National Defences, Or What Have Rail. Wa...
NATIONAL DEFENCES , OR WHAT HAVE RAIL . WAY LABOURERS TO DEFEND \ TO THE EDITOR OF IHE _NOBTHE & N STAR . Sib , —My attention has been attracted to tbe different _oceans that have been proposed for ( he better defence of the nation , and amongst these I find there aro parties who recommend the enrolment of the railway labourers ( for that purpose ) who are now out of employment . I having been one of that Class of men for the last ten y _^ ars , deem it my imperative duty to use my little ability to awaken my fellow woi king men 10 a Beuse of their present poBitiou ; and I would advise those partieB who recommend the enrolment of the navvies _^ to try their skill on soma other class of men , for I am perfectly persuaded that if the nation is never secure until the navvitB _. bava to defend it , it will have to remain insecure
until doomsday . I would ask what havo the railway labourers to defend ? I bave _worked on different railway s , ond have never seen anything worth tho defending exce pt it bo slavery , tommy shops , fever sheds , and many things more , that are repugnant to tho laws of equity nnd humanity . I ask , is slavery worth drfendlng , Where the poor man is driven to work like a beast , and in many cases compelled to work in places where his life Is in imminent danger every moment , to satisfy the avarice of a greedy contractor ? Is the truck system worth defending—a system both unjust and erael ? Instead of tbe workman getting his wages every week , and spending ( t to the best advantage , he is compelled to take inferior goods out of the tommy shop , and pay the highest price for them , and , in mo st ins t ances , shor t
weight in the bargain . And I have actually known the pay day put off for nine wetks , in order to compel the men to take their goods from the shop ; ant ) any man that was discontent was sent to tha office for his money , and had no more employment . There are also what we term the fever sheds , which tho masters build , by nailing a few half-inch boards together . Their dimensions are , generally , six yards by fivo on the ground floor , and many of them without any other apartments ; and I havo known twenty human beings—men , wemen . and children—pig togother in these miserable huts , fer which tho tenant has paid six shillings per week . So much for jour humane railway contractors , These are the noble institutions they wish us to defend . But tbe navvies are not such Idiots as all tbat . Although
they aro generally termed nn ignorantand immoral class of men , yet they are a class that are beginning to boldly assert their rights as men , and as citizens of the world . Though wo are ignoraat our motto is , 'No vote , no musket . ' It is true we have a great many men who are interested In railways who have a seat in tha British House of Commons , but is ever tho case of the poor navvicv mentioned with a view to _bettering their social and moral condition ? I askl will an engineer , a contractor , or a railway chairman or director ever mention the abominable truck system , with a view of _taking more stringent measures to utterly abolish it ? Will an ™ one of them , if they were to sit in tbat house of class legis . _lation for a century , _eter bring forward a motion with the design to remove the grievances which wo have to
contend with ? No , never . Then I would ask how c « uld they expect us to defend the nation , when its legislators aro continually concocting plans to trample the working classes under tbeir feot , and keep them there « Wo _. ' _as a c 1 » bs , are convinced that things have gone on this way long enough , nnd we _arecenfident that we shall never be free from tyranny ; that , as working men , we _Bhall never be placed in that proud position which the Almig hty designed ; that we shall never be , in reality , men amongst men , or bo enabled to sing with truth , and a patriotic ze » l , 'Britons never shall be Rlaves _, " until we get that bguI . enlivening bill—the _People ' s Charter . Up then , brother navvies , put your shoulders to the wheel ; show the legislature you are not so Ignorant as they
_lakeynu to be . Lotus back our unflinching chief , Feargus O'Connor , Esq . M . P ., with all tbe means in our po w er . Recollect , time is precious , and the petition for the People ' s Charter is being prepared . The working classes are uniting , and are we to be behind ? No ! rather let us one and all unito with them . Let tho Charter , as with the speed , ot the _quickest locomotive , run through the land . Let us hoist the standard of liberty on every railway—In every cutting—on every embankment . Organise , agitate , demand- * then " will our tyrants behold our position with amasoment— . then will proud oppression leave our shores , never daring more to show Ha baneful head , on what we may then call truly Britain ' s favoured Isle .

