_TTATKINS'S LEGACY TO THE CHARTISTS . LECTURE n . CONCLUDED . Bat the truth "is , there Bre none of us that do as we would be done by , for , if so , should we see such _rights , would-there be such scenes as appear—as are acted without intermission on this great _stape of knaves aid fools—in this threatre of the world ? "We need not ascend or descend into garrets , or cellars , or dog-holes , those charnel houses of the dying and the dead , where piagce , _pestHence , and famine huddle their victims together ; we need not explore prisons , bastiles ; or _pguitentaries ; nor need we seek in factories or coal _jajnes , —we have only to walk the open streets , at _midday , and at every step we take we shall meet objects to convince us that we do not do unto others as we
would be done by . I will pass along one of the principal thoroughfares of this mighty metropolis—the capital of England—the emporium of tbe world—great _^ wealth , little in worth , magnificent in outward appearance , mean in real character—in a word—London ! 2 see two extremes of wealth and poverty that absolutely meet : they not only co-exist , but they commingle ; : and the wealth is more shameful , more disgusting , more abominable than the poverty ; for there is something very unjust , very revolting , very insulting in luxury when it exists—when it parades itself—when it triumphs in the very presence of the necessity which it contrasts with . If such wealth allow of such poverty , the poverty _ahould not allow of the wealth . There is St . Paul ' s _Cathedral—surrounded and almost smothered
with shops and warehouses—an emblem of religion , befouled and burtbened with the traffic of Mammon ; you are shown the Monument ; and look at the Bhipring in tbe Thames—the carriages in the streets—yes , and I point you to the miserable beings you meet there . See a human creature , a few dirty rags scarcely hide his shrivelled nakedness , bis emaciated arms are folded across his skeleton farm to give it warmth , he is bent with cramps , he shivers with agues—the keen pangs of hunger glare fiercely in his eyes—his appetite ia reduced to tbat of a very dog—he seeks in the gutters for scraps of refuse—he is full of sores , an 4 shames—why is this " ? Answer it ye who have the making of the laws , wbo govern the conntry , who leave us not a will of our own—answer it , ye lords and bishops , who profess to
reverence the very name of God—wbo tell us that man was created in the likeness of God 2 Is this the condition in which yen would behold the image of God ? Tou say that God gave dominion to man over all things—that all things were made for him , and given to him . True , my lords and bishops , but such as yen have robbed bim of all ; and we now frequently behold God ' s image pass along—a pale spectre of reproach to man—perishing with cold and hunger ,, and with no place of rest , not even a pillow for his drooping , his dying head , except the stony step of the door of same vaunted charitable institution barred against him . Tbat man is our brother , and is this doing to eur brother as we would he sheuld be done to J Is it doing as we would be done by ?—for we ought to put
ourselves in his place—to identify ourselves with him , to sympathise with him , to succour him—for , as we would not wish to suffer this , we ahould resolve that neither ahould one of like nature with ourselves be made to suffer so . How many do we meet doing penance for tie crime of poverty , walking barefoot , and bowling as tbey hobble along , " God help me , I am starving . " Hnn-< ireds pass them every minute , hundreds full-fed , fnlldressed , and with their pockets full , but they heed no . their suffering , perishing brethren . Unsophis ticated strangers from the country will stop , will enquire , will wonder , will be softened by pity , will be fired with indignation ; but the town passengers are bent on bnsiness ; on pleasure , on wastefulness , on wantonness and suffer not their attention to be diverted for a
moment to those who have no business , no pleasure , _iwthing to waste , who are in want of alL What a prize a penny would be to them ; but no man gives them anything . There is the Lascar who has been bronzed by the beat of a torrid sun—he finds eur climate cold , but onr hearts axe colder ; a few tatters of his native costume yet flap in tbe wind , and tells too plainly , shews too clearly , that he has not been clothed since be left his far , his foreign soil , and came a stranger to a strange bind . Bo we do unto aim as we would be done by , supposing that we were thus destitute in bis country ? I might go on adducing other instances of individual wretchedness in every variety of formnumbers of deformed , crippled , mutilated objects whom we see in public , but wbo ought to be nowhere seen
but in almshouses , hospitals , or asylums . But I will not weary your patience or render your compassion callous by a vain recital of the wants and woes which are caused by tyrants , who punish ns if we pity and seek to relieve them . I will merely cite a few domestic eases , which nature itself prompts us to relieve—such as of mothers carrying their infants through the streets , and followed by their little ones with naked feet _^ driven from an empty borne , and imploring with hopeless eyes , a little food to keep them alive . Is this tbe fate we would wiah for onr fathers and mothers ? Fathers , who in spite of the Duke's declaration , that all may eat who work , find that those wbo do no work eat aHfor , unable to procure work , tbey have been obliged to to pawn their very tools for bread , and
yet bvek food—mothers who with aching hearts , after parting with every comfort , every convenience , every accommodation for the necessaries of Bfe , after stripping themselves and their homes of all tbe graces of life , of its very decencies , have been compelled to strip their little ones , and sell their tiny article * cf wearing apparel for food—then-as a last resource , have gone forth not with the pride of a mother * * joy , tbe pleasure of a mother ' s love , when she takes her children forth to walk or play : but with the degrading , tbe _distressing , the despairing feelings of a mendicant wbo must exhibit her _offspring xs spectacles of painful pity to excite the compasaien of those whose hearts have been hardened by avarice , who rejoice at the wretchedness which is tbe foil and food of their
splendour . Alas I such children are trained np not in the way tbey ahould go ; but in a way which they would fv" not go—in a way which they are forced to go . Ah , necessity is a vSe thing , and makes villaina of us alL Many mothers wish their daughters may die and not grow up to become tbe victims of tbe suffering bfe of sin that awaits them . Many fathers wish thensons had not been born to be a burthen on them which tbey" cannot support How many little sinless ones innocently wonder why they are made te suffer so much cold and hunger , and with the voice of first nature implore their parents to get them food from the abundance which they see every where around them ? How many parents commit suicide , or destroy their children , or sit in sullen impotency , unaffected by tbe cries of want
