TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Gextiejiex , —No lover of his conntry can , at the present , con template the exertions now being made by ihe brave people of this country , who are determined to be ! ree , witoout feeliug his mind stimulated to exertions in this inoral crusade against corruption , " injustice , and tyranny ; and . Sir , the great and laving principles of Radicalism need only to be known to be embraced and appreciated . There are XBtny small towns and populous villages , ( iu this eonnty for instance ) th- « inhabitants of which long to join in the universal demand of the people ' * right * , but throngh timidity , or something else , do not hie to be thf first to move in the good work . > ' ow , it is important at the present mncture , that the whole energies of the people should be brought to bear on the attainment of Universal Suffrage ; and to sccomphVhthis point , the Radicals ought to make farce as effective as possible by numbers . Now , Sir , I woeld SDgsrst to the members of the Northern Union , the propriety of sending political missionaries to such places as have not yet joined Radical Associations . Suppose that two went together , as they did of old , there can be no doubt but that ^ uch means would greatly advance the cause of Democracy , and the expence would not be much for a greai body of men to bear ; besides , the means proposed are honourable ; other societies use them , why not the Radicals r It would be impossible to caknlate th *» strength that would be gained to the Radical cause , by such means . Let men of talent be sent to expo * e the villany of our governors , and we have many men of talent who are willing to devote the whole of their energies to this good woik , but cannot without remuneration . Hoping that you will give this a place in the Star , for the consideration of the Northern Union , I am , respectfully , T . W . Bradford , September 24 , 1838 .

HYDE . IMPOBTAST TO RATE-PATT ^ j . Sirs , —In your local news of Saturday last an article appeared , headed as above , wherein the following observations are attributed to Mr . J . Howard , one of the magistrates , in reply to Captain Clark : — * For he hoped no man who worked for him would imagine that he had any intention to suffer the continuance ofanyoppre-sicra orgrievance ; forhewould be jDMt ready at any time to redress any wrongs ol which they might hare to complain , " &c . &c . The following are an example or . wo of Mr . Howard ' s mode of redressing grievances : —A few months ago
fins said gentleman discharged from his employ the wife of jour agent at Hyde , and hermother ' s family , for the very heavy crime of allowing that distinguished patriot and best of parsons , the Rev . Mr . Stephens , to take some refreshment at his house . Again , he nearly frightened another poor old man 1 nd his wife to death , for allowing Mr . Stephens to preach in his house , telling them he would neither employ them nor should they be employed in the Country if he could prevent it . Now , Sirs , I shall make no comment * , having simply stated the facts : I leave a discerning public to draw their own conelcaons , J . R .

"• True Education . —It is not to knowledge alone that education must he directed . Action and being are the most important points , and knowledge is onl y valuable as far as itcontribnies to make tnem perfect It is little if a man be an eneyclopajdia of knowledge , if he is unah . e to take his rank as a moral , social being . Precept and the science of morals , no doubt , will enable him intellectually to judge between action ; hut many know , who cannot act : this is not enough . Unless education has operated the desires and
upon habits—unless it has accustomed the individual to seek his pleasure from things which afford it of the highest , and most enduring description - unless ithas awakened the sympathies and taught him to take a deep interest in the wellbeing of bJ 3 fellows—unless , in a country wealthy as this is , it has made the possessor of it aesirous and capable of applying it to reasonable and noble purpose?—it has done little to make him wiser and happier ; and if it has not these effect ? , where is its utility ?
Mechasical Inventions in America . — Me . Thomas Blanchabd . —The New York Advertiser , of August 24 , has the following communication from a correspondent : Tfco-. Blanebard , well known in the history of inventions in this country , has produced a model to prevent steam-boat explosions . It is so contrived that when the water is reduced below a given quantity , the door through -which fuel is supplied closes , and cannot be opened until the complement of water is made up .
There is , therefore , no possibility of an explosion arising from a deficiency of water , even if the engineer is ever so much disposed for it . It is in this particular a complete guard against carelessness , intoxication , and that fool-hardiness whieh scatters destruction . Mr . Blaachard is a member of the American Iastiture , and has promised to make a full exhibition of his contrivance , and have it tested on the eleventh annual fair , which commences on the 15 th of October next . It is an exhibition of
machinery , models , manufactures , &c , in New York , resembling the " Adelaide Gallery" in Londone ; and he will offer a premium to any one who will cause this boiler to explode . There are few men living whose inventive powers will compare with Thoma <« Blanchard ' s . His education is limited , but the faculty of discovering unexpected means to accomplish desired ends strikingly characterises his mind . It was he who invented the wonderful machine for turning irregular forms , which , ever sanee he brought it forth , has been-used in the armory of the United States , for manufacturing gun ? ° ? - H 5 l ?? '> la 8 te > & e- > ^ turned with this machine
. The history of this invention is somewhat cunous . Mr . Blanchard had made some improvement ^ m constructing the metallic part of-fire arms , which dMpenseiwith a portion of the labour before reqmred , whereby several workmen were thrown out u 4 ? ? . ; The P 111-840 ^ manufacturers observed , lhank fortune none of your inventions can deprive us of our employment . " « You are not so certain of that , said ^ Mr . B . " and in a few weeks he produced his famous lathe , which readil y gave an exact JactirmU of any pattern . The boats successfully used m ascending flats , particularl y on the ConneebenVmer , which before were " deemed
Insurmountable , are from the same inventive source . We have wntten this to call public attention to a most important object , and to induce a thorough investigation of this invention , which , if successful , will save thousands of lives , and will rani Kr .

