CHARTIST TRACTS FOR THE TIMES . _Uo . THL Chartism , and the Charter , defended . By the _Kiekpale Chartist Prisokeks . London : J . Watson , 3 , Queen'shead Passage , Paternoster-row * . Is this tract ve have the continnataon and conclusion of the defence of Chartism , commenced in No . VL _L The _followiiig _extracts tmthfully narrate—and very properly defend —the course pursued by the Chartists during
IHE _ASH-C 0 B 5 "LAW AGnATIOS . The agitation originated with the _Lancashue cotton spinners , some of whom had previously joined in massacring the people who _assonbled atPeterloo for the same purpose in August , 1819 , the only difference being tliat- Henry _H--mt required _TJmversal _Suniage with a Repeal of the Corn Laws . The false statements with which the Free Traders . endeavoured to prop up their arguments , called for the opposition of the leading Chartists , and the doctrines bf Free Trade were made the subject of searching scrutiny by these able and indomitable champions of the rights of labour . The lying * sophistries bf the paid lecturers of the "Anti-Corn windsand
Law League , " were scattered to the . , on every occasion that the League hirelings ventured to hold . a public discussion they were uniformly defeated , _TVe have been termed disturbers , _obstructives , & c ., for honestly -upholding our views on these occasion _^ hut , let the real facts be Known , and it will then be seen , that the Chartists merely acted on the defensive . When the Free Traders found their arguments refuted at open alror public ¦ meetings , tLey betook themselves to the exclusive system , and under the pretence of ascertaining public opinion / contrived , by means of the ticket system , to exclude the only portion of the public who . would become " sufferers ! through the establishment of their
views , namely ; the working class . ' * They abused the power which' they gained under the Municipal Reform Act , to stifle discussion , and frequently - iritrbdnced policemen- to" coerce and overawean adverse ' _meetuig * They convened packed meetings ; issnbig tickets to their lacqueys and _ dei pendents , and afterwards published the " resolutions as the free and nntrammeled decision of the public . They employed bands of ruffians to bludgeon and maltreat their opponents ; and caused the . newspapers in their pay to falsify the decisions of public meetings . As a proof of this latter charge , we shall give one glaring example , which , " foir rinhlushing falsehood , cannot he paraueled even ; by . our
notoriously lying press . The Tree Traders of Coventry convened a meeting * of the inbabitahts . of ¦ Warwick shire , to consider the question of Free Tradel The meeting "was held at the County Hall , ' and was so _numerotis' that 'it * had to be adjourned to St . MchaeFs Chrirchyard . A string of resolutions was prepared for the occasion , but the first , which asserted the principles ' of Free Trade , was rejected by a large majority ; arid an amendment in favour of the People's Charter earned mite '" stead , amidst enthusiastic cheering , and so _VlecisKe arid determined was the opposition to the obiect of the
conveners ofthe meeting , that tbey decuned to proceed with the remaining resolutions . Now mark the subsequent conduct of these philanthropists . They forwarded the rejected resolutions to the _Jforiuiu _; _Giromcfe ; and ihey were duly published in its columns ; as "being'agreed to * at a'jneeting-of the County : of Warwick . This needs no comment . Tarties who can be guilty of such a fraud on tho public are utterly nnworthy of confidence . Yet the -respectable chairman of that meeting , whose name "Pas attached to this falsehood / has since been "mayor of the ancient citv of Coventry .
j The "write next narrates the history of '' ; ' "''' ; _'* rin ''' riiHiraifli ' _^ ; . j The _muloc _* racy , taking advantage of a turn-out I for _wagessj'endeavonred to' excite . the feelings ofthe factory operatives by declaring that the sole cause _cflowTrageswasthee- _* _dstingCtorniaws . Some of ftem closed their Brills _tauer'this ' pretence / and finis caused a large number of people to be added to the mass of "unemployed operatives , who availed ¦ _ftemselresiOf this opportriniiy of assembling-. together _. They held large meetings and _"onanimously agreed , that their only protection consisted in behig fairly represented in Parliamerit "' according to the document entitled " The People's Charter , " and juiavcrsally - re ] _ccfcd""the ~ Sree _^ £ raA . e aoetrines of

We are informed that the funds rose amazingly at Changarni- r's success in barricade

The monied classes in France will gloat , like our own , over the sacrifice of life at ihe shrine of" order , "—they are ignorant of the causes arid aims of revo'Ution , beyond their own selfish aggrandisement ; but I say , it were a gain to humanity , and better were it that the minions of tyranny were extirpated inone night —better fifty years of blood than that this infernal thing called " order" should endure much longer !

