True , I waB a _special constable , not through choice , but compulsion . 1 am one of that numerous class who acknowledge the Chattel In principle , but are compelled , at present , to remain on neutral _ground . Aad why ? I haye a family dependent on me—looking up to mo for food and support . Thoy have thnt _foed aod support now ; but , were I openly to
avow my feelings , I should lose my situation , and they would loeso their bread . Therefore , I , ' with many otherp , are _compelled to hoist false colours .

TIIE MIDDLE CLASSES AND THE CHARTER . TO F . O ' CONNOB , ESQ , M . P . Sib , —With heart-felt feelings I eincerely congratulate you oh the great moral and political triumph , achieved by that great cause of which yon are thu tried , the worthy leader , in the events which transpired on Mon . day , April 10 th . As to the ultimate success und adoption ofthe _principles of the People ' s Charter , they are now no _longer , in my mind , felt as the secret , yet unhoped for , yearnings of by-gone years ; but I feel thc full conviotion of thtir fruition , in a coming , a not fardistant , future .
Although not an enrolled member of tho Chartist body , yet my warmest sympathies have ever boen with them and their principles . An impression has gone forth , that the middle classes of this country are politically opposed to Chartism , Now , I think that there are thousands who , like _rayjelf , in their hearts falls concur iu all its principles , but , from adventitious _circumstances , are compelled to put on the mask of apathy , distrust , or dislike . Thera are few of tho middle classes _efeuclety who aro not , direotly or indirectly , influenced by thu power ofthe aristocracy . Tho daughters of tho middle classes , arc thoy not the ill-used , tbe _badlj-riquitrd instructresses of the children oftho great , their personal attendants , the pale . eyed fashioners of their _rsbes and their gaudery ? Tbeir sons , aro they not the drudges of the public offices ! D * they not hold the situations aot strictly menial , In lhe establishments of tho great Ior hold tho position of professional men at tho bar the church , or vs . medicine ?

br ; tig them more or less under tho patronage , and , const quontly , under thei power aud influence of the nobl . i'y ! ¦ ' For example . ' I hold the responsible situation of secretary to a nobleman _* . f the highest distinction . Did any one wish to ruin » ae wiih him , my enemy need only to _wKUper to my employer , 'That man is at heart a Chartist , ' end my dismissal would follow , as a matter of conrse . And ye } , to my own knowledge , the sapient nobleman I serve , is . as ignorant of tho principles and _thedomaudB of _thei'Chartists , _« 8 I am of thecinstitation and laws of _L'lllfiut . Thus , I believe , that a ma . jority ol the _middUelassos are in favour of tho People ' s Chart » r , but , _Irom-clrcumstances , in the majority of cases such as I have _defiled , they dare not avow it .
As a partial _obsfrrer of the occurrences of Monday , the 18 tb , I could not but observe , with _feelings of indignation the conduct of the police towards the people at the foot of _BluoWriars Bridge . Tke newspapers of _Tuesday , the llth ,-report 'Shower * of large stones were evory few minutec , thrown on the bridge . ' _Tiiey wera so but who first commenced throwing the stones 1 It t * a < tbe police _tberaselves , who first hurled them at tho people , and also at the special constables , in order to pr . ivoke a _brcash of the peace . The people _repeated ibo attack , and then the police commenced a most _fu-dous out indiscriminate attack with their batons , Tbis saw I with my o « n , eyes .
The police did ; not relish tho duty they were engaged In , from two motives . They were j -alous of the specials ; and it was well known to tbem that numbers of _ftolditH hud declared tbat , if they were ordered to fire , th * police had bettor take care of tkemiolves . Then is a natural antipathy between the red coats und the men in blue Soldiers do not like _tshave _besn made amenable t' ? the civil . powers , and they owe the police a _grudge , _Wilich they will assuredly pay oh the first opportunity . With _runowed wishes uf success to lhat Rroat and holy cause " hieh , like . soma huge wave , will shortly _overwhelm with its mighty force , and _swee ;* away forever , all the fecu _' _eoees of political filth ani corruption , I am sir , your sincere wel :. wisher , A Chabiist at Heart .