THE CAPABILITIES OF THE LAND . TO THE ' EMTOIt OF THE NORTHERN STAR . _Sta , — -About two years ago , the Hon . E . R . Pelr « . apportioned twslve acres of land into forty-tight allotments , for cottage gardens for the workvng ' _men of _Selby , each occupant holding one quarter of an acre at an anneal rent _Jbf fiftt « n shillings . On Tuesday evening last , tho working men ofSelby called a public meeting , for the purpose of _memorialising the honourable gentleman to allot more land to other parties on similar conditions . I attended their meeting as a casuil observer to bear what they had to say on the subject , and whether
any and what benefit had been obtained und « r such un . favourable circumstances ( having a con _. iderable distance to go to and from their g « r , Jen » . ) Several of ire parties who occupy the above named allotments _werepreeen _» at this meeting , and stated publicly , before their neighbours , who had _tbemoans of knowing « _bether their statements were t * ue or false , that they bad the last year realised from fifteen to twenty pounds , by the sale of the produce of one quarter of an acre of land . One man , whose name Is John Copley , said that he had sold upwards of twenty pounds worth of produce from his own plot , besides supplying his family with vegetables all the year , which he estimated at _ona shilling per week . I mentioned thia circumstauca to a gentleman , a
baDker le this town , who told me that he had last year token up In his own gdrdan , a plot of early _potatoss ; he had _thsm sold at a market price ; he then measured the ground , and found that the produce was at tbo rate of _dghty pounds per acre . A short time _slnco , I was in company with a Ur Buckle , of Kelfield , near Selby . A gentleman asked bim In my presence , what was the greatest amount of money that he ever made in one year from one aere of land ! He said , 'I once sold an acre of early potatoes ( ash topklndeys ) foreighty-five pounds ;
I then planted the same ground again with tbe same kind of potatoes , I sold the second crop for forty-five pounds , making & total in one year , from one acre of land , one hundred and thirty pounds . ' I believe thia man never rented more than six acres ef land ; I believe he also kept a small public-house in tbe village ; he had , I wa s t old , realised a very handsome independence , and chiefly by _tfie produce of these sis acres of land . There are eeveral men ia this village who only occupy two acres ef land—who maintain their families well without working for any other person .
I have given the names and address of thoBe persons , so that any person ma ; satisfy himself of the truth of this statement , 1 am , Mr _' Edltor , Yours , fai t hfull y , Selby , Jan . 26 th . Johh _Lintoit .

y , twelve months the shoemakers formed a club , ) wishing it to be made known tbat bis high wages were the cause of it , while in reality it arose from a deep-rooted conviction that ihf > y were a badly paid elass of men . Thirdly , tie again _waika atthe outer edge of t _* » e truth , when h e says , they did not present him with a list of wages ; they did present him with a list of wages , b u t he never p aid the extras . I pass over his allusion to the masters ' meeting , merely remarking that had be had any power to _astist tbem he would have been a fit tool , for while he C & ntingly pretends to be a friend of that class of which he is one ; he is , as far as in him lies , their bitterest foe ; and in his inconsistent opposition to tbe Land Plan ( of which he is a-member , ) I only see a fuller development of th _086 vicious principles he seems bo proud of , and which are well known and thoroughly despised in Ayr .

Tour Society Has Had An 'Existence Of Tw...
