anticipations qp general gaol Delivery . * "When rogues fall ouL honest men come by their own . "—Proverb . ANTICIPATIONS Q ? GENERAL GAOL SeLIYERY .
Tee lingering decay and , at length , tlie death of "Chartism has been long and loudly trumpeted by the . ibes to liberty ; let us examine into the grounds of thai triomph , andlo 6 kat the sandy basis on which their hopes are founded . Oar enemies hate done their worst , and yet we are not crashedj they bought that the wig of a Jndgc , ihe staff of a policeman , * nd the bayonet of * soldier would be of themselves sufficient to annihilate our Teiy name . Oppression has succeeded oppression j men , true and honest men , hare been "torn from their homes and families K&d consigned to fee cheerless dungeon ; they hare been arrested without cause and punished "without proof ; they hare either been refused bail ,, or if allowed , it has been of an amount , well known to
be beyond iheir immediate reach ; trials foiriots —for assemblages—for libel , and for the possession % t arms , have stained the annals of the present year ; the law has been perverted and has been made the de ^ rc-yer , instead of the protector , of our liberties ; Bes of the blackest dye have been circulated ; authority has been enlisted on the side of oppression and injustice of every kind has been perpstrated ; and yet after all these attacks—after all these specimens of tyranny , are we destroyed ? Have our opponents gained their objects , and driven us from , thefeee of the earth * iio ! Weremainj and are more - firmly niatcd—more disgusted with tyrantsmore resolved to be free firom their iron sway , than ever . Does . this look Eke weakness , or discord , or death !
Our cause is not like the delicate flower , which fills in s . day and "withers before the passing wind ; tut like the sturdy oak , which endowed with firmness and with strength , lives through the shock « f ages , and flourishes m defiance of the tempests . "A house divided against itself , falls ;? While union is strength . Look into our ranks , and greater gnr . Tmmry wiQ be found to prevail , than in those of any other party of the state . Is the discussion of our grievanoes ^ iroposed ! Thousands and tens of thousands flock to ihe place of meeting ; all seem to be animated by one feeling , by one determination
and that is , rather to die in defence of freedom thmn lire in &e rhavrns of slavery . Are funds neces sary far the fulfilment of our grand objects ? Every Issnd most liberally doles out its share ; the artizan contributes from his hard earnings ; the widow oSers her mite j and even children come forward with their little savings . Is danger abroad ? Behold how readily these men assemble j invincible courage in their hreasts ., and defiance in their very countenances . They repel each attack wfth Tictory , and if urged oa to vengeance , shew by their actions thai they do not wish fer plunder ^ but for security to alL : ¦ ¦
Directly the . tford is given , if their reason approves cf the proceeding , they act "upon it with union , with coaeord , ^ id with order . Thus throughout the conntry . have they marched to their churches —iiotibr the purpose of desecration , but to show how intimate is : the connexion between religion true ^ religion—and liberty . How many at once refused to . consame exeiseablearticles , which enrich a Gofrecameit opposed to their dearest interests I Even the talc ,- . which has heen going the round of the newspapers , of the barbers refusing to shave men adverse to Chartism is an evident proof that ciZare resolved to show , by every means in their power , their devotion to the exose , "
"What undertaking ever feSed , thai could boast of resolution , of firmness , of concord , « id above all , of justice ! These ingredients will "be found in our body , and they cannot be rooted out by threats or by penalties . There is cause , then , for our enemies to - *?© qs wther than to snlle—to lament , Tathd * hy > to eoagraiaiate . The grievances of the poor and ihe unprotected are more widely circulated , and more truly understood than ever ; the influence of our doctrines is more widely-extending ; and truth , whoses power will elaint % ibmi « eo » foaa human itaacm , is already prepanngfiB ^ Betory . .