TO THB EDITOR OF THE _rTORTHKBtl STAR , Sis , —Wbati .-vei- may be tha _ultituRts result of tke _movasieat which has been made during tha past for ' - tilaht , thr iughout the country , it appears very obvious to me , that all these _dimoostratiotiB of popular f . _eliDg and _enthusiasm will _drivs _gorernvaout to accede in the mean time so far to the wishes of ihe poople , as to yield to them some portion of their rights . The bribe which Lord John _Russe' 1 will effor , as most _acceptable ia tbe eyes of the _liberal portion of the House of Commons , ( who at pres-nt _threaten to _dtBert him ) will be an extension of the _s-. ffrag _« , probably to holders of a five pound qualification , and an _attenjpt will thus be made similar to that o : 1832 , to stop tba mouths ofthe people with a miserable half measure of jus ice , which , practically , will still _( _iclutta the large _bofly of tke working classes from havlog a voice in the _rcpreacnration .
Though sueh a measurs may satisfy tba coalition which , tor party purposes , _hsB just been formed under the auspices sf Messrs Hume and Cobden , the people , if they have any faith at all ia the _principle of the Charter , muBtunequWocftlly ond _determinedly sot thoir faces _against it , and there » ro many _reasons for doing so . Fir . t : If they believe that political equality is every _itimi'i birthright , th _^ n any measure whicii bears the _charai . tar of a gif i from _thosa who for centuries _huva _profited by a monopoly of political privileges , or whioh does not concede the whole rights of tbe people on tho l » road ground of justice 4 * _IneotiRistent with aud violates the first principles of the Charter , Second : Sach a _measure will withdraw from the causa of the people , and throw Into the ranks of the monopolists the large number coming
unc _tr such _propvrty qurilifieati n ; who , the moment _thiy possess political _ImpfittttHco and power themselves , will grow lukewarm in agitating for the _txtension ol similar _powern and privileges to their less fortunate fel ! i «' _. v men . Third : Such a m & asuro , unaccompanied hy Tote by _Bsl . ' ot . only enlarges the a ' reaiy wide field of bribi ry , and the v « y abuses which must flow trom thu _cxircise of tbo extended franchise , will bs hold up as a powerful argument against the universality of that franchise . Fourth : Such a mea ? ure is a stumbling _bloslt in th . j path of the Chartsr ; for by uitbdranmg tha utti ntion of he people from tha glorious suh of _liberry whieh _jriliis _tNo I orizon . and filing ic upon au artificial and painted representation of the _Goddess , tbo impetus which hi r car has rem ived _, in these _rfvolutionaty times ,

TRADES' UNIONS ILLEGAL—HUME'S ACT REPEALED .
TO THE EDITOB OF THE NORTHERN STAB , Sib , —Tho heading of this letter may , to many of yonr _rsadtrs , appear _aRtoundini ' _, nnd some will likely _enough turn to tho debates in _Piir . iumtnt to ascertain who brought up the motion ; but _instead of looking to tho south the readtrs of the Stab will have to look to the noroh . Thero has ibis great feat been _scojomplished . Tho Inverness Courier of tho 21 st March contains nearly f .. ur column" of the report of a trial in the SVev _' iff Court , at Inverness , which , It seems , lasted thirteen ' jours . From the report , it would appear tbe boot and shoemakers in Inverness had some time ago formed themselves into a union for the protection of tbeir wages , nnd the supporting each other in _Bickniss
and at death . Ono of their laws inflicted a fine on any member who should be found to have defrauded his employer , and the whsle of their laws appeur to have been framed with caro , nnd as much in favour of master as workmen ; and it is proven at the trial that somo ofthe masters took an active part In gettisgup thc society , nnd _concocting its rulos . One of the rules was to the * effeit ' that cutters or foremen should not do the work of _journeymc-n iu the shop , ' as the doing such work wmld prevent thc journeymen from getting a fair share of the work . Another rule was , ' tbat socieiy men would not work along with _non-society m ; n . ' As theBe two rules appear to bave led to the dispute , trial , and conviction It is needless to quote further from the rules which are altogether ihe most moderate rules I have _sem
About tho Srd November , a deputation from the Journeymen's Society called on one of their employers , and requested he would couse io give tho making or closing of boots to one of bis for . men employed iu ' the fhop _, as auch was against thd rules . With this ' demand of the journeymen the masters compl y , but immediately lodge information with the Procurator Fiscal that they were intimadated to do so , least their men should strike , Ahout tho _Piuno timo , a _deputation ofthe _workman ore sent to another _employer ( who was in tho habit of _importing _cbt op shoes from tho eastern district of Glasgow snd other places ) and intimated that they would in future rofuso to cobMe or mend the work so " imported . The employer in this case also pretends _tohnvocnmplied _butlodgi-s information that ho was intimidated into a _compliance least his men should strike , A corking _journeyman U not to glva information fo lhe _Piseal _, that he lud been dismissed from a shop , beeause he was in arrears to the union .
Five ef tho leaders of the union are immediately apprehended , and after lying a considerable {' me in prison their trial was brought on on tha 14 th ult . Not even an attempt is made on the trial to _prora thc sli ghtest _tiVreat of violence in any of tho cases , _sii-hex _gainst _gerson « r