which they cannot relieve ? How many groan m spirit under the grinding despotism of the present cursed system—a system made by and for tbe benefit of tbe rich , who do not feel any of these things , and therefore , care for none of them ? It is very well for them , sitting at ease in their possessions , and saying to themselves , " Soul , thou hast much goods laid up for many years , eat , _^ rink , and be merry /'—it is very well for them , not pressed by poverty , not tempted by sin—for them to _prpUmn against the vices of the poor ; but let the rich do an tbey would be done by , and the vices , the ignorance , they so eloquently denounce , would cease , would be known no more . Many honest men are balancing the horrors of starvation on the one hand with the degradation of dishonesty on the other , and
in hopeless helplessness wish for seme swift disease to come and carry them off . Many put themselves into the way of death ; many plnnge into it from a life that has robbed death of all its terrors , a life of pain and frantic woe . The verdict on such victims is self murder ! A be—a cruel lie ; for it is the system-that murders them , and none but tbe supporters of snch a system—the supported by it—would dare to pronounce such a sentence on tbe clay-cold corpse tbat sleeps sound , that smiles for tbe first time ; a sentence that should waken the sleeper , that should make the bloed of the murdered flow afresh , that should recoil on those who would torment tbe soul after killing the body . Ah , the grave ! that is tbe true place of rest for those _^ whom the wicked has made weary ; the grave is tbe only refuge fer the destitute !
Now the knowledge of these thinga , the knowledge that so many instances of this kind have taken place , that so many are now taking place , that so many will take place in future , the knowledge of all this ought to make our blood boll ; ought to fire ua with virtuous indignation ; ought to fill us with fury ; we should burn ; we should be all a flame to redress these things , to stop them , to alter the cursed system tbat causes them . If we wonld not have such things happen to us , we ahould resolve that they shall not happen to others ; we shonld resolve that tbey shall not be ; for while such things are , while tbey are suffered to continue , who shall say , wbieh of us can tell tbat be will not be the next victim ? Save them , then , to save ourselves .
I frequently see in the street of this proud city—and shame on it for showing snch sights ; old men and old women , worn to premature age by ill-requited toil , whose blood is chilled by time , who ought to have some quiet nook , some comfortable fireside to rest their age , and shelter their infirmities in : yet they must wander forth , and with voice that falters in _unissn with . their tottering steps , sing , or rather attempt to sing , —for iu London it is ' no song , no supper . '' _Thay must sing for alms , though alms ought to be given to prevent them being put to the pain of singing ; bnt they most 8 i"g or tbe ever-open hand will remain _outstretched in vain . How can they sing ? how unfeeling it is to expect them to mock their own miseries by _inerrimenfc Is this the fate we wiah for our _grandsires and grandmothers ? Bnt , alas . ' tbe very commonness of these-things , a commonness that makes them only more mournful , more shocking , makes them be unconsidered , unheeded .
And if these be the every-day sights , what are the every-nlgbt " . scenes ? when misery comes out of its hiding-place , and seeks relief by sin—when the fairest daughters of our isle , who have been scared by the gaunt aspect of famine into the smiling embrace of voluptuousness—when ruined loveliness seeks a respite from thought in beastly intoxication or brutal lustwho feel every remaining spark of lost virtue a pain to them , and strive to extinguish it by _unwomanising themselves , so to speak ; and yet these poor , demoralised , hrntalised , demonised creatures might have been tbe help of mothers , the comfort of fathers , the pride of brothers , the solace of husbands , tbe ornaments of _domestic _usefulness , but they fell into arms that ought to have been stretched to save and not to sink , and now their portion is guilty woe _^—the abomination of deso-

lation . Surely , this is the last way of life that women would walk in ; but what other way is left to thousands , except the path that leads to the grave ? what escape is for them . '—what means of return ? The penitentiaries open not to the voice of penitence , but te the voice of interest , and when open there are painful penances to be performed within ; no home and no house will take them back to virtue ; it is too late , and the poor victims are constrained to sell themselves , body and soul , to disease and despair . These are oar Bisters , and is this the way we would have our sisters done by ?
_Parliament instituted to inquire into and to correct national evils , never inquired into these things , will not suffer them to be inquired into . Committees are appointed to inquire into the condition of felons in prison—of paupers in workhouses—of children in factories aud mines , and all this is well worth inquiring into . ; butno committee sita to inquire intothe condition of the outcasts in the streets . Oh , what a tale each one could tell ; but a tale tbat our Government would not listen to , because in it they would bear their own _condemnation . Bnt let ns get tbe Charter , and all these evils will be inquired into and remedied—we must not expect it till then . Therefore I call on all who have fathers , who have mothers , who have brothers , who have sisters—I call upon all who are
themselves fathers , mothers , brothers , er sisters —upon all who are men , who have the common _feelingB of humanity—I call upon you for the sake of ethers , for tbe sake of yourselves—for the sake of our fellow-creatures , not only those who wear the human form , but also for the sake of the poor dumb animals that toil in torture , tbat are driven to death by hard taskmasters for whom they work till they die , running till they drop with bureten hearts ; I call on you for the sake of every living thing , for everything that has life , may rue life under the present system ; for life , the blessing of God , is turned into a curse by man—I call on all , for the sake ef all , to strive for the Charter , that these things may pass away , and a newer , a better order of things may come in their Btead .
