Instead of repenting of tes past life , he _adesotedthe ¦ vretched remnant of his . eeistence to doing ill the mischief he could , and -seating his maliee do the . fullest _exteci that his now _feeling strength * co » 1 * 1 admit nf . Nobsdy dared muster resolution to tell the

      _nnuappyoldfeaterhathe _ u *» t very speedily . die , until Sir Anthony Denny , a _Jsaight , who shared mr friend Drumnwnd ' _s aversion to humbug of any description , _boldl-rto'd old Harry & athe _wasont _& C point of visiting lm redoubtable _jcamesake . Findinj . all _chtsce of escape _mteS , he began confessing his sins , but it was rather £ 93 late , for , had his repentance been sincere , the _catalogue of bis _crimes was far too voluminous to allow of his getting through one-half of it before his dissolution . He had been in the habit oi adjourning that court of conscience existing in his as well as in every man's breast , and he always postponed ft sine die ; but ¦ when the time to die actually came , or the die was jreally cast , it was rather late to move for a new trial . Henry died on the 29 th of January 1547 in

      , , the fifty-sixth year of bis age . the thirty-eighth of lis reign , and at least the forty-first of his selfishness , "baseness , and brutality . He had been married six times , having divorced two of his wives , beheaded two more , and left one a widow . Tbis leaves one more—Jane Set mour—still _Tonaccounted for ; and indeed her death was the most -wonderful efall , _fas _^ auseit waBtiatnral . He had left be" nind him 3 children ; _bnthedid not care a pin ' s head , or even— -to name an article of smaller importance to Mm—a wife ' head , for any one of them . Such a -very bad man was sure to be a very bad father , and ie had declared two of bis children illegitimate , for it was the delight of this monster to _depreciate bis own off-spring in _theey-a of * t " ae world as much as possible . His religious reforms , however wholesome

      in their results , were brutal ia their execution , and base in tlieir origin . His insincerity may be gather _^ irom the fact that he appointed masi-. es . to be said for Ills own soul , though he had burnt many persons for popery ; and he seemed to think that , by taking up two creeds at once on his death-bed , he could make np for the utter irreligion of his past existence . lie is -aid to have contributed to the cause of enlightenment , aud so perhaps he did with all bis blackness , as the coal contributes to the gas ; and never was a bit of Wallsend half so hard , or a tenth part so black , as the heart of this despicable sovereign . He never lad a friend ; bnt he was surrounded by sycophants

      whom , ece after the other , he atrociously sacrificed . Cr * nmer , being a man of superior mind , exercised an influence orer him , and was sent for to his death led , when he pressed the prelate ' s hand ; but whether the pressure arose from cramp or conscience , rheumatism or remorse , penitence or " pins and needles , * " must be considered a question to which we wll not hazard an answer , "We regret that we have been unable to adhere to the excellent motto , de _snonuu nil nisi loRum , iu thi 3 case ; but Henry was such a _abided malum inse , that mischief was bred in the bone , and the nil nisi bonum becomes impossible . _HF _* - omt __ el 3 _« i _ or July ) partof a Beckett ' s Comic Metory of England . ]

      THE NORTHERN STAR SATURDAY , JULY IT 1847 .

      The Expiring Parliament. The Intriguing ...

      THE EXPIRING PARLIAMENT . The intriguing and bickering , tbe struggling and str iving , ike changing and swerving of six years , is about to-come to a close . The _Septewnial Parliamentary . cruise is nearly finished , and the vessel of the Slate as steering into a port it little thought would prove its ultimate destination . But it has been drieeu from without . The hand of the statesman haslet the rudder obey the impulse of the waves—be has stood a powerless phantom at the helm , and lias seen the ship go on despite his will . Thus has it been with a majority of the measures that hare emanated from tbe present Parliament .