Tour society has had an ' existence of twenty-one ears it was founded to protect ite members from the agres dons of unprincipled employers , _and to afford Un vera bers the means of subsistence ) when unemployed . Erery member to tbe present time bas enjoyed equal rights , — act ) had hit vote , and all were eligible to fill any office Ir the society . Oar Institution haB ever been democratic in i t s form of government , and our rulers the true rt flex ofthe will of the majority , cheerfully obeyed by alt . But a time ban now arrived when there is not only & _manifest disposition to change tha policy hitherto pur * sued , but even the form of government itself . Some of the members of tbe council have given expression to these sentiments , They see the society extending , and
think the _difficulties to govern It will bo increased ; and being Ignorant ofthe true principles tbat aught to govern a society , and not believing in the doci' _ine that ' persuasion is better than force , ' are imitating the worst features Of _ariBtOcraticnl governments . They are f r using Rags nnd penalties to stifle tbe voice of com . plaint , and thus coerce into silence those who have the honesty ond courage to tell them their tyranny is not just . They « xcla ' m that 'democracy in our _societ y must be put down ; ' and some of their supporters in tho Manchester branches have re-echoed back ' Feargus O'Connor , Chartism must be put down , or we shall give offence to our employers , ' p » rlicularly by some noisy roller turners and spindle makers , wbo were through policy admitted into No . 1 , and who bave by different means contrived to worm their way to the head of affairs in that branch , and aro uow instruments la the hands nf
the council to effect their knarisb ends . Your council is determined to bear down all opposition ; t o c a rry every thing with _« a high hand—they are adopting a aystern of centralisation , —they call themselves an ' omnipotent board , ' and are _determined to rule supreme . ' To effect their object , without awakening suspicion , thsy issued banking schedules to every brnnoh , to be filled up according to Instructions , and then returned ; this was done under the pretence of ascertaining if the funds were safe , and banted according to rule , while their real object was te be put in possession ofthe nanus of proprietors and managers of banks where each branch had deposited money , They will next call for the names of your trustees ; by these means tbey will gain a power over your money , and thus coerce any refractory branch into submission to tbeir unjust commands by arresting tbeir funds . This was once tbe _caeo with Glasgow .
The'Executive held a meeting on tbe 22 nd ult ., when the banking returns were examined , and the _tollowing twenty-fire branches were found to be not banking according to rale : —London , North london , Stratford , Norwich , Woolwich , Hanley , _Congleton , Smethwick , _Bavasley , Manchester No . 1 and 2 , Heywood , Rochdale , Moons Mill , Preston , Accrington , Todmorden , _Cleckheatoa . North and South Shields , Darlington Shots Iron _Werks Edinburch , Dublin , Daudalk , and Cork . The council in all these cases passed the following reso lution . — ' We _rospectfully request you to bank in conformity with rule . ' Theu came en the Land nnd Labour Bank question . I t was candidl y acknowledged that neither No , 4 , nor 5 , nor the Derb y branches , had violated any rule , '—their mode of banking was * ln confor . mity . to rule , ' but the bank was the objection , and they must suspend those branches ; but they now discovered for the first time , thatthey had not the power , so they
ngreed to the following resolution : — ' That we take the sense of the society on the propriety of suspending Ne . 4 _braacb Tou will ask why not include Ne . 5 and Derb y . The reason Is beeauao they had a wish to deceive tho society . If they obtain power to suspend one they will then mspand all three , and the Hull branch afterwards . Tbe councillor fer No . 5 demanded that branch should be put in the same boat-with No . i ; this was granted . Ha thtm proposed , 'that _Nos . 4 and 5 should be allowed a small space iu the next circular of the council to state their reasons for not acceding to tbeir decision , ' that the society might , after hearing the defence , come to a crrrect conclusion ; * that it was unjust to condemn thera without a hearing ; ' but this was not allowed them . Brother members , reflect before yon entrust the power of suspension to such' omnipotent' and ' supreme' gentry , whose only object is to disunite tbo _society . Remember that * Union is _etiength , division is _weakness , '
