      The Polish Struggle. " Freedom's Battle ...

      r ri _« ld soon add to their numbers , and probably provoke yoke a general rising through Poland . Ev Even out ofthe mysterious peasants'' war in Galfiri a . ficia , S ° oi may come . They hare massacred the poli ! polish nobles , but they have also hung the Austrian coimcoinmissioneis . They are denianding the abolition ef ftef forced labour—that is , their own emancipation ; _snd snd if the Polish nobles have found them enemies , lie ihe Austrians have not found them friends . The fate latest accounts represent the Austrian authorities as in a in a state of great ahum , and pre-taring to make war on 1 on the peasants .

      T These facts should warn the British people that not not an hour is to be lost in rousing themselves to the _assi assistance of the Poles . Nest Wednesday evening a g a . great metropolitan demonstration will be holden at the the Crowa and Anchor . Let every democrat in Lo London be at his post that evening , and raise the sh < shout of fraternity and sympathy for Poland . Let dis district meetings throughout London immediately fol follow . Let similar demonstrations simultaneously

      ta take place throughout the country . Let opinion be or organised and money subscribed . Above all thiogs > lei let every meeting be thoroughly democratic . Let ns ha have these means , and the result will be such an 3 U agitation throughout Europe as will emancipate m more lands than Poland . Thrones and privileges si shall fall before the shock , And , like the baseless fabrick ofa vision , Leave not a wreck behind .

      _POLAND AND THE ENGLISI 1 PRESS . [ From the Remocratie Padfique . ] Tiie great English journals remain silent on the 1 Polish insurrection , and nothing has transpired in ] Parliament concerning it . However , we must not < conclude that the cause of Polish liberty does not < obtain any sympathy among the EogKsh people . On i the contrary , the proletarians en masse , and the ] popular journals , -pronounce themselves energetically i in favour of this noble cause . The J \ _Wfer » & ar has i made aa appeal to the Chartist party , and calls on < every one to subscribe , be it even for a small sum , in < order to show the sympathy of the whole English people for unhappy Poland .

      After all we have heard fr om our neighbours , it is to be presumed , tbat if the Polish revolution should spread in the Slavonian countries , and is able to resist the first efforts of Russia and Austria , England is greatly disposed to pronounce itself in favour of the national unity of Poland .

      Tan Diesus's Lasd.—The Chabtist Exiles.—...

      Tan Diesus ' _s Lasd . —The Chabtist Exiles . —A letter has recently been received by Mr . 0 . H . Parry , veterinary _surgeon , in this town , from _3 Ir . Edward Bollock , formerly of Charville Farm , near Twyford , Berks , and - who a few years since emigrated to VanDieman ' s land . As an account of this place may be interesting to some of our readers , we will give a few extracts from this letter . It bears date Long Port , Probation Station , _Jiaria Island , September 26 , 1 S 45 : — "In replytoyour inquiries respecting the _TSewport Chartists , I will just state that Jones is guard to the Launceston _andHobatt _Teirn mail coach ; Frost is shopman to a large grocer in Hohart Town ; and Williams is overseer ofa party of sawyersin the Peninsula , which is separated from ihe mainland by narrow straits . Beaumont Smith , who forged to . the amount of £ 400 , 000 , is clerk in an office at Jericho . Tajlor , the harness-maker , late of Beading ( Who was transported for forgery ) I hare not heard anything about , as I have not been able to ascertain the

      ship he came out in . The island is beautifully situate in the open sea , about 120 miles from 11 oh art Town , and is very similar to the Isle of Wight , but _thesceaery is more beautiful . Trade and agriculture are much improved here within tbe last twelve months , and , in fact , everybody is doing well—if not , it is their own fault . PortPhilip , Port Adelaide , Port Albert , and all the coionies , are wonderfully improved lately , except that wretched place , Xcw Zealand . "—Reading Ifercury . _Anti-Uilitia _Association . —All persons desirous of becoming agents , and having their names and addresses p rinted on the rules as such , are requested to transmit their names immediately to the secretary , _"EDSirsD Stallwood , at tbe Chartist Co-operative Zand Society Office , Dean-street , Soho , London . _"—JIarch 13 th , 1346 The _Lasn . —We have received several communications of estates to be sold , for which we thank our friends , and request that we may still continue to receive notices that come within the reach of the several

      secretaries . T . S ., MAScai * STEB . — -William Carpenter , the Editor ol Iioydts WeeHg Seuapaper , was the first person who introduced the subject of physical force in the Convention Of 1359 . He sat under two spears crossed , and declared tbey were the _pbjsic-moral-arms of Chartism . He was oueofthepaxtj who was chieflj instrumental in deceiving Frost as te the intentions and state of preparedness of tbe people . He got blazing drunk as chair man of the dinner given to Mr . Duncombe after the presentation of the national petition , made a most violent physical-force speech , and brought Chartism into such contempt , that many left tbe room declaring that Chartism was " the mere howl of drunken _destructives "

      J . Baud . — We fair that neither petitioning , nor any other step that he eould take , would cat him justice : justice is only for the rich , not for the poor . -GesESAL Answers . —It would be utterly impossible for Mr . O'Connor to answer by letter tbe several private communications that he receives—it would more than ocsupy his every hour . J £ b . Q .

