At present , in order to guard awaiW + l _„ _posable outbreaks of _passio _?* £ _^ Met _another , _Eni-opemaintains at least 2 , 000 000 % htmg men . . . Two _w _^ ab _le-bodSd ADLlt _3 _urES are drawn from industrial pursuits , and made a heavy burden upon those labour . Fortifications , and _barracks hnsfle everywhere with cannons and bayonets pd ships of war , armed t o the teeth , swarm in _allseas . With what an insane _Ld _» Terted mgenuity mankind labour to make
themselves miserable I In this country , out of a net expenditure of fifty-four millions , we are paying not less than Forty Mmioxs every year , as the cost of past , and the provision against future wars ! But is it such a provision ? _TTe confess that , looking to the interest of the fi ghting men to keep the ball rolling , and the game in their own hands , it seems rather a provocative . It is like laying a train of gunpowder , and sitting down to play beside it "with lucifer matches .
Of course it it is easy to prove ingenious objections to this as to every other suggestion of enlightened international policy . The great stumbling-block in this case is that it would be impossible to constitute a Supreme Court , to enforce the award of the international arbitrators . This seems to us mere moonshine . After aU , among nations as among individuals , it is public opinion which rules in the long run . If clauses binding the respective nations to arbitration were inserted in all treaties , and in ihe ease ofa desperate one ofthe contendin _g parties refusing to submit to the award ofthe arb _£ trators , it would stand convicted of a breach of
public faith . It would come even into the field of battle tinder a disadvantage at starting—and other nations warned by its violation of its solemn engage ments , would , in self-defence , cease to have any dealings with it It would be outlawed from the com-Snionship of nations , or as we say in -vulgar paracc , " sent to Coventry . " The proposers of this grcathnprovementin our dealings with other powers , took great pains to place themselves right upon one point . They repudiated the extreme doctrine that under no case or circumstances whatever Is war justifiable . They recognised the ri ght of oppressed nations to rise against their rulers—of countries groaning under the tyranny of foreign usurpation to
appeal to arms for their emancipation from the loathsome degradation . Bnt these are not international cases and the adoption of the arbitration principle would , even in them , have a reactive influence of a highly beneficial character . Ministers made pacific , and , all things considered , not bad speeches upon the subject . They approved so far ofthe principle involved in Hi * . _Cobhex ' s motion as to refrain from meeting it with a direct negative , and contented themselves with the moving the previous question , thereby indicating- the * time may come , even in the opinion of official men , when the practical adoption of the principle may be expedient .
In the midst of general commotion , and a state of tilings not dissimilar to that which at the close of last century forced this country into a long war , and the expenditure of six hundred millions sterling , itis gratifying to find a movement of this kind a-foot out of doors—and gratifying to find that it has so many supporters in Parliament . Its moral effect on Ministers , and the increased chances of our thereby keeping the peace , are of the most valuable description . With Palmerstox in power , who knows where we should be , but for such influences ?
A host of small bills hare been forwarded a stage , amongst which is Mr . Moffatt ' s bill for excluding Insolvent and Bankrupt Members from Parliament . Whatever may be the technical form of the bill , that is its intent , and we quite agree with Sir W . Clat , who moved the rejection of the measure , that hi this country we worship Mammon earnestly enough already , without setting up the breeches pocket as the beau ideal of Parliamentary
_ntness . _Xo doubt every man should pay his debts , but it is too bad that a man who cannot do so , should be declared as unfit for the discharge ofthe duties of a . representative , and , in fact , have amoral stigma thrown upon his character because of a pecuniary defect . It is , however , not at all improbable that the bill will be defeated in Committee . The majority for the second reading was a small one , In a thin House .

THE CRISIS ' Brother PRoiETARiAifs , Once more our brothers in Paris _aresWW for iheri g ] lts of mankind . In _"ftatcityof W patriots blood has again flowed-the blood ofthe people . The traitors and _^ _sassms , Buonaparte , Odillon _Baudot , _-Paxxotix , _Thxeks , Mole , Cha _^ ga _^ _tek , _& C , have flu-own off the mask , unsheathed the sword , placed Paris in a state of siege , ar rested the faithful _[ Representatives of the le
peop , and hoisted the BLACK FLAG of _Imperial-Bourgeois TERROR ! Ere this number ofthe " Northern Star" issues from the i ; ress , the question at issue will , in all probability , have heen decided . Either we shall have to mourn the destruction of our gallant brethren , and the prostration of their holy cause or we shall be able to rejoice over the downfall of the abovenamed traitors and assassins , "whose unpunished crimes have too long dishonoured France , and , -wearied the patience of Humanity .