¦ Lablache . —( From the Musical World . )—liablache may be said to be the first comedian in i-urope at the present time ; and the more to be praised , as most of the theatres are destitute of actors of the first order of talent . This year , in particular , fashion seems to have taken him under her especial protection ; and never has this distinguished artist shown himself to greater advantage . The support he has received from all sides has * been unbounded , and well does he deserve it , uniting , as he does , musical and histronic excellence . A few words on his early life may not be unintertsting to our readers . Louis Lablache , now 44 years of age , was born at Napleswhere his fatherNicholas
, , , Lablache had established himself as a French merchant , but was completely ruined by the misfortunes attendant oa the revolution . Joseph Napoleon , wishing to repair these losses of a French subject , placed his son Louis , who showed great talent for music , in the conservatoire , called " La Pieta di Turchiui , " a name since changed to San Sebastiano . The young Lablache studied both instrumental and vocal music at the same time : he commenced man y of the stringed instruments , and Kave ample evidence of his rapid improvement .
One of the pupils who played the violoncello , beiug taken ill just before a concert , Lablache , who had nover P » ri <» « ly tnnched thai i »< , t « , moriT 0 £ ferea to take his place ; and , during the three days before the examination , studied with Bucb assiduity and ardour , that he played his companion ' s part with great success . An illness of six weeks' duration followed this injurious exertion of his mental powers . When still very young , Lablache wished to try his fortune on the stage , and five times in succession he fled from the conservatoire , with the view of
procuring an , engagement at one of the theatres at Naples ; but in vain , as the directors of the theatres of the Two Cicilies are subject to a fine , and the closing of their houses , if they engage any pupil whu has not served his full time at the Conservatoire . These pranks of Lablache were , however , of service to his fellow students , and to his successors . A small theatre was fitted up in the establishment , where not only those who were desirous of so doing practised acting and singing , but where the compositions of those who showed talent in this the
Highest branch , of art were performed . From this moment , Lablache thought no more of running away . At seventeen , he left the Conservatoire , and was immediately engaged at the Theatre San Carlino , to take the part of a Buffo-. N eapolitano , who use the provincial dialect of the country . Five months afterward . * , he married one of the daughters of the celebrated Italian comedian Pinnotti , and through this connection obtained " an engagement of the
same nature at Messina , and shortly afterwards , giving up hi- native dialect , made his appearance at Palermo , as a buffa singer , in the operaof Ser Mare Antonio , by Payesi . After a residence of fiv . 'years at Palermo , the director of the theatre at Milan , having heard him , was struck with his extraordinary talent , and immediatel y secured his services for the Theatre La Sea la , where he appeared as Dandini , in Cenerenlcla , and also in L' Eliza e Claudio , his part in which Mercadante wrote
especially for him . He visited , with equal success , all the towns of Italy ; and , at Turin , sang lor the first time in the difficult character of Uberto , in the ^ gnese of Paer . In 1 S 24 , he visited Vienna , where his performance was the subject of conversation and praise at the court , and throughout the musical circles . One circumstance will serve to prove the power and versatility of his talent , he played , on tour successive evenings , Figaro , Assur , Don Geronimo , and Uberto , characters entirely differing in every particular . The public enthusiasm overstepped all bounds ; the King , Ferdinand I ., sent for him the next morning , and , after having complimented him in the most flattering terms , appointed him singer in the Royal Chapel , also private singer to his Majesty , and granted him a pension from the privy purse . A medal , bearinc
toe elhgy of Lablache , was struck at Vienna , with thi . 3 inscription , by the celebrated translator ot Horace , Marquis Gargallo ;— " Actione Rostio , lops cantu comparaadus , utrogue laura conserla anibolus major . " Quitting Vienna , he returned to Naples , where he had not been since his first appearance there in his youth . However , he maintained , in his own city , that reputation which he had acquired in his travels . In April , 1829 , he was engaged for the Italian Opera in London , and in the October following made his delut in Paris . The English and French fully sanctioned the opinion which the Italians and Germans had formed of him . Lablache ' s figure is too well known to
require description , as also the quality and power of his voice , which is true , full , sonorous , flexible , and agreeable . The -vibration of his D is perfectly wonderful . He is also remarkable for the correctness with which he dresses ; ' for example , what can be more complete than his Henry VIIt ., in Anna Bolena , and his Georgio , in II Puritani f Lablache , in private life , is equally estimable ; and he has ever exhibited traits of generosit y and greatness of mind . Never has a fellow-countryman in distress applied to him in vain . There js a storv
told of this great artist , which , if true , redonnds To his credit . Walking one day through the streets of London , be saw a poor musician playing on the violin , with tears running down his cheeks , in vain endeavouring to excite the sympathy of the public , notwithstanding his miserable appearance . Lablache , seeing that the poor man was an object of compassion , and that he had given himself up to despair , felt for him , and , taking his violin , commenced sieging , at the name time accompanying himself . A crowd collected , and the receipts were very soon sufficient to relieve the distresses of the poor musician .