And now I conclude—conclude as I began with the text—it is the first and the last , and if there had been no other rule given in the Bible than this golden one , it were enough ; it is a Bible in itself ; a precept most worthy to be given by God to man , for if we followed _it—^ if we strictly exemplified it , we should have all happiness that our nature is capable of , we should be what God intended us to be , we . should all be happy here-and happy hereafter , if only we did unto each other as we would be done by .

" Sir , —Herewith I have the honour to forward a copy of the reply from tbe Secretary ef State to the memorial which I placed in his hands on behalf of Samuel Holberry , now a prisoner In York Castle , and I much regret to send you a communication of so unsatisfactory a nature . "I remain , Sir , " Your very faithful servant , "Geo . R . pechell . " "Mr . R . Colling , Brighton . "
REPLY TO'THE MEMORIAL . " Whitehall , 12 th May , 1842 .

"I am , Sir , " Your most obedient humble servant , " 8 . M . Phillipps . " Capt Pechell , RN ., M . P .

To The Members Of The National
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL
CHARTER ASSOCIATION . My Dear Friends , — -Mr . Ridley and myself were appointed te attend to that business of the Convention which the members left us to do on their leaving the metropolis . One part of our duty was to procure the aid of the Members of Parliament and others In behalf of our incarcerated brethren , and to procure the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones . : ¦ With the view of effecting these desirable results , we waited on Mr . Duncombe , who , with his usual earnestness and honesty , at once expressed bis readiness to serve us in any way ; at the same time stating bis fears tbat his and our labours would end in disappointment . Mr . Duncombe , to prove to us that his doubts Were not unfounded , handed to us an answer he had received from the Home Secretary , in reply to the prayer of a memorial be had forwarded . I looked at the document ,
and instantly remarked , V . Why this is a printed answer , or rather a lithographed edition of the usual Governm « nt answer to bur memorial . " To be sure it is , " said Mr . Duncombe , " and I have no doubt they have prepared them as answers expressly for the Chartist memorials which the Government imagine will be very numerous , and would take tip the time of the clerks in answering them . You see blanks are left to be filled up with the name of the person in whose favour you may memorialise , and Mr . Phillips has no more trouble than to pat in Frost , Holberry , or any other name mentioned by you . " "That beats _Whlggery altogether , " said both Ridley and myself . I carried the document with me , and will exhibit it as a curiosity at every public meeting , until tbe universal burst of honest indignation shall arouse the present flinty-hearted Ministers , if not to the practice of justice , at least to a sense of burning shame .
Fellow-countrymen , are you disposed to submit te this brazenfaced insult ? Know all of you that the Government have not time to answer your memorial , far less to listen to your complaints . It " ' . follows--in proper order , after the ' refusal of the House to hear your wrongs explained to them and to the world-The answer which is prepared for you * and which , like the laws of the Medes and Persians , Is to be unalterable , runs thus . Ten millions of memoriae Would have the same reply : — " SIR , —Secretary Sir James Graham , having carefully considered your application in behalf of — -, I am directed to express to you his regret that there is no sufficient ground to justify bim , consistently with his public duty , in advising her Majesty to comply With the prayer thereof . .. " ¦ I am , ¦ Sh y ' .. " Your obedient bumble servant , "S ; M . Phillips . "
This precious morsel of outrageous and unblushing tyranny is directed to any one who may be fool enough after thiB uncalled-for insult , to approach the Lithograph-office , at Whitehall . What they will do next I cannot pretend to say , but I should Imagine the next improvementintbe science of despotism , willbe to cast an iron man _foTf the purpose of answering the people's prayers , and I reallyheHeve the mockery would not be much leas than it is , whilst the trifling expence of the machine wonld be something to recommend it to the people ' s notice .
I would advise some of-the Chartists to forward their memorials for the mere purpose of having one of these lithograph evidences brought up in evidence against a callous and desperate faction , which may rest assured that our complaints , our wrongs , and our rights will have in every Chartist mouth , a machine which will lithograph our grievances with ten-fold energy and perseverance throughout the length and breadth of thenatlon . I am , my dear friendB , Your uncompromising ¦ ¦ ¦ '¦ Fellow labourer In the cause of Chartism , P . M . M'Douall . PS I shall be in Birmingham on Monday ; Manchester on Tuesday ; and Bury on Wednesday . My -. other ' promises shall be fulfilled as soon as possible , of which I shall give due notice .
The memonal and remonstrance have been slightly altered by the request of Mr . Duncombe , and the corrected edition will appear in the next Star .
Mr. Roebuck And The Bath Chartists. The ...
