S . Tnat taxation should be equalised , by substituting for all other taxes a graduated property tax . These are the p rinciples which , in our opinion , oaght to form the basis ef a great National Union ; aid we now call upon the Trades of Great Britain and Ireland to unite in one firm and indissoluble bond , and carry out the objects propounded in the foregoing c onstitution . We have p laced as the first proposition the universal right of the people to the soil , as we are strong in onr conviction that the usurpation ofthe
land il the primary cause of the distress under which the mass of the people are now suffering . Yes , tet it every where be proclaimed in the most _solemn and positive * manner , that tbere is no hope ¦ wha tever of any real amelioration in the deplorable condition of the workmen of this country , so long as the land remains locked up from their labour , and they are driven from the bosom ot tfae soil which onght io yield them sustenance arid support by . their industry . As the earth is the great primary source from whence is derived all that is useful to
the comfert and sustenance of man , we demand that we shall be permitted to labour on onr conntry ' s soil for tbe production and distribution of wealth requisite for our subsistence , and the surest mode of increasing the national prosperity and resources , and imparting solidity aud security to the Commonwealth . "We demand that the elective franchise shall be extended to every man who has attained the proper age to exercise the rights of citizenship , as the only
means by which labour can obtain a fair and equitable protection by the legislature , in common with all other interests of the community , and that the male adult population of Great Britain and Ireland shall no longer be treated as outlaws by the constitution of their country . We are strong in the belief that the virtues or vices of a nation are in a great measure the result of its legislation , we are convinced that the wisdom of tfae empire can be best Collected in the legislature by a complete representation of the people .
We a e deeply impressed with the belief that ignorance and poverty are the parents of crime—the evil counsellors that wage continual war against the peace and progression of society , and wholly incompatible with a well-governed state—the safety or prosperity of the empire , or the happiness of the people . We therefore declare , that it is the duty of the government to secure a real practical , scientific , and secular education for the people , as the only Brans of fully developing the genius and intellect of the nation , and rendering it subservient to the interest of the whole community . Since it is decreed by the organic laws that govern the constitution of man tbat the mind is inseparable from the body , and that -whatsoever tends to oppress the one is equally injurious tothe other—and as the body can
only receive strength and support from the fruits arising from labour , as the mind receives knowledge and vigour from instruction , it follows that a sufficient proportion of aliment for each is indispensable to the rational existence of man . We furthermore declare , that it is the duty of a government to afford every facility to the people to provide for themselves useful employment ; and as we believe that would be best effected by the establishment of self-supporting Home Colonies , we therefore urge the Trades of fiie United Kingdom to impress open the government the necessity of introducing a Bill into Parliament to suction the formation of those industrial establishments , as the best and most profitable means of providing useful employment for the people .
We have bestowed mnch consideration Upon BUT money laws , and we pronounce them to be most peraicioTB to industry , and fatal to the best interests of the nation . We therefore declare , that what we require is , a currency that will enable the community tt large to he accommodated with an instrument of jnst and equitable exchange , and not continue to be systematically plundered by the unnatural fluctuations in theyalue of money , in relation to the articles for Rhich itis exchanged , arising from the restriction Ud usurpation of the _eircukKng medium , which invests the monied power with the secret and subtle mechanism of the most iniquitous usury and peculation .
We next appeal to you as thinking men , and ask yon whether there he not something fearfully wrong i in that state of society which systematically converts workmen into prisoners and paupers- and employs them in their degraded position in the manufacture of articles winch are brought into the market to compete _andxednce to tbeir standard the industrious workmen , who have struggled to escape these living catacombs of human misery in which their unequal competitors " are confined . Behold , then , in that , _thesLcanse ef onr declaration why goods made in prisons and workhouses onght not to he brought into tmequal competition with the tradesman and artisan !
Having said thus much upon the main features of the fundamental principles ofthe constitution , we now call upon you to nnite with all the earnestness of . men who have consecrated themselves to their redemption . _Recollect , yen mast be the instruments of your own regeneration 1 If erer there was a time in the history of your country when union was required among all classes who live by labour , the present period above all others demands you should unite . Bear in mind , you have but one of two alternatives to choose . Yon must either consent to allow yonrseWes and jour children to be the victims of the
most subtle and systema tic oppression that was ever _concocted-oryou mustuuite and hold the monstrous system up to public scorn and indignation , until the tmanimous voice ofthe nation proclaimsit shall beno more . Forget not the golden maxim of Lord Bacon , that _'Kkowmbge is Power , and Union is _Sibsncth . ' Be it also understood , that it is only by a concentration of the knowledge , the means , and the energies of the Trades of this empire , that they _^ _" _^ he emancipated ; and it is equally certain that white they remain disunited , they will continue to be enslaved . Believetu , it is no vain appeal that we _-jreoinstram-ja to nuie to ycu in this the unpa-
Ralleled Epoch Of Our Country's Oppressi...
ralleled epoch of our country ' s oppression . We call aloud with one unanimous voice to the genius of British _industry , and bid it arise and know itself , and behold that the impious hand of privileged and selfish legislation is upon it , and threatens it with destruction , wbicb can only be averted by union , and a correct knowledge of the causes by which it is enslaved . Finally , we ask you _> iu this our concluding appeal , whether you are prepared to sit down tamely and look on with indifference at your own _destruction , whilenli the nations of Europe are making such gigantic strides in the great and glorious manuraisrion of liberty . If you are , then we tell
you frankly that you justly deserve the fate that awaits you , and the execration of future generations . But we have far higher hopes of the men of the Trades than that . Our aspirations are far beyond the regions of despair . Let the oppressed take courage , and the innocent cheer up . If you will only unite , all will yet go well . Unite , then , without delay , and you may rely upon the energies ana devotion of the Trades Delegates . Signed on their behalf , James _O'Ltjary , Chairman , * i m > A . E . Delafobcb , Secretary , ] " N . B . All communications addressed to the Secretary , atthe Craven ' s Head , _Drury Lane , will receive prompt attention .