The weather ' continuing calm , they often passed the forenoon on depk , gazing : ori * the vast , expanse of ocearij arid noting with curipaity each incident that broke , the ' "monotony ofthe scene , —a corhiorarit _chasmgVa flight _^ of sea-gidhv--a shark iu pursuit of the bone ta or flying fish—a tree borne down by the river frorii its parent forest and launched on the mighty-ocean—each event was a text from which Arthur drew ; a homily , " p leasing-and instructive , or dark and chequered like his own fate , but , all , all were" tinctured with his political aspirations . ' . The cormorant was" a picture ofthe world , where the great preyed * upon the small _^ growing fat and luxurious m the exact proportion that they ground down .

ofthe law ; the poor , bonete was the victim , that j driven out of its " element , sought shelter ' in its dry atmosphere , but finding it not was again , speedily compelled to ' seek shelter beneath the waves , until chased and driven from one element to the other its weary wings , can no lonjger sustain Jt , "and it-falls into the jaws bf its stronger pursuer ..

Elkinson thought * _otheir-wise , arid offered her interest to secure him an eligible situation either in herson'sestablishment , or on some neighbouring plantation . > . Gratefully did - Arthur thank-- the : kind-hearted woman for this acceptable offer ; a yague ' _diu"i hope of future lours of happiness in Lady Baldwin's company insensibly animated him and dispelled the me-Mchbly that brooded around him ; and Julia , though she took no part in this conversation , with what ; feelings , of . delight did , she listencto it ! -she could have fallen at the feet of her' kind 'chaperone arid thanked her for thus gilding the dark cloud that
hovered over her fate : ; She had no hope for . future happiness—no dream in which her fate could mingle with that of Arthur ; but the thought that he would be an ! inhabitant of the same , island—that she , perchance , might hear ofhis welfare , might even catch a glimpse ofhis presence , was a happiness which seeiried great indeed when compared with the gloom which previously shaded her thoughts ; . and as she walked the declc that evening , leaning " , on the arm pf-her beloved , a calm arid tranquil joy pervaded her bosom , arid found-utterance iri her sweet and silyer tones—she spoke of her childhood and the home of her infancy , > . of . her , loved ; parents , arid her once adored brother ; and though she had not many . . ties to attach her to Albion ' s snores , yet she feared . that all the splendour nature had lavished on _ai tropical ' clime : would not solace her for the "recollections of
home . And Arthur , he ,. too ,: partook of this joy , and grew eloquent as he replied to the gentle ; breathings of his childhood ' s choice ., " Yes , Lady Baldwin , the green fields of bur native land , its pleasant " vales arid rural villages , will live longin ouf imagination j becoming more bright and lovely as revblvingyears increase our-absence from ! them ; and though the land of the tropics may be rich and gaykwith plaints arid flowers ,, whose dyes seem steeped in Heaven's own beauteous arch , and its atmosphere glitter with winged wanderers , whose plumage shames the sober tints of the north , and though the regal sun shed its splendours over a sky whose beauty , is unkBowri in colder climes , yet will our , hearts' cling to the past and pant to return to the land of the daisy and the
primrose , the haunt of the redbreast arid the nightingale ; Still shall we gaze ori the cold star of tho north and recall , in fancy ' s imagery , the happy English homes its beams enlighten . ; Truly does the poet say— _-., "Oh talk of spring tothe trampled flower , -Of light to the * fallen star , , _" . Of _gloiy to those who in' danger ' s hour Lie cold on the fields of war ; : But ye mock the exile ' s heart when ye tell 5 Of aught . but the home where it pines to dwell . " ; Thus did this youthful pair give vent to their feelings bf joy , —they dare not speak of each other , or trace their future lot , this would break the spell which binds them , and lay bare the rocks and shoals
of misery and guilt by which they are surrounded , so they fall back on the past , and , in union of sentiment and commingling of recollections , nourish that love which , _pute in itself , will , if madly" indulged in , bring at least on one of them the world's censure and the world ' s scorn . Harsh and unfeeling world—how many noble minds have sunk beneath thy iron _censure-r-how many gentle hearts- have rushed into eternity rather than writhe beneath thy cruel scorn . Hard'is the struggle ar id difficult the choice . Poverty and the . world ' s reprobation ;; but love , blissful love , on the one hand ; wealth and respect , but a blighted heart and an early grave on the other . Julia chose the latter ,, and the world ' s wisdom hallows her choice . Who shall dare to contend against it , let him prepare for buffets , sharp and severe , for he has an enemy to contend with who , once enraged , is hard to be appeased .
Religion may boast of its devotion arid philosophy , of its equanimity , but both , when severely tried , have bowed to the opinions and customs of the world , false and injurious though they know them to be ! How long shall man-remain a slave to this arbitrary rule ! How long shall woman wither beneath its fiery breath ! Alas ! we progress in all else ; the bands that bound the slave dissolved before ; the breath of public opinion ; the sway of the few over the many is gradually losing its potency ; even that dire monster , superstition / is fast losing its envenomedfangs ; but the most fetal of all errors ' , a false and slavish code of morals , Btill reigns in all its pristine barbarity , diffusing . its poison through every ramification of society ; every effort to loosen its hold seems only to tighten the . chain , —its martyrs are few and far between , none daring to encounter the awful fiend .: ( To It eontinutd . )