MR . ROEBUCK AND THE BATH CHARTISTS . The following correspondence will be read , no doubt , with interest by tbe Chartists throughout tbe country : —
"TO JOHN ARTHUR ROEBUCK , ESQ ., MP . " 19 , Gloucester-road Buildings , Swans wick , Bath . " Sir , —I am requested by the Council of tbe Bath Chartist Society to forward the following resolution to you , with a request that you would answer the same . The resolution was passed unanimously . They take this step previous to their calling a public meeting to take the sense of the inhabitants respecting the matter to which this letter refers . It is as follows : —
" That we , the Councillors of the Bath Chartist Society , being a portion of those who elected Mr . Roebuck , feel called upon to state , that while we approve of and are pleased with Mr . Roebuck ' s general remarks made in defence of our principles , we denounce his attack on the supposed author of the National Petition as malignant and cowardly , and as an insult to all who signed that document ; we , therefore , call upon Mr . R . to apologise for his conduct , to prove tbe charge of malignancy and cowardice , or to retract this assertion . '
" am , Sir , Yours most respectfully , " G . M . Bartlett . " IN _REPLT , MR , ROEBUCK SAYS : — "Londay , May 13 , 1842 . " Sir , —Before I can pay the slightest attention to your unseemly letter , I desire to know the names of the electors who passed the resolution . " I am , Sir , " Your obedient servant , "J . A . Roebuck . " Mr . G . M . Bartlett . "
TO MB . ROEBUCK , H . P . SIR , —On receivin * your letter , I thought proper to lay . it before the CouncD . Feeling , as they do , a kindred regard for you as an avowed democrat They regret you should have raised any quibble , or doubted tbe veracity of the person who forwarded you their resolution respecting your attack on the supposed author of the National Petition—an attack which they considered to be an insult to themselves , and all others who signed that document . They asked you to apologise for your conduct , to prove the charge of malignancy and cowardice , or to retract your assertion . For reply you say yon must know the names of the " electors "
who passed the resolution , before you can pay the slightest attention to my unseemly letter . This they consider to be an evasion of a plain question , which , whether put by electors or non-electors , yon ought in justice to have answered . However , I overlook the * unseemly * attack you have made on my veracity , and here give the names yen require . But permit me to state one or two things . At a late meeting you advised us , if dipleased with anything yen may have done , to ask you to explain . We do ask you to explain -why you attacked the supposed author of the National Petition ? Yon also , on the occasion in question , advised us ' to bear and forbear '; but is your conduct an example of such ?
We consider your attack to be unwarrantable and uncalled for . We are pained that it Ehonld have been made to undo that good which yonr speech wonld otherwise have effected . Had you attacked , by fair argument , * the very foolish petition , ' we sheuld have applauded your candour and straightforwardness ; but , instead of doing this—instead of pointing out tbe * foolishness * of the petition , you conjured up a supposed author for the purpose , it would appear , of maligning his motives , and misrepresenting the character of tile Chartists generally . Your attack was -evidently made in tbe same spirit as that which you condemned . What proof had you that the author of tbe petition was ' a malignant and cowardly demagogue ?'
The petition affords no such proof . It was drawn up by the Executive of the National Charter Association . It expressed our sentiments ; though if we had had the drawing of it up , ha the first place , we might have differently worded it , thinking it best to give no pretext for the enemy to cavil about the principles . But whatever petition may be presented in the Commons , it would be sure to displease some . Wishing an answer as soon as convenient , I am respectfully yours , G . M . Bartlett . Bath , May 17 , 1842 . P . S . I enclose the names and resolution . The above is written at the request of the National Charter Association .
JIB . ROEBUCK ' S REPLV . London , May 20 , 1842 , " SIR , —The resolution you sent me purported to be of the electors . I desired to know who those electors were . In asking that question I did not question the right of tbe non-electors in any way ; but when a man assumes a character it is but right that he should be entitled to it I desired to know the electors who had passed the resolution , and as you have sent me the names of five persons ( six ) who were so , I answer them as such . Had you not claimed the character of electors and demanded on that ground an answer , I should have said nothing on the subject of electors .
" Firstly , —I beg to say that I deem it of absolute necessity that every member of the House of Commons have perfect liberty of speech—and 1 wiil not , by any act of mine , by way of explanation , diminish that right { . '!) - When , however , I can remove mistake , without prejudice to the perfect liberty of speech which I deem essential , I will do so . And therefore , " Secondly , —1 beg to say , that I took great care to express every proper regard for the petitioners who signed the National Petition . I cast no insult upon them , intended to cast none , but of the petition itself I spoke in the way I thought fitting , and shall do so again if the _occasion requires it I thought it foolish , I think so still , and my opinion thereof is not altered by your comment on my speech .
" Thirdly . —lam told that the persona who really did write the National Petition were Mr . Philp and Mr . M'Douall . I have told them that as neither of them was in the slightest degree alluded to by me , I wa » glad to have the opportunity of saying so to them ; but that any further explanation I would not give . To them , as to yen , I expressed strongly that I never did say , never wished to say , one word tbat could be construed into an insult of the petitioners ; bnt to them , as to you , I did say that I bad the same opinion of the petition itself .
"I will not now remark on tbe language of your resolution . You may deem it proper to abuse me , bat of this I am Bure , my constituents , my country men generally will not join in that abuse . I answer you because I would not have it said that I neglected to notice a remonstrance because it came from persons not powerful . " I beg further to say that I have received the thanks of certain Chartists of Bath who signed tbe petition . I thought I had done good service to their cause , on the occasion of which you complain . " I am , your obedient servant , "J . A . Roebuck . "

To the Right Hon . Sir James Graham , Secretary of State for the Home Department . " The memorial of the members of tbe National Chartea Association residing in Brighton , agreed to at a General Meeting of tbe Association , April 27 tb , 1841 . " Humbly Showeth , —That at the York Spring Assizes , in 1840 , Samuel Holberry was convicted of conspiracy and sedition , and sentenced to four years ' imprisonment in tbe House of Correction at Northallerton . "That the effect of this imprisonment , —the rigours of the silent system having been strictly enforced , —became alarmingly injurious to the health and future Bafety of the said prisoner ' s life .