      TRADHS AND _THADES * UNIONISTS . S _^ _T * Since the commencement of this paper ' s existence it has ever been our first care to make known through its columns the wrongs and grievances of the working classes . Whether or no the parties aggrieved coincided -with us in politics , it was sufficient for ns that the ; were oppressed , to at once induce as to open our columns tor their statements . But with the best intentions , it is clear we cannot always serve the working men if the working men themselves will not do their _bosinesa in a _businesslike way . Repeatedly , we are blamed for not giving publicity to matters of which we receive no account whatever ; or we are _Auundfault with for " cutting dowrf ' a report that comes to us in so " questionable a shape" that its appearance

      in the state received by us weald do the parties sending it more barm than good . Another complaint made by some of our correspondents is , that we postpone reports or addresses , net inserting them until the week after they are sent to us . last week we received a communication from Leeds purporting to be a report of a tailors' delegate meeting holden in that town . The meeting commenced on -Monday , March 2 nd , and we received a report of two days proceedings <» Thursday , March 12 th . We heard no more from the Tailors' Conferenceuntil Thursday last . March 19 tb , when a person called at the _offii-e with several columns of matter , which , of course , we could do nothing with , Our first edition being then nearly filled up . A strike of the building trade has been going on in Manchester since Monday , the _*" nd of March . Not a word _didwa receive from the proper quarter of this strike until Thursday morning , March 19 th , when we received an address from the Central Committee of Loudon Trades ,

      which , being within reasonable compass , we gave to the compositors . The same evening we received two parcels , oue from Manchester and one from Hull ( where the sailors are on strike ) . These parcels contained huge placards , printed matter and manuscript , which altogether would have filled nearly a page of the Star . At the time tliose _parcels were received , the _expositors had matter in hand fully sufficient to fill the first edition . Friday morning we have not time to put in type more than a very small quantity of matter . "We , therefore , cannot do anything this week with the Blatter received from Manchester and Hull . We must add that the Bull placard we might and ought to have received a week ago , and most oi the Manchester copy should have been here several days ago ; indeed , oue © f the placards was printed so far back as March 2 nd . So long as the business of the trades is conducted in this slorenly manner , we cauuot , and will not , he held Tesionsible for the non-insertion of their _comuiuuicatioiis .

      "Monday. To Be Or Hoi To »K?—Howoften Ha...

      "MONDAY . To be or hoi to _» K?—Howoften hag the popular candidate , surrounded by the enthusiastic spirit of his admirers , mistaken their confident expression of success as the sure indication of victory ! The present struggle _bstween the quiet confident Lords , Mn » by for a "lurch , " and thegabbling young Commoners very much reminds us of the conscious security ofthe candidate of _thb electors , while the choice of the non-electors serves but to _amuso him . The hands held up to-day are struck down and paralysed by the votes registered on the monw . New , so it , is with theLords . Weaffirm , aswehavefreguc ' _ntlyasserted that Stanley will lead on the old dukes and the young hereditary peers against the great captain and his

      confiding fogies , and that they will either throw the measure out , so damage it that the Commons must reject it , or keep it suspended in debate until frig htened by the prospect of a bad harvest and actual famine , or emboldened by the prospect of a good harvest , and the cry tlut the famine spoken of as existing months ago has not yet arrived . The abandonment of theskirmishing fight by the Protectionists in the Commons was rather a part of their tactics than any proof of their acquiescence in any portion of the measure . However , end as the controversy may between Peers and Commoners , Protectionists and Free-Traders , Monopolists and an ti-Monopolists , we now , with nearly two months' experience furnished by the debate before us , and strengthened by the manly exposure of Mr . Duncombe in the Ilouse of Commons on Friday last , assert confidently that for every shilling saved to the workman in the price of lourteen

      produce , pence will be stolen from him in the shape of reduced wages , if labour does not intcri u me' _Now " Wuat _ktUe P roof t ' iat Mr - Dun _* combe has given , and we here insert it in large type , full , whole , and entire , in order that every working man in the kingdom should preserve it as the index pointing to his share of the promised blessings lrom extended trade and unfettered speculation : — " Mr . Duncombe called the attention of the house to the article of bronze powder , which was much used as a raw material in the process of paper-staiiiiug , and observed that it was greatly desired by the paper-stainers that this article should come in duty free . The master paper-stainers , it had been represented to him , Avcre determined that , by the reduction ofthe duty on stained paper , tlie loss , if any , should not fall upon them , and they told then * workmen so . He had been informed that , in

      one case , an extensive employer was holding back a fifth ofthe men ' s wages till this question was settled . "Now , he held it to be very unfaii- towards tbe workmen that all the loss should fall upon them . The masters said they were not able to compete with the foreign paper-stainers , who , in addition to other advantages , paid no excise duty upon the article . He wished to ask the right hon . baronet if he would not remit the whole of the protective duties upon bronze powder and pigments 1 " Now , lest any man may suppose that Mr . Duncombe's statement was a mere repetition ot an unfounded assertion made by the men , let us hear what Sir George Clerk , the minister who manages the Trade Department , says in reply to Mr . Duncombe : — Sir George Clerk had had an interview with a deputation of paper-stainers a 1 ' bw days ago , when they made statements similar to those put forward hy tbe hon .