Although there are so many branches Bot banking according to rule , they do not ask for them to be suspended in the event of non-compliance , but you are asked to suspend Nob . 4 and 5 , —not for violating rules , —not because the Land and Labour Bank Is unsafe , but because It Is « a political "bank , and without allowing them to speak in self-defence . The report does not ask to suspend tho Derby branch , nor doeB it mention Hull but if you give the council power to suspend one , these two will also be * suspended , and some of yon may fall victims to these ignoramuses . Remember , It _l « unwise and indiscreet to entrust power to fools . Tbis council , contrary to the practice ef all preceding ones , has adopted the plan of meeting in the day time , at leait they havo done so twice ; for these services , they receive
tbe trifling sum » f 9 s . 2 d . p-r day ! in addition to second- i class travelling fare , which cos t * tbe society 111 , _I 9 j , lOd , rather too much to pay for these « omnipotent' _aristo _' cra ' _-B io apout their ' _oupreme' ignorance and folly ! Only 99 , 2 d . a d « >•! T hlnk of that y ou 300 unemployed and starving mechanics of Manchester ; you , who on Thursday , Jan 27 th , hold a meeting at the Golden EagU , and agreed to beg the society would _transport you to America or some _, where else , and especially you who have run through jour donation , and bave nothing to subsist upon but a precarious bounty doled out to you b y the cold hand of charity . This is one of many ways the aristocrats of your trade bave of lavishing the funds © f the seciety upon themselves , Remember that with three-fourths of the present amount of _csntributiona you formerly re . csived more than double the amount of donation in one year , You pay 8 d . per week and receive £ 1 10 s . Tou
formerly paid 61 . per week and _rewired £ IS 10 s . Let me advise you , Instead of talking about' Emigration , ' while yoa are starving In the streets , or breaking stones , ana heaping up monuments to your own degradation , — you who are picking oikum at 6 d , per day , or you , who with your families ha \ e been obliged to take up your residence in thoso dens of human misery and slaughter houses , called union bastilles , ta go to your respective branches and tell thera jou pay more and receive less ; that there is £ 24 , 000 yet in the funds , and you are po . risblng for want of the common _necessaries of life . Tell th . ra the machinery for governing the society is too _^ pensive , and demands a reformation . Insist upon having a fair share of your own money , —nothing shorl of the sum formerly allowed . Then go to the council and compel them to do you justice , —if they refuse , recall them and elect new members .
1 wish it to be distinctly understood there are a few exceptions in the council who seem to be willing to march In the right direction , _Ohu _whd has bbkn Fifteen Yiabs a Member or Mechanics Socutt .

IP 3 WICH . TO THE EDITOR OF THS _NOBTHEBW STAB . Dear Sib , —Having occasion to refer to the Stab nf the 15 th ult .. I observed on the 7 th page a paragraph containing Addison ' s estimate of scepticism , by inaertimj which I conceive that you have unwittingl y done a cer ! tain amouHt of _injusticn to the opinions of a largo por " tion of your _follow-tbinkers . I beg to call your attention to the following extract from Lord Bacon ' s Essay _, oh _Supebstition , and thero can be little doabt that th « opinion of the author of the A _' _oiwro Organon is worthy of equal attention with that of the writer of tbo _paragraph In question . *
Lord Bacon says , « Atheism leaves man to reason philosophy , natural piety , laws , reputation , and every thing tbat can serve to conduct him to virtue ; bat super , stitlon destroys all these , and erects itself into a tyranny over the understanding of men ; hence Atheism never disturbs tbe government , but renders man more clearsighted , since he sees nothing beyond tbe boundaries of the Present life . ' By Inserting these remarks you will be awarding tha full meed of justice to tha opinions of those who are as earnest in their desires for the welfare of their
fellowcreatures , and the elevation of humanity , as tbe most sincere Christian , and you will also greatly oblige , Yours , in the cause of Democracy , John Cook .
Our National Defences. Public Meetings. ...