The fratricidal invasion of Ital y has provoked the present struggle . Under lying and hypocritical pretences the _ilimsters induced the Constituent Assembl y to sanction an expedition to Italy , for the purpose—as was then represented—of upholding the influence of France _^ by preventing Austrian domination in the Roman States . At Civita Vecchia the French troops were received as friends , and under that guise they marched to -Rome , which they attempted to occupy as enemies ! Repulsed by the Romans , driven back with loss and disgrace , the French Commander , Oudinot , waited the arrival of
reinforcements before making a second attack . In the meantime , the French Government tried to effect by fraud that which they had failed to accomplish by force ; but their di plomacy , like then- fighting , resulted in failure . The glorious _ilAZzm , and his glorious compatriots , showed that they were neither to be cajolednor fri ghtened . The attack on Rome was therefore renewed , and from the 3 rd inst . to . the date of the latest accounts , fighting had been going on . _Ton-ents of blood have flowed . Every step the French have taken has been disputed inch by inch . The Romans exhibit a valour worth y of their ancient renown ; and , if ultimatel y the French are the victors , they will have to erect their standard on mountains of the slain . Such has been , and is , the fiendish work of that enemy of the human race , President Buonaparte !
Against this impious war , this war of brother against brother—for French and Roman Republicans should shed their blood only when fighting on the same side , and for a common cause—against this unholy contest , waged for the profit of priests and kings , the generous people of Paris have protested , and are now protesting—it may be at the cost of their lives . Their demonstration on the 13 th , was the manifestation of a pacific and unarmed , but -rirtuously resolved people . In that manifestation from fifteen to twenty thousand _National Guards took part . The people were assaulted , dispersed , and some wounded , and it is said even killed .
"Wednesday , the 13 th , was in many respects a repetition of the 22 nd of February . Will this day have been a repetition of the 23 rd ? Will to-morrow repeat the popular triumph of the 24 th of February ? or are our brethren doomed to be crushed anew , as they were in those fatal days of June , when Louis Pmliite vanquished the Republicans with grape-shot , or , as in those still more terrible days of-June , 1848 , when thc Proletarians were mowed down by the ruthless soldiers ofthe bourgeoisie ? Theso are , indeed , anxious moments . Woe to the human race if our brothers are vanquished ! The fifth article of the Constitution sets forth
that " The Frencli Republic respects foreign nationalities , as it will make its own respected , will undertake no war "with a view to conquest , or ever employ its forces against the liberty of any people . " The attack upon ' Rome is an outrage on a foreign nationality . The war against Rome is a war to conquer the Roman Republic and subvert the liberty of the Roman people . _BuoxAPAniE and his Ministers have violated Art . ¦ 5 of the Constitution . The fifty-fourth article declares that the President " cannot undertake any war without the consent ef the _National Assembly . " The war against Rome -was undertaken without the consent of the Assembly ; and , indeed , indefiance of thc expressed will to the contrary of the Constituent Assembly .
President Ruo-VAr-AME and his Ministers have violated Art . 54 of the Constitution . Under these circumstances it was the duty of the Legislative Assembly to impeach the Government . The members of the Mountain , faithful to tlieir mission , prepared an act of impeachment , directed against the traitorous President , and his traitorous Alinistcrs . But , on the 11 th of June , the majority ofthe Assembly , by passing to the order ofthe day , on the interpellations of _Leoru Rollin , declared their adherence to the treasonable policy of the President and his Ministers . On the 12 th , they rejected thc decree of impeachment presented by the minority . The members of thc Legislative Assembly , forming the majority , have proclaimed themselves accomplices in the treason of the _Pkesideni and his Cabinet .
Thus situated , thc faithful minority appealed to the people , the _National Guard , and the army , reminding those they appealed to , that Art . 110 ofthe Constitution , places it under the guardianship of all Frenchmen . The minority have deserved well of their country ; more , tliey have deserved well of the Human Race . As already stated , the pcopte of Paris responded by a pacific demonstration ; which was answered by brute force on the part of the Government . At the same time _Uuox aparte and his fellow traitors , presented to the Assembly the project of a decree for declaring Paris , and all the surrounding territory , in a state of siege ; and authorising the establishment of the same military despotism wherever the people mav , like those of Paris , manifest their attachment to the Constitution . Thc " project" was received with loud applause , and , undoubtedly , was adopted in the course of the sitting .
The latest accounts I have before me , state that thc Government had arrested two leading members ofthe Mountain—Felix _Ptat and Theodore Bac . There is a rumour in town that Coxsiderant , Etiex . ve Arago , and Ledru Rollin , have also been arrested . The conspirators have also arrested that patriotic citizen Colonel Guinard , chief of the Artillery ofthe Rational Guard . Chaxgarnier has seized the cannon ofthat body . The artillerymen of thc Rational Guard are staunch Republicans , and therefore not to be trusted by Buoxapakte and his traitor confederates .