" But in half a dozen steps the horse sunk up to the saddle skirts , which made the young gallant whip , spur , curse , and swear . " Why , you whoreson rascal , " said he to the ditcher , « didst thou not tell me it was hard at the bottom ? " « Ay , " replied ifie other , " but you ate not half way to the bottom yet . "

thrown heavily . Although severely hurt , his Loruship with great agility remounted his horse , and eventually won the raw . It then appeared 'hat his Lordship in his fall had sustained a compound fracture of his collar-bone ; but we are happy to add from the prompt attendance of a medical grntleman ' who soon reduced the fracture , his Lordship is much better than he might have been expected to be ' r Child Mukder . —On Saturday last , some lads
young playing on the banks of the river Usk just below Usk Bridge , in the town of Brecon , discovered the body of a newly-barn child under the following circumstances : —In the course of their sport , they were challenging each other to wade the furthest into the water , when one of them paid he would go as far as what he conceived to be a dog in the stream , but on reaching it he said it was a bundle of rags , and broughtitout , when a son of Mr . Armstrong , surgeon , being present , discovered it to be the body of a child . An inquest was held in the
course of the day before Henry Maybery , Esq ., one of the coroners for the county , and after the examination of medical gentlemen , the jury returned a verdict of " wilful murder" against some person or persons unknown . —Silurian .