Bnt we hare also other iejjjf ^ wrhlch we may try the value of ( 3 tartigm , « sd ^ a ch indiEpittablyshow ihsi itis not ye * , Wseme ^ edsr ^ Wow par . if a blight has fellen on our hopes , and we are no longer ibrmidable , surely Lord 2 &xhj 5 tbag £ e should not fcavepaiied with Ms name as a commoner , until he received the tr 2 mte due to hisTteal in procuring tlie snews of war&r the support of reckless violence ; and as surely fte-JSehle -SbcmUi j of State should not have allowed ; ' Sasetf to beNransported to the
Colonies until ie had witnessed the execution of his armament . The fcnner has l > een EhoTed into the Honse of Incurables , in order to get him out of a had jobj and the latter , with a kind of instinct of what he deserves , has transported himself , in order to save others the trouble of transporting him for ** high crimes aEd misdemeanours . ' Lord Johs jeminds ns of a dog , that seeing preparations made ibr kicking hhn dsram stairs ^ quietly sneaks down , humbled and trembling ; . " - " - - "
These two ? apient Ministers fancied that they could proceed as they pleased , hut have at length discovered that though powder and ball in themselves are of little valne / yet when wadded with Exchequer Bub the charge becomes of -vast importance . Cocks with tfldr necks wnmg crow no more , and dead GSiarfistS pay no taxes . . If the efforts of the worthy Chancellor and Secretary have been so iranscendant in the preservation of peaccjlaw , and order why have they alone been
sent to the right about \ Is theirs dismissal or de-. sertionl Bisnissal for their folly , or desertion from a conviction th 3 i neither Exchequer Bills nor deadly weapons can shield tyrants from justice , or save op ^ pressors from a timely retr ibution ? Punishment , though slow , is sure , and these men have not yet escaped . They stand already convicted , and , if ever condemnation was properly administered , it has been in Use present < ase * o the pay-maEtET and CcmxaissaKat General . By whom have they been succeeded ? ¦ - '¦ " ¦ ¦ . " -- ¦
_ The Eagle ' s uest is filled by a new pigeon , whose forte , however , lies in plucking , rather than in being plucked . This aew tenant , to show his adhesion to " fee principles of the present GoTernment , sinks their only open question , hoping- that under the mask of moderation he may eoneeal his immoderate demands upon the country . ' ' The appointment of Lord Nohh £ sbt to the Home Office developes a principle which must not be lost
Bight of . Much curiosity is natnraUv erinced to discover wheioer ^ hy Me gaol ddi ^ erieJ in Ireland , he acted the part of a judge tempering justice with mennr , or followed the whims of a capricious nature . Byhis future conduct we may learn whether he has been earned away by a desire of popularity , by folly and by ike sway of C ^ Cora ^ ^ ^^ -& £ by wi ^ om ; whether his past actions should be regarded as an honour or a disgrace .
It wfll be remembered that the Noble Ticerov was defended and justiSed by the present Govera " - Exeni and their supporters for the mUd and efficient discharge of his duties ; his general plea being that those who obtained their liberty through him , had been incarcerated for political offences . Justaee is universal and unchangeable—the same in England as in Ireland—in Rasaa as in Amerie * --&e same now asa thousand years ago . . ff it was just to release political prisoners in Ireland ; it cannot be
just to hang them in England . What must be the feeling of Englishmen , if the "Viceroy , who has triumphed over the Tory crew m Ireland by his mild administration , shonld feel himself bound by the fetters of his own faction to continue the savage sway ef one , whom iacompetency has driven from Ihe most important office of the State , God help the Colonies if 43 za presaai Isoble Secretary enfertaiathc- rrnaa hoKtHiSy te-Celonjal , that he has dismayed iowaz&hJkmss&e , liberty .

The new- Machine we some time ago announced , as in ihe course of erection , is now at work . We shall , there / ore , now be able to supply the Agents much more promptly , and much more amply . TheJ'aciUlies which this new machinery will glee us , in getting later news into the paper we shall avail ourselves of to the uttermost . The regularly appointed Correspondents to ihe Star . - will- therefore please to attend to the following instructions : —
-All Reports of Meetings , Notices tf Magisterial - Hearings , or News of Accidents , Offences , $ c ., occurring on the Friday , Saturday , Sunday , and Monday , must be forwarded so as to reach the Office first thing on Tuesday morning . Whatever requires notice that occurs on Tuesday or Wednesday , to be forwarded to the Office so as to reach here by Thursday morning . Whatever occurs on Thursday , to be forwarded so as io reach the Office by Friday noon .