A mas of evidence waa heard before the coroner ' * inquest , and tbe jary returned ¦ verdiot of * Temporary Insanity . ' Tue GU < a ° w _CmsiaoraE—On Thursday week , the gable walls of Mr Wilson's sugar home , at Alston-Street , beiog so far removed ai to admit the renewed operations of exoavatiog tbe ruins , workmen were again _employed in _clearing away the rubbl h . In the coarse of tbeir labours , tbe remaining body , that of Thomas Lore , was disinterred from among the man . In a very _aduneea state of deoomposltion , and immediately claimed b y hit unfortunate widow ,
A Mam _Fodsd iu a Like Eir . tr . —On Thursday a man named Wood , having occasion co go to the lime-kilns in Holly Lane , he looked into the kiln and saw the body of a penes named Bobert Arkell lying on the lime _siones at a deptb ef about five feet from the top of the kiln , A fire was burning at the time , aud > -rood deal of smoke _atislag bnt there was no flame . Wood called for assistance , and a policeman and some other persons arriving , the body was got oat . Tbe _deoeasedVcloiheswennotat all burned , bnt there was a slight mark on his cheek . Avkell was employed to break stones at the kiln , and it is suppoa . d that he fell ia while aboat hts work . An inquest was held on the body by J .

The steppage of labour It severely felt ; numbers of mea are thrown upon their parishes by ihe total cessation of the works on the Great Northern Ballway [ In the county of Enntingden , where hundreds of acre ' s are un der water . From one small village alone fifteen applicants appeared at the Board of Guardians
oa Saturday last for relief . Unfortunately this happen * at a time when the farmers cannot emp ' oj their regular nambsr of hands on account of the wet weather . Many mechanics , too , ara thrown of employment , perhaps for the winter , to this we may add , from the same cause , a general depression of trade . Should the late ralm be followed by iharp frosts , tke greater part of the turnips aad coleseed on low lands , we much fear , will be destroyed . A respectable farmer residing Is the neigh _, bourbood , wko has fifty acres of coleseed standing on land which had been manured with bones , doesBOt think the crop will realise £ 3 , owing to the inundation .
_Sihquias _Dspbepatio *" . —A few days ago , two human tkeletoni , apparently the remains of athletto young men , wera discovered by some workmen employed apon an excavation oa the Whitehaven and Paruesa _Bsllway They were fonnd lying close together , In aa _eneloiure about eighteen inches below the surface of the earth , and about fifty yards from high water mark , with no remains of any buttons or other remnants of wearing apparel near themt It is supposed that the bodies mast have been buried there for thirty years . Tbe remains were examined by Mesirs lawson , of Ejremont ; but whilst preparations were making for the decent interment of the skeletons , both of them were stolen , and no elue haa yet been obtained as to tha parltea engaged la that singular and mysterious depredation .