      Either they have come direct from the people , and have heea tforced on the House , or they bave been carried in the same of the people , and thus obtained sufficient strength to conquer indoor opposition ; for it often happens , in times of political transition , that one faction or another is enabled to baffle its rival by entrenching itself behind an imaginary rampart of popular support ; attaching the popular name to some party-measure , in which the people themselves may take little or no interest and thus serve their own purpose , while the people are

      satisfied by hearing themselves talked about in the House . But this wry talking talks the popular cause into power , and is in itself a sign of the times . Even those measures , however , which have been based on a sound foundation , have been crippled in the tortuous courses of the Legislature . What evil was not engendered in the Commons was added in Ihe lords—as in the case of the Poor Law ; or , where measures , good in themselves , were passed , the machinery for their enactment has either been defective , or concomitant obstacles have not

      been removed . Thus with regard to Free-Tradethe sound principle bas been vitiated or nullified , in being only recognised as a party-measure . Tbe one monopoly has been removed—the others—without whicb Free-Trade is but an imperfect reform—have remained untouched . Government are fearful of grappling with the Election Law , the Navigation Laws , the Game Laws , tlie Land Laws , the Church Law , and

      Taxation . The principle they bave partially recognised in Free-Trade applies to these as well , —• and they will have to apply it too , or at once yield their place to worthier aad wiser men . These , with Ireland , will be the task , the OPPORTUNITY or the DIFFICULTY , according to its honesty or expediency , of the ensuing Parliament . AU must now feel that it is utterly vain to resist the ultimate triumph of civil and religious liberty—some , however , think it may be delayed . ¦ Not in our day !"— -but , like toads amid the sunshine , the retrogressive politicians crawl , powerless to

      ¦ resist , seeking out some dark nook 0 / corruption for _abeir retreat . Thence they have thrown themselves into the arms of Mother Church . They feel their - temporal weapons not sufficient , and they seek to wield spiritual ones as well . This accounts for the _loajg-surplice dispute—which was well calculated to _esgtjge weak minds in a religious controversy—( _geod Heaven I do men suppose reli gion to consist in a tsffite or black _gownf ) This accounts for the comaiilation of tithes , ia order to remove the sordid character of the State-establishment from too immediately before the . eyes of the people ; this

      _accountafor the rapid spceatl of _church-buildldingthis accounts for the Mayaootb grant and Catholic endowme * j * , _iia order , if _posialile . to render the independent _fioiaan Catholic Clergy subservient to the State . _Bui-tije latter are _seeingithrough the scheme ; they see thst , instead of farthering , it will impair tbe interests * k their Churek . j in . fn . mmon . with the anti-State Churchmen iu _Eogland- . they , too , feel that a true _chtrflh ougbt only to be upheld by tie dght band of Gofi , and not by _pailiauzentarj * _agnactcsnts ; they , to © ., feel tbat in tuhe _.-satae deg « _eas the people grow e _* _r % htened , Cfei * arch . and State will forta a closer _leafc-je , to darken , if _^ _ofsible , the

      rising mind of the _ea & _stry , and _evej-y religious _communi-Jf-willat once peeseive that tlae ne-wbishops and ebarcbes _, tbe new . endowments and Education scheme , are but as _soeuny brittle shields-held up against ihe on-march of THE CHASTER . But as two _fe'jmogeneous etessients are at work—as religious reform and political reform are _ tfogr «« ing jside by side—a chance yet r . emains for tbe _monopolist . " DWide them ! nay , more—breed dissension between them , and we shaU be able to chain them down for another generation . " This is the object of their policy—this is the plan of their government . Thence bave they worked , and subtly , tbe Endowment Scheme and the Education

      Scheme , thinking to create discord among the popular ranks . Some , they thought , would be for , and some against , Government Education—and this would produce a split . The Roman Catholics , they imagine , would be gratified by endowmeut , and thus join in a crusade against tbe Dissenters . - Alas for tbem ! They have been mistaken . They never dreamed of the almost

      unanimous protest against their Education scheme , _ not against education , bnt against a one-sided , a sectarian , an autocratic education . They never antici . pated the advance made by __ the religious mind o _ _- the country—that those whom tbey called bi gOtg were more liberal than their _self-assignated Libera masters ; tbat tbe Christians of every persuasion would say , " Let the Church stand on its own foundation _, and FAIR PLAY TO EVERY CREED