A ROYALIST REIGN OF TERROR having commenced , tho people of Paris will clearly be justified should they appeal to force in defence of the Republic . Rever was insurrection more justifiable—more imperative . Buonaparte and his advisers have ranged themselves on the side of the crowned conspirators of Europe . Should they succeed , the Revolution of February will have been in vain ; the counter-revolution will be accomplished . Republicanism throughout Europe will be smothered in the blood of its defenders . The parson's paper—the beastly " Church and King" " Standard "—of this evening , says : — " We heartily hope that the orig inators and leaders ot this revolutionary , movement will receive the full punishment their iniquitous designs demand ; for , in a case like this , to be merciful is to be unjust . The ruffian means to say , that he hopes that _BuonawilT de
parte and his _comrogues , if successful , - vote the Republicans to pitiless slaughter . 1 respond to the " Standard" by expressing my prayer tnatredvengeancemayovertakethetraitorswhohave driven the people ofParisto revolt I earnestly pray that Buonaparte , Odillox Barrot , Falloux , Changaunter , Thiers , Mole , and their infamous confederates , may receive "the full punishment their iniquitous designs demand . " I agree with the " Standard" that , "inacaselikc this , to be merciful is to be unjust . " Had the victors of February flung " mercy , " magnanimity , " and Lamartine to the devil , and , instead of doing as they did , allowed justice to " take its course , ' the Republic wonld not now be in peril ; the people would not now be driven to the alternative of submitting to hopeless slavery , or again pouring out their blood in defence of their new-born liberties . "Moderation ! " " moderation ! " thou hast been the curse and
ruin of the patriots of all lands . _ _,-,, To-Morrow ! Brother Proletarians , To-Morrow ! My heart beats with anxious hope and dread of what the future of a few hours will reveal . But , come what mav , my prayer is—victory to the French Republicans , P _^ _^ _^ - _^^^^ June 14 th , 1849 .

THE FRATERNAL DEMOCRATS ( Assembling in London ) TO THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE . Frenchmen , Brothers , — The vote of the Legislative Assembly on the 11 th of June , by which the majority of that body declared their adherence to the treasonable policy of the President of your Republic , has filled us with profound grief , and excited our most anxious apprehensions for the stability of your democratic institutions , and the cause of Liberty throughout Europe .
The attack upon Rome , by your troops , is beyond all question the most disgraceful act in the history of your country . General Oudinot , and the renegade Odillon Barrot , may pretend that the "honour" of France demands the slaughter of the Republicans of Rome , but no sophistry can blind the human race to the fact , that the attempt of French Republican soldiers to drown the
Roman Republic in the blood of its heroic defenders , is an atrocit y so infamous that France will be for ever dishonoured in the eyes of mankind , unless you at once reverse the policy of your traitorous President , and punish him and his guilty confederates , for their violation of the Constitution—their betrayal of the interests of France—and their horrible conspiracy against the liberties and happiness of all nations .
Astonished and grieved at the choice you made on the 10 th of December last , we have not been at all astonished at the subsequent conduct of the bastard Buonaparte , the would-be Louis XIX . AVhen in this country , we knew him to be the confederate ofthe most disreputable section of our selfish , heartless , Franceand-Freedom hating aristocracy . We saw him on the 10 th of April , 1848 , whilst yet
skulking on these shores , enrol himself in the ranks of our hated oligarchy—banded in an unholy alliance to keep the people of this country in serfdom aud misery . Since his elevation to the Presidency of the Republic , he has acted as the " Special Constable " of Europe . Here he made himself the tool of our usurping aristocrats ; at the head of the French Republic he has made himself the tool of the crowned assassins of Europe .
Behold the results ofthe fatal vote ofthe 10 th of December : Piedmont abandoned , and Lombardy lost ; Sicily betrayed and crushed ; Venice deserted and left to a hopeless struggle against the overwhelming force of Austria ; the bombardment of Bologna and Ancona by the Austrians , and the invasion ofthe Roman States b y Neapolitan cut-throats , and Spanish brigands , connived at by your government ; lastly ,
thc twice-renewed attack upon Rome , in which torrents of blood have flowed—the blood of thise who should be brethren , of those who should shed their blood only when fighting on the same side , and for a common cause . O wrong O shame ! O infamy eternal to France ! if you , Frenchmen , do notciush the traitors , and hasten to staunch the blood of Republican Rome .
It is true the policy of Prince , President , Louis XIX . has gained something ; has gained for France the applause ofthe English Government , the approving smiles ofthe English aristocracy ; it has gained , too , the recognition of the Republic by Russia . But you have not yet paid the full price you will have to pay for the approbation ot ' the English aristocracy , and the good will of the . Muscovite miscreant . Permit your President and his infamous ministers to continue their present course , and you will be condemned to witness Hungary Polandised , without you being permitted
even to remonstrate : and , worse still , you will be called upon to repeat the dismal Roman tragedy , by sending your soldiers to the Rhine —not to resuscitate the past greatness of France—but to assist the royal butchers of Prussia , Saxony , Hanover , and Bavaria in perpetrating a St . Bartholomew of the Republicans of Germany . In conclusion , for all these services , you may expect that your trai torous President will have the help of English intrigue , and Russian force , to establish his bastard ambition upon the ruins of your Republic .