property . Nay , the whole of the witnesses for the croww swore that there was no other tbmt used tut tbat thh workmen , after finishing tho work they had on handdl would leave tbe _employment _. It has always been-understood hy Unionists , ond soma" ! of the highest authorities of the lan . _l , tbat _workmena were entitled to combine , and if tbey thnKght proper tooi strike work , providing they made uso of no threat ; ningg ; _lsnguage so ns to _iRtimidata others Mtl-. er to join ihtlrii union ot strike . We believe it w » i _Lor . l Cockburn whooi tried Reid , the cotton spinn-r , In Glasgow , in 1837 ; anddl In turning to that trial , It will be found that his _lordshippi In passing _sentence , said that workmen had a p _? _rftcfct right to _oombiar , not only to combine , but to strikee work , ta obtain their point ; bnt tbey had no rLht too :
say to others you muBt combine , or you must _otr-iko also , ! , Repeatedly have the _Shisriff * cf LMi & _rkahlrevnade similarr statements from the bench . Baron R dfe , as judge inn the trials tbat took place after ths turn out in 1842 , andi in the more recent Warrington ca ? e , reiterated the eame _^ v but to tho honour of a Whig government it has beena reserved f . _< r them to upset the judges' enlightened opi ,. alone on th « right of the _Trorkmm to onibine . ' Re « , pented _trials , uoder _Hame'ii act , have taken place iai different parts of Scotland , and in every case whore J cither threats of compulsion or violence were used , thes parties were subjected t _» punishment , snd that , t 09-without the _depute-adrocate for the crown stooping bo * low as appearing in a common sheriff ' s court , that _hioi appearanoe there might carry with it all the weight of E
being backed by the crown . Oce would havo thoughts the Lord Adrocare would in these t _' _mss of trouble bad ! other and more important work for his _depute-advooatei than sending him all the way to Inverness for the pur * ¦ pose of obtaining the conviction of five _shoemakers , who > had been guilty of nothing more than is ev _^ ry day prao « _< tised in Edinburgh , Glasgow , and every other place i where unions exist . But it may he said this wag not a quosiion respecting wages , and that tbo _journeyman wero dictating to their _emplujrrs . This I fr / inkly admit _., But in what re » _pest were they dictating ? The employers ! adopt a line of policy towards the men that had a ten- _, denoy , or a supposed _tendeecy , to reduce wages , instead I of _paying ths men an advance according to th ; demand ,, the employers import shoes frora Dublin , BelfOBt , & C ,,
and very likely from France also . Now admitting thei right of capitalists to purchase and import from wbere > tfi _* y Choose , surely the boot and shoemakers hnd an . _equ'ilrigbt to say we will not _tn--nd these Irish aad French shoes . Not one wf rd of evidence tbat the work " _, men said , we will not permit others to mend them . Not : ons word of threatening Is sworn to throughout _thOi whole trial , further , than that if employers persisted in . doing so the men would strike . _wctU , and only In one )) Instance was the word strike used . Previous to this trial ! wc always understood _wprkrnin had a right _n-H only t _©> threaten a strike , hut , if they chooser ! to strike , they wera at liberty to do so . Wa now find tho reverse , and that with a vengeance , too , as the five poor shoemakers nre now _languishing in a felon ' s cell , whepe tbiy wer ©
sentenced for two months . Tour _correspondent is awaro an appeal has in this case bern made t > tbo higher courts and that tho opinion of all the lawyers whs havo boen consulted oa tbe subject Is , that the convicting o £ these men Is unjust ; but where have these- p : or men the means to carry their _esse befere the higher court ! No deputation will In future be safe to go to any employer on any case whatever connected witb wages . ThB right , now esjoyed since 1825 , of working men disposing of their labour to the bast _advantage _hsa _ber-n taken away . Every trade is equally affected by thi ? decision , which I _coDsirl' r as effectually repoals Hume's act as if that act had never had a bung . There is no use in aay union wbere all the power is given merily to _colleot funds and talk over thtir grievances . Suppose a dispute occur
with _engineers , mint-re , _orany of tbeotber trades around , that moment a deputation ie sent to the employer oa aay case ; all he has got to do is ie comply , and t' en turn round and say he was intimidated into a _compliance for fucr of a strike . True , the Times an _6 othei journals » f a like caste say tha peopio of Britain don ' t require any reform , and that there is po fear of a revolution , as action is free in this happy nonntry , where all aro repre _« sented in parliament . Such falt > e language as this is driving the workifig classes every day nearer to an outbreak ; and _naw that the last T _»« _tije of Unionists ' right iB takon _awey by _destrr _> _ylnj ; the power th & y formerly _thought thsy _potsessed through the act referred to , let
each trades' society at once introduce politics into their business , and Htver let a meeting pass without impressing on all the utility of doing all in tteir power to obtain thtir political rights , and then when represented , when _having a say in _making tl » e laws tbey hare , to obey , such a case as the one at Inverness frill bs unheard of . _Lst every union man at _oect put his _sioulder to tha political wheel , aad it will soon bo found to turn in th © right direction . Tour _cotrespondont has b _^ en actively mlied up in union _tffairs tbe last fii ' ietn _ye-jrs , and holds , after the lete decision , it wouli be only waste of time to depend loHg » r on unions _rtdressiKg the wrongs of tbe working classes .