      THROUGHOUT THE WORLD 1 " It is with these truths ringing in its ears that the Parliament expires—truths it lias been incapabl e of _smothering it has beeu unwilling to recognise . Its death-bed is haunted by visions of murdered reforms and mutilated acts . Au untimely death-bed repentance seizes it , now tbat it is too late , and it tries to renew the leases of its life by the nostrums of " Extension of the Suffrage" and political

      reforms , vague , shadowy , and indistinct as are its notions of Right and Justice . "We will hear of no extension" short of UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGEwe know of no Reformer but the people—PARTY canno t legislate for COUNTRY , landlord for labourer , or factory lord for workman . The House of Commons is the jury wbicb is to decide tbe popular cause ; it is a PACKED JURY , so long as those exclusively occupy its benches whose interests are hostile to th * - people . The very tew forbids

      Parliamentary Review. {Parliament Is .Wo...

      PARLIAMENTARY _REVIEW . { Parliament is . working " double -tides , " sultry ar . « i oppressive though the * weather * be , for the purpose ¦ o f _a . winding-up . at the earliest possible moment , and _daaaii . probability we shall next-week have to record -thedecease ofthe _longestJivediEarMament of modern 'times . Its . Character , actions , « nd probable future dmfluence , may form the theme for . comment on other occasions . "Whatever difference of opinion may exist as to its career , from the ( period tbat Peel took ¦ office to his . retirement , there _acan , we believe , be hut one opinion respecting it since-the destinies ofthe

      country were _confided to RusseJ . Its closing ses-. ¦ _fijoii contrasts curiously with its . active earlier sessions . _The-ctatain will drop on a complete legislative blank . Not one great or iiapoitant _. measure -has passed this year . The -only legacy it bequeathes to posterity is an addition of _5 , 000 , 000 / . to the National Debt ; aud the recollection tbat that sum , which might have effected incalculable permanent benefit for Ireland , has been spent in such a way as

      to be all but useless . We state tins with the recollection that a New Poor Law for Ireland has passed—the only portion of tbe remedial measures in the Ministerial budget which attained that distinction . Whatever its indirect tendencies and influence may be , it must be confessed that , as it stands , it is not sueh an act as a Minister who desired to claim the credit of humane and comprehensive statesmanship would like to father .

      The do-nothing policy has become so commonthe withdrawal of bills ofthe greatest importance is so much a matter of course—tbat it can occasion no surprise to our readers to find that this week is like the last and many previous weeks in that respect . With the exception of granting supplies , no public business of any great importance has been transacted , There has been the usual amount of motions and of" talk ; " but motions , bills , and " talk "

      have finished in withdrawals' and postponements to another session . Unfortunate members wbo will have to sit in " another session 1 " what enormous arrears of Whig good intentions they will have to bring up I what a host of promissory bills tbey will be called upon to honour ! If Russell and his Cabinet oflncapahles continue to tit on the Treasury bench , we much fear that payment of these promissory bills will be still further postponed .

      Among The Subjects On Which A " Palaver,...

      Among the subjects on which a " palaver , " tbe Indians call it , lias taken place , is that of Bribery and Corruption at Elections . This is a favourite topic with talkers . It is easy to declaim against bribery , and to earn a cheap reputation for political virtue and purity , by the repetition of stock and cant phrases and fine sentences against so notorious a political and social vice as the bribery of electors . We believe that that vice exists now to a smaller extent than at any period of our modern history I