" That subsequently , under your administration as Home Secretary of State , the said prisoner was removed from the Northallerton House of Correction to York Castle , where it was hoped—nay , gratefully believed by your memorialists aud other friends of the said Samuel Holberry—was less injurious , and tbathe would there recover from the effects of his former severe treatment . " That it is now become too manifest that the prison discipline at York Castle is fast _destroying the said prisoner ' s health , and tbat unless timely mercy be shewn him , his life must be endangered ; for , " to use his own _werds , ' his debility has so rapidly increased that he can hardly crawl , and death itself must be the consequence of continued imprisonment . '
" That whatever opinions may be entertained as to the enormity of the offence for which the said S . Holberry was convicted , it cannot be disputed that he has , during the two years of his confinement most severely paid the penalty of his conviction , that if to punish . was the object of the sentence passed on him he has endured punishment in one of its worst and most _destructive forms . " That , therefore , your petitioners earnestly solicit your Interference on his behalf , aud that , under the consideration of the punishment he has endured , and of the precarious state of bis health , you will intercede for his release from confinement , and by timely restoring him to freedom and to tbe bosom of society , confer a benefit on bim for which not only he , but thousands ef his fellow men will be deeply grateful . "And your memorialists , as in duty bound , & c . & c _.

An Address Adopted By The Delegates Asse...
AN ADDRESS ADOPTED BY THE DELEGATES ASSEMBLED AT DARLINGTON , ON SUNDAY , MAY 22 , 1842 . Brother Chartists and Working Men , —We are now arrived at a crisis in the history of our country which will in after ages characterize us as a nation of tame , submitting slaves , or a society of men determined to exhaust every means within our power to shake off the yoke of slavery . We have now gained a position which depends on onr own exertions to maintain . We have proved to the world the possibility of instituting a national organization of the working classes . We have done much ; we nave rallied in thousands , nay mil'ions ; we . have already concentrated a power In itself _irreaistable . But much as we have accomplished we have more to achieve .
Think not , working men , that the gigantic pyramid of wrongs which it has taken a thousand years to erect can be overwhelmed instantly . Through endeavours prolonged , through difficulties immense , through perils _innumerabla , you must work out your emancipation . This is no time to relax our exertions for liberty , when thousands of our fellow creatures are dying for want of the common comforts and necessaries of life . Where Is the man styling himself a Christian , that has perused the debate on the National Petition in the House -. ef Commons on the 3 rd of May ; where we find statements made by Mr . Thomas Duncombe , M . P . for FinBbury , of
human beings eating a cow that had died by disease to satisfy the cravings of nature 7 Good God ! that statement alone ought to raise every patriot band , and bring a burst of execration from every patriot tongue . Where is the Englishman that has recognized the insults and libels that were put forth by Mr . Thomas Babington Macaulay , on the above mentioned debate , tbat ia not determined to shew to the world that we will not bear insults without shewing at least a spirit of resentment by redoubling our exertions to gain Universal Suffrage , which that gentleman so much dreads ?
Fellow-men and fellow-slaves , do we not behold on the summit of our social system , or rather unsocial system , a gorgeous court and a grinding and grasping aristocracy fixing their deadly and merciless fangs on the sinews of industry , and coining the blood of labour Into gold for their own selfish pleasures and their unscrupulous debaucheries ; and beneath them will we not see the great mercantile capitalists , whose enormous fortunes enable them to command the commerce of the world , vie in splendour and magnificence with those whose
bosoms glitter with the stars of nobility ? Descending a stop further we will perceive the middle class man , and amongst them many of the learned professions shine conspicuously , fluttering about in all the extravagance of riches . Proceeding further we will observe a multitude of petty speculators , all pressing forward on the track of avarice ; and at the bottom of this we will behold the gTeat industrious community on whose labour all these diadems and stars , all the princely establishments , and all this fashionable luxury , extravagance , waste , and money gathering depends .
But here reader pause ; the scene is sadly changed , for the millions who produce all , and consequently give value to all by their labour , wear the threadbare robe of poverty . Destitution speaks too plainly in their aspects ; their homes are embittered by domestic cares and embarassments ; the fond glow of love is chilled by the frozen breath of adversity , and the parent love Is appalled by the contemplation of the future . The benevolent spirit of nature is counteracted here , for the cheek of-youth is made pale by labour , it being unprotected , and consequently not rewarded . The vigour of manhood is destroyed by excessive toil , and tho White head of venerable old age is bowed down to the grave with poverty and neglect But does the evil re 3 t here ? No , no ; poverty , like a desolating plague , Is shedding its contaminating influence around us , and multitudes of those who seem to flourish in the higher circles of society are becoming its victims .
Those would-be wise Corn Law Repealers wish to give us eheap bread ; at the same time , they are reducing our wages , depriving us of purchasing , no matter how cheap it may be . Working men , always bear in mind the cheapness of any article at all times consists in the means we have at our command to purchase ; therefore , we want Universal Suffrage first . And also recollect tbat , while the landlords rob us of 120 millions , the profit-mongers take from us 45 * millions : therefore it is only a struggle between them both which party will take the whole ; and as long as thieves In common take all they can seiz 9 , it matters not to us ( the working classes ) who shares the booty , bow tbey share it , or in what proportion .
Let it be our object to annihilate the gang , and destroy the system that perpetuates the robbery . We can only destroy tbe system by struggling for the power ; that power is the Charter . That obtained It would be the means of not only doing away with the high rents of landlords , but In a great measure put a check on the tyranny of the master manufacturers , by throwing the mantle of the law around tbe working man , by making laws to protect his property , which ia his labour , from the rapacious grasp of human vampires .
Fellow-men and fellow-slaves , come forward in the majesty of your strength , and be determined , on your part , to act Ike men and like Chartists . Let us have
An Address Adopted By The Delegates Asse...
a county lecturer , in conjunction with other parte of England : when poor North Lancashire , where there is some of the bravest but unfortunately the poores operatives in England , can afford to pay a lecturer , their wages not averaging four shillings a week , surely Durham County , and the Borders or Yorkshire united , at least , can have one also . Brother C hartists , the delegates assembled at Darlington , on Sunday , the 22 d May , have laid a plan down where by the money can be raised , and have empowered Mr . Charles Connor , Who acted as Secretary to correspond with the different places j and the delegates hope that the Chartists in all the localities will Immediately commence , if they approve of the plan , to _sej about collecting the inoneyy as we came to the conclusion unanimously not to employ a lecturer , until we had a month _* s pay in band . The following is the plan the delegates proposed : — Sunderland

An Old Lady Named Dosson, Is Now Living ...