The diffuiuUy of getting off the papers for Scotland » e as to reach on Saturday morning , will compel jus to go to press rather early—so early as to-make it imperative that the above regulations be strictly attended to by the Correspondents . We beg also , thai they will send us notices of all that transpires worth noticing . We shall , of course , be guided by circumstances as to . what , and how much , of their several communications may be inserted ; but non-insertion must -not lie made an excuse for not tending afterwards .
Though we shaU be obliged to go to Press early for the Scotch Papers , we shall give later editions for our readers nearer Leeds ; for this reason we require the transmission of the communica tions of our Correspondents on the days and times above stated . . To make the "Northern Star" as deterring of support as Late Intelli gence can make any News paper , we shall in future do that which has never yet been attempted by any Leeds Paper We shall regularly publish an edition on Saturday Morning , containing the London and
Provincial InteUigence «/ Friday ; and in which under the head of Spirit of the Leeds Press " we shall give whatever may be remarkable , or interesting , in ihe " sayings and doings" of our Leeds contemporaries . Several other improvements , both literary and mechanical , will be promptly introduced ; tending to make the "Northern Star "—the people ' s paper . —in every respect an organ worthy of the people , from whom it emanated , whom it serves , and by whom it is supported . We cannot dose this notice without returning to our
readers , subscribers , end agents , our best thanks for the vnexampled patience they have evinced in considering the difficulties we have so long had to contend with—difficulties which have never been surmounted , or attempted to be surmounted , by any other Newspaper—and in receiving en ih a I recount , lr ' Uh cheerfulness and satiyfictior . ^ i . j : r : V cojnes of the Star , of a character Jar different from that which we could havcicished to give them ; but which we were unable to do from Ihe feet of being compelled to go to-press at an unreasonably early period ot
the week . Our Machinery was only calculated , at'its'utmost stretch , to supply a circulation of ab&it 20 . 000 , while the demand for more than eight r . onUis , has been greatly more than double tliat nvmlcr . TJtis not only obliged vs to goto press ' early , to tlie exclusion of much valuable 1 ' tws , but it also not unfreguently caused our arjrnls to Lace much trouble and inconvejuencc fmm an irregular and insufficient supply . Errrij exertion that mortals could make was medr . . ' v every xme , in every department of the paper ; and yet were they , in spite of all that we could do ; often badly printed , deficient in quantity , and much worse made up than we could
have trished ; but such is the inflexible attach- - nerd "«/ the people to principle , whenever they see it honestly and fearlessl y maintained , that aU these disadvantapes ^ any' bne qf which might have destroyed Ihe circulation of any other paper , produced no effect on ours , which continued , and still continues , weekly to increase , in spite of every discouraging circumstance . We cannot but feel gratifiedj-unth this most unequivocal attestation , thai our honest efforts and well meant endeavours , are duty appreciated by the people . The increased facilities which we have now obtained , shall Ze taxed to their full stretch to give value and importance and efficiency to the N at ' tona Organ ..-.- .

LEEDS . Cooke ' s Cihcus . —rThis talented company of Equestrians have taken their farewell of Leeds for a season . Their performances closed on Tuesday evening , on which occasion the amusements were for the benefit of Mr . H . Cooke . > Ir . Cookejjun ., returned thanks for his father , and on behalf of himself and other members of the company , for the kiudiiess and support they had been honoured with wbi Ut in Leeds—a support which we are sure tho opinion of all classes of society will justify us in sayinir has not
- been more liberal than deserved . "We understand that Mr . Cookc , with his talented and most respect able family and company have gone hence to Newcastle , where wo doubt not the same scrupulous attention to the character of their entertainments , and the same high respectability of private conduct , which procured for them in this town the unauimous approbation of all parties , will equally ; recommend them to the universal patronage of our friends upon the Tyne and Wear . Most cordially do wo wish Mr . Cooke and his family every possible prosperity .