      gentleman . Let the working men well consider this subject . We have now for many , many years written and spoken upon it , and we are not prepared to retract a sentence that we have uttered , but , on the contrary we now repeat that free trade , if not accompanied by such measures as the working classes can now enforce from divided faction , will lead , firstly , to poverty , dependence , and degradation , and then to revolution , distraction , destruction , and strife . The people now have everything in their power : let the free trade chain be quietly rivetted upon them once , and they are powerless , except through revolution . Labour must have its Parliament , or labour must succumb to the Parliament of capitalists .

      A Nick Mas for a Small _Partt . —Ignorance of the working classes is the great cause assigned for withholding the franchise from them . No value is attached to the knowledge of building a house or furnishing it and decorating it—no importance is attached to feeding , clothing , warming , and in every way sustaining its idle inmates ; no importance is attached to the performance of those several works which , if not performed by the industrious , the ignorant wealthy would starve and die . If we are to look for knowledge anywhere , surely it is within the precincts of the court , and in the neighbourhood of Eton College , and from the first magistrate of Windsor—he has the opportunity of picking up a bit of " larmsg , " and even a smattering of Latin , from the young gentlemen of Eton : and now let us see how

      far this important officer is gifted with that important thing called knowledge . Last week he presided at an election for the borough , and the fight being all upon one side , he had no opportunity of displaying his partiality for the court candidate . When the proceedings were over , a vote of thanks , as is usual in such cases , was proposed to his worship the mayor , when , in reply , the first magistrate of "W indsor said , * ' 1 am sure I have every reason to be grateful to those honourable gentlemen who have so cordially drank my health . ( Three cheers , and 'Long life to you ! _' ) Yes , he repeated it . He was unaccustomed to public speaking , and had his health so often drunk at small tea-parties , that he thought tbe present was a repetition of the many such compliments that had been paid to him . " What would be said of a Chartist thatdidn ' _tknowthedifferencelietween an election

      and a tea-party ? We can furnish but one parallel for this case of ignorance . Amongst military men , "General Breezo" is a favourite toast , and means " the glass . " A very ignorant Irish middleman , who was appointed to the commission of the peace , but who couldn't write his own name , by some accident or other was invited to dine at the mess of a regiment whose officers he had allowed to sport over his grounds . After the usual catalogue of toasts was exhausted , the commanding officer said , " Come , gentlemen , I'll give you ' General Breezo ! '" " Aye , d n it , " exclaimed tho middleman justice , starting to his feet , "I'll drink that fellow ' s health ; that's the fellow that saved us from Boney , though I forget where he signalised himself . "

      O'Consbll and the Welsh _Martyrs . —Wc have received several letters inquiring whether or no it is true that Mr . 0 _'C _^ nnell pledged himself to vote for the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones . Yes , it is quite true that he pledged himself to Mr . Duncombe to vote for the motion , and yet that neither he nor a single joint of his tail , although they were all in the house nearly up to the hour of the division , voted for it . This is too bad , and made apparently more galling to us by the fact that on the very day of that division we paid £ 117 s . Cd . expenses , incurred by getting up the Covent Garden demonstration , on the 1 st of July , on behalf of O'Connell and the other Irish prisoners ; but we richly deserve it for resting any hope on such rotten reeds .

      Russell and inn Wnros . —There remains not a shadow of doubt that Russell ' s motion , to be brought on after Easter , relative to the state of Ireland , is intended as a feeler for power , lt is always after Easter that the " sessional battle" really commences ; it is after Easter that we shall have the bidding for public favour ; it is after Easter that we should contrive to have our flock ready to exhibit ia the best possible state . Again , we repeat that no Chartist constituency will have to pay more than the travelling expenses of their delegates ; and that , therefore , it is the bounden duty of every constituency to be prepared , without delay , with a delegate ready for the emergency , and the Executive will issue their instructions in time , as to the number to constitute the Convention and the places from whence delegates are to come .