Now is the time to save yourselves , your country , and mankind . Buonaparte and his ministers have violated thc Constitution , and the members ofthe Right ofthe Assembly have made themselves parties to that violation . But the Constitution is above majorities , and if the majority betray their trust , it is for the minority to take the place of the majority , and it is for you to support that minority—the onl y true representatives of the people , and defenders ofthe Commonwealth . If the National Guards of . Paris will do their duty , Justice and the Constitution will triumph Avithout a sword being drawn ; but should blood again How , on the heads of the traitor Buonaparte aud his traitorous ministers will rest
the responsibility . God save France and Italy ! Long live the French and Roman Republics ! Hurrah for the Fraternity of Nations 2 Honour to Ledru Rollin I Honour to the Mountain !

Obituary Notice Of The Late Joiix Fielde...
OBITUARY NOTICE OF THE LATE _JOIIX FIELDEN , ESQ . A funer . il sermon was preached in the Unitarian Chapel " of this place , by thc Rev . Mr . Jones , of Liverpool , in memory of thc late John Fielden , Esq ., on Sunday last . The scene , as described by an eye-witness to the -writer , was imposing . Upwards of 500 of the working classes , chiefly operatives employed at the factories . of thc Messrs . Fieldens , marched to the chapel in procession , —the chapel was crowded , and as the eloquent preacher spoke on the character of their late neighbour and employer there were but few eyes undimmod with tears . If to lose a friend is a subject of regret , and most of ns have felt it , to know that the virtues of the dead are not forgotten , must ever be a pleasing
reflection . The late John Fielden was , what is popularly called , "the architect of his own fortune . " Like some others , whose names I could mention , and among them , Jacob Bright ,-of Rochdale , father of John Bright , M . r . for Manchester , he was connected with the cotton trade , previous to thc general introduction of improved machinery , so extensively used at this time . Industrious , frugal , and thoughtful , he , in the course of years , rose to influence and the possession of riches . He , however , had thc merit of remaining true to the interests ofhis own order . When honoured with a seat in the Senate , being , with the late AVilliam Cobbett , representative in parliament for the radical borough of Oldham , he oftencr than once assured our aristocratic
commoners that he had been himself a factory operative , and knew the cruelties and horrors ofthe long hour system from experience . Such a declaration was worth a volume of drawing-room sentimentalities , and at once spoke the stock and breeding of the man Mr . Fielden was for years the sincere and warm-hearted advocateofshort hours , and contributed not a little by his writings , as well as _snooches in Parliament , to ensure the success of the Ien Hours Bill . Mr . Fieloen ' s Corse op the _J- actoev System-is a truthful exposure of the iniquities and barbarisms of Eng land ' s manufacturing system , when laissezfaire was the order of the day , and tho _nn-i-Pinilation economists had full scope , and a
fearful " chamber of horrors " it unfolds . Mr . r lewen s opposition to the long hour practice was not based on humanity alone . He was a practical man , and in " Fielden _' s Letter to Fitten" the secret of our manufacturing ruin and excesses are put down in Sain arithmetic . Mr . Fielden argued properly , that we suffered more from home than foreign competition , and that we suffered from producing too Eh rather than too little . In the absence of Lord Ashley from Parliament Mr . Fielden was looked upon as the Parliamentary leader of thc short time Darfcy , and under his guidance the _mea-SrTbeS law The evasion , or rather _suppressbn , of the Ten Hours Bill by needy and covetous manufacturers , supported by interested magistrates ,

was to him a constant subject of regret , and caused him much mental excitement . A gentleman who accompanied him to the Home Office on a rocent occasion , along with Messrs . "Walker and Rand , of Bradford , being a deputation to wait on Sir George Grey about the " relay system , " assured me that it was refreshing to hear the plain old man assure the Ministerial Baronet that it was his ( Sh- G . Grey ' s ) duty to see that the law made by Parliament should be executed . Mr . Fielden , too , was the unflinching opponent of the Malthusian Sew Poor Law . Born and living among the people , he knew that thev were neither idle nor improvident , knowing as he " did that tlieir industry was the source of fortunes enjoyed by himself and hundreds of others . As im emnlover he
was upright and honourable , and had but little to fear from strikes , turn-outs , or riots . His life was an illustration ofa truth often overlooked , to witthat good men are as necessary for the peace and happiness of mankind as good measures . The common motto is , " measures not men ; " the wiser motto would be , " wise measures and good men . " The late Mr . Fielden breathed his last at Skeynes , in Kent , on May 29 th , and his remains were interred m the burying ground of the Unitarian Chapel of Todmorden , on the 4 th of June . Mr . Fielden was an extraordinary man , possessing much vigour and decision of character , and his mind , if not eminently great , was at least such as rendered his life eminently useful . _. Samuel Kydd . Todmorden , June 12 th , 1849 .
Honour To T. S. Duncombe, M.P. For Finsb...