The Weather . —In this quarter , it has rained almost without intermission since Tuesday , and during Friday , Saturday , and Sunday , the rain was accompanied by high winds . On Saturday particularly , during one of the heaviest showers that fell this year , it blew like a whirlwind , twisting the corn round , and in several places damagmgit , wo fear irreparably . As to the harvest operations , they have made little progress . AVe have had some cutting but not mncL , and it is for tho greater part confined to land adjacent tothe coast . The Oats and Barlev are very grctu . In some places they have sproutwf , aud in others , especially mountain districts , they are so backward that it-is" thought that even with fine weather from this out * they will not bo fit for tho sickle before December- There is agreatdealof hay still uncut , and much of that which was in cock niight as well have been left standing , so thoroughly is it saturated . —Cork Constitution .
BRADFORD . Cr aiors Announcement . —The bellman of Bowling announced the following on Friday night last . Strayed or conveyed away from Goodman ^ End , a * person of the name of Thomas GUI , b y trade a baker . Whoever has found him may keep him ; for them that's lost him will never seek him . Lecture . —On Monday evening last a lecture was delivered in the Radical Association Room , Butterworth Buildings , on the necessity of abstaining , as far as possible , from the use of exeiseable articles , ; &e ; , in which the lecturer showed that it would be a means of working put tho political salvation of this country . .
Sermons . —We are informed that two sermons will be preached in the Democratic Preaching Room , Butterworth ' s Buildings , on Sunday next , in the afternoon , at two o ' clock , by Mr * J . Arraii , and in the evening at six , by Mr . William Thorn ' ton . Collections -will be made at the close of each service , towards paying the rent of the room . Milksellers t , , BuyERS . —The majority of the milkstaplers in Bradford hav « , during the week , advanced this healthful -beverage up to the winter price , and this two months before the usual time . This aroused the feelings of the poorer class of consumers , that pnblic meetings have , beeif held in various parts of the town , and resolutions agreed to not to purchase but at a certain price , namely , twopence per quart ; summer and winter a .

Alarm was immediately given , and several persons were promptly on the spot , when
one of the number , of the name of ; Watson , Was lowered , having the rope fastened round , his leg ; ho had not descended far before he cried draw up , and fell hack . He was , however , drawn up by tho leg , head downwards . A quantity of water was then thrown down , ; and whilst this was going on . one of the men employed in sinking arrived , ana with a firm resolution , got strapped fast to the rope , was lowered , and with great difiiculty succeeded IB bringing Tip one of the two ; nothing daunted , he was again lowered , and with still greater difficulty brought up the other .

Inqiests . —On Friday last , an inquest was held , before G . Dyson , Esq ., at the Fleece Inn , in this town , on view of the body of a little girl , aged two years and four months , the daughter of J . Wilkiiison of Hustlergate , dealer in crockery ware . " The child came to its death by falling backwards into a pan containing boiling water , which had only a few minutes before been removed from the fire and p laced in the corner of the fire-place . The accident happened at eight in the evening of Tuesday , and the child survived till half-past ten on Wednesday

The Coroner directed a post mortem examination , and from the evidence of the surgeon who made the examination it appeared that the canse was not as above stated , He had died by suffocation , produced by vomiting . The Jury returned a verdict—Died by natural
causes . DARLINGTON . We regret to havb to report that Darlington , through the conduct of the police , has again become a disturbed town . Oa Saturday night last , from half-past eleven o ' clock , till about two o ' clock on Snnday morniDg , very disgraceful proceeding ? took place . The first we noticii about half-pngt eleven o ' clock . TfaomaB Henderson , police officer , who has several tiraea beea convicted before the magixtrates at Darlington , and who not long * iuce retained from Durham goal , had been drinking with some of kin brother officers ,- he , Henderson , attacked a yonng man of tlie aame of Pollard » and b « at him in a most brutal manner with his bludgeon . Several respectable inhabitants went to the upot ,
and , on perceiving streams of blood , cned out shame . HtndenoD got further as « d * tanc » , and Pollard was conveyed to the lock-up , whero he remained until Monday at two o ' clock , vhen he was taken before the magistrates , and con-sicted in the penalty of twenty Bhilfings and costs . - The next was an attack made by policemen Proud and WiiHam WaUon , en Thomaa RobsoE , iron-fuundei , in the employ of Mr .
