worthy the attention of all who aro interested In the _preservation of wages . One halfpenny per member froa . Trades Socletied would place these poor men In a position which wonld effectually cnablo them to withstand this alarming and unjust encrocchmont upon their means of living . It is to be hoped tbis appeal will uot be mado ia vain . Contributions will be thankfully received and duly acknowledged by Mr Nuttall , secretary , Water . Btreet , near the Waterloo Hotel , Bacup .
Tbo following resolution , iu connexion with tho above case , was carried un _ ni ___ ous * y at the Conference Of tin National Association of United Trades , hold in Llrer » pool on Whit Monday;— ' That tbis Conference is of opinion that the delegates on their return to their different districts do use their beat ondeavours to collect monies to assist tha Bacup trades ; and this _Coaforenco is further of opinion that the _Csntral Committee ought to do all in its power for these poor men , as we doeply sympathise with tbem . N _. B , —Subscriptions in aid of the above can be for . Larded to Mr T , Barratt , 11 , Tottenham _Oourt-road , ondon .

Pafiis , Friday . —* During several days , amid _t _^ ei profound tranquillity that Paris appeared to enjoy , the agents ot disorder have been busy in preparing a popular movement ofa very alarming character . Ia all the clubs , in-door and out-door , they have bean stimulUing tho people to rise and demand the lib _ & . tion of iW . Barbes , and , if it be refused to proceed fc > Vincennes , and deliver him by force . Ia every possible case they have induced the people to sign a p & - _titionl ' or _thereleaoe of M . Bathes , and _asort of pledge ti restore him to liberty , at _tSe hazard of theirLve 8 » One hundred and fifty thousand men are said to _bav & already signed this petition and this engagement , _anfl these men are to assemble to-day , and carry their petition to the Assembly . They have be ? n collecting since an early hour this morning . ' We give the following account from the Joim >*___ des Debats of Friday : —¦
For some days past the government , pressed by the energetic reeolutioDs of the Assembly , haa considered it its duty to take measures for the dissolutioa of the ateliers nationaux , A fresh ' census bas bearmade , and 12 , 000 men have inscribed their named as being ready to go tre provinces wherever their _... rvices may be required . Some agitators went _amt . _rsj them , aud endeavoured to excite discontent , by telling them that they would be ill-treated in the provinces , and that tho _^ e wbo had already gone had been _beatea by the country people . On Thursday morning a _bindl -d aboul 400 workraen ' proceeded to the _Luxembourg * and demanded an interview with the Executive Committee . M . Marie consented to receive a deputr . ti . n , ;» nd live of tbe number were introduced . The
_forarno-st of them wishing to address ftl . Marie , the latter refused to hear him , fellies bim that aa ha formed part of the band whioh had invaded the chamber , he could not consider him as the organ of the workmen , and turning \ o the other four . aid ,, ' You are not the slaves of that man , you can point out your wishes as well as he can . ' M . Marie , aftsr listening with the most patient attention to their _com-laints , sought to dissuade them from _allowing themselves to be led away by agitators , who wished ! to put them into a state of rebellion against authority and society . Ue fully assured them that the gov . rnraent were zealously employed in considering of the best means of improving their condition . It would appear that the delegates had not correctly reported to their comrades the remarks of M . Marie , for they aaid that he had called them slaves . The whole bans . then began to raise cries of ' A bas Mario ! ' A ba »
la Commission Executive ! ' " A bas _l'Assemblee I Some of them ran towards the belfry of the Churoh oi Saint Surplice , near whioh they had waited the return of their delegates , evidently with the _intentieu of sounding the tocsin , but , fortunately their intention was foreseen and the door closed . The band _tijei . proceeded towards the Faubourgs Saint Antoine and Marceau , gradually increasing in number- as it went . In the evening it took up its station eu the PJace da la Ba . tille , and the Barnere du Trone , _Commiasaitiea of police received orders to proceed to the spat to disperse them . The only cries wbich were raised were ' Vive Napoleon ! ' * Vive l'Empereur ! ' * A baa Marie ! ' ' Nona resterons ! ' The government fearing that these perturbators might proceed to the Assembly , ordered the armed force there to be increased , and General Negrier , one of the _questors of the Chamber , took the command of all the troopa oa duty .
'MiDNionT . —The manifestations made during the day by a part of the workmen of the _ateliersnationanx caused agitation in Paris during the evening . "The neighbourhood of the Hotel de Ville was crowded with people , and numerous bands were also assembled on different points of the Boulevards . At about eight o ' clock the PJace du Pantheo- was covered wiil . several thousand workmen , Irom whence they proceeded in a column , with a flag at their head » towards the Place de la Bastille and the Quartie ? Saint Antoine . Every precaution was taken at the
Hotel do Ville , and after the above column _harj passed through it was surrounded by the armerJ force . The National Guards were called out by summons at their respective houses , but the rappel was not beaten ; and at ten _o ' clock a large force took np their station on the Place . At eleven o'clock a battalion of the line march 3 d into the prefecture of police , and the peristyle of the Palais de Jastice wasguard _.-i by a body of the Garde Mobile , and at all the _Mairisa a large force was Irept in reserve . The night passed off without any collision . '
( From the Times . ) tub insurrection— thb barricades , - ' Paris , Friday Afternoon—The alarm was giver . and the rappel beaten this morning about _nina o'clock , at which moment vast anxiety prevailed throughout the metropolis . At that time I proceeded to the Hotel de Ville , near whieh a number of people had gathered together in small groups . The street * in the neighbourhood of the Tuileries preseat-d * a similar appearance of anxiety . I have since traversed almost all Paris , and found the same feelings prevailing everywhere . At about the time that I reaohedthe Hotel de Ville the _insurgeits commenced throwing up barricades at the Portes St Denis and St Martin , the Faubourgs of the same name , the
Place de la Bastille and the Faubourg St Antoine . ! At about half-past tea o ' olock the conflict betweeQ tbem and tbe armed force commenced . A body of some twenty-five men , commanded by a captain , attacked a formidable barricade at the Porte St Martin . The barricade waa finally captured and _destroyed , but only alter a hard conflict , io which many were killed and wounded . The barricades in the Faubourg St Martin were taken without much resistance . Some 200 of the _iasurgents had taken possession of the barracks in tho Faubourg St Martin , but they were boob _expelled from them by troops of the line , assisted by a body of National Gaards .