As on the 29 th of Jiiriuary arid the 26 th of March , the Government , ' on * the 13 th of June , wished to
entice Socialism into the streets , in order to crush it with bayonets . '* Socialism , did not answer ' the perfidious , appeal . By . a pacific manifestation the people evinced their sympathy for the Roman Republic ; then , dejected and sorrowful , they returned _^ to their homes ravaged by hunger and cholera . ' The _. day of battle is not yet ' come . " Socialism does not wish , to establish itself by force . "When it has _obtainedi a majority , the Revolution ; - will develop _i itself , ar id .. there , will , remain only the task of chastising the wretches who , by their sanguinary plots , " have retarded social renovation . The day is not distant ; for Socialism progresses rapidlyi Ori the 10 th of December we had only 400 , 000 * votes . At the election of the 13 th of May we mustered

- Dubi , i _* * j , Saturday . —Engush _Sympatht fob Irish DiisTBESs _.-7-Then-Rev . Matthew Scully , a Roman Catholic _clergyman :, lately in London * in a letter to the Kilkenny Journal , thus refers to the recent meeting lor the relief of Irish destitution , at which Mr . Bright , M . P ., presided- — - " Strange , indeed , it may appear , but ' yet too true-rari English M . P . is to be our chairman 'at the meeting , and English gentlemen ' . areto'hetheleading menl The whole body , with _veiy few exceptions , of our Irish members , about whose _* _-elect'on to Parliament so much fuss has been made , are not the sympathisers in L'ish misery ; - They have their own affairs to" look to ,, and their own representations to make . Tliey want Ireland for themselves , and not for the Irish .
On yesterday I was speaking with one of those , and he made to me the humiliating declaration that he had a place , and therefore dare not speak but according to his instructions . One grand proposition ! have just heard from the lips of an Irishman m this room , to : day— 'At the next elections let the Irish elect a body , of Englishmen of wealth as their representatives in Parliament , and . they have some chance of justice to Ireland . ' The people of England do really feelfor the Iri 3 h misery , and are willing to relieve it ; but one thing vexes thein , and it is this constant cry of want from those districts
to which relief has been sent . Those people expect _soirib return from money bestowed in the shape of fruits froni the earth ' . ' Hence it is that my proposition of . establishing a universal system of agricultural schools is fast gaining ground . Such establishirients , ' I have reason to believe , will be ere long founded by the government . " Destruction of a _Ciiuncn by Fire . —The Free Church in Great Charles-street , in this city ( in connexion with the Established Church ) , was destroyed by fire last night . The cause , it is believed , was some accident occuring to the gas pipes . The walls alone remain .