HONOUR TO T . S . DUNCOMBE , M . P . FOR FINSBURY . On Monday evening , a supper got up by the Finsbury locality of Chartists , was held at the Clerkenwell Lecture Rooms , 34 , Clerkonwell-grecn , ( late Lunt ' s Coffee and Assembly Rooms ) , to congratulate the hon . gentleman on his partial restoration to health , and the-resumption of his Parliamentary duties . A substantial supper was served up by the worthy host , ( Mr . Humphries of the United Trades , ) to which a goodly number sat down , amongst whom we noticed several of the leading members of the Trades bodies . The tables being cleared ,
Mr . M . P . Lee , an elector of the borough , -was called to the chair , and said : They had met to night te congratulate themselves on the restoration to health of their champion and representative , Thomas Slingsby Duncombe . ( Loud cheers . ) He , as an elector , had painfully regretted that indisposition should at such a time have deprived them of the services of both their very honourable and exceedingly useful members . ( Hear , hear . ) One of them was now at least partially restored to health and had again appeared in parliament , at which the " sovereign people , " which he now gave as the
hrst sentiment , was most heartily rejoiced . ( Loud cheers . ) The next sentiment he had ' the honour to submit , was "health aud happiness to Thomas Slingsby Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., the indomitable and uncompromising advocate and champion ¦ of the rights of the people . " ( Rapturous cheering . ) Mr . Duncombe , had appeared as a Reformer prior to the passing of thc Reform Bill , and had steadily adhered to Liberal principles , progressing in his love and advocacy ot liberty down to the present period , and it was no joke to stand up amongst men who had been denominated " a band of robbers . "
The " House" was bad enough in the rampant days of Toryism true the rotten _boroughs had boon swept away , but looking at its acts , lie could not help thinking that the nouse was as corrupt as ever . Itwas only for the people to rally round such men as Mr . Duncombe , and my Lord John would be soon crouching at their feet . Mr . Duncombes consistency , perseverance , and talent , were tbe theme of all , and their representatives were worthy of all praise . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Mr . Peel , of the United Trades , said he cordially joined with them in their admiration of thoir indefatigable representative . Mr . Duncombe ' s illness had indeed been regarded as a national calamity ; for Mr . Duncombe had not alone heen tho representative of Finsbury , but had represented the wants and wishes of tho industrial portion of the whole nation . ( Loud cheers . ) He believed , had
Mr . Buncombe been in the House during the Inst twelve months , _demosracy would have oeen in a better position , and that the " Hume party" would have moved on a little further in thc right direction , ( Cheers . ) Nothing gave him more pleasure than to cordinllv rcspondto thc sentiment placed in his hand . ( Loudcheers . ) Mr . Green read and moved an address to Mr . Duncombe , congratulating him on his restoration to health , and pledging the meeting to continued confidence in , and attachment to , the hon . member . [ The reading was greeted witli much applause . ] Mr . Green ' then said , he believed that Mr . Duncombo ' s indisposition was , in a great measure , caused by his assiduous attention to what thc hon . member deemed his duty to thc people ; and surely we could not be too grateful for such services . Mr . Duncombe had visited the hulks with a view to the
amelioration of tho condition of the poor miserable creatures therein 'confined , and in so doing had caught a severe cold , which led to his protracted illness . The hon . member ' s indisposition had thrown , as it were , a cloud over our political and social movements ; but he hoped to see that cloud dispelled , and that thc radiant beams of light and life would again burst forth , illumining the way to liberty and happiness . ( Loud cheers . ) Knowing the great exertions Mr . Duncombe had made , it was their duty to adopt the address now submitted . Mr . Duncombe had proclaimed aloud the groat principles of political equality , and the social truth , "that every man had a right to live in the sweat of liis own brow , " and had manfully resisted oppression of every kind . lie had much pleasure in moving tho adoption of tho address . ( Applause . ) Mr . Wm . Alljjutt seconded the adoption of the address , which was carried amidst the most hearty acclamations of the audience .
The Chairman next gave , amidst loud cheers , " Health and happiness to Feargus O'Connor , M . l \ , success to Chartism , and prosperity to the National Land Company . " Mr . Nobus responded . The Chairman gave thc next sentiment— " The National Association of United Trades—may its numbers and its powers for good increase for the defence of Industry , and the overthrow of injustice and tyranny in all their forms . " Mr . Robso _"* * responded .
The Chairman said the next sentiment was" The four persecuted razor grinders ; of Sheffieldmay their release from prison be speedy , and thc rights and privileges of trades unions be maintained inviolate . " Mr . Lancaster , delegate from Sheffield , replied . The next sentiment was responded te by Mr . Stallwood : — "Success to the democrats of Hungary , Italy , and the whole world . " ( Cheers . ) . _Mt > . Holmes , of the Ladies' Shoemakers , gave" A speedy release to nil political prisoners , in this and other countries . " ( Cheers . )
A deputation having been appointed to present the address to Mr . Duncombe , and thc usual thanks having been given to the Chairman , the remainder ofthe evening was spent in social harmony .