      Trade . —From the several manufacturing districts the trade reports arc more awful , in consequence of the anticipated future , than even from the present depression . From Bradford , we learn that an immense quantity of machinery is idle , while hands are unemployed , prices looking down , and speculators cautious . In Manchester , the masters are so anxious to have the first shot at free trade , that most of the building trades have been compelled ta strike . We may be told that . thoy have struck , not against a reduction of wages , but for increased wages . So they ought!—that is the most

      legitimate of all strikes . The masters have entered into extensive contracts , which Feel ' s tariff will enable them to complete much below the estimate at which they have taken them ; and as labour is the important material in all such contracts , why , we slioujd be glad to know , should it not have its share in the benefits of free trade ? Will the contractors offer their employers a drawback upon the estimated sum ? Will they say— " I contracted for £ 1500 when prices were so-and-so—I now find that I can execute the work at £ 201 ) under that amount , and 1 will give you the beuefit of the reduction ? " Not a bit of it . They will persuade the employer that the proposed

      tariff has actually thrown impediments in their way . Now , we will give the Manchester trades a little counsel : tliey should only strike in cases where specific agreements for the performance of the work at a certain time exist , and then , not to allow the masters to have all the talk at , their side , they should send a respectful deputation to the person for whom the contract was undertaken , and state their case , requesting him not to grant an extension of time . It was by the government aiding Pcto and Grissell in this way , that enabled them to beat their hands ; whereas , if kept to the performance of the contract , the men would have triumphed .

      Corn Tradk . —Notwithstanding the continuous attempts of the free traders , the tender-hearted millers cannot be induced to purchase beyond the hand to mouth supply . Indian corn ia coming in wholesale , and _eycry quarter of Indian corn that comes , iu

      stonds as a competitor to every home-grown quarter of wheat . . We may be told , that bread made from Indian corn is not as good as bread made from wheaten flour ; we admit it . NeijhM is salt pork as good as roast beef , and yet , iftfflfeice of salt pork was twopence a pound , the priceWbeef would becommensurately reduced . Fish is neither beef nor mutton , and yet , when fish is very plenty and very cheap , it is made a substitute for beef and mutton . It is singular , however , that the reduced price of wheat has not had the effect of commensurately reducing the price of bread . We are sorry to be obliged to recur to our old lessons ; but we have often told the workinc-elasaes that no Parliamentary _relation willMgulite the retail price of the W _011 K 1 NG MAN'HLOAF .

      This London Tailors asd their Employers . — More of the blessings of free trade , with uncontrolled power in the hands of capitalists , are being daily exhibited in the tailoring department . The masters have reduced wages by nincpenee in every two shillings , or about thirty-live per cent . ; while they are _alsoactually _overholding work in expectation of cheap food making still cheaper wages . Again , wc ask , if it is not time for labour ' s parliament to assemble in the metropolis , and for labour to have a mighty demonstration after its day ' s toil , to enforce such TIMELY CONCESSION as the necessity of the times demand ? We are even fearful that labour will again allow its hour of triumph to pass .

      Mosey and Shake Market . —These twin devils are still suspended between hope and fear . The hope of free trade , and the fear of war keeps up such a Stock Exchange fever , as to make it impossible for the speculators to operate without considerable risk ; and the Times , as is its custom , is playing fast and loose with the war question . Shares are , and have been for some time , at a stand-still , and the funds are looKingdown .

      IRELAND . Famih ** _jmo Pestilence . —These are the Insn twins , and are gaining daily strength . Wecai . not much rely upon the interested information we receive from the patriots or the free traders , while we give with sorrow the following extract from a letter received from a relation of our own : — " As to the seed potatoes you write for , you cannot form the least idea of the difficulty in getting them hero , or of _theshocl * ing state of distress that threatens us . Two Neapolitan vessels , laden with potatoes , hare put into Cork , and many GENTLEMEN are actually purchasing them at 8 d . a stone , in expectation that the demand for seed will increase the price , and give

      them a profit . All those families who used to teed their servants partly upon potatoes have now , one and all , been obliged to substitute bread ; in fact , the newspapers convey but a very slight notion of the present state of the country , and the much worse state that , threatens us . Seed potatoes that used to be fourpence a weight for good ones , are now selling for a shilling a weight for bad ones . "—Would not the English Chartists be represented by the Conciliation llall patriots as savages and monsters if , under such circumstances , they resisted what even PROMISES TO BE A BENEFIT ? Depend upon it , the Chartists are right in not resisting free trade , and are just as right in resolving to have their full share of any benefit that accrues from it .

      Coercion . —We are not , on the first day of the week , in a sufficiently amiable temper to write upon a law which subjects the Irishman who shall be found out of his house an hour before sunset , to transportation for fifteen years ; but this we will say—Oh ! that the Irish people had the Polish leaders , or that the Polish L _aders bad the Irish people ! This is not only a damnable bill , but an infernal , rascally , bloodthirsty , rebelious bill . Murders i . v Ireland . —While the Times is labouring hard at its beastly vocation to bring Ireland and the Irish priesthood into odium and contempt , we will here relate an anecdote , which bespeaks the Irish feeling as to what murder really is . Some few years ago , an English capitalist purchnsedan estate in the . county of Tipperary , and proceeded by the Cork coach to Cashel to take possession . A respectable old dame , a fixture , had been in the habit of attending ; the _Bassencers while at tea . The

      purchaser" had heard several conversations in the coach as to the disturbed state of Tipperary , and the numerous murders that were said to be committed there . When the passengers had started , the stranger said to the dame , " Pray , my good woman , is it true that there are so many murders committed in this country ? " " Wisha then , my God , who tould your honour the like of that ? Sure , then , the devil a murder is ever committed here ; and I'll engage but that there ' s not quieter boys nor the Tipperary boys . " " Well , but I understand that they murder their landlords and the proctors here frequently . " " Oh , wisha , is it them sort ? Yea , them , to be sure , they knocks the brains out of them _landmarks and tlieiu tithe _deyils now and then ; and how can the _craythurs help it ? Sure , when the devil cr ever they'll let them alone , but worrying them and harassing them , and driving them out of their lives ; but I declare to God the wonder is that they lets one of them sort live at all . "