Seeing that a collision was _taevltable , ha immediately shut off tha steam , and tried to make the collision as slight as possible . The engine , however , dashed late the fifth waggon of the coal train , smashing it Into a hundred pieces : at the Bams _tlmathe engine tender and the whole ef the carriages were more or less shattered . The waggons of the cos ! train were
also forced off the line , and the passengers in the express train ( about forty innumker ) were all thrown from thelr seats and driven against each other . A lady and _twa gentlemen were severely injured , and one parry had several of bis teeth knocked out . The other passengers escaped with brnlies , more or less severe . The accident was owing entirely to the mismaaagement ef the driver ofthe coal waggon , who , when he saw what had taken place , took to his feet , and made his esespe . His doty was to have waited for the express train to _patsi the points be fore he ventured on the line , bat in spite of the signal which was putnp , he seemed determined to risk the lives of the _psiisngera as well as his ewn . The police were immediately sent in search , of the driver . Tha passengers , after waiting nearly two hours , were taken to Manchester by the Oldham train .

North , soon caught fire , and was _aerlowly injured ; bnt part of it was saved , owing tothe exertioa of the inhabitants , with the assistance of the _Syston fire-engine and fire-men . —About an hoar after the fire broke out In the stack-yard another fire was discovered in a stack of hay , abent half a mile from the stack yard , and also the property of Mr S . North , proving at once that it was the work of an incendiary , but owing to the number of stacks in tba yard tha firemen aad inhabitants dared not leave until the fire was quite out in the yard , daring which time tbe other stack was rendered quite _worthless , although they had succeeded in extinguishing the fire , after some hard labour and cuKtog the stack in pieces , —Aboat tlie _SSBte time the second fire was discovered some wretches entered
Mr S . Ntrth _' s premises and stole property to tbe amount of £ 140 , besides olotbes , parts of whleh were dropped b ; the way as the thieves made their escape .

One of the party , finding tbat all hopes of escape had vanished , pitifully begged for mercy , en the grounds that sbe ' was a very poor woman ' and very near ber confinement ; but greatly to the astonish _, ment of the Bev . Gentleman he seen discovered that , instead of being a womaa , the person was a msn in woman ' s clothing—an _indlvidaal who onght to deserve the character of a respectable farmer ; and tha other two , who were also in femile attire , were his men servants _.
_MiLUiCEow Death bt _Cnxoaovosu . —A few days ago Mr _Csrruthers , a gentleman of fortune , residing at Donaount , Annas , loBtbit life from the incautious application of chloroform . It appeared that the deceased was _tfflicted with asthma , and having _fooad relief from inhaling the subtle vapour , had _fregnent recourse to it . _BeiBj- an eipsrt angler , and extremely fond af piscatorial recreation , he sometimes employed himself rather late in adjusting bis books and making artificial flies . On Tuesday morning week he was found sitting at the table apparently _followlsg this ccoupation , in the position in which his servant had left him en the preceding sight , but it was soon discovered that the unfortunate gentleman was quite dead , and to all appearanoe life had been extinct for some hears . On the taols sras the evidence of the fatal occurrence—the han & kerehUf which be had used in applying the chloroform to his month . His death forms another melancholy _instaaoe of tbe folly of employing such dangerous agents for the purpose of obtaining a temporary relief from pain .

The Court of Qaeen ' s Bench was occupi ed on Monday with the case of Martin in error v . the Qaeen . Sir C .

Secondly , that the counts of the indict _, ment are bad , because of uncertainty , the t _* o last not setting forth the printing charged therein . Thirdly , tbat the challenge to the _jurer Duff was a good challenge : and , fourthly , that the sentence is bad , as no penal colony or otber place ot transportation was named
therein . Sis Colman waB followed by Mr P * -rin for tbe Crown , bat tbe arguments were not _conoluded aad the court adjourned till Taesday . The close of tbe proceedings discloses another difference between tbe practice of the courts here and tbose of Westminster Hall , In Eagland wben the subject complains of the Crown , the _subject , like the plaintiff in cases between two _sutyeetj , has the * lost word , ' or the right to reply . In Ireland , tha right , It seems belongs tothe defendant , the Crown . Cases of this kind ought really to ba conducted like other oases , and It does seem , in the words of Mr Jastloe _Pertln , ' very Irish' te prevent the complaisant from summing up the arguments .
The arguments in the oase were doted on Taesday , and judgment was postponed . Habeas Corpas writs were moved for In the Q lean ' s Bench , Dublin , in the cases of Messrs O'Brion F . Meagher , P .

Touching the liberation of one of tbe above-named prisoners , the redoutable * J .

