THE TEST OF SINCERITY . When Mr . Fielden moved in the " House " for a Repeal of the New Poer Law , one of the fool-knaves to whein , in its anger , Heaven has permitted the keeping of the dtstinien of this great country t « be confided for a season , objected that the people gave no evidence of the ardency of their wishes , or the eiuccrity of their almost innumerable petitions on the tubjtct : tbey had not revelled
m tbe obstruction of either life er property ; there had Wee ao fires , nor any murders perpetrated . We hope this wise Senator will be better satisfied with respect to the sincerity of the pt-oplein the demands they are now making ; not for the mere repeal of an obnoxicus law , but for tbe enforcement of those principles of right which shali procure tne repeal , and prevent the re-enaction , of : ; li hid laws .
Birminj-baiu has tasted the gweets of Lord HfciwiuK ' s required evidence of sinceri y—b ! cod his flowed--fire has raged—property has been de-< trcve £ —lives have been sacrificed . It pleaseth our "SVhi ^ r and Tcry masters to attribute all thb to the Chutists . We deny the imputation : liut , granting it to be true , it woull , at least , supply the ouly argument which the titled Representative of the ^ hule c !;' . ! . < of oppressor * could observe to be wanticj ; to prove that the cation ' s will was actively arouse ? , ^ ud tuat tie pu > ple were in earnest ubout ' heir work .
But what are the facts of the case ? Who are the partifj b ! amta . ble in this awful transaction ? Very clearly the Govercmeut , aad their wretched tuoLs , the Birmingham Magistracy I Sup ^ o ^ iug the fires to hd \ t ; originated with the populace , it is f-u : an t-ftVct which mast have been foreseen by evcrv o :: e with coiumou * er . ? e , as likely to arise iruiu the tau-L-3 wnich have been in operation for sometime .

We know the character
of the British ptople iLlinuely bottur iha . n do thi imbeciles who govern them . They are a brave—a pa : iect—a loR ^ -t jfl ' ering people—but terrible in their ve ^ gra :. c-e v- hen the day of reckoning does come ; a .. J we leil tne Government raostfeark '? : sly that ' ll" they persist in a cuurec of opj . rc » i < ive aud unc 4 ual legisiadou- if they continue to rGb the peior by wiihold-12 ^ from tht-ni thwir rights—if £ be laboarar is to nave no adequate rtmuntra ' . ion for his labour ; no reasonable sUare of the wealth wiiich he pr ^^ duce ^ , aOaj of general an-.

¦ Not nniy Birmingham , but the whole country , is Ccavir . j : « i ; ii exciteraenr . Our tablr is * loadcu with eomincu ^ cationii from all part ^ , telling that the new ? cf the Bi ; nr . ngham fires has opernted iiku an . electric snock ; that it ha ? concentrated the tat-rgics . healed the dificresceB , and trous-ed the determination ol" the whole people . We are sorry that our spac ? precludes us jrorn iayiog so-Tie of thtse ceiulaubiciiioni before the public , owing to the late ptr-. oi cf their reiug received . We have letters frcHi Newcastle , from Sunderland , f . oin Northampioi ; .-hirf , from Nottingham , from Batb , and from various parts of Scotland , of a character which would be calculated to make little Lord John feel
' cc-: is : der .-. bly queer" if he could but sec them . Mezcthne . we implore the people to be cautiousto rt't-rve iteir energies , and to commit no violence . We have arrived at an awful crisis , at which ont fdbe htcp might ruin all . We do not believe the Bimingham tragedy tc have been enacted by the people . We have uo doubt that the nousts were tired , and the mischief don * , by some Bired miscreants , for the accomplishment of the diabolical purposes of party . It is probable , however , that if it have been t > o , the miscreants
ha . ve srsrie what exceeded their commission ; for we htar th ;» t not lesa than £ 40 , C 00 worth of property ha- < beeu destroyed . That , however , is a niaiter of small moKieot when compared with the melancholy fact that two lives have been also lost . These two live * were worth infinitely more than all the property in Birmingham , and gladly would we , if possible , in exchange for one of tfci-m , » ee tbe waole town in ashes .
Again we implore the people to be patient , and sot fuftVr thtmselves to be goaded on to madness . Tjwe is no need for recourse to violence . Have the sug ^ estieng of the Convention been acted on ? Are the Jeiry Shops deserted acd the Gin Palaces empty ? Has tke ttapot been broken ? Have the rags been converted into gnld ? Havs all the Traae , Sick , and Benefit Societies withdrawn their money from tke banks ? Above all , and btfore all , HAS EVERY -WORKING MAN A MUSKET IN
his kocsk , and a reasonable supply ot pnwaer and sbot , wbr . itwith to afford enteruiumeat to any unwelcome visitor who shall eater his house by day or by night without having legal authority to do eo ? We impiore them not to think of violence unless they can answer everyone ofthf ^ e . ^ uestior . salifirKiativelyj aa-i we implore the mouied order . " of society no ; m&dly t » ru * h upon destruction , by compelling the people to as ? cme aposition , which , when once taker , ; £ ey are sura to maintain , at whatever cast of property or blood .