      FOREIGN . America . —It appears that the Cambria mail packet set off with one side ofthe naestion , and only brought half mails—the peaceable halves—while , somehow or other , the warlike halves have been smuggled in ; and it appears , after all the pacific declarations , that we are to have war . Indeed , the activity recently _displayed at our dockyards leaves not a shadow of doubt upon the subject , and , as we stated five months ago , the first announcement that the nation will receive from Sir Robert Peel will be something like the celebrated declaration of Mr . Canning , " that three war ships are now on their way to chastise Jonathan and to assert ova rigut to tiio Oregon territory ; " but Jonathan remembers the old story , — " Catch a weazel asleep , and shave his eyebrow . "

      Poland—The tyrants have not yet succeeded in subduing the rebellion of the natives against their tyrant usurpers ; and , however the unholy triple alliance may remain in quiet possession of Cracow , we hope and trust that the attempt at national regeneration now spreading throughout the land will be ultimately successful ; and , should it even fail now , we trust that a universal , not a mere national association , will be established , entitled Poland ' s regeneration _societv , and that the work will go ou incessantly , until the great object of Poland ' s regeneration is accomplished

      TUESDAV . Legislation . —The variety of our legislation must be amusing to foreigners ; we read ot" railways and fever in Ireland , coercion and paper-staining , Irish Arms Act and horrors of the Poor Law Amendment Bill , murders of rich individuals , and of thousands ol poor but unprotected Irishmen , almost in the same breath ; and eager as the new school of political economists may be to inculcate the doctrine of buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market , ol the glorious spirit of rivalry and speculation , and ol the honest reward of commercial industry , we never can , and never will , enter into the philosophical consideration of those circumstances which create a class ofoverwealthy , gorging oppressors , and a class

      of stunted , famishing oppressed . We will continue to preach the doctrine , because we entertain it , that no idler iias a right to his dinner until every man who is willing to work for one has had a good oue . The righteous rules of nature have been wholly subverted _. It is cruel , nay , it is unchristian , immoral , and we will add illegal , to see fox-hunting idlers and voluptuous pleasure-hunters _mockin- ; honest poverty , and making the disparity between tlie idle and the _industrious so gnllingly striking to the latter . There is no great branch of our glorious institutions , whether in Church or State , that does not cost more money than the feeding of all the poor in England . It may be considered prosy in us , but wo will repeat it until we convince evory man of its truth , that one idler in each parish has a much

      larger income than is allowed for the maintenance ol the remainder of the inhabitants ; that the Church property alone , if laid out in the purchase ol lands for the . people , would locate five millions upon two acres each—that is , would support in affluence and comfort hard upon doubleourpopulation—TWENl'YF 1 VE MILLIONS—and spent as it is now , it produces brothels , incest , immorality , ignorance , deception , infidelity , hypocrisy , indecency , uncharitableness , lewdness , drunkenness , strife , debauchery , rape , rapine , and murder ; in fact , the State Church ot England is the mother of all mischief and the father of all crime , and we will gladly join in the establishment of an Anti-Church League , or , lest that might sound as heterodoxy in the ears of the ignorant , an Anti-Titlio League .

      Ihe Army . —To follow on this subject , there is paid for the support of an insolent , idle soldiery , as much annually as would locate four million heads of families upon two acres each of the best land in England—that is , twenty millions of human beings could live happily , and furnish a mora extensive market than the world now presents to tho manufacturing interest as customers ; but then , oh than , the devil" wages" steps in , and they discover that if a man knew the value of liis free labour , to make profit , they should work all by inanimate machinery . "Veil , be ic so . Me now lay down a principle which we defy mortal man to upset—it is the very opposite of free ' trade , it is total prohibition of every single article produced by native industry , provided the free labour market was opon to that industry . __ Now , we'll explain . If even one million heads ot families were

      located upon land on lease forever , wo would rejoice to see nothing used except what was produced at home—that is , as a staple . W c should wish to see a total prohibition against all manufactures , and we should not object then to see machinery __ Hying away for twenty-four hours a day for six days in the week ; and we pledge ourselves , with these increased facilities of production , that its produce would be treble its present amount , in _consequence of the increased ability of the free Is . tourers tn purchase it . Of course , we would not ieny admissiou to articles oi luxury , or to tho inipunaiOn of such articles as English industry , the Englisn climate , or English soil could not furnish ; while , if a fair chance was given to these , the exceptions would be rave and tew . The fact is , that man , nut so much in ignorance lis 114 consequence of active engagement in existing pur-