It haa also been stated that tbe friends of this gentleman , who , by tbe way , was one of the principal writers In the Felon newspaper , and for some of whose articles , inserted in that _journal , Mr Martin is now under sentence of transportation , sent two or tbree _memeris ' s daring tbe past week , urging his llberatloa on the ground tbat he was dangerously ill ,
and it was represented that the last rites of the chorea had been administered to him . The medioal officers af the prison did not , however , consider his case so dangerous as bis frionds had represented it , being merely a severe attack of asthma , and recommended that he should be removed to the prison hospital . This course Mr Lalor stoutly resisted , doubtlessly relying npon the power of extrema unetlen and priestly _lafliecce to effeot his liberation ; and the result shows that be has not bten disappointed . He will now be at large , while Mr Martin , who published his writing * , broken dowa io health , pines In his cell a eonvlcted felon . '
The correspondent of the _Mobnimq _Cbbomicli sends tbe following _txposure of the so-called insurrection at Cioamel _,
Br at * or _tbb soars , I have ascertained that the official aBd other accounts desoribed all parts of the southern province as totally free from an ; movements of an Insurrectionary character , There ate indications of agrarian cr me in some districts , which , in all likelihood will become much mere decided as the winter advances ; bat the system of political organisation , that had been so rampant is Jaly last , seems to have evaporated , and rebellion and agitation areata sad discount . The spirit , no doubt , survives , and the materials of discontent and disaffection still exist , bat the ; have been so orushed by the recent proceedings , so many families hare suffered ruin , and the entire prospects of tbe disaffected have been so utterly absurd and chimerical , that all confidence is each movements is destroyed , and no rebellion-monger oan now find an audience .
The recent ' insurrectionary movements at Clonmel ' are bow admitted ob all hands to have been a monstrous exaggeration , a mere paper plot—worked out insrlorlousl ; to produce a temporary alarm . It if curious that tbe affair excited net the slightest apprehension In Clonmel—nay , it caused very little attention , One of tbe principal Quaker merchants of that town bss been in Dublin for some days . Wben the acoouatof the 'insurrection * arrived on Friday last , he was utterly ignorant about it , and , beoause he reoeived DO _intllligeaea on the subject , he was disposed to regard It as a false alarm
, unworthy of the least attention , However , tbe mer . cbant wrote f * r information to the firm with whioh be is connected ; and yesterday he received a reply , te the _effect that tbe matter was altogether so trifling as to be undeserving ot seriens notice ; that a number of foolish people had certainly been arrested ; bnt as their whole firmament consisted of a single pike , in a tow * with * formidable garrison , the affair was only remarkable for its ludlcrotteness , especially as the looal _authorltiis had been all along folly apprised of every step taken by the brainiest people now in custody .

TBB TC 61 T 1 VH _IIAniBS , It is now tolerably certain that tho _reflon ' Dtable Richard O'Gorman , whose perilous adventures by land and flood woald afford a stock-in-trade sufficient to keep the _mostprollfio novel writer in fall work for twelve months to oome , effected his escape from tbo port of Dublin , whither be was tracked by tbe police , wbo were thrown off tbe scent by the doubles and turn s of the hunted game . He got on board a vessel lying in the Ca _* _tom-house Docks , bonnd for Smyrna , which was sab . jected to a rigid seareb no less _tbaa three times before she _enttied the ha ; of Dablin on ber outward voyage-m once , while in dock ; a second time , at Halpln ' _s-pool at the ens of the North Wall ; end a third time at ' the Pigeon-house Fort ; bnt to well was the fugitive dis .
gulsed as a seaman , tbat his appearanoe never excited the slightest suspicion . From Smyrna he Is said to have gone to Constantinople , 8 Dd from thence to Paris , where he remains at present , If o less narrow was the escape of Mr John Dillon , upon whose head there was set a reward of £ 390 , and whose aotlve participation In the late rebellion , more especially in the affair at Kiilenaule , rendered bis capture a matter of grave Impor * . ance to tbe Government . Previous to bis flight to America be spent several days in the town of Galway , habited as a _clergyman ofthe Charon of Rome , awaiting the departure of a vessel bound to New Tork . One day , however , wbile quietly perambulating the streets , be per * ctived , b ; an earnest stare from a passer by , thathe was recognised by a party whose acquaintanceship be considered would be more _daagereus than serviceable at so critloal a period . Taking tbe alarm , he took a boat on
the _loatant , and set sail for the adjacent island of Arran , where he met shelter and protection at the house of an old _rriead . He was not many minutes located hers , when a war steamer was d _* sorted bearing down with al speed towards the Island . All bow seemed lost , bat the Ingenuity of his host Interposed , and b ; a clever ruse he sucoeeded in _beffilag his pursuers . Two boats were got ready , manned by crews of tho hard ; fishermen who dwelt in those _parts-oonea light rowing boat , the other a swift logger . Into the former Dillon _jamped , and was rowed with all speed towards the steamer ; while acordlng to directions the logger , wltb all her sails set , and with a highly favourable gale put out to sea , as if flying before the steamer , wbich Immediately gave chase , never for once heeding the beat with Its passenger- which passed _olo-eto her _boWS _, and fffelch _glinsd the port of Galway without C & _UBiQg % WJ _ObSSTVaUOQ , Itt two days afterwards be was on tbe Atlantic