OUR NATIONAL DEFENCES . PUBLIC MEETINGS . Bridgwater . —A _meeting , very numerously attended , was held at the Public-room , on TueBday , January 25 , when a petition to Parliament waa agreed upon by a large majority , praying that no increase might be made in tne annual grants of money for warlike purposes . The petition further showed , that the petitioners deprecated even the agitation of the question , as it was calculated to excite observ . _'tion and distrust among tbe continental governments , and to kindle a spirit of animosity and war with nations between whom there is now a good understanding . Mr T . Clark presided at the
meeting . Prb 9 Ton . —At a very crowded public meeting of the inhabitants of Preston , held in the _Temperancebal ) , on Thursday of last week , the following petition to the Ilouse of Commons wa 3 unanimously adopted : — Your petitioners havo heard with astonishment and regret , that it is intended to incroase the present enor . mous expenditure of the country in the army , navy , aud ordnance departments ; and this after _thirty-two years of 3 general peace with all the powers of Europe , and the recent _assur-ince in the speech from the threne of the continued amicable disposition of these powers toward Great Britain . Your petitioners believe that the best means of preserving international peace is to
conduct the foreign policy of the country on just , Christian , and pacific principles , to promote the utmost freedom of commercial intercourse , and to abstain from intermeddling with the quarrels er domestic affairs of other nations . Your petitioners further believe that a large reduction , rather than an Increase ot _' the exiiting bocalled 'Peace Establishments' of this country , would be calculated to promote the continuance of peace , and that the example of such redaction would have the best possible effect on the disposition and policy of the other powers and nations of Europe . Your petitioners , _therafore _, earnestly pray your honourable hous * not to sanction any increase of the naval and military expenditure oft he country , but to tako measures for a large and early retrenchment thereof .
Drighlingtoj * . —A public meeting of the ' . inhabitants of _Drighlington was held at the Mechanics ' Institute there , on the 26 th ult , when resolutions opposed to the increase of the army were unanimously adopted . Their spirit and tenor may ba gathered from the following , which was the third resolution : — That this meeting , believing that the maintenance of war establishments is opposed te the teaching of Christianity , tends to _retard tbe progress of tha people ia civilisation and liberty , and is calculated more than all other causes to excite strife and bloodshed throughout the world , is decidedly of opinion tbat all warlike establishments should be abandoned , and a system ef international arbitration established . A petition to the same effect was adopted , and is to be forwarded to Mr Cobden , for presentation to parliament .
Sheffield . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of Sheffield took place on Thursday , in the Friends ' Meeting-hoove , in that town , on the subject of the national defences . The following address was unanimously adopted : — We , the inhabitants of Sheffield , in England , in public meeting assembled , impressed with tbe conviction tbat the bonds of amity are strengthened between nations , as well at individuals , by friendly inter-communication , present this address to you , onr _brethren in France , earnestly desiring tbat tbe cordial feeling whieh thus actuates us may find an echo in your hearts . We hava no unity with those who would sow the seeds ef dissec tion between us , or who are watchful to construe the acts of one people into causes of jealousy and suspicion to the othir . We can see no reason for mutual enmity _because we are separated by a narrow channel and speak a different language . Wa would _pructicslly realise the truth tbat we are the children of the same universal
parent , ' who created of one blood all nations of men ; and we desire to entertain towards you the world-prevailing feelings of Christian love . We recur to those pages of history with sincere regret wtich chronicle the strife of our ancestors ; an -1 fervently hope that the mass of the intelligent and reflecting people of Prance unite with the vast _mnjority of the English people , in deprecating hostilities between our countries as the greatest national calamities . Wo trust that ss means of com . munication become more extensively developed , and facilities for travelling increase , the vestiges of national prejudices will vanish away ; that wa shall visit each other more frequently but to add to our mutual esteem ; and if national differences unhappily arise , tbat wa shall be wise enough , not no \ y to diseover , bus adopt a