TIIE MINERS OF THE NORTH . A delegate meeting of tbe Miners of Northumberland and _^ Durham took place on Saturday last , at the Ceck Inn , head of tho Side , Newcastle , when a numerous accession of delegates were present from thc Wear and Tees Collieries . The money contributions having been paid in , it was resolved , "To engage three more lecturers , there being so many collieries desirous of their services . " The next business was , to appoint thc route ofthe different agents , wliich resulted in appointing C . Hardy , to the Tyne , * and the old veteran—Embleton , with Wilson ; A . Stove , <& c , tothe Wear and Tees . It was also agreed , by a _lai-ge majority , " That no exchange of lecturers take place at present . " The delegates then resolved , " That in consequence of some of the Trimdon men now on strike , applying to collieries in union for support , and thus preventing the money coming to the general board , that thc practice be discontinued , and that all collieries in union forward their . contributions for the
unemployed to the general board , that the same may be fairly applhd . The delegate from Brancepoth announced , that a clause in the new bond provided that any miner seen in the company of union men , or having joined the same , should forfeit all wages earned . The chairman then announced , that when at the meeting of the AVall's-End men , they unanimously resolved , "That a vote of thanks be given to the Editor , of the Noithern Star , for giving publicity to their proceedings ; and that we r « commend our
brother miners to support that paper , in preference to those journals which decline noticing cither them or their proceedings . " The unfortunate calamity at _Hebburn was then duly eongidoved , and a resolution agreed to , " That a letter be forwarded to Lord Brougham , to bring tlie same before the Ilouse of Lords . ' It was then resolved , "That the next delegate meeting be held at Durham , at the Greyhound Inn , Claypath . Chair to be taken at ten o' clock a . m . " M . Jude , Chairman .

National Association Op " United Trades....
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OP " UNITED TRADES . The Central Committee of the above Association having returned to town from attending the late Conference , have since been activel y engaged in _carryiag out the instructions ofthe delegates . Arrangements have been made for the commencement of ail active agitation . The two districts in which it is proposed to commence operatious are Manchester and the cotton districts of Lancashire generally , and tho populous towns in ' thc north ,
commencing with Newcastle , Sunderland , North and South Shields , & c , where the objects and principles of this Association are as yet but imperfectl y understood or appreciated . Thc busy hives of industry , scattered so thickly throughout Yorkshire and Derbyshire , will also , in turn , be visited , and the question of National Union and Protection to British Industry , versus the F / ee Traders ' present darling . system of isolated dependence . and individualised competition , be fairly tested .
The working classes will once move be called on to decide whether they are satisfied with their present slavish dependence upon the freaks aud caprices of capital , or whether the experience of the last two years has yet failed to awaken them to a sense of their true
position . Messrs . RonsoN and Peel , who had been appointed a deputation to wait on the Conference ofthe Engineers , Mechanics , and Steamengine Makers , in Manchester , reported the results of their mission , to thc effect that they had been received by the numerous delegates there assembled in the most cordial manner ; and that during an interview of more than two
hours' duration , they had been listened to with the most profound attention that thoy had represented to that important meeting the pa ramount necessit y for national union , as the only available means of conserving the rights and freedom of British industry , and calicd upon them to co-operate with tho National Association in effecting so desirable a consummation .
The questions of Home and Foreign Colonisation were incidentally discussed , with reference to the propriety of the working classes investing their funds in either or both these schemes . Foreign Colonisation or Emigration found but few supporters , but the importance and benefits of Home Colonisation were generally admitted , and it was explained that the National Association was by no means opposed to such a scheme , but that it was , in fact ,
enumerated amongst its objects . After a most interesting discussion , uniformly _favourable to the National Movement , thc following resolution , proposed by Mr . "W . Newton , of London , and seconded by Mr . _Moiusotf , of Swindon , was unanimously adopted : — " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the National _Association of United Trades is calculated to confer great advantages upon the industrious classes generally , "We , therefore , p ledge ourselves individually to promote its objects to tho utmost of our abilities . "
A vote of thanks was then passed to the deputation , and thus has one of the most important and influential Trades in tho British dominions peonounced , through their Delegates , in favour of this great and imperativel y necessary movement . The correspondence received during tho last few days breathes a uniform spirit of returning confidence , which is fully borne out by the gradual increase in the income , which for thc
past week has exceeded £ 50 . Several applications have been made for information b y parties desirous of joining , among whom we may enumerate the carpet weavers in and around Durham , and a numerous bod y of miners in the same district . App lications have also been received from the United Body of Journeymen Shoemakers of Carlisle , who express themselves now prepared to carry out the resolution passed by them in March last , of joining thc National Association .
We trust we shall bo able , from time to time , through the kindness of the proprietor and editors of the "Northern Star , " to give equally favourable reports of progress . Manchester and Birmingham we know were never in a position so favourable for the consideration and reception of our principles , and from letters fromthe neig hbourhood of Halifax , _Ripponden , & c ,, we learn that the proceedings ofthe
ate Conferencehaveg iven unmixed satisfacetion , aud inspired them with renewed hope . The Central Committee , on thoir part , are determined to spare no efforts to improve these highly encouraging symptoms , and , by assiduous attention to the duties of their important mission , to prove themselves worthy of the high privilege of conducting this the most important experiment in thc history of labour , to a successful and glorious termination .
The Persecuted Razor Grinders Of Sheffie...