An old lady named _Dosson , is now living in Bridgewater , who is in her hundredth year ; Bhe has all her faculties about her , and can see to read and sew without the aid of spectacles . — Western Luminary . Trick of a Member Of Parliament to Elude the Income Tax—It ia stated , on the authority of an Irish Ministerial paper , that Mr * Quintin Dick , the Member for Maldon , has transferred a sum of £ 95 , 000 from the British to the Irish funds , as a preparatory step to that of transferring himself from this land of his adoption to that land Of his birth . We know not , of course what foundation there may be in truth for such a story ; but it wants not verisimilitude to make it ourrent . Tories are in general disposed to back their friends and stand by
their principles , m the way in which this Hon . Gentleman is described to do so ; that is , with the least possible detriment to themselves . Having agreed in Parliament , as member for an English borough , to lay a heavy impost upon his constituents he is here exhibited as avoiding to lessen their burthen or to share it by so much as his little finger . This—whether the representation be correct or wholly imaginative- —is the very beau ideal of the public virtue at present in vogue . The patriot first of all helps his party at a dead lift , by establishing a tax for them , and his next care is to secure himself by running away from its operation , We wish Mr . Roebuck would interrogate the Hon . Member for Maldon , as to the truth of this rumoured movement to elude the Income Tax . If it be tnte , we presume there must be a compromise of the seat .
Ireland . —The Irish papers teem with accounts of " outrages , " mostly of an agrarian kind . We enumerate some of the number of instances . Tipperary has been so disordered , that the High Sheriff convened the magistrates of the disturbed districts , to make representations to Government . The proceedings did not transpire . The Magistrates of King ' s Count 5 'likewise assembled ; but the promptitude of their combination had much effect in pacifying the neighbourhood , and several rioters returned to their work . The meeting therefore broke up without resorting to ulterior measures . The Nenagh _poBt-office was the channel for a threatening notice to Mr . Uniack Bayly , of BailinaClough . The Neriugh Guardian recounts riotous attacks on Mrs . Gleeson ,
of Grange , and her care-taker . At first Mrs . Gleeson was ordered to discharge him on pain of death ; another day a pistol was presented to her breast , as she was riding out , and she was ordered to retain the man ; and finally , the cottage of the man himself was entered by an armed and disguised party , wbo told him that the second order was not the genuine / mandate Of " Captain Starlight , "beat him , threw thatch upon his fire , and drove him but of the _cottage , threatening death if he returned . They said that they come from a great distance . Three policemen were attacked near Michelstown ; one of them was so beaten , as to be past hope of recovery , and the second was killed with a bayonet ; the third escaped . The Government have found it necessary to station an additional Stipendiary Magistrate at Portumna . to prevent as much as possible the
systematic ruffians from crossing the Shannon from the adjoining border of Tipperary . The Newry Exd ' miner attributes a fatal outrage to Qran _^ eism ; one Madden bad bis skull cleft with av spade , while at work , by Meighah , a noted rioter ; and the murderer was suffered to walk off . TheLeinster Express says that . James Keogh was arrested hear _Moneygall , while posting a notice threatening a Mrs . Ryan with death if she did hot give ten acres of land to tbe poor people in the neighbourhood , for the purpose of potatoe-settihg . The Dublin Evening Mail mentions that the house of Michael Gleeson , at _Curraghglass , was visited by an armed party of fonr , who struck him , and told him that he would be killed if he did not give up tho land which he took from widow Maher ; to whom he had paid a " 6 um of money for her interest .
An Old Lady Named Dosson, Is Now Living ...