more rational and Christian , therefore a better and _jnster method , of abltratlon , than that of the sword—one consistent with the relations of neighbours and friends , and by which justice and right , and not wight alone , may t riumph . We regard with high gratification the increase of our commercial intercourse , believing that in our mutual interest in each other , ia to be found a further guarantee of peace . We wish for , and _ehoold rejoice in your prosperity , and cannot believe it Inconsistent with our own We have hailed with satisfaction and pleasure the events of past years , which have tended to cement the friendship of our countries . - It was with . delight tbat we heard of the meetings of our _sovereigns on terms of affectionate Intercourse ; and we have
regarded with sorrow _asy occurrences which have appeared likely to mar the fair prospect of peace , or lead to strife between our _res-peetive governments . We trust the day Is not fsr distant when the fruits of peace mny be more fully enjoyed by both nations , than they can fee whilst large and costly armaments are deemed needful for mutual defence ; when the entire cerdiality existing between England asd Prance may lead to the reduction of warlike burdens on the part of each without apprehension _. Such a procedure on the part of the two _nations we believe would be a blessing to the world ; and wo are already prepared to petition our government to set the example . In conclusion , brethren of France , we agaiu tender you the expression of our hearty goodwill and regard .
Westmi.Vstbr Coirarr Court.—Tkgq 0. Palm...
Westmi _. vstbr Coirarr Court . _—Tkgq 0 . Palmkeston . —This was an action brought by the plaintiff , a coach _wheelwright , against the Right lion . Lord Palmerston , M . P ., to recover the sum of £ 17 10 s . for work and labour done for his lordship . —No answer being given to the thrice-repeated summons ef the bailiff for his lordship to appear , the case was ordered to proceed . There appeared for tho plaintiff an attorney ' s clerk , whom tbe judge refused to hear . —Glass , theoffieer of the court , said he left the summons with a man servant at his lordship's house in Carlton Gardens . The servant told him his lordship was in town , and he would give it him immediately . —The Judge to the plaintiff ; Have you bad any
communication from hia lordship since the summons ?—Plaintiff _said'he had not , and proceeded to state that he sued his lordship f or work done in making and repairing wheels for hia carriage during the years 1842 and 1843 . Had the orders direct from Ins lordship's own mouth at his residence in Carlton Gardens . It was in the early part of 1842 that his lordship gave the order fer one portion of the work . Had many times applied for payment , but never had a chance of seeing his lordship . Had written to him and sent in two or three bills , but had never had an answer . —The learned Judge , having carefully examined the entries _^ in the plaintiff 3 bosks , made an order on hii lordship to pay the debt and costs on the 16 th instant .
_ThbjJ Muhoer of Eliza Davb , Eleven Years Ago . —It will be remembered that on the 10 th of May , 1837 , a young person , named Eliza Davis , barmaid to Mr Wadley , the King ' s Arras , Laxton-place , Frederick-street , Regent's Park , was most barbarously murdered in her master ' s house , her throat having been cut with a dinner knife , which was found upon the counter immediately after the commission ofthe appalling deed . The party upon whom suspicion rested was said to be a modeller , who was in the habit of frequenting the place , and for a long while _Inspeotor _Aggs and Sergeant Pegler , of the S division , were in quest of the said person , but without ever being able to gain any tidings ef him . The murder havine
been perpetrated in broad daylight , and in a thickly-populated vicinity , the police were in no inconsiderable degree blamed for their want of vigilance in the matter . Thero is now cood reason for believing that there is at length a chance of this _littbcrto mysterious affair being _cleared up , Inspector ledman , oj the D division , being in possession of some very important particulars relativo to the case , and circumstances of a strongly suspicious nature having recently transpired , tending to lead to a conclusion that tbe sanguinary act was the work of an mdiv dual ( not the modeller above referred to ) , but another man , who , at the time of the occurrence , located in the immediate neighbourhood .