THE PERSECUTED RAZOR GRINDERS OF SHEFFIELD . A numerous public meeting of thc Trades of London was held at tho National Hall , High Holborn , on "Wednesday evening , to consider thc case of Mv . John Drury and his compatriots , who were prosecuted by tlie Manufacturers Protection Society of Sheffield . Mr . A . Campbell having boon called to the chair , stated the objects for wliich the meeting had assembled , and called upon Mr . Mark Lancaster , one ofa deputation from Sheffield , to address the meeting . Mr . Lancaster said , that for thc last two years great depression of trade Jiad prevailed . The twenty-five organised trades in Sheffield , when in full employ could boast of possessing to the amount of £ 20 , 000 , but from the depression such was not
now the ease , aud henoo , as tlio expenses wore very heavy they wore obliged to apply to their _fricmls at a distance . Mr . Lancaster read a letter from Sheffield , showing tho awful depression that prevailed , and trusted that would be sufficient apology for their appeal to thc men of London . The orgaised Trades of Sheffield had upheld their rights , and thc masters were using their utmost exertions to put down and destroy tlie just influence of working men . The brothers Eastcotfc had been tried some eighteen or twenty months ago , and found guilty of destroying tools and other property of their fellowworkmen , called _Brai _' snaw , and sentenced to seven years' transportation . These men were not defended by the Trades simply because the Trades believed them guilty , and while in York Castle , in order to save themselves from their fate , they incriminated Messrs . Drury , 13 ullos , and others , in an alleged act of counselling destruction of property , & c . This was done throuiih a magistrate named Overend ,
who had declared he would convict in any case against Trades Unionists . Mr . Lancaster quoted the evidence given by Alex . Eastcott , showing its glaring inconsistency , yet upon such evidence as this was John Drury convicted . Thc Eastcotts were the men who had actually committed the deed , and one of them admitted that he had been a principal in no less than seventy similar cases of destruction . ( Hear , hear . ) Such was the nature of the evidence that tlieir solicitor _thoughtnoi' _.- ' _J-H ng evidence necessary , but that an acquittal was certain . The jury , however , brought in a verdict of " Guilty , " and the judge over stepped tho bounds of law , by making the sentence ten year ' s transportation ; they had sent to Sir George Grey , who kept tho papers six weeks , and said he commuted the punishment to seven years instead of ten —( laug hter)—but they immediately wrote to Sir George Grey , stating that they had not asked and did not seek for commutation .
Mr . Roberts , another delegate , said , so much were the men respected that some persons had offered themselves as bail to the amount of £ 700 and £ 800 , provided they put in the plea they did ; and from the manner this meeting had received his _exnlanation he was sure they were satisfied with the course pursued . The Eastcotts were at liberty and had returned , and were now wallowing amidst all thc luxuries of a public-house . The committee had evidence to prove the innocence of Drury and his companions . He challenged the Sheffield
manufacturers to contest tbe matter , and he would undertake to prove that employers set their men to break the machinery , with a view to suppress Trade Unions . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Edwards moved , and Mr . Wood seconded , and Mr . Tooney supported , the following resolution : —• "That it is the opinion of this meeting that while the preponderating power and influence of capital is exercised against the poverty , division , and consequent weakness , of the working classes , injustice , tyranny , and abuse will continue . The case of the Razor-Grinders , ( Messrs . Drury , Marsden , Bullos ,
The Persecuted Razor Grinders Of Sheffie...
and Hall , ) now under consideration , is , therefore , the case of every mechanic , operative , and labourer in the country , the more so as no one can fuel his liberty secure , when ( as in this case ) the villany of the felon is associated with a combination of wealth and station . " Mr . Thomas Clark , ofthe Executive , moved the following resolution - . — " That the protracted sufferings of the prisoners in question , thc object sought by the prosecution—namelv , the suppression Ol lrades Unions , and the _aviditv evinced to deprive them of future liberty , entitle them to the deep sympathies of the Trades of the kingdom , and that , m consideration of the inability of the poor man to purchase English law individually , it is resolved ,, that the London Trades be requested by this meeting to render all the pecuniary assistance in their power , and forward the same to the Defence Committee , Bell Inn , Old Bailcv , without delay . "
Thcresolutionhaving been seconded and supported , was carried . Thanks having been voted to the proprietor of the _Northern Star , and to -the chairman , the meeting separated .
Tiie Kirkdale Chartist Prisoners. "He Wh...