The Cottage Garden Plan . —There are how in the neighbourhood of Nottingham fourteen auxiliaries of the Labourers' and Artizans' Friend Society , and applications are being made to the society in Nottingham from many places to form others . U pwards of one hundred and thirty acres in this neighbourhood have been broken up into about 800 allotments , and seed has been found on loan for many of them . The Town Council Of Nottingham passed a resolution in January last in favour of the cottage garden plan , but the lands intended to be granted cannot be appropriated until an Act of Parliament has been obtained . Mr . Orange , who is the active and persevering agent of the society , proposes to foxm auxiliary societies through the Northern and Midland counties ; and contemplates that the funds raised should be appropriated to loans with bonus or interest , and part be applied to the erection of cottages , almshouses for the aged ; and agricultural _BoEools _^ ¦¦¦ ' : ¦
.,: _Billingshurst . —Strange Delusion and Consummate Crueltt . —A wbmtin named Barns , the wife of a labouring man residing at New Pound Common , in the parish of _Wisborongh-green , having been ill for a long time , and being unable to account for her lengthened indisposition , supposed , a _ did her neighbours also , that she was bewitched , and looking about them for the cause of the evil , their suspicions fell on a woman of abou t forty years of age , said to be a very decent , inoffensive creature ; this idea had been entertained for a long time and many sohemes were put into operation to destroy her influence , but ail had failed up to the latter end of last April , when by some means they became possessed with the notion that if they got some
pigeons and burned them alive , keeping every part of the room stopped up close , and not speaking While the operation was going on , they would effectually destroy the witch ' s power . In order to reduce this _soheme to practice they procured pigeons and tied them in pairs back to back by their wings , and lighted a large fire , and stopped up the roem as _olose as possible ; some of the poor pigeons they opened at the breast in order that the fire might burn their hearts while alive . How many were burned the writer cannot say , but he heard a neighbour _jstate that he himself burned four , and he thought they should have destroyed the witch if the house had been closer . It is supposed by the neighbours that from a dozen to sixteen pigeons
were destroyed in this cruel manner . ——Sussex Express . . ¦ Extraordinary Trial . —The following singular ease , which , we believe , is the first of the kind that has ever been tried in a Court of Justice , ei t her in this country or America , has been heard before Judges Baldwin and Randall , in the United States Circuit Court , at Philadelphia . The prisoner , A . W . Holmes , one of the brew ; of the William Brown , stood charged with manslaughter on the high seas . The vessel sailed from this port for Philadelphia on the I 2 th of March , 1841 . On the night of the 19 _; h of April , when about 250 miles from Newfoundland , she struck , as is supposed , on an island of ice , and sank in about an hour . _Thirty-one persons , who had remained on board , perished . Of the remainder of
the passengers and sailors , forty-two had got into the long-boat , and the captain , with eight of his crew and a passenger , were in the jolly-boat . On the following morning the boats separated to make the best of their way to land , and so crowded was the long-boat ; that the mate , at parting , said to the captain that ho saw no alternative for them but to cast lots who should go over . Although the sea was calm , baling was constantly necessary _; but at night the wind freshed and the rain was violent ; the boat leaked , and the waves were dashed into it , so that , according to the witnesses for the defence , the danger was great and inevitable , alhongh those for the prosecution did not believe it to be imminent . It seems to have been admitted on all hands ( at
least it was not denied by the witnesses for the prosecution ) that the boat was sinking , and that the gunwale was within two inches of the water ' s edge . In this extremity , the expedient of lightening the boat by throwing over of passengers was resorted to , and on the following morning ; two others were thrown over , but by whom does not appear to have been satisfactorily proved , some swearing that it was one individual , some another . The case was warmly argued oh both sides , the prosecution contending that no case of inevitable necessity had been made out , and that the law applied only to cases much more extreme than this . The defence allged _, that they had fully established a case of inevitable
necessity ; and there was every presumption to believe , that if they had not resorted to the melancholy alternative of throwing some overboard , they would all have inevitably perisheo . Here the case rested , when the Judge charged the Jury that the obligation of the captain and crew to carry the passengers safe extended oven to a case of such imminent peril , aud they were bound to sacrifice their own lives , if necessary , for the preservation of the rest . The Jury , after a consultation of twenty hours , found Holmes guilty , but unanimously recommended him to the mercy of the Court . Judge Baldwin said , that their recommendation should have the most respectful consideration .
The Poor and the Grave . —If any additional proof could be required to establish the fact that the poor in this country are less cared for than brute animals , we might find it in the following disgusting realities : —It seems that for a considerable time past a serious mortality has raged among the labouring classes in the little town of Suttoh-in-Ashfield , Nottinghamshire , through a species of low fever , produced by want of necessary food . This , one would think , is sad enough for the survivors , and it is not only most lamentable , but most disgraceful also , to us : that we must add to this calamity " among families the inhuman treatment to which the bodies of the poor victims are subjected . For want of space in the churchyard of this place , graves have
been opened—remains exhumed—the human bones , and even portions of sculls , with hair yet on , have been thrown at random about the desecrated precinct , that afew shovels full of earth _mighty for f orm sake , be thrown Over the last inmal e of a parish grave . This , then , being the way in which we treat the remains of our poor brethren , can we wonder at tho following companion picture , as it regards our _humanityvand decencytowards _foreigners , ; -if poor I ft appears that the unfortunate Lascars , who are , from time to time , brought to'this blessed land of cant and cruelty by the agents of the East India Company , are not only abandoned to pajrtial starvation upon their arrival , but , if they should siuk under the united hardships of our climate and their sufferings ,
they are left to do as they may . No consolation is afforded them—no pious , forty-horse power tongued spouter of Oriental literature addresses them—no man cares for either their souls er bodies ! and , if they die , they are buried like rotten cattle at Bow Common 1 Is not this horrible ! Can our Exeter Hall saints—our missionaries—our guides to heaven look in each other ' s faces Without blushing ? If they can , they are bronzed indeed—and pitiable is the condition of those who look to them for an example of Christianity . —London paper . Distributing Bills against the Army in Birmingham .- — BiniiiNGHAa , Saturday Evening . —This morning , at the Police-office , the magistrates were engaged investigating a charge against a man named
Samuel Hines , which caused considerable interest . The room was quite full , and amongst those : present were Mr . Joseph Sturge , some of the officers of the staff , and many of the Soeiety of Friends . Serjeant Walter Crbhen , of the 1 st Royal Foot Guards , appeared toprefer ; tho complaint ; and stated that he was on dnty in Smithfield the day before , beating . up for recruits , when he was interrupted by a great crowd , who collected around him and his party . jHe saw the prisoner delivering a great quantity of bills among the people , who were using , violent language . He heard the mob say , "To hell with the Queen , " " To hell with the Government , " " , ' To hell with the soldiers . " He applied to one of the ; head officers of police to know what he should do , and was told that
be must apprehend the prisoner , or any man who obstructed him in the exercise of his duty . He then proceeded through the fair , and the prisoner came close to him delivering his bills , ¦ and _ne ( witness ) took one of them out of his hands , and found it was an advice to the people not to enlist . It was headed ' •* . Hints _td the Army , ** and all through Was against enlisting . When he saw the nature of the bill , and found his passage obstructed by the people , he took hold of the prisoner and brought bim into the ranks of his party , " and then called i a S lice officer , and gave him ; into custody _, e could not swear the prisoner was with the mob when he made use of the language against the government and the soldiers . The prisoner did
Obstruct him by causing a crowd to assemble around him . He ( the sergeant ) was .. not a police-officer , but he considered that it was his bounden duty , as a soldier , to protect the government ; and when he found the nature of thebills whioh were being delivered Out , he thought he ought to take the prisoner up . Mr . Morgan , the prisoner ' s attorney , _crossexamined the sergeant , who said he should not have interfered with the prisoner had it not been for the bills which he was delivering . He caused a great crowd to assemble about him , and the people obstructed him in his passage . Mr . Gem , the magistrate ' s clerk , said there was quite sufficient against the prisoner to warrant the magistrate in remanding him , until they could , learn from the Crown what
was to be done with him . They must take the opinion of the Attorney and Solicitor-Generals upon the subject . Police constable 173 then produced a large bundle of hand-bills , which he took but of the prisoner ' s apron . One of them was headed , "Rhymes for the army ; blood , battle , and plunder . " The second was the case of a poor woman , named Crassman , a soldier ' s wife , who applied some time ago for relief to the magistrates of London , having been left in a state of groat distress by her husband , and who lately left this country for India . Mr . Gem said the prisoner could be admitted to bail to appear to answer any charge which might be preferred against him , on the receipt of the government instructions . Mr . Morgan said Mr . Sturge would be bail for the prisoner ' s appearance . Mr . Joseph Sturge then rose and entered into £ 20 surety for the prisoner ' s appearance , Hines also bound himself in the same sum , and left the ofiice . _—iondon Paper .