There wa * something in the wind on the night of the 9 h last ., and there was a 'hosting' of _maloontents In that wild nelghbonrhood—• The Wilderness / near Clonmel . The papers will give yoa the particulars , although , by ths way , there are as many _confl _' ctlag stories told respecting It , as there are about tha ' Great Sea Serpent , ' er the exploit ! of the celebrated _rapparee , Daniel _O'Laary . But , however the foci Is—tbat then was a considerable gathering ol armed peasantry ia that place called' The _Wilderness' Jast Friday night , and there can be scarcely a reasonable doubt but their okjeot was an attack on Clonmel gaol for the rescue of the state convicts ; The authorities , however , had ' timely warning , ' and were adequately prepared to meet each a foray , aad to overwhelm the insurgents too . Suoh lll . _jadged desaltory freaks 89 these csn bring only farther shame on Ireland , and rain to her still remain * ing liberties .
O'Brien and Mosgher have now a good chance ot their liberty through the very probable success olthe Writ ot Error whioh has been moved in their favour , and those Saxon-haters should avoid the commissloa efacy insane deeds whioh may have a _prejadlclal effrot en _themlads of thois men by whom tbat Writ of Error will be tried , But the ' Wilderness' affair Is only a preliminary to many others of the same character whioh we shall kave daring tae coming months of winter . Ireland will soon become one vast tbeatre of Insubordination , crime , murders , robberies , and resistance to tbe laws . The unfortunate people cannot avoid these _things ,
Starvation is already _cemmeaolng its werk of destruction ; and as tfae peasantry have now no hepe from the priests , O ' Connell , tke Whigs , or ' the war , ' they will stop at no _exoesses—baulk at the commission of no crime , bowever _monstrens or revolting , Ireland will be a bad bargain for the English during many a coming year , and if , like the proprietors of Cudb , they could manage to get her off their hands on any sort of fait terms , it certainly would be the best thing the ; could do with hor—unless , indeed , the ; could diepote of tbe Milesian stock , aod still keep possession of the Meslan Nil .

This town was thrown into a state of the greatest excitement on Thursday week , about nine o ' clock in the evening , by the police running frem their lodgings to barracks , where the greatest bustle was going on , getting under arms and preparing for something extraordinary . At half past ten o ' clock a patrol of aboat twenty mea marohed out of the barrack and went over tbe Old
Bridge , to the Waterford side of the river , and aboat eleven o ' clock a large body of constabulary , together with a detaohment of the 6 ( th regiment , under _Mejor _Duberly , the entire bod ; under the command of Col , Peunsfather , proceeded to tbe Wilderness , a sort of wood aboat a mile and a half from Clonmel , where the ; came upon a bod ; of fellows _sumbering between 01 « and two thousand men , several of them armed , who were drilling In a Sold . When the ; saw the military and police force , they separated and ran , but the police _gavegaase and captured seventeen . One of tbem , named floonan , a gardener , ia trying to _accsp _* _" , was so _olossly pursued tbat he leaped from a _blghpToj > ctttig took to a
tree , from which he fell to the ground , wbere ho was found b ; Snb Inspeotor Brew in a senseless state . The _prisenere arrested are all of different _tradeB , and the leader of the movement is a Ur _O'Lear ; , of Tipperary , a efadent preparing for the Raman Catholio ohurch , or as some say , the bar , Tke military and pollee returned in tbe morning about tbree o ' clock , bringing with tbem the prisoners , _Noosan , the man who leaped from the rock , Is seriously hurt . The belief ls , that several _bundr-dmen were holdiag , or to hold a meeting In the Wilderness , and to maroh on tbe town ; and also , that Devin Belli ; and other leaders are io this neighbourhood stirring up the people to iosurrectien , tbe object of whioh is admitted to bo the resoue of Mr O'Brien and the
other oonvicts , either from tbe gaol , or on their removal to Dublin . The latter Is tha most probable .