TIIE KIRKDALE CHARTIST PRISONERS . "He who permits oppression shares the crime . " to the " editor of the northern star . Sir , —I beg to solicit publication of the undermentioned extract of a letter which I have received from Mr . George White , and to offer a few comments upon the past and present condition of our friends "White , Leach , "West , and Donovan ;—"Dear Norman , —I received your letter this morning . * * Those things which appear trifling to you , who are living- in the busy world , arc valuable to us . You should see a few _tlowcra and plants which we have growing in some tubs in the yard ; there is Hot " a trifling bud , or germination of seed , that is not duly watched and recorded . * * * . Since 1 last wrote you I have been
confined m a solitary cell for twenty-four hours for the high crime of smoking tobacco , and for that space of time I tasted no food . According to the felon rules of this place , any person sent to a solitary cell by the governor ' s dictum , is allowed one pound of black bread and some water for his daily sustenance ; this rule has been carried out with mo ; and , by way of relish , thc man who , serves out the black bread brought the water boiling hot . I could not eat the bread , and informed the governor of it ; but , although I could drink water , that luxury was denied mc by bringing it hot instead of cold . The petty annoyances to wliich we are subjected will form subjects for future comment ; every privilege attached to our position seems to be viewed with
the most vindictive asperity . * * One thiug I am perfectly satisfied of , that is , if I were a wealthy man these annoyances would not be attempted , but though poor in purse , I am nevertheless a man . * * Even in a gaol the distinctions of caste are clearly perceptible . In Warwick Gaol and the Quoon ' s Bench Prison my purse was better lined than it is now , and I was treated accordingly . If it wore so here , no doubt tho treatment -would be similar to what I then experienced . " Sir , in addition to thc above , let me observe that our friends were subjected to the annoyance of being classed and placed upon their trials with mob enthusiasts , whom the government , for reasons best known to thc Attorney-General , choose to denominate " Chartists , " but who , in realitv , kno \ i
nothing ot Chartism or any other ism , inasmuch as many of them can neither read' nor write . They liave been likewise placed upon tho same relief list , ( with their wives and families , by the Manchester and London Committees , ) " with men who have not an idea beyond their daily porridge ; " not that I would have commiseration withheld from sueh , but to * lace them in the same category with Messrs . White , West , Leach , and Donovan , is a mode of proc _3 dure that I cannot understand . Men who nave devoted their whole lives , and sacrificed their prospects , and the comforts of their wives and families , and who have been before the public for years , ought not to be classed wilh mere spouters . Our four friends have all families , and somo of _tliem .
have wanted bread since thc imprisonment ot their natural protectors .. White ' s family has received , upon an average , 2 s . -Id . weekly , since his incarceration , from the London Committee . White , himself , has received os . per woek from the Manchester Committee , out of which be has to pay a messenger , pay for paper , stamps , itc , and yet the Manchester Committee threaten resignation , it friends do not forward subscriptions to them . What can the men do with os . per week only ? Why it is not enough to purchase the coarsest kind of food . I hope some of the / 'National Guards" will see to this , and pay attention to it ; and recollect that they cheered these men on to where they are . AVill they not
mate the sacrifice of a penny a-weck ? I know many havo como forward nobly—all honour to them ! I likewise know there are thousands who never gave a penny to those men . I call , in the name of the Most High , to those to come forward , and if they will not give for justice sake let them do so for pity ' s . Lot thorn put it to themselves , if they were immured in sucli a hell upon . earth , and their wives and children wanting bread , what their feelings would bo !

To The Editor Of Me Xohtiiern Star. Sir,...
TO THE EDITOR OF ME _XOHTIIERN STAR . Sir , —I am informed that some time since there appeared a notice in your paper concerning the family of one of my _follow-pi-isoneiw , in whicli it was stated that some of tho wives ot ' the political prisoners were receiving support from the people in the towns in which they live . I am further informed , that subsequently there appeared an address from the Manchester Committee , stating that money was sent to this prison from some part of the country , and that the receipt of this money caused dissension among the prisoners . With cither of those statements I have nothing to do , but I beg to state one or two facts concerning myself and my family , and by so doing show to the people to whom those statements are made , how fUr they apply to me and my family .
Sir , I wrote to tho Manchester Committee , and also to the London Committee , requesting that each would send me a correct statement of the amount my wife received from each . Mr . Clark answered for the London Committee , but I have had no answer from Manchester , though I have written more than once . Prom -Mr . Clark ' s letter I find that my family have received at the rate of 3 s , 6 d , per week since I have been placed here , and all that they have received from the Manchester Committee , to my knowledge , is Cs . This , with los . from Leeds , and Ss . from Rochdale , is all that my wife has had from tho Chartist body ; and though I may feel that those who seem to profess our principles have not done as thoy would wish to be done by , I must return my thanks to the good few who have done their dutv .
I may state here , that thc week that she received the money from Leeds the sum sent from London for her to the Manchester Committee was stopped , and never given to her . Then , sir , as to the other question concerning the money received here , I must confess that I know but little of it . I have been in this prison now six months , and all the money that I liave received here has amounted to about iGs . ; 7 s . of which I sent home . I must take this opportunity of thanking those friends who sent me the stamps ( as it was in that shape I received the most of it ) for their kindness , as without their aid I could not have written more than two letters per week . In conclusion , I must toll those friends who have written to me during tho last week , that the reason why I havo not answered their letters is , that I have no postage stamps . By publishing this in your next number ofthe Star you will much oblige ,
_i ours , as ever , Daxiel Donovax . P . S . —I have not seen the address referred to , all that I know of it is from tho information of visitors . Kirkdale GaoJ , Juno 11 th .