      _suit 8 , fanciesthatwhat he lsenjoymg isa blessmg , and that he enjoys it in the only mode in which it . could be enjoyed , but he never thinks of valuable substitutes : thus , thirty years ago , if a man was told that he never again should havea candle in his house , he would fancy himself condemned to eternal darkness ; but gas now furnishes a very good substitute . So , with regard to travelling—if at the same period a man was told that he should never again go from London to Birmingham on foot or by horse power , ho would despair of seeing Birmingham during his natural life . The same may be said of steam navigation , the printing-press , and all the operations now performed by steam . Well , then , we use the argument to show that there is not half that value in existing

      institutions and things which ignorance attaches to them . Wo are now only speaking of this new theory ; but , with Gods blessing , before this day twelvemonths , wc will turuish a practical illustration of it , and before this day live years , whatever may be the result of feel s measures , and however necessary thev may be in the present state of Ireland , we shall have a Parliament _repregcntingacompleteJy new state of ' _thinj-s , a new . country , and a new mind , capable of _forcimnew opinions upon new men . D The _Navv . —The same may be said of this glorious branch of the nation ' s pride . The annual amount spent upon this department , _maintainod for the sole purpose of being insolent to foreigners and bullying the natives , would also locate four million heads of

      families , or twenty million individuals upon the land . The London Pouch . —The money paid annually to these skull-cracking ruffians , these kitchen spies and pimps , would locate two hundred thousand heads of families upon the land , or one million of human beings ; and , in all cases , we estimate the land at a pound au acre . Is this a Christian country , then ? is this a civilised country , when a church , an army , and a navy receive as much annually as would pay a pound au acre for twenty-six million acres of laud , * and which , at two acres to a family , would locate thirteen million heads of families , aud at live to a family , would maintain sixty-live millions of a population in peace , comfort , and _happim-ss , and make ihotu actual competitors for all that our present _amount of machinery could produce ? And yet these Malthusians tell us that the land is _over-populated , and that the restriction on commerce acts injuriously to the working classes . Bother !—let labour

      protect itse . f , and England in three years would be the finest country in the world , EXCEPT IRELAND . Now , this may not bo _considered as a legitimate summary of tho week ' s news ; but we contend that it is the most _legitimate summary , because it ia a complete answer to the horrible blasphemy preached on Monday night in the ilouse of Commons . Moreover , it is precisely that description of news that we wish the working men to ,. _uiidei-staiid , because thoy must be acquainted with their degraded position , their power to elevate themselves , and the butter prospect' which present themselves from their union . Tins Law . —We estimate , the money expended in this department , much belowits real figure , at twenty millions per annum , not a farthing of which would benecessary iu a well-regulated state of society ; and this amount , at two acres to a family , would locate ten million heads oi" families , or a population of fifty millions , upon the land .

      _I jijj National _Diiir . —The interest paid upon this debt , incurred for the preservation ol Church and State ascendancy , would locate fourteen million heads of families upon two acres each , or a population oi seventy millions , Now , those are all cruelties which injustice imposes upon the working classes ; and , as they have been severally perused , we ' make no doubt that many a reader has said , "Eh , but it ' s true ;" aud "but it ' s shocking , " and " 1 never knew it before . " Now , see what labour imposes upou itself . Drunkenness . —This item far surpasses all other * put together in amount , in injustice , and in sad result _. In amount , because it exceeds the others ; in injustice , because here drunken , dissipated labour preys upon sober , virtuous industry , it is not the

      tyrant that oppresses here , or rather , it is not the irresponsible tyrant—it is the . unnatural tyrant father , that oppresses his wife and children—the unnatural tyrant son , that oppresses his parents aud family ; this is the most unnatural of ajl tyranny . Oh ! that we could _spund one year ' s dissipationmoney upon locating drunkards on the soil ; and we would be satisfied , alter one year ' s _probatitn , to vest the government of the country in their hands ; because they would pass the strongest laws agaiust a vice of which ' they had been the victims ; and because justice must always flow from a representation of the sober mind of the country . We assert , without fear of contradiction , that the majority in the present Ilouse of Commons owe their seats to drunkenness . We know that many readers would rather , see our

      space devoted to murders , rapes , and police news , but this is the very depraved taste that we , seek to destroy . Poor Laws . —The money spent annually in degrading honest poverty amounts to more than eight millions a year ; a Bum that would locate four million heads of families on two acres each , or a population of twenty millions . Now , is not this a sad but true picture of the present condition of England ; and will not our friends bear in mind , that in November , 1835 , we told them , that in two years ' , labour could purchase the church proporty of the country ; in live years labour could purchase all the Jand of the country ? And yet , after eleven years , we are obliged thus to commence the A B C of tiiis system uf education for them .