We ftel iqually indignant with your ? elf at any person afflsing _fletitious and obscene _names to that Petition , We feel suro that tbe Chartists of the Uoited Kingdom are too enlightened to have committed themselves in snch a manner ; we _therefore feel assured that it must ! have been done by some government spy or spies , whe _«
_thtr in or out of tbe House cf Commons we leave yoa to infer . ; Sir , as regards the othi > r portion of the _rep-jrt , which has reference to the signatures in tbe sarao hand writing , we admit such to bo the case , but it Is not _truJ that such arc _fljtitious or f irged names . * fi _* asj £ ) _tsined one thousand eight hundred and twenty in ® Is town and neighbourhood , twelve _hendred of which appeared in only three different hand writing ; but wo mh positively assert that cot ono name appeared in that _Pj . tition without thc consent of the proper persons . Vjr ; ous reasons may be assigned why it is so ; very many could not write . We _oblainad many names from our friends In the ceuntry on slips of pnper _, which were Carefully _copiac _* , M * ny more would hnvo signed it but were deterred from doing so , through the _heartless
_tvranny of their aristocratic employers . W _« believe that your opposition is not to ranch to tha s gnatures as to the _pttyer of tbe Petition . Sir , now _ws come to tV . e assault you made npon tho honourable member for Nottingham , Feargus O'Connor , E » q . Ilis private character , notwithstanding tht fi . rc- attack you made upon it , we know to be _unirepeachible . As for his pu > lic character , tho working classes of _tkia country know that he has cover swerved from . _' _-mb duty towards them , and tbey are fully 8 ati : _fk' <' . with fcis untiring exertions ia their _biiialf , therefore wo do _n-it wonder at the opposition be meet' - , with , seeing he _ndroeites our cause against tyranny hnii cl «* s _legislation .

A Hundred Thousand At Kennington. To Tue...
A HUNDRED THOUSAND AT KENNINGTON . TO TUE _EDITOE OF _DOCGLAB JEHEOLD ' 9 NEWSPA PEa , Sik , —Tke misrepresentations made by a member of tho Lower Houso , ' who suted tbat _Kaaningtoa Com » mon could not hold more than ninety thousand persons and that he was convinced that thc highest number assembled thtreon at the late meeting did not exceed 15 , 000 , _couphd with other statements , have induced tre to examine and measure the ground contained within tho fences , and I find it contains lafl 008 f _qimre yards . Now as I know that in a densel y packed _meeting yon msy
_onfely calculate tbat each _equue yaid will , or can , _enntain nine persons , and as that fact msy ba easily proved by numbers of men , women , and children , of varices s zos , placed in a room of three or four squaro yards , it will speedily be seta that K : _tmingU . n Common within the fences can hold a deneely packed mob of 1 , 400 , 000 _pwEOot !; and if tho surreusding roads were also cr ' am . med , the whole area will be f ound canable of holding the whole population of iho Metropolis ! I have , therefore , no hesitation in saying that , from the _represeatatiots made me , there were considerably more than 100 , 000 of all descriptions of persons _assembled oa the late
occasion , I am no Chnrtis _^ , nor am T awcre that I have ever even t _- polten to one ; the treatment , however , experienced . by that body will _inuko me nnd many others see their just complaints in a very different light to what we havo hitherto done . Instead of _rnutting their demands in aa open , fair , and honourable _msnner , it is thought best to oppose them by treachery , _misrepresentation , mid contumely . Thus it ever has been , from the time of tho 'Saviour' down to the present hour , that those who war with bad principles are crucified or persecuted . Tbe
Times acknowled ged that it diuv nothing objectionable ia the six points of ' the Chart-r ; ' neither do I ; although I could wish , as regards 'Suffrage , ' some modification were made . It may do for _trtiitors to jner at the Victoria aud _Snubnosts , Wellington and _PugnoSes , Introduced into the petition , > _ut the very circumstance thereof will aid instead of defeating tte Chartist cause ; and all Impartial _psrsons will at once _sao that the unl _sutpecting _Chartisishava been duped by those whose object it was and is to betray them .