      but , however that may be , it is certain lhat mere Acts of Parliament have not and cannot put it down _. Make them as stringent as you may—multiply words—increase penalties as yon please—means will be found in future , as tliey have _liceri in past times , to evade the law . It has been said that a coach and six horses might be driven through tlie strictest Act of Parliament that ever was framed _, and certainly the statement is verified by the fate of all previous Bribery Bills . If the mere _declalmers against this vice were in earnest , it would be very easy to point out

      a way by wbich they could _eftectually secure the object they profess to have in view , and do a great act of political justice to the unenfranchised classes at the same time . The remedy is a simple and a radical one . Pass a bill enacting that every man of sane mind , who has attained the age of 21 years shall henceforth be an elector , and add to this the protection of the Ballot . From lhat moment bribeiy and corruption will be unheard-of , because it would be too expensive to try to bribe the masses , who would then possess th Franchise ; while the

      exercise of the right , through the medium of the ballot , would deprive the briber of all actual control over the conduct of the bribed . . The mere fulmination of virtuous resolutions against a vicious practice , or the enactment of penal statutes , whilst the strong self-interest of men prompts to its commission , is but a part of that irrational system by which men have , in all ages , deceived themselves into the belief that words were 8 substitute for things . The only radical and rational mode of legislating is , to make the laws and the self-interest of those who are to live under them , harmonize . In this case

      we presume , however , Lord Brougham attained the object he had in view—that of delivering a speech , and of keeping up a " kind of traditional reputation for what are called Liberal opinions . ' " At this late period of the session , " as was pathetically and originally pleaded by Lord Lansdowne , " it was impossible to do anything in the shape of a bill ; and as to resolutions , why their Lordships had passed plenty of resolutions on the subject already—resolutions which no doubt every one ot their Lordships hzd violated in his own person , or through his con neidons , with the most edifying morality .

      The Bill For Making Four New Bishops Dre...

      The bill for making four new Bishops drew from Mr Hbrsman a startling and able exposure of the jobbery perpetrated in that department of State management ; and the debate incidentally damaged the ministry , especially Lord J . Russell , by showing him to have been incansistent in his opinions as to the necessity or desirability of having more Bishops . The Premier , however , is working hard to have the support of the Church party and the Wesleyans at the next election , and does not mind being dragged through the dirt a ' little , so that he achieves his object . The Bishoprics Bill is a mere ecclesiastical

      job . Nobody in his senses believes that the creation of a Bishop of Manchester will in the slightest degree benefit the people * of that great hive of industry . It will neither make them wiser , honester _, nor happier . Its only effect will be to provide another place , witb a title and a larger revenue for one of the numerous broods of privileged idlers and bloodsuckers who prey on the vitals ofthe people . It is our honest conviction , that if the whole order of Bishops was abolished to-morrow , the sun would shine , the rains fall , the winds blow ,

      and the world turn round just as usual , seed-time and harvest would succeed each other in . the same old fashion , manufacturers and merchants would go on creating and distributing wealth , and the people at large work , eat , drink , sleep , and perform the usual duties of citizenship just as well , if not a great deal better , than they do at present . The idea that giving a man a title , two or three

      palaces , and five or thirty thousand pounds a year , is calculated to subserve the cause of religion or uphold Christianity , is most preposterous and ridiculous—and this proposed addition to an unnecessary and exclusive class , is only one of the many instances in which Lord John and his colleagues have so lately violated " the great principle of mil and religious liberty , " about which they are accustomed to spout so glibly .

      The Home Secretary Is Determined To Prot...

      The Home secretary is determined to protect the coal-owners' interest at all hazards . Mr Duncombe ' s short and simple bill to prevent the use of gunpowder in collieries , has followed in the wake of his larger and more important measure , for the better ventilation of mines , and the prevention of abuses practised on the working colliers . In the facs of the recent most horrible and deplorable explosion at Kirkless Colliery , where the practice of blasting wUh gunpowder led to the loss ' of seven lives—six persons being absolutely _bricked-up in the pit , to prevent

      it from extending—in the face of this and numerous other similar cases , Sir G . Grey refused even a small preventive measure as a temporary remedy _. The Government influence was brought to bear in favour of the coal-owners j the influence of money prevailed , and the claims' of humanity were rejected . Property , not man , is the great object of modem legislature , and of legislative protection . What is

      the loss of a few lives compared with the diminution of the accustomed 5 or 10 per cent . ? Of course the lateness of the session—that hacknied and ready excuse—was alleged as the cause of refusing a bill , which did not need an hour ' s consideration , had there been the slightest desire on the part of the Government to check the evil it applied to . The colliers will , no doubt , remember their obligations to the Whig Ministry !