      FOREIGN . America , —The news from America is considered unfavourable by the 'Change banditti , and the Times has the insolence to proclaim the falsehood , that the national mind of England would prefer war with America to any further ( jiving way upon the part of our government . We tell the Times , and we tell the world , that the Northern Star , and the Northern Star alone , speaks the national mind , and that that mind is against war ; but if that war should be considered inevitable to preswveand uphold the league of kings , and their intervention with American policy , that , however the national mind of England may regret the loss of English life in a struggle for monarchical ascendancy , that the English people , in such event , would rejoice in the triumph ofthe Republican army

      over English mercenaries . We tell the Times moro , that the English people , if indeed they constitute any portion of the nation , will neither aid nor assist THEIR GOVERNMENT in a war with America ; but , on the contrary , will present every constitutional passive resistance to such a project . We early foretold that the profligate press of England would make a money-jobbing speculation ol' the American news , and we were right . Poland . —We rejoice to think , that notwithstanding the cold-blooded indifference of the English press with respect to the present glorious struggle by the Poles for the regeneration of their country , that the English mind is about to be aroused to a performance of its duty on behalf of this gallant nation . Today a respectable deputation of foreigners waited upon Mr . O'Connor , to request that he would become treasurer to the

      l'OLAKD RKGBNBRATION FUND . And , however the present struggle for liberty may terminate , it is the intention of a new society ,

      entitled—POLAND S REGENERATION SOCIETY , to continue their labours , in peace or in war , by the publication of tracts , the diffusion of knowledge upon the history of Poland , the brutal tyranny of its oppressors , by public lectures and otherwise , and to keep up and maintain an effective agitation for this glorious purpose , in which every officer , from the highest to the lowest , regardless of labour and danger , will be expected to discharge the duties of thenseveral offices without fee , salary , or reward . It is useless to look to the lords aud ladies , who will only move to Weippert ' s band in the cause of Poland ; tiiey would aliow tiie Polish serfs to hug their chains , it" unrivetting them was calculated to loosen thu English fetters . The hour has arrived when labour must do its own work , and fight its own battles . We rejoico to find that the veterans who are still in exile for endeavouring to give liberty to their own couuiry are yet alive to the cause of Poland , and in proof of which we give the Mowing extract from the French

      press ;—In Paris subscriptions are being raised towards obtaining arms and _riitions for the insurgents of I ' olund . The subscription list includes tho names of many deputies , and amoiij : numerous other subscribers occurs the mime of Arthur O'Connor , so well known lor the pari he played during the rebellion in Ireland .

      WEDNESDAY . The Land . —The most important news of this day , at all events to our readers , is , that the auctioneer who sold the property that wc purchased for £ 1 , S 60 on Friday week , has just called to offer us TWO

      THOUSAND POUNDS FOR THE PURCHASE , meaning , we have no doubt , if we expressed a desire to sell , to make it two thousand five hundred . However , we will estimate our day's work merely at the £ 140 profit , and we will ask whoever returned so much to the people ' s exchequer in one day ? Had he offered tlie £ 2 , 500 wc should have rejected it ; so that we may calculate that wc have done a good day ' s work lor " our friends . What will the brawlers say to this _? Will they now continue to din into our ears the folly of the Chartists not being able to buy land with money as cheap as other people ? We continue to receive , paokages of letters congratulating us upon the first purchase of land for the people . We hope by _noxt Saturday , the 28 th of March , to be able to astonish the weak minds of those who foreboded such evil things of our regeneration society .

      Ko A ' _otk ! ko Musket !!—At length the people avc beginning to take up the ant ' i-nuUim _question , as will be seen by our subscription list of this week . As Mr .

      IRELAND . Bryan Skert . —It will be seen with _plensurt thafc the English people are resolved that the widow and orphans of this murdered man shall not starve . There was a letter in . the Times vf Saturday , _sijaied "K . M ,, " which we take to mean REAL MURDERER , to which we shah devote more extensive comment , merely observing for the present that a moro gross and scandalous libel upon tiie Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland , and the Irish people , never appeared in print , while the libeller at the same time unintentionally , no doubt , acquits Seery of the murder , and saddles himseJfas an accessory after the fact , and ,

      consequently , is a principal , tor all accessories , iu cases of murder , are principals . The Times , true to its savage calling , is doing more than over the Orange Association attempted—to get up a NO POPERY cry iu England . Not a number that does not teem with palpable falsehood , with lying abuse ofthe Catholic priesthood , and with vituperative denunciation of Ireland and the Irish . The conductors of this journal sent an English special pleader ' to ropottupon the state of Ireland , who actually didn ' t know whether a calf was under his btd or in the street , and hni _» hcd hislabours , as they were intended , by an individual squabble with a _political opponent . We'll meet those fellows once more at Phulipi

      UPON THE HUSTINGS , where we have met them before , and there we will not allow them io separate thtmiselvcs from tlie responsibility of their tools and their _puper . We were willing to forget many of Mr . Waller's sins , and ta wish to see him once more opposing the Poor Law Amendment Act iu tho House ol Commons , but he has cancelled the good he has done by the many libel * he has publishtd against Ireland , the Irish , and their revered priesthoou . That Seery was murdered no man can now doubt , and we shall prove it , even i f all oilier evidence of his innocence was deficient from the pen of thu Meal Murderer .