Wonderful _Escape . —On Wednesday evening one of the most frightful occurrences we ever remember to have seen , occurred in Bridlesmith-gite , in , this town . The procession conducting Mr . Sturge , was turning the _coirner of Middle-pavement , aud many hundreds lined Bridlesmith-gate , when a cry was raised of " clear out , " and in the ;; dutance ' : a horse and light cart in which sat a farmer came tearing along the street at a furious pace . _; The farmer kept his seat well—he pulled with , all his might at the reins , but to no purpose- —the animal still tore on at full gallop , in spite of the waviog _^ of hands and hats to stop him . At the end of Bridlesmith-gate , the driver tried toturn him to the left _, but without avail , as he darted with his head and the shafts with immense "force against the front of Mr . Johnsons ' , the ; Postern-gate . The crash
seemed as if it would dash the cart to pieces , but in the most wonderful manner the driver kept his seat —the horse turned himself round and Walked very gently , and the cart Was uninjured . In turning round , the horse knocked a woman down into the gutter , and drew the Cart over ; her , before he could be stopped . Accidently , however , sh e had a thick cloak on , which saved her from a broken _, limb . The horse seemed quite stunned with striking his head with such force , and to that may be attributed his quietness afterwards . Never did we see or hear of an accident evidently so appalling , ending so well . "The course of the cart lay amongst _hiindreas of people ; thickly collected , and yet only one was hurt . Had he turned into Middle-pavement no doubt many lives would have been lost . Tho cart had on it James Martin , farmer . Burton . _—^ Nottingham Review . •'" _-. ' :.... : '' . _* :- ' .- ' --
Distressing Occurrence . —Two Lives Lost . — Chatham , May 19 . —This day a Jury assembled at the Duncan ' s Head public- house . New Road , Chatham , to investigate the circumstances attendant upon the death of two men , named Thomas Turner and William Taylor ; whose lives were lost on Monday night last , whilst emptying a cesspool in Beststreet . The first witness examined was Robert Taylor ,, brother of the deceased , William Taylor . He stated that his brother was a bricklayer , and haul been employed in making a cesspool adjoining to another cesspool , on the premises of .-Mr ; Farmer , Best 8 ireet . The new cesspool was nineteen feet _deepi and the old one nine feet . A stage was erected in the new one , about nine feet below the ; surface
of the earth . On Monday night the deceased , Wm . Taylor and Thomas Turner , went dowu into the hole and made an aperture , and the slough run through . Witness remained _aboye . After which witness ' s brother , with a crowbar , enlarged the hole , and the stuff run out faster ; very Boon afterwards witness heard his brother cry out , Dear me , I can hardly breathe , " when almost in ah instant be fell into the soil . Witness called to Turner , and said , - ¦ •* For God ' s sake , put the rope down and fetch him up . " Turner . did so ; he , however , fell in also . Mr . Dunstail , who was then on the stage , sang ont for the ro p e , and before it could be brought up he fell and fainted . ' He did not fall intothe soil . Witness and a person named Farmer pulled out Mr . Dunstall . Mr . Dunstall was the master . Every precaution
was taken : a candle was kept burning down in the hold ; they therefore considered there was ho danger . Assistance : was procured . Witness's brother and Turner were got out , but they were quite dead . Witness can speak positively that both the men understood their work . Deceased's brother is thirty _^ five years of iage , and Turner thirty-four . Mr . Benjamin Tribe , surgeon , said he was sent for Oa Monday evening , a quarter before ten o ' clock . Saw the deceased , Taylor , immersed in the sewer with his head out of the fluid . The body having been brought up , witness found the deceased was dead . Turner , When brought up , was also dead ; -: Their deaths were produced by suffocation , by inhaling a quantity of gas . The Jury , after some little consideration , returned a verdict— - ' * Accidentally suffocated . "
The Great Western steam-ship , Lieutenant Hosken , R ; N ., sailed on Saturday _afternoon , from Liverpool for New York . She carried _sixty _^ five passengers , amongst whom was Mr . H . Palmer . She had a fair quantity of fine goods on freight .