      The Obstructives Were Nearly Beaten On W...

      The Obstructives were nearly beaten on Wednesday , on the division for the 2 nd reading of the bill brought in by Sir De Lacy Evans , to enact that the payment of rates up to the 5 th Oct . ofthe previous year , instead ofthe 5 th of April ofthe current year , should entitle electors to the right of voting for Members of Parliament . On the amendment that the bill be read that day three months , the numbers were equal , and the Speaker , according to precedent , gave the casting-vote against the amendment . The division for the seconding reading showed 52 for ,

      and 53 against , the bill being _xost by the majority of one only . These " small goes" have very little ofour sympathy ; but their fate shows of what nietal our legislators are made , and indicate their anti-reforming tendencies and predilections in a manner not to be mistaken . It is clear that both Whigs and Protectionists have taken their stand upon the Reform Act , as a final measure , so far as they are concerned , and are prepared to fight lustily for keeping things as

      they' are . Half-a-dozen earnest Chartists in the House of Commons under the leadership of Mr Duneombe would change the aspect of affairs in a very short time , and that which now appears to many " hon . members" either Utopian or objectionable , would speedily assume both a practical and a desirable aspect . Is it too much to expect that THE PEOPLE will have that number of representatives in the so-called " People ' s House" next Parliament ?

I forgotten by the Chartists of Lancashire and York-. h _' r _=: f and for our part , we shall never be able ' to erase from c : r I memory the splendid spectacle which presented it-tit ' -, . our view when we first beheld the . _housands of _buir ; _, ] beings- assembled under the canopy of henven _, i _ j amongst the blooming heather on _Blackstone-Edge . With a few ofour Chartist friends we engaged a ipri :, . cart , and left Manchester at 6 o'clock in tbe morning . ;> was very gloomy , and looked like rain , but _notwilhs' _^ _ding ; , when we got on the road , ive beheld nurab . _ti . i pedestrians wending their way towards the place si meeting , and it was truly pleasing to see inch _devoiioote principles as there manifested itself— " veterans" in fa cause undertaking a j . iurney of twenty miles on _fum tithe purpose of meeting kindred souls amongst their o « a native hills , there to renew tQeir fealty to each other as' j their holy principles .

      The various towns and hamlets through whkb n ' i passed were pouring out their tributaries forthe _purptse of making this demonstration worthy of the came is j behalf of wbich it had been get up , J We had heard much of the ¦« potato blight" by _thatvils . rag the J / _oiicftesfer _Quardian , avid consequently liar '! : * some time on our hands , « ve looked for ft , but could _t-i I find any . The crops on every side looked most promisis ; , and the perfume from the meadows and the _oen-mai \ hay was truly delicious , and as we viewed the siveel- « ' Nature and tbe simplicity of rural life , many were the _hear-. felt ejaculations of" Oh ! how I da wisb ' l wa » ballot ; - * , and on my own allotment "

      A < about 11 o ' clock wc arrived at the foot of the hill , aid feeling ready for a second breakfast , we accepted thc ufir of one ofthe local inhabitants , to make use of his fire - side , where , with the help of his good wife , we were soon made comfortable .

We _renwii- 'J here until near one o ' clock , during the whole of _whicS time there was one continutd and dense stream of line * beings making their way to the place of meeting . The Bacup Chartists came up with three large waggons and other conveyances , and a splendid band of music .