      Coxciuaiios Hall , —Irish _ignorance ofthe English mind was never more manifest than in the speech of ii Mr . Mitchell , an attorney , who took the chair at the last meeting iu Conciliation Hall . In speaking of the _rraietf ' abuseol'Mi ' . O'Brien , this attorney says , '' _itis uu index oi the _Englishfeeling towards Ireland . " Now , he knows no more of the English mind than u hedgehog kuows of theology , but he did know that a part of the tactics of Conciliation Hall is to keep ; the Irish mind in a state ofigtiorui . ee a * to English _, feeling . If he knows anything , he might have kuowi > that the English people actually feil more-lor . the Irish than they do lor themselves , aud that " they have beslirreu themselves more on Irish than on English subjects . Where , we would ask , were the patriots while poor Seery was being legally murdered , and while _theiWrt / itrn Star was proclaiming , that if he was tried a second time he would be murdered ? What have tliey done for the victim ' s lainily 'i

      Mr . _drattan said , " that the present policy of the English press was to hunt down all who struggled for Irish nationality . " Now , we tell Mr . Grattau that the policy of the Irish patriots is to hunt down all who fight the battle of Ireland otherwise than by obtaining scats in Parliament and screwing money out ol the starving Irish . The Northtru Stur has dona more for Irish liberty than the whole ot the Irish press put together , anil Mr . Grattau knows this : but lie owes his return for ihe county of Meath to the suppression ofthe fact , and the withholding from the Irish the real state of English feeling . We don't know what _business these men can possibly have to talk about what they are culpably ignorant of , or towithhold knowledge that would be serviceable to the Irish .

      Coercion . —f he patriots are now wrath about the Coercion Bill ; while , the moment it was mentioned in the Queen's speech , we invited them to come to _« England to defeat the minister who dared to propose it . We new tell the people of Ireland ,, that if the Coercion Bill increases the Repeal rent , every patriot who lives upon it will bless it in his heart ; but , thank God , the Irish people will have an opportunity of having it denounced from the altar one day is every week 'Ihe Rent for the week , including £ 100 from New York , amounted to £ 249 . This sum would buy twelve acres and a half of excellent land , for ever , for the widow Seery and her family . We beg to move that it be appropriated to that purpose , if any patriot at Conciliation Hall will second the motion .

      Indian Corn. The Importation Ot Indian O...

      INDIAN CORN . The importation ot Indian Ourn , _iv _' iic _' i is going on both _, in England and Ireland , will prove of little service in alleviating the wants ot tlie poor , unless tliey be informed of tlie best methods of _preparing it tor food . This information it is now in our power to afford ; the lollowiug receipts having been kindly forwarded to us from North . America , Indian torn when ground makes excellent gruel , prepared iu the same way as oatmeal gruel ; aud what is . called mush , is the same tiling as Lancashire oatmeal porridge ; but it is necessary in making this , that it bu very well boiled . In summer it ia eateu sold and is very much _, liked . Treacle may be daten with this . Indian meal _, is considered a great improvement either in wbite or brown bread ; about one third of Indian meal should be mixed with wheaten flour ; this is _espeehi . ly _advantageous in case of the Hour buini ; damaged bv wet .

      Indian bread is excellent , and is made thus : —To a . quart of sour milk , or buttermilk ,, us . much corn meal should bu added as will _makuit into a thick batter ; a little salt , and a _teaspoonlui of carbonate of soda dissolved in water , acts upon the acid , of the buttermilk , and , the effervescence causes the bread to-be light ; a spoonful of eoursu sugar is ail improvement , as is also a little butur or melted lard . This must be baked in vtel greased tins , sufficiently large to allow- the cakes to be about an inch tliiek ;; tbey must be baked in a quick oven . Tliey are best eaten hot , but arc very good eolu . Treacle is excellent with these . Ilium tour milk cannot be _pro-CHred , fresh milk may be substituted , adding a table spoonful of vinegar ; but the carbonate of soda must not be stirred in until just before putting into the oven . Another way of making thr * bread is topour boiling sweet milk over the meal , and when cool , add three _uggs and a > little salt .

      What is called Indian _Sla _^ Iacb would very available in those parts ot Great Britain where girdle _cakus and bread uf that description , is us d . They are very excellent and are thus made : —Scald a quart of Indian _, meal ; when lukewarm add a lew ' spoonfuls of wheaten . ( lour , bait a fetucup full of yeast , and a little salt , and when sufficiently risen bake them ou a well-greased bakestone . They are be & _Veuttn hot . Another wny , and the most approved here , is to mix about half the meal into boiling milk and water ; . when , cool , stir in the remainder of the meal so as to make a thick batter , mixing in two or three spoonfuls of flour , three vggs , and two . tea-spoonfuls of salt .

      lo make Johnny . Cakes —Scald a quart of Indian , meal with a sufficient quantity of water to make it into a . thick batter ; stir in two or . thrue spuonfuk ol salt ; mould it in tlie linnd into small calces _^ rubbing a good deal oC Hour in the hand , io _yucvcui . _ilu-m sticking .