Sale or Landed _PaoPEBTr . —For the present it it aliriqst hopeless to look'for . bidders for property . The Earl of . CourtoUn has for a long time been der sirouai , p f concentrating his property in the county of "Wexford , where his residence is , in order to acquire more political influence in the county . He has repeatedly offered his ; admirably circumstanced county of Kilkenny estates for sale , intending with the purchase money to buy ' the Mount Norris property in Wexford , adjoining his own , but rio purchaser' will bid for his Kilkenny estates . •' , It is quite ; ri mistake to suppose that Lord Courtouriis an embarrassed peer ; he is one' of tho most independent proprietors in Ireland , and tho sole reason of his anxiety to part with the . Kilkenny property arises frorii * the cause mentioned . Neither does a bidder appear for , the . Bucluriffhani * estate ' s ; though
their titles are clear ; for who will buy land when it appears that on the 25 th of September next there ' will , be' a debt of half a" millioribf ' _mbhey'bri thirtytwo poor-law unions , which would make a rate , as Sir James Graham _' _calcul-ites , of 25 s . in the pound . It is vbry much complained of here by' various parties , ; that this simple view of the ease is 'blinked by parliament , and that such stress is laid- on the importance .. of . facilitating the sale of estates . But nothing could have been easier than the . conveyancing ; of the Courtoun estates consequent' on a ' sale ; - it" purchasers had come forward . In truth , bidders are wanted for Irish property , and where they , are to come from is not shown .

Tuesday , - J _* oxy 3 . —The _^ -Queen ' s ., Visir . r—At a meeting ofthe corporation , yesterday , the Town Clerk ' read a letter froni the Lord Lieutenant to the Lord Mayor , enclosing a communication from Sir George Grey , announcing-that her Majesty will visitMiev Irish subjects as early in August as the termination of the present session-of parliariierit will permit . Thc Home Secretary's communication stated that , in consequence of the distress prevailing in this country , her Majesty will not visit Dublin in state ; and that the ; Queen purposes to embark in the royal yacht , arid to visit the Cove of Cork | in the first instance—thence to proceed along the Irish coast to Dublin , and , ' after remaining in this city for a few days , as the Lord Lieutenant ' s
guest j to visit Belfast , and cross over from the north to Scotland . —The town-council then' proceeded "to the election of a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year , and a most stormy discussion ensued on the question whether Alderman Kinahan , or Mr . John Reynolds , M . P ., should be chosen . The debate was vehement and personal , Alderman Hudson , the leader of the Tories , making a very bitter and taunting speech against Mr . "Reynolds , mocking at thehon . members sincerity , arid imputing selfish motives to him . Mr . Reynolds was finally elected Lord Mayor , by a majority of thirty against thirteen . As tho approaching visit of her Majesty is not one of state , it is supposed that the present Lord Mayor of Dublin will not . be made - . a baronet , but that knighthood will be tendered to him .
Destitution in -Ulster . —At the meeting of the Newry board of guardians , on Saturday , communications r _; were read respecting the deplorable distress amongst the peasantry in . an isolated district of tbe county of Armagh , called Jonesborough , wliich , however , is an exception to the general condition of that and other northern counties . THe Newry Telegraph says : — " Information lias _^ reached us , on unquestionable authority , " that lbany poor people in the neighbourhood of Jonesborough arc trying to subsist on boiled nettles and a species of nuts called pig-nuts , poked from the ground , " preferring doing this to surrendering their indep 6 ndehce , '" and coming into the workhouse . How are these people to pay ; i ratein aid ? They cannot do it : neither can : those
whom Providence has blessed with the means feel pleased at the idea that money is to be wrung from them for strangers when their nei ghbours aro in such'a deplorable ' state of want . " The Sultan . —Irish Distress . —During the last year , the Sultan subscribed the . munificent sum of £ 1 , 000 to the fund raised to alleviate the misery which pervaded the southern and western' districts of this country . An address of thanks to tho Sultan was subsequently voted at a public meeting , at wliichthe Earl of Charlemont presided . Mr . O'Brien , a native of this country , and' holding an official situation at Constantinople , was selected for presenting the address to the Sultan . The following extract from a letter , dated Constantinople , June 5
, to the Earl of Charlemont , contains tho Sultan ' s answer . "The Sultan" said , that -he " was greatly flattered by the terms' in which the distinguished persons , from whom the address emanated , spoke of himself , and that he felt grateful for the kindly feeling which they professed for the Turkish people _, ne said that he was deeply grieved when he heard of the distress which had fallen upon the poor people of Ireland—that had he onl y listened to the dictates of his own heart ho would have come to their assistance in a much more effectual manner . He was sincerely happy , he said , to ; hear that the sufferings of tho Irish people were now at an end , and he hoped in God that henceforth they would be prosperous and contented . ' It was , riioreover , my duty , ' continued the sultan
, - to come to the relief of tho poor people of Ireland , for they are the subjects of lier Majesty Queen Victoria ; and the English nation , over which , I hope , her Majesty may long and happily rule , has always been the best and firmest ally of Turkey . ' His Majesty spoke with an accent of deep feeling , and with his eyes fixed upon me , as if he wished me to remark attentively what he Said , that I might afterwards repeat it to those who had entrusted me with the address .