Piracy at Smyrna . —An attempt unheard of even in the time when piracy was at its hei ght in the Arcnipelago , has been committed within the last few days at the entrance of the Gulph of Smyrna The following are the details of the event as transmitted to us by the Chancery of Holland : —The Netherlands brig , Hendrifca Elizabeth , commanded by Captain A . Riedyk , coming from Trieste , was on the 1 st of September , about noon , and in a dead calm , near the north east point of the Isle of Chio , when be was hailed by an open boat , rowed by two men , who askfd them for water . Scarcely had the boat approached the brig , than several men , who were hidden under the deck , suddenly appeared , firing the
upon crew , whom they succeeded , after wounding three sailors , in driving below . The bandits then forced the captain to give them all the money he had ; they also took possession of all the new ropes they could find , as well as a part of the ship ' s cargo , consisting of sugar ( in loaves ) and tobacco . In the afternoon , the pirates forced the captain to conduct the vessel to the coast of Ipsara , compelling the remaining four sailors to assist him . Thus about sunset the vessel was behind the island . The robbers then made the sailors go below once more , clos-d the hatches in such a way that no one could escape , and , after having strongly bound the arms of the unfortunate captain , pushed him again into his cabin
, and scuttled the vessel . It was by almost a miracle that the crew were able to save themselves , at a time when there was eight feet of water in the hold , hy means of a small opening at the foot of the mainmast , which communicated with the captain ' s cabin , and which the robbers had not perceived . Once free , the crew endeavoured to save the ship by the pumps , but , seeing the inutUity of their efforts , the captain decided upon resorting to the last extremity , and at the moment that the water gained the deck they embarked in the boat , into which he had conveyed all that they were able to save . On Sunday j at noon , the vessel disappeared under the waves to the north of Ohio ; ' two leagues from the shore , and on the next day the crew arrived at Smyrna , where every assistance was
rendered them b y the Consul-General of the Low Countries , who hastened to inform the French Admiral , Commodore Bandeira , and the Captain Pasha , who was at Ourlac , demanding their assistance to discover the villains . The brigs , Le Bouganville and Montecuctili , set out directly , with the intention of pursuing the pirates , and the Captain Pasha promised to despatch a frigate to make an active cruise upon Ipsara . In consequence of this event , Commodore Bande'ira , in the interest of commerce , and to prevent new disorders at a time especially when a great number of ships frequent our ports , will place one of his vessels to cruis > e continually outside the Gulf , and he proposes himself , in the trip for which he sailed to-day , to make the most active researches on his side to discover the authors of this
act of piracy . Murder at Madrid . —Considerable sensation has been excited in Madrid , by a murder committed by M . Rodriguez ,, the Deputy ,- ' -on the person of his wife , a young and beautiful woman , to whom he was married about two years ago at Seville . M . Rodriguez , who is exceedingly jealous , accompanied his lady to a masked ball , given by M » Viqadores . His wife ' s brother wasi ainongst the guests incognitOj and wishing to cure his brother-in-law of h \ a failing , imprudently accosted hirxi with an inquiry if he was still jealous as ever . " I am at all events not jealous of you , beati masque , " was the reply . •¦ " There you are wrong , " said the mask , '' foryou have a very
handsome wife , with whose - charms I am deeply smitten . " . .. " So much the worse for you , " retorted M . Rodriguez . " By no roeani , " said the brother , " for your wife returns my affection , and , as a proof of it , I canj inform you that she has a violet mark under her right bosom . " At these words M . Rodriguez seized the stranger with the utmost . violence by the hand , exclaiming , " Your life or mine ! Meet in a quarter of an hoar at my house . " He then tore his wife from the quadrille which she was dancing , and , without saying a word to her , hurried her home . On reaching his hotel , he ascended the staircase with hisi wife stiU on his arm , 'dragged her into his cabinet . without procuring a . Httht , opened fro
his secretary , and taking ^^ nvjt a loaded-. pistol , placed the muzzle close tohis wife ' s bosom and shot her through the heart . At the report : a , . number of domestics , accompanied by the -ill-fated lady ' s brother , who had been the involuntary cause' of this frightful i catastrophe , rushed into- the room with lights . On witnessing the dreadful sight which met his eyes , the brother tore offhis mask , and proclaimed bis near relationshi p to the victim .

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET , SEPT . 24 . [ Whenever the word stone occurs in these pricesthroughout this paper , it is to be considered as the imperial stone of 141 bs and such only , no other being lawful . ] We scarcely ever recollect to have -witnessed , at the corresponding period of the year , so large a supply of Beasts as that eshibitea for sale in our market this morning , yet there were , comparatively speaking , but fpw inferior Beasts , if we leave out of the question those from Ireland , which are scarcely ever shown here more than half , fat , offering—the . principal beasts on sale being short-horns , Scets ^ Herefords , and Devons . Very few beasts have , for the last few- weeks , b > en received by sea from Scotland , and those from that quarter which were shown today were of but a middling description . ! A Urge number of Irish beasts were in the market . From the circumstance of the beasts coming to hand in tolerably aood
condition , it is pretty generall y anticipated tiat a most excellent show of Beef will be exhibited here at Christmas . The deraanaj for even the very primests ' cota was exceeauigly heavy , and a decline of from 2 d to , in some instances , 4 d per 81 bs was submitted to , but a clearance was not effectea . iiad we b > -en largelysupplied with sheep , a considerable aepressipn would , doubtless , nave taken place in the quotations ; but the numbers were in favour of the demand , they being about adequate to the sale . In the prices of mutton we can note no variation from those obtained on this day se ' nnight , but 4 s 8 d per 81 bs must be considered as" being prodnced in but very few limited transactions . As lambs niay now be considtred young mutton , we have discontinued to make any distinction in their value . There was a good suppl y ef calves on sale , with which the trade was on the whole dull , at barely
stationary prices . Although the number of pigs m the market was good , there was a considerable improvement apparent in the sale of them , at an advance of about 2 d per fclbs . We received up to this morning's market about ' ' 1 , 000 short horns , from Lincomohire ; 850 ihort-horns ^ and Devons , from . Leicestershire ; 390 short-horns and runts , from Northamptonshire ; 250 Scots , from Norfolk ; 90 Scots , runts , and Herelords , from Suffo'k ; 85 runts , Scots , and Devofcs , from ¦ Essex j 50 Derons and Irish beasts , from Carnbrid geshire ; 400 Devdris . from Devonshire ; 400 Herefords , from Hereforashire ; 150 Irish beasts ' , from Warwickshire ; . 25 Scots by sea , from Scotland ; . 40 runts ana Devons , from Sussex ; 20 Hereforos and rnntefrom Kent : 25 cows , runta , and Devoua , from Surrey .