Agriculture in CoMAUGnT .- » The vast
improvement in husbandry in the western' provinces , to which I lately culled attention , is thus described by the Bdllinasloe Star : —" Travel through whatpart of the country you may ( and we speak on the authority of a personal inspection ofa large portion of the Western Province ) , the gratifying conviction is forced : upon you , that the old system of farming is completel y exploded—you no longer witness a field half corn aud half weeds , as heretofore , but everything indicating the possession of an amount of agricultural skill which' the most sanguine , three years since , would not have * dared to hope seeing in . operation in a quarter of a century , so firmly rooted to old habits did our farming classes then seem . . For this gratifying—this most imnortant
change '—the thanks of every , ; well-wisher ofhis country is due to Lord " Clarendon , who , in originating the practical . ' instruction system , adopted the only efficient means of grappling with an evil which had no small share inbringing Ireland to the miserable position through which she is at present struggling . " ' All _this'looks well for tie future . But in sonie western districts the prospect of an abundant harvest arid the hopes of a revival of the potato , are inducing the landlords to prepare for a resumption of the old and ruinous system which" has inflicted such frightful' calamities upon the country . The following statement from the , Roscommon Messenger , is significant as to the intentions of this class of proprietors , who - ' will make desperate , efforts to keep . but of the range of the . Encumbered Estates Act ;— " The landlords , at leasti so iii . would appear from their present conduct , are beginning to dream of a return to the old state bf things . One good
harvest , they fondly imagine ; will bring back rackrents ; conacre , and tho thousand . " and one means by which * they contrived to lire at case on tho poor man | s ' labour . Rents are being enforced , ejectments are being brought , whole _^ districts are being cleared , everything is being done ,, to . enable the landlords : to ' _resume , in the coming year , their old position .

Tho drainage of this place _ij ' generally bad , and in some places notoriously imperfect , and ' some of the residents arc- -not very cleanly iri tlieir domiciles . Underneath and ' around this square runs ' a very important portion of the sewage of London , and from some of these sewers an addition to the
volatile poisons necessarily . engendered in such a place is made .. In Water-lane alone there are twenty-five gulley holes opening into . a largo sewer , about eighteen feet below the surface . These aro untrapped , and the exhalations from them , at all times , unwholesome , are at times intolerable . - 'These holes are disposed ; in threes , and in one spot there are six within five yards . Watcr-larie is about fourteen feet in width , but slightly wider at ench end , and the houses on either side are _sohigh that tho vapours which fill the place have but little chance of being dispersed by wind . The addition of heat or moisture to'the various poisonous . bases enclosed within this space would at once convert them into active gaseous poisons . In this locality ten cases of cholera and nearly as many attacks have occurred within the last few days .

The first fatal case was that of a sailor , on the 26 th , and subsequently five oth ' _erdeaths , including . ' a soldier . When the ship anchored tliere were eight cases , six of whom were declared by the medical officers on board to be
convalescent . The six _alluded . to above are continuing to improve , but the other two aro still dangerous . Every possible precaution is adopted on board to check the spread of this riialady , and the medical officers' iri charge hope the worst is over . The collector ofthe Customs has forbidden communication with the ship , except by . _persorishaving ofticial business .

Moniteur . no longer publishes its bulletins so regularly , but we can state that on the 27 th and 28 th the deaths remain as low ' as on' the two preceding days , The reduction is relatively greater ,: in civil hospitals than * in the town .. In the course of Wednesday ' arid . Thursday * : the , new" cases admitted were , only 22 , and the deaths 16 , while the number discharged cured was 112 . The hospices in the total of admissions bear but " an insignificant proportion . At ' the "Salpetriere the new . caises during the two days were only two , announcing a total extinction ofthe disease in that establishment . The state of the military hospitals is even ' more favourable . At the Val-de-Grace there were ' orily nine attacks and four . deaths ; . at the Roule , * three cases . and no death at all ; at the pros , Caiilbu there ' was nohew case , no death , and eighteen cures . All these facts united lead to a hope that tho total disapperarice ofthe epidemy is fast approaching . _—Qalignani's Messenger . *
